In madness there is sometimes a method, you
know, ana last November stephen Branch met
me ana said, my dear Max. eore year IS passed
every one o the MANAGERS the Mana sers' Asso-
ciat on will be assasHnaed or his house will be
burned down Well Mr. Barnum's Museum was

burned and no v the Academy gone so stephen,

reached, but as Webster said IL still 1--we, and If
ANYBODY has claim against me ct MIN present 1T.
The arrangements for the next year are good

no tenehted-they have lost their entire interest.

Ia a's. he Academy was rather large for hun; he
has engaged new house for the next season for
Risl or and his troupe, and hope nIs friends Will
make up his losses. So that things considered,
he perhaps, s benefited rather than injured BY the
fire. Ana Il anl other person. by any chance, should
have gruuge agan>t me and tue AcademY-as, Tor

have ken an active part III a crusade agans any
body in any way, why OF course he or it would be
glad TO have me burned out as Barnum was and as
Butler was (queer coIDcdence-wasn't itYl But of
course there Is no such person-oh, no-"not tor no
money" IL is possible that the fire accidental,
but not probable. Qule naturally look and so
will the public thank GOO, at both sides Of this
