The New England Mutual Life Insurance
Company.

American life insurance was in its veriest infancy
when the New England Mutual Life, of Boston, was
organized on Dec. 1, 1Si3, under charter granted
April 1, 1885. Nearly third of a century ago it be-
gan business, when the circumstances of American
life were far different than at present, when life
insurance had received comparatively little study and
was but slightly understood, and when there existed
little promise of the business ever attaining the
magnitude and Importance which almost single COM
panies have since attained. The charter of tho COM
pany required guarantee capital of $780, 900, fifty
per cent OF which should be paid in in cash, and it
was not until Feb. that the company, organized on
the preceding list of December, had received this
amount, fixed its rates or premium, determined ON
its forms of policy and completed such other pre-
liminaries as necessarily preceded the beginning Of
business. When business did begin, it was with
Willard Phillips as president, Jonathan Amory as
secretary, and George Hayward, NJ. D., as medical
examiner. AS there have been, since the organza-
ton of the company but few official changes it may
be we'll to present here in succinct form an exhibit
of the succession of officers and the term each has
served: -

SoUAwKED.-It grieves us to record it, but
necessity compels. Luther has been driven into
his boots. With bombastc stride he has been
wandering up and down our streets seeking
whom he might devour, as he thought, with
his loud-mouthed proposition to bet from $40
to $1,000 that Tilden would be elected Luther
laid the fl altering JUNCTION to his soul that
thousand dollar men didn't grow bereabouts,
and thought he could make such loose talk
with great political effect. But he reckoned in
the absence of his host This afternoon a dis
tinguished Republican, through another party,
waited upon him and informed him that he
had just one thousand dollars on which he de-
sired to get one hundred per cent. interest for a
week, when suddenly change o'erspread the
classic features of the disciple of the great tax
evader, and to make long story short, he sub
sided, backed down, 'squawked." The Repub-
lican now respectfully requests that Luther
will put up now or forever after hold his peace
