Quintus, editor of the Sheboygan Nieuwsbods
in a letter dated September 9Th, 1854, thus re-
marks-"You will observe that have publish
ed several certificates lately. These are not
mere 'puffs' bu, literally true; and should you
continue advertising with u.s. you may expect to
secure large orders, from every Holland settle
ment in the United States" This is an extract

And then, os Madame de Flouncey says, 1t

pay.an who had heard OF the great little man,
came up from Espinall to Paris on purpose TO

The countryman mounted the stairs, and rang
at Lablache's door Pardon" said he, enter

Lsblache, who, it is well known, rejoiced in the
