"THH PEORIA. The Peoria (Illinois)
Insurance Company has been thoroughly
tested and now bears the reputation of
being one Of the most substantial and re-
liable Companies in the great North
West. Many of the first citizens Of
Grand Haven, as well as those throughout
the State generally, have insured their
dwellings and places of business in the
Peoria, and find the Company always
prompt and strictly honorable in the fol-
fillment Of its engagements. Rev. s. 8.
Brown, who is the general agent Of our
Stale for the Company, is personally
known TO us. He has assiduously labor
ed, for number Of years, against most
fearful and unprincipled opposition to
sustain and elevate the character and in
terests Of the Peoria. The work has
been thoroughly done as the present high
and honorable position Of the Company
attests. Mr.. Brown is a man of candor
and reliability, and will promise no more
than will be performed. M. Geo. d.
Sanford is the local agent for this section
of our county. Citizens of the county,
and elsewhere, wishing to insure, will do
well to examine the advantages of the
Peoria Company before insuriug else
where.

Real solid, reliable insurance, that
stands the test Of, time and fire, is some
thing that is not always obtained when a
policy is paid for. That the Old Peoria
offers such an insurance is evident from
the manuer 10 which they have adjusted
and settled my claim for loss Of 81 900,
BY the FIRE, in this place. The Company
is doing a large business in Michigan, and
enters upon the present year better than
ever prepared for duty and with enlarged
facilities for the transaction Of business.

In the last volume of the "Old
Merchants of New York City," we
find the following notice of the rebel
Ambassador, Slidell: .,,+.r.
"His father, John Slidell, had
soap-factory in 1894, at No. so
Broadway. He lived at No. SO
Broadway, where his son John, the
future ex-senator, rebel Minister, etc,
was born. In the same neighbor-y
hood lived John Wilkes, who was q,
Notary Public in 1892; he had
several sons, the youngest Of whom,
Charles, is the celebrated Wilkes,
the hero of the capture of Mason and
Sidell. The son of one neighbor
became the captor of the son Of an
other. These boys-old boys they
are now, both being upwards Of sixty
fve-haye played together in their
early days, neither dreaming oftheir
future destiny, or how they would
afterwards meet. When John Sill
dell went on board the "San Jacin-
to-" and met Commodore Wilkes,
what curious sensations they must
both have felt. The old First
Ward" times, when as boys, they
went together, played together, and.
snow-balled each other. Slidell
served his time with his father, and
followed the same business with his
brother Thomas until Sl7, and after
this went into the mercantile bubi-
ness in South street, with james Nc
Crea, and was unfortunate in 1890.
1t was about this time he had a.
duel with, Stephen Price, manager Of
the Park Theatre. They fought in
the morning, and Slidell shot his an
tagonist, giving him a bad wound.
It was the failure of his firm and the
scandal, of his duel that determined
him to go to a new State where,
there was an opening. he pitched
upon New Orleans. t
Alexander Slidell, of the navy
who made a great noise, few years
ago, by hanging two men on board
his vessel, the "Somers," was a.
brother. One of the men happened
to be son of John G. Spencer, then
Secretary of War. Previous to this
his name had been changed to Mae
kenzie. He died come years ago.
John Slidell twas brought up to his
fathers trade of tallow-chandler, and
succeeded him init. This anecdote
is told of him: He travelled exten-.
sively in Europe. After his return
he met a Miss Fairlee, one of his old
acquaintance, and who was reported
''as very pretty and very witty"
He told her of many places he had
visited. "Did you go to Greece ;"
she asked. "No, why do you ask 7"
replied Slidell. "Oh, nothing, only
it would have been so natural that
you should have visited GREECE
to renew EARLY associations" He
had no more to say. .ur.r
