He still Lives.

TN WISCONSIN, many years ago, lived one M.
u Pearson, young man of great enterprise and
sagacity, and remarkable Judge of Groceries, in
which commodity he was, perhaps, the fairest
dealer in the State. He has done business every
where, from Wisconsin to Oregon. Fast young
men and the oldest connoisseur would use nothing
but NJ. Pearson's cigars and tobacco. Gold hunt
ers in Idaho would buy their groceries from him.
The old ladies in Oregon would always bring their
truck and trade with him, and the children would
never go to sleep until guaranteed full supply
of his candy. This same (young many M. Pear
son, still lives and is doing business in Albany,
Oregon, dealing largely in Groceries and Provis-
ions, and has very good stock of the above on
hand.

e,ttensen-Having taken lively interest in
the affairs of a large and destitute family, left
by an old resident of this city, who died Aug. 2,
1869, and who was insured in the New England
Mutual Life Insurance Company, we take pleas
ure in making the following statement for the in
formation of the public
A e. @. Miller was insured by ordinary Life
Policy No. I3,054, bearing date anuary 81 1858.
He paid annual payments to January 81, 1868,
inclusive. Since then nothing has been paid.
He died August 2, 1859. over eighteen months
after the last payment of premium. yet your
company working under the Equitable Lapse
Laws of Massachusetts, pays the widow and
orphans the whole policy, deducting only the pre-
MUM due while in all other companies doing
business here, about which we know anything, the
policy would long since have been forfeited,
By the New England Mutual, the widow has
been paid "a $50 SO. This consider munif-
cent more especially when we take iuto consid-
Grafton that the family would not have received a
cent from any other company doing business on
this coast. This, in estimation, is enough to
recommend this company above all others, This
is Equity, this Is mutuafiry. we, therefore, rec
oinmend this company to the public, as the only
company that has no forfeitures.
We herewith inc1ose you the Acknowledgements
of the widow. Respectfully, etc.,

Gentlemea-On my own behalf and in the name
of my orphan children, I beg to thank you, and
through you the New England Mutual Life In
surance Company of Bosom, for its munifieence
in paying me my terminated policy on the life of
my husband. On the 2ist of January, 1869,
misfortune compelled me to forego the payment
of the last prsu1iun-which non-payment in any
other company would have lost me my policy
but I am now overjoyed with the receipt of the
amount of the policy tless the amount of the un-
paid premium only), thanks to the equity of the
Massachusetts Lapse Laws, that must bless many
widows and their children. / recommend the
New England Mutual to all who would provide
| against possible misfortune. I sincerely thank
YOU again, gentlemen, for the payment, and also
| for your generous and gentlemanly assistance in
| the matter. Respectfully,
! BETSEY MILLER.

are so regarded by the Democrats and that
past dlherences concerning them should
therefore be no obstacle to a cordial
union for the redress of existing griev-
ances and the rectifcation of present
abuses. just in proportion as Democrats
adopt his advice will Republicans he ner.
suaded by his arguments. The Democrats of
massachusetts, hdCe adopted his advice bv
their unanimity in his nomination; for the
opinions expressed in his speech were well
known to be his before the delegates TO the
convention were chosen 1t NAV indeed he
said, and said with truth, that the whole Demo
cratic party in other States does not vet ac
cept all the positions of Mr.. Adams respect
ing obsolete questions: but it is euuallv true
they are fast coming to his conclusions II is
not to be expected that old Democrats in
other States, whose antecedents differ from
those of Mr. Adams, will be very forward to
proclaim that certain questions are finally de-
cided: but it will be seen, more and more
that those questions are EcarCtUly let aJoBe,
and that the whole stress and emphasis of
Democratic controversy is given to financial
and other living issues.
On the living questions to which Mr.
Adams devotes the greater part of his admir-
able speech, there is no difference of opinion
among Democrats: and as soon as political
discussion is confined to these without OBJ
struchon from dead issues the Democratic
party will make hosts of converts in every
Northern State. The Democrats of Massa-
chusetts have opened their canvass very early,
and the novelty of their having good pros
pect of success will cause the whole country
to watch their movements with deep interest
Their position is almost as singular as was
that of their Democratic brethren in Virginia
and Tennessee in the late elections; and if
they win as signal triumph their success
viii be likely to exert marked influence on
the future politics of the country.
The exhortation to courtesy and candor
with which Mr. Adams closes his speech is
suitable and timely, considering the asperity
into which political controversy is apt to run.
The advice suits well with Mr.. Adams in
born dignity of mind; and, happily, all the
Democratic leaders now most prominent in
culcate the same urbane lesson by example if
not by precept. Mr.. Pendleton, the rising
Democratic statesman of the West and Gov
ernor Hoffman, the rising Democratic states
man of the Middle States, as we'll as Mr..
Adams, the rising Democratic statesman of
New England, never descend to vituperation,
and are never thought of without personal
respect by their most strenuous political op-
ponentS.

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS SPEECH.

From the NJ Y. World.
The Democrats of Massachusetts, in their
State Convention, nominated John Quincy
Adams as their candidate for Governor, with
such alacrity, unanimity, and enthusiasm as
ought to be very pleasant to him and to con-
vince their fellow-D Democrats in other States
that if Massachusetts can be redeemed from
the radicals by any candidate, it can by Mr..
Adams This opinion will be confirmed by
a perusal of Mr.. Adams clear and able
speech. This speech is manly free from all
party clap-rap; neither seryile to Democrats
nor sparing to Republicans. Its chief merit
is the sincerity and openness with which it
deals with great questions; and its manifest
honesty cannot fail to have a very persuasive
effect on candid Republicans in Massachu-
setts. Mr.. Adams is himself a comparatively
recent convert from Republicanism, and we
can imagine nothing better calculated than
his address to take other Republicans along
with him.
This is the first time in many years when
tbe Democrats of Massachusetts have had
reasonable chance of carrying the State. The
re-enactment by the last Radical Legislature
of a stringent and odious prohibitory, liquor
law. has caused great discomfort and disgust
in the Republican ranks. Tens OF thousands
of Massachusetts, Republicans would gladly
nnite with the Democrats to upset tins med
dlesome tyranny, if convinced that they could
do so in consistency with their past record on
questions that have now become obsolete
One chief aim of Mr. Adams is to show them
that those questions are really obsolete, and

THE INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE.

From the n. Y. Herald.
Since the great fight between Heenan and
Sayres we have had no similar international
sensation as that which is now furnished by
the approaching contest between Harvard and
Oxford Universities. 1t is not to be denied
any longer that the Harvard crew, in their
anxiety to get up match, made great and
almost unexampled sacrifices. For time it
seemed as if Harvard could have no chance.
1t now appears even from the tone of the
English press, that the Harvard men have
fair chance to come off first in the contest
Should the Harvard men win what then? 1t
will be an immense cause of rejoicing in the
United States. 1t will be a source of gratif-
cation to Europe generally. All the world
will then see that ENGLAND is not necessarily
queen of the waters. 1t will increase the
prestige of the United States. Europe is
already bowing to us. Witness the conduct
of Spain. Europe will then bow to us more
and more Such a victory will calm and
soothe Senator Sumner, for it will be a Nassa-
chusetts victory, and it will be handsome
offset to the Alabama depredations.

heads of bureaux cannot see the necessity Of
lingering after the members of the Cabinet
have fed; and presently the chief clerks will
also take up their satchels aud umbrellas and
make for the cars; and why should the under
clerks remain behind unless they lack the
means requisite for emigration? Have they
not ms good a right as their superior officers
to the pleasures of general vacation?
Nobody will object to suitable recreation
for all our public servants and employees,
from the President down. 1t is a good thing
for them to get away from work at times
when they can be spared. and to refresh
themselves with the pure air Of the country,
the seaside, and the mountains. But. as the
laws now stand, they ought to arrange their
absenteeism so that the work of the public
will not be interfered with
When President Washington left the capi-
tai for prolonged excursion, it seemed best
to him that the President should be there
to attend to business in his place But the
plan of prolonged and persistent absence from
the seat of government with an occasional
flying visit of a day there which has now been
brought into vogue, is such a novelty that it
cannot receive the appreciation of the people
without a good deal of argument in its favor.
AT any rate, if it is to become a part of our
regular system of government, 1t ought to be
provided for by a law of Congress, duly
enacted and approved.
such law should prescribe that from the
lst of June to the 1st of September in each
year no executive business should be trans
acted at Washington except by General Spin
ner, that old hero of public duty, who would
remain there to receive and pay out the pub
lie money, with few faithful clerks and
watchmen, the relics of other days, to help
him. All the rest of our hard-worled off
cials would then go off to the watering places
or the fishing stations, or to their farms and
country-seats; or they could make journeys
to California or Europe. How they would be
refreshed and strengthened when they re-
turned to their useful tolls on the first of
September! OF course, Mr.. Robeson and
Admiral Porter would take the Tallapoosa or
some other national pleasure ship during
these vacations, and go sailing up and down
the coast enjoying the delicious sea-breezes.
Parties of their friends could accompany
them on these official yachting voyages, and
they could land occasionally for clam-bakes.
1t would be beautiful.
1t is hardly necessary to add that as the ex-
penses of living would be much increased
during the vacations we have proposed, Con-
gress ought to vote special allowance of fifty
per cent. more than the usual pay to every
office-holder at Washington for the three
months Of June, July, and August.

Father Mcganiara.


We regret to announce the loss to our
columns of the continuance of thos9 able
contributions which our readers have of late
seen, over the signature A V0aS. Rev.
Father J. v. Mcnamara, C. NJ, the author
of those erudite and classical articles is
about TO leave the city, and Consequently
we shall hereafter miss the pleasure and
edification so prodigally given by his facile
pen:
If we might be allowed to derive moral
from our loss, it would be in rejecting what
an amount of good can be done. through our
columns by little extra exertion ON the.
part of any of our eloquent and gifted cler-
gy. A weekly contribution would of conrse
devolye upon any one undertaking it a GER
tain amount of mental labor but would not
the frnit produced be1weli worthy of it, We
hope that Providence will smile on FAther
Mcnamara, wherever he may go, for his ex-
ertions in the-cause of Catholic journalism,
and that his mantle-will fall upon a willing
successor.
