THE GAINISHEED REJOICE NIGHTLY
Mr. Cotrle, of the celebrated firm of Cottle 4
Co., which does business at Chicago and at Dali
ton, met with a dressing down Yesterday that
will probably discourage him for time from
dragging business firms from this city to his
country Office. Some time ago, the firm brought
suit against teamster in the employ Of W. T.
Kcnd s. Co. Nobody went out to Dalton to Ut
tend to this suit, judgment was obtained and
Rend s. Co. were garnisheed about month ngo.
4 representative of the firm went out to Dal-
ton, and showed that there was not so due the
teamsier at that time. and that. therefore. there
WAS uu foundation for the proceedings. Not
withstandlnK this. however. q second suit Was
begun and another notice was served on the
firm to appear before tue Justice ut Dalton-
The only person who went out yesterday-the
time when tho cnse WAS set for henrin2-Was tho
teamster in question. He took out sumo afli-
duvits from the members Of the tir1n that moth

DEEDS. NOT WORDS,

In these days of close competition in all
classes of business, how many Of our read
ers are from day to day approached by the
agents Of ~life-insurance companies, each in
the race for patronage, urging with all the
powers Of eloQuence which those gentlemen
are popularity supposed to possess. this or
that special feature, said to belong exclusive
ly to the company represented by him.
We believe that TO the average business
man life is loo short to closely investigate all
the companies and all the plans presented,
and that it is BY their deeds. and not by PROM
ises or words, they must be tried as to their
worthincss. We therefore have, for the
guidance Of the community, given the sub
lect careful attention, and we insert in all
other column, as the result of our inquiries,
which have extended over a broad field, a
few Of the actual payments made by the Afu-
tual Life-lnsurance Company of New York
in this city alone, within the past year, some
of which we have viewed with surprise, and
will, we think, III themselves, commend this
great Company to public favor.
We have examined their report for the year
ended Dec. IL. 1850 and find their condition
somewhat marvellous. their assets exceeding
SOL ,0ol, 600, placing it by many millions Of
dollars ahead Of the largest financial institu
tions in the world, while its premiums are Is
per cent less tllan any other company. All
its pnIicies are non-forfeitable after three
annual payments, and no just claim has ever
been resisted by it; in fact, and in short. we
believe that it POSSESSES every feature, with
the exception of speculative ones, Which 1t
wholly avoids. that every prudent man seek
ing 1or all investment for himself or
to make sure provision for his family after
his decease may, with the utmost confidence,
avail himself OF.

Nothing can better show the rapid growth OF

Onward the March of Inventive Genius
Keeps Pace with the Enterprise of
the Present Age.
Aud now Yankee ingenuity has mastered the
problem. in n strictly mechanical invention for

Wonderful inventions have come into general
use during the past few years with such rapihty
producing such wonderful effects und OF such
universal yulue-that one can scarcely expect
to realize what mny not come next.
The present invention, which is now on ex-
hfbition by the National Anti Friction Car Box
Company. at their Offices on the first floor In tho
National Life Building, Nos. Isl 10 163 In Sale

necessities, and. if Nil their claims are sustained.
IT must prove one Of the most profitable this
country has ever seen.
Everywhere that SHIFT or axle revo1yes> re-

Mr.. Langley is applicnble,--oil and waste, and
more than 100 per cent in motive power, Is

PERPETUAL MOTION.


Tho Cause Of Morris T1u1fer's Dent1'
The body of tho suicide, Morris Muller was
yesterday identified Ms Morris Cohen, or rather
Si1noni, which name he assuntd In Hun
gary, his birthplace prior to contug to this
country. The identification was made posi-
tive by Il brother Of the deceased. DR.. l. Cohen,
OF No. 6d} Milwaukee avenue, who received
within q day or two Il farewell letter dated last
Wednesday, and bearing his brothers tull Sig
nature. III this his intention OF clldtng his lie
WIS plainly announced, and III hazy manner
the causes which led thereto were detailed.
Morris was about rs years OF nge. and had been
in tho country about seven years. He was a
clever artisan, and nliKht have nude n good lIv-
ing and n comfortnble hQ5ne 1or n'1nsclI xns ana
family bud 1t mot bceu for several curious notions
he hAl concerning the aim OF life. borrower,
he had for years been nn enthusiastic oeHeyer
in tie possibility Of perpetual motion, and he
trying to perfect his machine. Briefly. his III
yeut1on consisted Of IN oversnot Waeel. the
friction Of whose axis III turning Wns reduced
us nearly us possible to n minimum and 1t WAS
designed to Keep the wheel In motion hy small
balls OF metal. instca.d OF II running stream by
curious little arrangement the momentum OF
tho wheel wAs to furnish the power for recon-
veytnx each of these balls buck to its original
starting point us soon US 1t bud dropped out of
its pocket tho outer edge OF tho wheel. After
years OF tedious study Cohen perfected MS
machine theoretically, aud proceeded to
model which he had made after drawings
furnished BY himself. The machine failed to
work. OF course, and the inventor, who had In
tended to dazzle the world with perpetual mo-
ron machine, the simplicity Of which was its
most amazing feature, began to grow morosc
and disconsonte. He renewed bis efforts to
overcome the difficulty. and finally announced
to his friends with considerable pride. mingled
with disappointment, that the lnnchine WAS per
feet, with thu exception OF Il single little screw
which could not possibly be dispensed with, and
which was ut the same time the only obstacle
that must ue overcome. He went crazy In try
i1,.r to solve this subsidiary problem, au'l his
inaludy WIS increased by the elimination Of do
nestle difficulties which led his wife in tho old
country to apply for IL divorce.
Cohen must huvc contemplated suicide at
lctist Il mouth ago. tor he insisted on hnvtns his
1ife-Insnrancc policies made over in favor Ct
his brother the doctor, thus dchnrrlng his Wife
and family. These policies arc simply titles to
membership in couple Of mutual-nid assoctt-
tons, one Ut which pays 3..OuU or thereabouts,
and the other 81 0O0. Several associations Of the
Kind in tho Suite pay in cases Of suicide Us in
OTHER cases of death, but this Is voluntary. as
every member is always required upon joining
the association tt sign an agreement that ne Will
do nothing TO cniangcr his life. nor take it him
self. There is decided opposition to paying
anything in the case Of Cohen. und Il sharp con-
test wall be the result.
