HOME INVESTMENTS.


HOME INVESTMENTS.
The Association is organized on the purely
mutual, or co partnership plan. Each State is
created a distinct department of the company
and the business placed under the management
of board of directors chosen from its own
citizens.
The language of the charter is as follows
1.-THE Board of Directors in each department
shall loan the money to be Invested in said De-
partment.n .a#tr
Section 81 also provides that sthe met present
value of the liabilities of the company, under
policies issued to members of each department
as fixed by the standard of valuation of the
company, shall be invested, and kept invested
within such department"
OF the wisdom and safety of the plan adopted
by the Association, the Hon. Elizur Wright, of
Boston, bears testimony as follows:
AS the true theory of the reserve on any
policy is, that it is u savings bank deposit or
self-insnrance, applicable only to that particular
policy itself, when it becomes u claim. and only
needs to have its principal secure and its interest
sufficient, it would not seem possible to have it
invested too near the locality where that par
tlcular policy will become 4 claim"
To this feature of local representation and in
yestment, the Association largely owes its
UNPARALLELED SUCCESS.

Every thing is new, on an improved principle

Among the most valuable stimulants coffee
takes the highest rank. The greatest care should
be taken in the process of Roas ting Coffee, as
upon that depends its flavor and stimulating
qualities.
By MIR. BENEDICT'S new process of Roast
ing Coffee the acid (deliterious property of the
coffee,) is condensed and carried off by perfo-
rated pipes leading from the cylinders, and all
the aroma or fragrance of the coffee retained in
the alright cylinders. Persons of the most
delicate and sensitive nervous organization, who
cannot use coffee prepared the old way, can
drink the delicious beverage when roasted in the
manner above described, without the slightest
injury to the system.

CHARLESTON, February 26, 1872.
The Constitutional Convention adjourned
at noon on Saturday until to>day at eleven
o'clock, to enable some of the committees to
make their report. Mr.. Wilson, of Harrison,
has submitted proposition looking to minors
ty representation. The Constitution provides
for twenty four Senators Mr.. Wilson proposes
to create eight districts, each to elect three
Senators, SO as to secure in each district one
minority representative.
To-day the committee of the Whole have
had under consideration the report of Mr..
johnson, of Wood, chairman of the commits
tee on Executive Department. The action of
Friday, IN relation to the office Of Lieutenant
Governor, was again Endorsed by large ma
jority. and the Office made void in the new
Constitution. 1t was urged that because
Lieutenant Governor Mueller, of Ohio, had
acted disgracefully aud in violation of his
oath of office, it was evidence that honest
and competent men would not be found to fill
the Office.
