DEAR Sra: -You have directed nv At
tention to the following action Of "The Ac
cidental Insurance Company Of London"
and inquire whether this Company would
take similsr action in = similar case: :"
The Accidental Insurance Company. Of
London, have refused to pay the policy Of
Mr.. Parkn Jefrcock, who met his death in
the endeavor to save thu lives OF his men 1t
the Oaks Colliery disaster, on the ground
that they did not insure against accident
voluntarily incurred
In reply, have no hesitation in saying
that ia case OF accident or death occurring
to an assured party in circumstances such
- those mentioned in the above extract.
our action would be the reverse OF the Com
pany mentioned.
Il would, 10 my opinion, be Incompatible
With the character AMI Design Of company
Of quasi> character to :nterpose
. bar to the payment Of claim the fact
that the accident or death had occurred
while the insured was engaged in rescuing
fellow being from destruction. ana thus
subserving the cause Of our common hu>
mainly Verv truly yours,
CHARLES WURrs. President.

From the New Orleans Times, Sept. 24.h.
We were yesterday reliably informed OF
case which curiously illustrates the ner :
vous susceptibility Of patients, in yellow
fever cases, even after they have passed
what 10 supposed to be the crisis Of the dis
ease. On Saturday night last Mr.. F.
was considered by his physicians - out Of
all danger. and was told that he could have
his clothes changed on Sunday morning
At q late hour IN the night gulf steamer
announced her arrival - usual by firing .
gun, and the report gave tho patient nsr-
vous shock which caused him 10 expire in
the course of five minutes. "Thst," said
be, ''is my death shock" The startling
utterance proved prophetic. lie turned over
and died forthwith.

ARAILRoAD AcoAINTANcE.-A West
ern railroad conductor tells the following
capital hit, Of which the Cincinnati
Times makes note
One day last week, said he, there
came on board the cars, from one Of the
up-country stations, a very pretty, genteel
young lady, on her way TO this city. She
was alone; SO l waited upon her to good
seat, and made her as comfortable as pos.
sible. 1t was few minutes before the
starting hour, and she was SO agreeable
and so laxative, that I fingered, aud We
had pleasant chat.
"Afterward, when collecting the tick
cts, she detained me again an instant, and
gave me some fine peaches, which she
said came from her friends orchard in
the country; and really, I began to think
that had not had so charming pas
zenger for many day.
We'll, we arrived at the depot; ana
then l attended her to the carriage, band.
ed up her carpet bag; and, after all, what
DO you think she said"
Now we though of course that the
young lady would say, very politely,
"Thank you, sir. smile like like a CLEAN
of sunshine--the carriage roll off and our
friend John Van Dusen, the gentleman
ly condutor, would bow an adieu, and
with sigh turn away and forget the mat
ter, We stated that as our natural suppo-
sition.
NO." said the conductor she did no
such thing; but just as her foot was on
the step she turned, and with a sort of
look | can't describe, observed:
You must consider this, sir, merely
car acquaintance. You must not expeet
to be recognized if we meet anywhere
else"
John drew long breath.
What did you say !? we asked.
Why, I thought this very uncivil, to
say the least, so l replied very qickly;
Certainly not, Madam, was Just 20.

except on the cars; for really we conduct.

And the LADY, said we.
She looked quite silly as she drove
off, replied John.
A keener response to an example of f.
male 'snobism' could not have been made.
