? ^ '?.Alas, Poor Yorick I"
That man of "infinite jest,??:LEWIS
C!ojA;B, Esq., who in former'and -better
days, before disease and war had clouded
his soul, was one of-tue- keenest, wittiest
and most companionable spirits of our
oorrnrn'onity, is no more. He departed
this life on Thursday last, ai his home iii
our town, aged sixiy-one. He had suf
fered long from a .strange and' incurable
disease. Who?i of the old regime, does"
1 not remember .with pleasure his ready
wit, his^many inimitable tales, and Eis
inimitable way of telling them-especial*
ly his narratives of tho Mexican war, in
wbichhe proved himself such ? sterling
.* soldier? He was honest and honored
throughout life, and his many friends
followed him to the grave-with the sad
-' . ?onvi'etibirithat "a rare good fellow*?' was
gone forever.

The Last of the Kyaus.
That is of the old- stock.-.; ? few days
back, at bis home in the Horn's Creek
section, passed away PICKENS B, RYA?T, '
. i Esp;., aged about sixty. He was a quiet,
honest, amiable man, and leaves many
old and and warm friends.
Miss Butler's School-Entertainment.
This Entertainment is to take place on

Very Choice Peaches.
Very choice Pc?ches have been pre
sented Us by Mr. P.. 0. SAMS. We are
very inueh obliged indeed. Mr. SAMS
has also laid upon our table, from is own

Pumpkin-more or less !
A Sort of a Tornado.
Tho Ridge Spring neighborhood, so we
hear, was visited on Sunday afternoon
. last by a fearful, storm of wind and rain.
It is Bald that shado trees, fruit trees, and
fences, were leveled on all hands and
scattered promiscuously. And at the
residenco of Mr. Elijah.Watson, Sn, we
regret to statej a largo chimney stack was
. ' blown down, the bricks breaking through
the roof into the.dining room below, do

The Advertiser Corps in the Tallest
and Greenest Clover !
It is a pleasant thing to realize the fact
'that no matter how bad ' the times may
be, and how demoralized the people may
become,"there are always persons whose
innafe goodness is c?jcuiated to keep up
one's belief in thc credit of human na
ture. Such a one. ortainly is our amia
ble friend Mrs. BENJ; W. HATCHER, with
whbm it is as natural tp do a kindly and
womanly deed as for the flowers to bloom
or th(. birds to sing. Imagine her driv
ing up to the A dverliser door and putting
' ont a tureen 'of the purest and newest
Honey, a tray of tho freshest and sweet
est Rolls, ab3sket of luscious Pears, and.
another of fragrant Apples, all "for a
lunch for the Advertiser corps!" 'Tis
deeds like this-far more than dress, or
style pr faslnon?r-"Shat mark the true wo
man and the refined lady. If our honor
ed friend shall ever need, four or five
right plucky fellows to fight for her, she
"has bu i to mako a faint signal to the Ad
?vertucr corps. They arc hers to com

was of a most imposing character. The
procession was about two miles long, and
composed of persons of all political par

/was suspended during the passage of the
cortege. . The public buildings nnd many
private houses were draped in mourning.
The pall-bearers were A. G. Thurman,

From Texas.
NEW YORK, Juno 2(5.-A letter from
Fort Griffin, Texas, June 7th, says : "I
supposo you have heard of the great
slaughter of Indians herc. The cavalry
met some two hundred men, women and
children, and showed them no quarters
killing nil they could lay their hands
upon. Such yelling I never did hear
even- man was for himself. Thc infan
try was in the reserve, and caught all
stragglers, not even one escaped-orders
having been given to show no quarter."
Ruffians in Indiana attacked a house
occupied by four brothers, a sister and a
servant. Three jugs of benzine were
thrown into the house, followed by tor
pedoes loaded with buckshot, nails and
screws. The explosion of the torpedoes
fired tho house and Wakened the family,
when the ruffians fired fnto the house
Several inmates were fatally hurt.. The
ruffians escaped. One thousand dollars
reward is offered for their detection.
The Kins of the Ku Klux Kian.
We clip the following good thing from
the New York World of thc 10th inst :
The king of the Ku-Klux Klan, last I
noted as appearing on a South Carolina ]
road in the guise of an apparition eigh
teen feet high, decked as to its neck'with
a jangling ornament of a ninoty-fivc
pound anvil with .sledge-hammer pen
dents., and scratching its head with the
ends of rails lifted simultaneously from
opposite sides of tho highway, has been
seen again, this time in Chester Court
house square, One negro who followed
it saw it rise up into the air and thus van
ish out of sight, succeeding which it be
came visible as peeping over a Ui\\ sign,
under' which thc colored gentleman was
relating thc manner in which he had
frightened it away: "I'se friend to dc
Ku-Klux. Dev's good people. Dey don't
hann nobody but bad folks," tho black
mau is reported to have said, and on this
the siiado departs to a' corner of ..the
square and goos down a well. All breathe
.4 freely at this,.but in an instant every
thing is confusion, agaiii, a second geiri
(' man rushing in to say he had met it away
off in an opposite direction,. and that it 1
had putoutits.hand and touched him,
and de feel was as e?le as ice." Two
.nights succeeding flus -'inferna L levee his
Majesty reappears, in;tho -guiso of an ox
or cow thirty or thirty-five feet high and
mitch troubled with insuqts, the switching
of .bis tail sounding in the stillness of the
night a? tho rush of many waters, whilp
horiis of from ten to. fifteen feet in .length
. garnished his pal O', brow. Without stop
ping to inquire if tho reign of-the mas
todon had recommenced, the statesman
"by whose cabin this happened/iled wild
ly into town, his knotted and combined
locks standing, 'each black, particular
bristle on end. Thc United States inili
tiry having all boon orderectunder arms
with ball (artridg?, and a i eye-glass
each, fliof mystic lajl-swishing Ku-Klux
bow no longer sets- the government at
defiance.

THE FOXiLOWIIW J
A lengthened exp?rience han demonstrated that tho rates-of Premium ordinarily
charged by Lifo Insurance Companies are from twenty-five to tb.irtv.per cent, in excess
of what ape necessary lora salo and legitimate oomlucfc of j the business.. In other
words, carefully and prudently-managed Companies charging " Mutual" rates have
Leen ablo to return to ?heir policyholders from 25 to 30 percent, of the amount charged,
fur premiums. '.'..'??;
When Life Insurance Companies were first organized, the reliability of thc data,
upon, which thc premiums, were const meted bad . not undergone tho test of experience:'
It was tlioyi'Tbt, therefore, nb more tiian common prudence to adopt a scale of premium's
which W?xRo^ib any event, meet all the presumed and unforeseen contingencies of'the
business. ; . - ... ' . | .
As long raslie matter was involved in some doubt, iL was bettor to fix the rate too
Ililli than'tbfflcur the risk nf making it too low ; because, in the former case, the error
could be "easily remedied, at hast in part, liv returning to the policyholders, at certain
intervals,.such.portion of the premium charged as was found unnecessary for thc
purposes of the business and the complete security of the Company,
.. Experience/ ho we ver, having satisfactorily demonstrated ttat these pt\tj;s are exces
sive, wliat possible cxi:u& can'th(jfe ]'& ?!'1'?* ibai>aiiUHgih*,i? .
Availing themselves of this experience, the Directors and Managers of the Universal.
Life Insurance Company, at its organization, adopted? scale ?f premiums in accor
dance therewith, and which has proved to be nur. and adequate,- and.alt that wa"s
necessary to meet thc requirements of the business. These premiums are about twenty
five per "cent, lower than thoso charged by Mutual Companies. .
lt also appeared, inasmuch as the rates so established wera as near as could possibly. '
bcdeLermined /air rates, and not in excess of what Insurance bas previously cost the 1
Policyholders in Mutua/. Companies, that any profits arising from prudent manage- ,
nu-'iit" justly and properly belonged to the stockholders of the Company, for the risk,
incurred by them in undertaking thc business.
Experience has shown that there are sources of profit in ibo practice of thc business
which theory will not admit of being considered us elements in the calculation of thc
premiums. These resulta from a saving iii the mortality pf thp members pf a Com
pany owing to the medical selection of good lives, a gain; in fuier?st 0Q the investments
of the Company over that assumed, in th? cjwAfatjori' of its premiums, the profits
derivable from" thc Japsiftg and surrender of Policies by the members, aud'from other
minor sources. ? ?. . .
Profits from these sources, in a Company possessed of a capital of $200,000, and ?o
ing a fair amount of business, would give to the . stockholders dividends largely in ex
cess of what were counted on.by the Directors of the Universal at thc time of'its
? organization*. Tlicy .have, therefore, determined to divide among the policyholders of
the Company a large-part of thc profits'accruing from the sources named, all bf which
have heretofore been divided among thc stockholders-.
The plan adopted for such division is as follows : Every person who may hereafter
insure wilh'the Universal \"\\\, for" the purposes of division, be treated as a .st?ckhol-'
der, to thc extent ol one Animal Premium upou his Policy; and i^.iU thaw -hr thc profit?
of thc Coiupany'to.precisely Uie sC7?c extent as a ;V/c-. hholtler owing an crjitat amount
of the capital $twk
. By tins system ot insurance, original with'the Universal, thc policyholder secures ?
the following importanfadvantages : '
FIRST. Insurance at (lie rajular " iitock" rates, requiring a {primary oidhy oj
about tioenty to thirty per cent, less than thal charged by Mutual Companies; and
which is equivalent to ayedrly 1' dividend,? paid in advance of that ariiountonmiitual
rates. Thislow cost of ihsuranc? is worthy of attention. Since its organization this
Compivny has received'in-preniiumjB from its policyholders thc sum of $1,517,000. To
effect the same amount otinsurance in a Mutual Company, would have cost them ari
initial outlay of $2,000,000. By allowing rts policyholders to retain *in their own pos
session this excess of $483,000, th? Universal has Virtually paid tli?m a " dividend" of
$4S3,000, arid paid it,.too,- m advance, instead pf at thp end of one or inore years. It
is impossible to find any example; pf a Muti^?l ?cMp?nj.-'fu'Qp?^^ 'insurance at so
low a cost by returning'to/its'policylmblevii aa egual.aju'p.unf upon snnilar receipts.
SECOND, ' ^r?c'wa'tion ipvfycl^?miqte profus af Op ??,mpa,)w, up?n <? plan which
secures to the policyholders thc same, treatment which Doctors, duq Stockholders award
to themselves^. This system of participatioiij'jn connection with (bc Tow \' stock" "rates
of premium, must necessarily secure to ike pdticyfolders cycry possiblp '?idva?tage to
be derived from .prudent and ca)-ef^ ^an^g?meir?. . .< .
. The low rates of premium, ?ompel- economy, and, independent of participation,
guarantee tathe pdhc}%oldcr bis insurance at a rate Which is not in excess of the cost
in well managed mutual companies ; while, by the proposed plan of participation, in
what may be con?idered the legitimate profits of the business, the cost will be still
ftirth'er diminished. Kl . -, L .
Thus by thp-combined advantages arising from low stock rate aud participation 'in
the profits it is.confidently bebeved that' the tWlVERSAL LIF? INSURANCE .
COMPAN^ offers insurance at its lowest praptiqlb|e cost.
