THE PORE PREPARING FOR TuH Council.
The Roman correspondent OF the Pail
Mall Gd-eRs writes, under date OF August
IS: "Three days ago the Pope visited the
convent Of the Oblatcs, at Torde Speech,
very large building, where he has ordered
apartments to be prepared for the blshops,
as the sisterhood, being reduced to very
small number, occupy but portion Of the
structure. On entering the convent hc ex-
claimed, laughingly, i come to make my
peace with the abbess, who looks n little
angry because | have taken away some
apartments from the sisters for the bishops.
The Holy Father afterwards went TO n house
near Mount Aventine (Cartonrs,) where he
has engaged several apartments. Lodgings
for the bishops have also been provided at
the Palazzo Semi, at san Calso, al the con-
vent of the DomlnlCAns, the convent of the
Lazarists at Mount CltoriO, IN the house of
the canons of Santa Maria MaggiOrc, the
convent Of San Plctro In MOutoriO, aud sew
eTal other converts, aud In the vast pile be-
longing to the canOns OF st. Peters. 1t Is
now believed that three hundred bishops
will DO the guests Of the Pope, who will also
provide lodging and maintenance for their
secretaries and wallets. Prince Torlonin has
offered the Pope a palace In the Piazza
Scosisa Calralli, for the use OF lis visitors,
and French gentleman named Grand
jacquet has expressed his Willingness to
board and lodge bishop at his own cost.
But no member Of the Roman aristOCracy
has followed Prince TorlOnn's example,
and there Is no sign that Grindjacqucls
abound"

The latest report of the Surgeon General
would seem to indicate that the employment
OF colored troops in the army is poor econ
omy on account of their inferior powers of
endurance to white troops. During last year
among white soldiers, the proportion of
deaths TO cases treated was as to OF; among
the colored soldiers, as 1 to 55; and the dis
proportion of sick to well was quite as mark
ed. Two years ago the ratio cf deaths among
white troops to that of cases treated was as
1 to 50; while among coiored troops it was
as 1 to 20. Gen. Fry once showed that of
the 100000 colored troops in service during
the war, 26,211 died of disease-a rate OF but
to Z, exclusive OF deaths from wounds. On
the other hand, of the 2,500,000 white
troops, only 1885, ,120 died of disease-a rate
of but 1 to 16. Thus the power of resisting
disease in the colored soldier was only one
half that of the white. These estimates in
clude both ordinary and extraordinary SER
vice in peace and war. 1t may be added,
however, in justice to the colored troops, that
they make up in fidelity what their white
comrades do in hardihood; for the desertion
among the latter on the Plains is as dispro-
portionate as the death rate in the former.

Name more than ever unremunerative and its
prosecution well-nigh impossible, San Fl an
CISCO writer makes the following confident
statement which ought to command the at
tention OF all who have the good of the "Pine
Tree State" at heart: "We can build vessels
much cheaper on the Pacific coast than even
the State of Maine. Our forests supply a bet
ter class of timber; We manufacture our own
pitch, tar, turpentine and roSin on the spot;
the same regions produce the finest of iron and
copper; hemp is grown in abundance, almost
in the same localities; we manufacture run
ming and standing rigging of as good qualities
as the imported, and for lower prices; and
when the demand comes we can make as good
sail cloth. Scarcely anything will have to be
imported, while Maine is compelled to go.
abroad for all she requires except timber The
labor of skilled artisans commands higher
price in California; but not enough to counter
balance the difference of expenditures in many
o;her respects. Another great element in thi
connection is the fact that we have, and ca II
obtain to any required extent, cheaper labor
than our Eastern or European competitors.
The Chinese and Japanese can work the pro-
ducts of our forests, soil and mines, at less ex-
pense than the same labor can be performed
for in either the Atlantic States or Europe"

Policies Issued as Good as
02ay United States Bonds.
Policies Valuable in Life as well
as at Death +!

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 only equitable manner Of dividing the earnings
OF Lie Insurance Company. The Contribution
Plan wasfirst conceived by Mr.. D. P. Fackler, now
Actuary of this Company, and has been adopted 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 Life Insurance Compa-
ny!
The BROOKLYN LIFE, unlike some of
the so-called Mutuals, pays no percentages or
largesses to either Directors or officers neith-
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
| BROOKLYN LIFE is open, candid, econom-
| ica, and prudent; no one man power, as in
the so-called Mutuals, but Closely scrutinized
by careful, experienced, and reputable busi-
ness gentlemen, who have received but an
equitable interest on their capital invested.
| By its care, skill, prudence, and economy the
| BROOKLYN LIFE, as Mixed Company
has fully exemplfied 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:
sat 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."-P XC.,
New York Insurance Report for 1858.
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. --sr
| The success which the "BROOKLYN" has achiev-
| ed, fully exemplifed in its rapid and healthiul
growth, is convincing proof OF the confidence re-
posed by the public in its soundness, integrity and
| liberality.
