Gambling ON the Rhine.

The bank at Ems has done roaring
business this season. So have the other
branches ofthe company establishment.
Before leaving the last Of the gambling
resorts intend to visit this year. | wish
10 give my readers the benefit OF some
rather curious and interesting informa-
ton that have obtained respecting the
history and operations of that company
to which / have so frequently in my
recent letters referred. The information
in question may be relied upon, for |
have it from the highest authority on the
subject The company was originally
founded on a capital Of 100000, in 1000
shares of l00f each. Shortly after it had
commenced operations the dividend paid
on this capital reached so extravagant
an amount that it was resolved by the
com mittee to give every holder OF lOOf
share five shares of l00t for his original
share, in order to spread the enormous
dividend over an amount of capital nom
inally five times greater than had been
subscribed. Two years later, the divi-
dend having reached colossa' proper
tons, another extension Of the value per
share took place, two Of the new 1907
shares being exchanged for five new ones
Of the same nominal value.
Thus the original 40, 900 shares at 1907.
were first converted into 10000 at l00f
-2.000,OO0f, and subsequently into
AZ, 900 at l0Of-4,500, 000f Since which
conversion the dividends have been as
follows 1858, 341 per cent; 1859, l6
per cent; 1860, y per cent; 1861, 47s
per cent; 1864, 20 per cent; 1865, 25f
per cent But as each original share
really represents l2f new shares upon
which these dividends have been paid,
TO get the real amount of interest re-
ceiyed by shareholders on their invest
meni you must multiply the dividends
by l2l, which will give you the aston
ishing results of 400 per cent in 1858,
and nearly GOO per cent in 1861 ] In
1865 the company only cleared about
300 per cent, poor things and last year
was q bad one, the war having greatly
interfered with the amount Of their
honest gains. 1861 has been, ] under
stand, brilliant season, by which /
should infer is meant profit Of at least
800 per cent don't suppose many of
the people who play know this, but it
would be just as well if they did. Of
course there are some who, knowing il,
will still play if they get the chance; all
one can say Of such benighted beings is,

THE MUTUAL SYSTEM HAS DESERV-
L edly become the most popular mode of in
surauca In the United States, and is the one
embraced by those best informed upon the sub
ject, and who appreciate and desire security,
perpetuity and economy. In a purely mutual
company the assured derives all the advantages
which can be realized from an insurance, and
at the lowest rates, or exact cost, paying no
tribute or profits to the proprietors or stock
holders for, perhaps, an inadequate capital or
security. Cheapness combined with security,
view. are the essential elements sought fer, and
they may be found eminently existing in well
conducted mutual. Al parties insuring in this
company become members of the company and
are directly interested in its success.

nation, whereby all real estate insurers can
save FIFTY per cent. of their insurance account.

nA-HoMEsTEADs ON SWAMP LANDS We
learn from the land officers 10 th,s civ that
the Comm ssioner Of he General Land Office
has issued Instructions which very materially
change the manner Of entering swamp lands
under the homestead and presumption laws
Heretofore to enter land selected as swamp
it was only nece ssary for the party applying
with two witnesses, to file affidavl,s that the
land claimed was not suhlec to overflow to
such al extent as 10 interfere with The oper
atoms of planting aud harvesting IL future,
under the late instructions, ia all cases Of
this kind, notice must be given TO all parties
IN interest-thoss reprepresen,ng the St te
as we'll AS to the party applying to entsr-to
appear at the local land Office aud presen.
testimony relative to the character OF the
lands applied for. When the testimony has
been taken, the local land officers will ap-
pend their decision, as to whether, according
to the testimony, the tracts in question, in
their smallest legal Subdivisions, are or are
not satisfactorily shown by The testimony ,c
be swamp, and forward the case, with al
papers pertaining thereto, to the Office at
Washington.
Under this ruling the trouble and expense
of entering swamp land is greatly Increased,
and the effect will doubtless be 70 deter set
tiers from entering this class Of lands.

@- ADVERTISING AGENTs.-We have no.
ticed lately that many Of our exchanges are
complaining that they have been swindled
BY advertising agen.s in New York, B1,t n,
and other cities, aud cali upon their hre,h-
rem OF the press 70 assist them in "passug
round the scoundrels.' If country newspa-
pers generally would be governed by the
rule we have adopted with reference to these
advertising qnacks, they would be saved the
trouble Of making these complaints, Our
rule is, when we open letter and tind'i, to
DO from one Of the " advertising sgency
gentry to chuck it in the stove or throw it
among the waste paper withoa, examining
its contents, and the consequence is we are
never swndled, or, what is worse, subjected
to the humilia,ing consciousness of having
given publicity to some unmitisated humbug,
bank in wheedling money firm he unwary
and credulous. There may be, aud doubtless
are, some honest advertising agents, bu, in
our experience in newspapering We have
failed..to make their acquaintance, hence our
rule is general and imrern'ivsly applied to
ell. The consequences are,-we contract no
bad debts. and our paper is not oecupied
with the lyng stat m"nts Of Especially doc
tors, vendors OF ''periodical pills. or the
astounding announcements Of madame Sc
and-so, astro!ogist.
By adopting aud adherirg to his rue, the
value of our paper as an adver;i>in. medium
is increased, which fact is kn..~n a i up
preciated by Our business men, .s orr large

and they will thereby not only ave H. M
