HOME INVESTMENTS.

hoVhE LIN
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. rc sat
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-
partlnent."
Section 81 also provides that "the 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 savings bank deposit, or
self-insurance applicable only to that particular
policy itself, when it becomes a claim. and only
needs to have its principal secure and its interest
sufficient, 1t would not seem possible to have it
invested too near the locality where that par
ticular policy will become claim"
To this feature of local representation and in
vestment the Association largely owes its
UNPARALLELED SUCCESS.

Tho Result

THE reelection OF President Grant was
foreRbne conclusion before the general
election. What remained In regard TO II
was q mere question Of majorities In the
various States. The carrying Of New
Jersey, Delaware, and other States
marked down as doubtful, but serves to
show the hearty Endorsement which
General Grant has received from the peo-
pie. The hybrid party has received the
rebuke 1t deserved and courted. The
campaign has sifted out OF the Republican
party its previously doubted and recalci.
trant members. A representative gang of
offlce-seekers have got the rebuke they
deserved. A profound sense Of satisfac.
ton reigns throughout the country. The
defeat of the Greeleyites has been 30 great
that they are utterly discounted. They
must feel now that 1t takes ideas, issues
of Importance, real questions, vital mat
ters of reform, to make a new party.
Many thought that, though the Liberals
might fail this time, they held the
nucleus of 6 successful party, which
would bear fruition four years
hence they imagined that the Republi.
can party would be eclipsed in the
same way that the Democratic party was
by the election of Lincoln; but the over
whelming result of the 5th has driven all
idea of this kind from the heads of
reasonable men. If the Republican party
proves false to its trust, it can be de-
feated; but it is still too young and
honest to think of death for long while
to- come. A wiRdbag has been exploded
For the honor of American politics let us
have no more of the kind. Chicago Inter.

Thirty horses died in Chicago on the 7th /;
twenty the day before. The deaths were
generally attributed to the horses being
worked too soon after being sick. The en-

says; can election was held to-day In the
Sixth Ward TO Al vacancy in the City
Council. Just before the closing Of the
polls crowd Of about 1000 persons was
gathered around the corner Of Fayette street
and Broadway. A party Of men, mostly
colored, left the crowd, and proceeded about
midway to Broadway, when they turned and
deliberately fred upon the crowd in front of
the voting place, killing Isaac Boss, aged 10,
and mortally wounding John Conway, aged
35. Another boy received q flesh wound.

when those fred into returned the shots.
Some 18 or 90 shots were fred in minutes

THE OLD WORLD.

According to information recently received
by the Department of State at Washington,
the statement, published in this country du-
ring July last, that the German Government
was seeking to prevent emigration to the
United States, and had adopted stringent
measures for that purpose, is denied by that
Government, which disclaims having issued
any orders interfering with or discouraging
the emigration of its citizens to this coun-
try.
Pc continued to rise, and the inundation
was increasing. Families were flying, and
those who could not escape were starving on
the house-tops and in trees where they mad
taken refuge. Streams were filed with the
carcases Of cattle and wrecks of houses
and barns. The town of Reggie, fourteen
miles from Modena, lad almost entirely dis
appeared beneath the food.
A dispatch from Pekin announces that the
Emperor of China was married on the 18th
Of October. There was no outside ceremony
other than the procession, which escorted
the bride from her residence to the Imperial
palace.
The municipal elections throughout En-.
gland on the LIST resulted in heavy Conserva-
tive gains, Wnlcn are aLJIlDuIcu W buo pas
sage of the Licensing act. There was much
dissatisfaction at the working of the new
Ballot act. The voting was SO slow that in
many places all the votes could not be polled.

killed by the falling walls and timbers. One
thousand fam lilies were made homeless.
Post, the American Consul at Vienna, Aus

A few days ago, in a mine at Maurburg
Belgium, the lowering machinery gave way
as a gang of miners were descending tC
work. Twenty one men and boys were pre-

of the shaft, and all killed.
Paris dispatch OF the 7th says there was

Our Great Victory.

The result of the Great Election yes
terday is everything that the most earnest
Republican and the most devoted patriot
could desire. President Grant is re-elect-
ed for second term by majority that Is
huge and overwhelming. He has carried
at least twenty eight of the thirty. seven
States, and probably more, and will have
but little, if any, short of 300 of the 1865
electoral votes.
All things considered, this is one of the,
most significant victories ever achieved
in our national politics.. 1t is full of
gratifying facts and great lessons. 1t In,
sures a wise and stable Governmental
policy, and the continued peace and pros,
perity of the country, upon the basis OF
justice and the national honor and integ-
rity. 1t also open the eyes of such pre-
sumptuous and treacherous politicians
as Trumbull, Sumner and Schurz to
new revelation, that ought to have
the effect of making them more
modest and less conceited. 1t also proves
that the day of mere political clap-trap,
such as Mr.. Greeley and his friends relied
upon, has gone by-that our people have
become too intelligent and discerning to
be attracted or beguiled by such preten-
tious humbuggery as old hats, old white
coats, personal eccentricity, or other RI
diculous atfectations and exhibitions Of
political Chappaquackery.
There is popular joy throughout the
United States to-day over this great Re-
publican victory. We congratulate the
Western public upon the. grand result.
The West has nobly demonstrated her
fidelity TO principle and progress, as with
equal emphasis she proved the genuineness
! of her patriotism and courage during the
war for the preservation of the Union. -

Comets and their Tails.

In discussing the erratic bodies Pro.
fessor Zollner starts with the fact that
fluids as water, mercury, aud solids Of
nearly oil kinds, give off vapor Of low
tension, though 10 too small quantity
TO be recognized by any tests with which
we are at present acquainted. Il there
fore follows that the masses of matter
scattered throughout space are ultimate.
y surrounded with an atmosphere of
their own yapor. Ii the volume of such
masses is too small to exert sufficient
attrSstive force to retain this vapor, the
whole mass ultimately assumes the va
porous state Professor Zollner thinks
that many Of the small comets are such
masses ofyapor, while others are fluid,
consisting OF water or perhaps OF liquid
hydrocarbons, au idea which is fortified
by the character Of the speetra of Ger.
tain nebule as well us Of some of the
smaller comets.
Regarding the elfluminosity Of
comets and the formation oftheir trainsi
Professor Rollner says, there are but
two causes which can produce the frs,
Of these results viz, elevation Of te IN.
perture and electric action. Setting
the first asideas being utterly inadequate
under the circumstances, the author
thinks that the electricity developed by
the solar rays, either in the process Of
evaporation or by the mechanical and
molecular disturbances they produce, is
amply Sufficient to cause the luminosity
and also to form the train. The expaua
tion here given of the formation Of the
tails or trains of comets is exceedingly
ingenious, for it not only applies in
those instance in which the train is
directed from the sun, acting under
these circumstances by repulsion, but it
also accounts for the fact that in some
instances the tail is directed toward the
sun, there being under these eircum.
stances electrical attraction instead of
repulsion.

wish to say is, that the writer, above
referred to, is not authorized 10 speak
for the people of Carroll county" nor

speak for the people Of Baltimore and
Cecil counties. If he wished to injure
Mr.. Archer's prospects for renomina-
ton, he could not have taken better
plan to do SO than to assume that sit is
the height Of folly for any one TO make
an issue against him" Our public men
are the servants Of the people, and the
people will set up, or set down, whom
they please; nor would ii be the ''height
Of folly" in them to set aside even so
popular gentleman as Mr.. Archer.
They have thrice honored him with
their confidence already, aud that ought
to be sufficient to satisfy any reasonable
ambition. Rotation ia Office is good
democratic doctrine, and there is no
need of keeping one gentleman in office
for SO long time, when there are others
capable of taking his place, who are
quite as popular and quite as compe-
tent.
Your correspondent does not doubt
that Carroll, Baltimore, and Cecil coun-
ties, will each present candidates for
the nomination, when the time arrives,
and if any other gentleman than Mr..
Archer should be preferred by the
Convention, | am sure that the friends
Of that gentleman would be satisfied
