7: INSURANCE. NOTICES. POLlTICAIs! HEW PCBLICATIOJIS. The Maut Archiflak; the Land of Orang-utan, and the Bird of Para-die. A Narative of Trarel, with Studies of Man and Nature.

By Alfred Hansel Wallace, author of '-Travel ou the Amazon and Klo Negro," etc. INihlittbed by Harper A Brothers, New York. For sale by Henry Miner, Pittsburgh. This work 19 one of substantial merit, combining valuable information and pleasurable entertainment. It has the excellencies of a standard library work.

The writer posesses the rare talent of rendering a subject usually not Yery interesting to the general reader, eqnal to the most charming romance. Mr. Wallace is a naturalist of considerable reputation, as well as of scholarly attainments, and very enthusiastic in his loyeof natural history. This Tolnme is the result of his Tisit to the Malay Islands, which include Borneo, Sumatra, own. There is a quiet vein of humor pervading it, even amid the narrative of the stent duties of life.

Phases of their lives, especially of Meg's married life, are narrated in charming style. The story is also tinged with sorrow, because of the death of Beth, who is translated to a better home, than either Meg or Jo enjoyed. Perhaps Miss Alcott will gratify her admirers with a history of Jo's boys. We are assured sae is now engaged on a work of actual experience, to form one of the capital "Handy Volume" series. Realities of Irish Lira.

By W. Stuart Trench. Published by Roberts Brothers, Boston. For sale by R. S.

Davis A 193 Liberty street." This work ought to command a large sale in view of the attention directed to Ireland. But its intrinsic merits, aside from that fact, ought to make It sell well. Mr. Trench, as the agent of some English Lords having estates in Ireland, had opportunities that few have, and living through the thrilling scenes of Ribbon-ism, his experience was more than ordi-dinary. The course pursued by Mr.

Trench made him friends among the tenantry, though his life at times was in imminent danger. His presentation of the different phases of Irish life, and discrip-tion of thrilling incidents, will amply repay the reader. The volume belongs to Roberts Brothers' "Handy Volume" series. Hilt to Hilt; or, Days and Nights on the Banks of the Shenandoah in the Autum of 1S64. By John Eiten Cook, author of "Fairfax," etc.

Published by O. W. Carlton, New Y'ork. For sale by J. W.

Pittoek, Pittsburgh. This is a story of the close of the war, and gives a picture of the closing days of the rebellion that cannot fail to give interest to the reader. The book is, however, a historical record of "the other side," as the author's sympathies were in that way, however much he may think he has written in the spirit of candor. It will be welcomed, if for no other reason, to enable persons to read the views of those who lived in Dixie, and were involved in the struggle on that side. Mr.

Cook the reputation of being well educated, and a brilliant writer, which will go far to give the book a cordial welcome. The CLorn on the Heart. A Novel. By A. S.

Roe, author of "A Long Look Ahead," "True to the Last," Ac. Published by G. W. Carleion, New York. For sale" by J.

W. Pittoek, Pittsburgh. The author of this work is well known, having written quite a number of capital stories, which have been received with much favor by the public. Mr. lioe usually writes in a high moral tone and caters less than most writers of fiction to the sensational style so much in vogue these days.

The deliniation of character are vivid and natural, and there is an easy flowing style about the story that will be pleasant to the reader. No doubt the good reputation of Mr. Roe will be sustained in this volume. What lias Been Uoue by the National I.lie. It Is too late to talk of the importance of insuring one's lite for the benefit of those dependant upon him.

What was, some years ago, accounted by many scrupulous and doubtiLg ones as a "tempting of Providence-' Las become the recognized duty, as surely due to a man's family as the daily labor for bread, clothes and a home. The number of new insurance companies which are ytarlv started upon their course prove the extent of the popular feeling in favor of this beneficent provision. The two plans upon which insvrance is offered the Stock and the Mutual are industriously presented by their respective adherents, and the merits of both fully discussed. A sign-ficant indication of the popular choice is found In the great success of the National Life Insurance Company of America, which began business in August last, and has, since that time, been rapidly extending its agencies throughout the country, as well as in the Dominion of Canada. Upon the first of May, only nine months after its beginning work, the Company has issued five thousand policies a success unprecedented in tho history of insurance.

This is a purely stock company, lor which there is this to say: that while it does not always makes as glowing prot.iitet to the insured as some of the companies organized upon the other plan, it l'aitbluliy ful. fills every letter of the plain business contract which it makes with iu customers. It has low rates lor a certain fixed return; there are no possible uncertainties of notes or dividends, and no complications or disappointments at the death of the insured. The simplicity of the system, and the certainty of the position occupied, are recommendations too strong to be overlooked. We have spoken of the large business already done by this Company.

It has also met leases by death ol the insured, but these losses have been of such a character and so promptly adjusted, that they have strengthened the Company, where the circumstances were known. Rev. Lambert S. Fine, a clergyman of Troy, Bradford county, paid $100.25 on December 1st, 1SG8, for a $3,000 policy. He died March 5th, and on the 1st of April the f.j.OOO, (with no deduction for notes) was paid to his family, this being the only provision which the deceased had been able to make for their future comfort.

Could any other possible investment of one hundred dollars on his part have proved so judicious or profitable Another case was that of Louis II. Piagft, of Franklin, who insured for 1,000, and died in six weeks thereafter. In this case the prompt payment of the $1,000 enabled the aeent to effect $29,000 more of insurance upon the appreciative neighbors of the deceased. (Based upon ample financial capital 1 paid up conducted upon strict business principles, and managed by men of national reputation for honesty and sagacity, this Company justly jdeserves the IroDt rank it has taken in the insurance corps.
