STATEMENT.

TNHE undersigned, a Committee of Di-
Il rectors of the Equitable Life AS.
surance Society of the United States,
appointed to formulate the views of the
Board OH the advantages offered by the
Society to the public, report
1st-The Society issues all the approx.
ed forms of assurance, including Ordi.
nary Life, Endowment and Tontine po-
licics. 1t is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by in
tending assurers.
2d-The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash divi.
dends and surrender value; are indis-
putable after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death.
3d-Thc premiums on u Tontine po-
Icy are the same us ON the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only pay
able in the event of death, the holder of
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu-
mulated profits IN cash at the end of q
stated period; thus, during his own life
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-Experiencc shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontine po-
licies approXimates to or exceeds the
amount of premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like others, are
paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
|. are incontcstable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
death.
Gth-Experience shows that the NOR
tality is lower among Tontinc policy
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind of assurances, which is consider
able source of profit.
7th-Tontine policies will be made
non-forfeitable under the laws of the
State, if so desired at the time the as.
sUrance is effected.
Sth-The Tontine system is fair and
just; its accounts are accurately kept,
separate from all other business, the
funds judiciously invested and improv.
ed, and the accumulated profits faith.
fully guarded and properly appoltioned.
0th-Thc Society has since its organi.
cation transacted larger amount of
new business than any other company,
while its new business for the first half
of the present year is $1,75O,00O larger
than that of the first half of 1884. 1t
has Assets of $60,0O0,000; over $l4, O0O,-
900 of Surplus, and its ratio of Surplus
to Liability is greater than that of any
other company.

A NOTABLE DECISION.

Judge Chipman, of Michigan, seems to have d better idea of what his court is for
 than some judges have. A lady appeared be- fore him suing for divorce from her hus-
 band The lady suing for divorce 8 resident of Canada, where there are no ju- dicial divorces, Parliament alone dealing with such matters. She apparently had a good case, for it was claimed that her hus- band had choked and beaten her and put a revolver to her head, and was in the habit of going home drunk two or three times week. In fact the evidence clearly enough estab- lished that, had the petitioner been bona fide resident of Michigan she would have been entitled to divorce. But the lady, through her attorney, admitted, in reply to inquiries by the judge, that she had lived in Detroit only one year when the bill was filed, and that she intended, upon obtaining de- cree, to return to Canada to her fathers home. Now, under ordinary eircum- stances, one year would be sufficient to establish a residence, for all civil purposes, under the laws of Michigan But, Judge Chipman said: ''The law requires that the party be rssssiidsnt not for the pur- pose of obtaining a}divorce, but for all that is implied by residence It is not the spirit of our divorce law tiass we are to be refuge and resource fer all disgruntled married peo- pie from countries or States in which they cannot obtain divorce, or that they may come hera and under the form of merely staying here for year apply to our courts and reesive the redress which they cannot receivs at home.. It would be merely mak- ing { convenience of our system for the pur- pose of obtaining that which the system of Canada forbids."
 2 There have been altogether too many such tricks as those condemned by Judge Chip man. It is refreshing to note one case where the trick didn't work.

COMmUNICATIONS.

Remintscence of General Grant.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 We had the pleasure of meeting General Grant soon after his retirement from the presidency and at our announcement we were received with unassuming but dignifed cordiality, which at once put all at their ease, and made us feel as if conversing with a friend or brother. His whole countenance beamed with benevolence and kindly feeling during our conversation. Someone suggest ed that he should hold again some public office. ''No," he said, ''I do not ever desire to enter upon public life or hold any office. I am going to Europe for rest" said, s'How long shall you remain abroada" He said, "I do not know; have made no plans" At that time we were anticipating -I think-a little trouble with England, and I said, eff we have war hope you will be around" He laughingly replied, ''I do not like war. I dislike it and do not know how 1 came to be a soldier. I received an appointment to West Point. I went but did not like it and I remained, year after year, solely because I was fond of mathematics, until had staid six years. Now my life work is done, and I desire to live a quiet life." That life is now ended and shall we not cherish his memory, he whom kings de- lighted to honor! J.

ULYSSES s. CHANT.

ULYSSES s. GRANT
 The death of General Grant yesterday brought to close one of the most remark able careers the world has ever known. More than half his life was spent in comparative
 obscurity. There was during that period no
 sign of the greatness that was in him. It
 does not seem that he himself then had any
 clear idea of his quality. If he did he was
 too modest to let anybody know it. But his
 opportunity came and he found, and this nation found, that he was adequate to it. In the early part of the war he did what he had to do very efficiently, but without any blus- ter or unnecessary noise. He rose into prominence because it was found that he could be depended upon to do a thing if it could be done, and such men were very much needed at that time. His promotion did not harm him. He remained the same steady, efficient snan, amply fit for any place to which he was as- signed. And when he had brought the war to 8 close he showed as much greatness in his manner of dealing with the conquered as he did in conquering them.
 When grateful people made him Presi- dent of the country he had done so much to save, more was expected of him than could fairly be expected of one man. Great war riors who are also great statesmen are not com mon. And yet General Grant did much for his country while he was President.
 His fame is secure and deathless. But just now his fellow -countrymen are not thinking chiefly of that. They are thinking with what manliness, with what fortitude, with what heroism, he bore the trials and the suffering which came to him during the last few months. He faced death with the same quiet courage that he displayed in fac ing hostile armies. And during all the long struggle he has been singularly gentle, cour- teous and thoughtful of others. Truly it was great man who could do what he did and could die as he died.

gave Grant credit for intellectual ability o1 military genius. His other qualities were also rated low. Because he was patient 1 some thought it impossible to provoke him and because of his calmness it was supposed that he was stolid. In battle or in campaign he did not seem to care or consider so much what the enemy were doing as what he him. self meant to do; and this trait, to enthusias- tic and even brilliant soldiers, appeared mex plicable. If he possessed requirements he appeared unconscious of them: he made no allusion to the schools, and never hesitated to transgress their rules when the occasion seemed to him to demand it. So he neither won mems hearts by blandishments nor af- fected their imaginations by brilliancy of be- havior; nor did he seem profound to those
 who are impressed only by display of learn ing.
 At the close of the war General Grant fixed his headquarters at Washington. He
 was Secretary of War ad interim from Au gust 12, 1867, to January IA, 1868, during the suspension of Secretary Stanton. At the national convention in Chicago May 21 1868, he was nominated for President, and
 was inaugurated March 4, 1869, when he i'm mediately set about the work of reconstruct ing the rebel1ious States. The act to enforce the provisions of the Fourteenth amend ment to the Constitution was followed by 8 proclamation exhorting obedience to it. In 1871 President Grant proposed the annexa- tion of San Domingo as territory of the United States, but his proposition was not well received. At the national convention held at Philadelphia June 5, 1S72 he was re- nominated for the Presidency, and in due course entered upon his second term. Al though his presidency was embarrassed by questions of grave importance, his judg ment, moderation and frmness were equal to the great task. His administration of affairs of course had some defects, but was, as a whole, wise and successful.
 The record of his career since he left the Presidential mansion is too fresh in the minds of the people to need rehearsing. His tour around the world was a continual tri- umph. Princes and potentates vied with one another in doing honor to the plain, simple hearted American. He dined with the Queen of England and paid visit of state to Prince Bismarck The sacred Mikado of Japan ad- vanced and shook hands with him like a common man, an honor never before accord to his own country he was enthusiastically welcomed. Since his return he has lived most of the time in New York city. The news that he had cancer was painful prise to the public, and his heroic struggle with the disease has been watched with uni versal sympathy and sorrow His death came as a relief from terrible suffering

 The discussion of the failure of the church to reach the working classes has caused an investigation in Columbus, Ohio, and in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. The Presbyte- rian churches in Allegheny have been re- warded for the outlay of $1 ,000 to make the canvass by finding that 25 per cent of the people who answered the can vassers' questions do not go to church at all, and 8 number refused to give information. Rev. Washington Gladden., of Columbus, writes to the Independent that the answers he has received from circulars of inquiry sent to manufacturing establishments indicate that there is "great and unusual neg lect of the churches on the part of the work ing people," and that, t'in Columbus, at least, the proportion of the working peaple who attend church is much smaller than the proportion of church-goers to the entire pop ulationn
