Notice extraordinary"

Under this heading the Tyler
Reporter has the following sensi-
BILE announcement. There is ne
class OF men called upon to do as
much gratuitous labor as the pub
Usher of a newspaper. The mass
of mankind seem to entertain the
insane idea that an editor is al
ways in need of something to sill
up" and he is therefore expected
to publish anything written for the
paper without charge, though it
should be simply to subserve some
private end. Every article of "a
private character, and that rs not
matter of interest to the general
reader, should be paid for. The
publisher pays for every type set
up, and there is no justice, poeti-
cal or other, in requiring him to
pay out money to forward the pc
cuniary interests or personal am
bition of any man without due
compensation Asimple announce
ment of death or marrige, how
ever, as matter of news, we con-
ceive, does not come under this
head, but extended notices of eth.
er, certainly do. Ifpolirical meet
ingS would have the liberality to
contribute a small amount to pay
the Publication of their long wind
ed resolutions, instead of simply
resolving that such paper be ''re.
quested to publish the proceedings
OF this meeting," a sadly imposed
upon class would be much reliev.
ed, and the ends of Justice more
nearly attained. But to the an
nouncement of our sensible con.
temporary:
We distinctly announce now
and here, that hereafter we shall
charge, a fair price for all notices
ofpublic speakings, political meet
ings, obituaries, and personal an
nouncements ofevery description.
In short, We intend TO be paid fol
everything we print or publish
which is intended to advance the
pecauiary or personal interests OF
other parties. If a thing is worth
publishing at all, it is worth pay
ing for, and "tbe laborer is worthy
lof his hire We are tired of
working for nothing and board
ourselves. Do you understand it

Embarrassed by Sudden Wealth.

Germany, from all accounts, is
in much the same condition as the
miner who has discovered tire
mendous nugget-Jr a great crown
diamond; or the unfortunately
.lucky fellow who has broken a
faro bank or drawn the capital
,or;ze in a lottery. Under the i'm
petus of suddenly wealth she has
nlnnged headlong into speculation
and extravaganza, and is now
laundering in the mire and debris
sf a financial collapse.
The actual expenses to the Ger
mans of the war with France were
978 millions of dollars. The ag
qreqate money Indemnity exacted
Of France was 1,141 millions,
whereof $50 millions have been
naid)-leaving a solid addition to
the mcnied wealth of the Empire
of S63 millions-the gain of a few
months. aud all to be received in
hard cash before the expiration
of the year 1874.
Such an immense addition to
the resorces of a people hereto
fore poor and frugal, could not
fail 60 set everything wild-to
iuusettle the whole range of val
,ues and awake spirit OF specnla-
ltioR among all classes. 1t is said
to be more difficult to take care
of money than to earn it; but
where wealth is gained by slow
and laborious accumulation, finan-
,cial knowledge and experience
came with equal steps. But the
moor man who blunderes or STUN
,hles into a sudden fortune, is gen
orally wieaout knowledge to guide
him iuiit wise disposition, or the
.sobstety so restrain him within

MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES.

Nor satisfied with the enormous success
which the principle of life assurance has al
ready achieved in this country, the actuaries
are constantly studying those subtle financia
laws which underlie investments, and every
now and then some new method is advanced
which vastly increases the utility and attrac-
tiveness of the life insurance system. Of late
years, especially, many new features have been
introduced and we have seen such expansion as
is involved in the "Dividend Policy" the CEN
dowment Policy" the 'eTontine Policy and
others designed to enable the insurer to parti-
cipate literally in the profits of the insurance,
and at the same time to reduce its cost to the
lowest possible figure. .-rv.,-e.s.
I The latest of the methods, and the most in
genious, is the plan of deposit Insurance"
adopted by the Charter Oak Life Company of
Hartford. We do not pretend to understand
all the details of this'plan, but it furnishes in
surance at much less than the usual rates,
makes the best form of endowment, and gives
a cash surrender Udl,te at the end of each policy
year. This latter feature is a highly valuable
improvement on any of the old plans, and
brings life insurance into the list of regular and
available investments. 'f n-t Il
The Charter Oak is one of the old reliable
Connecticut companies; has assets to the
amount of $10,0OO,OOO, and ranks among the
best in the country. 5s.'i
