ance with the prescriptions Of the charter. also
certify that have compared the list OF policies fur
nished me ,by the President as On the books OF the
Company with valuation tables sufficiently to test
the accuracy of the results given by the Secretary

correct That is say the present value of the fu
risk OF the office all outstanding policies on

premiums to lie paid on them is s43, IA.
The total value of policies tho holders OF which are
entitled to dividends is 80, 30 ,62.
And IL the surplus is correctly stated ut AL ,3la,
the difference between this and tie present value

after deductng 10 per cent of il for the relief fund
is the proper amount for dividend, to wit, s2iblo,a
The true principle Of dividend is to assign TO eacl
policy holder who has insured on the mutual plaf

MEssRs. BRIcHr AND FIrCH.-A letter from
Washington says:
Mr.. Trumbull called up the election cases
of Bright and Fitch yesterday, and the bo-
gus Senators had the assurance to rise and
say, while having heretofore VIGOROUSLY
used every art to effect delay, and having
been recently instrumental in carrying res
olution, allowing ninety days for taking ties
tmony, they were now ready to confront q
trial before the Senate. After the vote on Mr.
IIarlan's CAGE, it remains to be seen whether
the Democratic side of the Senate is reaCy t.
stusify itself, and to CARRY partizanship Sc
far rs to allow these men to hold seats tC
which they have no manner of claim. They
have sat here for four months, drawing pay
and exercising al the privileges of Senators
wthou; the first color Of legal claim, ans
this has not only been tolerated, but encour
aged by the dominant majority.

A CAPITAL SERMoN.-A writer in the
Sierra Citizen, under the title of "Young
Men and Tree Frogs" gives better lecture
on morality, and better essay on mental
philosophy, all in few lines than are some
times found in as many volumes ofstaudard
authors
"The tree frog acquires the color of what
ever it adheres to for a short time; if it is
found on oak, it will bear the color of that
tree; if on the sycamore, or cypress, it will
be whitish brown; and when it is found
on the growing corn, it is sure to be green.
Just so it is with young men their compan-
ions tell US what their own character is; if
they associate with the vulgar, the licentious
and the profane, then their hearts arealready
stained with their guilt and shame, and they
will themselves soon become like the vicious
The study of bad books, or the love of wick
ed companions, is the broadest and most
certain road to ruin that young men can
travel, and a few well-directed lessons in
either will lead them on step by step to the
gate of destruction. Our moral and physi-
cal laws show how important it is to have
proper association of every kind, especially
in youth"

MIND YOUR AITCHES.

Almost everybody knows G.. He is
a big, red.faced, fulfilled Englishman, good
natured withal, and one of the best-hearted
men in existence. He is very fond of liv-
ing, and no man is better Judge of 'alf.aud-
'alf, which is beverage he swears by.
But c. is unfortunate with his his ;
he never can put one where one is wanted,
but uses them literally where there is no
occasion for them. Many are the stories
current about this peculiarly Of C-'s,
and not a few of them have appeared in
print; but we have heard lately one that
has never had the honor Of types, to our
knowledge.
A good many years ago, c. used to
keep an eating-house. He was one of his
own best customers, and seldom went home
at night without taking his mug Of 'alfand,
'alf and something to eat. But the liked
his mince pie warm and one night he said
to his bar.boy, ''Take that pie, AIRY, and
20 and 'eat it, Harry looked surprised, but
not to slook a gift horse in the mouth obey.
ed the order without hesitation. In about
half an hour, says c., where's that pie,
'Arry?
dts all right replied Henry, I've ata
it, The deuce you have says C;
sand pray who told you to heat it? No'
body said Henry, 'and I didn't heat it,
.Why,' roared c., getting excited, Il
didn't tell you to heat the pie;I told you
to go and 'eat it, Well exclaimed Hen:
ry, Il know it, and I didn't heat the pie; 1
ate it cold.' This was too much for c.;
he came pretty near exploding, but finally
saw the point of the joke, acknowledged
the corn, took his 'alf-an-'alf, and ate his
pie without eating it, that night. But the
story somehow got out, and though many
years have elapsed since then, he has not
heard the last of it yet.

ASHARp BARGAIN.-It was hard to catch
sOld Jack Jones into place too tight for him
to get out. The following occurred recently
at Cedartown town Court. There had been a
hard frost the night before, and some of the
knowing opes prophesied an entire failure of
the wheat crop.
sI've got one hundred acres,' says Old
Jack, that I'll take one hundred dollars
for.
'Jack, I'll give it, and hand you the mon
ey in an hour said Michel.
Before the expiration of the hour, a negro
from the plantation reported the wheat unin-
iured, and Mitchell advanced money in
hand.
sThank you,' says Jones. When will you
take your wheat away?'
Take it away? Why as soon as it is
ripe
