What facts could better attest not merely a singular harmony of character, but an admirable conformity of virtues? The history of the "Intelligencer" has, as to all its leading particulars, been for fifty years spread before thousands of readers, in its continuous diary. To re-chronicle any part of what is so well known would be idle in the extreme.
Except for the slightly embarrassing detail of being without current funds I was also free of Le ffaçasé and the Daily Intelligencer. "Mr Blank," I said, "I need some money for immediate expenses."

The conspiracy defeated itself, however, with so many frantic sellers competing against each other and the news was out by the time the first of my new columns appeared in the Intelligencer.
This person came up to the desk with a quick determined step, and looked the Intelligencer in the face with a resolute eye, though at the same time some secret trouble gleamed from it.
