Cnrd-Southern Life Insurance Conn
Pany, Atlanta Department..
To the People Of South. Carolina ::
The above Company was organized in 1865.
In consequence Of the wholesale forfeiture OF
Southern policies by Northern companies. The
unparalleled success of the enterprise has
forced several of these companies to restore
their Southern policies, from the fact that they
could not operate in our midst without the ap-
pearance Of honesty.
We keep all our money at home to build up
our impoverished country-every dollar of
premium being safely invested in the State
from which it is derived. The institution ia
purely Southern, and hence should appeal
with great force to the patriotism and sympa-
thy Of every Southern heart
IT'S not our purpose to make war on other
companies, but to exhibit the special adyan-
tages offered by this purely Southern Compa-
ny-founded on patriotism and solid wealth
Its ratio OF assets to liabilities-the true test
OF company's strength, is second to none on
this continent-being nearly 800 to 100.
whenever and wherever we have presented
inc claims OF this Company, it has not only
enhsted the sympatbies of our people, but has
also secured their hearty cooperation. We
nave secured 500 policies in Soxth Carolina
since the 10th OF February. 'We number
among our Directors Gen. Wade Hampton and
Col. "m. johnston, gentlemen well known to
every citizen OF South Carolina. We appeal
personally to the people Of South Carolina to
assist in pushing forward this dese1vedly
popular Southern institution.

The sun is said to appear now
through the telescope as if it had the
smallpox, so large and numerous are
the spots on it, one Of which is about
as long as One-twenty-eighth of the
solar diameter, although astronomers
give no hint OF its area. This spot is
black at the center, and has serrated
edges, while its penumbra is wavy at
the edge, and stretches in a curve to
the right, preserving the general shape
of the umbra. There are several in
distinct spots to the left, and the whole
system of them is rapidly undergoing
change. Another group, about an
eighth of the SUMS diameter, followed
the one just spoken of, coming from
the eastern limb in the northern hem
isphere. The penumbTa of this con-
tained several separate umbrae, which
were all intensely black.

Stewart In his Store.

Stewart gives 10 his retail house a
good share Of personal supervision.
He arrives every morning punetually
at 10 o'clock, and remains usually an
hour and half. He is usually there
again from to $50 in the afternoon.
On the morning visit he eOnsults with
Mr.. Tellur, the General Superintend-
ent, and never fails to 90 over the en-
tire establishment to gain q personal
knowledge of its condition. He en-
quires of the clerks how articles are
selling, and stores away the answers
in the shelves Of his memory; and
when he finds any line of goods a
drug he orders them marked down.
saying "Let US see if people will take
them at that" if they do not, he Or
ders a further reduction, for it is an
inexorable rule with him not to carry
dead stock. 1t has been said of him
that he would rather give away goods
outright than carry them over a sea-
son; but it has not been asserted that
he ever was reduced to that extrem-
ity. He avoids it in the first instance,
perhaps, by this direct personal charge
OF his retail house. He knows every
day what is in it, and exactly how
everything is selling; and he is great
ly aided in getting rid of goods of
questionable pattern by his fntuitivs
knowledge Of the fluctuations of pop
ular taste. WOman's whims domi-
nate the dry goods market, which is
of course, caprieiOus as April weather;
but Stewart is never at fault, and
promptly taeks with every change.
Perhaps he sees the signs of their COM
ing during those hours at his retail
house in the morning and in the after
noon but if the knowledge be so gain
/ ed, it is absorbed without any out
ward sign. He seems, as he stands at
the chief cashiers desk, to be totally
unconscious of the presence of any
| one except the subordinate with whom
he is eOnversing, and as he makes his
way through the crowds Of ladies to
the Broadway door, where his carriage
with span of splendid Eorrels at
tatehed, is waiting, he moves without
a sign that he is aware of their pres
ence, unless he happens to meet a per.
sOnal acquaintance, when a polite
raising of the hat is all that marks
the encounter. His attention during
these afternoon visits is chiefly direct
ed 70 gathering an idea of the day:
business, and he rarely even then
makes any extended inspection of the
premises.-'A Monument Of TFdde''-
