Bill, NYe on VIM. II. Vanderbilt.

I learn with much sadness that
VIM. II. Vanderbilt's once princcly
fortune has shrivcllcd down to $780,
900, 900. This piece of information
domestic me like clap of thunder
out of a clear sky. Once petted,
fondled and caressed, VIM. II. Van
derbilt, shorn of his wealth, resting
upon no foundation but his sterling
integrity, must struggle along with
the rest of us. In conclusion, [ do
not know what to say, unless it be to
appeal to the newspaper men of the
country in Mr.. VanderbiIt's behalf.
While he was. wealthy he was proud
and arrogant. He said: q Let the
newspapers be bIankety BANKED to
blank, "or words to that effect, but
we do not care for that. Let us for
get all that and remember that his sad
fate may some day be our own. In
our attiuence let us not lose sight of
the fact that Van is suffering. Let
us procure place for him on some
good paper. His grammar and spell
ling are a little bit rickety, but he
could begin as janitor and gradually
work his way up. Parties having
clothing or funds which they feel like
giving may forward the same to me at
Hudson, Wis, postpaid, and if the
clothes do not fit Van they may pos
sibly fit time.

Unevieille recette, r66dit6e pal
les journaux satiriques de 1882,
q N6poque Oh la plus terrible cpl
d6mie qui ait frapp6 la France
etait dams toute sd force:
I'm quarteron d~'indifSrence,
Autant de resolution,
Don't vons ferez infusion
Avec le jus de patience.
Point de process, force gazette,
Deux onces de soci6t4,
Avec deux dragmes d~'exercice.
Point de souci nj d'avarice.
Trois b0ns grains de devotion,
Point de n~ouvelle opinion.
Vous m6lerez le tout ensemble
P0uren prendre 81 bon vous semble
Autans lie soir que lie matin,
Avec IN doigt de fort bon vim.
Et verues que cette p~ratiqne
An cholera fera la nique.
On volt qua cette 6poque
d9ja, on r-ecommandait la tran
quillit6 d'esprit ct la gazette COM
me le meilleur remade contre le
cholera.
