My dear Gentlemen You are extreme.
ly kind, but let me entreat you to desist.
l am so tired, cant you write about some
thing else besides finance? Please do.
Woman is copious theme, and the wealth
er is always neat and handy topic. l
quite agree with both sides of you. Your
arguments are absolutely unanswerable.
There ought to be no end of greenbacks
and also nothing but gold. Both are a
great deal better than either. You have
convinced me Of this so often that am in
state of sublime addle. But this is not ALL
l observe with anguish and alarm that the
more you write about finance the less there
is Of finance. Let me beg you not to write
any mole. If you do money will totally
disappear. Soon the surface of the globe
will be covered with able editorials two
feet ceep. There will not be dollar on
earth nor living man, and the epitaph OF
the human race will be, "Died of finance on
the brain without solitary red"

"OuDEIs" concludes this week the
most interesting series of letters the
JOURNAL has ever published. They
have been universally appreciated and
commended for their interesting por-
trayals Of European antiquities and
modern life and manners. Some have
gone 80 far as to pronounce them su-
perior to the brilliant transatlantic
contributions to tho metropolitan
journals. At any rate, on account Of
their straightforward simplicity and
plainness Of style, they are better
suited to the vast majority of readers
than many ofthe stilted performances
Of more pretentious writers. His
nom de plume, "Oudeis," is a Greek
word meaning Nobody or mo
One" His pr@nomen and patro-
nymic are Mr.. ]. Semmes Deveomon.
