The great Life Insurance Company of the
United States is the National, of which Jay
Cooke & Co. are the General Agents, Wash
ington. Compared with other big compa-
mes, it is destined soon to be the BIGGEST
company in the country. Why? Because
its growth and popularity, measured in its
infancy, warrants it. They have issued, in
five months, nearly 1000 policies, embra-
cling sum insured of upwards of $18.O0O,-
600, and the applications daily increasing.
Another reason is, that the plan of the Ma
tional is the correct one, the cheapest one,
the most liberal one; secures the largest
amount for the sum paid; no fictitious or
distant dividends declared to dazzle the i'm
agination with IFS glittering promises, but
gives you a cash dividend In hand before
you start How? A young clerk, age
twenty, pays 1925 a year, and secures 4
policy in the National for 81, 900. In other
companies he pays $685. difference of
So 94, or cash dividend of over fifty-two
per cent This difference will enabIs him
to take out policy for $500 more; so that.
should he die, his family secures $1,000,
and pay no more premium than other com
panies charge for 81 900. This don't look
like, what is supposed by some to ',e the
case, that the company divide oil the profits
among themselves. Why, the fact is, they
give you q dividend before it is due-in ad-
vance-and no contingent operation of ma
king profit is dependent upon it. Insure
in the National Call and get circulars.

that problem, If not definitely solved, at

past extraordinary councils of ministers
have met with the sole Object of discussing
that subject and arriving at common
understanding. Unfortunately divisions
have not disappeared in the Government

four defend the Duke of Montpensier' 8
Claims four those of Dom Fernando of
Portugal, while NJ. Romero ORTIZ keeps
aloof The question, therefore, remains
Just where it was, and no one can fore
see what will result from the vote of the

to be brought forward as soon as was SUP.

occur to completely change the public feel

There is, however, one fact certain, name

Jealous for their own autonomy, think they
see in the ection of the ex- Regent step
taken towards the Iberian union. Thus we
find all the organs of the Portuguese press
combating that solution. The reception
which they gave to the recent decree of Nj.
Gorilla, decari ring all university degrees con-
ferred in Portugal valid in Spain, shows
that those journals saw the trap laid for
them, but refused to be caught in it. The
Diario Merca'aH, OF Oporto. in speaking of
Gorilla, pero mucho ojo" Qet us have our
eyes wide open.) The Diario de Noticios,

the Spanish Minister had better ut once

doms. Evidently, therefore, the greatest
difficulties for Dom Fernando will arise on
the side Of Portugal, and not of Spain.

word more, gentle reader. We do not pre-.
tend to be all saints; we do not say that
there Is nothing but noble feelings and as
plratlons among us; but this We do protest
most solemnly, that there is a general feel
ing among us against the life we now lead.
and strong craving for better things.
Grant us but one trial, even though yon
grant 1T In scorn, and do not 90 on forever
condemning us untried. Even if it be be-
lleved that wOman's hands are too weak to
push forward any good cause (though they
are deemed powerful enough in everv bad
one,) would there be any harm in our
trying? We might not move the load of
evil one hairs breadth, but at all events we
should not be increasing its weight by any
acts of our own. And might we not even
do good Indirectly by shaming the men
around us, who, with such splendid oppor-
tunltles, are as useless and more actively
mlschlevous than ourselves, to buckle to in
the great work, and to prove to us practi-
cally their superiority? In the name.
therefore, of q large class, we demand for
girls growing to womanhood the opportu-
nifty of spending 6 portion of their young
lives Ill the service Of their God and of their
fellow creatures We implore for them a
release from their present bondage of idle
seltlshness, and the means not only of cult
vatlng their talents, but in exercising them
in the cause OF good and not of evil. We
implore it for our own sakes, that our lives
may be Enlightened by the blessing of God,
which ever rests on all good works, whether
successful or not in the eyes of the world.
We implore it for the sake of those who are
still young, that they may be saved the
dreariness and degradation which we have
undergone. We implore it for the sake of
our country, which we feel to be suffering in
dignity and character from the example set
by the class to which we belong Lastly,
we claim it because we feel that it cannot
be the will OF God that so many talents,
youth, energy, intelligence and influence
should be wholly given up to devils work.

fault if, at the close of the present century,
