THE MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE CON-
PANY OF NEW YORK.-FrOm an Eastern
paper we extract the following account
of the origin and progress of this truly
wonderful Company: "Twenty-fve
years ago, IL hundred wealthy men in
the State of New York, who knew that
the stock companies were making enor-
nous profits from the business of issue
ing life policies, organized themselves
into company for their mutual pro-
lection, and to insure themselves. Each
of these men took policies of $1,000, and
issued circulars inviting other wealthy
men 10 join them. To insure the sue
cess of their plan, they must receive
large numbers of persons in order to Sc
cure the benefits of the average dura-
ton of life. They started without 4
dollar of capital, except what the orig
inal hundred paid in for premiums on
their policies of $1,000 each, and to-day
the result is before us, woRderfHl re-
suit. There is now over .tOrty-three thou
sand members of the Company, and a
cash capital of over t'centy-tro millions
Of dollars, all invested, rs required by
law, in bonds, mortgages, real estate,
New York State and United States
securities. If this Company should
close up its business to-day, every MEM
Der would receive back all the money
he has paid in, and over six per cent.
compound interest thereon" w. +.
PETERSON, office in Insurance Building,
adjoining Merchants National Bank, is
the agent in Wheeling for this unpar-
alleled Company.

MANY of our readers have had the
pleasure of seeing and hearing the cele,
brated DR.. Levi Bull, of whom the fol-
lowing incident is related, whether
founded on fact or not We cannot say :
A child was brought forward for bap-
tism, at one time, whose parents bore
the enphonious name of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frog.
Name this child" said the minister.
I'VE name it after you," said the
Amiable Mrs. Frog.
But" said Mr.. Bull, "you hare one
child called Levi, after me-"
YES" was the reply, but We call this
one after your 'tother name"
So after the baptism the fond parents
found to their dismay that they had
called their child Bull Frog.

AT No CosT.-What doleful sound do
these words convey to arrant auacks. who
make physic and cayenne pepper or turpen-
tine liniments for living. DR.. Wolcott. at
ITO Chatham square, and at So Winter street,
Boston, stops all pain at no cost. He con-
demus all pills, physic or medicines of any
kind taken in the stomach, and shows most
conclusively by his circular, that all who swal-
low medicine are always sick and complain
ing. He proves beyond all denial that all pain
can be removed by an application of Pain
Paint, whether the cause of pain be inside of
the body or on the surface. 1t certainly pro-
ceeds from Inflammation, and Pain Paint re-
moves Inflammation faster, cures permanent
ly. quicker, and is positively safer than any
other known remedy. 1t never smarts, leaves
no color, is the safest remedy for a small puny
infant or aged person that can be used. 1t in
vigorates the whole system, and cures the
most hopeless case of paralysis of the longest
standing. Relief comes at the very first ap.
plication. Druggists sell ten times more Paint
than any other remedy, at 25 cents, 80 cents,
ST. and IS bottle. DIR. Wolcott is also the
inventor of the only standard remedy for ca
tarrh and colds in the head, the Annihilator,
which has the written Endorsement of over
1000 physicians and chemists of New York
If remedy is of value let it be proved at
once. Turpentine and pepper liniments have
utterly failed, and very few fools are silly
enough to purchase healing liniment for the
purpose of stopping heat and inaamm alton.
DR.. Wolcott has offered the manufacturers of
these worthless nostrums, CT past age, 500,
if they will prove in public that they can re-
move pain for ten persons in 100 who apply;
81 900 more if they will produce a remedy that
removes all pain as soon and is harmless as
Pain Paint. The people pause for an answer.
Pain Paint is sold at all drug stores at rs
cents, 80 cents, and full pints 81. 1914

A New Hxcusc for Republication.

The Sunday Advertiser gives new reason
for regulating the public debt, to wit, that the
revenues of our municipal, State and national
governments are inadequate, while the bur-
den of taxation is uncomfortable; in short that
the nation is hopelessly bankrupt and cannot
pay its debts. People who talk of reducing the
taxes and at the same time paying the public
debt, are inconsistent" and "this inconsistency
proceeds from ignorance and cowardice COM
bined." This kind of talk does very we'll SO
long as the utterer is careful not to give his
reasons; when he attempts to proUe such as
sertions, he is at the mercy of well informed
men everywhere. Mere assertion and denial
have equal weight, and might be continued od
minimum. but an appeal to facts is conclusive
and final. The only exact statement viii CHI
the Advertiser ventures in support of its
sweeping allegation, is this:
. Our Federal governments expenditures are
35OOOO, 600 per annum, while its income is
but 10000 900, showing deficit of one hun
dred millions a yedri
We take issue here. We assert that this
sole foundation of the Advertisers argument
is rotten, that the income of the government
almost doubles the Advertisers figures and en-
ceeds the expenditures by nearly $50 millions,
and in proof of this assertion we appeal to the
statement of the receipts and expenditures of
the United States during the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1867, appended to the report of
the Secretary of the Treasury. The following
are the figures:

HERALD NoNsENsE.-The New York Her.
AIDS Washington special of Monday says there
are several highly important cases about to
come before the Supreme Court of the United
States. each of which will test the constitu-
tionality of the reconstruction acts. One case,
the trial of which is expected to begin very
shortly, will decide the question as to whether
Virginia is in or out of the Union. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY believed that the decision of the court
will be that Virginia is not now and has never
been out OF the Union, in which case the stu
alton i'll the Southern States will be materially
changed. The President, it is said, will then
instruct the Military District Commanders to
act in strict accordance with the decision of
the highest. tribunal of the nation and per-
init the civil government s to resume their func-
tons untrampled by the military power. 1t
is the belief OF p ointment Senator here that
majority of the Judges of the Supreme Court
when the McArcle case comes up will decide
tibet the reconstruction acts are unconstitu-
tional; that Chief justice Chase will deliver
the minority report and make the most of the
opportunity to champion the acts and identify
himself more earnestly with the radical party
north and south. If the bottom should thus
fall out of the scheme of Africanizing the
Southern States it is believed that Gen. Grant
will reject any nomination coming from the
Republican party.

DECIDEDLY CooI.-Mr. Joseph Powers was
called upon at his residence in Roxbury, Mas
sachusetts, Saturday, by man, and was IA
miliarly greeted with "How are you, JOSEPH?
Pm glad to see you." Joe didn't seem to rec
ognize the caller, and wassnformed, what!
don't know who l am? Forgotten me? Why,
I'm McDevitt from Rhode Island; knew you
seventeen years ago" McDevitt was received
by Mr.. Powers into his house in his usual
courteous manner, given seat and permitted
to explain the occasion of his visit. During
the conversation McDevitt suggested that for
"Auld Lang Syne" sake they drink, in kind
remembrance of other days, little ale. Mr..
Powers accordingly went out for the ale, and
while absent, McDevitt, who knew his old
friend so very well, introduced himself to the
bureau, and accommodated himself by appro-
priating S197 which he found in Mrs. Powers
muff that was within its box. The theft COM
mltted, the muff. box, bureau drawer and all
were replaced in their previous order, and
when Mr.. Powers returned nothing appeared
to excite any suspicion. The ale was drank,
and many words of pleasantly passed between
the two. McDevitt at last took leave of his
"old friend" expressing much qualification in
having again met Joseph. But our readers
must imagine the "feelinks" of Mr.. and Mrs.
Powers when they found that that visit had
cost them nearly 5000 ale thrown in.

THE PRESIDENT AS JoKER-The following
is good deal funnier than the Presidents
Hancock Message. 1t is an account of the
manner in which Mr.. johnson is obliged to
extinguish SO many aspirants for office:
The interlocutors are Mr.. johnson, q young
gentleman who desires to travel at his coun-
try's expense, and an influential friend. The
latter, after few compliments to the Presi-
dent remarks:
"Mr President, this is young gentleman
who desires you to give him something abroad
for a few years. He considers himself a good
representative of the conservative people of
New Jersey, who have a majority in that lit
tie State of seventeen thousand"
To which the President-"He certainly
comes well recommended"
Influential gentleman smiling hopefully
Eyes, sir; that seventeen thousand is q good
recommendation"
The Presdent-"It is fine recommendation,
but think we ought not to reduce that sew
enteen thousand majority by sending the
young gentleman away. He is more useful in
New jersey than abroad"
The influential party and the young gentle
man with foreign tastes smile grimly and de-
part.

A GENEROUS AcT.-In this world where self
interest and ambition SO largely control the ac-
lions of men, nothing is more gratifying than
the occasional acts of generous kindness which
stand like green GASES in the desert of human
selfishness. Of this character was an incident
which occurred last Saturday evening.
Mr.. J. M. Ellingwood, residing at Cape Eliz-
beth Point, went to Panama some six months
since to work for the Panama Railroad Com
pany. In few weeks he was attacked with
that foe of all white men, the Panama fever,
and after weeks of suffering in the miserable
barracks and in the hospital, he at last return
ed home shattered and broken, and seemingly
on the very brink of the grave. In these cir
cumstanees the present hard times have press
ed on him and his worthy family with no gen.
tie hand. On Saturday evening the friends of
Mr.. Ellingwood, residing at the Point, assem-
bled at his house in considerable numbers and
after pleasantly spent evening retired, leav-
ing him the surprised recipient of over $40 in
greenbacks and family stores. Such generous
care should not go unnoticed, and we take
great pleasure in giving it this public mention.

The Fenian outrages in England and Ire
land are becoming absolutely fearful. They
are seemingly but i'll adapted to effect any
good object, being OF SO atrocious nature as
to alarm and disgust many who would other
wise partially sympathze in the movement.
The blowing up of jails at Clerkenwell and
Millbank, the enclosing of explosives in letters
for the purpose of blowing up post office Off
Gals and the use of Greek fire for the destruc-
ton of public buildings are all of them meas
ures of people who feel that they have moth
ing to lose and are, therefore, perfectly reck-
less. Dispatches from London, received at
noon on Saturday, give an account of some
proceedings that have not been described in
our Geographic columns About midnight,
on Friday, large body of men with blacken-
ed faces stormed the Martello Tower near
Cork The guard of the tower was overcome
and scattered, aud the victors hastily collected
together considerable quantity of arms and
ammunition and escaped with it without mo.
lestatiou.
The extraordinary powers for the suppress
sion of Feniansm which, according to this
mornings dispatches, Parliament proposes to
grant, will have to be used with extreme eau
ton, for the Extraordinary powers" exercised
at Manchester on the 23d of November are the
very occasion of the appalling outrages which
have since occurred. To disinterested observ-
ers an easier method would seem to be a re-
moval of the wrongs of which Ireland SO justly
complains. The Irish agitations are beginning
to assume character so much resembling the
preliminary movements of the French Revou-
ton that active measures must soon be taken
to prevent an effusion of blood as great as &C.
