property, just as much so MS If inherited from
parent. Now, why will hot such schemes
as these work admirably, both for young
men and young women, ana thus advance
the cause of marriage and the common good
of mankind! We see from the censu. reports
that in the New England states and several
OF the other states, the number of females
over males is quite large. The reason of this
must DO obvious These states being tbickly
settled and sll the avenues of employment
and emolument being crowded, young men
dependent upon their own energies and
exertions for livelihood leave their
homes for new fields of enterprise
and labor in the spsrsely settled south, and
there find wives after they have wrung from
fortune competence. The girl, left be.
hind must toll on alone through life which is
hardship, for however worthy, however
accomplished, however deserving Young
womsn may be, the conventionaities and
cusloms of the couhtry, of the world indeed,
prevent her from seeking mstrlmony, from
proposing marriage, and hence they must
wait till approached by the other sex. If
they had an order of this, kind they would
''ract young men to them-not money
n tiers or fortune seekers, but worthy,
q irving young men, who keep silent be-
~"use they cannot afford to marry. These
are few thoughts we submit for the con.
sideration Of all who may deem them worthy.

A NEW FEATURE IN INSURANCE.

In England they have originated and in.
augura,ed u new species of insurance. In
stead of paying tho heirs and assigns of
member of the organization when no dies a
stipulated sum, they have rather reversed the
order of things and made II u matrimonial,
aid society, giving to member the sum Of
$4,000 when no msrries. The order Is
managed and carried on, say, Just like the
knights of Honor or other similar insurance
organizations are conducted. Tho idea
strikes us MS an extremely good one. Every
community, especially tho towns and
citO'. are filed with young men
in various employs and occupations, who are
deserving, who go into the frat circles
Of society and help to make them
up, and who would marry, IL ,boy fell,

sort of order, however, 10 which wc refer,

THE DEADLOCK IN THE SENATE.

The associated press dispatches, giving us
the brief ncws from Washington, tell in brief
the facts and particulars Of the deadlock in
tho senate on tho question of the election of
senate officers. Tho democrats arc making
a hard fight, but being in reality in the mi.
nority, tho question Is "Whst is the good of

the cabinet tho republicans have the lower
house of congress bya comfortable msjority;
and the republicans have, with Malone, of
Virginia, virtual and tangible msjOrty in
the senate, the vce-president and presiding
officer Of that body being u republican.
Then, calmly, dispassiena,ely and from
conservative standpoint viewing the case,
why shonld the democrats make A
hopeless struggled They have done
all that men could reasonably be
expected 10 do; they have manifested in A
manly and noble way their devotion to DEM

the best interests Of the country, and they
