Curious Insurance Schemes.


The nineteenth century has been pro-
nounced an age pre-eminently speculative,
but if we mean by speculation class of
visionary schemes built by enthusiasm upon
airy hopes resulting in nothing real but dis
appointment, the last century better deserves
the name of speculative than the present
one. The nineteenth century has nothing
to show like the famous Mississippi scheme,
and the South Sea bubble, which are too
well known to need more than this mere
reference; nor can it exhibit any such wild
schemes, receiving so much of public atten-
ton, as the many curious gambling projects.
which attended the first establishment of
life assurance offices. According to wri-
ter in the Edinburgh ReUiep, a perfect mania
prevailed in London, at the beginning of the
past century, on the subject of life assurance.
Almost every street abounded with insu-
rance offices, where policies might be OBJ
tanned for short periods on infants three
months old, or every age above that and on
every description of persons. The agents,
or runners, of these prolific institutions
were SO plentiful and pertinacious as to prove
a public pest and excite the ire of cotempo-
rary satirists. But the people themselves
were infected "Every conceivable kind Of
speculation" says the writer above referred
to, "was carried on under the title of In
surance Wagers. Some of these establish.
ments wagered ESQ against e1OO that King
William the Third (who was then carrying
on war with France) would not reduce the
city of Namur before given date; others
wagered on the period of favor to be en-
joyed by the mistress Of some former poten-
tate; and wagers were actually laid on the
sex of the notorious Chevalier D Eon, as to
whether he was a male, as he pretended to be,
or female, as he was reputed to be. A
common stake at hazard was the duration of
| the lives of persons believed to be upon their
death-beds; nor was the author of Every
Man his own Brother very far wrong when
| he declared, that the decease of persons was
hastened when they saw themselves insured
| in the public papers at 80 per cent" Poll
| eies were openly offered on the lives of pub
lie characters, upon the life of even royalty
itself; upon various political contingencies;
upon Jno. Wilkes remaining in prison one
year, and upon two of the first peers id
| Britain losing their heads There were
schemes also for insuring against houses,
breakers and highwaymen against lying,or
death by drinking gin for dealing in hops
for flying machine, for insuring Of houses,
&c. Large sums were paid by the under
writer's at Lloyd's, who speculated upon the
| failure of young man who had undertaken
for wager to go to Lapland, and bring back
within a given time two reindeer and two
Lapland females-and he brought them all.
But the climax of impudence was reached
during the era of the South Sea Bubble, by
scheme in Change Alley for the insurance
Of female chastity, and by another against

Spring-Time Moonlight.

Spring Time Moonlight.
There's a charm in the spring-time moonlight
In fairy land like ours,
Where the evening breezes come laden
With the breath of countless flowers.
The tropical heat of the daylight
Departs with the sun at eve,
And our languid beings portion
OF the grateful dews receive f
Deep is the sky above Us,
Brightly few stars shine
Soft in the hazy distance
The mountains graceful lihe. i"e
The orchard-oaks that offered
Their shade the burning day,
Now dimly show, yet lovely,
Beneath the sprng-moons ray.
There's charm in the spring-tme moonlight
When nightly voices are heard,
When the blended chirping of crickets
Succeeds the song of the bird.
The grass-loving streamlets that wander
Through blossoms of golden dye
Now break their rnelodious rfppling
Through the noisy peppers cry.
ir Cool is the air that fansu us,
Pleasant the sounds we hear -I
Musical IN their union
They fall upon the ear.
The teeming earth that laviShed
It's blossoms on the day,
Is humid now and silvcry, n
Beneath the springmooh's ray.
There's charm n the spring-tifne moonlight
That the soul delighted feels, st. Sit
When the loyeliness all around her
To her purity appeals
Listen now to the plaintive wailing
That comes from the forests shade,
Where the naked Indians are circling efT
Their camp fire in the glade =
How sad Is that lonely motel
All other sounds mute,
As if they We're hushed by the spell
OF that simple Indian flute. sr E
Now it walls like woman's voice,
All eloquent of woe;-.
Oh why should thing thus slight
Disturb the spirit so
There's charm in the spring-time moonlight
That is felt without our Will;
That says to all baser emotions
Which stir us-'peace, be still"
The soul is sdblimed to feeling
OF love for the good alone,
Exalted to thoughts and desires
At other seasons unknown. e.
All that the moonlight falls on,
All sounds the receive,
Ope the soul like blossom
That opens only at eve.-
But now tits quiet wholly,
5- The camp fire, quenched in night, ..
Disturbs the rain no longer
OF the mellow spring moonlight. ---------.--

A Decided Failure.

Yesterday afternoon, Mt o'clock, Mons.
De Lave undertook to perform his promised
feat Of carrying man across the Genessee
River He walked first from Falls Field to
the roof of the saw mill, and after an inter-
val of half an hour, during which time he
went round passing his hat among the free
spectators on the railroad bridge, he made
preparations to return The individual who
had consented to imperl his life in this fool
ish adventure, was one Robert Smith, who
resides at Carthage lie has been sailor.
His reported weight is al pounds.
DeI.ave had sort of cushion strapped
about his loins, and Smith mounted his back
in such a manner that the cushion aided in
supporting him. His arms were clasped
around behaves neck. After proceeding
short distance, DeLave began to fail, evident
Nv, and grew mcmentarily more unsteady
on bis legs, until he reached a point few
feet from the brink of the falls, where he lost
his balance and fell, carrying Smith with
him, Of course For a moment every cheek
among the spectators was blanched with
dread. but fortunately both the adventurers
caught. DeLave on the rope, and Smith on
guv, and also by one of DeLave's legs DeLave
then assisted Smith on the rope, and both
worked their way by shining back to the
saw-mill. Smith clambcrcd boldly on the
roof but DeLave modestiy avoided the CON
CALCULATIONS of his friends by crawling into
a window. We forgot to say that his pole
was los, at the time Of the mshap, and may
be in Lake Ontario by this time
Thus luckily ended Is rash adventure, and
we hope no attempt will be made to repeat
it. DeLave says, nevertheless, that he will
90 across with Il man on his back next Mon
dav, and it is said that Smith is willing to be
the rider. To-day, DeIaye has announced
himself 10 cross in wooden shoes, and return
with peach baskets on his feet.-Rochester

Troublee Of an American Lady.

Ralph Easel, the Paris correspondent of the
n. Y. Express, says:
a few days ago robbery Of considerable
importance occurred at the Hotel de PEu-
rope, at llavre, the victim being Mrs. Wright,
Of New York, who was passenger on the
Vanderbilt on her last trip to this side of the
Atlantic. Previously to leaving New York,
Mrs. Wright had engaged colored female
servant to accompany her, to take charge of
her two children; but at the last moment the
darkey's heart failed her, and she found it
impossible to leayea country endeared to her
by many reasons, the principal of which were
that, on its cherished shores, sea-sickness Is
unknown, and MeSsieurs. Garrison, Phillips
4 Co., are fixtures, as well as ornaments
Mrs. Wright was consequently obliged to
employ a substitute, who happened TO be a
young widow, rejoicing in the cognomen of
Schaiier. During the voyage, Mrs. Schaffer
manifested u very commendable degree of anx-
iety touching the safety of a box belonging to
Mrs W., containing a hundred gold dollars,
intended rs present to relative in Europe,
and about fifty twenty franc pieces. At the
hotel i'll Havrc, the new servant persuaded
her mistress that she would do well to con-
fde the money-box to her charge. which sug-
geston Mrs. Wright adopted; but having oc-
casion the next morning to visit her treas
ure, the unfortunate lady found that the gold
dollars and Napoleons had Disappeared
The police being sent for, the femme de
chanbre was at once Intercepted, aud gave
it as her decided opinion that the theft had
been committed by another passenger in the
Vanderbilt, staying ut the same hotel. Blu.
the Ilavre police was no. to be humbugged
so easily: and diligent search being made, it
was discovered that the widow had herself
opened the casket and concealed its precious
contents in place which | don't care To
name. Further prevarication being useless,
the widow Schatfer owned her fault, and was
forthwith marched off to prison"

The Balloon Mania.

The theory has been recently started in
this country in regard to the existence of re-
gular atmospheric currents, always moving
in the same directions, at different degrees
Of elevation: and it has been suggested that,
taking advantage Of these currents, long voy-
ages may be made with balloons from one
country to another. This, however, remains
TO be proved.
1t was to test this theory that the balloon
Atlantic was built, in which Messrs Wise
and La Mountain made their famous trip of
twelve hundred miles from st. Louis to Lake
Ontario last summer, and in which the last
named gentleman assembled from Watertown
last week, on that voyage among the clouds
which, it is much to be feared, has added his
name to the list of aeronauts whose fate has
been tragical That St. Louis trip created
the greatest excitement and has brought
forth an immense crop Of balloonists. Mr..
Lowe is building a monster aerial ship over
in Hoboken, with which he proposes to cross
the Atlantic. Mr. Wise is giving series of
ascensons at Hamilton park, with view Of
creating an interest in the matter and getting
capitalists to engage in an enterprise similar
to Mr.. loves La Mountain had resolved
I'd lead the way across the ocean, and as there
was none more daring than he, the expert
ment would certainly have been made with
in very brief period, if he had returned safe
ly from his last trip.
In the meantime, balloon ascensions have
grown to be Of daily occurrence and many
who have had no experience whatever are
rushing madly into the business. AS ne
cessary consequence We must expect to read
of many deplorable casualties. In yester-
days Herald we had accounts of two ascen-
sions which were attended with great risk to
the aeronauts. In the one case the balloon
exploded; but in descending to the earth it
acted parachute, breaking the force of
the fall. In the other, the balloon was torn
by coming in contact with trees, and those in
the car narrowly escaped with their lives. The
business is just now in danger of being emit
rely overdone, and thus confidence in the f.
nal success Of aerial navigation, instead of
being increased, is being much diminished.
