THE MUTUAL SYSTEM HAS DESERV-
i eddy become the most popular mode of in
surance 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 purely mutual
company tn 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 for, and
they may be found eminently existing in well
conducted mutual. All 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.

Valuable Statistics.

Statistics are all the fashion, and the
following, furnished by a fgurist, are
very much so. They may be commend
ed "to keep in the cool:
Out of FIVE hundred persons only five
survive long enough to mind their own
business
Of every ten men in the street not
more than one has brains enough to
keep from standing gossipping directly
in the middle of the sidewalk or cross
ing.
Out of every twelve women one dozen
make themselves up to attract as much
attention as possible, and then pretend
to be angry if they get it.
Out Of one hundred persons about five
score don't behave as well as they re-
quire other people to do.
Out OF fifteen men in street passen-
ger railway car about one will, in riding
a mile, conduct himself all the way
just as he oughtto.
Out of large amount OF young peo'
pie who have never seen anything of life
or the world an equal number constantly
refer to their experience.
Out of eighty young women whose ex-
perieuce oflife is confined TO gossipping
and flirting with simpletons like them
selves, at parties, all except none are
generally of the opinion they have seen
an immense amount of humanity.
Out of several dozen people only q
limited number will not talk gossip OF
their friends, and then kindle up if they
hear it has been talked OF themselves.
There is only one drunkard to every
seventy-four persons; but the liquor
which the other seventy .three " chew,
up" daily would keep half dozen of
them drunk as peeps until the next
morning
Ont Of one hundred persons six reach
the age of sixty years, and of these five
generally behave so as to make their
friends wish they hadn't

Mountain Roy and Dexter.

Mr.. Mclaughlin, the trainer of Noun
tain Boy, believes that this horse is the
fastest trotter in the world. he is about
to be withdrawn from the turf for the
season, but we are authorized to state
that within the next two weeks he is
ready to trot Dexter, or any other horse,
without stakes, the money taken at the
track to be given to any charitable insti-
tutien that the owner may designate.
We presume that the object Of this
offer is to induce Mr.. Bonner to test the
speed of Dexter, in actual competition
with rival, as he has refused to trot him
for money.
The challenge is best three in five,
mile heats, in harness, within two
weeks from this day.
1t is worthy of note that Mountain Boy
is but a seven-year old colt, and of course
has not yet attained his maximum speed.
