LIFE ASSURANCE.

Nothing in this day aud generation
more clearly marks the intelligent
progress of the American people than
the increasing development of dispo-
sition on the part of the heads of fam
lilies to provide by the most rational
and legitimate means for the support
of those who they are bound to nour-
ish, cherish and protect, and toward
whom their duty as regards protection
and provision is of a character which
renders a neglect to use all honorable
means to that end inexcusable, if not
indeed criminal. This means we
hardly need to state is life assurance,
concerning which Bonjaurin Franklin,
the philosopher of common sense,
wrote in 1769: ga policy of Life
Assurance is the cheapest and safest
mode of making a certain provision
for ones family. 1t is time our peo-
pie understood and practiced more
generally life assurance. Many q
widow and orphan have had great
reason to be greatful that the advan-
tage Of life assurance was understood
and embraced by the husband and
father" Lord Lyndhurst, lately Lord
Chancellor of England, declared from
the woolsack: ga policy of life assu-
urance is always an evidence of pru-
dent forethought; no man with de-
pendant family is free from reprOach if
not insured" and the eminent men,
statesmen, philosophers, divines, phi
lanthropists, fnanciers of this, as of
all enlightened nations, by precept
and example sanction and recommend.
The various and unforeseen ADVERSE
tics incident to business life, not to
mention the contingencies of sickness,
and the "slings and arrows of outra-
geous fortune" common to the lot of
frail humanity in every sphere, adj
monish us of the wisdom of tempo
raj assurance based upon a founda-
ton surer by far than any of these Of
ford. Results indeed seem strange
and unnatural, but "facts are stub
born things" even though they may
not be altogether pleasant. Said Gen.
Dearborn, of Boston, in public adj
dresss "After an extensive acquaint-
"afoe with business men, / am salts
''6ed that among one hundred mer-
"chants and traders not more than
''three ever acquire independence"
Thus much for life assurance in
general. The design Of this notice
however is to call particular attention
TO the EauITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE So

TIE EVENING STAR.


This new river steamer built here
during the past winter by Messrs.
KIRBY & TRIP for the Bay City route
made her trial trip on Monday last,
taking out for free ride to the Bay
and back, some five hundred passen-
gers. She is an elegant craft, handles
admirably, her machinery works to a
charm, and the beauty of her model,
the symmetry Of her proportions, her
fine finish, and the ease and grace of
her delicately curved water lines are
the odmiration of all beholders. Her
dimensions are
Length, over all -------- lSO feet
Beam ------- "a 90 in
Depth of Hold --- 8
Guards amidships- 10
Making breadth of beam over all, A
feet 6 inches.
She has a slightly hollow water line
forward and aft; round stern, inches
dead rise from keel to bilge, has ii
feet of dead wood in stem and stern,
is supported by two substantial trusses
below decks running nearly her entire
length, and stayed additionally by iron
rods running from keel posts near
each end, those are stepped 40 feet
from stem and stern, and the rods,
three in number from each, fastened
in dead woods, one forward, one aft,
and four amidshIps, thus all the
requisite strength is given for lake as
well as river navigation should she
ever be required for the latter purpose,
her frames, stays, braces and fastenings
throughout are the same as those of
first class lake craft. Her measure
ment, old custom-house method, is
81 tons.
Her propelling power consists of
the powerful low pressure engine
which has driven the steamer Ruby so
well and so rapidly for many year,
to which steam is supplied by the
same boiler though greatly improved.
The cylinder is $50 inch BORE feet
stroke. Diameter of wheel, "a feet,
Z foot face with three Aanges, and
double iron trimmed; buckets 20 inches
broad.
Her arrangement and finish above
the main deck is much like that of
the steamer Reindeer, afording every
facility for comfort and enjoyment
The new craft being considerably
larger than the REINDEER, her capacity
for,carrying passengers may safely be
put down at $50.

YosT's HAIR RESTORATIVE!

1t is Of no use to attempt to conceal
the fact that Yosr's HAIR RESTORATIVE is the
best thing for the human hair yet presented to
tho public. Taking precedence of all other
preparations, it cleans the scalp, cools the head,
and restores the hair to its original color. 1t pro-
duces fine glossy soilness, prevents its falling
out, and restores it whore it has fallen out Ladies
can find nothing equal to it. As a hair dressing
it is truly wonderful in all its properties.

THE OPERA.-The opera of "L'Africaine"
was produced on Saturday night to the largest
and most brilliant audience ever assembled in
Growers Theater. The aisles We're crowded
from the stage to the entrance, and hundreds
turned away, unable TO even sec ure standing
room within the building. The honors of the
evening were divided between .Zu cchi, Mazzo-
leni, Bellini and Bossissio. The finale OF the
first act was unquestionably one of the princi-
pal gems of the evening. In the second act there
is grand septette, originally written for six
harps. Apiano, with harp pedal attached, was
an admirable Institute. The ship scene in the
third act was handsomely mounted. and the en-
tire act was well produced. The mutny or cap
ture on board the ship elected great applause
Zucchl was glorious throughout. We think
II scarcely possible that any Drima donna could
have performed the role more creditabIy. No
one we have seen or heard possesses to such a
remarkable extent the capacity for expressing

The Strong Divorce Case.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3l.-The Strong divorce
case, which has occupied the attention of the
court Tor over five weeks, and so largely filled
the columns Of the papers here, was, on Fri
DAY, after charge from Judge Garvin, given
10 the jury, who, up to 10 O'Clock on Saturday
night, had not agreed upon a verdict. The
parties to the suit are Mr.. Peter Remsen
Strong, plaintiff, and Mrs. Mary Stevens
Strong, defendant Mr.. Strong prays for a
divorce, charging that his wife, at sundry
times, violated her marriage VOW with her
brother in law, Edward N. Strong, and she,
in defending herself, denies the fact, but claim
ing that even If ii was true, her husband had
forgiven her and lived with her, while as a
matter Of law and equity, he was equally
self open to similar charges.
The main source of trouble seems to be the
custody OF the two Strong children, one of
whom is at present with her father, the other
having been taken away by her mother sew
eral months since, in defiance of a writ issued
by the Supreme Court Mrs. Strongs absence
is thus accounted for, and her father, Mr. Ste
yens, communicates with her only through
her counsel, so that he can, with absolute
truth, say that he knows nothing of her where
abouts. The relatives on either side are great
ly interested in the matter, and testify with
great readiness on points involving half the
crimes mentioned in the decalogue, revealing
a state Of morals quite undreamed-o of by the
uninitiated in the mysteries and miseries OF
fashionable life.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The Jury in the Strong
divorce case were discharged yesterday morn

Peonage in Mexico.
MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT JOHNSON on
SI-RIErr

MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT JOHNSON on THE
SUBJECT
In answer TO resolution of the House of
Representatives OF the 18th of December, re-
guessing information relative to a so-called
decree concerning the re-establishment of
slavery or peonage in the republic of Mexic o.
the President has transmitted to Congress q
report from the Secretary OF State, the opinion
of the Attorney General, and other documents
on the subject. The papers include CORES
pOndence between Secretary Seward and Mr.
COTwIn, Senior Romero, the Mexican Minister
and Mr. BgelOw, at Paris. Mr.. Corwin, the
American Minister AT Mexico, under date of
September 10th, 1S65, first notifies the State De-
partment OF the PRONUNCIATION of Maximilian's
''Immigration" or peOnage decree. This SUBJ
ject was at once referred 10 the Attorney Gen
eTal for his opinion, and who in his reply
after citing the provisions OF the decreee, ar
gued that IT constituted a law (which deprives
working men of rights which we in this coun-
try regard, and which in every well-organiZed
community should be regarded as estimable,
inalienable, and understandable, and certainly
makes them slaves" Senior Romero, the
Mexican Minister, also laid the subject before
the State Department. and the DEGREES, with
the opinion of the Attorney General was sent
to the French Government, the Secretary of
State informing the Mexican Minister, that the
DEGREES had received the consideration of the
Department, and that measures had been
adopted which was deemed proper TO meet the
exigencies which they present
