vantages combined in one , and at a much reduced cost.
This Hoiul Policy is superior to ordinary Life Insur

THIS NATIONAL Lin : is the only company , which , issuing
a bond policy , guarantees a cash return if you wish to dis

an Installment Bond Policy it is incontestable and good as
gold.Tho
The Installment Bonds are Issued from ono to twenty
thousand and run from ten to twenty years , payable an
nually , scmi-annually or quarterly. For instance : You
buy a $1,000 twenty-year Installment Bond Policy payable
semi-annuiilly. Tills bond then becomes payable to you for
$1.000 cash at the end of the twenty years , or your heirs
will receive the $1,000 cash at once in case of death , or you
can withdraw any year without loss , thus combining a sav
ings' bank and insurance that is exempt from creditors ,

history of a lady who was ono of the
principals in a very fashionable wed
ding at the Palace hotel on last
Wednesday evening. The sixth lloor
has long been known as the abode of

the oldest residents on the lloors are
W. E. Brown , who is connected with

years before she formed an attachment
for an Italian army lieutenant , whom
she met while traveling in Italy , and
whom bho married. A divorce followed
soon after , however.- Lavish entertain
ments wore given by Daniel Brown and
his wife after their marriage. Only a
short time elapsed before the young
husband began giving strong evidence
of tlio fact that his habits wore ox-
trcmoly convival , and the ( lowing bowl
was not exactly unknown to him. This
sort of thing wont on until Ib85 , when
the couple wont east together. While
residing with his family in Philadelphia
ho disappeared ono day very suddenly.
Days wont by and no tidings came of
his whereabouts. Ills distracted wife
firmly believed that ho had been foully
dealt with , or that something equally
terrible had happened. She per
sistently refused to bollovo that ho had
willfully deserted her , hut hearing no
tidings from him , finally returned to
her family in Han Francisco. It was
not long afterward that she heard ho
had been seen in New York city ,
remarkably well and healthy. Slie
soon ascertained that ho had deserted
her in the most willful manner , and she
thereupon took steps to obtain a divorce
which was finally granted. Last Wed
nesday evening nor third wedding took
place , the bridegroom being another
cousin , Winsor Brown , who resides in
Oakland. After the ceremony the happy
couple loft the city for a brief honeymoon -

From I'hilJIps , Neb. : '
' .Hie time-Is not fur distant uheA U Mill bena
longer uecvBsary ta iqvltptip | marriageable
tinies. and , as might natu
rally bo inferred from such conditions ,
everything is very proper. Shortly af
ter the two easterners had settled
themselves in their new domicile , nnd
had become accustomed to their new
surroundings , they noth discovered that
one of the waitresses who attended to
the mundane wants of the guests was a
remarkably pretty girl , and one who , to
judge from appearances , wa calcilated
to adorn a position in life very much
superior to that which she then occu
pied. The admiration of the ono col
legian was simply that of a connoisseur
in beauty , whose artistic sensibilities
were gratified by thcsightof the grace
ful young girl who Hilled about the
house in the course of her
duty. With the other , however , the
case was altogether dilTcrcnt. From
the oycs of the shy and modest little
maiden Cupid's dart had been launched
and had penetrated to that soft and sen
sitive spot under his left waistcoat. In
other words , before he himself realixed
it he was madly in love. True love
never runs smooth , so it is said , and this
ca o proved no exception to the rule.
When the young fellow intinvitcd to his
friend how matters blood there was ( juito
a row. Remonstrances against his folly
were of no effect , and the love-lorn
swain consoled himself with the thought
that if the Damon-aml-1'ythias act was
played out at least lie was making a
good running with the girl. The bettor
ho got to know her the better and moro
lovable she proved to be. Hy this timo.
however , the matter had been bruited
about through the hotel ; everyone knew
the little love storv and how the friends
had fallen out about it. As is usually
the case , all the lady guests
voted the girl lla sly , design
ing little minx , " and did their best
to stare the girl out of countenance
whenever opportunity oflcred. The
proprietress , when the alTair had
reached this point , incontinently IIrod
the pretty waitress out of the hotel ,
hopin- that by taking such a step har
mony mightbo restored and such an im
proper proceeding as a man falling in
love with a woman , and vice versa , bo
nipped in the bud. Easterners may bo
tenderfoot , but they are not all fools ,
and the ono in question , though ho did
not do much talking , about the tlmo his
girl was discharged from her situation
ho did a heap of thinking , and as an put-
come of his cogitations lie and the dainty
little woman of his choice were married
last Friday evening. Of course ho is
mad , cnr/y , clear out of his head. That
is the correct thing to say , and almost
everyone acquainted with the facts of
the case Is loning no opportunity to say
it. Mcantimo the young couple are as
happy as turtle doves , and If they are
crazy , at least it ib a very delicious
phab'o of insanity.

That the heathen Chinee is peculiar
and also understands a good game wlieti
ho sees it is attested by a Chinese doc

who came hero from Hong Kong as as

to bo a letter of instructions as to what
ho should bay when examined , after being -
ing taken oil the ship on a writ of

follows :

States lish commission. They wcro
shipped from Wood's Hole , Mass.bix

Jmr Sir : 1 congratulate the
tlmt your Company nnd 1 do not know
a sounder ono otters a
LIFE INSURANCE BOND
to which no prudent man who needs in *
surancc can object. It meet * every"
contingency , combines ondownmon
with insurance , and does not contain
any possible trap. His good for It.sfaco ;
at maturity or previous death , and for ti
precisely stipulated sum , after two yoarai
Tills stipulation of a dellnlto , fair and

life insurance has generally lacked , and
the want of it has disgusted the public
with the business , oven as conducted by
the most solvent and economical comV
panics. That a company which has fou
forty yours maintained the hith- <
estelmractor for economy , conservatism ,
prudence end cntegrity , and weathered
every storm without ti leak , should nlTor
such a bond , is pretty good proof of itg
safety.
It will certainly bo preferred to any
other form of life insnrnnco by any ono
who knows the fact that at thirty ho
has a greater chaiicoof livingto be sixty
than of dying earlier ; at forty a greater
chance of living lobe sixty-live than of
dying earlier ; and at fifty moro than an
oven chance of living to bo seventy.
How much better , then , to luive a bond
payable to oneself at an ago when ho ia
more likely to bo dependent than to
have others dependent on him , and on
which payments may cease at any timo.
without loss , than to have a policy on
which nothing can bo received till
death , or at the arbitrary discretion , or
want of discretion of the company ?
Providing in the contract only for the.
contingency of death , and leaving1
wholly unprovided for an equally im
portant contingency , that of living be
yond the insurable interest , has proved
a sad trap to thousands , and the Nation
al Life Insurance C'ompany of Vermont ,
in issuing this admirable bond , which ia
wholly free from any such Iran , has
taken the grandest step in fair dealing
within the history of life insurance.
'Phis bond , becoming after two years ,
a really negotiable security , will bo offl
great use to ono who wishes to own in
stead of renting a home , for it will fadl-
itato procuring a long loan by which
that object can be otl'ected. And it will
never bo a piece of property of indeter
minate value , as is the case with nearly
all life insurance policies heretofore is
sued. ELIZUH WWGJJT. ,
