BARBADOS Mutual Life Assurance Society
ESTABLISHE D IN 1910.
INCORPORATED BY SPECIAL ACT 1851.
CHIEF OFFICE:
No. 30, HIGH STREET, BRIDeETowN, BARBADOS
gIIHIS 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 suffi-
cient TO create large SURPRISES, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
D per cent per annum upon the amour
assured have been distributed among Il 9
Members of the Society.
Its career, during u 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 inhabiting
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,
or the whole term, upon a single life -

Observation-Disclosures dispatches
from Blois and Tours contained confused
accounts of another victory obtained by
Aurelles over Won der Tam, near Arthe-
nay. These dispatches state that Won
der Tam, being strengthened by reinforce
ments, had advanced from Toury south
ward along the road leading via Chevilly
and Orleans but he was attacked on the
right flank with great impetuousity by
AurelIes, near Arthenay. The engage
ment resulted IN the complete repulse of
the Germans and the capture of a large
number of prisoners and twenty-six guns.
Tours.-A battle is expected to-day at
Toury. The army of the Loire is advan-
cling on that town from Orleans.
London.-Thc battle of the 9th inst. at
CouImiers resulted in a decided success
for the French arms. The Germans lost
5000 men at the lowest estimate.
At Bacon a determined fight occurred,
with large forces on both sides. The
Prussians were beaten and their entrench-
ments stormed. They left one hundred
wagons of provisions and forage. Mar
tineouin's was the only French division
there engaged. Prisoners are constantly
arriving. Two guns and a number of
caissons have also arrived. Won der
Tann's carriage is here. Won der Tam
himself was nearly captured.
General D'AurelIes de Paladines is now
executing q movement which is designed

POSITION OF THE PALADINE'S
FORCES.
A telegram from Tours, dated to-day,
has been received here os follows:-"The
main body Of the army of the Loire yes
terday occupied a position extending along
the line Of the Chateaudun road to St.
Peravy, Patay and Cheevilly."

actions of the 9TH, 9th and 10th, before
Orleans, including 500 sick and wounded,
who were abandoned, aggregates 10000 in

WON DER TANN'S REPORI OF HIS
LOSSES.
A telegram from Versailles, dated to-
day, states that General Won der Tam,
in his official report to the headquarters
here, announces that in the battle before
Orleans on the 9th he lost fortytwo Off

PARIS.
The reports that Paris is distressingly
short Of provisions are confirmed by des-
patches from various quarters to-day.
General Trochu daily marches out fifty
or sixty battalions of men under the guns
of Fort Mont du Valerien. The Prussians
are hourly expecting him to make asottie.
The recent firing from the guns OF the
enciemte at Paris show that they have a
far greater range than has hitherto been
supposed. The shells of these guns on
the 8th inst. reached and demolished the
German works beyond Vile d'Avray.
A correspondent writes from Versailles,
under date of the 9th inst, that the Ger
man forces there have received scarcely
any reinforcements since the fall of Metz,
except the Seventeenth and Fourth divi-
sions of Wurtcmburgers, who were sent
westward soon after the capitulation.

OURS.

1t chanccd OH beautiful summer night,
When the moon was young, when the stars
were bright,
And the blossoms slept In tho tender light,
Aud dreamed of the zephyr's sighs,
That a wondrous spell in our home was
wrought,
OF hopes and fears and bewildcring thought,
BY fairy flower that al angel brought,
From the gates of Paradise.
The south wind huttcred its perfumcd wings,
And essaycd the song that the bulbul sings
And the FREELY sparklcd in mystic rings,
Like lamps at n fairy bali;
The young leaves, whispering sweet and
In tongue that only Dryads know,
Made love to the waves that danced below
In the chant of the waterfall.
The clodd-ships lay in the far.oT west,
With their ,nasts md spars and sails at rest,
Or noatcd along in an idle quest
Of some bright Elysian isle
And fairy gondolas here and there
Flowed down the streams Of the upper air,
And moorcd their prows to tho shadow
stair
OF some Gothic palocc-pilc.
So the hours Of that summer night were
told.
The starlight faded from river and wold,
And morning, in garments Of purple and
gold,
Awakened the sleeping earth;
But the chcrnb form, with its face so fair,
Crowned with glory Of golden hair,
Like the morning sunshine cleaning there,
Still nestled beside our hearth

KEEPING Fruit IN Our Rooms.
--Wo should be chary Of keeping
ripe fruit in our sitting rooms ;,
md especially bcwaro Of laying it
about q ick-chamber for any
length Of timo. That complaint
which somo people mako about IL
faint sensation in the presence Of
trnit is not fanciful thoy may be
really affected by it. For two
continental chemists have shown
that, from the moment Of pluck
ing, apples, cherries, currants, and
othor fruits, arc subject to inccs-
SAINT transformation. At first they
absorb oxygen, thus robbing the
surrounding air Of its vital ole
mcnt then thoy evolve carbonic
acid, and this in far greater vol
ume than tho purcr gas is absorb
cd, so that wo have poison given
us in the place Of pure air, with
compound interest. Temperature
affects the ratio Of change, warmth
accclcrating it.
