At q recent school meeting" in the
western part Of the State, a lady teacher,
in referring to the present epidemic Of
extravsgancS aud crime, hit the nail on
the head when she said:
Rich people know why they lose their
riches, but what ails the poor and rich
alike is fringe and feathers. Twenty
years ago a poor mans wife, like me,
put on a decent sun bonnet to 20 to mar
kst. Every dollar she saved went to buy
a home for Der children, or went into
the savings bank. Now she keeps a SER
want, and calls in a snowy silk and feath-
cred hat to leave her orders at the gro
GERS. There's..no money at the end Of
the year to buy a house, or even to pay
the grocer's bill. Feathers and fringe
did the work with all of us "-Learea-

Why IFS Affairs are 10 be wound Up
"A Fl1tter in Insurance
Circles.
Nashville American, 23d.I
A few days ago the following circular
was issued to the policy holders of the
Nashville Life Insurance Company:
NASHVILLE. Tenn. March IA, 1876.
The Nashville Life Insurance Com
pany, desiring to wind up its business at
as early a period as may be practicable
and just to its policy holders, has decided
to issue no new policies.
This course has been determined upon
after free and full consultation with both
policy holders and stockholders, and
meets with general approval.
The continued heavy death losses OF
the Company during the past three years
have caused @ serious impairment Of its
capital, and rendered this change neces.
sary for ne protection Of lis policy
holders.
The company holds a sufficient reserve
in good assets TO meet the requirements
Of the Tennessee law fixing the standard
Of %solvenOy, but the heavy cost Of pre-
curing new business, the unusual death
rate from which all similar companies
doing q Southern business have suffered)
and the decrease of premium receipts,
all consLire TO render it difficult to con,
duct the affairs Of the company safely
or successfully. Under these circum-
stances it is deemed just and proper that
the company should offer its policy
holders whose policies have become non.
forfeitable by their terms, and who may
desire it, the surrender value of their
policies in cash, provided the application
for the same is made according to the
terms Of the policies.
Surrender values are indersed upon
all policies issued since September l,
1872, and the same cash surrender values
will be paid on policies issaed prior to
that time.
Policy holders who prefer to continue
the payment OF premiums are required,
in all cases, to pay them at the Com
psnys Office in Nashville.
To save expense no collecting agents
are employed.
The payment to a former ageHt, or de-
posting the premium in any bank or
elsewhere than the home office, is not a
payment to the Company or a compli-
ance with the policy contract.
All policies show the date of the ma
turity of premiums, and the Company
is not bound to give other notice, and
where other notice may not be received,
the Company cannot be held response
BILE for it.
As the Company will not be able to
pay any dividend this year to its psrtic.
ipating policy holders. the full premium
must be paid in all cases.
By order Of the Board of Directors.

MAKING a salary Histolic.

We hear without regret Of the passage
by the Senate Of 3 bill reducing the sal.
airy of the President to $25, 900 after the
4th OF March next, The same provision
having been Incorporated into the legis-
lstive, executive and judicial ~appropria-
tioA bill by the committee Of the House
of Representatives, the measure will
doubtless become a law at the present
session. Thus the only President who
will have the advantage Of the $4,000
will be the present incumbent,
who served one term at $25, 900 a year,
and is BOW in the fourth year Of his sec.
ond term at $4,000. We are to return
to the presidential salary, if not to the
Republican simplicity, Of former years.

Our readers will remember Buffalo Bill

in a border drama several months ago.
He is a noted Western scout, and after
he finishes his winter engagements on
the stage, returns to the prairies.
A few weeks ago he went 10 Texas, and
after being there awhile the sheriff Of
Young county attempted to arrest him,
when he resisted, The sheriff and he
Drew their weapons at the same moment

took effect, but Buffalo Bill missed his

The correspondent of the Paris Temps
who has followed the Prince of Wales
through India relates an amusing story
Of an %oyer.zeslous policeman. While in
Ceylon, the Prince paid a visit to the
public gardens at Colombo, and a police
officer noticing that a tall gentleman
with a heavy beard" was following close
behind him, went up to him and said in
an angry tone: why the devil don't
you take your hat Of, sir?' The gentle.
man replied that when he met the Prince,
or had occasion to address him, he took
his hat of, but that at other times he re-
NAMED covered. AS the policeman had
not the power to compel him to walk
bareheaded, he oontented himself with
limiting in a m%enscing tone: you had
better stand back, and not dog his Royal
Highness like that. The correspondent
Of the Temps adds that the police officer,
when he ascertained that the suspicious
character" was the Duke Of Sutherland,
was on the point Of falling TO the
ground senseless, as ono who had had a
s%unstFoke." But the French correspou.
dents are prone TO invention.

Present and Future Punishment.


In u Of eur courts, yesterday, a lit.
tie negro girl was introduced az a wit
ness. The Judge asked her il abe knew
the nature Of an oath, to which she
promptly replied, 20 yes, sir" What
will become Of you il you swear to a
lief" inquired the Judge. The girl
studied for q few seconds and answered:
Use be sent down to Mr.. Forests Is.
land" This answer caused no little
merriment, but the Judge at once pro-
nOuuced the witness competent. She
did not know much about future rewards
aud punishments, hut she had a healthy
idea of punishment in this world at the
Presidents Island workhouse.

How a Woman Reads a Newspaper.

Somebody says that one who watch
es a woman read a newspaper, will get
some new ideas on the characteristics
of the gentler sex. She takes it up
hurriedly aud begins to scan it over
rapidly, as though she was hunting
some particular thing; but she is not.
She is merely taking IN the obscure
paragraphs, which she half believes
were put in out of the way places for
the sole purpose of keeping her from
seeing them. AS she finishes each
one her countenance brightens with
the comforting reflection that she has
outwitted the editor and the whole
race of men, for she cherishes vague
belief that newspapers are the ene-
mics of her sex, aud editors its chief
oppressors. She never reads the head
lines, aud the huge telegraph heads
she never even sees. She Is greedy
for local news, and devours it with the
keenest relish. Marriages and deaths
are always interesting reading to her,
and advertisements are exciting and
stimulating. She cares but little for
printed jokes, unless they reflect ridi-
cule upon the men, and then she de-
iigulS III tutlll diiA ucNcI lOTSctS 1ucills
She pays particular attention to any
thing inclosed by quotation marks,
and considers it rather better authors
ty than anything first-handed. The
column in which the editor airs his
opinions in loaded hifalutin she rarely
reaCs. Views are of no Importance in
her estimation, but facts are every
thing. She generally reads the poet
ry. She dosen't always care for 1t,
but she makes a practice Of reading it,
because she thinks she ought to. She
reads stories and sketches and para
graphs indiscriminatsiy and believes
every word of them. Finally, after
she has read all she intends to, she
lays the paper down with an air of
disappoIntm ent, and half-contempt-
uous gesture, which says very plainly
that she thinks all newspapers miser-
able failures, but is certain that If she
had the chance she could make the
only perfect newspaper the world has
ever seen,

Gold Note Banks.

The quarterly statements OF Gold
Note Banks of California are at hand,
post dated May 18th, in compliance
with instructions from Controller
Knox. Contrary to expectations,
these banks are not making the prog
ress desired. Up to the suspension Of
the National Gold Bank and Trust
Company, their course had been one
of steady increase. Since then no
new banks of this character have
been organized, and some of those al
ready in existence have been with
drawing a portion of the bonds depos-
tied at Washington, and thus reduce
ing their note circulation. The Bank
at Sacramento has withdrawn $780,
900; the one at Stockton, $50, 900; the
one at Santa Barbara, $66, 900; and
the one at San Jose, $4,000, making
total of S266,O00 bonds withdrawn,
representing reduction of S236, 500
in the note circulation outstanding,
independent of the cancelled notes Of
the suspended bank amounting to
S760,000 more. In consequence OF
causes already referred to, the gold
note circulation of the coast has been
reduced about s., 900, 600 or over 40 per
cent. during the years. f. Stock Er-
