dividend! Aye, DIVIDEND and that too with closed
doors-thelr notes hawking about the streets at Is
per cent. discount
The ''Notes' of Dickens have created considera-
BILE talk in papers, whilst the people of all class
es, Imean such could raise l2l cents have pur-
chased copy. Never did witness such rush for
them-it was only equal to that which follows the
run upon Bank, previous to It's closing doors I!

morning papers.

King, when some strange and startling develope-

the most immoral, disgracefu, and disgusting cases
