The GOLDEN AGE OF ENTERPRIsE.-Since
the creation of the world, no era has been so
distinguished for its valuable discoveries as
the NIAth century, and no people more EN-
terprising than those of America. Though
this is an age of magnificent projects, yet
many OF these projects, however, which have
for their immediate object the greatest bene-
fit of the human race, fail in accomplishing
the desired end. For instance, the labors OF
temperance lecturers, reformatories for ineb-
rates, philanthropists, &c, have had but little
success on the general mass of mankind. We
are in hopes, however, that at last we have the
right man in the right place. We refer to Mr..
Speer OF New Jersey, whose celebrated Sam
buci wine promises to supersede all the alco-
hollc poisons in the country. As a wine it is
healthy, innocent and delicious, without the
least danger of intoxication. We speak adj
vlsedly, having tried it ourselves. To persons
who are weak and sickly, the use of the Sam
buci wine will restore their health and strength
Physicians, clergymen and temperance advo-
Gates should encourage the use of the Sambu-
CT wine, and thus aid the cause of temperance
and moderation. We especially recommend
1t to families for its purity, exquisite flavor,
and healthy properties. Medical men certify
to its valuable medicinal powers. We under
stand that Mr.. Speer has been for years en-
gagged in preparing and periecting it, and that
1t requires four years process before it is fit
for the market.-lN. Y. Baptist.
Our druggists have procured some direct
from the vineyard. 1t is excellent for females
to use.

To IA. Editor Of the Press:

-. NJ" in an article in yesterdays Press,
giving the public few hints, on the compare
tive merits Of the different Life Insurance
Companies, does great injustice to the New
York Life, a company which has led the bust-
ness Of Life assurance in this country for the
last three years-by representing its annual
expenses to be 22-95 per cent. on its income
Now THE FACT is this-the last annual ofiic-
ial report OF the Insurance Commission (which
is the end OF all controversy on question of
this kind gises the total annual expenses on
the income Of the New York LIFE at al
per cent, and the mutual Benefit" IL. Ms
Co.. at 1913 per cent, and the number of pol
ices issued in the year by the former at $500,
and by the latter at ,I40, showing the num-
Der Of policies Issued by the New York Life
to be $50 more than was issued by j. Ms
Company in the same time. Now every one
at all conversant with the business of Life as
surance, is aware that the expenses to every
Life Co. on neic policies the first year will
average about hree-fold the annual expenses
thereafter. These consist of never less than
double commissions the first year to Agents,
medical examinations, including the rejected
as well as the accepted, &c, &c.
In consideration of this fact, even the ex-
penses oil 22ra5 per cent. which he erroneous
u ascribed to this Company, would not show
its success IN any way inferior TO his OWL
but when it is remembered that the number Of
ne,o policies by the New York Life was nearly
double that Of j. Ms Company, and that its
consequent annual expenses were only in
creased to little over 3 per cent. more than
his, the advantage in the item of expense is
found to be altogether on the side Of the New
York Life.
Another point. on which he justly claims
merit for his Company, is that it issues, the
present year, about 5000 ne,e policies. In
this connection the public are reminded that
the New York Life issued over $500 last
year, and that its issue the present year al
ready considerably exceeds 1000 - the last
number issued at this Agency being 2S,772.-
The representatives OF the New York Life
never allow themselves to disparaga othe.
Companies, but this much Ia demanded In de-
Tense oil one OF the most honorable iustitu-
lions of our land. In concluding, ]. N. says
"get possession Of the facts and Judge for
yourselves" That's so; FACTS say !, and not

TaE CAPTURE OF TIE CuEsApEAKE.

THE CAPTURE OF THE CHEsAPEAkEt-
The st. John Daily Globe says the Chesapeake
stopped on Tuesday morning at Grand Manau,
and about 10 o'clock the same evening stopped
GEAR Partridge Island, where the passengers
and crew were put on board pilot boat and
taken to st. John. The Globe says
"The Engineer was not landed with the rest
of the crew, but carried OIL to work the steam
err, noneof the party on board being acquainted
with machinery. Brainc said that he intended
to have brought two Engineers with him from
New York, but they got drunk and il was i'm
possible to get them on board. Capt. Wlllets
says that the parties generally were poorly
clad, and looked to be in straitened circum-
stances. He also says that he and his crew
were robbed of nearly everything they pos
sessed; the passage-money collected on The
voyage was taken from him. The Chesapeake
had very little coal, and a small amount OF
provisions. Braine said he would take the
steamer 10 Wilmington. There wss a report
that the Chesapeake had obtained coal from
schooner in the Bay, but all the evidence so
far as we could learn Is against this. 1t was
also said that several parties her belonging to
the Confederate States went off in the steamer
this morning. The whole thing was undoubt-
edly premeditated, rs Southern Americans
here have boosted during the past two or three
days, in our hearing, that something startling
would very soon take place, and this affair is
thought to be but the beginning of some COM
prehensive scheme, the special object Of which
is as yet mystery.

Among the business enterprises Of the city,
Harper & Smith, on Union street. They have
been in operation but a short time in this city,
but find their business increasing and Or
ders accumulating, so as to render it necessary
for them to get larger and more commedious
quarters. They have engaged, and will soon
occupy. part of the large building now being
fitted up by J. b. Winslow & Co., which will
give them an opportunity of extending their
business to any necessary extent.
The members of this firm have had long ex-
perlence in the business, are practical me-
chanics, and personally superintend and work
at their business. They have all the improved
and approved machinery that their constant
employment in the business has suggested to
them, and with their skill and industry in the
various departments, they are able to furnish
as good an article as can be bought elsewhere
at the lowest prices.
They are sending their work to all parts of
the state, in large lots, and they also get up
lasts to order TO meet the wants Of those who
have feet of peculiar shape or who require a
boot or shoe Of a little different model from
those usually worn. Those who have occasion
to purchase, either in single pairs or in large
lots, will find Messrs. Harper d Smith masters
of their business and fair-dealing, honorable
men. 1t is hoped Portland men, as well as
shoe manufacturers in other parts Of the
state, will encourage home industry so long
as they can purchase an article Of as good
model and material and as well made as can
be obtained in Massachusetts,.
