freshly translated from the German or Latin
They are divided into five parts Words for

iDgly of Christianity, are, or are not ironical
DR.. Macdonald holds that they are not; and he
adduces arguments from the other works Of
Gibbon, from his autobiography, general opn-

position is unfounded There is much in

Policies Issued as Good as
07ay 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 Life Insurance Company. The Contribution
Pian was first 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-caled Mutuals. The management of The
BROOKLYN LIFE is open, candid, econom-
ical, and prudent; no one man poover, as in
the so-called Mutuals, but closely scrutinized
by careful, experienced, and reputable bust
ness gentlemen, who have received but an
equitable interest on their capital invested.
By its care, skill, prudence, and economy the
BROOKLYN LIFE, as a Mixed Company
has fully exemplifed 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: +
'It does not always follow, as is
sometimes supposed, that a purely
Mutual Company is the most prof
AU0UAO OAO W 1uSuICus ulAtu
Companies. or those substantially
Mutual, may, by superior skill and
other advantages, actually make
the largest dividends of surplus
profits to pOlicy-hOlders."-Page XC,
New York Insurance Report for 1858. g.
In the BROOKLYN LIFE no
POlfcy-hOlder can ever be assessed
for any loss or deficiency---in Mu-
tuals the POlicy-holders alone are
responsible. -.a.r 'l''
The success which the "BROOKLYN" has achev-
ed, fully exemplifed in its rapid and healthful
growth, is a convincing proof OF the confidence re-
posed by the public in its soundness integrity, and
liberality.

The MORSE BANoUET.-The banquet in hon
or of Prof Morse, inventor of the electric tele-
graph, in New York, Tuesday night, was
worthy tribute to that man of genius. Chief
Justice Chase, who presided, made but brief
speech in which there seems but little that is
remarkable. Prof. Morse in response made
some interesting statements in regard to the
early history of telegraphy:
The telegraph was conceived in 1892 in an
American ship on her voyage from Havre to
New York. In 1885 machine was exhibited
in operation at the New York City University.
In the winter of 1873 the subject was brought
before Congress. The English semaphore
meanwhile was in operation. The House COM
mittee of commerce reported tavorably on it,
but no further action was taken by Congress
fof four years. Abiding to the suggestion
now made of attaching the telegraph lines
throughout the country to the Post Office De-
partment, Professor Morse said that the idea
was not new enc, but was broached by him
self in his correspondence with the Secretary
of the Treasury in 1887. The House commit.
tee of finance favored such scheme, but when
the subject came up again four years later, it
was received with ridicule When Mr.. Ken
nedy of Maryland moved to appropriate $4,000
to be applied under the direction of the Post
master General to experiments in telegraping
Mr.. Cave johnson proposed that one-hah the
appropriation should be laid out on Mesmer-
ism, and Mr.. Houston claimed share for Mil
lerism. Mr., Mason Of Ohio objected that these
amendments were not offered in good faith,
and the chairman avowed himself unable to
Judge that they were not bona tide until sci
entific investigation should demonstrate that
the magnetism of mesmerism and that of the
telegraph were not sufficiently alike to make
the amendment analogous to the original bill
The amendments were, however, rejected and
tne hill laid aside to be reported 1t finally
passed by vote of only 80 to SO. After the
value of the invention was established Mr.
Morse offered it to our government for 500 900,
but Mr.. Cave johnson having then become
Postmaster General the matter was allowed to
drop out of notice, and Mr.. Morse, finding that
the government was not likely to make any
arrangement with him, looked to other sources
for reimbursement for the expenses he had in
Cured.
