 Nov, it is ve.g melancholy to relate that Tubbs was not man of the stamp which the world delights to stare and gape alto parade as marvel of good ness or cf wickedness (giving preference to the latter, through it's creating more excjtement) Things have come to this dire pass, Tubbs might have Schuyler ized, so to speak-have made sortie on his difficulties, and have endeavored, by a desperate piece of swindlerian bravery, to have annihilated himself, SO simuItane- ously destroying the fortress and its be- sieging army of creditors. But, unfortu- nately, such little gunpowder as Tubbs had in him was dampened by a small stock of honesty, which, though sadly deteriorated, had not entirely lost its power of spelling, thwarting and upset tng many brilliant plans and prospects which otherwise he might have been dis posed to adopt.
 And so poor Tubbs sat down moaning.
 There was an end of him, then, of course. When man is really in diff culties, and he sits down bemeaning his situation, the vultures will soon gather about him and devour him. It quickly got abroad that man who had made some little stir in certain circles was about making great stir in certain other circles, circles where:: all mishaps are sources of grati6cation and profit. Peo- pie shook their heads, and discovered all at once that they had never liked the man, and related the strange misgiving which had filled them even when par taking of his turtle and vension, as to his soundness and responsibility. He was declared to be cheat, an impostor, a miserable upstart, vulgar fellow. MT. Smith said to Mir Jones, "I told wou >" and MT. Jones remarked, "I ex- pecsed what would be the end of it." And when the final crash had come, and MT.
