Ir is the testimory of all men who have tried it that ‘‘Myrtle Navy” tobacco has the most delicious flavor of any tobacco in the market, and that it leaves none of the un- pleasant effects in the mouth which most tobaccos do.

Gladstone Retreating-
Lonpon, April 1.
It is rumored that Gladstone has given indications of a disposition to retreat from the bolder outline of his Irish policy. The Pall Mall Gazette says: The hostile tone of the Scotch Liberal press, as well as that manifested in recent public meetings, has caused some of Gladstone’s closest friends to doubt that the Scottish members will support the Premier in any very broad scheme for Home Rule for Ireland. Parnell sees this diffi- culty plainly, and is perfectly willing to have Gladstone conform his policy to the exigencies of the situation, and modify his Irish proposals until they resch declara- tions that will suit Scottish views without alienating Irish,

WAY THE
EQUITABLE
IS THE BEST COMPANY WITH WHICH TO ASSURE.
1.—Because of its Safety.
ts surplus is larger than that of any other assurance company. II .—Because of its Promptness.
Of 1,043 death claims paid in 1885, nearly one-half were paid the very day proofs were received ; while of the remainder the major-
days, No other company ean. show such a
record,
Ili.—Because of its Liberality and Reforms.
All policies are incontestable after three years. All incontestable policies are payable immediately upon receipt of proofs of death. The Society's policy contract is clear and simple, and liberal in its conditions. Its non-forfeiting Tontine (or Semi-Tontine) policy affords all the ultimate benefits of the full Tontine, and has during its earlier years the surrender value and other material ad- vantages of ordinary life policies,
1V.—Profit.
No other company ia payiag on its policies as large profits as are shown under the Equit- able'a matured Tontine policies with fifteen- year periods. Persons desiring assurance may obtain estimates of the probable results of similar policies, and of policies with twenty-year terms, which are expected to show even larger profits.
V.—Prospective Advantages.
The unexampled progress of the Equitable in the past is the best guarantee of the in- creasing future value of assurance with the Equitable.
