go Broadway, Nov. 25, 1887.
By the agreement we find that the Doctor agreed
to pay Locke 500 cash down; that when the work
was finished, corrected, set up by the printers, and
ready for the press he was to have 500 more; and
further o. $3.50 when thousand copies of the
work were sold. On the back of the contract is
Locke's receipt for $780, the contract and receipt
bearing the same date, September, 1886. For this
consideration, Locke agrees to complete the work in
six MONTHS and that it shall be popular saleablc
and interesting memoir; that he would exert his best
talents and employ all his diligence and ability upon
the work. Therefore, Mr. Locke was to receive $3.50
for writing 300 pages of post octaro, in six months;
that is to say, by the month Of April, 1887 In April
Locke applied TO Mr. Price 10 do the work for him. as
he did not understand the French of the manuscript
and agreed TO give him $3.50 for the job but said
nothing about his agreement with Chaberr; his con-
tract was $3.50 on delivery of the work The book
was finished by the middle of August last; and when
Mr. Price handed in the manuscript, and asked for
his money, he was told that there agreement
between Locke and Chabcrt, by which he could not
be paid I'LL the book was printed, and 1000 copies
sold. Mr. Price holds on to the manuscripts; and
Chabert cannot procure ehor his 500 which he gave
TO Locke or the work, on which Mr.. Price has legal

The hicroglyphical and m stical characters which
the Doctor found in his pocket when he dved for the
$780, is told us evidently refer TO the knocking down
coachmen, staggering round corners, and bullying in
cellars under the influence of gin sings. These form
essential features in the theory which is about TO
illuminate the admiring public.
