MUTUAL LIFE-lNsURANCE COMPANY OF
New YoRK.-This is The season Of the an-
nuaI statements OF corporations, and among
The first of the large companies to conform
to the custom is the Mutual Life-ln>urance
Company Of New York. whose annual re-
port OF the business OF 1879 is presented in
our columns to-day. Practically, the pio-
neer Of life-insurance in this country upon
the purely mutual plan, its eminent success
has been source OF qualification, as de-
monstrating the exercise in a high degree
of those conservative qualities in manage
mcnt which are essential TO prolonged sue
cess. In the earlier years OF lfe-insurance
company. when income is large and death
claims few, the temptation to depart from
sound and safe principles is very great, and
in such departure lie the seeds Of dissolution
and disgrace, which have 30 often oyertaken
those who yield to such temptation. The
thrty-seyen years experience OF the Nu-
tual Life is in itself a guaranty that con-
servative policy baS prevailed, and the COM
nany has found itself 80 strong as to be able
to reduce its rates OF premium, and yet add
LARGELY 10 ITS assets on the business OF 1879.
Major John II. Claiborne is the agent OF
the company in this city.

such was the influence this man exercised
over the minds of these desperate char
acters. This was the preachers MARIA
tive, and so characteristic was it of
Bowie that there can be no doubt of its
entire, truthfulness. James Bowie de-
voted his life TO the achievement of
Texan independence-was made Colo
mel i'm her service, and with Travis and
Crockett, heroes all, yielded up his life
in the ill-fated Alamo. Mrs. Dickerson
and anegro man, the sole survivors of
this massacre, said that at the time of
the attack on the fort Bowie was con
fined TO his bed by fever. He ordered a
number of loaded rifles to be brought to
his side, and had the door so barricaded
that but one Mexican could pass through
at time. Here he lay and fired upon
them until he shot nine. His body was
riddled with bullets, and, as if they
feared him even after death, they re-
peatedly f'st
THRUST THEIR BAYoNETs' INTO HIN.
Thus lived and died this remarkable
man. Travis, the chief in command,
and his subordinates, Bowie and Crock
EFT, were heroes in the true sense of the
word. Patriotism will mourn their fate,
and Memory bedew their graves with
her tears as long as generous blood
courses through the veins of American
freemen. There are several relatives of
James Bowie now residing in California,
and one, noted lawyer, several years
ago took offense at an article published in
a San Francisco journal, which reflected
somewhat upon the character of his
kinsman. The writer of this article
was well acquainted with James Bowie,
and always held him in high esteem,
both as companion and patriot.

How the Government Pays Bills.

A great part of the work in the De-
partment is necessary in the ineof keep
ing accounts, and possesses little interest
to people who are not exceptionally fond
of figuring. The general principle which
governs the whole system of auditing and
settling accounts against the Government
is to provide every safeguard against
fraud, and this is so successfully accom-
plished that dollar could not be got
out of the Treasury illegitimately without
the collision of so many persons that it
may be set down as practical impossi-
blity. Suppose man has a bill against
the Government. The head of the De-
partment or Bureau to which the matter
properly belongs makes requisition for
/ the amount upon the Secretary of the
Treasury, using prepared blank
which asks him to cause a warrant for
the amount in question to be issued in
favor of the party, the same to be
charged to the particular appropriation
by Congress out of which the sum
ought to come. But before this requisi-
ton reaches the Secretary it must pass
under the eye of theproper Auditor and
Comptroller and receive their counter
sign, the Auditor at the same time
charging the amount TO the account of
the disbursing officer in whose favor it
is issued. IF all goes we'll SO far, the
Secretary issues a warrant to the Treas
urersdirecting him to pay over the
money, which he does by issuing draft
for the amount in favor of the Govern
ment's creditor, but not until after the
warrant has been countersigned by the
proper Comptroller and registered by
the Register. Indeed, the draft itself
must 60 to the Register for-c comparison
and registry before it IS finally passed
over. There seems to be a good deal
of red tape in all this process, but it is a
sort of red iapethat saves the country
money in the long run--Good Com
pGay.

Fatal AeGident.

On Friday forenoon, last, as threS
little boys were playing about the base
ment of Thomas & Co.'s mill, ut Chase,
the clothing of one Of them, Emory,
son Of VIM. Munford, accidentally
caught on the main shaft. In an in.
stant ne was being whirled around the
rapidly revolving shaft, striking the
floor and timbers. Death must have
been almost instantaneous; and the
body literally torn to pieces. In pre-
pairing the remains for the coffin, they
were sewn In sheet. The deceased
was about ten years of age. r
Another son of Mr.. Munford was al
so, thrown several feet from the shaft,
rendered insensible, and was picked up
for dead; but afterward proved that he
had not been seriously hurt.
1t is not known, precisely, how the
accident occurred. Tie boys had been
playing with an old piece of betting
around the shaft. sKJa
The deepest sympathy of the commu-
nityis with Mr.. Munford and his strick-
Ell family; who were previously in trou-
bic on account of Mr.. M. having his
right foot crushed between two logs,
several days since.
The funeral of Emory Munford took
place, Saturday. eN

ARRESTED FOR FoRGERy.--Several

Nelson sold an order of Chauncey Gibbs,

them; and warrant for forgery was
sworn out by Halliday, against Nelson.
