We have nn hp<itnnf?v hi Rffiti 11 ir fciiiit: AniOliirtlit* able bodied male adults of this city the very common summer beverage known as "soda water," and which is dealt oia so unsparingly oil every corner during the ' heated term, is considered, to use their cwu language,^ a "thin 1 drink." But while the ingenious mixture of wind and water i3 termed "thin," stroug liquors, auch as whiskies, are altogethe? too thick for a steady warm weather drink j and so the imbiber who must moisten his lilies with some liquid re freshments seeks the'pleasaut combina tiou of the two classes \of drink, which forms a happy^combination that exhil arates, yet is' riot intoxicating. It is customary among theso bibulous go betweens to 'enter a drug-store, trail for soda, water, name their syrup, at the same time giving a wink to the dispen sed of "slush," who takes the goblet in which he placegr'tlid syrup; then 'stoops dop-u beneath the counter or retires to a back room, where ;by some mysteriou.> chemical chango, the con tents are colored darkjy and' the soda water is then let in upon the mixture/ which is handed to the .customer with a wink from the clerk. So much lor the process, now l'or the sequel: ' " ; ' " " ' Saturday a venerable gentleman from the country, who is a respected church deacon, ajU6tice of the peace, a-meinber the "Band, of Hope," and a Good Teninlarin .his native villaire; cfcme to the city to trade a little in dry goods, und purchase such agricultural imple aients as he needed to plant and cultivate his spring crops/ The deacon is strictly temperate, and' novfcr "looks' upon the wine when ft is red any: more' tlian' he Joes when it is any other color.' Unfor tunately, our old friend had sufl'ered from opthalmia in his early daj's, which eft him with an optical peculiarity, tvhich caused his upper eyelid to drop jvCi'y few seconds, and which, to those :iot familiar with his infirmity, gave aim the appearance of winking inten tionally. '? ' ' The "Deacon" is passionately fond of soda water, and such light beverages. Lie loves to feel the gaseous compound joursuig ciown ins uiroai, anu craning Internal commotions;* and typhoons, :hat, however endurable by old persons, ;hrow babes into agony, and require prompt doses of peppermint, so Satur Jay, after he had bought a* few shovels, plows, hoes, rakes, and thres'hing ma chines, also a Dolly Varden for his Wife, lie thought he would fill up with soda water and' drive on towards home, lie Altered a drug store, inquired the price >f the desired refreshment, then depos ited his scrip and'awaited its mixture. "What syrup do you w^ntV" said the urbane clerk as he mopped off the mar ble counter with the same towel lie jjsed i moment before to remove the honest sweat from'his brow. " ' ' .Oil give rue sassaparilly; that is about is healthy as anything. I guefs'." (Here the deacon's eyelid went back on him and dropped quickly.') " "All right, replied the fountain tender, la he disappeared below the counter, aid came up a moment later with the Irinking gloss containing about three Angers' of 'sassaparilly,' to which he udded the other ingredients and handed it to the deacon. The latter drained the contents to the very dregs, then brushed the froth from his mouth, smacked his lips and said, 'that syrup is a leetle 3ironger than they generally make it. but inv blood is out of order, and I iruess I'll take another glass; a? the same time hi? eyelid fluttered meaningly as before. The dose was repeated, and the soda water bibbler left the store. About halt' thi hour later he entered another estab lishment where a sign announced "Soda and'Mineral Waters on draught." It was notieed the deacon walked us if he had the spring halt as he entered the door, and his spectacles were upside down on his nose. He called for 4,Con gress Water" at. this place, saying he / didn't" feel quite right, and was afraid lie had used too much syrup in his soda water at the other store, or else he was bilious." His optical weakness exhibited iteelf as he spoke, iind returning the wink, the clerk retired to a dark closet, then returning, filled up a -glass with plain 'MCfongres" and gave it to our now "tightually slight" friend, who swal lowed jt without a murmur. How many "soilas" the deacon stored away before he left the city we arc un able to say, but he was found late in the day asleep, in. lii*. svugpn, with a plow, point lor a pillow, and several yards of T)oliy Varden calico gracefully draped about hiajwson as a .covering, lie revived 'sufficiently to- inform a stranger that he had been "drugge_d,"'aird a sub a^juenl vibit tp.tho localities where he h?d taken soda water developed the fact that his unfbrfUfi'gte "habit of wink ing?a defect over whicti >ve had"~no con trol? w&I ? ftio "cause of alt 1ri# -tftfuble." ;?.. . ,? 1.1?

Tiie Lost Land of Opiitr.?-The great German geographer, lien* Pe terman. says that England baa at last discovered the long lost land ot Ophir ko-famous in the Bible for its stores of gold und-pvecions stones. Zymbabye is the place. It is rich in alluvial gold, precious stones and diamonds. It possesses rains of extensive piles of buildings of unquestionable and remote antiquity. Three days journey from Zymbabye similar ruins have been found Strange to say the pres ent inhabitants only entered the country fofty years since, and they regard the ruins With ttwe and invest them with a sacred character. The geography of the plate agrees with the Bible description. Herr Carl Maunch says that .England's "newly acquired diamond fields in East Africa ai-e identical with tl;e Ophii* of the Bible from which Ring Solomon iis said to have conveyed gold, ivory ar.il precious 8tone* to Jcrurnlem for < the construction of the temple." " i Universal Life 'Insurance Company. A now cause of complaint against life J insurance is beginning to tind voice in tlie expression*" of dissatisfaction heard ] on every side with regard to diminished dividends. These complaints are cer tainly not unfounded or unreasonable. < Many of the companies which whilom ] ran a thriving business, as regards the > issue o; policies, on the strength of promised dividends from thirty Ho'fifty per cent., are now. compelled to confess their utter inability to declarc any div idends ut all; while even the oldest and wealthiest mutual companies have been obliged to resort to new methods of di viding surplus, as a cloak to cover up their deficiency of means to make good their previous promises. What "dividends" have been grow ing small by degrees and disagreeably less of late years-, is, we believe, fctfufli ciently notorious to leave little room mi i]uwuwu? iiic iit'ijnvroo uuiuuio v^? , policies in these companies have already learned the lesson of their disappoint- "< inent; ami taking couuscl of their l'cars : arc in a maze of wonder aiid alarm as ] they compare the present with the past, . and begin to-realize the wreck of their i hopes as to the future. The best evi* | denee of this is to be found in the enor- i tnous and unprecedented number ol i "lapses" shown in the report of the ' companies for the past year (1871,) and m the increased amouut of new business | transacted. * i A very notable exception to this gen eral rule is tu be found iu the statement 1 of the Universal Life Insurance compa ny, published on the last page of the ' cover of oijr present number. It is cer tainly a just cause for congratulation on ihe^jartof the management, that while with the great majorities of companies the business'of 187i lias fallen short of that of J870, that of the Universal has increased nearly "fifty per'cent:} nay ' more?its actual increase has been great er than that of any other company in 1 the country. This, However, is not tne only point of-interest shown by the 1 .statement'in question-. The company 1 in its stability,has more than kept face with its Increase of business, oiie-tnird 1 of its assets UMng a surplus over the requirements for solvency under the 1 rijjid exaction of a four and one-half nei cent. valuation, as demanded by the laws of New York: Since its organiza- 1 lion this company has issued nearly. tlinriKiiml nolimes at rates varv ing from' twenty to thirty per cent'. I owe j titan tho mutual companies; has paid nearly seven hundred thousand dollars to the representatives of deceas ed policyholders, and yet stands to-day > as regards all the elepiepts of strength and solvency in a far''-belter condition than very many mutual companies of us own or a greater age, which have re ceived one-third more in premiums on a similar amount of - business. Can there be n Wetter certificate than this of the excellence of its plans, or the spirit and integrity of its management? Surely it is natural that in the present temper of the public mind regarding < the diminishing "dividends" by mutual companies, and the consequent uistrust in the decreasing business of those com panies, that agents of ability and sound oesiness views should be attracted to- | wards a company which presents sueh | solid claims in its plans and manage ment for public recognition and sup? port. And such, we are gratified to leiirn, is the case, and '\vhich"we ven ture to predict will be abundantly ver ified at the close of the present year by a satisfactory increase in new business I * I- -* iu-t . ? tif over liiUl U1 lot 1 ) U ^lUlllJ 1JVMI uvnv UI this result being already obtained;.in (lie fact, that the business transacted , during tlie first three mouths ol' the present year is more titan double that 1 lor the- corresponding period of bust year. ' v - I The recent action of the company in granting to the policyholders a share in the profits of the business, is just what might be expected fioin the character of ( the management, and entirely dissi- j pates the only argument ever urged of t any weight* against the stock plan, { namely, that life insurance, being en- ( tirely unselfish in its nature and objects, 1 4.1. _ 1 niirl / aim inu uiiajii mi, wi uwiiwtuiviivv mum duty, was not a fit subject for monetary speculation, and therefore should be supplied to the public without any pro lit to those engaged in the conduct of the business beyond a fair living salary. Although dissenting entirely l'roiu this view of the question ourselves, we are fully aware that it is pretty generally accepted as correct by the majority of insurevtf, and the manner of the univer sal certainly show stheir wisdom in meeting the question in the only way in which a prejudice is evfir successful ly met?succumbing, to it. In the method of division adopted by the company great fairness and liberal ity are shown toward the insured. Each policyholder is treated as a quasi stock holder to tjie amount of one annual premium'on his policy, aiid on this amount he will receive of each profit dividend declared, the same share that a stockholder would receive on an equal amount tit capilal stock. These divi dends, in view qf greatly reduced pre miums charged, must necessarily he small; but thfeir 'chief value, in pur I'm >" thu fflft that no nrofit jean be received by the stockholders which is not participated in by the pol [ icy-holders, thus necessitating on the j part of the management the greatest ! possible care and economy in the con duct of the business. In conclusion, we will add that we know of no com pany that oilers more attractive fea tures both to the Agent and the intend- , iing insurer than that under review. | j Its undeniable solvency, the rapidly in creasing popularity of its plans, its low I rates of premium with participation in ! I profits, and though last, not least, the | waneing favor with which the so-called I mutual" system is regarded by the i public, all combine to convince us that - [ there id no other company which pre- ' sents so many elements of success in ( i the hands of intelligent and energetic i Accents as'the- Universal. To all-such H j ttilit apply to tlie manngers, we can ill sure courteous liberal treatment. JOHN C. CHILES, General Agent. Mill Way, S.
