its banks, which are rated a mom: the strongest and richest in this country, nOn Broad street, one of the noblest :\venues in this country, are the old Xcwark Banking Co., the State Bunk and the

stresses, day laborers, and other peisonr, of small incomes. They are managed by the ablest and most trusty men in Newark and undoubtedly arc one principal reason why, even in the hardest times, the poorer classes of this city have so little need for cither public or private e'larity. There ought iu br tuch a bank in Vtaivfonhv'dUto induce men and women of small means to hnj 11/ a little even/ ireel for the rainyday.

On the corner of Broad street and Clinton is a fine stone building which furnishes no more thai, .implc room for the operations of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company, of Newark. It is now ranked among the greatest aud strongest companies in this country, and is one of the three that are mostsavingly managed. The Mutual Benefit, the Connecticut Mutual and the Mutual Life, New York, expend, in carrying out the purpose of their organization—I mean for their business—only a little over ten and a half per cent, of their income. The etl'ect is visible in their magnificent surplus which makes even the vast outlay of losses each year by the death of policy holders not only easily borne but one of the surest that can be imagined. This Newark company has, since 1840, grown to such dimensions as to the number of policy holders as to make it necessary to provide in the regular routine for an average of about one death a day. In 1870 thecompany paid in cash to the families of doceased policy holders overone million and a quartor of dollars!

This is a wonderful exhibit, aud shows why the best business men in New Jersey regard this company with so much pride and confidence.

The great drawback to Newark is the salt marshes which lie between it and Jersey City. It is like an extensive prairie that yields only a hay worthless only for the making of manure, and the prolific and unfailing source of ihe "wickedest musquitoes" on this conti-

The philosophical and chemical mind may know that whisky distilled from garbage is as pure and cleanly as that which comes from corn, but for a steady beverage the ordinary drunkard will doubtless prefer sound Bourbon or old rye.

The history of the expedition up to the 4th of last July has been published, occupying nearly a whole page iu the Herald. This is the greatest feat that even the Herald, with its boundless and far-reaching enterprise, has ever

done, and is in the liistory of journalism what great battles, the founding of new nations the completion of great public work sare inthe history of the world. There is no limit to the wonderful activity of the Herald in gathering news. It spares no pnins or cxpenso to overcome the greatest obstacles.

Some of its no misrepresentation of goods. Purchasbusiness houses are magnificent so jire

in the stand which

ers were not slow to fiwl out that in his

establishment there need be no fear of imposition. Whether they were perfcctr ly acquainted with the nature of the goods they wished to purchase, or were entirely ignorant on the point, they were sure of having the truth told. Mr. Stewart had it thoroughly understood by all his clcrks that they must tell the

the establishment. If a clerk was

themselves of the advantage.

The rigid observance of the "one-price system" was a rule necessarily co-opera-tive with the first. Healers confess that it is exceedingly difficult to maintain this rule, and where a large proportion of business is transacted on credit it is well-ninh impossible. But when the rule is "Pay on delivery," it can be maintained.

Comfort is brought to the household of every customer when he feels confident that ho can send a child or servant to make a purchase, and lie will be sure of not only getting the article he wants, but obtaining it on exactly the same terms as if lie were to go himself. It is a great thing for a merchant to discover that the money of the poor man is as good as the money of the rich—the cash of the stranger as good as the cash of the acquaintance.

In Mr. Stewart's vast establishment the clerks have no option whatever in the regulation of prices this, thev know, can never be taken out of the hand of the employer.

Nine-tenths of the terrors of shopping take their (light in view of these rules, and husbands can pluclc up courage to go with their wives when they understand there is to be no badgering or jewing.

There is still another rule with Mr. Stewart, which has immediate relation to the comfort and advantage of the customer, and that is his emphatic prohibition of any importunity to purchasers. Who is there, having had any experience in shopping in a city, that does not feel a kind of terror of a certain class of stores? He retains a vivid impression of his helpless bewilderment amidst ifbabble of recommendations and solicitations, until, at last, in sheer confusion or from the desire to escape, he purchases an article he did not want, and went out of the shop with an inward resolution never to enter it again. But here you may gaze upon millions of dollars' worth of gooda and no man will interrupt either vour meditasions or admiration. Among the highest productions of the cunniug skill of man you can make your choice without the least fear of intermeddling importunity.

A (Jueer Country. From the Uartford Courant.

During the Grand Duke Alexis' walks through the Bridgeport cartridge factory the other day, he pointed to several working men and inquired of (ioverncr Jewell, "Are tiiese men what you call the common people?" The Governor replied that they were a fair specimen ol the working classes in tins country. "But do you mean to say that these get into official position?" further asked the Imperial scion. "I'erhaps not any of these men," rejoined Governor Jewell "but men oF'thcir class do they are educated men, most of them—that is, they can all probably read and write, and most of them take and read the newspapers."

Business Jealousies.

\Ve fully coincide with the Indianapolis Journal of Commerce in saying that "the traducing of others engaged in the same line of business, is a common mistake among mercantile men, as well as others. Tf merchants would keep in view the one fact, that all success is based upon merit, combined in the opcratorand the article of goods offered to the public, this system of the detraction of rivals in business would be much less frequent, and commerce be conductcd upon a higher plane than that which considers chichancry aud misrepresentation as a legitmate means to accomplish a given end. The world is large enough for all who are in it, and it will tax to the utmost the capacity of those engaged in different brunches of trade to meet the demands in their spccial direction, without the attempt to displace others by the operation of undermining, which eventually never fails to defeat its own attempted object. The slur upon another's goods alters no facts, the articles themselves being their own best evidence, and one's ability to

Lacking these, any man or combination of men must co to the wall without the attempts at breaking down by an underhanded process, which are frequent among rivals in the same branch of trade. It seems to us that the proper system and foundatoin for business should rest uixn qualifications for its honorable conduct without meddling in the concern of others, leaving facts to govern, as we have unlimited faith in the actual existence of the historical old party who accumulated a competence by strictly attending to his own affairs."

The way to have fresh eggs at all seasons of the year, and the only way I know of, is to have a breed of hens that will lay in,the Winter as well as in the Summer." In order to accomplish this—1st.

Give them warm roosting [daces a hen poor, cold and half frozen every night, will not lay the next day. .'id. Hatch early pullets to lay in the Fall, while old hens are moulting, as they will stop laying a few days during this process, and keep mostly pullets over Winter, as they will lay more eggs the first year than they will the second, and soon. There is scarcely a day in the whole year that I do not bring fresh eggs from the barn to the house.—• Verd-mont in Country

Forty years ago, Illinois was as far West, A* mo» iHsople wished to go, and journeys were made in the legendary "Prairie Schooner," but in these days of progress and improvement, the word West has come to mean Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, California and the Territories, and the traveler reaches almost any point therein bv a splendid line of railroad.

Thisline of railroad is the Burlington route, which starts from Indianapolis over the Indianapolis, Bloomington & Western Short Line, and from Logansport over the Toledo, Peoria A Warsaw Railroad, and rnnning through Burlington reaches Omaha, Lincoln, Nebraska City, St, Joseph, Atchison, Leavenworth and Kansas City, connecting with the Union Pacific, 'Kansas City, and other railroads running from those cities.

People going to Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, California, or any point in the Territories, will study their own interests by going "by the way of Burlington," for the rates of that Jine are always as low as anv other, and it is the best route in the West, therefore you are more sure of your tafeiy and comfort.
