Show P. T. Barnum, the great American showman, died Tuesday last. Not since the Alexandrian era has any other man collected so many animals together as he. In the wilds of Africa, in the jungles of Asia, in the. interior of South America, everywhere he had men purchasing wild beasts. His show was as grand as it whs huge, and out of it he made his millions. Kings, princes and beggars,all were delighted at this man's collections,and scientists even were instructed with his general plan of classification. |
