The chattel mortgage was, of course, turned over to the New York assignees with the other property. Barnum's widespread reputation for shrewdness was, in his present difficulties, destined to be the cause of considerable annoyance to him.

The Chinese have little respect for foreign trade. Your beggarly commerce! was the language in which the mandarins of Pekin used to talk to Mr.
