PRIDE AND PUR1rYo OF JAMES F1sK,
Jn.-It appears from iMcAlpine's "Life
and Times of James Fisk, Jr.," that the
redoubtable James had not only stio iong
aversion to lying, but TINT he had an ut
ter contempt for man who would be o
salesman in a wholesale dry goods shop.
He thought there must be fun ;c the life
of o salesman in retail concern, where
existence is made more than endurable
by chatting with women and measuring
tape for them, but to stand and "dickerV
with man who knows you are lying,
and who knows that you know that he
knows you are lying, was thing from
which his gigantic soul ever reyolted.
This purity and this pride made him at
last controller Of Erie and the Opera
House-tWo institutions in which pride
and purity went hand in hand. and Sc
became notorious. Pork World.

piece of sharp practice on tho part OF
tho directors and officers of al insurance

brought to light, but for somc mysteri-
Gus reason it failed to get into the papers
of that city. It seems that these officers
borrowed from $4,000 to $50, 900 each
OF tho fund of their company, giving MS
security therefor, their individual notes
and mortgage Oh their homestead.
After the fire at Chicago they went to
that city. represented thoir company as
insolvent, bought up claims against it
ut is said for twenty-five cents on tho
dollar.) and then endcavored to uso these
claims ut their face value in payment of
their notos held by tho company. and
were only prevented from doing SO by
tho receiver, who shut down on the lit
tlc game.-Sp,ingisld Republican.
