He has already got the picture for the

superior people, the Artist's rich colour-

country to wear satin gaiters ? Of course, Mr. Horsley will reply
that he " sat in gaiters" for his portrait. But this is not a satis-

seems to represent a first attempt at Photography—Phaon sighting
Sappho with the instrument, and perhaps calling the operation Sap-

THE GOLDEN AGE.
The WHiTECHArEL Gold Mining Company (Limited).—[Advt.]

This is a Company formed to utilise the valuable gold-fields which
have existed unworked for centuries in the Great Essex Marshes.
It is difficult to account for the want of intelligence and enterprise
shown by the population of London, except upon the theory that
people generally neglect the opportunities for acquiring wealth
which may be found almost under their noses. The development of
these fields will employ the surplus labour of the East-End, and
thus commend the scheme to the practical philanthropist; while the
minute subdivision of the shares enables the smallest capitalist to
avail himself of a class of investment only brought, as a rule, within
the reach of bankers and millionnaires. The following certificate
from M. T. Quarts, Esq., F.I.G.S., is the best guarantee of the value
of this investment:—

" I have examined the Essex Marshes, and I have no hesitation in
saying that large masses of gold are quite as likely to be found in
that district as in many others."—M. T. Quarts, F.I.G.S.

A Disclaimer.—[Advt.]

The Wormwood Scrubs Gold Mining Company (Limited) beg to
give notice that they have no connection with the Essex Marshes
Gold Mining Company (Limited).

Another Disclaimer.—[Advt.]

The Essex Marshes Gold Mining Company (Limited) beg to give
notice that they have no connection with the Salisbury Plain Gold
Mining Company (Limited).

One more Disclaimer.—[Advt.]
The Salisbury Plain Gold Mining Company (Limited) beg to give
notice that they have no longer any connection with gold, but have
gone into the Out of Date Tea Business.

Conscience Money.—[Advt.]

The Secretary of the Asylum for Idiots begs to acknowledge the
receipt of four nuggets—probably containing Australian gold—from
the Never-too-late-to-Mend Gold Mining Company, Pumicestone
Chambers, E.C.
