Our talented young townsman, Maj. Wir. T. GABY, returned on Tuesday from a. two week's trip out West, and has placed on our table a batch of very inte resting St. Louis, Memphis and Atlanta papers,, for which considerate courtesy he has our best thanks. The Major (who ' always travels with his eyes wide open) bri gs fa\T>rabie accounts as to the Corn and Grain crops, but ^reports the Cotton crop as far below his expectations, and that nowhere had he seen Cotton fields that could compare with those of his be loved, old Edgefiold. Bully ! The Queer. Kose of Cookery Books. The best Cookery Book in the World the most thorough, tho most available, the most admi rabi y arranged-has been compiled, and. lately published, by a South Carolina- lady, Mis? THERESA C. BROWN, of Anderson. We have the honor to know the lady personally, and it gives us much ploasuro to assure lier that her task is emphatically-well done. Wo say this upon good authority, for our mother and sisters, not lazy women, go about willi the book clasped in their arms, and refu.no to ba parted from it oven for a moment. Miss BROWN'S work is en titled " Modern Pomostio Cookery" and is beautifully issued by EDWARD PER RY, Printer and Publisher, of Charles ton. It is divided into Thirty-four parts or chapters, and contai:?; Three hundred and Sixty Recipes. Our Southern ladies, if they pretend to be decent housekeepers, are now abso lutely obliged to closely superintend their cooking ; and to these ladies, one and all, we would say: You should undoubtedly 'procure a copy of Miss BROWN'S *l Mod ern Domestic Cookery." It will case and brighten yourjiath through life. The ?M>ok lies upon* ur table for inspection Wc will bc most happy to order a copy for any and every friend. Talk Abont Your Tomatoes! That colored gentleman of tho olden time, Harper Pickens, has presented us with a basket of wonderful Potatoes and Tomatoes. Of thc Potatoes wc simply say they are the finest and largest we have seen this year, but concerning the Tomatoes wc must be allowed to go into extreme ecstasies. "The Trophy!" The first we have seen in these parts. Many of them from 12 lo 15 inches in circum ference. Looking and tasting more like a luscious fruit than a vegetal il e. So let everybody get "Trophy'1 seed for next, season. Harper is still gardener and head man at Edgewood, and no man knows how to do a civil thing with bet-, ter grace than he. Important Concerning the Piedmont & Arlington.

LAMBERT, M. D., Med. Ex. This Company Offers the Following- Important Advantages to those About Effectin? Insurance on their Lives: 1st. Insurances Stock Rates, being from 20 to 30 Per Cent, less than the Rates charged by Mutual Companies. 2d. Each Policyholder is regarded as* a Stockholder to the extent of one Annual Premium on his Policy, and will share in the Profits of the Company to the same extent as a Stock holder owning an equal amoui.t of the Capital Stock. 3d. Every Policy issued by the Company is non-forfeitable, and contains a Clause staring its exact Surrender Value. BEFORE INSURING YOUR LIFE OR ACCEPTING THE AGENCY OF ANY COMPANY REA? THE FOLLOWING : . A lengthened expenencc li;:.-- demonstrated that the rates of Premium ordinarily charejedhy Life Insurance ?oinp; nica arc from twenty-live to thirty per cent, in excess of what are necessary tor a sale and legi: i mate conduct of- thc business. In other words, carefully aiidpruwntlv-maiwged Companies charging " Mutual" 'rates have been able to return to their policyholders from 20 tu .'it) ??er cent, of the amount charged for premiums. When Life Insurance Companies were first organized, the reliability of the data upon which the premiums were constructed had not undergone the test of experience. It was. thought, therefore, no more than common prudence to adopt a scale of premiums which would, hvmy oyent, meet all thc presumed and unforeseen contingencies of the business. As long as the matter was-involved in some doubt, it was better to lix (he rale too high than to incur the risk of making it too low ; because, in the former case, the error .:ould be easily remedied, at least in part, by returning to the policyholders, at certain intervals, such portion of thc premium charged as was found unnecessary for the purposes of- the business and thc complete security of the Company. Experience, however, having satisfactorily demonstrated that these rates are exces sive, what possible excuso can1 there be tn* maintaining them ? Availing themselves of this experience, the Directors and Managers of the Universal Life Insurance Company, at ils. Organization, adopted ascale of premiums in accor dance therewith, und which has proved io bc liur and ndi*quute, .id all that was neccssarjpto meet the requirements of the business. Tin se premiums arc about twenty five per cent, haver than those charged by Mutual Companies. It also appeared, inasmuch as thc nttes so established were as near as could possibly bc determined fair rales, and not in excess of what Insurance has previously cost thc Policyholders ia MtiiutU Companies, that any p"r&frs arising from prudent manage ment justly nndjproperly belonged tn the stockholders of the Company, for the risk incurred^ by them i:i undertaking the business. Experience has shown that there ait sources Vif profil in thc practice of the business which Uieory will not admit of Using considered as elements in (he calculation of thc premiums. These results from a saving in the mortality cf the members i f a'Com pany owing lo the medical selection of good lives, a gain in interest on the investments of ijbe* Company over that assumed in thc calculation of its pi cnn urns, thc'profits derivable from the lapsing and surrender of Policies ly J he nu tubers, and from other minor sources. . Profits from these sources, in a Company possesed nf a capital of $200.000, and d ing a fair amount of business, would give to the stockholders dividends hugely in ex cess of what were counted on by the Directors of the Universal at the time of its organization. They have, therefore, determined to divide among the policyholders of the Company a large part of thc profits accruing from the sources named, all nf which have heretofore been divided among the stockholders. The plan adopted for such division i* as follows : Every person who may hereafter insure with the Universal will, for the purposes ot division, be treated as a stockhol der to the extent of one Annual Premium upon his Policy ; and will share in thc profits of the Company to precisely the same extent as a Stockholder owing an equal amount of the capital slock. By this system of Insurance, original with the . Universal, the policyholder secures the following important advantages : FIRST. Insurance at the regular " Stock" rates, requiring a primary outlay oj (d)oul twenty to thirty per cent, less dian that charged by Mutual Companies, and which is equivalent to a yearly "dividend" paid in advance of that amount on mutual rates. This low cost of insurance is worthy of attention. Since its organization this Company has received in premiums from its policyholders the sum of $1,517,000. To effect the same amount of insurance in a Mutual "Company would have cost them an initial outlay of $2,000,000. By allowing its policyholders to retain in their own pos session this excess of $483,000, thc Universal has virtually paid them a " dividend" of $483,000, and paid it, too, in advance, instead of at the end of ona-or riiore years, lt is impossible to find any example of a Mutual Company furnishing insurance, at so low a cost hy returning to its:poli<whoiders an equal amount ,upph similar receipts. . SECOND: Participation in thc le'yithnuteprofits of thc fanptaifo-upon apian which .secures to thc policyholders llif sa)]it\treiil>tw,nt which Dirrctnwa'n'd olockhouhrs awiird ta t/tevueioet.
