enthusiastically received and often repeated,
and in one week thereafter he received
propositions for plays at rates that, could he
have written al Of them, would have given
him $4,000. In tho meantime, too, some Of

written by On insane man. The death Of
John Mccullough precipitatcd the fate Of
BARLEY Campbell. His friends noted a similar
10y in the decline of the two men; some hints
Of il got into the papers, and Campbell be-
came violent at times, threatening to shoot
any one who criticised him. He had invested
his money in real estate, could not convert it
readily into cash and was exasperated there

perfectly clear and more than usually brill
