= The Distinctive Feature
of the Stock system Of Life Insursnee, as OF:
posed to the Mutual, is o low rate'of premium
for o stated sum insured, which is IMMEDIATE,
SECURED and CERTAIN; in lieu Of q high rate
nf premium with promised dividend, which
Is DISTANT CONTINGENT and pEpERy4lN; :; this
so called dividend being merely return Of n
portion Of the excessive and unnecessary pre.
mium charged in the frat INSTANCE.
Illustration, H
Suppose that On individual aged thirty de-.
sires to devote 5000 year for tho purpose of
rffecting an insurance on his life; this amount
willimDe 'ntoly secure him in the UNIVERSAL
the sum of S11,75l, payable on his decrase.
This sum, paid to company charging the or
binary mutual rates, would secure him the sum
of So, 8,474-dEersnee, immediately secured, in
favor of tho UNIVERSAL, S3,277.
TO illustrate the importance to the policy
holder of low premiums in more general
terms, il may be stated that by reduction of
tnenfy.frc per cent. in the rate ofpremium the
same amount of money will secure q policy
thirty-three and one third per cont. greater, and
likewise that a reduction Of twenty ayc per cent?
in the rate Of premium il precisely equivalent
to an annual cash diyidend af thiry-three and
one-third per ccnt payable in advance, or to q
dividend Of forty; ;,fre per cent. payable at the
end Of FIVE ears.
by the Stock plan The full cash effect of the
premium is Immediately secured to the in
sured, the Company taking all the risk. By
the Mulual plan the full value in insurance Of
the premium paid is not secured to the policy
holder, who takes portion of the risk himself.
The Premiums
charged by thu UNIVERSAL are as low as the
actual experience Of insured life in this coun-
try will justify, and on the ordinary Life and
Ten-Year Non-forfsituro policies are NEAR
LY ONE-THIRD LOWER than those charged
by the majority of Mutual Companies.
Special attention is asked to our "Refnrn
Premium Plan," by which the amount If the
policy is secured sinRly h7 ;Le temporary de-
posit of the annual premiums, which ore re-
turned in full, together with the amount as
sured, to the holder Of policy when it shall
become claim upon the Company.
A clause is inserted in the policies issued by
the UNIVERSAL, in which these results are dis
tinctiy specified and guaranteed.

After the many revelations recently
published on the adulteration OF tea,
or tea-drlnkers ought to be prepared
for worse news than that they are, &C.
cording to the discovery Of a French
servant, cosuminga quantity OF leather
In their favorite beverage sufficient, III
the course OF year, for the manufac-
ture of stout PAIR of boots. The
consumption of this wholesome article
of food is not confined to the drinkers
of g he-tea," but includes even such as
indulge i'll the most costly and genuine
qualities, supposlng them to NIX the
beverage with milk or cream. " is to
this most innocuous of drinks that we
are indebted for the addition to our
cherished evening draught of an in
gredlent proverbial for indigestibility
Tea leaves contain proportion OF
fannie acid, which III the liquid state is
suspended in solution Milk, on the
other hand, contains proportion OF
white OF egg, and the two constituents
being the main Ingredients Of leather
readily combine on mixing the fluids,
adding by the globules of leather-hke
substance which they form TO the OPP
acity OF the compound liquid. We do
not appreLend that this discovery will
deter any OF our readers from taking
their accustomed allowance Of tea. Ii
may possibly, by the scientific explaDa-
ton of the process, even add q new rel
ish to their enjoyment. iii any rate,
they ought to be thankful to learn what
excellent powers Of digestion thev sare
gifted with, enabling them to digest

Wall PAPERS,.

A scientific writer of an English Pc
riodicai gives an account of arsenlcal
wall papers, which may not only cause
dwellers in average American houses to
stand aghast at the perils to which they
have been unconsciously exposing
themselves, but may perhaps explain
many mysterious illnesses and deaths
winch have been attributed by we'll
meaning coroners to homicidal poison
ing. 1t has long been known that wall
papers of bright green color were
tinted with arsenic; but the amount of
the noxious mineral has been supposed
to be tritiing, and few persons will be
prepared to learn that it frequently
reaches as high as fourteen grains
and upwal dis to the square foot" Nor
are the lighter shades,of green always
less poisonous the same quantity of
arsenic of copper being used, and the
paler tint given by an admixture OF
white lead. A paper with green leaves
on Weite ground was found to contain
no less than eight grains Of arsenic to
the square foot, and had caused
serious Illness i'll the family whose
house it had decorated. The sufferings
produced by inhalation of gaseous
carnations from such papers, or, of
the impalpable dust given off from
them, comprise not only obstinate cut
aneous eruptions, but severe diarrhna
and vomiting, and other systems re-
sembling those of poisoning by irritant
substances, bronchitis, COMPOSITIONS of
the lungs or liver, spasmodic asthma,
neuralgia, fevers, commissions, and a
long list Of other maladies. What is
commonly known as ebay fever has
been in several instances traced to this
source, and cured by repulering the
house with an innocent hue Jnasmuch
as nine houses out of ten in the better
portions of every American city are pa
Fperes, carpeted, and upholstered With
various shades OF green. it may be well
for the public to know to what misfor-
tunes verdancy may Lead. ..sfrr

Morning paper printers are consider
ed by the world in general as a sad set.
They resemble the sailor in prodigalrty.
Working alta slaHsh business through
the long hours of the night, while the
rest of the world are enjoying their ma
tural repose, and who awake in the
morning to find the fruits OF the prin-
ter's labor ready at hand, to be enjoyed
over the morning meal Like the owl,
they are lost sight of in the day time
and only emerge forth when darkness
has again spread it's mantle. They have
little time for recreation, or for the
pleasures of everyday life; they make
few aequaintances outside their own
immediate circle, and it is only when
they have completed their weekly la
bors and have forgotten for time their
arduous and almost ceaseless duties,
that they appear in their true light.
Visit any OF the drinking saloons fire.
quented by the craft on Saturdays, their
day of rest, and listen to them as they
gather around the social board Among
them you will find men who have travel
ed over the globe, filling positions of
trust and emolument in almost every
capacity-soldiers, lawyers, actors, and
many other professions. One noted
character among them is known as the
Commodore, y having held at one time
prominent position i'll the navy of
one of one of the South American Re
publics, but circumstances have forced
him to return once more to his trade
He now seems as contented as if he had
never known what it was to command
The stage in this country has been
indebted for many of its brightest lum-
inaries to the craft, among them Bur
ton, Sol. Smith, ST., Mark Smith, Law
renee Barrett, George Holland, Hamil-
ton, Leffingwell, and among the lesser
lights they are numbered by the hun
dreds. They seem to fill with ease and
ability any position which fortune may
call them to. The world considers them
a cynical set, and ifthey are, it is MOTTO
be wondered at. Deprived, through
their calling, from association with the
fairer portiono of humanity, and dealing
with men only through the medium Of
their writings, they lose that respect for
their fellow men which is natural to
the rest of the human species.

Horrors OF Paris.

Another horrible revelation OF the
corr1iptness of French society has lust
been made in Paris. In Nav, 1859, the
Warehouses de La Mothe Fenelon, the
wife of one of the EmperorAs chamber
laips, was in the bedroom OF distin-
guished officer, Commander Theyet. at
the early hour of six in the morning,
when the latter blew his brains orr In
her presence, and she, in less than n
dtani- tokCttc, ran down stairs scream
ing for the concierge. Toe newspapers.
putting this and that together, arrived
at the conclusion that the unfortunate
Commander committed suicide because
ne had been ruined by the Marchion-
ess, and was no longer able 70 satisfy
her approximate demands for money,
The Marquis, in reply to very broad
msinuaEons that he had been ~ saori
coM3olda8f5nt wrote a Letter to die papers
stating that his wife only called upon
Com. Thevet to ask his influence Is 'eet
his son, who had enlisted IN the 5th
hussars. on che sick list, and that the
suicide was fortuitous coincidence
totally, unconnected with her. Ehis ex-
PLANTATION met with little credit, but
nothing more was heard of the matter,
and it was speedy forgotten. The Mar
qns now has raked up theol story and
proclaimed his own dishonored. The
Warehouses after draining her para
mour OF every farthing OF his own, got
him to spend the moneyrof his son by
a deceased wife, of whom lie was h
trustee. Stung byremorse for his folly
and dishonesty Thevet. on the occar
sion Of his last advance to the. happy,
insisted on her giving him pawnbrok-
crs' tickets for some valuable diamonds
which she had pledged for much less
than their value, Then, hoping 10 save
his child fIom utter restitution, he
made win leaving to him the tickets
Tor these diamonds, and stating that
they were his own, because he had adj.
vanced to the Marchioness a great deal
more than the value of them. The mar
qnis brought al action against the
guardians of the orphan, and has gain
ed his cause. He stood upoD the law
That his wife had no right 10 ALLEVIATE

pronounced it the most beautiful fish
that he had ever seen. The following

and A. inches across from its Single
back corsal, which is placed like that

round as sucker, and though itis an
abdominal, and has but one corsal, vet
its fine are lengths, and its iorked eau
dial is quite long. In color, the fish is
whittier and more scinilianf than the
brightest polished silver It's scales
more resembling diamonds. NJ which
the whole body is encased as IN aimor,
impossible to penetrate with . gatf,
though the scales are rather large. Its
head is Ike mother-of-peanl, nnd its
gill-coyers are translucent and like plnk-
tinted pearl. The mu.let month is
small and almost toothless but the
throat contains, above ana beneath,
plates with a file surfaces hard enough
to crush any .crustQee0 not too large
for It's mouth. The scales are about
one-fourth inch square Under the
gullet or GIBBS, like the choaar,bsfo8,n

the fringe to the gill -covers is like coat

THE New FASHION OF ADDRESSING
LErrERs. Very few people know how
to subscribe an envelope. A large
proportion Of the letters that get into
the postoffice are so directed that it is
with great difficulty that they reach
their destination. The first thing the
clerk seeks to know is what state the
letter is bound for; next, what town :;
next, what person. SO the fashion of
address is changing, and the style now
coming intos vogue, for its simplicity
and correctness, is the following:

Turtles comet, the only one OF the
many discovered by HIM having short
period, now reappears in the heavens
for the first time, in accordance with
prediction. It's periodical character
was first recognized ON the occasion of

Calculation then showed that it revoiy-

years. 1t reaches its psriphelion on the
