LIFE INSURANCE ILLUSTRATORS

LIFE INSURANCE ILLUsTRATED.-
Messrs. Behen Brothers have received
from the Carolina Life Insurance
Company, of which they are agents for
North Louisiana, five thousand dollars,
in Il cash draft on the bank of Mem
phis, to pay the widow and children of
the late Elijah Groves, of Tensas par
iSh.
This loss comes in good time, as
without it the family would be in des-
titue circumstances. Mr.. Groves had
made but one payment on his policy,
it having been secured only in last
April. His last moments were no
doubt soothcd and his approaching
death more calmly surveyed, in consc-
quence of the wise and prudent invest
ment he had made, and now his fam
lily bless the decision and foresight he
displayed in the venture.

Spread the Truth.

Some medical men insist that it is rndig
nitied to advertise a remedy, however valu-
able it may be. Queer reasoning this. 1t
is like saying that an article which tho world
needs should be hid in a corncr-that bcnc-
fits and blessings may be too widely ditfuscd
that the means ofprotecting and restoring
health should be a close monopoly, and not
accessible to all. The argument is bad. 1t
is worse than that; it is inhatmon Suppose
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters-an absolute
specific for dyspepsia billOusnesS and ncrE-
Gus debility-had never been known beyond
tho repertoire of the faculty, what would
have been the consequence Instead OF cur
ing and invigorating millions the good
effects of the preparation would have been
confined to a comparative few. There is the
highest authority for saying that light
should not be hid under a bushel; that
whatever is excellent should be placed as Il
city on a hill, where all men can take cog
nizancc of it. 1t is upon this principle that
the Bitters have been advertised and con-
tinuc to be advertised in every newspaper
of any prominence in the western hemis-
pherc, and that the spontaneous testimoni-
ais in its favor have been translated into all
feet health to-day who would be languish-
ing on beds of sickness if the newspapers
had not spread the truth acith regard to this
1ta,e1uulei invigo,'lnt and corrective far and
wide. Suppose profit has been reaped from
this publicity. Is that any argument against
it? If the public health has been protected;
if lives have been saved; if the feeble have
been strengthened and the sick restored,
great good has been accomplished; and who
so mean as to grudsse to eNertionS thus di-
recte0 their fair reward?

BEN NETT - MCLAIN. AT tho Union
Church, Monroe. january II, 1871, by Rev.
II. B. Lawson, Mr.. JAMES NJ. BENNETT to
Miss NJ. LAvo%IA MCLAIS, both of this
Parish.
The nuptial ceremonies attending the
marriage of our young friends, We're indeed
very pleasant and inspiring. The. day was
bright and lovely; the Church contained Il
number of smiling friends; the marriage
ceremony happily performed and
gracefully acknowledged; While the sweet
strains of music came in at the conclusion,
filling the building with a thrilling melody,
which, vibrating outward, conveyed to half
the town share of the JOY and pleasure felt
by the hopeful bride and bridegroom and
their attending friends. Mr. and Mrs. Ben
nett left upon the cars this morning, upon
their wedding tour, which, we trust, will be
attended with none but pleasing incidents,
porous life, mutually beneficial and salts
factory. There were few better, Drawer sol
dicrs of the Lost Cause than the groom, and
in the wife OF his choice, he has, no doubt
obtained at last his best reward.

Yesterday morning, at . O'Clock, it
was pleasant and spr1ng-like. At three
in the afternoon, a heavy rain began
falling, which continued falling until
dark. Following the cessation, came a
sharp, piercing north wind, bringing a
slight freeze and sleet. At dawn, the
ground was nearly white, and truly
hypcrborean scene met tho gazer's Wis
ion. The hOuse-tops were mantled with
white; the pools Of water made by yes
tcrday's rain were frozen over; tho trees
looked gray and crisp; the window
pancs, were beautifully ornamcnted, and
the air was hushcd and outdoor ami
nation nearly suspended. 1t is seldom
such weather is felt in this climate. Our
thermometer marked 1S0, at "A. NJ, to

follow this precedent, but rather reduce
rates, as circumstances will permit. 1t
is scarcely necessary for us to say to our
merchants to insure at home, as it is to
the interest of all our citizens to do SO.
1t is more satisfactory, saves time,

hands of Behen Bros. These considcra-

Vertisement in the Richland Beacon
and in the Morehouse Conservative, ,and
if we can make as favorable a contract
with you as we have with those men,
toned we will let you insert one in your
paper. Let us know what your lowest
price for three half-columns is for the
term of six months. You will have to
come down considerably from your reg
ular rates to meet our approval. An
advertisement from our house, as large
in size as we propose, will doubtless in
duce many others here to advertise with
you. This was taken into consideration
by the proprietors herein named. We
pay for that space 1925 for six months.

us your terms. Respectfully,

We receive intelligence from New
Orleans. in very small and disjointed
parcels. The Associated Press agent
there-a very clever person, no doubt
warns us Of the departure of boats, no.
ticcs strcct-car and levee accidents, &c,
but is exceedingly chary of items con-
corning the Legislature and other gen
cral topics. We have yet to hear who
Gen. West defeated for Senator, and by
what majority the unlucky aspirant
was defeated. Our dispatches tell us
nothing whatever about the conse-
quences, politically, Of Vests election,
nor nothing in reference to the proceed
ings of the legislature relative to the
important questions connected with
State policy. We hear of everything
that transpircs in st. Louis, Cincinnati,
Memphis, and other large cities, but
seldom receive an interesting note from
the Capital of our own State.

We don't understand it, and there
fore, give it up in the premises. We
see men who complain Of hard times
and let their debts stand over year
after year, and yet they are buying
property and improving it. We like to
see, and always encourage, improve
lnents; but we don't understand the Sc
cret OF improving and never paying
debts. Again, we see men selling
property and getting good prices, who
also complain of hard times, and also
let their little bills run month after
month We see men make great dis
play and exact considerable public no
tice and attention-who are magnifi-
cent collectors, and withal very winn-
ing-who scorn the collector who comes
now and then to them. We see men
who never work, who, notwithstand-
ing, live and loll in ease. We sec men
who are reputed wealthy who declare
they have no money; and we SEQ men
who are really poor, spending money
every day for that which is worthless.
And then we see the peoples friend, he
who works hard, is expected to help
everybody and does it, almost begging
for the pay he has earned, and occa-
sionally treated ungraciously and al
most rudely, when he exacts his dues.

SIRs You, no doubt, do me great
honor in the proposition "tO let'' me
insert your advertisement upon any
terms and at any price, and thank
you accordingly. Ingratitude, 1 re-
gard, as next to the objectionable sin.
BY consulting my published rates for
advertising, you will find that the
price for a single half-cOlumn, six
months, is $50, which multiplied by
| three, is $24O, to which add SO per cent.
| for a thrible column advertisement,
and we have 1919 20, the cost Of pub
fishing what you specify, in the TELE-
GRAPH. From this, l regret to say,
since you are so liberal and unselfish,
1 cannot sscome down."
I have no doubt the insertion OF your
| advertisement would bring Il num-
ber of advertisements from Vicksburg
although my patronage from that en-
terprising city is already very liberal,
and at my regular rates-but it has oc-
cured to me, that the fewer advertise
ments / have at prices meeting your
| "apprOval,'' the better it will be for
my balance sheet; since there is scarcely
house in Vicksburg that would not
advertise to the same extent, which

in debt to somebody. Nine such adj
vertisements as yours would fill my
paper, and yield, allowing ten per cent.
for collection, S1O12 25, for six months,
which is not twice the cost Of white
paper alone for that period, to say moth
ing of labor, rents, fuel, telegrams, &c.
But what affects me most deeply, is
your unseltish opinion of the dry goods
business and your extreme generosity
toward labor. l take it for granted
that the mechanics, artisans and la
borers of Vickshurg, patrOnize your
house exclusively, if you are equally as
liberal toward them as you propose
being toward me, in sIetting" me pub
lish your poster. l have seldom, my
dear sirs, been SO profoundly aroused to
the liberality and disinteresteclness of
the world around me, and l propose
not to be ungrateful.
take leave to say, in conclusion,
that Mississippi, my native State,
ought to be proud of Scharf Brothers,
and extend to them a liberal patronage.

hereafter be known to some extent, in
Louisiana. Yours truly,

A TERRIFIC EXPLnsIoN.-A terrible
explosion occurred in mandatory of
fireworks on Beekman street, New York
city, on Thursday afternoon, Sept. 18th.
The establishment was owned by Kluber
4 Goldschmidt, and the explosion was
caused by the accidental fallingo. box
containing torpedoes which was being
conveyed from the store to a wagon in
front. The conclusion caused by the ex-
plosion outside the store exploded all the
torpedoes inside, and in an instant the
iron doors and windows were blown into
the street. Henry Brown, aged fourteen
years, and an unknown man supposed to
have been the driver Of wagon, were
killed. Mr.. Goldschmidt, Mary J. Burr,
aged ten years, Henry Reghart, aged
thirteen, and James holman, aged sew
enty-six, were terribly burned, and Gold
schmidt and Reghart will die. A wagon
was blown to pieces and the horses SO
badly injured that they will have to be
killed. A number of persons in addition
to the above, who were passing in the
vicinity of the explosion, were slightly
injured. Not only houses opposite, but
all in the immediate vicinity suffered
great loss iu broken windows and avn,
ings. The little girl, Burr, was killed
while sitting on the steps of her house or
! the opposite side of the street. 1t i,
stated Kluber & Goldschmidt had beer
notified to discontinue the manufacture
OF this dangerous toy, but they paid nc
attention to the notice.
