Life Insurance is a matter demanding the at i.
tention Of ALL The most robust person in this
community may die to morrow, and leave a
family or friends exposed to pecuniary suffering
or loss. By the insurance of life alone can fam
lilies and creditors be secured beyond every con-
tingency. We extract the following from the
Cincinnati Gazette:
"w Persons going TO California can now
obtain insurance on their lives, with the Ken
lucky Mutual Life Insurance Company, upon
favorable terms. This Company, by strict
adherence to principles of prudence and justice,
has been very successful. 1t now numbers
nearly two thousand members. But few losses
have been experienced-and the Company,
aside from its ample capital, has abundant means
10 meet all liabilities. Therefore, those who in
sure with this Company, may do so in the full
assurance that if they die, their claims will be
promptly paid"
Chas. Cookery is the Agent and G. w. Scott
NJ. D., the Medical Examiner, of the above
named Company in this place.

HEALTH OF THE PREsIDENr.-The report has
for some time, been going the rounds of the pa
pers, that the health of the President had be-
come much impaired, since he assumed the
duties of his office.
This, the Washington Union Of the 22d inst,
pronouces entirely erroneous and remarks that
the general health of the President is much
improved, since he was inaugurated.

POST MASTER AT KEOKUK.

A meeting was held at Keokuk on the 9th
inst, to decide who should be Post Master, and
u. Il. Slower was CHI sen.-( Miners Express
True, as far as it gees-but the cream of the
joke is that after Mr.. Slower had been twice
chosen by the people, as we are informed, in
obedience to the stereotyped letter which has
been sent all over the State, calling upon The
people to choose their post masters, mot their

was appointed r. NJ. at Keokuk Can the Elk.
press explain 'the discrepancy !'-l Burlington
Telegraph.
To the simple question of the Telegraph we
have no answer, for the reason that we have
had no communications from Washington since
the event occurred. Without any explanation
of the matter. we should think that Slower was
entitled to the appointment. But as the meet
ing at which MIR. Slower was selected, was
called at a late date, it might be that, the ap-
pointment Of Col. Patterson, was fixed upon,
before the recommendation of MIR. Slower reach
ed Washington.
In this event, we cannot discover that any
blame could reasonably attach to any one.

LOUIS NAPOLEON's MISTRESS.

A foreign correspondent says
.Mrs. Howard, the English lady with whom
the Emperor has lived for ten or twelve years,
and with whom he has had children, is said to
be deeply indignant at his conduct. This lady
has the respect of the French people. for some
cause or other, and much sympathy is expressed
for her. The Emperor hesitated to inform her
Of his intentions towards the Spanish lady, and
remained away three days from her house, fear
ing her displeasure. On the day before the pub
lie announcement Of his marriage, he found it
necessary to visit her, to attempt an explanation
and reconciliation. She told him that if he mar
ried royal Princess, or some lady of high rank
from some Of the courts Of Europe, she would
not urge word of opposition; but he might
as well in the eyes of the world marry her as to
marry that Spanish putain.
The next day the Emperor sent her present
of one hundred thousand francs, but she return
ed il with note, saying ''that although she let
him have more money in London, at times when
he had'nt cent in his pocket, she had never
considered it as loan; and now that he got
rich she did nj thank him for his money. She
had as much as she wanted to live on"

Beneath this heap of dirt'tis said
The carcase lies of drunken Fred.
Reader, you need not softly tread
For Death SO well his shaft has sped,
He never more will raise his head.
They brought him here upon sled,
And laid him in this dirty bed.
No dust to dust o 'er lin was read
No farewell tear for him was shed l.;
For he an oduus life had led
Pure water seem d to be his dread;
On alcohol he slept and ted,
Prefering ii to meat or bread.
His nose turn blue, his eyes turn d red
Yet, for another glass he plead,
And guzzled on till he was dead.
Now, where his Rum burnt soul has fed
Is easily con jec tur-ed.
