Colored Hioni Life in Tkxar.? Married, several days since, at tho shanty of the bride, Miss Emily Norton, free.;yo-. inan of color, to Mr. Edward Rickctt, "plain"?the sendee being performed , by the Rev. Mr. Davis, colored. The beautiful arid accomplished bride is mir, fat and jfifty; anout ;the; cdlor 6f a side of solo leather painted with1 inllow, and is: oue of tho best washers and ironers on Acqul'a'strciet. iThe gallant groom is a pure Caucasian, an American born gentle man?drives a government team with great caso. The otily brides ma id on th? felicitous occasion was old Aunt Mnlinda Hawkins, wife of old uncle Isaac, somo timcs called Dr. Istac. Being taken by surprise, Aunt Malinda loft her wash-tub and proceeded directly to the altar. She was dressed sans stockings, sans one shoe, with a rope tied nround above her hips, w hich held, her skirts high above tho floor ?she was tho admired of all admirers. The ceremony was quite a private and family affair, and very little change was noticed in the household; in fact the parties had been just as intimate as could be for a long time, but the bride was not happy. The sympathetic Rickctt, who is about thirty-five years of age and a respectable looking white man, could stand these sighs no more, so getting Iiis papers and Parson Davis, h?> carried the war into Africa in a legitimate way. Mr. R. seems very happy?he dips the pure water from the ditch,stirs thehdecakcin the spider, pokes up the chuuks and acts as "universal wringer" to his washerwoman bride.?San Antonio Herald.

LAMBERT, M D., Medical J&nn^r' Tnis Company Oilers the Following Important Advantages to thosa About* Effecting Insurance on their Lives. 1st. Insurance at Stock Kates, being from 20 to 30 Per Cent, less than tho Rat?? charged by' Mutual Companies. 1 2d. Each Policy-holder is regarded n* a Stovkliuldcr .the extent of on* Annual Pre inittin on Id* Policy, and will uhare in the Profits of the Companv *o the saute extent us a Stockholm* owning an equal amount of the Capital Stock. 3*1. Every Policy issued by the Company in non-forf?iUble, and contains ?Clause t-tuiiiu; ii? ct Surrender Value READ THE FOLLOWING burreiiuer vaiue. '^p, .] J^!0jj BKFtmE IsrsuJtijra Yock Lifk on AccErrix? niis Aqkncy or a*y CoMrAtfr ; 0705 A lengthened experience has demonstrated that the rates of Premium ordmnrily charged b; Life Insurance Coin panic* arc from twenty-five to thirty per cent, in c\xccs*rof what are aerMswfty; for a safe and legitimate conduct of the business. In other words, carefully and prudently man,-, aged Companies charging "Mutual" rates have been able to return to their policy-holder* &&aY 25 to 30 per cent, of the amount charged for premium*. When Eife Insurance Companies were first organized, the reliability of the data upon whiter, the premiums were constructed hud not undergone the test of experience. It was th?ught, ih.-u fore, no more than common prudence to adopt a scab; of premiums which wenld, in nny ovet-.i, meet all the presumed and unfbrscch contingencies 0/ the business. ;-: An long as the matter vfttia involved in some doubt, it was better to fix the rate too high than tu incur the risk of making it too low; because, in the former caso, the error could be easily reruu tlicil, at least in part, by returning to the policy-holder!', at certain intervals, such portions of ilm premium charged as was found unnecessary for the purposes of the business and the, ?oiuulvw security of the Company. Experience, however, having satisfactorily demonstrated that thasa rates are oxoiWive, what' possible excuse can there be for maintaining them / ? ( w Availing themselves of this experience, the Directors and Managers of the Universal TSfs'Tn surance LvmjHtny at its Organisation, adopted a scab) of premiums in accordnneo therewith, and . which lias proved to be fair and adequate, and all that was necessary to meet thuremiirer-jcnlyef the. business. Those premiums are about twenty-live per cent, lower thun those charged by .Ma ina! Companies. It also appeared, inasmuch as the rates so established were ss near ax could possibly ite detor mined fair rates, and not in excess of what Insuruice has previously cost the policy-holders nr Mutual Companies, that any profits arising from prudent management justly mid properly be-' longed to the stockholders of the Company, for the risk incurred hy them in undertaking $4i\? business. Experience has shown that there are sources of profit in tho practice, of die basincs* which theory will not admit of being considered as elements in the calculation of the premiuni^.^ThVMo' result from a saving in the mortality of the nvanbers of a Company owing to the medial.sele]^ lion of good lives, a gain in interest on the investments of the Company over that &s*uni??l of the calculation of its premiums, the profits dctivable from the lapsing and surrender of Pelich-W by the members, and from other minor sources. ? &dj Profits from these sources, in a company possessed of a capital of $200,000, and doing a* ft?ir. amount of business, would give to the stockholders dividends largely In e.<ccss ef what ?iW counted on hy tho Directors of the Universal it the time of its organization. They have,- tb?rr-. fore, determined to divide among the policy holders of the Company a large part of the piofiM accruing from the sources named, all of which have heretofore been divided among the Hnrl..' holder*. ? y The plan adopted tor such dividends is ar. follows: Every person who may hereafter "iMurn with the Universal will, for the purpose of division*, be treated as a stockholder to the rxd-rit of 0110 Annual Premium upon his Policy; ami will share in fhe profits of the Couipanyitpwiselyih* same ejrtent as a Stockholder owing on canal amount of the capital stock. By this system of Insurance, original with the Universal, tlie peJicy-hc-ldcr sceUrcs the follow, ing important advantages: Fihkt. Jnsurtinee at the regular uSto-A*' rates, rcnniriitg a primary outlay of aha-1 luv Li to thirty per cent, less than that eharntd hy Mutual (ompanies, and which is equivalent' to a yearly "dividend" paid in advance ofthat amount on mutual rates. This low cost 01* in-ninni'-! is worthy of attention. Since its organization this company has received in prcininnife-front tin policy-holders the sum of $1,517,000. To efteet tho same amount of insurance in a Mu><iat Cum? puny would have ?ist them an initial outlny <>Cjj52,OO0,00O. liy allowing itV policy-hohh. rs to re-' tain in their own possession this excess of S-lsT^OOO, the Universal has virtually imiA'5!!****^ "dividend" of $483,000, and paid it, too, in atlmnce, instead of at the end of one or morcytais, It is impossible to find anv example of a Mutual Company filrnishing insuranco at sd low a co?f by returning to its policy-holders an equal umotint upon similar receipts. Second. Participation in the legitimate pro/its of the Cbi/iixnuy, upon a plan which senna to the Policy-holders the same treatment which Directors and Stockholders award to themselves. This ? >iem of participation, in connection with the low "stock" rates rtf premium, most neeesjarily teethe ttt the policy-holders every advantage to be derived from prudent and careful management.* The low rates of premium compel economy, and, independent of participation, guarantee to tho. policy-holder his insurance at a rate which is not in excess of the cost in well managt d mxitnitf companiesr while, by the proj>osed plan of participation in what may be considered tJi>?> ItyiH-t mate profits of the business, the cost will be still further diminished. Thus hy the combined advantages arising from low stock rate and participation in tKo pfoiltv it is confidently believed that the UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY ofllWh*>. surance at its lowest practicable cost. .. m t?r*Those of the existing Policy-holders who desire to participate in, the Profits undri thvDOw Plan can do so by making application to the Head Office, or to any of the Agents of tho.Con** P?ny. 1 he company is in a sound financial condition.
