What has been done by the National
. Tife

1t is too late TO talk Of the importance Of in
suring ones life for the benefit Of those dcpcn-
dant upon him. What was, some years ago,
accounted by many scrupulous and doubling
ones as "a tempting of Providence" has be.
come the recognized duty, as surely due to a
mans family as the daily labor for bread,
clothes, and II home. The number of new in
surance companies which are yearly started
upon their course prove the extent Of popular
feeling in favor of this benefcient provision
The two plans upon which insurance is offered
the Stock and the Mutual - are indus
Tiously presented by their respective adher
ents, and the merits of both fully discussed.
A significant indication of the popular
choice is found in the great success of the Ma
tional Life Insurance Of America, which be-
gan business IN August last, and has, since that
time, boen rapidly extending its agencies
throughout the country, as we'll us in the Do
minion of Canada Upon the first of May,
only nine months after i,s beginning work, the
Company had issued Ave thousand pohcies--a
success unprecedented In the history Of insur-
ancc. This Is purely n stock company, for
which thppe IL this to say that whifo 1t does
not always make as glowing pr0mises to the
insured ns some of the companies organized
upon the other plan, II faithfully fulflls every
letter of the plain business contract which II
makes with its customers 1t has low rates for
n certain fixed return thcpe are NO possible
uncertainties of notes or dividends, an no com.
plicallons or dlsappointmcnts at the death of
the insured. The simplicity of the system and
the certainty of the position occupied, arc re-
concentrations too strong to be overlooked
We have spoken of the largo business al
ready dane by this Company, 1t has also met
with losses by death Of the insured, but these
losses have been of such character and 20
promptly adjastsh, 1hat tl'ey have strengthen

MOUNTAIN of CRYSTAL SALT.-A Cali
fornia paper says that sin the Pahnagar
district, in southeastern Navada, about
one hundred and eighty miles from Aus
tin, is n remarkable momtain of pare
salt, seventy miles south of the silver
mines. II is about five miles long and
six hundred feet high. The body of the
mountain is crystal salt, OF unknown
depth. The salt is almost chemically
pure, does not tielqueser when exposed
to the atmosphere, requires blasting ike
rock, and is as transparent rs glass. 1t
could Nc mined with almost no cost !;
and, If transportation was provided,
cohd supply the continent" We have
heefi shown n brick of crystal salt cut
from this mountain with an ordinary
jacknife. 1t resembles, exactly, in ap-
pearamee, Block Of clear glass. 1t is
the putest crystal salt we ever saw, Is
very hard, appears free fronA all impuri-
ties, except q very tFifte of alum; aud
we are assured that, without any prepar-
ation wfutever except crushing, it will
preserve Neat equal 10 the choicest salt
known to commerce.. The only use
made Of IL, so far, except the trihc con-
sumed by miners and hunters for table
purposes, is n faux for reducing certain
ores; bur, If a railroad were built to con-
meet with II the eiviiized world Il would
supply at once tho whole Pacific coast.
At present il is. one OF the natural won
aers of an almost une1plored wilderness,
We are told that one face of the noun
tain, where the salt is partially exposed,
flashes in the sunlight hke an enormous
diamond, and is worth travelling miles to
see.

see no coming man for his place no
one who can stand in his shoes, who can

serene victory over himself. M)s. of
his wisest and ablest associates, men in-
spircd with the traditions Of the church,

difference and disintcgration, in response
TO the elements of change and revolu,
tion and recreation that follow the ban
pcrs Of civilization and of democracy

Advertisins Patronags.-We extract
and fully indorse the following remarks
from the jamestown IN. ~ journal Of
Ssesnt date; Ina general ssuso, the effort
on the part Of any merchant TO get trade
without advertising IS s wrong to ether
business men in Cbe place. Whether a man
believes in advertising or not be wills con-
ceds that the newspapers Afs a great help to
theplsce, and thst business amounts to very
little in places that don't support one or
m-rs Of them, Absence Of newspapers is q
bad sign for placs in business point Of
view, as absence Of churches is in morals,
or school houses in educstion. The men
who support the village paper do more to
build up the place, and make it prosperous,
and draw trade there, than all other infu-
snces combined Therefore the man who
tries. to come in and taxa the benefits Of
prosperity without contributing to sustain
Il tries to dead head on the rest Of the
business men, and does them wrong. -
