MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES,
HAMBURG's from auction at Coga Hassan's

n Ma&m1meemt Trust.
The statement which appears in another col
umn of the fina ncial condition of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company of New York, is a
document of singular interest to the general
public. This corporation is now by far the
grea est financial trust on the Western Cont
nent, and even in Europe has no parallel in the
particular work assigned to it; only the two
great national banks of England and of France
having to deal with amounts Of money compare
BILE to those in its hands.
On this point the figures speak for the M
selves, and we can add nothing by comment to
the impression they will make The Company
in question holds in trust nearly quite one
sixth of the whole amount of funds devoted to
life insurance in the United States. That there
lare great advantages in the concentration of a
business like this is obvious, and is sufi GENTLY
illustrated by the statement itself, which shows
that the whole expenses of the Company, in
Guiding commissions and taxes, were last year
but little more than per cent, of the income
or much less than half the average expended
by similar companies.
1t will be seen that the Trustees seem to
have acted with wise foresight in positively
limiting the lumber of members the society will
accept. Under no circumstances will it exceed
more than one hundred thousand persons. This
number, though not vastly greater tnan its
present membership, is quite large enough to
secure all the advantages to be derived from
economy and unity of administration. Aud it
will doubtless be a long time before any similar
WI pOTdGlOu III lie WOTIu Cdu dltdIu equal Ill
mensiou and rival its position and fame.
Doubtless the Company will now rapidly fill
up its limits, of policy holders, which will be
kept constantly full and OVERLOOKING with its
superfiuous applications into its still growing
neighb rs.-Neac York Graphic,
We invite the attention of our readers to
these facts and suggest that this would be a
suitable time to apply to this great Company
before its racks are full and the dor is closed.
1t will be seen that the Pane has not effect
ed its business as it has that of nearly all 9TH
er life Companies.
There are no doubtful securities among its in
vestments and nothing can OBJECT its stability
its receipts for interest alone, being SO much
larger than its death loss7s

Correction.

Mr.. Editor-In the report of my lecture of
Sunday evening last published in your paper
Monday morning, am made to say-referring
to baptsm-that my belief was "That any sim
cere person could object to receiving the rite
when anxious to lead Christian life" which
is not my belief at all. Insert the word ''not'
between could and object, making it read
could not object to receiving, &c.," and my
meaning is expressed.
Truly yours, &C.,

THE SIAMESE TWINS.
Terms Of the Contract Between
the Family and Surgeons.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-At meeting of the
College of Physicians and Surgeons at Phla-
deIphia last night, four surgeons were appoint
ed to conduct the autopsy Of the bodies of the
Siamese TwIns The contract with the family
OF the late twins provides that the examination
be conducted only so far as to settle scientific
mysteries, forbidding any Unnecessary mutilat-
ing OF the corpses. No Photographs are to be
come the property of the widows, and all mon
ey reVertlng to them. The contract also for
bids the cutting of the connecting band in
trout, and strictly insists that all dissection of
tne same snail be made from the rear, so as not
to interfere with the appearance of the bodies
after scientific curiosity is satisfied. It is evil
dent That the families of the late twins intend
to use the corpses hereafter tor their own emol-
ument.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10.-The case contain

A MAN WORTH HEARING.-A man, who
alone and almost a stranger there, can in city
like New York, organize parish and build
and nearly pay for church seating two thou
sand people, who fill it every Sunday, must
have rare elements of power in him. This is
what Mr.. Hepworth has done within two years
in New York, where he is, perhaps, the most
popular preacher with young men in that city.
Such man may occasionally make a mistake,
as HepworLh did in his Cuba speech But in
this he is like Beecher, who Stops over now and
then as all such live men do.
Mr.. Hepworth lectures tonight at City Hall.
Go and hear him and Judge for Yourself.
