MIR. james FISK, JR., made his first ap.
pearance IL the character OF witness in the
Supreme Court the other day, DURING the
trial of the Drew Y anderbilt case Mr. Fax
III once achieved coH plete success. His
ability as q comedian was warmly recog
nized and while be was on the stand he
kept the audience in state of uproarious
mirth. So successful first appearance is
rare in the annals of stage or court, and
Mr.. Fisk may congratulate himself upon the
enviable reputation which his performance
has assured to him. It is to be hoped that
this will not be his last appearance in the
same character, for it would be unkind to
the amusement seekers of New York were
he to rest satisfied with his single though
signal success. He will find no difficulty in
securing any quantity of engagements as a
comic witness, and though be will
doubtless be tempted to undertake a "atarr
AMI" tour throughout the country, perform
ing in the Boston Philadelphia, and CHICAGO
courts, 1t is certain that he will End no LACY
of appreciative audiences should he remain
in this city. There 10 no lawyer who would
not feel sure Of his jury could he engage the
services of Mr.. Fisk as an eccentric witness
and we may expect to see lively competi
ton springing up among the members O
the bar for the right to announce that Mr.
James Fisk, Jr., the celebrated comic wit
ness, has been engaged at an immense ex
pense, and will appear for one afternoon
only. in the trial of doe against Roe
Such an announcement would crowd tn
