POtScSes Issued as Good as
a7sy United States Bonds,

The Brooklyn Life is the only Company in
the country which guarantees 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 onty equitable manner of dividing the earnings
OF Life Insurance Company The Contribution
Plan was first conceived by Mr.. D. P. Fackler, now
Actuary OF this Company, and has been adoptod by
most OF the best managed Life Companies in this
country.
The Brooklyn Life has paid and now paws
to its Policy.holders larger Dividends than
ever before paid by a Life Insurance Compa-
ny!

the so-called Mutuals, pays no percentages or

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
BROOKLYNLIFE is open, candid econom-
lcal, and prudent; no one man poaoer, as in
the so-called Mutuals, but closely scrutinized

by its care, skill, prudence, and economy the
BROOKLYN LIFE, as Mixed Company
has fully exemplified 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."- Page XC.,
New York Insurance Report for 1868.
In the BROOKLYN LIFE no
POlicy-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 healthul
growth is convincing proof of the confidence re-
posed by the public in its soundness, integrity and
liberaity.

cut gone Republican,.

As the returns come in of Monday e
town elections in Connecticut they rev. al
sufficient gains to show that the Repub-
icans have overcome last Springs Demo
cratic majority. and have carried the
state We were expecting nothing from
Connecticut. and had conceded the state
to our opponents; but it appears that we
were much mistaken, and it looks now as
it Grant had pretty sure thing of that
state in November New Haven. the
stronghold of the Connecticut rebels,
gives Gil majority against 1888 last
spring, a Coperhead loss of l ,536. Hart
ford is cut down 100. Some twenty dem
oeratic towns have been carried By the
Republicans Norwich, which last spring
gave 2lO Republican majority, now rolls
up 400. Meridian and other places show
large republican gains. In short, the
state has gone Republican, and the Con-
perhead majority obtained in the hard
fight of last spring is wiped out.
The reaction against copper rebelism is
unmistakable. The tidal wave which
precedes the earthquake Of the Sd of
November, is coming in. There was one
dash of 1t on the first of September in
Vermont. another in Maine on the l4tb
ult.. and now comes small wave in Con
necticut, as prelude to the food which
will break oyer the whole Union next
November.

Burning of the Propeller Perseverance

m OSWEGO, October 9th.
The propeller Perseverance, Capt J John
Fltz Gibbons, of the Weland Railway
Line, took fire fifteen miles off Puttnev-
vile about = clock this morning, and
burned to the waters edge. The fire
was first discovered by the. engineer, who
showed 1t to the first mate, be being then
ON watch, and almost before they could
realize the appalling fact the propeller
was completely enveluped in flames. Two
OF her boats were on FIRE before they
could be reached, but the third was
launched and put off with the two mates
a man and boy There were nineteen
persons aboard, fourteen of whom, in
Guiding the captain, persisted in the
bames. The propeller Enterprise, of the
same line, was about fifteen miles astern
OF the Perseverance, and she picked up
the boat containing the persons above
named, and arrived here with them this
afternoon. The Enterprise remained
near the burning steamer until daylight,
at which time the wreck was still aaoat.
The captain son, who was first mate, is
among the saved.
The cargo of the Perseverance consist
ed of 20, l47 bushels of corn for T. S.
Mott, of Oswego. Both boat and cargo
were insured. The Perseverance was a
first class propeller and employed wholly
In the grain trade between the WellaBd
Railway and Oswego. This is one of the
most heart rendering accidents which has
ever occurred OF Lake Ontario and has
cast gloom over the whole community.

- Gen. Schofeld, Secretary of War
under our present Dem ,cr ,tic Admins
tration, is to be added to the list of tho> e
who az he tersely puts it, believe that
the Union can only be fully restored ly
the men who put down the rebellion. :"
Having himself been a soldier he do; s
not include Gov. Seymour in the catego-
~. Your election 10 the Presidency,
he says to Gen. Grant, will be the end
of our political troubles, as your accession
to the command n chief of the army
was the end of the Southern Rebellion. "
Secretary Schoield has heretofore had
the reputation Of extreme conservatism,
and during the war he inclined so much
to the Frank Blair party, while in Mis-
souri,, as to arouse the intense wrath of
the Radicals, and provoke persistent eff
forts tor his removal.

- Few revolutions in modern times
have been SO eminently successful as that
OF Spain. The rarti>ans # the Queen
nave given up the contest almost without
any resistance; one single and insignif-
cant encounter has thus far been men
toned. Even the capital, strongly as it
vas gsrrisoned, was gained for the popu-
lar cause without drop of blood. The
harmony which has thus far prevailed
between the leaders Of the liberal nart,es
continues. Gen. Seraano and Gen Pr;m
are acting in complete accord. They
have called Gen. Espartero to preside
professionally over the affairs of the ma
taon. A new ministry has been formed.
with -Serrano as President, and Prim
Topete, and other revolutionary leaders
as members. There have been a few
isolated republican demonstrations, but as
get they have been without effect.

Dress in Relation to Figure.

In adapting the dress to the shape and
size OF the wearer, certain knowledge of
drawing, and OF the proper proportions
ct the figure, is, of course. the chief help
There, are however, few well ascer
tanned rules which may safely be taught.
One, for instance, is that transverse shapes
generally tend to lessen height and in
crease breadth, while long longitudinal
forms have the opposite effect Another
well-known rule (Which [ believe is easily
explained by reference to optical science)
Is the tendency Of light colors to increase
the apparent size, and rice rerso. Peo-
pie OF more than average size should be
cautious about wearing white or very light
colors for this season, although it must
always be remembered that proportion
and color lmpresses the eye so much
more senslbly than mere scale, that this
rule is very subordinate one, and only
to be applied after those more important
subjects have been thoroughly considered.
1t should. however, be remembered that
more than average size necessarily in
wolves certain degree of conspiciousness,
which makes any popularity of dress
doubly undesirable in such cases. a
small person may wear with impunity

inexcusably striking on large figure
Nothing goes so tar to redeem unusual
size as complete repose both in form and
color. Much trimming. loose ends and
steamers, frills, and turbelows, and cap
rices of all kinds are apt to become intol-
cradle when magnifcd, while on small
scale they may please, by certain fut.
terlng airiness which is in keeping with
the impression of a tiny creature. But
here also proportion may almost reverse
the effect of scale A short heavy figure
may even more mperatively need quiet
ness In dress than one of twice its actual
volume which has run up into slenderness.
And this naturally leads SINE to the second
respect in which dress should be adapted
to wearer, namely, character; which.
indeed, is scarce y separable from the
form on which it is impressed, and accor-
ding to which such question as the last
should mainly be decided = CoruAM

Judge Chase on the Political Situation

4 special despatch to the Chicago Tri-
bune says Chief Justice Chase expresses
himself freely to his friends on the polti
cal situation. He feels entirely confident
of Grant s election, and not only this,
but says further that he will lie President
for eight years if he desired it, for he will
be cautious, will make no serious blum
ders, and that his influence upon the Re.
publican party will be to consolidate it.
Or the other hand, Mr.. Chase SAYS il
his judgment the democratic party will be
hopeiessly devided, by the fact that il
has fully identified itself with rebels and
rebel ideas, and this will surely drive of
large numbers of Northern democrats
and leave the party powerless against
the Republicans Mr.. Chase expects to
be able to symnathize fully with General
Grant administration.
