Quits Business.

The stockholders of the Bankers AS
surance Society, organized at Chatta-
nooga a year ago to do business of a
life insurance company, met last week
and dissolved the association, deciding
to liquidate and quit business. The
reason given is that the last Legislature
required all insurance companies doing
business in the State to show on Jan. /,
1898, not only more policies than the
company has on its books, but to have
a reserve capital in excess of $50, 600.
All the company's risks were trans
ferred to another company.

value of gold deposited with the United
States assay office in this city during
the past year was S34, 1I2, 545, of which

eember. The aggregate number
of ounces of silver received at
the assay Office in 1897 was 6, 900, 923,
of which about 26O, 600 ounces were
received in December. There has been
a marked decreases in the receipts OF
the precious metals at New York assay
office of late. Supt Mason says that
this falling off is due in a large degree
to the fact that producers of gold are
disposed to have their metal refined as
near the source of production as posi-

War Vessei In 1864.
In view of the present uncertainty in
the public mind as to. the cause of the
destruction of the battleship Maine, the
following historical facts may be inter-
esting and instructive:
On August 9. 1864, several vessels at
City Point, near the headquarters of the
Army OF the Potomac, containing ord
nance stores and ammunition, were de-
stroyed by an explosion on one and much
other damage done to wharves and 9TH
er property-169 soldiers and other per-
sons being killed or wounded. Although
court of inquiry was promptly ap-
pointed by Gen. Grant, aud investi-
gated the matter, no particulars of the
cause were obtained by it.

Australian Manners.

Every Australian colony, however
strong it's aspirations to political indie
pendence, says E. l.. Godkin in the
March Atlantic, is influenced in what
may he called its manners by the moth
err country. Australia began it's political
life with as close an approach to an az
istocracy as new country can make, in
the shape Of the "squatters," most of
them capitalists or sciOnS of good fami-
lies from England. These men obtained
very large grants of land from the gov
eminent for sheep farming, which they
managed in the beginning with convicts
whom they hired from the state, and
whom they were permitted to fog in case
of misbehavior. Their life, in short, was
very nearly that Of the old cotton planter
in the South, with tho "patriarchal" elc-
ment wanting. The first work of the
new democracy was to overthrow them,
and take their large tracts of land away
from them. But it did not succeed, and
has not succeeded, in preventing the for
nation of an upper class of the 'English
gentleman" type. This is what the sue
cessful Australian still strives to be. He
does not become "a man of the people"
in our sense, and does not boast of his
humble origin and early struggles as
much as our millionaire is apt to do.
