good health.
1t adds to the security given by the possession Of
property already acq uired by furnishing ready

needed.
1t contributes to longevity frequently, by giving
great relief from mental anxiety in time Of serious
sickness.
1t provides for the payment of just debts, the pay
ment Of which may now be cont ingent upon uncer-

An '.eadowm mt Poli'y'' will protect a family dur
ing heir dependent years, and furnish support for
the insured in old age should he live to be old.
An Investment Of sir cents day will insure man

The bank note companies have either COM

300 900 900 new legal tender notes authorized
by resolution Of Congress in February. The
whole, or nearly the whole Of the $500 900 900 Of
legal tender notes authorized in 1862 have been
printed and most of them are In circulation. No
contracts have yet been given out for the
$4O0 900 900 Of interest bearing legal tender.
At present the amount Of paper money produced
by the two companies is abaut $3.50 900 q day,
which is paid out by the department as fast az II
is received. AS the expenditures of government
are, according 20 the Committee of Ways and
Means, 81, SOC, 600 a day, and the receipts from
internal duties are as yet comparatively small, the
Treasury must be getting behind again with its
creditors, and no time should be lost In acting
upon the new financial laws of Congress II
seems likely that at least half the new issue Of
sl00 900 900 interest bearing legal tender win
have TO be paid ont before the end OF the fiscal
year---30th June next.
