Life policies are NOW generally conceded to be
among the most certain and most desirable Of
investments. This Company, managed upon
principles of strict economy, offers the lowest
rates of Premiums, consistent with safety, and
loaoer than any Company doing business in the
State and its success is an established fact Its
profits are realized in Virginia and by Virginia
people, and all reserve from Premiums, as Sc
curity to the Policy holders additional to the
Capital Stock, is invested by the Local Boards
in that section Of the State from which it IS de-
rived.
Being convinced, by their knowledge cf the
integrity and prudence of the gentlemen who
compose its directory, and by thorough exami-
nation of the plan of organization, that it is in
every respect reliable Company, the citizens
of Staunton named above, have themselves sub

warranted in commanding the enterprise TO the

ANAFRICAN BUG STORY.

One of the most extraordinary facts re-
vealed to US by DR.. Livinostone's explora-
tions in Africa is that the high table
land of the interior, with its rich agricul-
tural resources, its noble fora, its fine
temperature, broad inland seas, and mex
haustible stores of mineral wealth, is rend-
cred all but impenetrable to civilized man,
certainly beyond all reach of colonization,
by one of the most apparently Insignificant
of causes, fly. This terrible insect is a
little brown, yellow-stripped fly called the
tsetze, scarcely larger than our common
household pests, but whose sting
is absolutely fatal. So deadly is its poison
that it is said three or four flies kill the
largest OK. Soon after the bite, which gives
little or no pain, staggering and blindness
come on; the body swells to an enormous
size; the coat turns rough, and in q few
hours follow commissions and death. And
yet this deadly poison, under the effect of
which the horse and OK, the sheep and the
dog fall as if plague-stricken, is perfectly
harmless to man, to wild animals, to the
pig, mule, ass and goat. Here is an achieve
ment of science that would bring glory to
the discoYerer-the discovery of some anti
dote to the sting of this venomous 1y, which
would open the treasures of Central Africa
to the use of the world.

Details of the Fray.
LONDON, July 17.-Mail advices from
Alexandra to Friday last give detailed ac-
counts, off the afrayibetween Consul General
Butler and the Khedive's American officers.
Consul Butler, his Secretary Wadleigh and
an attache of the consulate named Strologo
were dining at Greek restaurant where
also party of officers, Gen'ls. Loring and
Reynolds and Maj. Campbell. As they
were leaving the restaurant Loring
and Reynolds saluted Butler, but Maj.
Campbell passed on without recognizing
him. Butler shouted after him, "Good
evening, Maj. Campbell" Campbell r9trac-
ed bis steps and high words and blows en-
sued. The whole party then went into the
street where Wadleigh fired several shots at
Maj. Campbell wounding him dangerously.
Gen. Reynolds then fred at Wadleigh but
without effect. The difficulty is reported
to have grown out of long standing en-
nifty between Butler and Campbell.
Persons who have recently arrived in this
city from Alexandria state that they saw
BItler, Wadleigh, Campbell, Loring and
others, playing cards together within the
past two weeks.

soldiers of the expedition had died.
1t /, elro 3eously supposed by his frienci
that DR.. Livingstone is most industriously
attended tc; that be receives annually, i
not semi-annually, large supplies of cloth
beads and neeessaries. Your correspond
ent begs to inform his friends that the ex
pedition found him turned back from his
explorations when on the eve of being ter.
minated thoroughly, by the very men sent
to him by tie British Consulate. This ex-
pedition found him settled down at Ujiii
utterly destitute, and robbed by the very
men sent by the British Consulate at Zlnzi
bar with his caravan. In the matter of sup
plies being sent to Livingstone semi-annu-
ally or annually, there is no truth whatever.
The cause is the extreme apathy at Zanzi-
bar and the reckless character Of the men
sent.
When preparing to return to the coast,
your correspondent turned over to DIR. Liv-
ingstone nine bales of mixed cloths, eighty
pounds of assorted beads and three hun
dred and fifty pounds of brass wire, be-
sides one portable boat 70 cross rivers, a
supply of carpenters tools, revolvers, car
bines and several hundred pounds of ammu-
milton. (s
Your correspondent has been commits
stoned by DIR. Livingstone. if there is time
before the first ship leaves Zanzibar, to send
him fifty well armed men from Zanzibar to
act as soldiers and servants for the new ex-
pedition which he is about to organ
ize for the rapid exploration of few doubt
full points before returning home, to
declare to those concerned that he has fin
ished his work. He will leave Unyanyembe,
and viii make his way to the Copper Mines
at Katanga; thence eight days south to dis
cover the fountains of Herodotus; then re-
turn by K2tanga to the underground houses
of Rua, ten days northeast of Katanga;
thence to Lake Kamolondo, and by the riv-
er Lufira to Lake Lincoln; thence back to
Lualaba to explore the lake north of Kam-
olondo; thence return to Ujiji through Uro-
ri to the coast and to England.
This Is his present programme, which he
thinks will only take him eighteen months;
but, as have told him, think it viii take
two years. Though he is now going on
sixty years of age, he looks but forty-five
or fifty, quite hale and hearty. he has an
enormous appetite, which has abated
nothing of its powers since have known
him. He is In no need of rest; be needed
supplies; he has got them now, and every
thing he needs. Though sick and thin
when saw him at UjJi, be is now fleshy
and stoutish, and must weigh about one
hundred and eighty pounds. 1 have not
the slightest fears about bis health, or of
any danger coming to him from the natives.

Horrors of the Texan Border
Another Blunder of BIundering Grant
In Our RussIan Relations.


New YORK, JnlJ ia Washington
dispatch says Secretary Fish arrived there
yesterday, and is very much annoyed over
the publication of Catacazy's defense.
When the original document was first an
nounced Fish tried to obtain copy from
chief of police Chase, but failed. Since
Catacazy's return to Europe he maintained
silence until his successor, Baron Gutenberg,
was received by the President. The Presi-
dent in his reply alluded to the Catacazy
matter, which was regarded by the Russian
government as uncalled for. 1t was this
that gained for Catacazy permission to make
h story public.
Massacre of a Texan FanliIy-Two
Young Ladies made Captive by I'm

WASHINGTON. July 17.-Fhe War De-
partmeut has details of the massacre of the
Lee family on Clear Fork sixteen miles be-
low Fort Griffin, Texas. The father, moth
er and little girl eight years of age were
killed by arrows, then scalped, aud the
bodies left with the arrows sticking in
them. Mrs. Lees ears were cut off. Cor
della aged Is, Susanna aged II and John
Lee aged 6, were taken prisoners. The
commander ofthe post at Fort Griffin sent
scouting parties after the Indians, but there
was great delay in starting owing to food
in river and there are but small hopes of
over5aking the murderers. Gen. Augur
fears that more extensive operations will
have to be taken against these Indians be-
fore they will remain peacesble. With
Mexico on the one side and the reservations
on the other as places of refuge and securi-
ty for themselves and and their plunder,
the present defensive.system will not effect
much. -. -.. . .-......
Grants Quaker Policy a Failure.
Gen. Sheridan, in a communication to
the War Department, says: We can never
stop wild Indians from numbering and steal
ing until we punish them. If white man
in this country commits murder we hang
him; if he steals we put him in the peniten-
tiary. If an Indian commits these crimes
we give him better fare and more blankets.
think l may with reason say that under
this policy the civilization of the wild red
man will progress slowly.

treatment of inmates of the House of Re-

this afternoon. The information obtained
showed that the cases reported by the grand
Jury were true. The boys have not only been
cruelty whipped but confined in the cells on
bread and water, forced to stand on post
about six inches square on top in the sun
at midday without hat or shoes, and sub
iected to other harsh punishments. A for
NAL examination will be made tomorrow,
at which sworn testimony will be taken.

GRANT AND GREELEY-THEIR AS.
SOCIATES CONcRASTED.

ShiOdSO AAAbNIiS"
The personal habits and tastes of the two
men-Greeley and Grant-leave no doubt.
that, in private life as well as in official life,
their associations are, and will be different,
Mr.. Greeley has no taste for horse racing
dog-fghting or drinking, and of course that
large class of persons who indulge in these
luxuries will disappear from about the
White House if he is elected. The change
cannot be for the worse.
As be will not accept presents, he will be
under no obligations to appoint men TO Of
fee who send him bonds, mortgages, horses
or dogs.
As he will owe his election to the whole
people, he will be under no necessity to Sc
lect such menl as Peter Sweeney, Daniel
Sickles, Charley Spencer, Tom Murphy, or
Boss Tweed for important trusts.
As he will not purchase votes, he will be
under no obligations to order the payment
Of stale and fraudulent claims.
As he does not seek the Office under a
premise that he shall make so much money
! during his term, he will not want the SER
vices of any professors in the science OF
Addition, Division and Silence.
Horace Greeley's supporters are to be
| found upon the farms and in the workshops
| of the country, and he need feel no shame
in recognizing them. When elected, he
will be under no apprehension that any Wis
itor will remind him of the "gloriOus
drunk" they had in st. Louis, nor how the
visitor carried him in bis ox-eart to the bar
racks in Oregon, ---e
Mr.. Greeley viii leave no doorkeepers,
male or female, to sell consulships or gen.
eral orders, and will not belong to any
'mess" to be supported by pickings from
| the Custom House.
Horace Greeley, knowing something
about the science Of government, will
have a voice in the administration, and
not be a mere fgure-head in the Cabi-
net. BE will take a larger interest in
| the affairs of the country than in
seeing that his relatives are pensioned
on the Treasury. No person employed
by the Government will be sent out TO pur
chase foreign States and private land grants,
to be paid for out of the public money, nor
| will the Government be considered one vast
| Job to be handled for the pecaniary profit of
| the Presidents personal friends.
