The Prce of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
12s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold
about .-10th dearer in Paris than in London.
rite course of exchange at New York on London for Dille at
60 days' sight is about On per cent. At this rate there la
no profit on the importation of gold from the United SUVA

man ; and if an angry individual ventures to assert that
you are not one, the answer is generally giren in the
shape of a blow or a still more ignominious kick ; 40 years

"gentleman" means ono who is perfect in manners,
