PAID ALL LOSSES IN FULL |!

The last year was an exceptionally disas- trous year to tobacco crops, and the losses were many and great, but they have all been promptly paid.
 This only shows the importance of insuring against these losses |: Many thought last year they would not insure. and would thus save the small premium, bat one day the hail came and beat upon the crop and they lost ten times the amount ofthe premium.
 At the last annual meeting it was voted to substitute for the premium notes cash pre- mium of five per cent, the officers and mem. bers of the company being satisfied that that will meet all contingencies. Anyone insuring therefore for the current year, will only be required to pay cash premium of five per cent on the amount of the insurance, winch will cover all liability, can be

Cosllr CongressionaI Wakes.

1t
It is expected that the House Commit
tee on Accounts will soon begin to IN
vestigate the expenses incurred by dele
cations in attending the funerals OF de-
ceased members of the FOrty-seyenth
Congress. FOR several years past these
funeral expenses have been open to crltl-
oism, not that they cost such great
amount Of money, but because OF the
manner in which they have been con-
Quoted. The committees appointed to at
tend on these solemn occasions appear to
have had Jolly times, and to have made
great improvements on the old Irish style
of conducting wakes. some OF The proml~
nent items in these expenses were bllls
for vast quantities of whisky, wines,
lunches and cigars, which were for the
individual consumption of the members
of the committees, and which were pald
for by the government.
Some items from the expenses OF the
committee which attended the funeral OF
Hon. Mr.. Hawk, of Illinois, are worthy OF
attention, The committee consisted OF
sixteen members. and their individual eX-
penses, including railroad fare, special
coaches, ice, luncheOns, meals and sun
dries, amounted to about 81, 800.
1t is very proper that these accounts
should be investigated, and the exposure
of any undue extravaganza in them will
be a caution to future committees ap'
pointed for such purposes. Congressmer
seem to be compelled to assuage then
grief on such occasions, and many of then
will partake of the consolation called
Bourbon" but they ought to do so at theii
own expense. They have no more RICH
TO charge such bills to the government
than they have to so charge similar eX
penses incurred at the saloons in Wash
! ington.
