CLAIRVOYANCE IN THE COT7O i MARKET.—One
day last week a well-known cotton speculator, finding
himself at a loss what to do as to selling or holding tot
ton at the present rates, and wishing, with his Lewd
caution, to act on the best information, bethought himself
of the many instances of wise foresight record. d in
the public journals, as manifested by the equally well-
known lady so eminently gifted with clairvoyance.
Quietly and softly did the cunning man wend his way
to the cunning woman. On introlucing himself
to the lady, he, with mercantile liberality, presented
her with more than her accustomed fee, and begged
of her to acquaint him with the price which Bowed
Georgia cotton, of fair quality, would bear at the expi-
ration of the current year, for to that epoch did his
speculative views extend. The lady. with that motif sty
which always attends real merit, at d which so well be-
comes her sex, at first excused herself, saying that she
knew nothing about cotton, and rater heard of Bowed
Georgia. But the ardent speculator was not to be so put
off in his suit, and, on redoubling his entreaties, he at last
prevailed on the lady to try her powers on th,! novel and
difficult question. She seated herself in her prophetic chair,
like the Pythoness of old. " Bring the board," she cried,
meaning the board which she uses in her vaticinations ;
" chalk on the board the price which the thing you talk
of brings in the market this day." The morel ant forth-
with chalked the figure 6 large and sixpence
being the value of Bowed Georgia, of Ilk quality,
last week. " Turn the board upside dowr ; rietis youj
will see the price which Bowed Georgia ct Ma, of f r
quality, will bear in the last week of the current
year." The delighted speculator

FALLACIOUS NOTIONS WITH RESPECT TO LIFE
Assuaaricn.—ln a recent number of our much-esteemed
contemporary the Builder we find the following startling
piece of intelligence:—

the 600 per cent. would have been divided among the
shareholders, the value of the policy remaining as at
first, without the slightest increase."
Now this is altogether erroneous. Al' proprietary
offices divide a considerib'e portion of their profits
among the policy-holders some as much as 801.
per cent. and policies in such off o a have had
bonusses declared upon them greater in amount
than were ever dt elated by a mutual office. It is per-
fectly true that the shareholders in some offices have
reaped enormous profits upon their investments, but not
improperly so. If the business transacted was great
and the deaths few, as on the other hand the very reverse
might have been the case, they but reaped a fair
profit upon the capital they have applied to
such great risks. In a mutual office it is perfectly true
that all the profits belong to the assured, but we could
name some mutual offices that expend more in manage-
ment than would pay all the directors and shareholders
in a proprietary company, giving both their full and
satisfactory quota of profit.— The Reporter.
