Actual settiements of Tontine policies have been -made in which policy-holders have withdrawn amounts varying from eighty to one hun- dred and twenty per cent of premiums paid, besides enjoying a life insurance indemnity during the period. No other Company can show such results.

BUCK & RAYNERS MOTH POWDER Has always been put forward with the claim that it is the2n08t ener- getic insect-destroyer known. The “Persian” and *Dalmatian” Powders, as they are generally sold by the pound, are sometimes good, generally inferior, and in many cases utterly worthless from age or adulteration. BUCK & RAYNER'S MOTH POWDER Never disappoints the purchaser. It is swift and sure destruction to the myriads of insect pests that infest the kitchens and bedrooms of even the most careful house- keepers, It forces them from the cracks and crevices where they hide, and kills them as they run. BUCK & RAYNER'S MOTH POWDER Is non-poisonous, and one package will clear a house of Roaches, Fleas, Flies, or Bedbugs. Delivered in the city or sent by Express at 5o cts. and $1.25.

The Prestdent, while recognizing the fuct that the Coustitution requires the advice and consent of the Senate with respect to the contirma- tion of certain officers, Is disposed to main- tain his constitutionnl prerogative of select- ing the persons to be nominated. .This Is the Interpretation - which tha immediate frlends of tho President put upon the message with- -drawing all..the New York nominations ox- cept that of ‘Judge-Robertson. ‘It «wonld scem that 1t was the flonl word of the Execu- tive upon the question of the'New York ap- pointment. It was p AN ACT WIIICH AMAZED THE SENATE, and which certainly the celebrated Committeo of Seven did not expect. It lsnot the kind of compromise they have sought. Wiy it was done, and what will come of it, are the Interesting toples of the day. Early this morning Senator Platt, of New York, and Vice-Prestdent Arthur went - to- gother to the White House, The purpose ot their visit was to induco the President to withdraw all the New York nominations,— thnt of Judge Robertsonas well as those which subsequently were withdrawn., The conference Is snkd to have Iasted more than au hour, The President Is known to have informed those gentlemen that he would not for a moment consider the proposition to withdraw the name of Robertson, although he did say that he was considering the with- drawal of some of the other names men- tioned. These two gentlemen left without having -accomplished thelr purposs, They had not been in thelr seats in the Sennte an liour when the messnge came which so amazed the Scunte, and WHICHL UNDOUBTEDLY SURPRISED THE COUNTIY. The President appears to have had the matter under consideration for some days. Last mght some of his Intlmate friends sug- gested that somothing lnportant was likely soon to happen. A New Eugland® Senutor who evidently hnd been taken luto the Presi- dent's confidence sald the same thing, Nev- ertheless, to nearly all the Senate the mnes- 8ago was & dramntic surprise. Tho Senators known as Adwinlstration Senators are not agreed s to the propriety of the * action, - Some regret 1it, and soy that tho Tresident has had msh advisers; that it Is a challenge which ought not to have been given, and that it is not In the Interests of harmony, It Is undeunlable that mauy Republieans who have not been disposed to take the pnrt ot Mr, Conkling In thisfight do not approve the I'resldent’s action. They fear the consequences to party harmony, 'They say that It4s A DIRECT AFFIONT TO, SENATOR CONKLING, and one of them pronounces It an insult to tha wholo Senate, The Iatter theory, of course, I¢ maintalned under o striet construction of the ' Senatorlal prorogative. They say the whole matter was In process of amleable adjustient, and (hat the deflance of the President was need- less, and will do great harm, Others say it is the bold net which was needed to show that the Administration had & purpose, and was deterilned to declare it.

A NUMBER OF SENATORS A have called on the President this evening to urge him- to withdraw Robertson also, 50 as to avold the appearunce of an attack on Mr. Conk- ling. They learned that the action kad Cabinet approvul, and that it was for tho purpose of leaving the Robortson lssue more sharply de- fined, and that the renson of tho nation wus sucn - as to preclude a complianco with their wishes, Tho President enw the difiiculty In waking it clearly understood that he had no ldea of entering Into a personal conteat with Mr. Conkllng uny further tban thls.
