Ou tho other hand, if tho bariels each acd overy oo corresponded in the rectifier's column aud the rectifier's Gaugor's columin, it wauld «how a curious coincideuco that oxpon- enco wouldu's warrant corroct. The intereuce, it ono mere to bo diawn, wonld be that the ] the Gauger wero Sl Qaugor never gaugod the Larcels for the roctie for at all, but just ran his tongue out and COIED DOWN in hia column what the rectitior had alroady put dowu iu b, and what was, of course, on tha stamps, though it ought ot be within guashot of right.
