A POINT SETTLED.
Dr. Digg — for whose researches the world can
never be grateful enough — has been studying out the
genealogy of the great family of Co., which occupies
such a distinguished mercantile position. This family is
scattered the world over, and almost every sign in every
city bears the name of one of them as partner. He
traces their genealogy back to Jericho, of Palestine
(modern Jeremiah Co., or, for shortness, Jerry Co.),
whom we find frequently mentioned in ancient books.
The doctor expresses the belief that the exclusive business
habits of the family may be attributed to their
Jewish extraction.
