TENTH ANNUAL REPORT CT THE NORTH CAROLINA MUTUAL
TIFE NsR aNcE COMPANY IncOrpOr0tcd January, 1859.
Raleigh Holden & Wilson, Standard Office, 1902
We have before us the above report of very worthy
and well managed Institution. The pamphlet furnishes
all necessary information upon the subject Of Life lnsu
RANGES generally and upon such assurances by this Com
pany in particular.
We have been gancin@ over the statements OF the re-
port and one table has arrested our attention tending
to Illustrate afford example Of state OF things
which we have been frequently led to remark of late
days Tic great increase Of pulmonic Affections and
also the growing frequency Of paralysis and apopcNy
OF the white persons insured by the Company there
were six WHO died during The last year. and of these six
four died of consumption Of paralysis and the 9TH
or Of apoplcNy.
Ont of twenty coore deaths four only classed as
consumption, but five others are put down as pulmo-
nary disease" bronchial Affection " inflammation of
lungs" billions pneumonia, typhoid pneumonia, y
and sixth is simply pneumonia, thus showing that
the diseases of large proportion even of the slaves
were more less connected with the respiratory organs
Why apopcxy and paralysis should increase we can
hardly understand, any than can the apparent
prevalence of pulmonary diseases in mild climate like
that of North Carolina. Some people fond of at
trbutng such things to styclninc, but unfortunately
for their theory cases of paralysis and apopexy are quite
as frequent among women who never taste whiskey as
among men who do and little if anything more common
among men who indulge, than among the most abst
| nent.
1t might be we'll worthy the attention of our medical
profession to investigate the for the apparent in
crease and Development of certain types of disease
None of the causes yet assigned appear sufficient to
| count for such increase.

The Mails from Baltimore,

We do not know why it is, OR how happens, but it
does happen that letters and papers from Baltimore ar
rive here slowly and irregulary than from any
other prominent point
gentleman whose position renders it incumbent upon
him to pay attention to these things called attention
recently to the fact that letters from New York arrived
here day sooner than letters from Baltimore, although
there is fully the difference of mail in distance in favor
of Baltimore. We know ourselves that recently our
Baltimore exchanges have arrived quite irreguarly-
seldom up date and frequently two three at time
Where the difficulty lies we cannot say-not at the
Wilmington Post Office we feel certain. Our object is
to call attention to it, that coming under the notice
of the proper parties the evil may be remedied.

The old days of military chieftainhood are returning
to Europe, when the monarch instead of being the head
