CAp1ToLrAN.- ball of the House Of
Delegates has been greatly improved within
the past few days. In the aisles new kind
OF cork mating, neat-looking and noiseless
to the feet, has been laid. The other por-
tions of the floor have been covered with
dark-fgured carpet. A gang Of convicts,
under Policeman Cordle, are now putting
up and cleaning of the desks.
The most casual observer cannot help
seeing and lamenting that the Speakers )
chair-purchased about two years ago at
very considerable cost-has been badly
used and kept. The dust has settled deeply
into the velvet covering. The exquisite little
writing-desk which Speaker Hanger was
always careful not to touch with bis gayel
has been hammered and battered-by per-
| sons presiding over public meetings, it is
said. --- -
Sheehan's model for the Lee statue has
been placed in the State Library.
| No decision yet as to the models.

THE NEW YORK LIFE-1SsURANcE Com
PANY.-The policy-bolders OF this company
will be interested in.the report OF the super.
intendent Of the insurance department oi
the State OF New York, published elsewhere
in our columns to-day. Besides the assll-
RANGES therein given OF the great strength OF
this prosperous company, 1t must not be
forgotten that it has on deposit with the
Treasurer of Virginia 259,000 in Richmond
city eight per cent. bonds, and we believe is
the only life company now doing. business
in this State which has so large deposit.
The New York Journal Of Commerce says,
editorially:
"No official certification could be stronger
or more gratifying than that given to this
great corporation by Superintendent Smytb,
published in the Journal Of Commerce to-
day. The inquiry has been long, labo-
rious, and thorough, going patiently into
the numberless details of the company's
business since the date Of it. organization.
It has required the personal services OF the
superintendent, a deputy, force OF depart
meat clerks, and OF forty-one gentlemen OF
high reputation in private life, whose work
was to appraise the property owned by the
company or held as security by it. The re-
suit is perfectly satisfactory as to titles,
values, and in all respects. The cash &C.
curities are declared to be Of the most uneX.
ceptionable character and worth S5S0,5l5.76
more than their cost. The superintendent
verifes all the items OF liability-real, actual,
or contingencies sworn to by the officers in
their annual report. He praises the man.
agement OF the medical, actuarial, and
agency departments Of the company, and
eXtols its system OF bookkeeping, which,
he says, seems to be perfect Judging
its resources by the hardest test, and elimi.
mating all doubtful matters, he puts the net
surplus OF the New York Life at S5,962,.
S7S.79, and, finally, does not hesitate to say
that it is entitled to public confidence and
its officers to his warmest commendation.
In proportion as the ordeal OF the examina
ton has been severe is the value OF this Of
fcial tribute to the strength and excellent
management OF this company
