feat because of the misery it entails
upon our now fanatic-cursed country.

GRAYr recently started new enter
prise BY which lie expected to beat an
eastern life insurance company out of
$50, GOO. His private Secretary, Gen.
Porter. started a subgcrip ton to insure
his life for that sum, the actual cost of
which would be about s27 900. Por-
ter's brother-in-law was the agent of
the insurance company, and his COM
mission on the policy would have been
about 81 800 The premium was to
have been collected from Grants office
holders in New York and the large
cities, The scheme only failed through
premature exposure It will probably
be revived after public disgust has
ebbed in the light OF some other mer-
cenery plot to get money.
