CONFEDERATE MONEY AGAIN N CoURT.-Tn
The Fourth District Court the validity Of Con
federate money, as consideration, has again
been brought into question. The case was
that Of s. C1ser VS.. Nugent IS 90. and VIM. Fl.
Dunbar. The suit was on draft Of Dunbar,
accepted BY Nugent & co. in 1851. The de-
Tense was that no consideration was given for
the draft, Is the money, for which it was
given, was Confederate money. Judge Theard
gave Judgment for plaintiffs upon the grounds:
1st. That it was in evidence that, as consider
alton for this draft, no Confederate money was
paid, but that 0ser gave his check which was
deposited in bank, to the credit of Nugent &
Co, who used it in the usual course Of bust
ness. I'd. That, if the check had been paid
IL Confederate money, which was then cur
rent, defendant could not now come into
court and tender any paper Of that descrip-
lion, which they might purchase for trifs
In accordance with the decision Of the SUI
peeme court Of the State in the Emerson case,
they must produce the identical Confederate
notes which they received. AS far as Dunbar
Is concerned. the Judge cursorily remarked
that the drawer, as is well known, cannot
plead want Of consideration against third
party holding 4 note il good faith.

Make the Most of Yourself.

Some time ago was travelling in the cars,
and soon after | took my seat lady en-
tered accompanied by young lad appar-
emily ten or twelve years old. The cars
were not then crowded, and didn't think
it at all strange when she turned over seat
and gave it to her son, and took the opposite
one facing him herself
Plenty of room is always very desirable,
and to take it, not at all selfish, unless, as
often happens, the world we live in gets
crowded so / looked at the lady without
any wish to criticise Or find fault.
But pretty soon the car began to fill up.
Men came in looking about anxiously for
ladies, and one pale, and sick looking man
had to stand up until I offered my seat. /
looked at this woman and her son in perfect
astonishment. She'll surely take up her
satchel, I thought, and tell her son to take
seat by her side, and make room for two
on his seat, but there sat the woman as
quietly as if every body were comfortably
seated, and there lay her satchel by her
side, there on the opposite seat sat "sonny,"
with 20 thought of being disturbed.
expected every minute to see the mother
give up one of the seats, and, to my perfect
surprise, heard her at last say
q sStretch out and make the most Of yourself,
sonny or you'll have to divide your seat
with that old woman"
looked up and saw the conductor cast
I-ing his eyes about to find a seat for an old
lady he had brought into the cars.
should have given her my seat without
any delay, but | was curious to see what
the mother and son would do. That the
boy would finally resign his seat, supposed
as a matter of course, but | was quickly
convinced that nothing was further from his
intention, for he stretched out and made the
most Of himself, according to direction.
The conductor at last spied him, and TAX
ing him by the arm, as if to raise him up,
said, ''Well, young man, | must disturb
your nap"
Then turning to the mother, he said,
" Madam, will you please take up your
satchel and give this boy seat by you? |
want to turn over this seat and give it to
! this lady"
The boy resigned his seat, but evidently
was very much out of humor. 81 was all
/ fixed, and you might have left me alone, !"
! he said in an undertone.
! 81 saw you were all fixed" replied the
! conductor with a smile, g but found 1t ne
cessary to disturb you.-You ought to have
/ known better than to take whole seat
when the cars are full. shall know you
the next time see you, young man."
Nothing more was said. The mother was
too indignant to speak, and the boy had
said all he dared to say.
l left the cars, thinking, with the con-
ductor, that l should know the boy the next
1 time I saw him. A
1t was a sad picture of selfshness, and it
panied as well as Disguised me. There was
q boy beginning his life by acting out selfish
l ness, and seeking his own comfort, to the
great discomfort Of others Presbyterian

THE PIONEER COMPANY.

The Travellers Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn.,
was the first to successfully introduce the practice of
accident insurance in this country Its founder was
james G. PATTERSON, Esq, of Hartford, Conn., who has
witnessed the workings of accident insurance in Eng
land. A charter was obtained from the Connecticut
Legislature of 1862 contemplating only the nsuring
of railway passengers and other travellers. In the
spring of '64, an amendment to the charter OBJ
tained authorizing insurance against accidents OF all
kinds and the company issued it's first policy April
/, 1864.

WEEKLY COMPENSATION.

An important consideration, which commends acct
dent insurance to public favor is its system of weekly
compensation. Under ordinary life policy the per-
son whose life is insured can reap any personal
benefit from the assured; it goes to his family
heirs after his death. But any person insured in the
