WHO SHOULD INSURER
The rich and the poor; the clergyman and
the laymen; the physician, the lawyer, the
merchant, the mechanic and the laborer.-
Every one having q family dependent upon
him for support should effect an insurance on
his life for their benefit in case OF his decease;
the rich, because they have the means to pro-
vide against the chances of fortune; the poor
man can spare little every year for the fu-
ture wants of those who may, be left destitute,
the professional man, while in life and health,
fuda alre means of support for his family,
yet he raroty accumuiatet q IortuDc; Tho set
aried man, because none are more exposed to
the changes and vicissitudes Of fortune. In
short. Life Assurance is applicable to all cir.
cumstances in life.
AN EXCELLENT FEATURE.
The character OF this company specially
provides that wife can insure the life Of the
husband for the benefit of herself and children,
free from any claims, dues or demands Of his
creditors in case her husband should die in
debt or the estate become insolvent.

A German named Carl Schell, mar
ried young girl just from the Fader'
land, at Omaha, some three weeks ago,
in most peculiar manner. He pur'
chased pair of ear-bobs, put them in
her ears, and informed the young lady
that "this little ceremony constitutes a
marriage in America" After week
had passed he took them out, and In
formed her of another piece Of news,
viz: "This little ceremony constitutes a
divorce in America" He is now in
Jail for stealing trunk.

A MANS HATRED.-"Do not tell me
what he is as friend" said a great
philosopher, "but what he will become
as an enemy"
There is a certain insolence in men
of mean natures whom sudden turn OF
the wheel elevates into positions of au-
thority. If it is an enemy whom they
hold in their power, there are no depths
of malice they will not sound in their
desire to abase and injure.
The surcst test of mans natnre is
found in his hates. The hatred of q
loyal, honorable man, if an evil passion,
is at least free from any degrading act
which would lower his own high stand
ard, or abase the common human broth
erhood, which exists between himself
and his foe. He would strike lis enemy
to the heart, but it would be in fair
fight; nor would he repeat the blow
when he was on the ground. Once un-
der it, and he is no jackal to. batten on
the senseless body.
1t strikes us tnat there is vast deal
of astonishment wasted on the late out
rage at Arlington. Indignation and dis
gust, we grant, might fill full measures,
run over, aud yet be poWerlcss to express
the real sentiments of every true man,
but astonishment is out of reason. We
had no right to expect different con-
duct from so vulgar an official. We had
no right to believe that single chord of
human sympathy could respond to any
token of respect paid to the memory of
the unfortunate brave in his presence.
In fact, those guilty ofthe outrage could
not have acted differently, had they been
true to their savage instincts.
There is nobiesse oJlige which COM
pels to magnanimous action, but there is
also a Jassessc oJl}9e, which is quite as
imperative in its mean way. We don't
believe the camp followers think any
thing of stripping the dead. In fact,
they take certain credit to themleves, if
they do it thoroughly, and leave no spoil
for others. What would they do with
the code of honor which rules their sup
perior officers ?
AS we said before, it is in hatreds
that the lowest animal instincts in man
crop out. Civilization has done agreat
deal to repress it, but civilization can
not reach all men and all natures.

WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER OF
INFANTS.

A good deal of interest has of late
been felt in2Europs knd America in
regard to the destruction of infant life;
which has come to be painful feature
of the times. Compared with female
infanticide in India, however, the crime
in these go. .ntrios sinks into issisnttI'
canoe. Among large communities OF
the Hindoos all female infants are de-
stroyed as soon as they are born, and q
most unnatural state of things exist
The statistics on the subject, gathered
by the British government are exceed
ingly startling The following are some
of the facts developed.
In some villages of the Baboos OF
uda-war-Kullan there were lO4 boys
to one girl, and this one had only es-
capped by being born and kept at the
house of her mothers family, and for
ten years there has been only one girl
married in all the villages of this family.
The neighbors themselves even point
out this clan with some degree Of hor-
ror, rcmarking that their tanks were
deep with infants bones, and the floors
Of their houses paved with skulls. But
other families are nearly as bad. In
% villages of the Coonwurst of Pukher'
wa Kullan there were 204 boys and %
girls. In IL Of these there was said not
to be a single girl, and the marriage
ceremony was unknown. In five vii
lagos belonging to the Babocs of Pur.
tabgurgh there are said to be only two
girls, and the Baboos of Asogpoor have
not a single girl, and rather boast that
no girl has ever been married from
amongst them or known to have been
born in their village. Throughout the
whole Pergunuah of Amorhn, contain
ing las villages, the average was 76
boys to "a girls. The proportion a,
mongst the Goutums, a numerous and
proud race, who came originally from
Oudh, is So boys to ~ girls ; in eight
of their villages not one girl exists, and
no marriage has taken place for upward
of ten years. The Kulnums are not
quite so bad, as in ten of their villages
there were 1T boys to 65 girls, but the
Chohans average II boys to only %
girls in 20 villages.
Most of the clans in which this state
of things exist are Rajpoots, who refuse
intermarry with their neighbors, and
whose clansmen will only marry their
daughters in consideration of heavy
dowry. This and the other expenses
of marriage are said to be the causes Of
the destruction of female infants; and
even amongst the survivors, the want
Of proper care and attention. To sup
ply women for the adult males class
Of marriage brokers has sprung up, who
either purchase or kidnap girls of Other

countries, and sell them to those able
to pay for them. Some of the leading
men of these clans, conspicuous amongst
whom is the Rajah of Bansee, made an
attempted to reduce the expenses Of
marriage and the sums demanded as
dowry, and the Rajah, to set an exam
pie to his countrymen, married his
nephew and four of his clansmen with
out accepting any dowry, and with only
very small professions, and on the mar
riage of his son would only accept one
gold mohur. Unfortunately he is not
of the same caste as those amongst whom
the crime chiefly prevails, and his ex'

English papers call upon the India
government to interfere.

Refuse Matter of the city.

The necessity for place to deposit the
excretia +" of the city without mourning
the risk of damage for trespassing, has
become SO pressing as to forcibly suggest
the enforcement Of the ordinance of 1866,
authOrising the Mayor TO have constructed
dumping float for the public Use, from
which filth will be deposited into The cur
rent of the river.
This mode Of disposition may consult
present necessities, but cannot result TO the
beat interest of the community, inasmuch
as there are many poor acres of land adj
joining the city that very strongly sug-
gest the propriety Of its utilization and
return to the soil from whence it came, and
to which it is a very essential element Of
pro ductiveness.
The refuse matter of all the large cities,
East and West, is source of large reye-
nue.. For instance, the city of Boston sells
the privilege of her excrements for from
thirty to forty thousand dollars annually,
while here scaveDgers are forbidden to
carry it beyond the confines of the city. II
IS time our farmers living near the city
were learning the fact that their lands are
susceptible of improvement.

On this occasion Mrs. Lander repeated her
great character of Mary Stuart, Queen oil

might say that her rendition was better

this may be, we can safely say that an au

Ionatiou of the principal character, but

Tonight is the farewell benefit of Mra.

Yesterday We had an opportunity Of
converting with several we'll known and
intelligent gentlemen from Giles county
and were gratifed at the character of their
statements respecting affairs 10 that coun.
ty. They say that the people, white and
black, in every part Of the county are
peaceable and industrious, making CON-
mendable effort TO plant their crops and
avoid any trouble with the militia unne-
cessarily quartered upon them. All classes
Of respectable citizens, without regard to
color or previous condition." unite in the
opinion that the presence Of the militia
there is not needed for the protection OF
life and property, and is calculated TO do
more harm than good 80 far as the peace
of society and interests Of the people are
concerned. Orders have been issued for
the withdrawal Of two companies of the
militia force now quartered in Gilea, ard
ii ia TO be hoped that the remaining GEM
panies will be speedily removed.

up, and SS75, 900, 900 of four per cent. bonds
at eighty per cent. would secure $780,
600, 900 circulation, the amount now out.
The remaining $50, SOC, 900 four per cent.
bonds would secure $50, OOO, 600 circulation
and being sold for cash, would furnish $780,
600, 900 United States notes to becanceIed,in
lieu OF the National Bank notes, and would
furnish $12, SOC, 900 beside, which could be
applied to the porehase and cancellation OF
any other United States Understanding
securities. The bill proposes to give the
Secretary Of the Treasury the authority to
issue registered bonds to the amount Of
$437, SOC, 900, at four per cent. interest in
gold, payable senli-annually, to be re-
deemed at the pleasure of the United
States, at the end of thirty years, and re-
ceived by the Treasurer as security for the
| National Banks. The National Banks
are, By this bill, required to convert the
bonds at present in security into the fOnr
per cent. bonds above alluded to, and the
bill will provide how the conversion shall
be made: but If the banks fail TO make the
conversions within sixty days from the time
specified, the bonds shall be sold by the
Comptroller of the Currency at public
sale. The third section of the bill author
ICES the Secretary of the Treasury to sell
not to exceed s62, 100000 of these four
per cent. bonds, at par, for United States
notes, to any parties or association which
have filed their articles of association and
organization certificate with the Comp
troller of the Currency, and obtained his
approval for the organization of banks
in any Of the Southern or Western
States which are entitled by the bill to re-
ceiys circulation. The bonds thus sold
are TO be issued to the Treasurer, in trust,
as security for the circulation of the asso-
citation making the deposit. The fourth
section authorizes the Comptroller Of the
Currency TO issue circulating notes to
national banks to the amount Of $5O,OOO,-
600 in addition to the amount now author
lied by law, the same TO be apportioned
10 the States aud Territories having the
least ratabls proportion of national bank
circulation according to population and
the needs of business. For every Thousand
dollars thus issued the Secretary is re-
| r,,,;-o1 A. oonoal ho aon,a amonnt Of limited
States notes received by him in payment
for bonds sold and deposited as security
for such circulation. The circulation Is
to be issued at the rate of eighty dollars
for every one hundred dollars of bonds de-
posted, and when national bank fails to
redeem its circulation its bonds are to be
declared forfeited to the United States and

How a Negro was Sold.

A couple of boys last night procured an
oyster can, which they filled with mud and
done up the same nicely in paper and de
posted it on The pavement. In little
while a negro came along, and picked up
the package, when one of the boys ap
preached and told him to hand over his
can Of oysters which he had just dropped.
The negro being apprized that his bundle
contained something palatable, refused to
give it up. The boy told him that if be
did not deliver instanter, he would call a
policeman. This intimation was too much
for the negro, and he struck up a trot,
holding fast however to his bivalves. The
boys followed in pursuit, yelling at the
top Of their voices, but this only tended to
increase the speed of the darkey, who was
determined to save his oysters at all haz-
ards. After running through several thor
oughfares, the negro, who had the start
managed to dodge out of the way. He
was no doubt little taken back when he
found that the can was filled with mud.

A mule belonging to NJ. A. Parrish wa
drowned in the river at the levee late yes
terdsy evening. The mule was attached
to a dray, and the boy drove his team into
the water for the purpose Of watering the
mule, The wheels Of the dray went into
a hole, and the mule was dragged beneath
the water, and all efforts TO save him
proved unavaiIing. The driver continued
to hold on to the lines until his own life
was in danger, and he only let go when he
vas persuaded to do so by the croSd OF
persons who saw his situation. The dray,

Reserve,, seats.

We do not remember to have heard dig
cussed the question whether the man who
invented the habit or practice OF reserved
seats at places of public Amusement was
benefactor of his race, but we think 1t
nevertheless a legitimate soject OF inquiry,
and would be glad if there were some way
of fully determining the point suggested.
Until it is done, il can hardly be definitely
known whether the world aecords more OF
praise than blame to the aforesaid inventor,
nor can il be accurately ascertained whether
the customary practice of obtaining re-
served seats at public entertainments IL
really benefit or otherwise TO the present
generation. Those who like the habit, and
would not willingly see it give place
to the democratic style of other and
better times, may with fair appear
ance of reason urge that it is
public convenience AID therefore RICH
and proper. They csn truly say that the
man who takes the extra trouble Of en-
gazing or pays the extra price necessary
TO secure preferable seats should certainly
enjoy The liberty OF doing SO, 10 order
that he may go early or late as he pleases,
and be certain Of having good seat. On
the other hand, less fastidious people, who
are willing to risk the chances of obtaining
comfortable seats without the extra pains
necessary to secure them, can, with at
least seeming propriety, claim that 1t
would be better if no discrimination were
made in the matter of seating an audi
ence, thus giving those whose business
Or economy prevents the previous engage.
ments of seats an equal chance with the
fortunate possessors of abundant leisure
and full purses. 1t may also be claimed thai
were the habit Of allowing reserved seats
abandoned, the audience would be Assem-.
bled and seated before the commencement
of the performance, and not so liable al
now TO be disturbed by the noise and COM
motion of late arrivals in heavy boots OF
dazzling attire of more attractive sort.
We are hardly able to conjecture whaI
disposition we'll regulated debating so
cieiy would make of The question involved
but for our own part we rather incline To-
wards what seems the more democratic
phase of the case, and which, as We take
it, would best subserye the comfort ant
convenience of all concerned.
