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 a surrender value; are indis-
putable after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death.
3d-The premiums on Tontine po-
licy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only paw.
able in the event Oh 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 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-Experience shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontine DO.
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 years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
death.

And has she any accomplish

These questions are easily answer
ed. Many of the Persian middle

according to Oriental IDEAS. They

sing and play, as a rnle, well, and
are mistresses of all the arts of

pastrv making and confectionery

accomplishments of the poor ones
are naturally of more useful
kind. They are good cooks ana
bread bakers; they make the

they often are able to add largely
to the daily income by their knowl-
elce of some business or trade,
and none of them are idle.

The hospital is a miserable place,

in the healthiest mountain atmos-
phere of the world there Is no
shadow of excuse for their existence
except the vilest unhygienic and

1t is a glorious sign of the times
to see that the people are not al

How The Pope Lives,
From Recent Rome Letter.

From Recent Rome Letter.
The pope, now seventy'eight
years old, leads very regular life
and is in a fair condition of health.
At six a. IN. he celebrates mass IN
his private chapel. At seven a. IN.
he breakfasts on a cup Of chocolate
and milk, with sometimes raw eggs
beeten up. Immediately after
wards he receives the visits of his
court, and Cardinal JacOblni re-
ports what has occurred iu the world
and gives him account of the letters
received on papal business. Be
sides these official letters others ar
rive from all parts of the world,
mainly from priests, missionaries,
monks and nuns, while others con
tain sums of money from penitents,
and many are petitions for a bless
ing, pecuniary aid or advice.
After these letters in all Ian
guages have been translated and
their contents briefly reported to
the pope, they are placed in the pa.
nal archives. Hundreds of tele-
grams also arrive each day, the
greater part asking for benediction
in articulo mOrtis, which, naturally,
often only reach their destination
after the petitioner is dead AT
one o'clock the pope dimes, ana
then retires to his room TO rest ull-
til the heat of the day is past. AZ
six D. m. he repaires to the Vatican
gardens, where his carriage awaits
him. Sometimes he prefers to walk
and to rest in an elegant eastern
kiosk, which has recently been erect
ed on the prettiest spot in the gar
dens, where be takes coffee and ices
surrounded by his intimate friends
Precisely at sunset the party breaks
up and the pope returns to the pal
ace, as his physicians have forbid
den him to remain out of doors
after that hour on account. OF thu
malaria which prevails in the val
lev below Mount Mario. At nin'
o'clock, after half an hour spent il
prayer, the pope retires to bed.

Tea Drinkers Diseases,

It is not little curious that the |
diseases arising from the wrong
use of tea should be met with IN
greater frequency in countries
foreign to its growth. 1t might
have been supposed that where
production went on there would be
found those evils that attend the
consumption of tea in their great
est extent; but such does not APP
pear to be the case. The diseases
due to tea are well known to doc
tors, bnt the public seem to be
strangely Indifferent to the teach
ings of their medical advisers in
these matters. Recently, in France,
NJ. Eloy has reminded medical men
how vast is the number of diseases
owning an allegiance to the domln-
ion of Queen Tea. The list OF
headings in NJ. Eloy's.paper is well
calculated to arouse attention, and,
we hope, to lead to some abate'
ment of this widespread disorder.
America and England are the two
countries that are afflicted most
with the maladies arising from the
excessive consumption OF tea. In
dividuals may suffer in variety oi

Came Here TO be Married.
A YOUNG WOMAN FROM VIRGINIA
WHO WANTS TO MARRY A
SUPPOSED MULATTO.

esterday afternoon, upon the ar
rival of the steamer John w.
Thompson at the Sixth.street wharf,
Officer King took into custody two
of the passengers-James I. Brad
ford, said to be mulatto, though
his complexion is very light, and a
white country girl named Minnie
Tinney. The girl was poorly dress
ed. but rather gOOd-looking. She
is an orphan about nineteen years
old. The couple, who started for
this city to get married, boarded
the steamer at ChattersOn Landing,
a few miles below QuanticO, and
were curiously watched by the pas
sengers as soon as their intentions
became known. At the wharf Cap
tam Barker complained to Officer
King that the girl had run away
from home, and for this reason the
officer arrested both aud took them
to the Fourth Precinct station
house. There the young woman
insisted that her companion was a
white man. She said she loved
him, and nothing but the law would
ever prevent her from marrying
him. She saic he was going to
buy her some dresses and ribbons,
and was about to give list OF other
articles when he interrupted her
by saying, 81 have already bought
her a belt Bradford also said he
had not changed his mind, norcOuld
anything make him. There being
no charge against Bradford ne was
released about s o'clock, and left
the station threatening to use the
civil courts for the wrongs done
him. Bradford said that the girls
father and mother died when she
was but a small child, and that she
adopted by her uncle, William Gar
rett, a farmer in Caroline county,
Va. For some years past Bradford
said he had been employed doing
odd Jobs on Mr.. Carrots farm, and
often Miss Minnie would come out
into the field and make love to him.
At Q o'clock yesterday morning, ac-
cording to promise, Miss Tinney
met him at his fathers house at
Fairview, King George county, Va
The distance from her home was
about six miles, and she walked all
the way. They started for the
steamboat landing, arriving there
Just as the Thompson hove in sight
Bradford was very anxious to know
by what authority he was arrested
Minnie is still held at the station
house, and will not be released un-
til her friends are heard from, as
the police think the girl is not as
old as she is represented to be, and
is, therefore, not competent to en-
ter into a valid contract. Bradford
claims that he is not colored.

STONEWALL JACESON'S FLANK ATTACK
At charlottesville.

From General q. o. lIOward's
article in the September Century,
we quote as follows: "Somebody's

air with excitement, and to add to
it Dieckmann's guns and calssons,

Mr.. EVaTtS' Terrible Ride.
CHARLES c. PERKINS, OF BOSTON,
KILLED AND THE SENATOR AND
MISS MATTHEW'S WOUNDED.

KILLED AND THE SENATOR AND
MISS MATTHEW'S WOUNDED.
A telegram to the New York
HcraM from Windsor, VT, last
night says: This evening at about
half past six o'clock Senator
Evarts, Charles G. Perkins, a resi-
dent of Boston, widely known as a
writer or art matters, and Miss
JEANNE Matthews, daughter of
Judge Stanley Matthews, OF Gin
cinnati, we're out riding. Coming
from the farm where the beautiful
lake of Senator Evarts is situated
and while crossing the bridge one
of the horses became frightened.-
The coachman, Roberts, reined him
up, when the bit parted and the
briddle came of, which set the
horses in a run. The cOachman
jumped, and in trying to catch the
horses was thrown down the en-
bankment twenty feet. The horses
kept on at fearful speed, and
while turning a sharp corner all in
the carriage were thrown out, and
Mr.. Perkins, striking stone wall,
was instantly killed.
Mr.. Evarts received quite a
serious scalp wound, and Miss
Jennie Matthews was considerably
bruised, but had no bones broken.
Mr.. Perkins was on visit to his
son, Edwin G.. Perkins, who mar
ried q daughter of Senator Evarts.
From the route taken by the horses
after the bride broke it is miracu-
lous that all were not killed.
At ten O'clock D. m. Mr.. Evarts
was more comfortable and no
danger is now apprehended. DIR.
Crosby, of Concord, y. H., who
was in town, was Immediately
summoned, as were other doctors,
aud all possible assistance was
given them. Mr.. Eyarts was car
ried to bis house unconscious, and
so also was Miss Matthews. The
body of Mr.. Perkins was taken to
the house occupied by his son.

Mr.. J. NJ. Norris, an old resident
of Rome, Ga, says, that he had
been badly troubled with Kidney
Complaint for great many years
and with Eczema for three years (;
at times could scarcely walk and
had tried many remedies without
benefit, until he began taking Elec-
trio Bitters and amounting bis hands
and feet with Bucklen 8 Arnica

him great relief and he strongly
