Volume 62 — No Mistake in the Name.

Reading edition

As "A Thankoffering from India," a contemporary announces that on account of the recovery of the Prince of Wales, a charitable donation of £200 has been sent to London by Mr. Cowasjee Jehangier Readymoney. Anybody would have given Mr. Readymoney credit for having earned his name, and now everybody must see that he well deserves it. Is Mr. Readymoney a Parsee? At any rate, he is the reverse of Parsi-monious.
