It is said that adi gation of the coming disaster were not wanting, The Bank's noceptances were not taken up over- punctually, and sometimes the payment of draft was extended over a period of two or three days. To all those things, however, 'no attention was paid. The pubito found in the names of the shareholders a suficient guncautec against any mischanos.

It is not the custom among foreigners to credit the Japanese with any largo emvunt of compier. cial enterprise, yet we are disposed to think that they will harnlop rather starfling ospṛatios ane of those five days.. Already in the matter of advertising, dy can afford to give their critica considerable odła. Evon Holloway Limssif uover conceived the brilliant ides of employing ladies to sell his pilla. He was completely outdons by the Japanese aprenintor, who hired a hundred comely lassos, and Crossing them in parti-coloured uniforius gave lo esok a kocwing little hand- valise and a natty mutbrelle, in company with which they strolled about the streets in lands of three or four, singing out the name of a certain costrum in a pretty contralto, and turning the hida of half the city with curiosity or a gentler Sandy, sentiment. We have all seen these enchanting

They have ceased to ornament the thoroughfares now. The tax imposed on paton mulicines proved too much for their am- ployer. None the less he drove a thriving tande before those now fiscal tyranules, though, weATION. confess that, for our own part, we never detected, nor ever met anyone who had dotantod, the pretty peldurs in the act of selling so much as the worth of a cash.
