are in great abundance, and every freedman
is bis own bnseac. This is great indhce-

thousands who complain they cannot get work

TEUTONIC ANGUISH.

We all remember that a steamer, the Lady
Elgin was some time ago lost .on trip from
Chicago to Milwaukee, and about three hundred
persons on board were drowned. The first le-
port was that all had perished but several es-
capped, and returned to their homes after an ab
seuce of from one to three days There lived
at Milwaukee at that time burly German,
named Trheister Dotswinger, who rejoiced III "a

PURELY MUTUAL.
ANNUAL CASH DIVIDENDS.


At the request of their numerous Policy holders,
this Society have determined to declare their divi
dends annually in cash. The first dividend will be.
declared Feb |, 1867 The last dividend declared
the quiuqucnuial plan reduced the premiums in
some cases more than 5Oper cent, doubled the
Policy during the next dividend period. 1t is be-
leved for the future that company in this coun-
try will be able to present greater advantages in its
dividends to perSOds assuring than this Society,
total expenditure to cash premium received was,
by the last New York Insurance Report, less than
that OF any of the older American Lille Insurance
companies.
The officers of this society desire TO present TO
the pdblic for their consideration five modes OF di-
vidiug surplus premiums or prohts some of which
were never before granted Policy holders by any
Life Company and present advantages obvious TO ALL
LIST. The dividends may be applied TO the puTm
chase of additional assurance for a.term of years.
I'd. Dividends may be applied to reduce the pre-
MUM coming due next. At the last dividend, upon
Il similar plan, premiums were reduced one-h''lf up
on some policies.
ID. The dividend may be applied to provide for
the payment of premiums ut the latter end of life
so that the assured may be guaranteed against fur
thcr payments on attaining certain age, each sue
cessive dividend gradually reducing the time during
which the premiums must continue to be paid, so
that At last with the same success as heretofore,
paid up policy will be secured by quite moderate
number of premiums. To iustrale-A man. asSur-
ing - wears old would, the basis of our last
dividend, be secured by this application of dividend
against any payment after 4J-and probably at an
earlier age-aud thereafter receive an annual dIVl'
dcnd in cash.
ilh. Dividends may be applied TO the purchase OF
81 certain addition to the policy payable with it.
9TH. Dividends be arrlied1o the reduction OF
all future premiums during the continuance OF the
policy.
Hereafter dividends the first annual premium
may hc used cash in the payment of the second
annual premium, and so thereafter. the dividend
on each premium may be applied to the payment OF
inc next succeeding premium. Policy-holders In
most other companies must wait fonr or five years
before any advantage can be derived from dividends.
