Since 1857 the Vicksburg Repmbti-

were shot or stabbed to death, one drown

one was sent to prison for libel, and one
died of yellow fever. There's nothing
like keeping up the tone of paper, re-
gardless of expense.

LdFE INsURANCE-The increased atten-
ton which life insurance is receiving at the
hands Of the public, is indicated by col
umns Of statistics. A few years ago life
insurance was but little known now it has
become household word and may claim
an important place among the benevolent
institutions of the day No man who has
a family depending upon his labors should
fail to protect it by a resort to this security.
For long tiTe single company uficed
for the demand now there are thirty, of
which one-half were organized last year.
This fact shows how rapidly the subject is
taking hold Of the public mind. 1t is
stated that the late Dean Richmond, Of
New York, had 100000 insured on his
life, while Daniel S. Dickinson, of that
State, had $4,000. These insurance
policies have several parallels on the ma
turing list, and we are informed that A. I.
Stewart, the great New York millionaire,
has policies for 100000 in various COM
panies. We also learn that distinguished
capitalist and railroad king, residing in
Albany, In that State has $4,000 IL
similar Insurance, which We believe 10 be
the largest amount on record. The pre-
miums paid by these men amount to
thousands Of dollars annually, but they
will come back with rich returns 10 their
heirs.
In various large cities there are policies
held by single individuals for even larger
amounts than these. These unsettled times
make life insurance investment one Of the
most iudicious that can be made. The re-
verses Of fortune which the war and its
concomitants have caused, have dashed to
the earth many well-founded provisions for
the future, but the young and middle aged
| have in life insurance an opportunity Of
supplying their place by setting apart a
mOdieum Of their yearly earnings II is a
cubjeci which should arrest the attention d
all. We understand that a company in this
city was chartered by the last Legislature
which will shortly 60 into operation, and
