the organization of the Company, is only IL ,6s9.
The disbursements of the Company for all purposes

the subject of dividends we quote as follows from
the Annual Report:
I" On the subject of dividends the Directors have
moved whigreat caution. At the first Annual Meet
ing no dividend was declared, because they believed
the best interests and welfare Of the Company dcta-
ted such policy, but the Board have great pleasure
in being able to declare dividend to life men,
bers of thirty per cent on the premiums paid in by
these who have renewed their Policies prior the
Monday of July. This dividend has been entered as
a credit the books of the Company to each member
who is entitled to it, and will be allowed on the pre-
MUM at the next annual renewal Or where tn e
whole premium has been paid in, cash in the next
nual settlement of premium. The Directors believe
that this method of paying dividends is for the best
interest of the members, and therefore trust 1t will
give general satisfaction for it will be Observed that
although dividend of thirty per cent is declared to
all those who entitled receive it, ageeably to
laws, yet it will affect the funds on hand, but will
merely lesson the actual receipts of the Company, for
the coming year, by that amount"
The Annual Report and the Bylaws of the Com
pany, with tables of rates. have been ordered to be
printed for distribution among the members.

THESE certainly great differences-and there
must be great differences in the sanitary condition Of
these Cities New Orleans. for example, in a series
of twenty years. has doubled the mortality of Boston
New York and Cincinnati have larger portion
than either Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore.
We can only here mention three essential diferen-
ces, in the condition of these cities.
LIST. Climate makes some difference-the Northern
attitudes, within the Temperate Zone, being ia
vorable to the longevity of the Anglo Saxon race.
Whether it is, would be TO other races, is dife-
rent question. Probably not.
I'd. The floating unacclimated population of New
York, Cincinnati, and New Orleans is much greater
than in Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and es-
peciay is it greater in New Orleans.
Sd. The cleanliness of Boston, Philadelphia and
Baltimore, is decGy greater, and their police
thorough and effective. Commercial Gazette.

FOURTH'OF JULY.

The Anniversary of American Independence was
celebrated in this place with Rfuch spirit and enthu-
sasm.
At sun rise Divine Service was performed in the
Presbyterian Church, and at ten o'clock procession
formed, and marched to the Commons Hall, where
the Declaration of Independence read by Mr.. w.
S. Mason, and an Grafton delivered by Henry
w. Miller, Esq.
The procession and the ceremonies of the day were
under the direction of Sion n. Rogers, Esq, Chief
Marshal, assisted by Messrs. ]. ]. Foreman Quentin
Busbee, David Hinton, and James Iredell. The
Ringgold Guards were out under the command Of
Capt. Stuart, and presented fine appearance.
The Music from Mr.. Scloman's Brass Band, was
excellent.
At four o'clock the children of the Baptist. Pres
byterian and Methodist Sunday Schools assembled al
the Presby terrain Church, where the audience was
addressed in an interesting manner by AdolPhus
Jones, Esq. There some four hundred children
in attendance, all showing by their happy faces how
much delighted they with the exercises of the
occasion. After the Address al the Church, the chill
dren, accompanied by their Teachers and friends, re.
paired places prepared for the occasion, parake
of coations which had been furnished by the mem.
bers of the respective Churches. We regard this as
one Of the best features of our Fourth of July cele
brations and we hope it may be long continued.
Before and after the Sunday School Address, the
Choir of the Presbyterian Church, assisted by some
from other Churches, and under the direction of Mr.
Petersila, executed several in most impress
sive manner.
At nigh, the Capitol Square illuminated, and
display Of Fire Works was made before the very
large assemblage in attendance. The day appeared
to pass off pleasantly to all, and accident of any
sort occurred.
We do not remember to have any former
occasion of the kind, large number of persons
from distance. Our country friends were here by
hundreds 1t is needless to assure them that our citi
zens were glad to see them. They always well
come to Raleigh.

ligious ed6ces in the country, lately destroyed

5. Or PHILADELPHIA. Our tables not complete
for Philadelphia but some idea of its mortality may
be gathered from two years:
Deaths. Population. Ratio.
In 1915 1854 100000 to Al
1910 4,6O0 100000 to AZ
The accuracy of this statement is doubtful, from
the difficulty of ascertaining the true population of
the city from that of the county. The mortality of
Philadelphia, however is probably little more than
that of Boston, about in As in a series of years.

Broken Bone Fever, an epidemic, and 50 of Old Age
6. Or CINCINNATI. No really correct returns have
been kept in Cincinnati but several years since
an ordinance required the sections to make returns
and in two three years tolerable degree of
racy was arrived at. The following results serve
merely to give general idea of variation of the health
of Cincinnati:
In 1888 (Cholera times) death to 81
1885 do to 81
1886 do to 40
lS47 | do to 80
This gives an average Of about to IS, and if we
take the twenty years from 1880 to 1850 inclusive
which includes Eve years of cholera, think tina
that is about the average. If we were 10 exclude
the cholera years. and take the range from 1920 to
1850, it would probably be in 40.
6. Or New ORLEANS. DR.. Barton of New Or.
leans has published elaborate report on the sani-
tary condition Of New Orleans. The following is
the range of the mortality of eight years. from Is41
to l949. inclusive:
Average population lOO,02s
Average deaths SLIT
Average ratio ol9
This is the result too after deducting reasonable
portion of the population for strangers In one oil
these years the mortality reduced to in 80, but
the other hand, there years in which the
mortality was great as to 10! In 1888, the prin-
cpal cholera year, New Orleans was more than de-
cmated In fact. the great mortality of New Orl-
cans is occasoned by pestences, the yellow fever,
cholera, &C., which sweep off tens of thousands be-
yond the common mortality of other cities.

a practised advocate. She did not make use of
notes, though she had numerous documents to
