ANECDOTE OF a DOC A narrow log
lay as bridge over deep ravine From
the opposite ends of the log, at the same
moment, there started 10 cross il a big
Newfoundland dog and a little italian
greyhound; Of course they met in the
middle of the log, and of course there was
not room for them to pass, neither could
they 60 back. The hight WAS dangerous
one for the greyhound, and TO the water
at the bottom be was extre mcly aVerse.
The Newfoundland could have taken the
leap in safety, but evidently did not want
TO. Here was a fix ! The little dog sat
down on his launches, stuck his nose
straight up in the air, and hoWlcd. The
Newfoundland stood intent, his facs
solemn with inward workings. Presently
he gave nudge with his nose to the how'll
ing greyhound as if to say, ''Be silH5
youngster, and listen" Then there WAS
silence and seeming confabulatlon for a
second or two Immediately the big dog
spread his legs wide apart like Colossus,
bestriding the log on its extreme outer
edges, and balancing himself carefully
The little dog sPrang through the opening
like a fash When they reached the ops
posite shores the greyhound broke into
frantic sambols of delight, and the New
foundland, after his mere sedate fashion,
expressed great conplscency in his
achievement-as he surely had a right TO
do.

A REAL RoMANCE.-A St. Louis fair
one hearing that her lover was going 10 a
ball with another girl, made bargain
with the hackman by which she drove
the coach in his stead, and in place of
taking the happy pair to their destination
she took them several miles out of The
city. Then inducing them on some pre-
tence to get out she whipped up the horses
and drove back, leaving the untortunates-
the lady in a low>necked muslin ball dress
exposed to rain in the midst of a lonely
wood After wandering in the mud for
number of hours-a performance for which
neither the cavaliers thin boots nor his com
panions kid slippers were particularly well
fittsd-they found shelter in iarm>house,
where, finding priest and the mutality
of their misadventures inspiring love, they
were united in the holy bonds.

WISE AND OTHERwIsE.-What makes
q pair of boots? Two boots.
Never let your honest convictions be
laughed down.
Whatever makes men happier makes
them better.
1t costs more to avenge wrongs than to
bear them.
Which is the ugIiest hood over worn
False hood.
Is it murder to drown your sorrows, or
kill time7
There is a heroic innocence, as well as
a heroic courage.
When does a man have to keep his
word When no one will take it.

Mutual Life Assurance Society
ESTABLISHED IN 1910.
INCORPORATED BY SPECIAL G 1851.
CHIEF OFFICE:
No. 30, HIGH STREET, B~RIDGETowN, BARBADOS

EINHIS Society, which confines its bust
a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, %labouring in the same
field, can offer. Its scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and sufh-
eient to create large SURPRISES, out Of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
81 per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members Of the Society.
It's career, during a period of 80 years
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of the
world, are, when carefully selected, almost
as valuable as those inhabiting Europe.
and that they do not demand such exces
sive Premiums as are charged by every
other Company.
The following abridged Table shows the
Premiums required to assure 500, for the
whole term, upon a single life -

MADRID-Three of the men who were active w en-
gagged in the assassination attempt against the lives of
tbs King and Queen of the Spaniards have been ar
rested, and twenty seven of their alleged ~accomplices
taken into custody also. The escape of the King was
a narrow one. One of the horses attached to the roy
al carriage received seven pistol shots.

by Corroln, near San Luis, has collected a force of
800 men and occupied Lula de Tamaulipas. The
revolutionary colonel Salazar, captured the town of
Hanuco, near Tampico, with its garrison and shot its
commander. San Luis was attacked by Martinez on
the 1st instant. He forced his way with his men
within the block plaza, but was then compelled to re-
tire after several hours fighting. General Garcia de
la Cadena has left Zqcatecas to Join Martinez in an
attack on San Luis. Diaz is reported in Lagos with
a strong Cavalry force; Rocha is still in Monterey, and

GENEvA.-The members Of the Court of Arbitration
for the settlement of the Alabama claims r~eassembled
in session in the afternoon to-day. The Tribunal was
duly organized at a quarter past one, and remained in
close Council until the hour of four o'clock in the
evening. 1t is difficult to ascertain, with accuracy,
how far the national representatives have progressed
in the discharge Of the duty for which they have been
commissioned. but it is generally understood here in
the city that the Court first took up and had under
consideration the case of the ~privateer Florida. The
latest reports circulating outside the hall of arbitration
relative to the work Of the international Judges ailege
that the case of the Florida was concluded to-day, and
that the decision, it is believed, awards 49, 0 900
damages in compensation for her depredations. 1t is
stated also that the American claims for damages
caused by the vessels Boston. Salie, Jeff Davis, Joy
AID Music have been dismissed by the arbitrator.
The demurrer of Great Britain concerning the other
vessels is overruled.
The arbitrators commenced the consi deration of
the case of the Alabama to-day. The Court adjourn

Advices from st. Petersburg state that tho
cholera epidemic is gradually making its way from
+he an stern provinces of Russia, and gaining q
foothoId in the central and western portion of the
Empire. The CITY of Moscow is now suffering
from its ravages, and the desease there has as
sumed its most malignant form. The proportion
of deaths to recoveries of those attacked, is placed
at eight to one. This terrible fatality has Gre
ated a panic among the inhabitants and thousands
of the better classes are fleeing into Western Eu-
rome. At St. Pete rsburg a few sporadic cases
have appeared, and the authorities have taken the
most rigid precautions to cut Oft communication
between the capital and the infected districts.
MADR1D.-The King and Queen are receiving
congratulatory addresses from all portions OF the
country. expressing the Joy of their subjects at
their escape from the bullets of the assassins, and
declaring their loyalty aud attachment OF the peo-
pie to the dynasty of the elective hlng and the
Constitution of Spain. Yesterday afternoon
their Maiesties drove through the city IN an open
carriage. Their progress was an immense ovation.
They were greeted at every point by the enthu-
siastic cheers and plaudits ofthe entire populace.
Thousands of citizens accompanied the carriage
on it's return to the palace. The examination of
the two assassins who were captured developed
the fact that the attack was part OF an organized
conspiracy, extensive in it's ramitications and pro-
vided with ample funds.
GENEvA-The gentlemen connected with the
Board of Arbitration still preserve the most pro-
found secrecy on the subject of it's proceedings.
