On DEMosruENEsE The following sum-
mary Of the great Greek orator is taken from
Mtford's History of Greece, and depicts him
in 5, NOT altogether favorable light: Want
drove him to apply his talents to business, and
At the age of i've and-twenty he began with
that EMPLOYMENT which had raised lsocrates
70 fortune, consequence, and fame, composing
speeches for suitors in the courts OF justice.
- A weak habit of body and an embarraSS.
ed manner seemed to deny him the hope OF
becoming speaker to win the attention of list
enins thousands, and he had the further great
disadvantage of defective utterance With
this, sour, irritable temper was repelling to
friendship, and an extraordinary deficiency, not
only of personal courage, but Of all that consttu,
ties dignity of soul made respect difficult and
esteem apparently impossible. Nor were
these defects shown only among familiar &C,
uuaintanccs; they were exhibited in publ he, ana
made extensively notorious. In earliest youth
he earned an opprobrious nickname by the
effemipacy Of his dress and manner. Emerg-
ing from minority he earned another approbrl-
Gus nickname by prosecution OF his guardl-
ans. which was considered as dishonorabc
attempt to extort money from them. Not
long after in the Office Of Choregus, which car
ried high dignity, he took blows publicly IN
the theatre from youth of rank brought his
action for the assault and compounded it tor
thirty mines, about slOO His cowardlce III
the field became afterwards notorious. Even
his admirers acknowledge that his temper was
uncertain, his manners aw kward; that he was
extravagant in expense and greedy Of gain, an
unpleasant companion, faithless friend,
contemplate soldier, and of notorious dlshon,
esty, even in his profession OF an advocate.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING.

Notice is hereby given to the
citizens of Upper East Tennessee
that there is established in Nash
vile, Tennessee, one Of the most
reliable Life Insurance Companies
that can be found in the United
States. II was organized by a por-
ton of the best and most successful
business men in the State, and for
the purpose of stopping the heavy
drain that is annually made upon
the money resources of the State !;
to this end it was necessary they
should present an organization that
could invite the strictest scrutiny
into its solYency, integrity and ca
pacity; therefore we present the
claims of the Nashville Life Insur-
ance Company to the business and
thinking men ofthis Division ofthe
State, as an institution in which
they can invest their annual pre-
miums upon Life Policies with the
full assurance their widows and
orphans viii receive the amount
assured to them within thirty days
after death The table rates, we
think, are as favorable as any
Northern company. Its Policies are
liberal and contain no unnecessary
or illiberal restrictions. 1t has not
q single stain on its good name. 1t
is managed with economy and en-
ergy. On July 1st, 1871, its assets
to liabilities, 270 to 100, or nearly
3 to 1. 1t is now paying I'd annual
dividend Contribution plan) %
per cent. Rate of interest QegaD
in Tennessee ten (1O) per cent. 1t
has 100000 90 deposited with the
State Comptroller. Ordinary Life
Plan non-forfeiting after three an
nual payments.
To my friends, I most cheerfulIy
ask to examine the claims of this
to their confidence. [
fully endorse it from my person.
al kno Wedge of its management as
being entirely reliable as evil
dence [ am the Oath policy holder
in it of over 1000.
| will remain in Morristown for
the next thirty days, and will be
pleased to extend my acquaintance
and talk with the people interested
upon the subject, and if they desire,
will take their application as to
myself. l will refer you to the
business and professional men, and |
others of Morristown, generally to
whom | am known.

Bounty and Pension Frauds.

Bounty and pension frauds con-
tiRue to develop themselves under
the present administration of
affairs in the Pension Bureau: a
special dispatch to the Courier
Journal, from Washington states
that Notwithstanding the spasmodic
efforts occasionally made to inves-
tigate the method in which these
frauds are perpetrated, the offend
ers are most always political ia
vorites, and are permitted to escape
without notice, and their attempts
winked at, as in the late case of
Tennessee Butler The latest de-
velopments of the present charac-
ter go TO show that certain claim
agents, through collisions with the
employees in the Department who
have access to the muster and pay
rolls, have nearly perfected a plan
for wholesaler aid upon the Treas
sury. Through the action of the
Solicitor, aided by corps of de-
tectives, this scheme has been over
reached, and the names of the prin-
cipal perpetrators discovered. A
favorite field Of action for these
swindlers has been in the Southern
States in the collection of colored
claims, and the authorities for some
time have been quietly at work I'M
dermining their operations. A re-
port now comes from the United
States District Attorney at Salem,
North Carolina, that a gang of
swindIers, of the present class, have
been unearthed there, and they will
soon be brought to justice. Recent
in New York, and
other Eastern cities, reveal state
of affairs there, in the present con-
nection, that requires the most care
full scrutiny.
