THE ACADEMY OF MCSIC-Not since Its con-, struction has the Academy of Music besn filled with a happier or more youthful audience than assembled Saturday afternoon at the .mitinee or the Chapman Sisters. By the'kindness of Mr. Ford, the orr>tam ChBd^en/o? the. various public ir*:l'ii, ?on-, including- aHo-the colored orphans, attended in a body, and the row of beaming faces fringing thc family circle from side to side was a sight pleasant to look upon. These* little ones don't ha ve'favors of this sort shown them every day, and their gratification should be alone enough to add sweetness to Mr. Ford's slumbers for a month ofSuudays. Gifts were distributed to all, and a merry time they had of it tooting their horns add petting their doll*. D~ECASTRO.-A man who can draw a crowded house in the City or Charleston ror six successive evenings, and -orr a Saturday afternoon fill the Hibernian Hail with rv.teen hundred ladles and children, must have t te elements or success m his composition. An . that success DeCastro pro? poses to repeat durlr.g the ensuing week, chang? ing his pei formance every night, giving away pri? zes and goodnhlngs generally, add always keep? ing anticipation on edge. He must be seen to be appreciated; so must rhe pretty young lady he magnetizes, and who goes to sleep in the air, resting on nothing bnt her elbow-a tangible illustration or the manner In which one may "elbow bis way through the world"-If one only knows how. REPETITION OF TUE AMATEUR DRAMATIC PERFORMANCE-At the request,-of everybody, the ladles and gentlemen who so handsomely acquit-' ted themselves before an immense audience at the Academy or Music, In playing "Married Lire," will repeat the performance at the same p'.ac : on Wednesday or next week. On that ocra Blon, however, there will be an admis;.on ree charged; and the receipts will be "ap? propriated for the benefit of the Masel street .Synagogue. This ls the first time th it the Israelites of charleston have ever made an appeal i 10 the-public, -an J we think we may say ' nat .the public will not disappoint them. There If no class rt our citizens who are more public an.rited, and in time of need, none have made gres .er sacrifices )r'more cheerfully given money, blfj? and energy a a good cause._ THE DEATH OF BISHOP ANURSW.-Th.e me? nor?a!- exercises announced Intake place yes te r lay morning, ?lied Trinity 'Jhurch to overflow ng.

PANY OF THE SOUTH. We desire to call the attention of the public to some of the especial advantages offered by the above Company. It is under the management ef men of well known Integrity and ability. It is a PURELY MUTUAL Company, managed entirely In the Interest of its Policy-holders. It ls a strictly "CASH" Company, avoiding the "credit" system, whlohls.at best expensive, com? plicated and often deceptive, and is being aban? doned by the best companies In the North. "Fr is SIMP?Y TRADING IN MONET, AND DOES NOT INVOLVE ANT ASSURANCE PRINCIPLE," The solvency of a Company does not depend on the amount of its assets, but on the paoroanoN . of assets to liabilities, and on the character of its assets. The following table ls based on the "realized" PREMIUM ACCUMULATIONS of each of the Compa? nies named-made from the statements of the Companies and without any purpose of making invidious comparisons-for the sake of truth solely. The Statements or the Companies were made last year (except that of the Policy-Holders'). NAME OF COMPANY. .Mutual Life. *Pollcy-Uolder3'.... ?Equitable. .New York Life. t>t.

It might bc added that it does so despite the fact that its Investment in State Securities ls val? ued at..io=i por ccu', below coat. -The investment was compulsory. Prudence in selection of risks is another test of good management. Tae success of the Policy Holders can be best shown by a comparison with a few well-known Companies.
