A NEW and attractive advertise.
ment of the National Life Insurance Com.
pany, of Chicago, appears in this paper
We believe it good plan for every man.
and especially OF every young man, to se-
cure a life insurance policy. Every dollar
thus invested is so much laid up for a rainy
day; it is security against want for loved
ones in the event OF death, and SO much
saved while life lasts. On the endowment
plan, the money is sure to be returned at a
given time, with twice compounded inter
est on the natural life plan, a policy kept
paid up for fifteen or twenty years will,
at the expiration Of that time be worth
more than it has cost to the holder, and he
Can get his money back on it almost any
day thereafter. Taking policy in good
life insurance company is equivalent to de.
posting the amount in a savings bank each
year. Capt. LKESs, the agent for the 'Na-
tional Life" will be happy to explain fur.
tier the advantages Of life insurance in
general, and Of his company in particular.

Increased Pay for the Now York Custem
House Inspectors.

House inspectors.
Senator Fenton, according to Washington
telegram, has presented q memorial to Con-
grcss for increase of pay to the inspectors Of
the New York Custom House. As the Secre-
tary of the Treasury has the power to Increase
the pay the whole matter has been referred to
him. The compensation to these EN- ployes OF
the Custom House does not amount to the
wages of good mechanics, and yet no work.
ingmen have harder labor to perform. Four
dollars day is small pay for those who have
to be on duty from sunrise to sunset and often
during the night. They are exposed to the
most iuclement weather at times. The duty Of
clerks in the Custom House il much easier
and not 80 responsible, yet the clerks are
better paid. The faithful collection Of mil
lions upon millions of revenue depends upon
the inspectors, and 1t Is mistaken economy
to give them such poor salaries. Mon Of edu-
cation, probity and vigilance are required to
perform the duties properly, and 1t can hardly
be expected that many such can be found at
four dollars day. Mr.. Boutwell, Is no doubt
intent on economy, and we commend him
for it; but nothing is saved by poorly paying
those in responsible offices; besides, there are
other ways in which he could better practice
economy.

The Proposed New Expedition to the North
Pole.

The Proposed New Expedition to the North
Pole.
It appears from our Washington news that
the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs,
which has charge Of the matter of new ex-
pedition to the North Pole, has sent for DR..
Hayes, the well known Arctic explorer, to con-
suit with him as to the propriety of such an
expedition and ON appropriation for the object.
This is deserved compliment to DR.. Hayes,
for no man living is better able to give the de-
sired information. The subject of another ex-
pedition to the Arctic, with view Of reach
ing the North Pole, has been urged upon
Congress by Captain Hall, that intrepid and
daring traveller, who spent long time about
the Arctic region and among the Esquimaux.
The credit 10 due to him, therefore, for re-
viving and urging this matter. There
seems to be . liberal disposition in Con-
gress, too, to favor and to make an
appropriation for another expedition. This is
right. The American government should be
first in exploring tho Arctic circle and in
developing the scientific facts which may result
from such an exploration. Our territory now
borders on that part Of the world, and at no
very distant day the whole Continent must
belong to us. But whatever the government
may do let 1t be done well. Let the expedi
ton be worthy Of this great country aDd o.
this age Of science. There are many ipportan,
facts in astronomy, geology, peteorology, the

Reconsirucsinx tho Supervisors.

BY our Albany reports it will be seen that
Mr. Tweed yesterday offered in the Senate c
bill to abolish tho Board Of Supervisors for
this county as now constituted, and to organize
new board, to consist Of the Mayor, Recorder
and Aldermen, to be chosen under the new
Charter. This is good proposition. Much of
the clamor made against tho new Charter was
because it did not abolish board so univer-
sally supposed TO be corrupt. Aud we believe
that all the suggestions were to the effect that
the Aldermen should perform the duties of the
Supervisors. But board Of supervisors as
county officials is necessary part Of govern
ment machinery under the State constitution,
and therefore had to be treated in q sopa-
rate bill from one simply organizing city
government. The present bill merely gives q
double function to the same men, and thus
docs away with the cumbersome machinery of
separate county and city governments for the
same machinery. Should this bill pass, and
one part Of the county government Of the city
be thus simplifed. our legislators should reflect
whether the other strongholds Of County gov
ernment in the city-the Office Of Sheriff espe-
cially-may not be modified to public adyan-
tape

magnetic forces and currents Of the globe,

as the nero fact OF reaching the North Pole,

consequently, In the hands Of the ablest men
and OF those who have had valuable expe-
rience. There should be corps Of tho most
competent gentlemen in every department Of
science In connection with hardy, experienced
and practical navigators. An expedition so
organized will rebound to tho honor of the
country, and the people viii never begrudge
hundred thousand or two hundred thousand
dollars for the purpose.

SEorARrAN SoHooLs.-The State Senate
yesterday tabled resolution repeating the
clause of the tax levy for 1869 making appro-
priatious for sectarian schools by vote 81
sixteen to thirteen. The question is one that

takes hold of 1t and settles it, 1t may come into

JUEY DIFFIcuLTIEs.-Peo who follow the
proceedings in the Mcfarland case and count
the steps that seem necessary to precede the
choice Of jury, will be apt to wonder why
any man should sit on jury unless be abso-
Iutely wishes. None need sit on a jury but
those who wish to for some reason or another,
end these are dangerous either for the Com
monwealth or the prisoner. The present state
OF tho law with regard to jurors is such as to
exclude all but ignoramuses. People who
have not formed opinions on prominent topics
do not live in this town.

A CHARTER FOR THE Stock EXCHANGE
The members Of the Stock Exchange have ILL
advisedly, aud doubtless in emulation Of GER
tain politicians, sought charter at Albany,
where bill has been introduced ''to incorpo-
rate the New York Stock Exchange" Should
it become law it will subject them to a raid
from the lobby every year to their everlasting
torment. The gas companies, ferry companies
and like corporations are only poor game in
comparison to such plucking as will be af-
forded by an incorporated Stock Exchange.
No HONOR AMONG THIEVES. There is now
on his way to one Of tho State prisons Of New
Jersey tall and athletic policeman who is
the victim OF ingratitude. He permitted the
escape Of prisoner. The prisoner months
afterward was witness against him, and for
that fact he goes up. This is as 1t ought to
be. May all the prisoners who are assisted in
their escape by policemen testify as this pris-
oner did. It will do much for police discipline.
Now Gil you policemen take warning hereby.

DooToRED TO DEAiH.-Recently doctor
up town gave his patient in the course of one
day fourteen grains Of the sulphate Of NOR
phine. This is equal to eighty-four grains Of
opium. 1t does not appear that the patient
was in the habit Of using opium, and If he was
not this was an overwhelming quantity. 1t
would kill man whose brain was In oil the
vigor of health unless he was stimulated by
active infammatory disease. But the man to
whom the medicine was given had q brain
weakened by the use of rum, and was then
sleepless merely because Of the loss Of cerebral
power. The practice was bad, therefore, and
jury Of doctors would perhaps use stronger
term in describing it. Added to this bad
practice was another on the part Of the same
doctor Of writing blind prescriptions, which
rendered 1t impossible for another doctor,
called in the emergency, to take any intelli-
gent steps to relieve the victim. The two
points of bad practice caused death, and the
Coroner lays on the doctor and the apothecary
the awful weight of its "censure."

THE LATE EARruQUAKE IN MEXICO. -
Further Particuiars.-A letter from the
City of Mexico thus speaks of the late
earthquake:
The latest news from private sources give
full particulars of the terrible earthquake
which nearly ruined the entire city of Oaxa-
ca on the lth of this month. About half
past II P. NJ. M..several hard shocks were felt,
causing destruction of life and property ali
over the city. The motion was osciliating
at hrst from south to north, then vertical
Or trembling. The shocks lasted about fifty-
eight seconds, and in force, destruction and
severity surpassed anything of the kind that
has ever taken place in this State. Oaxaca
is probably one of the strongest, most firmly
con structed cities in Mexico, yet the condi
ton OF houses since the earthquake is truly
deplorable. some of them in complete ruins.
The palace is almost destroyed, and will re-
qu're thousands of dollars before it can be
made suitable for occupation. San Francis
co is one mass OF ruins, and all Of the corri-
cors OF the old convent Of San Juan de Dois
fell, burying four persons and wounding
many more. The clock tower, which was
only finished on the 9th of May, was shaken
down, passing through the top of the build.
ing into the Supreme Court rooms and
through the floors of these into the portals
of the palace. The total number of persons
killed is about one hundred, while it is inn
possible to ascertain the number of the
wounded. The shock continued the next
day, (Thursday. ) and about quarter to one
a very severe one was felt. Friday there
were one or two very severe shocks. Terror
reigns supreme, and upon the conntenances
of all anxiety and fear Of greater evil are
plainly depicted. All remained in the pub,
lie squares and outside of the city for fear
that greater shocks would come, and, on
account of its dilapidated condition, would
make complete ruin Of the entire city.
