THE FACTORS AND TRADERS INsU
RANCE COMPANY.

The twelfth annual statement OF this sub
stantial and popular company will be found
In another column. 1t will be seen that the
net earned premiums Of the institution
amounted during the year just closed to the
handsome sum Of $478O17 amounting to
nearly one-half OF the capital stock. After
deductng losses, rebates, taxes, expenses,
semi-annual interest on capital stock, etc,
there is remaining net. profit of SlOS,134 AZ.
The company's assets f6bt up 81 1888 ,316 IA. At
special meeting of the board of trustees,
held on the twenty-first instant, it was re-
solved to pay on demand second semi-an-
nual interest Of 5 per cent to the thirtieth OF
April, 1878, making 10 per cent per annum on
the capital stock OF the company 1900, 000),
and cash dividend OF 20 per cent to stock
holders on the amount (S377, $3.50 So of their net
participating premiums for the year ending
the thirtieth OF April, 1873.
The above is a most gratifying exhibit, and
conclusively demonstrates that the affairs Of
the company have been most ably and sa-
gaciously conducted. The truth Is, there is
no man In this country who Is the superior Of
Col. Ed. A. Palfrey in all the requisite qualifi-
cations of successful president OF an insur-
ance company: He is ably assisted by the
secretary, Major r. F. Walker, while the
board Of trustees Is composed OF some OF our
most reputable and accomplished mer-
chants.

a numerous attendance and much enthusiasm.
The president stated that the object Of cali
ing this meeting was to announce 10 all that
the attorneys of the association advised the

to the Moffett register imposition.
Major Walker took the floor and explained
that his Injunction suit was not q test case.
Suit could be brought at any time against
any individual who would then, IL q member
of the association, have the benefit of it's as
sistance. The case will be won, said the
Major, If not now, at least before the next
Legislature; and as the campaign Is opening
men who will oppose all ruinous innovations.

AMUsEM ENTs.


Last evening the complimentary benefit
rendered to Miss Louise M. Dickson occurred
at the Varieties, the attendance being fair
only. 1t was the debut of this lady before a
New Orleans audience, the comedies OF the
Honeymoon" and "Sweethearts" presenting
Miss Dickson as Jutiana and Jennie Northcoh
Her natural advantages consist Of a sweet,
well-modulated voice, rich figure and a
stage presence that speaks we'll for her future,
and her general appearance Is more than or
dinarily sympathetic. AS an actress or
reader she Is deficient, and art and study must
intervene in her favor before her histrionic
abilities shall develop themselves to that
point that excites enthusiasm. There were
moments in her Jennie NorthcoH that were
charmingly womanly and natural, In delight
full contrast with the masculinity OF her &C
ton and absence OF conception in her imper-
sonation OF .Jntia,sG, q character, however,
owing to it's odd peculiarities, has been mis-
