Policies Issued as Good as
amy United States Bonds.
Policies Valuable in Life as well
as at Death!


The Brooklyn Life is the only Company in
the country which guarantees a definite sur
render-value to every policy on which two or
more annual premiums have been paid; this
amount, in dollars and cents, is indorsed on
every policy issued. Should any policy holder
become unable to pay his premiums, he can
thus know the cash worth of the policy at
any time after two annual premiums have
been paid.
This certainly is the greatest Inducement
and most tangible advantage ever accorded
to parties insuring their lives.
Dividends annually latter second Year, in
cash.
Dividends are divided on the Contribution Plan
the only equitable manner of dividing the earnings
of Lite Insurance Company. The Contribution
Plan was first conceived by Mr.. D. P. Fackler, now
Actuary OF this Company, and has been adopted by
most of the best managed Life Companies in this
country.
The Brooklyn Life has paid and now paws
to It's Policy holders larger Dividends than
ever before paid by Life Insurance Compa-
ny!
The BROOKLYN LIFE, unlike some of
the so-called Mutuals, pays no percentages or
largesses to either Directors or officers; neith-
er can it afford to spend thousands upon
thousands of dollars, belonging properly to
the Policy-holders, in misrepresenting and
advertising false statements concerning other
corporations, as is now being done by certain
so-called Mutuals. The management of the
BROOKLYN LIFE is open, candid, econom-
lcal, and prudent; no one man p0loer, as in
the so-caled Mutuals, but closely scrutinized
by careful, experienced, and reputable busi-
ness gentlemen, who have received but an
equitable interest on their capital invested.
By its care, skill, prudence, and economy the
BROOKLYN LIFE, as Mixed Company
has fully exemplifed the words of the Hon.
William Barnes, Insurance Superintendent of
the State of New York, who sustains it in his
Report for 1868 in the following language, to
wit:
'sIt does not always follow, as Is
sometimes supposed, that a purely
Mutual Company is the most prof
liable one to the insured; Mixed
Companies. or those substantially
Mutual, may, by superior skill and
other advantages, actually make
the largest dividends of surplus
profits to pOlicy-hOlders."- XC.,
New York Insurance Report for 1858.
In the BROOKLYN LIFE no
POl1cy-holder can ever be assessed
for any loss or deficiency---in Mu-
tuals the POlicy-holders alone are
responsible.
The success which the "BROOKLYN" has achiev-
ed, fully exemplifed in its rapid and healthful
growth, is convincing proof Of the confidence re-
posed by the public in its soundness, integrity and
hberality.

The Condition OF American s.,.,,..

The Treasury Department has printed. as a
supplement to the recent annual renort of
Secretary McCulloch a small pamphlet con-
tanning very important statistics in regard to
the tonnage of the United States, accompan-
led with paper by Joseph Nimmo, Jr., on
the shipbuilding of the United States from
1877 to 1868 1t is mortfying to learn, as we
now do that the tonnage of the United States
to-day, as shown by the records of shipbuild-
ing, is but little more than half of what II
was in 1855, and only trifie greater than it
was IN lS47. No American can contemplate
with pleasure the official announcement that
"at the present time there are 80 American
and 1O6 foreign steamers plying between the
Atlantic and Gulf ports of the United States
and foreign ports, of which American aud
w foreign steamers run to ports in Europe"
The total tonnage of the United States on
June 80. 1868, including steam and sailing YES
sells, barges and canal boats, is stated as fol-

TRAGEDY AT MCKENZIE STATIoY.-We
have been informed Of most disgrace
full affair at Mckenzie Station, on the
Memphis and Ohio. road, involving the
death of "a peaceable and inoffensive citi'
zen of that place, named Edwards The
perpetrator of the outrage was one
McElroy, formerly of this city, and "a
we'll known cut-throat and desperate 1t
would seem that some few weeks since
dispute had arisen between the two
parties as to some trivial matter, and on
separating, MeElroy had threatened the
life of Edwards when next he met him.
On Saturday last the parties met
again for the first time, and true to
his word, McElroy carried his threat
into execution by drawing a pistol
and shooting Edwards through the heart,
killing him almost instantly. The MUIR
derer then fed, and has not since been
heard Of though it is hoped he may be
apprehended before leaving the State,
and held to answer for his crime.
The affair has created the intensest ex-
element throughout the neighborhood
where it occurred, and McElroy could
scarcely escape the mob should he re.
turn to the town. Edwards, as we have
stated, was a young man of spotless
character, an exemplary member, of
the church, and highly esteemed by all
who knew him.

to the removal Of the wharfboats, and the
legal steps taken by the wharfboat men
10 prevent the same, says; "We do not
know upon what grounds the injunction
was asked for. but suppose that the St.

removal Of their boat would work ire
parable damage. and that II has no other
relief except the protection Of the
Chancery Court This perlinacity does
not harmonic with their former declara-

straised to say that their conduct looks
very much like determination to dictate

means, the power and duties Of the city
government" Now so far as the gentle
men of the St. Louis Packet Company
are concerned, our Contemporary has evil

informed by the officers Of the company,
and we believe we are, they have had no
participancy whatever in the resistance
of the recent order Of the Board, but on
the contrary have held themselves in
readiness to obey any aud every edict Of
the city, and even went 20 far as to draw
in their staging preparatory to removing
their boat when the recent order was
passed, the Council requiring them so TO
do. Had net the Council considered
its action, doubtless ere this the packet
company's boat would have been dropped
down to the private wharf at the foot of
Beal street, or altogether removed from
the landing. We make this statement
simply with view to doing justice tothe
gentlemen representing the packet com
pany.
