A QUESTION OF INsURANCE.-The
Chicago Tribune says: IA beautiful
and bashful. young woman about
nineteen called at the Office of n life
insurance agent last week, and asked
him timidly ifhe could tell how long
people of a certain age would live.
Madame replied the agent, cough
ing respectfully behind a prospectus
and drawing his chair nearer to her,
here are are tables of expectation
and average mortality, which con-
tains all the information on the sub
ject that you can DESIRE We'll, she
said, 'how long will a man of sixty
seven, and that eats peas with his
knife live?' According to our table
madam replied the agent, he should
on the average, survive eleven years
three months and sixteen days. THAT,
said the visitor, would be till the
first of August, 1SS7" Precisely,
madam, on the average expectation
of mortality. for we allmust die. and
it is, therefore well to insure against
loss to the loved ones, in q company
whose charter And how much
could l insure his life for?' ooh, for
any amount, say for $50 ,OOO,' he an
answered taking up a blank form OF
application ; let me recommend the I'M
exampled advantages offered by our
non-forfeitable endo wment policy.
Well, 'said the young woman, Tthink
then I'll marry him. Insure him
you mean p replied the agent. No,
marry him you insure him. You
see,' she added with q burst of conf
dence, Il love Herbert, and Mr.. Daw-
kins is old enough to be my grand
father. But Herbert is poor, and l
just worship the corner lots that Mr..
Dawkins builds on. And Herbert is
very patient, and says that if l will
only fix a day, no matter how long
he has TO wait, he will be happy.
Now, you say Mr.. Dawkins will die
bv the first of August, 1887, and it
wouldn't be decent to marry again
till I've been a year in mourning; I'll
arrange to marry Herbert on the I'd
of August, 1883, and if MI. Dawkins
doesn't die by that time you'll give
me $50 900. Oh, thank you.' and
with a deep bow she swept out of the
Office"

Those distinguished victims of Mr..
Bristow's prejudices in,,favor of honest
government, Newspaper Mckee and
Con Mcguire have the best accommo-
dations.that the st. Louis Jail affords,
a suite of three cells in the woman's
department. This is the first time
that q cell in the female section has
ever been occupied by a male prison
er, and no reason is given for break
ing the rule in the cases of Mckee
and Mcguire, except that they desire
to be separate from the rest of the
male prisoners. The cells are to be
fitted up in elegant style. Besides
fine Brussels carpets, they are to have
spring mattresses instead Of the straw
ticks at the Jail and tables and chairs;
the walls are to be hung with paint
lngs and pictures of all kinds. The
middle cell is to be used as a store
room and wash. closet, and the other
two cells for sleeping-room. Their
meals are to be brought to them from
the depot hotel.

Comparatively little public interest
has been manifested in the Demo-
cratic nomination for the presidency
for the reason that the country is set
thing down to the belief that the Re-
publican convention at Cincinnati will
name the winning ticket. Occasion
ally paragraphs find their way into
the papers as to what the friends OF
Tilden, Davis. Hendricks and others
are saying and doing, but the interest
in the subject takes the form of Curl
osity rather than any phase indicating
that the action ut st. Louis is to affect
the result. Governor Tilden, on the
strength of his reform dodge, is
throwing out his agents all over the
country TO secure delegates in his in
terest, but while he may be gaining
something in this way, he is losing
by the development Of a de termined
organized opposition in his own
State.

1t is worthy of remark that the
Republicans of the North west are
almost a unit for Blaine for President
as is-evident from the declarations OF
their several recent State conventions
for the appointment of delegates to
Cincinnati. The delegations of Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Kansas
Illinois and Michigan are for Blaine;
ann those of Iowa also and
those of Indiana and Ohio, each OF
which States has candidate of its
own, will no doubt 60 over TO Blaine
as their second choice. The Missouri
delegation is divided between Blaine
and Morton.

The National House wants to adj
journ before the middle of Jnne, but
it is badly in arrears with its work on
the appropriations, and cannot ex-
pect the Senate to hurry for lis con-
venience. There is a wide difference
OF opinion to be settled in regard to
all the important appropriations, and
the session may run on till Septem-
Der. 1t certainly will if the Demo-
Gratis undertake to keep their secret
Investigations running after the ad-
iournment. This would make 1t bad
for the members of the House, for
some of them must try for reelection
in October, and the whole as soon as
November, and there is n deal to do
In preparation for such a contest.
Many of the Democrats are political
accidents, and a large share of them
will be left at home but they will
make a desperate attempt to retain a
majority in the House, and in order
to do this they must get away from
Washington rs soon rs possible. The
Senate Is not hurried by any consid-
erations, and will probably take Its
time. The House cannot adjourn
without the consent of the Senate and
90 there Is ga heap o. troublev on th'
Democratic mind.

Our southern brethren make 4 Use
of the despised mule, which enables
them 10 crafty several very human
instincts at once. On the 18th of last
month there was a great mule race at
fair grounds. New Orleans, with
twelve entries. The designations OF
the animals were extraordinary.
There was the "mule Debutante, l6
years old, out of School by Accident,
dam Precocious :" the mule Cotton
Exchange, 3 years old, by Perssver.
ance out of Misfortune, dam Credita-
bic; and the like. But others of the
contestants could boast a distinctly
political pedigree. Thus. we read of
the 'mule Post-trader, five years old
by Belknap out of the War Depart
ment, dam Corrupt;" of"mule Bandit
two years old, by Phil Sheridan out
of White League" itself "two years
old ; by Desperation out of Stern
Necessity, dam Successful" "Mule
Bandit" came near turning the laugh
by winning the nrSt race, DuI was,
however. distanced by "muie Cen

'the long body of the Anniversary
of the Declaration of independence"
crossed the line a length in advance of
the descendant of Sheridan, Il wild
tumult ragged among the spectators.
The descendant of Sheridan"
nevertheless, had one more chance in
the consolidation dash of two

it by coming in first. "The OCCASION
concludes the Picdysae's reporter,

one, and certainly no one regretted
their contribution to the benefit OF

That Powder.

The Ashtabula Light ARTILLERY purchased
about 900 pounds of powder Just after the
Presidential election. but as neither the
Republicans or Democrats felt like having
any fun out Of it, the powder has remained
in the armory.
The Light Guards who occupy the room
over the Artillery. object to the powder be-
ing stored there in such quantities, and
stated their objections to officers of he
battery. who refused to remove it, claim
ing that as long as they occupy the build
ING as an armorythey have the right to store
their powder therein. The Light Guards
do not like the idea of dancing over 200
pounds of powder and how the matter
will end remains to be seen. In justice to
the ARTILLERY Co., we will say that one half
of the powder is stored in the Timber chests,
part of it in kegs and part made up into
cartridges. and the balance is in vanished
kegs. This amount OF powder would. un-
doubted, make quite a puff should it ex-
plOde all at once, but there are stores in
town that now have or have had greater
quantities than this on hand at once. The
powder still remains, and the quickest way
to settle this controversy would be for both
Democrats and Republicans to declare
their candidates elected and have the bat
terv fire it off

In watching the fluctuations in attend
ance from week to week thought our en-
rollment for the term would reach 625. 1t
cannot but be gratifying to the Board and
Teachers to notice that the attendance is
becoming more uniform. Fewer scholars
leave school after having once entered.
This is clearly indicated in the report.
While the enrolment exceeds last years
only by 4, the attendance is % more. 1t
will be noticed that the tardiness has been
reduced almost 100. Very many of the
290 cases were wholly without good ex-
cuses. The greater part of this number
was from 3 schools. There were but Is
cases of tardiness in the D Grammar, 4 in
the Grammar, and none at all in the C
Grammar. The per cent. of attendance in
the c Grammar for the term is SO. 1t was
likewise the most uniform in attendance.
the enrolment for 10 successive weeks
fluctuated from 35 to 36. These are but
the external evidences of the prosperity of
5iie SUl0ois. CT the 77=lhiarecter of the work
done my Judgment would decide ~
many respects it had never been better.
Teachers were never more faithful or so
leitous for the welfare of the respective
schools. We would be pleased to see the
Board and patrons of the school present
oftener than during the past term.

SAYBROOK,

Eds. Iel.-Now that winter has set in
in real earnest and promises to be one of
at least average severity, the chariuably
disposed naturally turn their thoughts to
those who are really needy. and as there
are but few cases of destitution in our
town, and there are so many places where
there is actual suffering for the want of
sufficient food and clothing, the ladies of
the two societies here decided upon send
ing portion of their gifts to the Home
for the Friendless in New York, and ap-
pointed day to bring to the Congrega-
tional parsonage, garments and bed clothes
already made, or the materials to make
new ones, and succeeded beyond their most
sanguine expectations, for they have just
sent off to the Home two barrels, the cash
value of which, according to the present
standard Of prices, was $40 SO. At the
same time barrel of dried apples was sent
out to the frontier mission in Nebraska
care Of Rev. Josiah Allen. Some 80 lbs.
Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1876-12-29

of the apples were left over for want Of
room and will be sent to the bethel at
Cleveland.
Band No. 8 of the Young Peoples Tenn
perance Union will give literary enter
tainment at the town hall on Friday even
ing, Dec. 29th. These entertainments by
the bands of the union have thus far been
of sufficient interest to richly pay any one
for the trouble of going to hear them.
We have some good things in Saybrook,
as for instance a pig, belonging to Mrs.
Abel Geralds, the dressed weight of which
at months old was 3261a lbs.
