TONTlNE PLAN,

orupon the principle of accumulating profits for
definite periods, which was first introduced by this
Society, and has been recommended and endorsed
by eminent experts in Life Insurance, and by lead
ing business men. Forty-four per cent has been
earned and accumulated on the premium. paid on
its Tontine Life Policies, and forty per cent. its
Tontine Endowment Policies issued within the last
five years.
The Directors of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society represent exclusively the interests of the
Policy holders, and in presenting the Society to
ticc they feel that it has strong claims upon public
confidence, because of the strict and conservative
principles by which its various departments are
governed. In the assets and in the administration
of the Society perfect security is given for the fu
ture, which is of great impo lance to those depend
ing upon their insurance policies tor the ultimate
support of their families
No Life Insurance Company has such large an
nual transactions as the Equitable; none is more
prompt and just in its dealings.

THE CUBAN BUSINESS.

The difficulty about the delivery of the
Virginius If any has really existed has not
been with the Spanish government, which
is ready to fulfill its pledges to the letter.
but with the crowd in Cuba which would
be in open revolt against the authorities at
Maarid-and would have been so long
ago-only that such a scheme, is i'm
practicable There is not particle Of 10y
atty or love in the breasts Of the faction
that are responsible for the murder of the
prisoners taken on the Virginius for the
home government. They are attached to
the old order Of things. They desire roy
atty and the privilege of slaveholding.
They dislike republican institutions, be-
cause the few could not then ride rough
shod over the many, and they know that
if CASTELAR, succeeds in keeping his posi-
tion,. slavery on the island is doomed. For
them to be obliged TO give up the Virgin
ius, over whose capture they exulted SO
ostentatiously, at the command of the
home government which they hate and
would defy were they able. is hard task
There is no remedy however, for Spain is
pledged that it will be done, and the Unit
ed States means that it shall be done. We
can imagine that CASTELAR, has little SYM
patty for the Cubans in the strait TO which
they are driven, for they have been SC
troublesome and defiant towards Madrid
In the management Of their affairs, that
there ought to be satisfaction felt there in
stead of grief that this Cuban faction mus
submit to authority and eat humble pie.

ways supposed that Congress was the law
making power of the nation, and that to make
any Law the concurrent action of three distinct
branches Of the government was required
viz: House, q Senate and President
The House Of Representatives is but one
branch Of Congress, and yet that is called, in

in the Republican party could bring the ex-
perience that Mr.. Blaine possesses to bear
upon the now more than ever difficult and inn

him rising, at such a time, above partisanship

son Life," in volume now in press,
which is designedsespecially for soldiers,
we observe many points worthy Of at
tention from every one, in whatever
position he may be placed. For exam
Pile:
Be sure not to overrate abilities,
but remember that your superior may
at any time stand at your elbow
Do not distrust others without most
just reason. -,
If you are married, respect no one
socially who has not been duly courteous
to your family.
Be decided, kind, and polite in all
your official and private relations.
Live within Your income, and be just
in all you dealings.
Be faithful to all your friends, and
cautious with your enemies.
Never allow yourself to be led into
the bad habit of grumbling or fault
finding, but be pleasant, agreeable, and
cheerful in all your duties.
Be careful, active, vigilant, and
considera1e in the execution of all your
duties; and above all, be just to your
interiors.
If all persons, soldiers included,
followed these maxims," F." the troubles
Of life would grow beautifully less.
SOME wag at Fort Wayne mailed
letters to a score of business men
