The Minister'S Work and Pay.

The clergy are the worst paid body of
laborers in the country. They work
with ability and zeal. They are edu-
Gated, sensitive men, often carefully
nurtured, and they are expected to be
everybodys servant, to hold their time
and talents at the call of all the whim-
selectmen of the town. They are to
preach twice or thrice on Sunday, to
lecture and expound during the week,
to make parochial calls i'm sun or storm,
to visit the poor, to be the confdant and
counselor OF throng, and always in
every sermon to be fresh and bright.
and always ready to do any public serv-
ice that may be asked. OF course the
clergyman must be chairman of the
school committee, and director of the
town library, and president of charita-
bic societies. He cannot give great
deal of money for educational and char
liable and aesthetic purposes-not a
very great deal-but he can always give
time, and he can always make speech,
and draw the resolutions, and direct
generally.
He is, in fact the town pound to
WnlCI everybody MAY COlilIlllt tlc tIutIlt
fancies that nobody else will tolerate
upon the pastures and lawns of ther at
tention. He is the town pump at which
everybody may fill himself hith advice.
He is the town bell to summon every
body to every common enterprise. He
is the town beast of burden to carry
everybody's pack. With all this he
must have a neat and pretty house, and
a comely and pretty wife, who must be
always ready and well dressed in the
parlor, although she cannot afford to
hire sufficient "help." And the good
mans children must be well behaved
and properly clad, and his house be q
kind Of hotel for the travelling brethren.
OF course he must be a scholar, and IA
miliar with current literature, and he
may justly be expected to fit half doz-
en- boys for college every year. These
are but illustrations of the functions he
is to fulfill, and always without murmur-
ing and for all he is to be glad to get a
pittance upon which he can barely
bring the ends of the year together, and
to know that if he should suddenly die
of over-work, as he probably will, his
wife and children will be beggars.-

By this we observe that its business for
1870 reached the enormous figure of S40,-
29j.799, being 81 900 900 larger than that of
any company in tlxs world.
The Equitable is mutual company, on
the cash basis, making annual returns to its
policy-holders of all the profits which arise
in the course of its business.
The mention of one very favorable feature
must not be omtted-we refer to the ability
of its agents and the courtesy of its officers,
by which every required information con-
nected with Life Assurance can re readily
obtained. The executive of this company
can always be easily approached, and this
tends much to its popularity.
1t is thus easy to understand why the
Equitable has reached its present pre-emi-
nence. Starting from the first day of its
organization, under the best auspices, IN 1866
there were but FOUR companies that wrote
larger amount of new assurances IN 1867,
but THREE; IN 1868, but TWO; IN 1869, the
Equitables transactions were the largest,
and IN 1870 it still maintained its supremacy,
as the table given above shows. By this
time it had issued over 10000 policies, insur
ing more than S250, 200 900.
We are not aware whether the Equitable
Life Assurance Company is represented here
or not, but we would strongly recommend
those DESTROYS Of working in the field of Life
Assurance, to place themselves at once in
communication with the home office, with
the view of acting for them as agent, as there
is, perhaps, no other company that could
offer better inducements.

A Leading Life Insurance Company.

1t is evident that just now there is no sub
ject more full of interest to the public than
Life Insurance, and nothing that concerns
them more than the merits of the various
Life companies in the United States.
In reviewing the career OF these insttu-
tons, we have been much struck with the
extraordinary onward progress of the Equit-
able Life of New York, and the marked sue
cess which has attended the management of
its affairs and we feel that we are doing q
positire good by giving in brief detail the
points which entitle it to the first considcra-
ton of the insuring public.
The Equitable now occupies the leading
position in respect to the amount of New an
nual business, as will be seen by the follow
ing table:

Destruction Of Works of Art.

BY the destruction of IIolker Hall.
one OF the seats of the Duke of Devon
shire, which was burned on the 10th of
March, several valuable works of art
have been lost. The London Times says:
Over the fire place in the entrance
hall was fine specimen of oak carving
of the time Of James l., which is entirely
destroyed. Paintings of Queen Mary,
wife of William H.; Lord Coventry,
Lord Lonsdale, Sir John Lowther, Adj
and Lady Rachel Russell also persisted
in the flames. In the corridor the por-
traits Of the second Duke Of Devorfshire,
by Sir Godfrey Kneller; Louis XVI,
James l., Thomas Hobbies, Charles H.,
by Riley; Nell Gwynne, by Sir Peter
Leley; James H., and fine painted
window containing all the armorial
bearing of the family from the first
Preston of Holker to the present duke,
have been burned. Fortunately, there
were saved, by extraordinary exertons,
the " Repose in Egypt" by Claude Lor-
raine; the Temple of the Muses." by
the same artist; the celebrated sea pieces
Of Vernet, the "Storm'' and "Calm;"
"St. Francis" by Cigoli; " Shipping"
by Vanderveld; A Venetian Noble
man." by Tintorretto; landscapes by
Rubens, Hobbeman, and Wouvermans.
Some of the marbles and statuary were
saved, but the oak pannelling and cary
ing, and many family relics, which can
not be replaced, were irrevocably lost.
THE Double CHILD OF THE PRAIRIE
The Western newspapers are greatly
excited over the double baby which is
now on exhibition in Cincinnati. One
editor says:
"The children for children they
are) are rather pretty and intelligent
looking--blue eyes, fair hair, and light
complexion. Their bodies are joined
together 80 that there appears to be but
one body. and their heads lie in exactly
opposite directions.
1.-THE question has been asked, Can
they ever walk p 1t would be an odd
looking sight if they do, for their lower
limbs are placed at their side, and at
right angles with the line of their body.
Besides, the right leg belongs to one
and the left to the other, and being
governed by different minds, should
think they would fail to move in har-
mony. While | was there one child
fell asleep; the other remained awake,
laughing and growing"
THOSE who have worn their hats five
years will be pleased to see that they
, are just in fashion again and those who
have pantaloons bought in lS4S, will be
glad to know that they (the panta-
loons) will also be, with their elastic
footings, the pride of the man of
fashion this season, even as they were
his pride twenty-three years since.

me chinese in Louisiana.

From the st. Louis Republican,
IL is estimated that there are at pres
ent two thousand Chinese laborers en-
ployed on sugar plantations in Louisi-
ana, obtained chiefly from California
The majority of planters employing
them express their satisfaction with
them, and prefer them to negroes;
few have not been successful with them,
and have not been able to keep them.
They are extremely jealous Of the con-
ditions of their contract, and most OF
the difficulties with them grow out of
this fact. They are generally faithful
to their stipulations, and exacting with
their employers; but there is such a
demand for job workers in the State,
and the Chinese are so well adapted
TO this kind Of business, that They
are sometimes seduced from their
contracts by the higher wages paid for
job work. They are slow at their tasks,
but sure and nice" They would pillow
very well, but for their lack of manage
ment with mules They do not under
stand the mule, nor the mule does not
understand them. They are great riders,
but fall off easily; Chinaman will jump
on the back Of a mule in half the time a
negro takes, but will be thrown of as
quickly. The Iberia Sugar Bowl says
that labor commands capital, and makes
its own terms; and while this continues
the planters are ready to take anybody
who can make a shift Of getting along
with the work Those planters who have
not tried them are anxious to have them,
and a number Of agents have been re-
Gently sent to California, China and the
West Indies to secure larger supply Of
them.

SARD1s, MISS, May l6. 1871.
To the Editor of the Ledger;
hope that another brief letter from
this young city viii not prove wholly I'M
interesting. Sardis adds daily to her
popularity at home and abroad, as is
evidenced by the constant increase OF
population and business generally. The
matter of her becoming a city of three
or four thousand inhabitants is only a
matter of time, and that limited to few
wears. The fact that Sardis lies in the
bosom of q rich ana fertile section Of
country, unsurpassed Tor salubrity of
climate, fine water and healthy latitude,
situated on great central thoroughfare,
are sufficient inducements to emigrants,
to say nothing of its being the county
seat of Pamela county, and that few
towns, if any, in the State, can boast of
a higher standard of morals.
A new Catholic Church, Of neat de
sign, is about to be completed, and the
Episcopalians intend building church
soon.
On Friday, the 18th, good old-fash-
toned Sabbath school picnic was held
here. The procession of the united
schools of the village was marshaled on
Main street in front of the Methodist
Church, at'l0 am. Gay banners hut-
tered in the morning breeze, lovely
day smiled Nth appreciation on happy
faces, while the hum of voices from joy
GUS, gleeful children, merry youth and
silvery age, greeted the ear everywhere.
From this point the gay concourse
wended its way to the fair building,
where long tables groaned beneath pom
derous loads of delicacies and substan-
tial provisions, prepared by the ladies of
Sardis. A bountiful repast was tempt
ingly arrayed before the guests,
The people here are, generally, ignor-
ing politics, and though heavily taxed
are striving hard to build up their lost
fortunes.
regret to state that the crop prospect
is quite gloomy throughout the country,
except on the high lands that escaped
the recent overflow and floods. Old
farmers say that the late floods exceed
anything of the kind in their recollec-
ton.
A number Of new business houses are
going up; trade is lively and money not
SO scarce as one would imagine.
Sardis boasts, among other good things,
of two first-class high schools-the Male
Academy under charge of Messrs Tim
berlake and Mathes, and the Female In
stitute under charge of the Rev. d. G.
Doak.
Colonel N. Howard, so well known in

There is nothing beautiful and good

live again in the better thought Of those

its work on earth in those that love Il
