This Company, National in its character,
offers, by reason Of its Large Capital, Low
Rates OF Premium, and New Tables, thc
most desirable means of insuring life yet
presented to the public.
The rates Of premium, being largely re-
duced, are made as favorable TO the insur-
ers as those Of the best Mutual Companies,
and avoid all the complications and uncer-.
taipties of Notes, Dividends, and the mis-,
understandings which the latter are so apt
to cause the Policy holders.
Several new aud attractive tables are
now presented, which need only to be un-
derstood to prove acceptable to the public,
such as the lNCOME.P PRODUCING POLL.
CY and RETURN PREMlUM POLICY.
In the former, the policy. holder not only
secures life insurance, payable at death,
but will receive, If living, after q period Of
few years, an annual income equal to ten
per cent, (lOp per cent.) Of the par OF his poll
cy. In the latter, the Company agrees to
return to the assured the totas amount cfmeney
he has paid in, in addition to the amount ofhis
policy.

GENERAL GRANT A FAILURE.

From the N. y. Tribune
Upon General Grants accession to the
Presidency, great number of those who
had supported his election, with some who
had not sought Office at his hands, or ex-
pected him to bestow it unasked. He was
unable to crafty their aspirations. Most of
those whom he found in Office claimed that
they gave him their votes; some of these he
saw fit to retain; while the laws, of which he
is the servant, required him to reduce mate
rally the cost of the public service and the
number employed in it.
Our great civil war had rendered necessary
large increase of minor functionaries the
settlement of claims to pensions, ETC., had
excused the retention of hundreds in place up
to the close of Mr. Johnson's term; but now
law and justice alike demanded that they be
dismissed, to their own very general disgust.
Their lamentations, mingled with the howls
of the disappointed, made up doleful disso-
nance, whereof the only meaning deducible
runs thus:-'General Grant is found wanting
his administration is failure ~
Failure 2" how? in what? Have we not
peace and plenty in the land Is not our
flag displayed and respected on every sea
What foreign foe molests or threatens us !?
Who fears insurrection at home, or invasion
from abroad In which of our thirty-six
States are the masses wanting work, discon-
tented, suffering?
Consider our financial condition. Nearly
every State and municipality paying off debts
incurred in raising men for the war, while the
national debt has been reduced nearly thirty
millions in the four months that General
Grant has had his hand on the helm. The
public expenditure is falling off on every
side, while the revenue is up to high-water
mark. Even Indian wars, if unavoidable,
must be considerably reduced in cost by the
facilities for moving troops and stores
afforded by our two Pacific Railroads.
Yes; General Grant has failed to crafty
some eager aspirations, and has thereby in
Cured intense hatreds. These do not and
will not fail; and his administration will
prove at least equally vital. We shall hear
lamentation after lamentation over his fail
ure, from those whose wish is father to the
thought; but the American people let them
pass unheeded. Their strong arms bore him
triumphantly through the war and into the
White House, and they still uphold and sus-
tain him. They never failed, and never will!

rHE oorAN BANK RoRBERY.

From Che NJ " World
The robbery of the Ocean Bank was one of
the boldest, most systematic, and successful
bank robbie ries that have ever taken place in
this city, and We might perhaps add in this
country From the appearance of the build
ing and the number and variety of tools found
on the premises, the burglars must have been
a long time in planning their work. 1t APP
pears that they hired basement Office, con-
veyed their tools there, and between the
time at which the bank closed on Saturday
night and it's opening on Monday morning,
cut hole through the ceiling of this Office
and the floor above of sufficient size TO enable
them to crawl through, and thus reach the
private Office of the president of the bank.
Having accomplished this much, they went to
work at the doors of the vaults. These they
opened, one after the other, with keys, jack
screws, chisels, and powder, until they OBJ
tanned access to all the funds of the bank,
and departed with their plumber without being
discovered or molested. They were thorough
and complete in their work, for not single
vault OF safe was left unopened
On the shelves of one of the vaults was
large number of private boxes belonging to
patrons of the bank containing bonds, stocks,
and private papers left there for safe keeping.
The value of the bonds and stocks in these
boxes has not transpired, nor will until each
of the victims has informed the bank of the
contents OF MS DOX InlS loss tallS upon the
owners of the boxes, and not upon the bank
This is an important, though severe, lesson to
owners of bonds and stocks, and warning
not to rely upon their safety by placing them
in the vaults of banks. After the successful
exploits of the burglars in the Ocean Bank,
there is no telling what bank may not be
visited by them.
There are institutions chartered for the
purpose of taking care of bonds, stocks, and
private papers, which for small percentage
insure the safety of all securities left with
them. 1t must now be evident that it will
be much more economical to pay the percent
age than to risk bonds and stocks in the vaults
of banks. The success which attended the
labors of the burglars in the Ocean Bank not
only adds to the risk in holding that class of
securities, but will encourage the thieves to
commit new depredations and try their chances
in other banks as soon as the excitement has
sufficiently subsidized to enable them to make
the preliminary preparations without suspi-
cion. This affair has also demonstrated the
fact that the police offer little or no protection
against this class of robberies, for it appears
that the burglars were able to saw holes
! through floors, with hammer and chisel break
open some safes, and even blast others with
powder without the police knowing anything
about it, After this, there is no telling what
the burglars may not do under the eyes and
nose of our M. P.s.
