about the biggest individual thing that,
the history,of the world shows. Cooke

six hundred millions of dollars in- a
speculation. Phew!
Cooke grope ses to take fifty millions
of five per cent, by the first of Febru
ary, with the option of fifty millions
during the year. He asks that the
interest be made payable in Europe,
and then will take two hundred mil
lions more of the fives, and three

All the London journals have arti
cles on the assassination of James
Fisk, Jr. They cite the cases of
Richardson and Crittenden, attribute
the frequency of such deeds to the
peculiar civilization of America, and
denounce the “laxity of public senti
ment and the weakness of the Courts,
which make the practice of carrying
concealed weapons so general in the
LJnited States.” The Times arrives at
the conclusion that the assassin’s pis
tol in this case “only killed Fisk; the
spirit of which he was the. incarnate
representative, fa still living and strong
in the city of New York. ”
