That the monkey tribe generally, should be interest in a member of their fraternity is by no means singular. The only marvel is that in describing the feats of strength of this gorrilla of Barnum&#8217;s the paragraphs should be so weak. Probably Phineas will receive on his investment somehing like a thousand percent in gratuitous advertising.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Published in the Waukegan Gazette, Waukegan, Illinois, on 10\/05\/1867. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Mr. Barnum, of the N.
