STATEMENT.

THE undersigned, Committee of Di-
l. rectors 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.
ed forms of assurance, including Ordi.
nary Life, Endowment and Tontine no.
licies. 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-The premiums on a 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 IN cash at the end of
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-Experience 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 inContestable after three wears, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
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.
8th-The Tontine system is fair and
just; its accounts are accurately kept.
separate from all other business; tho
funds judiciously invested and improv.
ed, and the accumulated profits faith.
fully guarded and properly appoltioned.
9th-The Society has since its organi.
cation transacted a larger amount of
new business than any other company,
while its new business for the first half
of the present year is $1,75OOOO larger
than that of the first half of 1884. 1t
has Assets of $60,0OO,OOO; over l4,OOO,-
900 of Surplus, and its ratio of Surplus
to Liability is greater than that of any
other company.

HuInor in Arcadia.

A 'avaulting ambition which DER
leaps itself, SAYS CaSSeIpS Magazine,
is by no means confined to those who
fill high stations and are born to power
and dignity. 1t may show itself in IT,,
cobbler as well as in the king. A labor
ing man llliteratc and poverty-strlken,
sought the suflrages of his fellow-rate-
payers as Il peoples candidate for a
seat on the local educational parliament.
By freak of fortune in the shape of
the cumulative vote he was elected. The
honor proved insufficient to allay his
thirst for fame and for the conscious ex-
ercise of authority. He must needs con-
duct an examination on the following
lines:
Now, you lads, before you goes any

The unexpected and bewildering re-

porary reign of silence. When the for
ward path discloses mysterious pitfalls
it is well to walk with circumspection.

North Carolina "Momen Folks"


Ben Perley Poorc writes: The North
Carolina women folks" lead very diff
ferent lives from those in the New En-
gland or Middle States. A recent visitor
gives the following account of the typi-
cal housewife in the old North State,
which is of interests The old lady and
her daughters, with the.r own hands,
make nearly all the clothes the family
has. There was Il tine when the old
woman spun the thread and wove the
cloth, and she maintains now that there
is no other thread SO good TO darn with
rs the thread of her own spinning So
she keeps her old spinning wheel for
occasional Use and for spiritual COM
fort, and last year she gathered cotton
from the field. which She followed with
her own fingers on its long Journey from
the stalk to the stocking. The house
work and the gardening are the only
employments OF the women, but they
seem always to be busy. Once week
they boil the clothes in Il pot suspended
from the tops OF three poles. which are
placed in the front yard near the we'll
The monotony of washday is often re-
lieYed by fishing for the bucket with
the pot hooks. Cooking is II very
simple thing. for the frylng-pan and
the pot do their whole duty Indeed,
the frying-pan is the origin of All their
ailments, certainly of the old lady's
dyspepsia, Of the childrcn's thin, gristly
faces and of the oldest boys necessity
for grog. Fried bacon for early break
fast will postpone the millennium any
where; add to that fried sweet potatoes,
and an active outdoor life and perfect
atmosphere must do their best to keep
naturally robust people from groans.
The frying-pan is worse enemy of
man in all this country than whisky or
politics. When all the ground is yell
low with mellow apples, and the odor
of peaches and grapes is blown over
every breakfast-table. nobody eats fruit
chickens have the pleasure of life taken
because neither boiler nor oven awaits
one of them, but always the frying-pan.

while the rest of the family hold their
hands in silence, and many an evening
these fine intelligent adults sit the live
long hours holding their hands, saying
now and then word, as if by accident,
and pretending to do nothing; yet they
are happy. The art of resting has not
been SO well cultivated anywhere else.
True, the old woman does usually ply
her knitting needles, stopping now and
then to remark, while she rubs snuff,
that her old bones feel ''streaks" of
rheumatism, but that it is hard to wear
out an old leather string. The girls
sometimes have cuttings, and there are
the ''parties" Of country society.

Booths Weapons.


l saw yesterday, says writer in the
Washington Herald, two of the most
curious and interesting relics of the
greatest tragedy in American history.
They are the pistol with which John
Wilkes Booth shot President Lincoln
and the dagger he held in his hand
when he leaped from the box to the
stage of the theater, crying, Isle SEM
per tyrannisr These relics are pre-
served in bureau of one of the great
departments of the government, and
with them is the bullet that struck Mr..
Lincoln down. The pistol is the most
interesting of the lot. 1t is one of the
kind known us the Derringer, made in
Philadelphia, which was very famous
ali through the South and Southwest
thirty years ago. The one in question
is of beautiful workmanship. Its barrel
is only two inches in length, and the
bullet weighs about quarter of an
ounce. The entire length of the weapon
is but four inches. Its mounting is of
silver, and the lock is one of the finest
and most perfect pieces of workman
ship | have ever seen, even in these
weapons, which are very expensive and
elaborate. The bullet is much battered.
and was evidently driven into the muz-
zle Qor the pistol is Il muzzle-loader)
by the use of mallet and iron loading
rod. Considering the heavy charge Of
powder under the bullet before it was
fired, the latter must have been only
half an inch from the muzzle, and could
easily have been touched with ones
little finger inserted into the barrel.
The marks of the rifling in the barrel
are clearly visible on the bullet, which
was very much flattened from striking
the skull. Altogether, more interest
ing and ghastly curio have never seen.
While handling the pistol looked at
the end of the breech / found there
receptacle for percussion-caps, which
had evidently been overlooked, and on
opening it found solitary cap, which
Booth had evidently put there himself,
intending if by any chance the one on
the tube of the pistol exploded without
firing it, to have another ready to his
hand.

Dost Thou Remember,

Dost thou remember, love, one night in June?
Above our heads the stars their tapers
swung;
And from her fleecy couch the fair Young
moon
Lifted herself and, smiling DER us. hung.
Dost thou remember, love? All! life for me
Can never hold brighter memory.
The waves crept up and whispered at our feet,
As tho they had tender tale 10 tell
Across the hills there came in cadence sweet.
The silyery swayiugs OF a distant bell.
And with thy kisses ruby-lipped, divine,
My soul was reeling as from draughts of
wlue
Dost thou remember, love? Canst thou forget
How in my hand thy vibrant fingers lay?
How quickly moon and evening star had set
And how the moments Sped like dreams
away?
Thou dost remember? Thou dldst only feign9

The Notional NIGHTINGALE.

King Hubert, he went to the forest in state,
In glitter and gold, on a slln-shiny day, ~
And commanded his train in the shadow TO
wait,
While herald proclaimed in the following
way:
"His Imperial Majesty, Hubert the
Second,
Since the nightingale's voice is quite musical
reckoned,
Is graciously pleased, as the day seems too
long,
To command that the nightingale sing him a

But, somehow, no nightingale answered the
