pictures of saints The buyers of
the candles go up to the pictures,
kiss them from one end to the other,
and cross themselves. Here priests
read prayers, but no bible, and they
deliver no sermon. The bread of
the Eucharist is dispensed, first to
the people inside, then to those out
side the church, and while it is be-
ing dispensed, an attendant collects
the pennies from the worshippers.
And this is the church which they
say if a man leaves. he becomes an

A young Greek whom | met there,

the faith of the Greek church, but
at 81, he found out that man can
not be saved by ceremonies. He

suit was he gave up the Greek faith.
Meeting some Americans, he was

he entered college, and after COM
pleting his course, returned to Greece

STATEMENT.

THE undersi gned, a Committee of Di-
Il rcctors of the Equitable Life AS.
surance Society of the United States
appointed to formulate the views of the
Board on the advantages offered by the
Society to the public, report
1st-The Society issues all the approx
cd forms of assurance, including Ordi.
nary Life, Endowment and Tontine po-
licies. 1t is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by IN.
tending assurcrs.
2d-Thc Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash divi.
dends and n surrender value; are indis.
putablc after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death.
3d-Thc premiums on Tontine po-
icy are the same as 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 III cash at the end of a
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-EXpcriencc shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontinc po-
licics approximate 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 incontestable after three years, and
lilo ip,,,, obi Ia alu aftnr ~ r,rnnf nf
death.
6th-EXperience shows that the NOR.
tality is lower among Tontine 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 iudiciously invested and improv-
ed, and the accumulated profits faith
fully guarded and properly appoltioned.
9th-The Society has since its organi.
/ cation transacted larger amount of
new business than any other company,
| while its new business for the first halt
of the present year is $1,75O,O0O larger
than that of the first half of 1884. 1t
has Assets of S600O0,0O0; over $l4 .OOO,-

that the capitalists and merchants d

Knitting the trade, BY natural channels
belonging to that city, 10 be taken
nom them and to be diverted to eastern
and western markts. In more ways
thu ons this diversion has been going
q, bat the ovefshadowIng blunder has
been the cowardice Of capital in New
Orleans, and positive indifference on
the part Of moneyed men there to the
enorts Of other cities TO capture their
trade. 1t has been from no lack of
means to preserve this trade, nor from
any dissemination Of the producers that
this change, significantly commented
on by the Times-Democrat, has been
accomplished. The fact is, however,
that the invasion has been effected,
with almost a certainty that the con.
quest will be complete.
We annex the editorial of the Times
Democrat
"The agents Of Eastern mills are pur.
chasing their supply Of cotton in the
very centre Of what was once deemed
New Orleans particular and undis-
pnted territory, and instead of sending
1t In transit to Boston by way of this
city, are shipping 1t up the river to
Cincinnati, and thence to the Eastern
mills. Transit cotton is bad enough, as
It e, leaving very little profit behind
here; bat 1t Is certainly preferable to |
this new system, where New Orleans
does not get even the hauling of the
staple to the boat, and where no ton |
nageis brought to carry it away.
'sThe Eastern purchasers have been |
quite busy in all the small towns along |
The river. A considerable amount of
'otton has been shipped from the upper
parishes to Cincinnati, pressed there
Md carried thence to the East; and the
'uyers are said to have actually inva-
led Baton Rouge, less than a hundred
miles away, and carried of quantity
