the unfortunate R41sroS, JAY CooKE, aud
other American fluanciern, whose operations
We have been accustomed to look upon az

schemes reads like q chapter taken ont Of

as teacher Of languages in tho United
States, from which humble station ho rose to
place where he dealt with hundreds Of mill
iona Of money in esory part Of Europe. Iis
visit to America WAS short, md he next Mp.
peared in London and afterwards in Berlin,
bat It was not until 1870 that he began to
attract public attention as colossal
specnlator. At that time he had i'm
rnense aums Of money ut Lis disposal
and almost unlimited credit. He was q
! railway contractor in eeyornl European States;
m engine manufacturer and proprietor Of
three of the largest iron works in Europe;
heavy proprietor in lnnds and mines; md
