very profitably, too, by buying or
spot good paper at six and sever
cent, according to the scarce
money. One day he proposed to
King an operation involving sew,
millions.
"Sire," said he to the royal spe
lator, "the royal bills lose great d
in the place; their discount is now c
siderable; it is the very moment to ]
several millions. 1 am certain &
will rise, and that there must follow
considerable profit to some one il

monarch, ais not to be depended

The war cloud is still threatening, and the
powers are making preparations for war, but
in the meantime there is protracted comedy
of negotiations which will precede the tragedy

mated
THE silver wedding of the Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales bids fair to dim the splendor,
if not eclipse the effulgence of last summers
rejoicngs. That the popularity Of the future
King and Queen of Great Britain is in no way
on the wane is made quite apparent by the
extensive preparations which are being every
where made within the realm TO celebrate the
event in royal and BETTING manner.

looked for. In 1883 the firm failed for
81, 200, 600 and were granted an extention.
