The Mutual Life of New Y ork


However interesting the annual

be, none of them can compare in i'm
porrance with the reports presented by
the Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New York. 1t is the largest If al
companies, has larger body of policy
holders, greater assets. and each year
receives and dis urses more money
than any other institution in the
world 1t is evident that such ho'd
upon public confidence can be only ob
tanned by management which COM
bines prudence, safety and experience.
The report of the Mutual Life, pu =
lished in another column for the year
1885, shows that it has SOS, 9OS .967, 81
assets; more than $3.50 600 900 of insur-
ance distributed among its great army
Of policy holders; and that it paid to
the policy holders last year the sum of
over $14 coo 600 or oyer $4,000 every
business day in the year. The Com
pany is under The able and popular
management OF President Richard A.
McCurdy.

toll when arrested; practiced about
the Jail yard while under arrest, was
tried and acquitted, and returned
home with revolver and balance OF

Karoline Bauer tells the story of the
Princess Natalie Kurakin. She was an
imposing and captivating beauty, with
the temper OF fend, and became the
most admired and feared woman at the
court OF the Emperor Alexander. Her
husband idoiized Der, and, unfortunately,
allowed her complete control over him

luxury he went beyond his means, aud
then sold one estate after another. Once.
when he handed her a liJtle packet of
bank notes he had won, As u sort OF peace
offering, Natalie seized them and threw
hem into the ire, to cure the General. as
she said, Of club gaming and late hours.
Another night, when she was adorned in

kept her waiting. A last he came, great

AN INTERESTING BOOK.
How National Flags are Invente

How National Flags are Invented.
These remarks, which sounded like the
report OF Coroner's inquest, suggested
a visit 10 the archieyes of the COnederacy
at the War Department. In a large
scrapbODk all the designs sent in response
to request from the Confederate Conven-
tiOn at Montgomery are kept. | spent an
hour or more looking over them. Some
are very curious. Nearly all are accom-
panied by letters, many, 1T is sad to say,
from Northern cities. The capital is
largely represented. They belong to an
early period of the secession trouble. The
records show, however, thai a national
flag Was not adopted until May l, 1863, or
more than two years after the conflict be-
gan. OF all these designs only few are
worthy OF preservation. A disposition To
cling to the "Stars and Stripes is OBJ
serVahle throughout, though in a few in
stances there are bold departures. Be-
yond dispute the handsomest design was
sent by Il Lady of WinnsbOro, ). {. II is
flag OF three wide strlpes-the outside
ones blue, the middle one white. A
square field the height of two upper bars,
IL red and contains seven stars, with
what the lady describes as "a crescent
moon" in the centre. II the Mohamme-
dan emblem were omitted, the design
would be perfect. The effect is very
pretty.
A design from Richmond, Va, presents
flag OF three broad stripes in the order OF
red, blue and white, with thirteen white
stars IN the central or blue stripe. Two
striking suggestions are made by pa
triot OF Loundesboro. Both flags are
wholly blue aud white. The first is quite
like 1.-THE old flag in design, having
seven blue and SIX white stripes. In the
blue field Is dove resting on a palm
branch. Over the doves head are six
stars. The second picture has eight blue
and seven white stripes, with an inverted
crescent in the felC and the same SIX
stars. The scarcity OF stars indicates
that this design was an early product OF
the war. Another drawing sent from
Charlc9ton II thus heraldically described
by the inventor: "Ou crimson field a
deep yellow sun with ray for each
State, half risen from blue sea. The sea
to be one-third the depth of the banner"
Several OF the flags are as red as blood
and many have Masonic and other trater-
nifty emblems upon them. Taken alto
gether it IL a queer collection, and the
preservation OF the designs in public in
stitution should be arranged by the Secre-
tary of War. The book is in excellent
hands at present, for Col. Jones does not
permit 1t to 10 from under his eye.

A HAPPY CHINAMAN.

Wedding Present and Gets Letter.

Joe James Sends the President
Wedding Present and Gets Letter.
F-roo, the PhiladelpAia Times.
Joe James is a wide-awake Chinaman
OF means and education, and does thriv-
ing business in this city. He keeps
fancy Chinese store at lao South Eleventh
street, where all imaginable curious Chi
nese things are kept constantly in stock.
JOe's comely little wife, the only Chinese
woman in the city, for whom ne crossed
tue Pacific about eighteen months ago,
presented him last February with the
Cutest little Acknowledged baby in the
world. Joe was the happiest man in
town then, and all the Chinese
laundrymen looked upon him
as such. Their congratulations gratitied
his heart, and ne regarded his happiness
as perfect. The coming OF the little
stranger caused no end of curiosity and
excitement to all the old ladies' in The
neighborhoOd, and they visited his place
on South Eleventh street in crowds.
Joe is generous, KIND hearted sort Of
man, and wishes everybody may be as
happy as he is. When President Cleve-
land got married he determined to confer
on him his best wishes, and at the same
time make himself solid with the new adj
ministratiOn IN more substantial way
He accordingly sent wedding present to
the happy couple with the following let
ter:
