THE AGRICULTURAL DEPRKssI0N.
LONDON, July SIN the House OF Com
mons, last evening, tho Government agreed
to the motion of Henry Chaplin (ConserVa-
tiye) for the appointment Of a Royal Commis-
sion to inquire into the causes Of the agri-
cultural dcpression, and how far they were
created by, or are remediable by, legislation.
The matter caused great debate. All sides
agreed that great cause of the depression
was American competition. Rfr. Chaplin, In
his opening speech, said he regarded free trade
as q question definitely settled, but ho could
not shut bis eyes to the failure OF many OF
the predictions of advocates OF free trade.
he old not propose remedy now, but only
asked for inquiry. He pointed out that
the future of the British aeg1icult-
urc was dependent upon the cost of
produce in America. II the cost Of importation
fell below the cost Of production at home, the
ruin of British agriculture was not far distant.
The Liberals, such as Brasscy, MacDuff, and
Duff, blamed the British land system and the
Game laws for the depression Their arguments
were summed up in speech by Bright who
warned the landowners that the competition OF
the United States would 20 on increasing, and
the only way Of meeting It was to get I'D OF
tenure and transfer OF land. Mc1ger aud Ben
tinck advocated protective measures, but the
MARQUIS Of darlington and the Government, Us
represented by Viscount Sandop (ConseEVat'vc)
and Sir Stafford Northcote, Chancellor OF the
E1chequer, declared that no cause has been
shown for such measures, which certainly would
never be sanctioned. The Marquis OF Harttngg
ton attributed the depression primarily to bad
| season.

LIFE ASSURANCE.

The Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety of the United States makes
the following announcement to the
public:
The dissatisfac ction which prevails
throughout the community with re-
gard to onerous conditions con-
tanned in life assurance contracts
and the judicial decisions based
thereon, together with the public
Endorsement Of the liberal usages Of
this Society, as shown by its large
1y increased business, has led the
management seriously to consider
whether the contract could not be
simplifed, and certain conditions
erased therefrom which have been
the subject of much criticism and
misconception.
After careful examination OF the
experience of some Of the best COM
pauies in Great Britain, who have
shown greater iberality than has
been customary in this country,
this Society feels justified in adopt
ing a form OF contract in which the
following important concessions
are made to policy-holders through
out the United States:
1. Policies Will be made incon-
testable after three years from
their date.
2. Each ordinary policy Will
provide for a definite surrender
value in paid~up assurance, in
case ut,~ policy is forfeited after
three years from its date.
3. Each Tontine policy will
contain definite surrend der-va1ue
in cash, in case Of withdrawal at
the end Of the Tontine period.
4. The contract will be concise
ly and clearly expressed, contain
ing only such provisions as are
necessary to protect the policy
holders.
5, The above concessions will
hereafter inure to the benefit OF
all policies already issued and in
force after three years from their
dates respectively.

House on the 18th. aud will play q five
nights engagement. OF their perform
ance, the Chicago Inter-0cean says: The
entertainment which was given last night
at Mccormick Hall, under the above
lists and comedians. was one Of the best re-
presentations Of slave life as it existed be-
fore the war that has ever been presented
to the public. Aside from this fact, it is a
. performance which possesses intrinsic
merit and offers many attractions. The
public are not so eager to ~patroDize negro
minstrelsy rs in days gone by, when darky
life and darby eccentricities possessed to
the people Of the North the irresistible
charm Of novelty. Burnt cork perform
ances have now degenerated into a sort of
medium for old jokes and the personal
caprices of the performers. Slave life now
a-days is the least important feature about
minstrelsy. Now there comes along an
organization comparatively small in num-
bers, but composed Of the genuine element
every one of them darkies by nature,
precept and practice. There is in their
fun a mirth and charm that no minstrel
troupe, no matter how accomplished its
mem bers are, can impart. We get the
original article without adulteration.
There is no attempt to be witty or sharp,
or obtrude individual characteristics. The
first performance last night was attended
by a goodly-sized audience, and every one
present seemed to enjoy the novel affair
with great heartiness. The personalities
of the plantation negro were set forth in a
seal ALL w.a.I A1 khA
Of the troupe entered into the thing with
as much gusto as the audience. They are
all excellent comedians in their way,
and the musical talent in the troupe will
surprise every one that has not heard
them. The Hyer Sisters are well known
since their Introduction to the public by
Gilmore at the Boston Jubilee. Thepare
probably the best colored singers before
the public.
