Mr.. EDITOR: One of the greatest evils
the business portion of this community has
to contend against, and one to which your
correspondent Virgil does not allude is
the well-known disposition of the officials
OF the different railroads to be as disoblig-
ing rs possible. I have heard merchants
say that they preferred rather TO forego the
demand for a just claim, than to run the
risk of accrated feelings that would GER
tainiy ensue if the attempt was made to col
lcct. This is a pretty state of affairs, in
deed. 1t was well, perhaps, when there
was but one line by which we could receive
or despatch freight; but now we have COM
petition, and expect more very soon. [ re-
specially call the attention of the princi
pal officers OF the roads to require their
agents to act more gentlemanly towards the
patrons of their respective lines. This may
seem to be a trivial matter, but the writer i
certain that this conduct has occasioned
the loss to one road of at least $40, 900 in
freights during the last fe months.

miserable when the digestive organs are i'm

omaciated; the mind depressed, and mean-

The great Life Insurance Company of the
United States is the National, of which Jay
Cooke IL 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.OOO,-
600, and the applications daily increasing
Another reason is, that the plan of the Ma
tlonal 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 its glttering promises, but
gives you cash dividend in hand before
you start. How? A young clerk, age
twenty, pays S12.95 year, and secures
policy in the National for 81, 900. In other
companies he pays S19.S9-a difference of
6.94, or cash dividend of over fifty-two
per cent. This difference will enable him
to take out policy for $500 more; 80 that,
should he die, his family secures $500,
and pay no more premium than other com
panies charge for $1,000. This don't look
like what is supposed by some to be the
case, that the company divide all the profits
among themselves. Why, the fact is, they
give you 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

like ourselves, seeking health, and upon in

history of its medicinal virtues. He was
delighted and surprised, and determined to

glorious success for himself and suffering
humanity. The celebrated PLANTATION BIT-
