Company being a Home Institution, it should
be preferred by citizens of the South for ma
ny reasons. We will, however. enumerate
only two or three.
l The money invested in it is retained at
home, where it assists in promoting Western
and Southern trade and commerce, in build
ing up towns and cities. in developing our
rich mineral and agricultural resources, in
building our great lines of railroad. and in
cnltivating our boundless prairies. For these
reasons Southern and Western men should
insure in it.. ..saE! Z. --s-. ... -~g
2. As its funds are all Invested where high
rates of interest prevail, it can grant insurance
cheaper and pay better dividends than any
Eastern Company. For this reason all per-
sons desiring to make a certain and safe pro-
vision for their families. should insure in it.
3. Its Local Board Of Louisiana Directors
being composed of men of high standing in
the community. is a sufficient guarantee that
widows and orphans will be protected in their
rights, when policies issued by this Company
mature by reason of death or otherwise. This
feature is peculiar to this company, Ono ether
Institution beyond the limits of the State hav-

The comparative merits of the thor

an interesting but delicate subject Of
discussion among racing men. Lex

and Vandal stand eOnfessedly at the
head of the list of racing stations.
Lexington rejOices most 10 the per-
iormance of his great two-year-Old
son Hamburg, who is credited with
the fastest mile on record at that age.
bennington can boast Of such flyers
as Lynchburg, Enquirer fwhO at Mem
phis beat Hamburg at even weights),
Miss Alice, Annie Mace, etc.-a bright
galaxy Of fleet ones for any horse in
his first season. Eclipse is well sus-
tanned by such great racers as Nara
gansett and Fanny Ludlow, who has
shown greater speed than any horse
on the turf for over a mile. Cottrill
does high credit to Daniel Boone as a
thoroughbred stallion, for the speed he
showed in his race at Jerome Park
AIrly electrified the lOOkers-On, and
was perhaps never excelled, if fequaled,
on the American turf. HelmbOld and
Maggie b. b. do honor to Australians
merits as a sire; and HerzOg and Yer

to distinction to be soon forgotten.

The advantages of Tasmania are set
forth in glowing terms by a cores
pOndent OF the London Times, who
writes in strain worthy of Robins:
" Besides the usual cereals, which are
largely cultivated, every fruit and
flower known to US here are grown
in Tasmsnia iB the greatest profusion
and the highest perfection. The hop
has long since flOurished in the land :
oranges and grapes ripen in the open
air, the lover OF green figs may pluck
them from his own fig-tFee, and even
tho pine, though not of Tasmanian
growth, is imported from Australia,
clcsa at hand, and is sold, ripe and
full-fayOred, at very Insignificant
cost. There may be seen in this 1av-
ored land, hedges Ofraspberries seven
feet high, of impenetrable thickness,
and covered with fruit Of the finest
size and quality. Is the emigrant
fond of fowersf Tasmania is YER
liable tiower-garden. AL our old
friends are there, and no need to
house them for half or any portion oi
the year. Instead of Ivy ne can en-
vel0pe bis cottage with bright-blos-
sOmed geraniums, and as for creepers,
the eelerlty of their growth Is only
equalled by the marvellous beanstals
OF fairy tale renown. The want OF
population is the curse of Tasmania
and the only reverse to the bright

Bakers Nile Exploration.

Advices received per ocean cable
from London have it that Sir samuel
Baker and his exploring party had
been heard from. On the lst of Jan
uary, the date of the latest news, they
were at the head-Waters of the Nile
and all well. Or Sir Samuel and his
expedition we entertain the very
highest hopes. OF all recent African
explorers, with the single exception,
perhaps, of Livingstone, and that
barely, ne Is the greatest. But for
Livingstone we should never have
had Baker; yet, while we wait for
the return OF Livingstone and the re-
suit OF his final explorations, we must
admit that Baker has solved the great
problem OF all the past-haS traced to
its source ths father of rivers, the
mighty and generous Nile, Baker is

had failed to trace the Nile to higher
source than had been accomplished
by Baker, and that in all probability
he was now far on his way on the line
of the Congo toward the Atlantic
coast. In that case the two great
trav elers will not meet on African
soil. We are glad to believe that Liv-

once more been so far successful. Let

extortion in rates of transportation.
Mr.. Wilkinson made speech on

as much from the tariff and taxation
as 1t did from eXtortion of transp0Tta-
tion, exacted by railroad mOnopOlies.
Mr.. Galladay made g speech in fa-
yor of the doctrine set forth in Mr..
Mungen's speech before recess-repu-

Referring to his remarks, Mr.. Galla-
