The Fail Of Bnrmsss,,.

The New York Herald has the following no.
tice of BArnum's failure:
"The author of that book clarifying himself as
q millionaire from the arts and appliances of OBJ
tanning money upon false pretences, is, according
to his own statements in court, completely crush
ed out AL theproits Of all his Eeeee Mermaids
all his woolly horses, Greenland whales, Joyce
HethS, negroes turning white, Tom Thumbs, and
monsters and inpostures of all kinds, including
the reported $4,000 received by the copywright
OF that beck, are all swept away, lIindoo Palace
elephants, and all, by the late inyincibIe show
mans remcrse!ess assgnees. It is case eminent
y adapted TO point moral or adorn tale' |.
But if the world has heretofore looked On with
admiration and astonlshaent at Barnunl's shrewd- |
ness, talents and successes, it will now learn with
equal surprise the astounding fact that all his |
speudiu enterprises and their golden returns have
been swallowed up ii single confidence specula- |
ton IN \ 1ankee clocks, speculation in which the
great hnancier has iuy eelipsed the foly credul-
ly and carelessness of any confidence case we have
heard OF. The history OF the great Snowman is |
thus, however, consistently wound up. The poi |
son of that demoralzing book is thus effectively
rendered inHocuous. 1t can do no further harm |
The forfeit is paid. He has madea clear atone
ment, and sacrificed all He IS entitlesl to credit
ior e. Ihe public, therelore may now frcely
sympath.ze with Bsrnunids the victinl of nlispa-
placed confidence IN Yankee clocks; and the whole
sconinanity will be pleased to learn thatin spirit
he is not broken down, but that Les has yet the
will and activity required to Start with the world
