PIHIS Society, which confines its bust
a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, %labouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate 10 provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and suffi-
cient TO create large SURPRISES, out of
which ReverSionary Bonuses, averaging
% per cent per amman upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period of 80 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives Of persons residing in this part of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhahiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows
the Premiums required to assure 500,

General John E. Wool.

General John Ellis Wool died at Troy, New
York, Wednesday. He was born at Newburg,
New York, in 1889, and was therefore eighty
years of age. Arriving at the age of manhood
he turned his attention to legal studies. This
was broken in upon in 1912, by his accep-
lance of an infantry Captains commission in
the service of the Government in the war
with Great Britain. He was wounded at
Queenstown, fought bravely at Pattsburg, and
for gallant service at Beekmantown was bre-
vetted Lieutenant Colonel. In 1916 he was
made Inspector General of the Northern Di>
vision Lieutenant Colonel in 1918; In
spector- General of the whole army in 1921,
and in 1926 vas brevetted Brigadier- Generai
o. for ten years faithful service. In 1882 he
was sent by the Government to examine the
military systems of Europe. After his return
he inspected the coast defences from Maine to
the Mississippi. June %, 1871, he received
the full rank of Brigadier General. In May,
1876. he was sent to the West to organize
volunteers for the Mexican war, and in six
weeks armed, equipped and dispatched to the
seat of war Il, 900 troops. Proceeding to Mex
leo, he participated nobly in the struggle there
going on and for his distinguished service at
Buena Vista was brevctted Major-General IN
1S4S.
w hen General 1ayloF letuIHeu ~ the
limited States November, 1S47) Wool was
placed in command of the army of occupation,
a position he retained until the close of the
war. In January, 1854, Congress presented
him with sword and vote of thanks for
his services in Mexico. Soon after he was
sent to the Department of the Pacific, where
he incurred the displeasure of eferson Davis,
then Secretary of War, by his too literal ODE
dience of orders relative to the enforcement
of the neutrality laws
General Wool's services in the West we're
closed by successful campaign of three
months against the Indians in Oregon and
Washington territories When the rebellion
broke out he rendered his services to the Gov
ernmcnt, but, aside from his expedition to
Norfolk, did little active service in the field,
his advanced age uniting him for that duty.
On May 16. 1862, he was promoted to the
full rank of NJ ajor- General.

LAT PRATT STREET.-h the list of our
Baltimore advertisements will be found the
card of ALEX. J. BRAND, Jr. & Co., whose
place OF business is lat Pratt street, opposite
the Maltby House. We have only a short
personal acquaintance With the head of this
house, but this has been sufficient to impress
us with his readiness as an efficient business
man, and We have no hesitancy in recommend
ing him and his house to the patronage of our
people who have consignments to make, of
any article of produce, from the smallest lot
of butter and eggs, to the heaviest crops of
wheat or corn. Mr.. Brand is not himself
Virginienj but he has recently testified his de-
votion to the old State by forming an alliance
with one of her fair daughters-havingm married
the sprigbtly and accomplished daughter of
our esteemed friend, as. E. Stewart, ESQ.,
an account of which We published few weeks
ago. In addition to their business as COM
mission merchants, this firm is extensively
engaged in the Tea trade, and are prepared
to furnish the most superior qualities Of this
article, at importers prices. Examine their

MRS. STOWE.

When Mrs. Stowe traduced the South in
Uncle Toms Cabin and its key, the world
would not believe she had done anything
wrong, but now that she has ventured to &C
over to England for material for her scanda
lous pen, she has brought down the condem'
nation of almost all classes of people. BY
one set of critics and journals she is de-
nounced a sanderer, falsifer, and all that
sort of thing, for her article in the Atlantic
Monthly on the True Story of Lord Byron
ton of the literary men and papers of both
England and this country. There is, how
ever, one London journal, the Saturday Re
vieW, paper of high standing, which under
takes to defend the truth of Mrs. Stoves
statement, but in doing so, uses the following
language in reference to herself:
"First, we are thankful to record the unan-
imous and most severe condemnation which
has been passed, both hero and in America,
on Mrs. Stoves conduct. Mrs. Stowe has been
guilty of scandalous breach of faith in re-
gard to Lady Byron, and of extremely bad
taste. She has been, we fear, actuated IN
making her revelations by motives which we
had rather not characterize, and she has let
loose a flood of immoral talk and immoral
speculation on loathsome subjects which has
deeply dsfled, and will long defile European
and American society. But to get IL at tniS
time, and in this indirect and surruPtitious
way. in form SO nauseous, from such
source, and for such objects, is proceeding
which we are glad to say has met with almost
universal indignation, contempt and condem-
nation"
We must confess to a feeling of pleasure
on reading the article from which the above
extracts are taken. Mrs. Stowe used her
wonderful talent for dramatic writing to draw
pictures of Southern life and Southern insti>
tutions, the reading of which. did moro to
arouse sectional hatred than any other cause
Her faIschoods were dressed up with SO much
literary beauty, that the admiring reader took
them as Gospel truths, wherever that readerhad
no actual personal knowledge of the South,
and the STAKEHOLDER of the South was regarded
rs a horrible monster and fend. Now that the
world is awakened to a sense of the sort of
woman she really is, we hope some of its
former believers in her work will, especially
those who hang around Exeter Hall, go back
and read Uncle Tom, and the key with the
grain of salt furnished them by the publica-
ton of the "True Story"

WE'LL DONE. PAGE!

IF there is one county more than another,
interested in the construction of the Shenan-
doah Valley Railroad, that deserves especial
credit for Iberality and public spirit, that
county is gallant little Page, the right wing
of the Tenth Legion. The vote there on the
Both of October, on the proposition to sub
scribe 100000 to the capital stock Of the
road, was a most triumphant one, and shows
at once the carnestness of the people, and
their determination to have a railroad. We
are informed by prominent gentlemen from
that county, that subscription of three hun
dred thousand could have been easily car
ricd as the amount voted upon. In addition
to this subscription the County Court made
an appropriation of $500, to deiray the s1-
penses of survey through the county.
We are anxiously looking for some formal
action in the county of Warren, county that
is also deeply interested in this work. The
citizens of Nlilldale are alive to the impor-
lance Of the matter, and we hope that their
enthusiasm will kindle alike spirit through
out the, county, so that we may have some
generous response from her people.

THE NEW RAILROAD.

There is little left to be said in regard to
the contemplated railroad. We may almost
regard the adoption of the Jefferson and
Clarke route, as a fixed fact; but as we wish
to excite no hopes that may hereafter fail of
realization, we will only say what we have
heretofore told the people Of Jefferson, that
much yet depends upon their own action,
and as they are most deeply interested in the
project, few suggestions may not be out OF
place.
There is not a farmer or business man in
the county, that does not feel that his inter-
ests would be directly promoted by the con-
struction of this road, and that the general
interests of the community would be greatly
enhanced by its competition with the only
route we now have for trade and transporta-
ticn to the Eastern markets. As this feeling
is SO universal, it is not necessary that we
should argue to provo the advantages We are
to reap from the rond's construction. We
have then only to exhort to a spirit of liber-
atty, aud this we do with greater cheerful
ness, because VIC know that the minds of the
people are already convinced, as to the i'm
portance of the work, and that there is a
readiness to engage in the matter heartily.
That some persons will bubble in regard 10
land damages, is to be expected, but we trust
there will be No disposition manifested to
make money put of the road by the exaction
of enormous damages. We think it pretty con-
elusive that such disposition alone can de-
feat or prevent the adoption of the Jefferson
route whenever an extension of the Cumber-
,berland Valley Railroad is determined upon.
The recent survey, made by the engineers
sent out by this county, proved the route
from townsville, Nd, to this point, not only
practicable, but desirabe-just as VIC had
predicted it would be found. The line run
by this corps of engineers is through some
of the best farms in this county, and every
foot Of it is over rich and productive lands.
1t is not to be expected that the owners of
these lands are to suffer the passage of tho
road through their farms without some com
pcnsation, although the value of their prop
crty VIZ be enhanced thereby. But there is
a difference between just compensation and
eztortion, and this difference we hope to see
strictly observed-and we believe it will be
observed, with few individual exceptions.
At the meeting held in Harrisonburg, on
the 9th of October, committee of six was
appointed to wait upon the parties along the
line of the contemplated road, to arrange and
adjust damages. This committee, for this
county, consisted of the following gentlemen,
viz: Logan Osbourn, Geo. W. Eichelberger,
Moses W. Burr, c. 7. Butler, l. Thomas
Chaplino and David Billmyer. We suppose
that no action has been taken by ibis COM
mittee as yet but now that line has been
run, we respectfully suggest that there is
work for them to do, and we have every con-
fdcnco that they will engage in it with
will. We hope their mission will be sue
cessful one, and that at an early day we may
have the satisfaction of publishing a favor
able report from them.

>,GREELY,

We, had supposed that no man living
Tithin the Broad limits of civilization could
lave Sbecn found willing to say a word
Sgainst such man as George Peabody
sh less did we suppose that any American
,soud degrade himself to write, upon the
eciept of the telegram aunouncingthe death
ssJfithe great philanthrophist, such miserable
gZstutf as the following IRON the Tribune. We
I'd hoped, of late. that Greedy had seen the
e.sGrs of his way, and had opened up corner
of his heart to better feolings-especially
towards Southern people, but this vile fling
at them, over the dead friend of the world,
has satisfied US that Horace. and his idols are
still joined together
"Nr. George Peabody, as a successful
banker, was not man Of special consequence
to the worlds economy; as an American
abroad, his patriotism was sometimes called
IN question by his more ardent countrymen;
as man whose political prejudices blinded
him to the atvocity of Southern treason, he
had few claims on American recollection.

CABINET ORGANs.-The most extensive
makers of this class of instruments in the
world are the MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN Co.
who annually produce and find demand for
several times as many as any other manutac-
turers Their work stands highest, not only
in this country, but also in Europe.
Mr. Hamlin, of this Company, was the dis
coverer of the art of Ucicing reeds, and has
brought it to greater perfection than has yet
been attended BY others. From this, mainly,
comes the fine quality of tone peculiar to the
Mason & Hamlin Organs. But the great
success of this Company is doubtless owing,
also, in good measure, to their rigid adherence
to certain principles. They make first class
instruments only, and will not turn out infe-
rior work at any price, or suffer poor instru-
ment to leave their factory and they sell al
ways at least remunerative profit, printing
their lowest prices, which are invariablc.

A Venerable Mana Negro l07 Years
Old


Happening in at the office of the County
Clerk last Saturday we found venerable look
ing colored man, named John Waller, giving
testimony in some important Vincennes land
cases, dating back to the year 1904, or there's
abouts.
On inquiry we found that this venerable
colored individual is LOT years of age, having
been born in Prince William county, Virginia
in the year 1852 He was brought as slave
to Vincennes, but was set free by the famous
ordinance which made free territory of the
great Northwest. He was 40 years old when
he arrived at Vincennes, and he resided in
that region until about four years ago when
he moved to this city. He now lives in the
suburbs of the city known as Bagdad.
Only think of it! This man was grown
up before the United States became free and
independent government. He is older than
the Constitution. He is perfect Methuselah
in this age. When Washington died he was
81 years old. Since his recollection the world
has been repeopled several times What
wonderful changes in his life time!
While slave he was sold FIVE times. The
FIRST sale was under a colonial execution and
he brought 900! At the next sale the hammer
dropped at $500
The old man stands erect yet, and his
memory is wonderful What a fund of infor-
nation he carries under that head, as white as
the driven snow !
We freely confess that we DOTTED our hat
in his venerable presence, connecting, as he
does, the long and dreary years between 1852
and 1869 !-Terre- Hdute Journal.
