Toriine Life Insurance

The following example Of one of the Ton
tine policies of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society, clearly illustrates the advantages of
that class of insurance:
Policy No. 4l756, for So, 500, was issued in
April 1869, to resident of Brooklyn, who was
at the time IS years of age. The gross pre-
MUM on the policy is S244 81. but the actual
payment made this year was $126.S4, little
more than half the original premium. By the
terms of the policy the prsmiums can, here
after, never be more tn lu $125Si on the cen
trary, they will be reduced still further by
annual dividends, which are likely to in-
crease from year TO year. The 1879 premium,
for example, will ION the basis of present
dividends) be reduced by dividend of ST. "a,
making the actual premium 500 30. This
makes total reduction of over " per cent for
next year, with prospect of re luction of
from IS to so per Cent. in subsequent years.
Those desiring Insurance. will do we'll to
apply to the agents of the Equitable, for
documents and information.

he opposed the silver bill. He, says:
1.-The Silver STATE has been misin-
fprmed / supported the silver bill as
originally passed in the House, and as

bill originally passed the House under
. suspension of the rules, and the Sen
ate amendments were c0ncurred in
under the operation Of the previous
question. and no amendments were 10

attitude on the silver bill 10 the SILVER
STATE was derived from what we be-
heved to Do IN authentic source. as We
Gan prove by a prominent Republican
OF this comfy who was present ut the
tame. We are now convinced that our 10.
tOrmant was mistaken, although he
claimed to be able to prove what he al

thought it highly improbable that a

would vote against measure of such
importance to the State. particularly AS
he desired to be reelected. knowing, AS
be certainly did know. that in the
event of his doing SO. he would lose
the respect and votes of his constitu-
cots; yet We were not prepared to say

From the Times-Review.
We heard the other evening local
ichthy ologist make the assertion that
such IA thing as u mountain trout WAS
never known to exist in the streams,
the waters OF which how into the
Columbia river. He said the small
fish which wire caught in the Owyhee
and its tributaries were nothing more
or less than young salmon trout. The
assertion struck US at first as absurd,
but the facts which he adduced in sup
port OF his theory. almost, If not quite,
convinced as of its truth. 1t is certain
that no spawn has been found at any
season of the Year in any OF the So
called mountain trout caught in Jack,
Taylor, DeFrees or other creeks how-
ing into Independence Valley. This of
itself Is conclusive proof that they do
not breed III their n alive waters. or at
least during the stage of exls;ance
when they III appearance resemble the
fish Of the Humboldt and Its tributa-
ries. At the proper season, plenty of
spawn is found in the fish caught 10
Maggie Greek. which flows Into the
Humboldt, but which heads within a
few miles of the source of the Owyhee.
Although imperceptible to the casual
observer, close examination indicates
a difference in the form of the heeds OF
the fishes of the two streams, and there
are other dissimiIarities which. when
carefully noted tend to confirm the
theory that the small fish of the Column
bia slope Is the juvenile portion of the
family OF Sea or Salmon trout.
