ABOUT ST. LOUIS HOTEL.

patriot who was won't to hang about Its
portals and quaff foaming beakers OF

quently the haunted house was most

superfuous metros, the confiding Office

know.
Down in the hall, however, a sedate
stack Of muskets serves to remind one
OF the military power and glory of the
Packard government, whilst the Bah

SOUND INSURANCE..

The hostile Investigations into life in.
surance and the collapse of so many I'm.
sound insurance companies are directly
favorable to sound and strsng companies.
The managers Of these must often have
been annoyed at the conduct OF compe,i.
tors who have striyen to get business from
them by undertaking, offering insurance
for less than its cost and making
reckless investments OF the
proceeds OF this course. The
managers OF the great companies who
have managed them with caution and
Conservatism, refusing to tempt custom.
ers by Offering bargains which could not
surely be carried out and to make "prom.
ising" and precarious investments, have
now their reward. We print to-day the
result OF the Official examination of the
New York Life. 1t is evident that Sc
verer test could not be applied to an in.
furance company than the careful ap.
praisal OF all its assets at their present
market value. This test applied
to the New Y ork Lite shows a surplus
OF about 5000 900, or nearly one.flfth Of
the whole admitted assets" OF the COM
pany; which seems remarkable in view of
the great depreciation since many of the
compaLy's investments were made. The
table Of stocks and bonds is particularly
interesting and creditable. A total adj
vance of 10 per cent over cost price in
any list OF permanent Investments at this
time Is an evidence OF unusual foresight
and sagacity.

TO attack the Union army In ii, position,
General Longstreet was doubual OF the
wisdom OF the move and so expressed
himself. Lee, himself, on the field, when
he saw that Longstreet's opinion
was being terrified, had the
generosity 10 admit that he
was wrong, saying: 'lt ID my fault, but
We will make it right another time
However, as IL was, warmed up by some
advantages gained by the troops under
Hi and Ewell in the preliminary en-
gagement, General Lee adhered 10 his
previous determination, and the attack
was ordered, Longstreet's corps being
assigned 10 the leader. The description
OF the assault by Pickett's division and its
terrible reception and repulse, on the
