Coop Thing ON INsURANcE.-A Cali,
fornia letter writer thus gives his ex,
perience of insurance:
Insurance is nice thing-a bcauti-
full system. | tried it once; insured n
vessel. She got knocked into smither-
Gems; had her repaired under the eye of
their agent. On settlement they treat
ed me to treatise on "jetsam," ''hot-
SAM" general average" navigation"
and several other sciences. A broker
rendered a beautiful document, all fig
ured over and ruled in red ink, and we
settled. They first charged ME what |
had paid for repairs, then charged it
back to the vessel-then charged the
vessel the difference between what she
then was and formerly was not-then
deducted what she ought to have been,
charged me back the insurance had
paid, and having, by some error, lit
tie balance in my favor, they gave that
to the broker for making out the pa
pers. Not being a scientific mathcma-
tician, / took the document home and
figured all day on it, and the result
stood thus: I had been allowed the priv
ilegc of repairing my own vessel at my
own cost-to pay two notes not halfI
due, and put $75 in broker Jones fob

4 HISTORIC RELIC RECOVERED.

/ Simultaneously with the evacuation
of Richmond by the Confederates, IN
1866. the copy Of the Virginia Bill OF
Rights, made from George Masons
original draft, disappeared from Its case
in the State library, and many mourned
this cherished relic of the Revolution
ary period as hopelessly lost. The 9th,
er daay, however, DR.. John P. Little, OF
Richmond, delivered it in perfect pres
eryation to the Governor, who had IL
replaced in the glass case so familiar
to the trequenters of the library, winch
was made for it years ago.
It seems that the doctor, on evacua-
ton day, took charge of it, in order
that it might not fall into hostile hands
During the administrations of Pierpont
and Wells he did not deem it proper
time to restore it, and since the election
of Gov. Walker has been prevented
from carrying out his intention OF so
doing until now.
DR.. Little has been absent from the
city great deal, and been quite an III

On the 18th of May, l776, the vir-
ginia Convention instructed lis dele
gates in Congress to vote for indepen-

of whose duties was to prepare pa

illustrious body in regard to the re-
quirements of the crisis.
On the 18th, George Mason was add
cd to the committee, and on the 9th
of the same month the immortal Bill of
Rights, written by him, was reported.
On the 18th of June it was unanimous
~ adopted without amendment.

Golconda of literary wealth:
We have just enough religion tc
make us hate, not enough to make us

How is it possible to expect mankind
to take advice when they will not take
warning?
" Apollo was held the god of physic
and sender of diseases. Both were then
and are now the same trade.

our devotion. J. il.
The stoical scheme of supplying our
wants by Topping off our desires, is
like cutting off our feet when we want

The reason why so few marriages

Mr.. Dawes said, in reply, that lie
could only give his private opinion on
the subject. AS the Law now stood, ii
was obvious that there must be a ses-
sion on the 4th of March. lie saw no
indication that that law would be re-
pealed, much to his own personal re-
greet. And ii Congress assembled ON
the ith of March, nc had no reasonable
expectation that il would adjourn be-
fore the middle of April or the first OF
May. lie should himself do all lac
could to have the session close in q
single day or in a single week but in
the light OF experience, he would
hazard the prophesy that If Congress,
met on the 18th OF March next, it would
not adjourn before the middle of April
or first OF May.
