The uncertainty of life and the re-

many life insurance companies

various companies, so as to find the
most reliable, and those giving the
best returns for our investment. The

that is reliable in every respect
Since its establishment it has main
tanned areputaiion for upright deal
ing, and prompt payment of policies,
that is not surpassed by any other
company in the country. Over one
hundred and twenty five thousand
dollars issued in Annapolis. A fea-
ture of the Company is the prompt
payment of all policies, one-fourth
being paid "a hours after burial oil

l cture Of ,he HON. GrOrge COLON.


The lecture delivered in the Meth
odist church at Taylorsville, October
7tb, by the Hon. George Cotton, on
"Tbe Old World and the New, twas q
highly entertaining aud brilliant af-
fair. The church was pretty well
filed, and very fair amount has
been realized. The lecture was not
only instructive aud entertaining, but
interspersed with anecdotes that pro-
voked roars of laughter from the aud
fence. With the tact and ease that
is peculiar to himself, Mr.. Cotton
took US, in Imagination, on an extern
ton through the Old World, pointing
out the ridiculous as well as the sub
lime features, then when the journey
had been completed and the return
made to the New World, Mr.. Cotton,
by bis comparisons poluted out the
difference between the two in favor
of the latter. On the whole it was q
most enjoyable affair and we caunct
sufficiently thank the able ssorator for
his kindness in helping our little
church. OCCASIONAL.

influence of American upon Euro
pean Naval Conservation.

1t is fitting, and 10 the present writer
II ID bic, to take early note of a
matter which has perhaps never before
been fully acknowledged. viz, the in
debtedness of Great Britain and of Eu-
rope to the United States for sonse inval-
liable lessons in naval constructions and
naval warfare which we derived from
the heroic efforts of their great civil war
The writer is in a position to speak,
with full l knowledge on this point, as
his Service at the Admiralty, in charge
of its naval construction, commenced
during the American conflict, and con-
tinued for some years after its fortunate
conclusion. There can be no doubt
whatever that from the Monitor and her
successors European constructors and
naval officers derived some extremely
valuable suggestions. The Monitor sys-
tenn itself, pure and simple, was never
viewed with favor, and could never be
adopted by England, except under the
severest restrictions, because the work
of England has mainly to be done upon
the high seas and in distant parts of the
world, and the extremely small free
board of the Monitor, or, in other
words, the normal submersion of SO
very much of the entire ship, is highly
inconvenient and not o little dangerous
on sea service, as the fate of the Mont
tor was designed to do in inland waters
she was admirably conceived, and her
appearance in the field of naval warfare
startled seamen and naval constructors
wholly novel direction. In saying this
am not unmindful that seven years
previously England had constructed
steam-propelled floating batteries" as
they were called, sheathed with iron,
and sent them to operate against the de-
lenses of Russia. But useful as these
vessels were in many respects, their con-
struction presented no striking novelty
of design, and their employment was
unattended by any dramatic incident to
powerfully impress the naval mind The
Monitor was both more novel and more
fortunate, and opened her career CATER
severe struggle for life at sea) with so
notable display of her offensive and
defensive qualities that all eyes turned
to the scene of her exploits. and
scanned her with degree of interest
unknown to the then existing genera
ton of sailors and ship-builders. Her
form and character were in most re-
spects singular, her low deck and erect
revolving tower being altogether unex-
ampled in steamship construction. He
must have been a dull and conservative
naval architect indeed whose thoughts
Ericsson's wonderful little fighting ship
did not stimulate into unwonted activi-
ty. But the service rendered to Europe
was not confined to the construction
| and exploits of the Monitor itself The
coasting passages and, later on, the sea-
VOYAGES, of other vessels of the Monitor
type, but of larger size, were watched
with intense interest, and gave to the
naval world instructive experiences
which could in no other way have beer
| acquired Some of these experiences
were purchased at the cost of the lives o
| gallant men, and that fact enhanced
| their value.-Sir Eda0ard Reed, IN Hdr
per's Magazine for February.
