CARICATURES OF KING.
MADE FOR LONDON. London, Oct. 19.
Twenty dollars is now the market value in London of copies of the suppressed issue of the Paris paper, Assiette de Beurre, containing a grotesquely vulgar caricature of King Edward. The British Ambassador at Paris informs his Government that these publications have virtually no sale in Paris, but exist mainly on the avidity with which they are purchased in London. The Boulevard journalists cleverly exploit the diseased curiosity of Englishmen to see their royalties outrageously lampooned, while shuddering with horror of Trench coarseness.
