A certain senbe, learned In the law, wan sought ‘and begred to throw the ealcium ight of bis logal Kknowledge on this never-to-ba-sufliciently-clenred- up matter, It seemed that Mr. Jonoa inhahited a certain messungo or tenement (known to the come mon herd aa & hansey, located on Dlock 1, etc. numbered on Pralrie avenna and eligibly tocated midway between Eightoenthand Twentieth atrects, This whs the consideration set forth in the agroe- ment before mentioned.

In the year 1872 the obe etract men asked from tho Connity af Coak the de- Iightfully round snm of halt a million dollars for thicie abstract books. F.

Why shoald ha canvey this to Mes. J. in conalderatio of sixty-four fect of earth? And Echo, obtrusive as s the nataro of the sox, eaid that over the head of Femando Jonea hung the wword of Damocles: that he lived In dally ex- ectation of a fudgment azainat him for st least $56,000 o necount of the National Lifc-Insurance Compony, In which he wne, cestwhile, o ntock- halder; tiat Tike the unjnat ‘steward in the parable (for which nee the Gospels, and whan fonuni make a note of) Mr, Jones was making fricnda with tho smammon of unrighteonsnesss that hio had within the last few months made many nseignments unto Grorge 7.
