by piece and transport 1t TO Chicago,
where il was to he rebuilt and made a
museum Of war relics He made his first
payment Of something over $1,000, and
gave his notes for the balance. Finding
in the meantime, however, that his scheme
for perpetua,ing the horrors of the civil
war did not pan out satisfactorily, and
that be had. TO use homely phrase, got
ten stuck" he concluded to let his Sc.
oond payments 60 by default In conse-
Quence the property was advertised for
resale, and Mr. GRAY persuaded one DR..
-- Bramble OF Cincinnati, to take
the Job off of his hands He bought the
warehouse last Thursday for $1,000, and
now the question arises, What will he DO
with it"
All this reminds us Of well known
nursery rhyme which we take the liberty
OF paraphrasing
There was man in our town
His name was Mr. Gray;
He jumped toto a briar bush,
And tore his eyes away.
Bot when ho found his eyes were out
With all his might aud main
He jumped int a I3rambie bush,
And scratched them In again.
