Mr. Evarts on Insurance.

1,. JVhjen the Presidential party was in th® White moKtainAthey struck a Methodist camfMneetiffg, and immediately began to discuss the question who should speak and what he should say. 2. Naturally enough they called in our ascetic friend Col. George W. Hooper, of Brattleboro, Who was with the parfy, and whose piety is something appalling, 3. To a question of Secretary Evarts as to what denomination he was connected with, Col. Hooper replied: “Constitutionally I am a Congregationalist, but I pay my money to the Universalists.” - 4. “Ah,” said Mr. Evarts, “that will never do; you shouldn’t pay a premium where there are no losses.” The end.— Burlington Free.
