LIFE INSURANCE..

To TRF EDrTOR OF TIRE TRIBUEE-SIR: In yes
terday's issue you say that careful examination
leads you to the conclusion that any method of
Life Insurance is good. Let us see, On the
heels of financial disaster, l deeply felt the ne
cessty of providing for the wants Of growing
family in case of my decease obtained Life
Policy Of 5000 in the Manhattan Life Insurance
Company, of New York city. Please read the
following correspondence:
"HoNFspAIE, Pa, Feb. Is, 1S6s.-MR. J. L.
HALsET, Secretary Of the Manhattan Life In
surance Company, New lork-DEAR SIR: Does
your company give pald'up policies to the as-
sured in case of inability to continue payment
on Life Policies If SO, what would be the
amount Of my paid Policy on the sd inst,
NV Life Poiscy having run three years2 Num-
Der of Policy, l4,O9l. Please reply.
Yours, very respectfully, e. M SCOTT
MANHATTAN LIFE Insurance COMPANY, No.
l56 Broadway, New York, Feb. IA, 1850, Nj.
ScOTT ESQ.-DEAR SIR Yours Of yesterday Is
at hand and duly noticed. The return value on
a Life Policy is equivalent to the note given
each year for q portion of the premIum-that is
when premiums are paid partly by note. When
paid all in cash, there VIII be no notes to pro-
vide for, hence there Is usually some return.
Number l4,O9l having paid part by note each
year its return value must necessarily be alb
sorbed by the notes. Yours truly
s, n. STEBBIN5, Actuary."
RTWAREs-If the return value is absorbed in
three years. why not in SIX, twelve or twenty 2
How much would be absorbed by the notes in
case of death at the expiration OF thirty years
Where is the great absorbent poWer-the earn
ings of the company" Under such state of
things, can we say that any method of Life In
surauce is a good one? 1t may be a good Alb
sorbent-one that n poor man feels 1 do not
covet the bite. Yours truly,
C. NJ. ScoTT.
Honesdale. Pa, Feb. IS. 1868,
To the above testimony, we can add that when
ANY Life Insurance Company takes notes for a
part of premium, the only surrender value that
such policies have is a RETURN OF THE NOTES
GIVEN: but some companies do not even return
the notes, but hold on to them for all time, az a
part of their accumulated assets, subject to all
the FUTURE vicissitudes of the business of such
companies. In such eases, Of course all the
cash and large amounts of interest paid out by
the policy holders is lost to him and TO his heirs
forever. This is one of the most serious draw
backs 10 the combined cash and note plan in
Life Insurance. Had Mr., Scott, spoken OF above,
been insured in an ALL CASH company, he would
have received a PAID-UP insurance Tor what his
premiums would have purchased, or the com
pany would have refunded to him n con sidera
bic portion of of his premium IN CASH. 1t will
be seen that the Manhattan "a note company
will not do this.

THE DRAMA AT sHELBTvTLLE.
,. Wilkes Booth. tn Averaging the
Snnlls Assnaslrnles IImsen.


The show business in Shelbyville is run
on Dig scale. No ordinary concern can
draw house there in wet weather. A
few nights since there was one for the ben
eft of a negro school, and the bills had
announced the production Of a sensational
representation of the assassination OF Abra-
ham Lincoln by j. Wilkes Booth. OF
course there was a tremendous orowd-tTe-
mendous in various wsys-and many stood
up in order that the ladies might all have
seats. A healthy looking darkey named
Levi Sparrow took the part of Booth, and
some other equally interesting parsonage
appeared as President Lincoln. The great
sensation threw every other part of the
show into the shade, il that were possible,
and the variegsted audience awaited with
breatbless suspense the rising of the cur
tsins upon the most fearful tragedy ever
enacted upon the western continent. A
church-yard at midnight would have been
noisy compared to that amusement hall at
the moment when the triangle babe the
mysterious calico TO lit itself and reveal
the assassin and his victim. Up it went
with the grace and regularity of sheet of
tan-bark undergoing a similar process, and
the awful spectacle broke upon the gaze OF
that Vastly multitude. The silence was
painful. The miniature Lincoln sat
rolling his eyes toward the awe
struck audience, waiting for Booth
to shoot, while Booth might have
been taken for Ajax defying the lightning,
"a he stood there like a carpenters COM
pass tragically awaiting the eliminating
point Sic Seanper Iyranni8 burned on
his lips. Jerking revolver from his |
pocket, he raised it nervOusly. Bang
bangp went the iron, zip! zip"
whistled the bullets, but instead of the late !
motto of Virginia, came a howl of pain |
from the assassin as he hastily dropped the |
weapon from his CORY fingers and danced |
about in a most untragic way, waking up |
Lincoln, who had died rather prematurely |
on hearing real balls so close TO his head,
and astounding the spectators beyond ex-
preston. Several excitable colored fe- |
males were thrown into Mysteries or some.
thing akin, and the excitement for a short
time was unparalleled in the history of
shows On order being restored, however,
il was found that Booth instead Of finish |
ing the President had shot himself in the
hands, and the ayenger of the South was
taken home on 4 shutter.

The London correspondent Of the New
York Financial Chronicle writes on the 9Th
inst. as follows:
While cotton was continually, and al
most uninterruptedly,f falling in price, much
anxiety was felt respecting the state of az
fairs at Liverpool since, with values
shrinking, the merchant was becoming each
day less able to bear the strain but now
that the lowest point seems to have been
reached, and the market il improving, IL il
considered in most quarters that no anxiety
need be felt respecting that department Of
our commerce Besides, Il ia evident that
the cotton trade il in d sounder condition
than for many months past That the
downward movement in prices has been
checked is unquestionable, and the proba-
bility-almost a certainty-of a falling OF
in the production Of American cotton in
the approaching season has led 70 an in
creased speculation, while the trade have
purchased more freely at higher rates
When however, 1t became known that the
internal duty had been removed, end that
the receipts Of produce at the Southern
ports last week were $4,000 bales, buyers
the sales have been extensive and the ten
dency OF prices upward. 1t seems, indeed,
very probable that the value Of cotton will
continue to improve The demand from
the trade has been augmented to a con-
siderable extent the stocks Of cotton in
Liverpool and London including thesuppli, s

are only 673,3 bales against 359, $40 bales

Of 1867, the production Of India and
Egypt in the approaching season, "a we'll

but viii, on the other hand, exhibit de-
cline In the face, therefore, Of dimished
supplies, and Of increased demand, it seems

An Intoxicated Husband Shoots HES
NNRCa

A terrible domestic tragedy occurred in
South Nashville yesterday afternoon, be-
tween three 80 four o'clock. Mr.. John
Archibald, the keeper of a grocery on the
corner of Mulberry and Cherry streets, in
the rear of which he resides, while in fit
Of intoxication, drew a revolver and shot
his wife, the ball entering her breast and
passing through her body, inhicting a dan
gerous if not mortal wound. Though quar-
rels were not unfrequent between theeouple,
partly in consequence of the hasty temper
and Jealous disposition oftbe wife, they were
always regarded as very worthy pair,
and the news of the startling occurrence
struck their large circle of friends aud ac-
quaintsnces with infinite surprise and hoT-
ror. They have three children.
Archibald was placed under arrest aud
lodged in Jail, the case not being deemed
bailable. The unfortunate man had been
under the influence OF lfquor several days.
When sober he would have been the very
last person to have committed 40 revolving
q crime.
The occurrence created a great deal of
excitement in the neighborhood where it
happened, and was the subject of CONVEX
sation last night in every quarter Of the
city.

NEGRO MARRIAGFs.-The Supreme
Court yesterday decided Gaze involving
the validity of negro marriages contracted
previous TO the war. Solomon Mercy

in the Montgomery county Circuit Court,
having, after emancipation, married sec
ond wife while the one he had married in
slavery was still living, and the case was
appealed to the Supreme Court. The court
decided that marriages contracted during
slavery were not valid, unless the parties
contracting remained together after their
emancipation.
