Mutual Life InsurRncs COmpany Oi
New York,

In another column may be found the
annual statement of the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company of New York, for the year
1880. The report reflects in some degree
the state Of bushes generally, and the dis
position OF business men during times of pros
perity TO make provision for their families
against the dangers Of death or of financial
disaster. Judged from this standpoint, the
husbands and fathers Of the country are not
unmindful of their duty, aud are seeking
now more than ever life insurance AS means
of indemnity against future want. The
Mutual Life is giant among financial in
situations, and to its admirable management
is confined by far the largest trust fund con-
troled by any similar organization in the
world. AS appears from the statement it
now has assets amounting to $9l, 136, 1856; q
surplus of over Sl1,O00,0OO; an army OF
policy holders holding Insurance for more
than $306 100000; and it paid on policies
last year more than $4,000 ,O00 These are
the results of legitimate life insurance.

Wool Pulling.

Nellie Richardson and Eliza Davis, of
Ethiopian extraction, collided on Elm street
yesterday, while in a high state of intoxica-
ton. They each ran up the black flag, snd
sailed into one another in a manner that
made the hearts of the spectators leap for
Joy. They engaged continuously in raising
wool, and had almost snstched each other
bald.headed, when q guardian Of the peace
swooped down and gobbled them up. They

lodged in the county Jail to await transpor-
tation 10 the poor farm.

Arctic Expedition.

TEE PROPOSED EXPEDITION TO LADY FRANKLIN
Before Secretary Ramsey left the War de-
partment he had approved of the plan for an
Arc'ic expedition TO establish an observation
station at or near Lady Franklin Bay under
the appropriation made by Congress. He also
detailed Captain Greeley, of the cavalry, to
have charge Of the expedition. Among some
OF the officers OF the War department there is
considerable opposition to the expedition This
has taken shape In havlrg Secretary Lincoln
reopen the whole question. SO now It IS pend
Ing whether the expedition shall be sent or not
Senator Conger, OF Michigan, has taken great
interest In the matter and is urging upon Sec.
retary Lincoln that that expedition be sent as
agreed upon by Secretary Ramsey and under
the plans approved by him. It Is thought that
though he has reopened the question Secretary
Lincoln will decide In favor of the expedition.
Captain Greeley Is looking around with the
expectation that such will be Secretary Lin.
coins action and If it Is he Greeley viii com
mand the expedition aid Will have two officers
with him. Application has been made to have
one OF the heutenants Of the 10th cavalry de-
tailed as Captain Greeley's assistant. Among
the officers who have volunteered to 90 on the
expedition is Lieutenant Lockwood well known
In this city. The party VIII be composed of
twenty-five souls all told and Will assemble
here about the 18th OF May preparatory to
starting out
