THE FEMALE MNsTRELs. Hall was
packed last evening by men who went to fir own
down the audacious performance of Madame
Rentz and her troupe of female minstrels. In
order to frown more effectually they took their
opera glasses. They were the maddest men in
the country, for the show was decent and rath-
er dull.
The show was a combination of minstrel en-
tertainment and gymnastc exhibition. The
Jokes were as old as the women and as poor as
the songs. The gymnastic feats were excellent.
Lolo, ''the queen of the air. had fit of the
sulks and did not appear; but her place was
more than supplied by Hill, who is an accom-
plished athlete, and who performed some start
ling feats.
There were half -a-dozen women all with d
tendency to rouge and some with an inclina-
tion to consumption. They sang, and one Of
them danced highland fling. showing rather
more agility than grace. The can-can was a
burlesque, and the audience were very much
disappointed, for they were there to see some
thing nau ghty.

WE notice by the abstract Life Chart just
printed from the official returns of the differ
ent insurance companies doing life business
in Maine the past year, that the Equitable Life
Assurance Society of the United States heads
the list both in amount of new business and in
the increase of premium receipts.
Mr.. J. f. Clark. General Manager for the
State, informs us that the general business de-
preston had no visible influence with the sue
cess of his agency during 1874, thus showing
that the Equitable must be exceedingly popu-
lar.
We also notice that nearly one-fourth of all
the life business transacted in the state by
thirty-three companies was done by the Equit-
able, that is, that it did nearly eight times the
average amount of all the companies
1t does not seem so strange that men prefer
the Equitable when it's strength of $27 10000
its income annually of $1O,OOO.O0O and its sur
plus IF 100000 are taken into account. 1t
issues all the ordinary forms of policies that
first class companies do, also the Tontine which
is very attractive to capitalists as an invest
ment.
