" The New York World very pertinently inquires if the country now has to con? gratulate itself, for the first time in ten years, upon the spectacle of every State represented in Congress, why the neces? sity of "a ? Joint Select Committee on Insurrectionary States?" The whole theory of reconstruction was baaed up? on the hypothesis that insurrectionary States ^rore entitled to no representation, yet here we have every State represented in both houses, and still the necessity of a'' ''Committee on Insurrectionary States." There is an inconsistency in the matter, if it does not foreshadow a further application of the reconstruc? tion Boheme. The election is approach? ing, and it may bring the necessity with it. - i-.-? "I say, neighbor Snobs, if yon don't keep your hens ont of my garden I will shoot them." "Very well, Doolittle; shoot away; only if yon kill any of my hens, throw them into my yard." Crack went the fowling-piece morning after morning, and the large, fat hens were pitched into neighbor Snob's yard. They cooked well. After a fortnight or more, Doolittle discovered Snobs never had any hens, and that he had been shooting his own, they having broken ont of their coop. Pooket Diaries for 1872. ALL sizes and prices.

MONTAGUE, Actuary. E. W. LAMBERT, M. P., Medical Examiner. THIS COMPANY offers th? following IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES to those about EFFECTING INSURANCE ON THEIR LIVES : 1. Ineuranco at stock Rates, being from 20 to 30 per ccut. lees than the ratos charged by mutual companies. 2. Each Policy-holder is regarded as a stockholder to tho cxtont of ono Annnal Premium on his Policy, and will share in tito protits of tho Company to tho same extent as a Stock? holder owning au equal am mut or thc Capital Stock. 3. Every Policy issued by the Company is non-torfeitablc, and contains a clauso stating ita exact Surrender Yalue. Before Insuring your Life or accepting the Agency of any Company, USS ?VB TI?K FOLLOWING i A lengthened experience has demonstrated that tba rates ot premium ordinarily charged by life insurance companies aro from twenty-five to thirty per cent, in excess of what aro necessary for a safe and legitimate eonduct of thc business. In other words, carefully and prudonth-managed companies charging "mutual" rates have been able to return to their policy-holders from twenty-five to thirty por cent, of tho amount charged for premiums. When lifo insurance companies were first organized, reliability of tho data upon which pre? miums were constructed had not undergone test of experience. It was thought, therefore, no moro than com (non prudence to adopt a scale of premiums which would, in any event, meer ali tiie presumed and unforeseen coutingeucica of the business. As long as the matter was involved in some duubt.it was butter to fix tho rate too high than to incur the risk of making it too low; because, in tho former case, tho error could be easily remedied, at least in part, by returning to tho policy-holders, at certain intervals, such por? tion uf thu premium charged as was found necessary for tho purposes of the business and tho complete security of the company. Experience, however, having satisfactorily demonstrated that these rates are excessivo, what possible excuse can there be for maintaining them? Availing themselves nf this experience, tho Dire ctors and Managers of the Universal Life Insurance Company, nt ila organization, adopted a *. cale of premiums iu accordance there? with, and which has proved to be fair and adequate, and all that was necessary to meet the requirements ol the buiiucss. These premiums aro about twoutv-fivu per cent, lowor than those charged by mutual companies'. It also appeared, inasmuch a* the rales so os tab) lah od wero as near as could possibly bo determiuuo/oii* rates, ami not iu excess uf what insurance has previously cost thc policy? holders in mutual companies, that any protits arising from prudent management justly and properly belonged to the stockholdors of the company, for tho risk incuired by them in un? dertaking the ousint ss. Experience has shown that there arc sources of profit in tho practice ot the business which theory will not admit of being considered ?* elements in the calculation 'pf the premiums. These results form a saving in the mortality of the members of a company owing to the me? dical selection of good lives, a gain in interest on tho investments of tho company over that assumed in the calculation of its premiums, tho profits derivable from Uio lapsing and sur? render of policies by tho members, and from other minor sources. Profits from thuse suureos, in a company tHissessod of a capital of $200,000, and doing u f'.ir amount ut business, would give to thu stockholders dividends largely in excess ol what were counted cn hy tho Directors of the Universal al the timoor its organization, They have, therefore, determined to divido arn ing the policy-holders of the company a largo part of tho profits accruing from tho sources named, all of which have heretofore heeu divided among tho stockholders. The plan adopted ?or mich dividion is aa follows: Every person who may horeaftfr insure with tho Universal will, for thu purposes of division, bo treated as astockhohhr to oxtent of ono annual premium upon hi* policy: nnrf ""iii share in theprojl's of the Company to precisely the same extent tts a SlockJtOlder owning an equul amount of the Capital Stock. By this system td iusitranco, original with tho Unloersttl, tho pohcy-hohlera aecuro the fol? lowing important advantages : 1. Insurance at the regular ".tock" rates, requiring a primary outlay of about twenty,to thirty per cent, less (linn flint charged hy mutual companies, and which ls equivalent to a yearly "divhlenn" pani in advance ol that amount on mutual rales. This low coat ot insur? ance is wm thy of attention. Sn cn its Organization, this company has recuived in premiums from its policy-bidders thu tum ol tl,517,OOO. To effect tho sam? amount of insurance in a mutual company would have cost them lin Initial outlay of f-2.OOO,DOO. By allowing ita policy? holders to retain, in their own possoHdlon, this excess ot ? 183,000, the Universal has virtually paid them a '"dividend" of $483,000. and paid it, too, in a?yanco, instead of at tho ond of one ?ir more j oars lt is impossible to lind any example of a mutual company furnishing iuaur ance at so low a cost by returning to policy-holders an equal amount upon similar receipts. '2. Participation In the legitimate profits of the cum pa ny, upon a plan which secures lo the policy-holders the same treatment which directors and stockholders award to themselves. This system ot participation, in connection with tho low "stock" rates of premiums, must necessarily secure tu the policy-holders ever} possible advantage to bo derived from prudent and careful maun Trinen'.. The low ratt s ol premium compel economy, and, Indoj ..dent of participation, guarantee tn i !; pnlicj -holder lils insurance ai a rs ti which is not in excess of thc coat in woll managed minn.ipaiiifs; while, by tho proposed plan > f participation In what may be considered ; he " mimili le prouts i i i be hufir.ess. i he cot>f Will bc still fui t her diniiiiicln d. l nu* by the combined ii.lvaiih ::>. urging I.i low .?tock rate and participai inn in profits, it i? confidently beli< v? ?I t bc L'AlVEI.SAL LIKE INSURANCE COMPANY offers insuratce at its lowest piacticithle cost.
