Perhaps there is no greater test of heroic
courage than a voluntary encounter with great
perils alone, where an escape from those perils
has been opened of which others have awaited
themselves. Such heroism has been recorded
this week in the case of a Norwegian captain,
Captain Adder Hansen, who on the 9th of
October left Gefe with a cargo of iron and
deals for England, and whose barque enooun-
tered, on the 10th October, so fearful a gale
that all the pumps were disabled, the ships
side injured, and a great deal of the deck-load
washed away. On the goth OF October a smack
came in sight, and Captain Hansen's crew. hot

A SNUG INVESTMENT!

We have been made acquainted by Mr.. JOHN
Life Assurance Society, with the results of cacu-
laon just made by the Directors of that represent
ative corporation which certainly deserve the at
tion of every man in the country who cares to have
his life insured in company of unsurpassed
strength at the lowest possible cost The examina-
tion referred 10 has been made for the purpose Of
ascertaining exactly what amount of accumulations
of surplus has been made by the Equitable for the
account of holders Of its Tontine policies The re-
Of insurance with investment vary, of course, In
various policies of different ages and amounts but
for practical purposes, single actual case will best
illustrate its working:
Mr.. aged 81, insured in the Equitable
July 9, 1869, on the Tontine plan, for $4,000 His
annual payment was s2s1.7O, and five payments
made amount to 81 ,40s.50. The actual result thus
far is that the surplus accumulated on this policy,
in cash, is $725.53, or fifty per cent. of the
amount paid In. The amount of each policy on
this plan is paid upon the death of the assured,
whether ii occur soon or later and in addition to
that, accumulations to be divided among sur
vivors at the end of ten, fifteen, or twenty years,
accordingly as chosen at first.
The total investment, If he continues to pay the
premiums for fifteen years, wlamount to g. 225.5O.
If he dies within that time his heirs will receive
$4,000 doubtless good investment. If he lives,
basing calculation upon the actual results of seven
years experience on this plan, Mr.. -, the
holder of the abOe policy will, at the expiration
of the 15-year-term, be entitled to cash value by
surrenderlng his policy of S6 $50, or If he chooses
paid up policy for $14 900, or if he wishes to keeI
the policy in force by paying the above premium OF
$7S 20 thereafter, subject TO the annual reduction
: by dividends, he may draw the surplus in cash
$4,l00 Truly snug investment. aD22mS

The Republican State Con-
vention--A Strong Ticket
and PIatform--victory in
the Air!

ShO Fhu
The Republican State Convention,
held at Columbus last week, was the
largest and most enthusiastic since
that of 1868, when John Brough was
brought out to beat Vallandigham,
and redeem the State from the tenn
porary lapse into the hands of the
Democratic party, which had occur
red in the preceding year. The re-
suit was the triumphant election of
the Republican candidate, and we be-
lieve it will be the same this year
There was the same spirit of deter
mination visible in the Convention of
last week, to bring back Ohio to her
true position in the van of the Re-
publican army, and it was interpreted
by every delegate as a sure omen of
a glorious victory in October.
The nomination of Ex-Gov. Hayes
was the result of an earnest convic-
ton on the part of an overwhelming
majority of the Convention that he
was the strongest candidate of all
who were named for the Office, and
though it was well known that he did
not desire the nomination and had
declined to be a candidate, it was
felt that under existing circumstances
the party had a right to call upon
him to yield his personal preferences
and accept the position. He respond
ed nobly to the call; as his friends
were confident he would, and it now
becomes the duty of every Republi-
can to see that no honorable efforts
shall be spared to secure his election.
AS gallant soldier of the Union, as
a Representative in Congress, and as
Governor of the State for four years.
his record is without a stain, and de
fes successful impeachment.
The nomination of Major Millikin
of Butler county, for State Treasu
rer, was a deserved compliment tc
the Agricultural interest, with which
he has been SO long and prominently
identified. For years he has been 6
successful practical farmer, and ar
active member of the State Board o.
Agriculture. His personal character
is without reproach, and he will hon
or the responsible Office to which he
will be called by the voice of the
people.
The remainder of the ticket il
made up of good men, worthy of The
confidence and support of the Re
publicans of Ohio. The platform il
brief, strong and decided, and ther'
can be no doubt as to what it means
The declarations in regard to the di
vision of the school funds, the unior
of Church and State, and the 'thirt
term" are such as the times demand
and will be emphatically approved b.
the people.
Altogether, the Convention did it
work well, and we confidently e1pec
to see it ratified and endorsed by /,
good, old-fashioned, rousing Repub
lican majority on the second Tuesda.
of October next.
A more detailed report of the bal
lotings, together with the platform
in full, will be found on the seconC
page.
