x.v yor,. ,ife insurance Company.

New York Life insurance Company
An old merchant whose business ex-
perlences and observations extend over
4 period exceeding half century, Is
authority for the assertion that "money
made by speculation is nearly invari-
ABLY lost in the same way, and that all
great and lasting commercial success 5
nave been achieved by steady adher-
-nce TO legitimate methods and six per
cent. interest" The general policy OF
the New York Life Insurance Company
would seem to have been fashioned
after some such ultra-conservative but
prosaic model, for this ancient corpora
ton claims to hold rigidly to accepted
methods and beaten paths. One happy
result OF this careful policy Is observed
in its exemption from vicissitudes. The
entire accumulatiOns were, In 1873,
twenty-four millions, and the surplus
less than three and half millions OF
dollars; these figures are at the end OF
seven years, the worst ever known IL
the history of life insurance, respec-
lively thirty-nine millions and seven
millions, and ever since that date the
receipts for interest alone have exceed
ed the amount of death claims. There
were issued during the past year five
thousand i've hundred and twenty-four
policies, insuring something more than
seventeen millions of dollars. This
number and amount could, no doubt,
have been exceeded had the company
been willing tc incur additional ex-
pense. The object seems TO have been
to keep the amount at risk up to the
usual mark at $l27 100000, and enable
the company to hold its own until
better assurance of a general business
revival encouraged fun ther expansion

"LeG us Have N Change"
PHILADELPHIA Record, Ind.

Probably among all the eandi-
dates named there was not a safer
nominee than Hancock. He has
no heart-burnlngs to appease and no
hatreds to encounter. His unblem-
ished character in private life, his
high attainments, his social stand
ing fit him TO grace the presidential
chair. His public acts as a brave
and daring soldier in war and as a
considerate and liberty-loving SOL
dier i'm time of peace justify the
trust that has been repOsed i'm him.
He may have to feel his way, II
elected to the presidency, where ex-
perienced statesmen would have
walked without embarrassment,
hut he has borne himself so worth
lily that his right intentions will not
be questioned nor his abilities dis
trusted without fhe gravest reason.
AS between General Garfield and
General Hancock independent vOs
tiers will find but little difficulty in
making a choice. Putting no faith
in the platforms promulgated by
either party, and taking no stock in
their promises in them, the Record, 4,
as at present advised, declares for
Hancock and English. The best
hope of the country lies in a change
of administration. The party In
power is thoroughly corrupt, and
there is no promise OF amendment
in the election 0f Garfield and Ar,
thur, who in some sense represent
the corruption 1t is desimhie 10 end.

How the FomiItar Terna OrIEiHR-
ted in Tenuesaee,

The term Ozark Horse" now 80
thoroughly dOmesticated In polite

A sly old chap named Sam Flynn
travelled about tho State years ago
with "Dusky PETE" a cOal-blAck
stallion, shaInbling along as II it
was only IA likely hOss" until ho
had fixed his bets, whom "Dusky
Petep swept about the track like the
flyer he really was. Flynn had ar

race, when Judge McMinamec,
who was the turf oracle OF that part
of the State, arrived ON the course
and was made one Of the Judges.
AS he took his place on the stand he
he was told how the betting ran,
and of the folly OF the owner Of the

the 'Slark horse" laid hack until

More Abont sheep.

We called attention last week to
Commissioned Killehrew's commen-
dation of sheep husbandry as a de-
partment of agricultural industry.
From the extract which we now
give from the New York World, it
appears that there must be plenty
of room for an increase of this pro-
duct in the United States, provided,
however, we are able to compete in
prices with Australian wool pro-
vided also the owners of yellow
dogs are willing-they are privi-
legged class in Tennessee:
The Nashville correspondent of
Bradstreet's Weekly Reporter fur
nishes for the last issue of that paper
some statistics Of the sheep-raising
of the world as timely in reference
to the statistics upon that subject
expected from the pending census.
Possibly many will be astonished to
learn that, Notwithstanding its vast
extent, the United States raised in
1878 only one million more sheep
than Great Britain, and that the
weight of the years product of wool
in Great Britain actually exceeded
the weight of the same product in
this country by thirty-three millions
of pounds, or that Australia raises
almost double the number Of sheep
that are raised in Great Britain and
the United States together, although
its yearly weight of wool is only
thirty-seven millions of pounds
more than the yearly weight raised
in Great Britain. The correspond
ent estimates that this country will
need 273,0O0, 900 pounds of wool by
1890. But the statistician omits
reference to the necessity and value
of sheep-raising as well as of wool
producing for purposes of food,
Scarcely any attention has heen paid
by our sheep-raisers to mutton, and
the result Is that our mutton, as a
rule, is very bad. In its economic
aspects this disregard of any product
of the sheep but the wool is very
injurious. A recent agricultural
writer has estimated that a pound
of pork costs the faFmf. three times
as much as the creation OF a pound
of mutton. Considering these cir
oumstanoes and the natural aaivant-
ages for sheep-raising Of the wide
stretch Of country of which. Tennes-
see is the center between the Alle-
ghanies and the Mississippi, en-
bracing eight parallels of latitude,
there is the highest encouragement
for multiplying facilities for raising
wool and for making mutton ma
tional dish.
