—ARGYLL— TO HIS TRUSTY RETAINER GREETING. THE Knights of Labor, the Kings of Commerce, and the public at large, who are in search of an amiable abode, good cheer and joviality, are hereby directed to the Argyll demesue, where they will find the gates and portals of the family mansion ajar, and an ever-hearty welcome to the weary wayfarer, irrespective of clan, country, religion, or color. His Grace the Duke of Argyll holds a levee every morning, and is pleased in granting audience to have presentations made at the same time, receiving tribute, distributing largesse, and causing the wassail bowl to revolute on its axis. Gentlemen from the primeval fastnesses of the impenetrable bush are expected to appear clad in Court costume, claw hammers, and white chokers, bearing the arms of their guild, namely, a golden grindstone, supported by silver axes on a purple field of supple-jack, with the motto, " Whilst I live r whack." Huntaways returning in cheque suite (provided the cheque is a large one and a good negotiable pattern) shall be considered en regie. Whippers-in and body-snatchera coming provided, on presentation with the Rex pecuniarum in fisto, shall be cheerfully taken in, and comfortably dossed. One long and special refreshment, together with nine Jubilee shillings and a tanner, given for every" second-hand half-sovereign produced at the bar of the house. Given under our hand, and sealed with our big thumb, this 24th July, 1891 i||k JAMES FINLAY, CISSpP Fifth Duke of Argyll. GOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANCE ** DEPARTMENT. ESTABLISHED 1870. Every Policy Guaranteed by the State. LOW PREMIUMS. LARGE BONUSES. The first policy issued, No. 1 for £300, is still in existence, and has bad three bonuses allotted to it, viz. :— In 1880, £38 or £ 1 2s. per cent per annum In 1885, £18 „£1 4s. „ „ „ „ In 1890, £27 „£1 16s. „ „ „ „ The above is an actual case, and shows that the rate of bonus increased at each division. The premiums in force at the time this policy was issued were not calculated to yield any bonuses, and the higher rates now charged should therefore give still more satisfactory reault*. JOSEPHUS H.
