HOMEOPATHIC Life Insurance.

There is so great difference in doctors, in
their theory and practice and their success, that
it seems the most natural thing in the world
Though we do not know that it ever has been
done except in one or two instances for Life
Companies to graduate their charges for In
surance according to the skill and intelligence
of the party's family physician. This idea is
being carried out with remarkable success by
the Homeopathic Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York. Its last statement,
published on Jan. l, 1875 shows that during
the last seven years it has insured 5, l73 per-
sons who employed Homeopathic practice,
of whom thirty -eight-three-fou of per
cent--have died in that period, while out OF
1885 persons insured who did not employ
Homeopathic physicians titty-or over per
cent-have died.
This would seem almost incredible were il
not backed up by other reliable statistics
which the company has collected from other
sources, and which it has also published and
largely distributed. But the Homeopathic
Mutual" clinches its belief by its practice, and
boldly offers to insure its adherents at rates
from 10 TO II per cent less than the regular
terms. 1t evidently means business; and &C
cording to its statement, appears to be among
the soundest and most vigorous of the young
er companies. Parties desiring further in
formation or to act as agents can obtain all
statistics by addressing the Company, 23l
Broadway, New York.

Poisoned 70 Death.

healthy liver secretes each day about two

great amount OF waste material taken from

congested it fails to eliminate this vast
amount of noxious substance, which, there
veyed to every part Of the system. What
must be the condition OF the blood when it is
receiving and retaining each day two and a
half pounds of poison? Nature tries to work
off this poison through other channels and
organs-the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc; but
these organs become overtaxed In performing
this labor in addition to their natural func-
tions, and cannot long withstand the pressure,
but become yariously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical
center of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by
the unhealthy blood which passes to II from
the heart, and it fails to perform its office
beautifully. Hence the symptoms of bile
poisoning, which are dizziness, headache, In

GUS feelings, gloomy forebodings and irrita-
bility of temper. The blood itself being dis

it produces discolored brown spots, pimples,
blotches and other eruptons, sores, boils,
carbuncles and scrofulous tumors. The

COUNTY COURT.
Refusal to Make Appropriations as Re
quired by Law-The Memphis and
Raleigh NarrOW-GauSe Rail-
road Bonds.

The principal business before the cOun-
ty court yesterday was the hearing of petit
tiOns and passing upon accounts, etc.
Yesterday Judge J. E. r. Ray asked the
the court to make the quarterly apprOpria-
ton due him as judge and provided IOT by
the legislature in its act of July ], 1870, eStab-
fishing the probate court of Shelby county.
Section SIX of this act provides: That the
salary OF the said judge of said probate court
shall be the same as hat of the chaucellOrs
and circuit judges Of shelby county, pro-
county court of Shelby, and it is hereby made
the duty of said county court to make the
TeceSsaTy appropriation therefor" This is
the law, but the chairman merely issues his
warrant upon the trustee Tor the amount OF
salary Que, and consequently there being no
money in the treasury of the county, the
judge has to sell his warrant at heavy dis
count. he asked in his petition tuat the
court comply with the law ana make the Ie-
qured appropriation. This request was oD-
posed, Justice Walker speaking against it,
and the court failed to make the apprOpria-
ton by one vote The justices are doubtless
ignorant of the law upon this subject. AS
they are now informed, 10 is hoped they will
act accordingly,
J. W. Scales presented a petition, stating
that he had thirty-nine bonds of the Raleigh
railroad company, which bonds were issued
by the county of shelby. He proposed to &C.
cept sixty per cent, of the face value of the
bonds and coupons provided that the pay
ty pay the costs in the two suits already COM
menceG; tuat he viii accept hfty-fVe per
cent. Ct the face Of bonds and seventy five per
cent. of the face of coupons. This offer was
referred to the county attorney and Esquire
