St. Paul Dispatch Foreign wheat
markets are dull and foreign buyers
seem determined not to touch Ameri-
can wheat at present figures. But a
sound authority says: ''The British
must have our wheat. They cannot
make good bread of Indian wheat
alone" One of these days, and that
day not far in the future either, foreign
buyers will wake up to the fact that
they made mistake in not taking our
wheat at present figures. They will
have TO pay higher for it.

There lived q dIErter of a mile down the
road from the Beeches a wealthy bachelor
named Goldmore-a man OF fifty years or
thereabout, tall, pompous, and imposing to
look at-a man OF great sOlemnity, who never
laughed except in a responsible sort of way,
and who kept his coat well buttoned round
his ample frame, typifying, it might be, the
re serve with which he wrapped his person
atty from view. He was the sort of man
who, in a picture book, would look the very
image of a respectable Great Briton. There
W s an air Of steady s%olvency about him-a
ba,ance-at-my-banker' air-which was very
telling. The most timid shopEeeper would
have given Goldmore credit for a thousand
pounds before even hearing his name. His
mian would have carried him. With his
majesty, the bigness OF his frame, his vast
bony features, and the sober color of his
attire, he looked rather like an elephant who
had cast his trunk, and was going round the
world on a tour of solemn survey in a coat
and trousers.
Archibald Goldmore, ESQ.,, had a nephew
his heir-who used to come and see him
often, and who, being on the lookout for a
wife, was struck with the beauty of Sibyl
1CIulJlts Ills ILuIl1 OOAhAAOIO "a a {
young fellow, but no great favorite with his
uncle. He was heir, because there was none
other forthcoming, but nephew and uncle
never quite hit it off. The young man was
one of those fortunate, or unfortunate, people
very much either they are sure to be-who,
without being exactly selfish, have yet an
inordinate idea of their own claims upon life
and their fellow-creatures, with a proper
tionate disregard of other peoples feelings.
Young Goldmore would always help himself
to the best, even before his uncle's eyes, and
would never say, "Uncle, won't you try thisT
or "Let me recommend SO and so'-trifing
attentions, but by such little acts young men
sometimes make their fortunes. The nephew,
too, well knowing that his uncle employed an
indispensable cook and prided himself upon
his table, would yet in the most hippant style
find fault with dishes, and declare that in his
club in London the cooking was fifty times
better.
Outrageous sauce this!" he exclaimed one
evening as he tasted his boiled mutton.
"enough to put one off ones feed"
"At your age" remarked his uncle sol.
emnly, Il got very little sauce at all"
"GdUe enough, l daresay!' retOrted the
witty young man, with a great roaring
laugh, after which he finished his mutton and
asked for another help, administering the
condemned sauce plentifully.
From these few hints every reader of OBJ
servation can fill up a sketch of this young
fellows character, and it need only be said

Ante Bellum Life Policies.

Referring to the advertisement of
the New York Life, in another column,
it will be seen that this company re-
instated its Southern policies after the
war. This was but an act of simple
justice, yet it involved a vast amount
of vexatious labor to adjust and settle
these ante bellum policies. But the
company ''builded wiser than it knew"
This generous, as well as just course,
when there was much feeling through.
out the north at that time on the sub
iect, has made the New York Life the
most popular company in the South.
The office of its Southern department
in Atlanta, reports its new business
since January, double that over the
corresponding period last year. The
New York Life was first to adopt,
over twenty-five years ago, the ten
year nor FORGETTING policy. This so
completely met the possible miSfor-
tunes of lnsurantS, that it's principle
has been made the law of the land in
many of the States. The company
has recently introduced a "hve year
dividend policy" a policy that can be
surrendered and cashed, OF continued,
every five years. This r, quires a heavy
premium when taken i'll the form to
meet the popular idea Of an invest
ment, and hence it is not within the
reach of those who wish to pay a light
premium and make such an invest
ment as they consider profitable.
But the old ordinary life policy can be-
divided up into the turee Tontine
periods, ten, fifteen and twenty years,
making a combination plan,
which gives the most insurance
for the least money, and the same
money at interest while it is insuring
his life. We will give one of the com
binations of this form Of insurance.
A mar at forty,tWo takes thirty thou.
sand dollars on his life, costing less
than three dollars a day. Dying in.
side of ten years, gives his heirs thirty
thousand dollars. Not dying, he ex.
changes the first ten thousand for u
paid up policy of five thousand. He
still continues the other twenty thou
sand for five years longer, with the
original premium reduced one-third.
He now takes "a second paid up policy
for ten thousand. For the next Gvs
years he continues the remaining ten
thousand on One-third of his original
premium. The sum total of all his
premiums will then be less than
his paid up insurance, which is
about fifteen thousand dollars, y
and he mast lire taOenty yearyk
topaz out this amount. Having lived&
twenty years and expended fifteen
thousand dollars, the following is his
retrospect: Thirty thousand life
insurance for The first ten years.
twenty-five thousand for the last ten
years with paid up policies for fifteen
thousand, and a pension of n thou
sand dollars from sixty-two till his
demise Here is a large insurance il
ne dies inside of ten years, nearly as
large If he dies inside of twenty years
with still a moderate amount aChen he
dies, and from sixty-two till death, a
solid wall between him and the-poor- l
house
