Pink Labe, and Cork Branded "Kira have LL Whisky A. manufacturer of Alger° has received an order from a Paris commercial house for ono hundred dozen cotton handkerchiefs, on which are to be stamped the various episodes of the Pantin tragedy. Portraits of the murdered victims as they appeared lying in the zinc coffins at the Morgue, will adorn some of these handkerchiefs, whilst on others will be depicted Traupg mann in the act of leading Madame Kinck and the two youngest children from the cab to the place of their murder. He is represented as obligingly carrying the little girl. Trauppmann as he appeared in presence of the corpses will;decorate others. These lively sketches on cotton will be sold for sixpence. The hero of the murders, it appears, has a fancy for hard eggs, with which he is liberally supplied. He has been photographed on condi tion of his likeness not being sold in public. He merely wishes for a few copies to distribute amongst his private friends. On being lately asked how he met with the wound on his left cheek, he quiety replied, "It was whilst I was defending Madame Kinck from her husband;" which statement he made gravely, and evidently expected it would be credited. In truth, the non-discovery of Kinck pert allows him to continue this line of defence.

A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN tl UN CONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London, E.O. Established 1848. Branch Office-7, King•street, St : James's. The Directors of this • Comiany, in' deference to an ob jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i n; no event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will espe cially commend itself, being entirely free from all condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatever; while at the same time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid. bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually paid may bear to the whole number origi nally contracted to be paid. Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. The assured will thus always have the option of retain ng either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording t the duration of the Policy, such amounts being set forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company ou these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every Policy Issued on this plan will be with Out any conditions as to voyaeing, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual securities. _ _ . In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this class as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies sre held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeablo on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Peliciea._ The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215,000 a year. Its position is un questionable, and it obtains tho largest amount of now business of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary. G UARDIAN FIRE AND LIFE OFFICE.

Milburn, the well-known blind preacher, who lately lectured at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, has just arrived in America from a long visit to Europe, whether he went seeking aid from Graeffe, the noted oculist of Berlin. The operation be went through was successful only to a certain extent, but has not as yet at all' mproved the vision, Mr. Milburn still having only a vague impression of light, without being able to soo even the outlines of objects. Ile returns, however, in excellent health, proposing a winter's campaign among the Lyceums with " What a blind man saw in Paris," and " What blind man's experience was in searching for light," and hoping in the spring to go back for another, and, as he trusts, successful operation. His address for some little time will be at Jacksonville, Illinois. Advices from New York state that a movement is in agitation for the purchase of the telegraphic system by the Government. It would appear that the proposition has come from the principal telegraph company itself which is a further argument, if any were needed, that the companies on this aide have certainly sustained no damage by the new arrangements. The fact of the heavy advance that has taken place in the value of the shaies would be sufficient to convince us that the lines have been acquired on terms favourable to the original holders, and the American companies appear to be desirous of benefiting by the precedent set on this side. We do not mean to infer that the American companies were not justified in holding out for compensation for probably increased profits on the increase of business, and we believe that the return that will accrue to the Government will be fairly remunerative on the capital employed. There is a great difference, how ever, between the lines in the United States and the system here. One large company—the Western Union—haa bought up all the leading lines in the States as it was empowered to do by its charter, and the telegraphic com munication is virtually a monopoly on the other side of the Atlantic. Nevertheless the company appears to have done its work well, and to be free from imputation of negligence. At the same time, it is evident that this state of affairs can not be allowed to continue. It is scarcely credible that the communication of one State with another should be under the entire and almost irrespon sible control of the directors of a private company. Yet such is now the case, and the offer having come from the directors themselves the Government will do well to close with it if equitable terms can be arranged. Tho working of the lines in America is a matter of less difficulty than here, owing to the sparseness of the population in many parts of the Union. Thus, we find that while there are 52,099 miles of poles, there are only 104,584 miles of wire, and the stations number only 3,462. Again, in such a country as the United States, business must increase with unexampled rapidity, and this is an additional reason why the Government should at once seriously consider the question, as every delay will only cause the ultimate expen diture of a large sum of money, Tho same arguments tell in favour of the purchase cf the railroad system by the United States Government, but there appear practical difficulties in the way of such a step which are almost insuperable. In the first place, the Americans possess a railway system which in extent bids fair to rival that of the rest of the world. At the commencement of the current year, there were about 42,000 miles of railroad in the United States, while the mileage of all other carts of the world was estimated at 60,000 miles, and it is now asserted that before the close of the year, 50,000 miles of railroad will be open to the American public. As a matter of fact Maine is now building eight railroads. New Hamp shire, four ; Vermont, six ; Massachusetts, five ; Connecti• cut, seven ; New York, eleven ; New Jersey, seven ; Pennsylvania, thirty-two ; Delaware, five ; Maryland, seven; West Virginia, six; Ohio, twelve; Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan have each about the same number in progress ; lowa and Missouri are constructing twelve ; Wis consin is building six ;Minnesota, seven ; Nebraska, two or three; Kansas, nine; Arkansas, three; Texas, three or four; Louisiana, four ; Mississipi, three ; Ala bama, six; while in the Southern Atlantic States thero arc at least twenty great works on which progress is being made. The wonderful activity of the Americans in this particular is worthy of more than passing mention. There are probably at the present moment 300 separate lines in course of construction, the average length of which may be taken at not less than fifty miles. The magnitude of such a proceeding would probably deter the Government from buying up the system as has been mere than• once suggested; but it must not be forgotten that many of these lines are built in a temporary manner, and will not com pare in solidity of construction and durability with any in Europe. Tho death is announced of the sculptor Pierre Hebert, author of the well-known group of the Child and the Tortoise. The Duke of Cambridge arrived at Glocester House on Friday, from his official visit to Portsmouth Garrison. The navigation on the river for the small steamers was suspended for several hours on Saturday owing to the dense fog. A soldier just released from service at £chlestadt (Bas-Rhin) murdered, a few days back, a young married woman named Kohler by stabbing her repeatedly with a knife. Jealousy was the motive for the crime. The following gentlemen were on Friday elected fellows of Trinity College, Cambridge :—Butler, Bth classic, 1867 ; Daniell, sth classic, 1867 ; Christie, 4th wrangler, 1868 ; Rawlings, 3d classic, 1868. The " son of an illustrious duke" is to be brought forward as tho Comservative candidate for Norwich, provid ing the city is not disfranchised after the report of the Corn mission has beon considered. Evidence has been given before the Norwich Com mission on Saturday to the effect that Mr. Able, the horse dealer, who drove about for voters, did not bribe any voters. Sir Henry Stracy attended the court, and was to be exa mined. A miner named Halbeisen and his wife, living at Friossen (the Upper Rhine), have just boon arrested on the charge of strangling throe children the man had by a former wife, and then setting fire to their cottage fel conceal the crime. The President of the Poor-Law Board is now mak ing a personal inspection of the principal workhouses of this country. On Tuesday he was at Birmingham, Wed nesday and on Friday he occupied in visiting the various establishments in and near Manchester. The inquiry into the circumstances connected with the stranding of the ship Gallovidian was concluded in Glasgow on Friday. The justices held that there bad been some neglect of duty on the part of Captain Allan, and decided that his certificate should be suspended fur six months. The Pall Mall Gazette hears that the case of the unsuccessful candidates at the last examination for naval cadetships is being reconsidered by the Board of Admiralty. A memorial from their parents has been addressed to the Board, begging that the candidates may be allowed the second trial they were promised on their nomination. The John Bull hears from a correspondent, occu pying a high official position in the diocese of Exeter, that it is more than probable that the election of Dr. Temple to the See of Exeter will be opposed in the Chapter. In its editorial columns the same paper characterises the ap pointment as " monstrous," " an insult to the late venerated bishop and a cruel wrong to the diocese." A malicious act of rattening machinery has been perpetrated at Howden. Some persons placed two pieces of iron in the side valve or cylinder of the engine at the Flax Company's works. The engineer fortunately detected some obstruction in the machinery, and found the cause, or serious damage must have been done. A reward of £lO has been offered by Mr. Hind for the discovery of the offenders. Professor Boehm, one of the first physicians in Berlin, is said to be at the point of death. In performing a dissection a week ago in the presence of the students ho accidentally pricked his finger with the scalpel, and neg lected to cauterise the puncture. Two days after his hand swelled to an enormous size, and all the succours of art wore unavailing. A workman in the employ of Mr. Walker, lucifer match maker, Southwark, was on Friday mixing some phos phorus with other ingredients to form the composition in which the points of the snatches are dipped, when an ex plosion took place, and the blazing composition flew about the workshops, setting fire to 100 packages of splints, and burning the man so severely that ho was obliged to be taken to the hospital. Great preparations are being made at Chester to give eclat to the royal vial to the ancient city, - which will take place next week.
