An INSURANCE. INCIDENT-The San Fran

honesty under temptations: "a clergyman in
Pealuma, named James Hunter, insured his

where. few months since, he died. The nee
essary steps We're taken 10 adjust the matter
ana pay the policy to his widow, but when the
amount was rendered her she declined to re-

husband insured his life, he withheld from the
ageBts OF the Company and the examining
physician, information of a malady under
which he was suffering, and which would
probably have prevented him from securing a
policy on his life. The Company at San Fran

Too Good to be Lost.

One of the Justices Of the County
Court happening at a public sale IL
franklin county, presuming his iurisdic-
ton co-extensive with the county, or.
dered an old man who was rather bois.
ferrous, to be quiet. As if in defiance
of the aforesaid Justices authority, the
old man was needless of the order. The
Justice thcreupon faed the old man
seventy-fve cents for contempt. The
old man feeling himself aggrieved, pro-
ceeded to the law Office of Jeffries &
Grow, and stated the fact that he had
been fined seventy-fve cents by the JUS
tice.
"For what were you hned?' inquired
the said Attorney.
For nothing" was the response.
ooh but the Justice must have had
some cause for his action what did he
say you we're guilty of?''
Well, said the old man, "he said I
trcspasssd on his animosjty. D-n his
animosity, ard I took a repeal, and
want you to putt through if it goes to
the Supreme Court"
This actually occurred.

The hint was enough. The Sucker or
the instant siezed the bottle, and wrench
ing out cork, swallowed half the con-
tents at a draught.
He fairly squealed from its effects and
gasped and blowed and twitched and
twisted as if it were coursing through
him with electric effect, while at the
same time his eyes ran a stream of tears.
At length becoming a little composed,
his waggish adviser approached him al
most bursting with suppressed laughter,
and asked him:
How are you now, old fellow? Did
you kill it?"
"WelI I did, hoss! Ugh-ugh-oh

countenance made up Of suppressed
agony and present determination, he
paused to give force to his words and
slowly and deliberately remarked:

Auecd0te Of an Actor.

SIMPSON, the actor, would never take
any medicine, and his medical man was
often obliged to resort to some stratagem
to impose upon him. There is a play in
which the hero is sentenced, in prison,
to drink a cup of poison. Harry Simp-
son was playing this character, one
night, and had given directions to have
the cup filed with port wine but what
was his horror, when be came to drink
it, to find it contained dose of seuna !
He could not throw it away, as be had
to hold the goblet upside down, to show
his prosecutors he had drained every
drop of it. Simpson drank the medicine
with the slowness Of a poisoned martyr,
but he never forgave his medical man, as
was proved at his death, for he died with
out paying his bill.
