TIe b'Urning of Columbia and tlie quiekly following collapse of the Southern cause cor npletely exhausted his I esurces, but with tie elasticity of temperament that was ebraoter istic of him, lie entered at onee into the auction business, and t4y his ex.. ample and influence infused new energy into minyi who were well iiigh despairing.
