Mr.. Greeley's Life insured.

MANY years ago the Tri'sne Association
foreseeing the shock which Mr.. Greeley's death
would give the Tribune, insured his life to the
amount of Sl00 900, for the benefit OF the
stockholders in common. This life insurance
pelicy has been kept gnod, and will accrue To
the Tribune whenever its ilustrinus founder
breathes his last At the time of efecting the
insurance the fibune's stock was changing
hands at from S3. 500 te $4,000 a share, shew-
ing the total valuation of the institution to have
been from $3.50 600 to 100000. 100000
was then viewed as very moderate
estimate of the pecuiary loss which the fri-
bune would sustain in the death OF Horace
Greeley but the chances OF that dire calaml-
" 10 the Tribune seemed so remote that no
motion was made u increase the life Insurance
not even after the hundred shares which rep
resent the entire Tribune Association has risen
TO $40 900 each. Some of the Tribuae'S stock
was recently sold at a smaller figure, but the
stockholders still estimate the entire property
at round million.

hands engaged in cleaning of the engines.
Here it is that that portion Of the rolling
stock is kept; here all inconsiderable repairs
are done-such as do not require them to he
taken to pieces. In the machine, smith, and
car shops, are found quite force at work
rebuilding and retitting. In the latter shops
a number of new cars are in course of cree
ton, and in the paint shop, where the coach
finishing is done, an entirely new coach Is
being built. This coach will be furnished
with all the modern improvements, and for
beauty of finish and elegance has rarely, il
ever, been excclled in this country.
Mr. John Mcfarland IS master machinist,

A LAwYER-IIKE ANswER.-A prominent
lawyer was hailed while passing a jewelry
store by the proprietor, with: "Genersl,
come in here moment, we have something
for you to solve. If q man brings his watch
to be fixed, and it cost me ten cents to do it,
and l keep it a week, and charge him six dol
lars, what per cent. do ! make? We have
been figuring, and make it 900 per cent. and
have only got up to one dollar. How much
do you say it would he at six dollars ?"
"Well,o oreplied the General, Il do not Won
der at your perplcxity, for it is we'll known,
machine has demonstrated, that at certain
points in progressive numbers the law GO
ycrning them changes. In this case the law
would change, and long before it would
