(Derived from Lady Winwood’s Card–Rack.)

Second Hint.

(Derived from a recent Money Article in morning Newspaper.)

“We are requested to give the fullest contradiction to unfavorable rumors¹ lately in circulation respecting the firm of Pizzituti, Turlington, and Branca. Some temporary derangement² in the machinery³ of the business was undoubtedly⁴ produced in consequence of the sudden death of the lamented⁵ managing partner, Mr. Turlington, by the accidental discharge of a revolver which he was examining. Whatever temporary obstacles may have existed are now overcome. We are informed, on good authority, that the well-known house of Messrs. Bulpit Brothers has an interest in the business, and will carry it on until further notice.”
