Poor Kate Claxton, after all her hard

The other day, while in the office OF
we'll known broker, was shown relic
of Jim Fisk. 1t was the bust OF him,
which, together with one of Gould, used
TO decorate the Erie railroad office in the
Grand Opera House. The likeness is s
striking one, and any one who ever
saw the hero of Black Friday could
not help sdmiriag it. 1t was in con-
nection with this bust aud that OF Gould
that Bill Travers, the wittily wicked
banker, got of one of his best sayings.
The busts were shown TO him and his
opinion of their merits asked. "They are
very go-go.good," replied the witty stsm-
merer, "but why do-do-don't you hang
of the Saviour IN be.between
them"
guess you have got enough of this
rambling stuff and l will stop until you
hear again from MACK.
