THAT BUSINESS MAN.

[to the editor of the standard:] - Sir,— ls itfa facfc.tha'c thia " Business Man," who is taking so much interest in the advertising sheet of the Standard, and who professes to know as much as the little boy who had this accident, u to be the future manager <jf your contemporary ? So itfis commonly . reported, and I may say thai} the-r^-port has emanated from the "Business Man" himself, who by his own accouut is going to do great things when •« he gets it in his own hands," and a certain person "goes to the wall.". Perhaps his confidence has not been weli kept, but if " Business Man" doe.s not step into somebody- else's sh6eVi>y and Bye,* it T will be no fault of his. That's his! littfc f game, all accounts, when great! reforms are to take place, and thej {[ Daily Blatherskite" is to be a model 1 concern under the experienced control . of "J3usine«ii Man.? f *j*eats' 9^i 1 * h Jir * . 1 ,lxhe prophets say that tlje nW regime is to come int^effect yearly next year, and no "secret is mkde' of the matter in, Foxton and other places/ I fear " Busi- i ness Man in mmding other people'* business too much has beea letting his wrag too 1 freely, : and in the exuberance of his joy has been gabbling indiscriminately, and the " Busiuess Womeja" have been getting hold of the '■ story, aq that there is likely, to, be * fiat ia the fire" ! before long. I have no doubt V Business Man" is counting the days till. a; sertain person "goes to the waI4,V as eagerly as he dummy . advertisements." He'll move in the. 'Vuppa succles" yet, .'as ( g,£ullfledged; proprietor, when theother party 'fgoestothe wall," you knpwi— lam, : .■ ) Behind, the Scene.
