Every Policy issued by the Company is non-forfeitable, and contains a Clause staling its exact Surrender Value. BEFOP.E INSURING YOUR LIFE ur. ACCEPTING TUE AGENCY OF ANY COMPANY READ THUE F ?ELO WI NG K. A lengthened experience has demonstra teil that the mies of Premium ordinarily larged by Life Insurance Companies are from twenty-five to thirty per cent, in excess ot'what are necessary for a sale and legitim de conduct of the business. In other words, carefully and prudently-managed Companies charging "Mutual" rates have been able to return to their policyholders from 25 lo 30 per cent, of the amountcharged for premiums. When Life Insurance Companies were first organized, the reliability of the data upon which thc premiums were constructed had not undergone the test of experience, lt was thought, therefore, no more than common prudence to adopt a scale of premiums which would, in any event, meet all the presumed and unforeseen contingencies of the business. As long as the matter was involved in some doubt, it was better to fix thc rate too high than to incur the risk of making it too low , because, in the former case, the error could be easily remedied, at least in part, by returning to the policyholders, at certain intervals, such portion of the premium charged as was found unnecessary for. the purposes of the business and the complete security of the Company. Exp?rience, however, having satisfactorily demonstrated that these rates are exces sive, what possible excuse can there be fnr maintaining them ? Availing themselves of this experience, thc Directors and Managers of the Universal Life Insurance Company, at its organization, adopted a scale of premiums in accor dance therewith, and which has proved lo bc fair and adequate, and all that was necessary to meet the requirements of tho business; These premiums are about twenty five per cent, lower than those charged by Mutual Companies. It also appeared, inasmuch as the rates so established were as near as could possibly be determined fair rates, and not in excess of what Insurance has previously cost the Policyholders m Mutual Companies, that any profits arising from prudent manage ment justly and properly belonged to the stockholders of the Company, for the risk incurred by them in, uutfcrtakiiig tho business. Experience li?ssh?wn that tlioreajc sources of profit iu the ?jw?tice?ii the business which tlteory will ?.?{ ..-unit < ! .:? .?:. idea-.! as clements in the calculation of the premiums.

Profits li om these sources, in a Company \ ossessed, of a capital ol* $200,000, and do ?g a fuir amount of business, would give to :he stockholders dividends largely ?ri ex cess of what were counted on by the Directors of the Universal at the time of its ifganization. They have", ther??orS, d?b'rti^?a*fo divtclo among' (lie policyholders ?I he Company a large part of the profits accruing ?"rom ihc sources mum 1, all of which ?ave h< rctoforc been divided among the stockholders. The plan adopted for such division ;s as follows : Every person who may hereafter isure wi-.!; the Unieersalwill, for the purposes of division, be treated as a ;-:.?: !".!.'.! .r to tm- extent of one Annual Premium u?->.;i eis Policy ; and xviii share in llteprojils >f (he Company toprecise/y '.lie sume extent as a Stockholder otc ina an equal amount it' Ihr capital stock. By this system of Insurance, original with the Universal, the policyholder secures he following important advantages : FIRST. Insurance at the regular " Stock'' rales, requiring ti primary outlay oj iboul twenty to thinly per cent, less-than Utat churned by Mutual Companies,rand which is equivalent to a yearly " divide nd-' j aid itt advance of that amount on martial rates. This low cost of insurance is worthy pf attention. Since ils organization ihi* Company hos received in premiums from its policyholders Hie sum of $1,517,000. To .licet the same amount of insurance in a Mutual Company would hove cost them au litial outlay of ?$,000.000. Ly allowing ?ts policyholders to retain in their own pos I, thcUnivcrsa! has virtually paid them a "dividend" ot 483,000, and paid it, too; in advance, instead of at thc end of one or more years, lt : impossible io find any example of a Mutual Company furnishing insurance at so low a cost by returning lo its policyholders an equal amount upon similar receipts. SECOND. Participation in the legitimate profits of the Company, upon a plan which secures to the policyholders lite same treatment which Directors and StocklunUlers ii ward lo themselves. This system of participation, iii connection with the low "stock'' ra^es of premium, must necessarily sec tur lo ?he policyholders every possible advantage tb be derived from prudent and careful manag ment. The low rates of premium compckjjtcoponty, and, independent of participation, guarantee to the policyholder his insurance al a rate which is not in excess of the cost in well managed mutual companies ; while; by the proposed plait of participation hi what may be considered the legitimate profils of the business, the cost AV?I? bo stiil further diminished. Thus bv the combined u !vai tagt s : ri ?iug front low stock rate and participation in the profits it is confidently believed thaT-th-j L'Nl VEl?SAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY offers insurance ai it- lowest pratt kable'cost.

'Twas milking timi', and tho cows came up From the meadows sweet with clover, And stood in the lone, while pretty Jane. Had a quiet chat with the drover Such a quiet chat that it scarcely seemed That a bingle wortl was spoken ; While a magie spell with thc night dews fell, ' And the rythm or song was unbroken Tho cattle stood at the lover's sido, Without any show ol' vexation, As though impressed thal a live bar rest Was a part ol' their res.1 oration. And as Jane listened to thc notes that came Right under the tars and over, Her heart took witrg, the silly Hiing, And nestled up close to thc drover. Slie heard him say ibis horne was poor, That he'd nothing but love to give her; .' And she smiled' content, as though .Love had spent Every arrow ho had in his quiver ; She smiled content, when the evening air With voices of birds are ringing, And her lips confessed that a lowly nest Should never prevent lier singing.

As our readers may presume, [says tho Columbia Phoenix] we have not tho hon or of Governor Scott's confidence. Xor does thc Pheonix interview people whose statements, alter they arc made, maj' just as well bo deemed false as true. As his Excellency is now arraigned before tho bar of the public, and has been pla cod by thc New ; York World in thc c riminal's dock, it is proper that his dc fence be heard. Tho correspondent of j thc Charleston Cowier has interviewed Gov. Scott. About the only practical piece of information he gives, is that ar rangements have been made to take thc financial agency of thc State from the present agent and place it in the hands of the Union Trust Company, of New York. That is, Ody. Scott & Co. propose to lock the stable doors after the horse? of tho State have been stolen; and he, perhaps, not thc "least notorious in thc band of the Radical officials who have grown fat and waxed saucy upon the bleeding and mutilated body of pros trate Carolina. Why, we ask his Excel lency, did you make Kiuiptou your li nancial agent in -New York, and place millions of State scc.niiths in his un known hands, without exacting even a bond from him, such ?is an assistant cashier gives in ono ol'cur city banks? You and your advisers, we say to his Excellency, aro responsible in law and morals for all that thu Slato of South Carolina may lose from thc great conspi raey-financial-whereby unknown mil lions may perhaps have been added to thc public liebt ol janith Carolin a. Is it that the ffulifV-.-;. ol of TTl?? State may now he over $25,000,000? Il* so, can our poor and plundered people pay $1,500,000 per annum interest on that dela, and, besides that sum, thc current expenses ol' the Government? Whither are we drifting?

Wc are called upon to record another of those horrible crime? that have of late become so freq nen I, and which shock hy their atrocity all who hear them. i'n Tuesday Highton the Turnpike between New Albany sud the Charlestown road, a negro attempted to violate thc daugh ter of Mr. Amos Stacey a highly respec ted citizen of Clark county, Indiana. Thc screams of thc lerrified girl, and her struggles to free herself from the black Mend who had seized her, were heard by the family of Mr. Stacey, whose resi lience was near by, and tile father started to thc rescue of his child. But he had proceeded bi a short distance when he fell dead from heart disease, brought on by tho startling danger and excitement produced upon bim by it The would-be ravisher, in thc excite ment that followed, succeeding in mak ing his escape, and the girl was saved. Thc neighborhood was alarmed, and search made in all directions for the black fiend, but he succeeded in evading pursuit, and got safely away. The en tire neighborhood in which Mr. Stacey resided is in an intenso stale ol' excite ment, and there isnot the slightest doubt, if the negro is arrested, that ho will at once bc strung up to the nearest tree, without judge or jury. Mr. Stacey was a most excellent citizen, and his death under such terrible circumstances hits raised the passions of thc people in that vicinity to thc highest pitch, and it will not bo safe lor any negro who piny be found loafing around that vicinity for sometime to conic.

LINCOLN'S EMANCIPATION PROCLA MATION.-A Washington letter-writer thus refers to thc burning of tho eman cipation of Lincoln : Ii is announced that tho original copy of Lincoln's proclamation, by which thc people of the South wore robbed of four hundred millions of dollars worth ol properly, was consumed in the Chicago lire. It is further stated that Ibis pre cious document cost the people of Chica go twenty-live thousand dollars. Now cm any one tell how the people of Chi cago got possession of an original docu ment, which belongs to thc archives of thc Government, and who got the twen tv-five thousand dollars? jj&r The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, under the bonding of " Grand Collapse of South Carolina Carpet-Haggism in Wall street," says: " It will be seen hythe morning dispatches that thc carpet-bag plunder ers of South Carolinaare in New York endeavoring to cover up their tracks and secure their plunder. According to the World, who has looked into the matter, over twenty millions of Slate bonds have been printed and fraudulently issued f?rthe negotiation of which thc Finan cial Agent holds claims against tho Slate to thc amount of S-1,000,000. Scott issues a manifesto claiming that nine millions of these bonds have never been signed or issued ; but who can believe a word of what he says? We fear tho old State is gone up at last-a victim alike to Radical fraud and tyranny. Tho best wo cnn hope for is, that thc money loss will fall on thc Radicals who back such whole sale swindling with Government bayo nets. Surely the dcvA of fraud and vil lainy has broke loose, and isragingopon mouthed all over the country." fi'.i- A gentleman of this city some time ago had been dealing in chinquapins and was about to get overstocked. He concluded to inform those he was buying from that he could not take any more from them, and accordingly sat down to indite them a note to that effect. He got along yery well until he came to the word '?chinquapin" and hero ho was stumpped. He made two or th reo efforts but failed every time. At last a bright idea struck him, and he wrote his note thus : " please don't send mc airy moro ol'theso d--d things"-enclosing two chinquapins. We presume the note was understood. Tn E So CALLED KU-KLUX.-Tho Prov idence (H. I.) Herald says: The Ku-Klux business in South Caro lina has had everything to make it pros perous. Thc law is in the hands of shirtless rascals who have passed from their proper place, thegutter, to the bench by thc aid of negro votes; "loyal" vil lainy is permitted to run riot unchecked, nnd'if there is aught to be wondered nt it is that the number of outrages is not ten fold greater than it is.
