the universal shrinkage Of values
has added to the general calamity.
Is it any wonder that benevolent
societies, with an endowment fea-
ture, spring up and prosper in the
country? The rituals, ceremonies,
forms, and all the secret work, are
doubtless instructive, improving
and attractive. Aside from this,
the members agree that when one
dies all will submit to an assess
ment of a dollar each, provided
there is no money in the general
treasury. The family of the de-
ceased receives one or two thousand
dollars net, as the case may be,
without delay, trouble or expense.
When the assessment is exhausted
another one is made. Each lodge
fixes its own dues sufficient to pay
ordinary expenses, but the general
assessments go solely to pay ben
efts, without the deduction Of
a cent to pay Office rents, gas
bills, fine, carpets and desks,
or other furniture, books, circulars,
agents commissions, officers sala-
ries, lawyers fees, taxes, shrinkage
or speculative losses of any kind
whatsoever. The fund is sacred, and
never used for but one purpose.
The Monitor says, in italics, "No.
more can be taken out than is put
That is true in the course of
a certain number of years, but then
the benevolent orders have the adj
vantage that they escape all the
expenses enumerated above. The
principle is so simple that any one
can understand it. No large funds
accumulate in these orders, and
therefore the officers cannot indulge
in Speculations, if they would. The
amounts paid are small and fixed,
and the system commends itself to
all intelligent men Of small means,
and the rich ones do not need to
insure. There are three of thee
orders in Memphis working
upon the same general principle

of United Workmen and In

The Disappearance of $4,000 from
an:ExpresB Package.
ST.. LOUIS, June l5.-The Times has a
special from Mount Vernon, ILL.,, which
says chat on Monday last the Mount
Vernon National Bank shipped by the
Adams Express a package containing
$4,000 to the Third National Bank of St.
Louis. On Wednesday the Mount Yer.
0 bank received a telegram from St.
Louis saying the package contained only
pieces of brown wrapping paper cut the
size Of bank notes. The bank officers
here say the package showed no evi.
dence Of having been tempered with, but
it contained no money. The express
people say the package was delivered
to the bank here just as it was re
ceived by their agent at Mount
Vernon, the. seals being intact on the
wrapper, and the seals of the package
were the same as used by the bank.
There is great mystery in the case,
which is being investigated by both
bank and express officials.

THE STATE

The trustees of the East Ten.
nessee University held their annual
meeting in Knoxville last Tuesday.
The new trustees, created under a
recent act Of the Legislature, were
admitted and entered with the old
ones harmoniously upon the di1-
charge of their duties. The new
members are Messrs. John Will
liams, John NJ. Fleming, A.. Cald-
well, Samuel Mckinney, J. W. Gaut,
George Brown, J. f. Deaderick and
R. ]. Wilson. The degree of ID.
was conferred upon the Rev. W. A.
Harrison, pastor Of the Third Pres
tyterian Church Of Knoxville. The
report Of the treasurer, Colonel
G. NJ. McGhee, was read and
referred to the finance committee.
Colonel Moses White was appointed
to fill the vacancy o~ccasioned by
the death Of Senator Brownlow. A
committee consisting of Rev. Jas.
Park, DID, John N. Fleming, VIM.
Rule, A. Caldwell, @. Deaderick
and W. A. Henderson was appoint
ed to report upon the progress and
present condition Of the University;
what notifications can be advan-
tageously made in the course Of
study or the assignment of labor to
the various professorships ; what
change, if any, ought to be made
in the number or personnel OF the
faculty, and, generally, to report
upon any matter calculated "to
promote the interests Of the insti-
tuition and education therein" The
board meets again next Monday. 1t
is to be hoped that the causes, if any
exist for the recent unfortunate
controversy in regard to the insti-
tuition, will be removed and that a
proper and harmonious under
standing may hereafter prevail in
the board and in the public mind.

SKAGIT, Dec. 10, 1877.
ED. INTELLIGENCER:-Please give
place in your valuable paper. which has
the greatest circulation of any in the
Territory. to these few items concerning
this favored Blu: yet little known por-
ton Of the Sound country,
Settlers are rushing IN here very fast.
and we think we are destined to have
one of the richest valleys in the Terri
tory, as we have got everything to bring
US wealth-the best of lands. mex
hsustible stretches of splendid timbeS,
and the best coal to be found anywhere
on the Sound. In addition to these
great resources, there has lately been
discovered bed of as handsome mar
BILE as / have ever seen, some
specimens of which are new on
exhibition at the Mount Vernon store.
There is also quarry of excellent ssnd-
stone about nine miles above the Jam,
where the stone can be taken out in
any size that may be desired. They
would make the very best of sidewalks
for your city. There is also another
large quarry of soapstone. and in one
or two localities near by excellent beds
of clay. which are thought here to be
as good potters' clay as can be found
anywhere.
What we want, is for some of your
enterprising business men, and men of
means, to come here and investigate
our resources for themselves. and to
help develop them. for Seattle is the
emporium of the Sound from whence
we draw our supplies. and to which we
look for aid in building up this coun-
try.
/ have no local news to give. further
than that business is progressing; that
Mr.. Gage is now running his logging
camp full handed; and that the Jane
Company are still at work doing their
best to get the jam removed. They
have spent q great deal of time. labor
and money in the undertaking. but so
far haye realized but little. A. II.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10. 1877.
EDITOR INTELLIGENcER:-O morn
ing papers report the arrival of the
Forest Queen at Port Ludlow. Dec. 16.
and Dsshing Wave at Tacoma. Dec. %
Each of these vessels are now on their
twentieth trip from San Francisco to
their respective ports. The former
sailed Dec. q, 1878, and the latter Dec.
%, 1875, thus keeping nip and tuck for
the past two years.
The first year the Queen made ten
round trips with eleven days to spare.
and the Wave nine round trips with
eleven days to spare. The present year
the Dashing Wave has reversed the or
der of things, having accomplished her
niue round trips in ten months and
eighteen days, and the Queen eight
round voyages in eight months and
fifteen days
The shortest voyage was made by the
Queen in April. 1876. in eighteen days.
and tho longest was also made by the
same vessel, being forty days gone
from San Francisco, in Sept. and Oct +,
1876. and Al days in Oct. and Nov,
1877. The Waves longest trip was SO
and shortest "a days.
The King Philip made ten round
trips to Port Gamble in 1876, but the
present year dropped far astern of her
former friends.
The above record far surpasses any.
thing before accomplished by Puget
Sound coaster. G..
