They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti cation. . SCIENTIFIC AND ORNAMENTAL PRESENTS.

The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last annual general meeting a report was made to them for the quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of £208,774.

The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by—viz., £134,811 14s. 9d.—raises the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d. The interest received during tho year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the productive portion of tho realised assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report. The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £sl2s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 is. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than those of last year by nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount of premi'ims paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are less than those of last yoar by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslost absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 51- per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows DR. LIABILITIES.

On ccmparing it with that of 1867, it will be observed that further investments have been made on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about £ll,OOO more has been advanced on security of the com pany's policies.

Wendell's jacket is too loose. A straighter one would improve his health.—Boston Post. GRANT AS A TARTAR.--The New York Star says :—lt begins to look very much as if the Radi cals had caught a Tartar in electing General Grant. During his stay in this city the General has snubbed them at every point. He flatly re fused to dine with the Union Leaguers, and has even declined to accept any attention from that quarter. The army of Radical patriots in search of office he contemptuously spurns, and he has given standing orders to his private secretary to burn all their office-begging letters. This con duct is striking consternation into the ranks of the politicians, but it meets the approval of the masses. The mere fact that General Grant, at this early period, has firmess enough to give the Radicals the cut direct augurs well for an inde pendent administration. If he will only con tinue to " fight it out in that line," shaping his course so as to subserve the interests of the people rather than those of the politicians, he will de serve and receive the commendation of all good citizens. To Form A GALLERY.—GeneraI Grant is coming to New York to spend a week or two. We take the liberty of letting out one of his secrets. He in tends to get the photograph of every place-hunter that approaches him, and to send all off to Wash ington to be filed in a conspicuous place for his in formation during the entire term of his administra tion.—New York Times. General Grant is impartial in his distribution oJ favours in New York. He dines with Pierrepont war Democrat ; breakfasts with Greeley, Republi can ; and dines again with Hoffman, Democrat, a a dinner given in honour of Evarts, Johnson Re• npublica. GENERAL GRANT'S ForausE.—The Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat says:— " General Grant is rich already, and by cautious in vestments he is destined to be very rich one day, ranking with the most opulent. He owns thirty eight acres of land within the corporate limits of Washington, worth $2,000 an acre. His house here is held at $60,000. A farm near St. Louis and houses at Galena and in Philadelphia should add $lOO,OOO to the former items. Three hundred thousand dollars will probably not be in excess of the President elect's possessions. Meanwhile his commercial training and fondness of material specu lations, added to his good luck and caution, are ex emplifying themselves in judicious operations in many honourable fields. It is altogether probable that we shall have in Grant a President who, exer cising all due liberality and hospitality in the Chief Magistracy, will be the first President since Wash ington to be discreet and practical in the manage ment of his private fortune. His comparative youth wi►l permit him, should he live to the average age of Presidents, thirty years' duration after the ex piration of his term of office. A. New York paper thinks General Grant cannot be a politician, because be "paid promptly for an overcoat he bought" in that city cn Monday. Nov. IG.—The " Grant hat" has already appeared on the promenade in New York. MISCELLANEOUS NE B'S. NEW PEERS. The imperial I? et-iew is responsible for the following anticipations of promotion. Mr. Gladstone intends to create several new peers, among them Sir J. V. B. Johnstone, Bart., M.P. for Scarborough, and Mr. Wentworthßeaumont, M.P. for South Northumber land. Amongst tho eldest sons of peers who will, it is said, be called to the Upper house, in their fathers' baronies, arc mentioned the names of Lord Harting ton, Earl Grosvenor, and Lord Pelham. The Niarquis of llartington, 'it will be remembered, is the eldest son of the Duke of Devonshire, Earl Gros venor of the Marpiis of 'Westminster, and Lord Pelham of the Earl of Chichester. CHANGES. We learn from the John Bull that the new Bishop of Mauritius will be nominated before tTie Duke of Buckingham resigns the seals of office. The Bishop of Labuan not having formally completed his resignation, no appointment can be made to that see. Mr. Montague Corry is to remain Mr. Disraeli's secretary in Opposition, and will devote himself to the work of Conservative and Church organisation. Our contemporary pays the highest compliment to Mr. C. W. Freemantle, who is now Master of the Mint and Mr. Corry. STATESMEN. The Pall Mall Gazette, being unsparing in its Driticism upon others, is of course severely treated when it is found tripping. In a recent article, the tea,ding Liberal members of the House of Commons who were candidates for place were set down as good clerks, but indifferent statesmen. For true states men we must look to the peers. Amongst them our contemporary mentioned Lord Granville, the Duke of Argyll, Lords Clarendon, Salisbury, . Cairns, Westbury, and Grey. The Spectator objects to some of these names as unsuitable for a Liberal Cabinet. It objects to Lords Salisbury and Cairns because they are Tories. Lord Grey is bitter against Mr. Gladstone, and never could act cordially with anyone. Lord Westbury never skewed a ray of political genius, though he is a great lawyer, and Lord Clarendon has made plenty of mistakes as Foreign Minister. We may add that there has never been any love lost, it is supposed, between Mr. Glad stone and Lord Westbury. Mr. Gladstone always had a respect for things ecclesiastical; Lord West bury never loses an opportunity of sneering at them, and upon one occasion drew upon himself the denun liations of the Bishop of Oxford. PROTECTION WANTED. A correspondent of the Daily News declares that many young men of Liberal opinions at Cheltenham either abstain from voting or vote on the other side. The reason is that nearly all their customers are Con- Bervatives, and that it is with them a question of life or death. One would have thought that men had learnt the folly and uselessness of making sham proselytes by putting in peril their lives or means of living. If history has not taught this much, it has been written to a great extent in vain. A shareholder of the P. and 0. Company learns with surprise that the managers have coerced the men under them. Ile speaks very strongly upon this abuse of power, which he calls a violation of every principle of moral right. Men in this position do a double wrong—a wrong to those whose property they administer, and a wrong to those who are under them. AN ARISTOCRATIC VICE. A letter appears in the Telegraph, signed by eight :enants of Colonel Gardner. At the late Windsor election these men all voted for the Liberal candi date, and by a cu r i ous co i nc id ence th e y h ave a ll of t hem received notice to quit, or to pay up arrears of rent within seven days, with the threat of execution as an alternative. There are other sufferers, who do not wish their nameS to be made public. One of the eight having been accused of disgraceful conduct. as the reason for his ejection, writes to deny that he ever insulted Colonel Gardner, and pertinently remarks that no Conservative has received any notice, while so many Liberals have. There is one instance of tyranny circumstantially stated in another letter. It appears that Colonel Gardner is going to present a petition against the return of his opponent, and to ask for a commission of inquiry into the mode of election at the Royal borough. He is a brave man. There is little doubt that many a man has been condemned in a criminal court on lea circumstantial evidence than that which ~ ~ ~ e br ou gnt rnivara against the ganant tOlollel to orove his tyranny. FOXIIIINTING. It will be remembered that Mr. Frewen, one or the candidates for North L e i ces t ers hi re (all the three candidates were Conservatives), wrote to the Duke of Rutland an ill-spelt and ill-tempered letter a the subject of foxhunting. Ile did not think.. Clowes had sufficient claims to represent sportsmen in Parliament. It is now said that Mr. Frewen has ordered Mr. Tailby,the master, to keep off his grounds. The Leicester Journal is horrified, and refuses to believe that "a family who have so many years been friends to foxhunting, should leave a blot on the family escutcheon which several generations will not get rid of." This sounds very solemn language for such a subject, but with certain people m Leicester shire foxhunting is the sole business of life, from which they derive both the pleasures of memory and hope, and the intense enjoyment of the present. Dr. Johnson once said foxhuntcrs were " a pack of fools run n i ng after a stir';. " We have no doubt the Leicestershire farmers would hold the lexicographer very ehe.in if this were told them. THE JAMAICA Q UESTION. Mr. .Charles Buxton, having b een c h arge d w i t h circulating privat e libels vgjinst Mr. Eyre, has at last published the document referred to, which was a defence drawn up by himself for the perusal of certain constituents. The etefence is v er y l eng th y and circumstantial, and the facts are verified by three barristers, who say the official documents fully sus tain the statements to which they are appended. A s we have repeatedly said, for all useful purposes th e question of the merits of the insurrection in Jamaica and its suppression is closed, and any reference to it now can only create ill-blood. At 97 L~ L THE METROPOLITAN BOARD. At a recent meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works, a member drew attention to a statement which had appeared in a newspaper, to the effect that when the Metropolitan Board borrows, sa3r £BOO,OOO, from the Bank of England, the Bank soli citors at once deduct £40,000 for their trouble, and the Metropolitan Board never recei ve the £BOO,OOO • for which they pay interest, but £40,000 leas that amount. The member of the board who brought up the subject did so b , the direction of the Marylebons Vestry. The chairman replied that the eha.rice was absurd, and he was surprised that the parish of Marylebone thought it worth while to ask such a question. The inhabitants of Marylebone are pro bably well acquainted with the action of the board, and it is significant that they should, as the chairman said, have thought it worth their while, Perhaps they have their reasons. THE WIGAN EXPLOSION. The Mayor of Wigan has presided over a meeting in the borough police-court, for the purpose of raising a fu n d f or th e su ff erers b y th e explosion. He said the calamity had left twenty widows and fifty-eight orphans. A subscription list was sent round, and, including the £250 from the proprietors, nearly £BOO was raised in the room, of which the representatives of the Wigan Coal and Iron Com pany gave £2OO. An appeal was also made to London, Liverpool, Manchester, and other great towns. Sufferers by these dreadful accidents never appeal in vain to the public for help. How is te that so little interest is shewn in the search of a remedy which might render such charity unnecessary r A LONDON MYSTERY. The Middlesex coroner has been holding an inquest on the body of a man found in the Thames. The evidence shewed a probability that the man had been murdered. The deceased was found lying at the bottom of Battlebridge stairs, Tooley-street, with his clothes wet. This was early on the Friday morn ing. The night before, his proceedings had been noticed by the police, and he appeared to be wander ing about in the public-houses drinking. The last seen of him was about midnight, when he was speaking to a young woman. It appears that the deceased wore - jewellery, and among other things a gold chain. This was gone when his body was found. He was watched by several policemen, who saw him followed by some orange girls, with whom he afterwards entered a public-house. The man was cautioned against his company, but it seems the caution did not save him, and in the early morn ing he was found dead. The proceedings have been adjourned, to give the police an opportunity of find ing the girls. London is infested by these sharks, most of them generally well known to the police and the publicans, and permitted to nrev ui,on the unwary. TRIAL BY JURY. A firm in Waterloo-place complains of the unJust manner in which the jurymen are chosen. They say they have been deprived of the services of the best man in their employ for nearly every day during a month past. They write to a contemporary : " Might not the service of one man be extended over four years—one week in each year—instead of four weeks at a stretch ? There must be many similarly situated to ourselves, and if you would do us the favour to inssert this letter, it may lead to some remedial suggestion acceptable to the authorities." The way in which jurymen are selected is a puzzle to most people. The summoning -officers seem to have an affection for particular names, numbers, and in dividuals, and when they get a man in harness they keep him to it. IN ME3IORIA3f. The Sacred Harmonic Society has just had a per formance at Exeter hall in memory of Rossini. The music chosen was Mozart's "Requiem" and Rossini's " Stabat Mater," the Dead March in " Saul " opening the concert. The performers, the conductor, and the majority of the audience wore mourning, as a tribute of respect, and a fine bust of Rossini was placed in front of the orchestra. Thus the nationality of the Italian maestro is absorbed in the genius which makes all lovers of art anxious to do him honour and claim him as their own. MAZZINL Alazzini is so tar recovered as to be able to write letters, and must, therefore, be deemed pretty well out of danger. He addresses the following from Lugano to a friend :—" have been seriously ill, and am still in such a state as to be only able to write to you these few words; but I am better, and I shall soon be convalescent.—. Towns." p ERMANY. " Herr Schneider," of the Fifth Vida Battery of the Prussian Guard Artillery, has died. This decease, which is advertised in the Vbsoleche Zcitung, is not thkt of a great general, nor an officer, nor even a soldier. "Herr Schneider" was a distinguished goat. He came into possession of the Fifth Battery during the war of 1864, and marched at its head throughout the terrible campaign of 1866. He received rations, regularly attended parade, and took his place amongst the non-com missioned officers. When hostilities commenced the favourite of the regiment was tied up to one of the ammu nition waggons and kept in the rear, but during the battle of Koniginhof, when the roar of cannon and discharges of small arms were at their highest, the military spirit of Herr Schneider broke out, and ho managed to slip away and go to the front at full gallop, the orderly following as fast as ho could in order to recover his charge. Just at that moment the Crown Prince met them, and inquired of the orderly what he was doing with the goat. On being informed of the state of affairs, his Royal Highness appeared much amused, and said, jocosely, "Let him go ; he has orders to attack the enemy, and will be in the mtlee before any of you." Herr Schneider returned to the ammunition waggon none the worse for his bravado. He had pre viously been made a sergeant by the soldiers, but after this exploit he was elevated to the dignity of sergeant major. He escaped all the dangers of the campaign unscathed, and marched at the head of the battery in the memorable triumphant entry of the army into Berlin in September. Count Bismarck has returned to Berlin and has com menced business by a long interview with the King. He has also paid several visits to the chief diplomatic notabilities. The Paris correspondent of the Indtpendance Betge says that the great Prussian statesman has obtained from the King promises of a conciliatory policy with respect to North Schleswig,. Count Bismarck wants to have done with Denmark. TIIE HUDSON'S BAY TERRITORY. The Canadian News announces that the Colonial Minister has sent an ultimatim to the Hudson's Bay Company, respecting the territory now under their con trol. The terms of this demand are supposed to be the same as those recently published by the same journal. The Company is to surrender to the Imperial Government all territorial rights of the entire property—retaining their existing trading posts, with a reasonable reservation of laud around each—and receiving in payment a small share of the proceeds of the land sales and a portion of the revenue derived by the Canadian Government from gold licenses. The mini mum price of the land is fixed at ls. per acre, out of which, and as realised, their proportion is to be paid. The share holders will be greatly disappointed at this result. They looked to receiving at least a million from the Govern• ment. FIJI. The only intelligence of regular and orderly proceedings from the obscure State of Fiji is that the King has paid the first instalment of the debt to the United States. All the rest is chaos. The islands are devastated by a w ar waged against the settlers, cruel atrocities being perpe- trated. The colonists are driven from their plantations and their buildings burnt. The British war steamer Challenger has destroyed a native village, killing 41 savages. The natives, it seems, are judicious in their cannibalism. They eat up a missionary and his wife, but preserve the children. Things do not look very promising for the irrepressible Briton in Fiji. The Australian Government has bought rights in the islands, and a thousand emigrants have settled there.
