JfttTiiE rise of the Bank of En-land
rati to nine per cent indicates a grand crisis
ia the London money market. The purpose
o! the advance is to relieve the pressure on
the bullion reserve and to check the export
of gold. The gold reserve of the Bank is
iiow below twenty millions, which is the limit
that is never passed without anxiety.

n;ueh commendatiou cannot be given the
Mutu;.l Life.for its determination to protect
its p-j icy-holders from a fraudulent loss, nor
can too much praise be given it for the earn
est, energetic wanner in which it has pursued
the living conspirator to the end.
It has even doubtful if Uddeizook would
ever have been brought to justice had it not
been for the resolution of this insurance com
pany to discover the truth. It was not that
a single loss would be to serious a matter, but
the company acted iu the business with so
much determination toexpo.se the fraud, and
to brbg the guilty to punbdimct, as to leave
it c.ear to all men that it would bean unsafe
thing hereafter for any one to attempt a
iraua upon it. Aud lor this it deserves riot
only the thanks of the whole insurance fra
ternity, but of every citizen who appreciates
the benefits of insurance.

he was with Goss a few minutes before the

ends this remarkable tragedy, beginning in

On Tuesday evening last, snow covered
the ground to the depth of over an inch.
It commenced snowing about 0 o'clock in the
evening, and continued about , two hours,
when it turned to rain. Looking on the
steady fall of the sad snow, one could not
choose but think of the poor, of the working
classes, of the monetary stress, of the fact
that man- manufacturing and other establish
menfs are reducing their force?, and of the
destitution and suffering which the unemploy
ed will inevitably be called on to undergo.
And our voice is, let no employer discharge
his workmen in a time like this, unless such
a step is absolutely necessary. It would be
heartless cruelty to do so. We stand upon

will scarcely chiim a success jhcre, since
their party was not known in the contest,
but it is, of course, none the less a lie

has turned the heads of many farmers,
and made them an easy prey to any et of
political tricksters who profess a peculiar

ever, seems to have been a close one," and

complicated a nature that nothing can
very certainly be foretold until fuller re

HOW A "DRUMMER" GOT SOLD. !

; nal. : " ;
The proclivities of the traveling ageuts,
or "drummers, to sell goods and make
money are so great that any one who
has encountered a specimen of thi genu
homo in a store, would imagine they had
not a thought to bestow ou ought else be
side mercantile affairs: 'The drummer is
a sly fox, however, and by nature of hi
avocation acquires a versatility of tact in
more than mercantile matters, aud a cun
ningness that would reflect credit on Le
Reynard himself. -
He is an adept in the art of flirtation,

'When far from the lips that are dear"

that's near," aud in every town he goes
to he cultivates the acquaintance of the
lair sex. and endeavors to impress them
with the idea that he is a "lasciualing
felb.w." m
But the fox, notwithstanding his cun
siing, frequently falls a victim to superior
lact, and the drut! mer gets outdone oc
casionaby by superior strategy even iu
provincial cities and towns
A drummer from Philadelphia who ha.l
been stopping at the Wyoming House,
recently cultivated the acquaint nice of a
young lady on Penn avenue. It matter
ed not to him whether she wn engaged
or not. He told her Vie was "an .tgeut
from Philadelphia," and was doubtless
certain of securing her affection. He
asked if he might call on her on a certain
evening, aud bring a friend along with
him The young lady answered with the
blandest of smiles that he might, aud ac
cordingly when the evening came the
agent and his friend set out in high g!ec
to call on her. Meanwhile she was vi.-t
ted by a young man, who was not a drum
mcr, but win) was doubtless held in high
er csteeui. She told him ol the cin-nin
stance, and both hoped t he :igvi au I his
frieud would not call. Picscutly the
young man hit upon a h ippy i lea, h;
got a sheet of pa er and wrote on it in
large characters the tertible ta'i.-miioic
words, "Small Pox," after which he Sxc-i

and then plucking his frieiid by the
