U. s. VICE CoNsUL.-We note the appointment of
Jonathan S. Christie, Jr., of New Jersey, as Vice
Consul at this port. Mr.. Christie has been employed
as clerk in the Consulate, and his appointment will
doubtless meet the approval of parties interested.
This change will permit the Consul to visit the other
islands of the group without seriously ~incommoding
the shipping and mercantile community, and Tighten
the very onerous duties of the Consul during the
shipping seasons. -
THE SOLO, is the singular name of the ship
bearing the North German Confederacy flag, which
recently arrived in our harbor with Chinese
coolies. A solo is said to be a tune, air, or strain,
to be played by a single instrument, or sung by a
single voice. The &c single voice - so far, in favor o!
the coolie trade is that of the Hawaiian Government.
We trust it will be so Lolc that no other North Ger
man ship will be found to enter into the service.

BARBADOS Mutual Life Assurance
Society

BARBADOS Mutual Life Assurance Society
ESTABLISHED IN 1910.
INCORPORATED BY SPECIAL ACT 1851.
CHIEF OFFICE:
NO. 20, HIGH STREET, B~RIDGETOWN, BARBADOS
2IlHIS Society, which confines its bust
"a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that OF
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and sufi-
clent 10 create large SURPRISES, out Of
which Reversiouafy Bonuses, averaging
p per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among t. g
Members Of the Society.
Its career, during a period of 80 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives Of persons residing in this part of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabitiug
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows
the Premiums required to assure $500,
for the whole term, upon a single life -
, 1870-07-12

Assurances of every description on sin
Gle lives are granted by the Society for

Assurcrs wishing to discontinue the
payment of their Premiums, may either
dispose Of their Policies to the Society
upon equitable terms, or obtain a free
Policy for a reduced amount.
Loans are granted to Members on the
Security of their Policies.
All claims occurring by death are
promptly met within 3 months after salts
factory proof of such death has been re-
Ceived by the Society.
Strict Investigations into the position
of the Society are made quinquennially,
and the surplus then existing is allotted to
the Members, after a sufficient sum has
been set aside for the purposes of the
Reserve Fund. The next investigation

1Ieiy TOO large for his Conservative no

Mr., Secretary Fish, then, is behind the

acG, cftAo country for The State Depart
no.t W. have seen enough 0fhis feeble
statcmaashlP in the matter Of the permit
to the Canadian steamer ChicOru to pass
through the Sault ST. Marie Canal to
satisfy US upon this point. He is a most
amiable, pleasant, and excellent man but
he Is not the man for the State Depart
ment in these progressive times. The
House of Representatives, we have reason
TO think, is of the same opinion and if,
from its approaching action on the Cuban
question, we are favoured with a change
or two in the Cabinet, we shall hail il as
an event upon which to congratulate the
President, Congress, and the country.
(Nelc York TimeS).
Emancipation in Cuba will simplify one
political problem, lho solution Of which
cannot, in the nature of things, be long
deferred. 4 free State can more readily
be admitted into our confederacy than a
slave State. The opposition Of a rich
and powerful class who might, from oDyi-
ol8 motives, resist political change, must
also by this step be seriously diminished.
The possible djsaTtction Of the ~sorvilc
class, which might ordinarily be expected
10 have an opposite bearing, we have
tested, and found to be of little moment.
It is likely that the Spanish politicians
who have devised the proposed scheme
Of emancipation, while duly influenced
by The progressive spirit that fills the air,
and no doubt influenced by philanthropic
considerations also, have been mainly IN
spiycd Ivy a wish to fix the "lovalty" Of
Cuba, and to prevent her impending era
vltotion to the United States. BE their
intent what it may, We have cause to re-
jolce in the good il promises to bring
about, and can well afford to bide our
time as regards its incidental relation to
our own national interests. The union
Of the Great Republic with the'Quecu Of
Jae AntiIlea is not likely to he long posi-
poaad, and emancipation in the latter,
bringing US one step nearer each other in
usage and feeling sounds more like pub
fishing the bauns Of marriage than for
bidding them.

DR., Campbell's Opinion.
DR.. Duan's Opinion.

Americans and Europeans will find climate
here more congoniel to them, and one in which
they can carry on all the laboriou8 exertions to
which they have been accustomed. The Island
possesses all the advantages that man can desire
for every industrial purpose. The slight deri-
walton of temperature experienced during the
entire year, and the regular alienation of the
sea and land breezes, which modify it, render
the island a most desirable residence for invaIids.

Offended Without Cause.

The Arizona MINER takes offence because of a remark made in this journal, elicited by a tele. gram which stated that one-hlnth of the popula. ton of Southern Arizona had been killed by the Apaches within the previous six months, the pre- cedlng paragraph speaking of the wonderful rich ness of the Nulture nline. The editor Of that ta- per Is very thin-skinned if he gets ruiiled so eas " Will he deny that fife Is very insecure in that Territory The very number of the MINER i'm winch his accusation of jealousy of the Nulture mine on our part was hinted at, contains long account Of Indian outrage and murder We know that Arizona Is rich in minerals perhaps rlchcr than any other portion of the United States and the richer the better we are pleased instead oi being Jealous of It's superiority, and We know that the Federal Government has not half done its duty toward that Territory, or 1t would have made good Indians" of every Apache long ago. and so made the country safe for prospecting and mnng; and we have many time written in this straln Tor ten years past Has the editor of lhe MlNkR done any more than that in the interest of AriZonaf We think not. And it Is silly and ah suru Tor hiIn or any one else to get offended he cause we hint that there is danger that n nros pector or miner there may receive an Apache bar Derng operation that will not improve the an pearanee or his organ of trmness.-S.

THE telegraph has announced that Mir Halstead, editor of the Cincinnati Commercial and Mir. Wash. Mclean, of the Enquirer, have gone to Canada to fight duel. The following paragraph, from the Enquirer, is a specimen of the talk which preceded the challenge; "We could have secured the silence of MT Halstead, and he knows it; but We refused tc pay the price asked. Hence his malignant personal defamation. And with a view to bringing the natter to an abrupt conclusion, we now post Mir. Murat Hnistead as a low-toned, vulgar liar, blackguard, and coward. Mir.

Mining Summary.
WALKERS DISTRICT.

WALKERS DISTRICT.
 The Eureka mill Is now idle The recent test made by MT. Herman, for Solomon Shoup, Cal. Jackson, and others, has satisfied all concerned that the ores of the district are richer than they had any idea of, and that Mir. Herman understands well how to work them. The furnace worked well, and most of the gold brought down-several pounds-was extracted from BOX Elder" sul- phurets. The company are now negotiating with the owner of the mill, Mr. Grant, and it Is alto gether probable that they will either buy or lease It. Ifso. work will soon be resumed. So soon as the bullion Is run into bars, we will give the result of the test.
 C. Y. Shelton is working Vernon ore in his arastra. He thinks 1t will yield $500 to the ton, and we believe that 1t will. Uncle Billy Pointer Is assisting him to work it.
 A day or two ago, party of men were sent over to the District, to sink upon the Golden Gate lode, for its owng, Jesse Jackson.

The owners of claims there stand ready to give capitalists fair show.
 MARTINEZ DISTRICT.
 Shafts are being sunk upon one or two lodcs in this district, with fair promise. Indeed, it Is asserted that the ore now being taken out is ex- traordnary rich Geo a Kimball and Wm. Gil son, of Camp Date Creek, are now here, purchAs- ing tools, powder, etc, to be used in sinking upon these lodges.
