in counting the number of dead flies on one
of those sheets of fly paper which are hung
as an advertisement, in front of Roberts d.
Nelden's drug store. The heartlessness of
the CITY editor of the morning sheet in not
allowing the pencil pusher to make one of
his intelligent jots on the strength of the
knowledge he thus worked so hard to gain
is unprecedented, and, now that the readers
of the sheet know what they have missed,
there will likely be sudden shrinkage in
the length of the subscription list.
