Mr. Ryrant hid given up all hopes yeais ubo, of ever realizing anything on the rent claim and possibly never thought of It after It had ben out lawed, except when, in recent years, the papeis contained an account of fome of his manv startling financial exploit. The recent l.ift of these storle kept the thing in Mr. lirynnt s mind for a longer period than usual, and tho re sult was a determination to try a dun on his muUi-mtlllonalre debtor. He did it nnd It brought the desired result. In a caiefully woided letter directed to Mr. Newbouse's Now York address, he reminded him of the un paid rent bill, and stated that the $125 would be very aceeptablo Just now. RECEIVED A CHECK.
