It in one of the oft-asserted pretensions of the champions of the single gold standard for the currency of nations, that gold is thu tueitsiire adopted by the majority of commercial countries, and should, therefore, be tlio currency of the whole world. This pretension is untrue, whether we view the nations of the world numerically, or whether we count their populations. Yet it continues to be asserted with the same confidence that the manifold other assumptions of the opponents of silver money arc maintained. It IfOMW !,.

Alicnt KiiNUrr Thjscll. Philadelphia Bulletin. An insurance agent whose buccinater muaclea hud been developed during a long and highly nuccesiful business carreer to a uiont astonishing state of hardness, and whoso fertil ity of imagination is equalled only by his fluency of expression, while professionally engaged in the impenetrable forest* of South America, fell in one day with a huge boa constrictor. "Tell me, my saurian friend," asked he," have you an yet effected an insurance upon your very valuable life?" The boa constrictor merely willed its Jail tdightly and winked nervously with itii left eye. The insurance agent, however, regarded these actions as a negation, and briskly continued, "The act of innuring one's life in an entirely reliable company?Such an the Great C'hizzlum, which 1 have the honor to represent?iri a duty that every inan owes to his family or friends.
