MUSICAL CRITICISM

Stinking Fish

Tò the Editor of the "Mohrh-ChimA Dan NEWS"

He states that it o over-advertise goods of inferior quality" "My understanding, and 1 Have authority for it, is that it means "to depreciate ones own interest" which is something quite different, and in the interests of your cosmopolitan readers I think the correction should be made.
