Some men there are who love not gaping pig;
others are mad II they behold rat That Fisk and
Gould not partial prying nogs or ferroting In
qusitors must certainly prove Itself from the inde'
scribable mist IN which they have enveloped
themselves. Mr. Fisk u harlequin and Mr..
Jay Gould is clown. Jubilee Jr., slaps the
wand on the gaming table and jumps through
the financial window, while Gould, apparently as.
tonished nj the feat follows at all hazards and with
success. Every child IL aware OF the important
fact thar fairies cannot be seen at all times OF the
day and night Not that the railroad prince % fond
or vain enough to exhibit his portly form for vulgar
gaze to stare at; but his visitors many, and
IN order to demonstrate his impartlallly
he has courteously declined receiving friends
especially those who oftentimes In uncalied Tor
graciously concealed. The fact ID that FISK and
Gould are wanted" Ingenuity, however, seems
to Lrlulnphed over perseverance,, yor notWlth-
standing the rigorous attempts TO serve both FISK
and Gould with certain documents, the willy heroes

and evidently suspecting the object OF his visit
cried out to the guards about the doors, "Turn
everybody out OF the building; close the doors and
admit no one." At this time Fisk presented HIM

wOuld-be representatives OF the law were set at
complete defiance. Thus the matter stands. anu
