A GooD SUGGESTION. We are glad
10 notice in many of the leading Jour
nails of the country the suggestion
that the ceremony of decorating the
graves nf the daad who cali =. +hs lot.
war be discontinued in the future. OF
course all will appreciate and applaud
the motives that actuate and inspire
these annual floral offerings. They
are the true poetry of affection. But
we doubt If the memory Of the dead
would not be much more appropriately
reverenced by substituting a Contri-
button Day for a Decoration Day,
Let there be one day in the year set
apart, North and South, for the col
lection of a fund for the care of the
widows and orphans of tho fallen
heroes, whose wants cannot be sup
piled by such ceremonies as those OF
May 30lh. If Che dead of the two seq
tions could speak, we believe they
would urge the change There cannot
have been less than several hundred
thousand dollars expended through
ont the country, in decorating the
soldiers graves. This sum would
provide for great many whom the
war has left without a husband or
father. Paid annually, it would sus.
tain splendid institution for their
support ond education. Erie Observer.

LIFE INSURANCE.
A GhostIy Law Suit in San Francis

A curious insurance case has been tried in
San Francisco. The North American Life In
surance Company declines to pay the amount OF
policy due the widow of Charles Geggus. 1t
appeared by the evidence that Geggus left San
Francisco upon the 22d of August, 1868, in
state of mental and bodily prOstration bordering
upon, if not actually within the region of, abso-
Lutte insanity. On the Sd of September follow
ing his remains, in an advanced stage of decom-
position were found in the mountains of San
Joaquin county. The policy of insurance
expired on the 27th of August 1S6S-just one
week before his remains were found. Hence
arose the Defense the company denying that
when found he had been dead seven days, and
upon that point they went to trial. For the
plaintiff a certificate was produced signed by
Justice of the Peace, declaring that he had held
an investigation touching the death of Charles
Geggus upon the occasion of his remains being
discovered on the Sd of September, 1868, and
that he found that the said Charles Geggus died
from exhaustion and exposure, and had been
dead at least ten days when found. Six doctors
testified that from the condition of Geggus when
last seen, August 23-he not having then eaten
anything for over two days-he must have died
within a period ranging from twelve to forty
eight hours thereafter, thus fixing his death at a
time at least two prior to the expiring of the
policy. Upon this evidence the plaintiffs case
rested. In answer, the company sought to show
that the body had not been dead week when
found, and for this purpose called five doctors
as medical experts Two of them testified that
having heard description of the state Geggus
was in when last seen, they agreed that he
must have died within the period mentioned by
the plaintiff. The three Others thought that the
state of decompostion described was not that of
a body that had been dead seven days. They
admitted, however, that the peculiar rarity of
theIatmosphere in which the body was said to be
found might arrest decomposition. The jury
retired and in few minutes returned with the
following verdict, viz.:-We, the jury, find that
the late Charles Geggus died previous to the
9th day of August, 1868, and, therefore, find
for the plaintiff, Elizabeth Geggus, in the sum
of $9776'7S, with interest," $437'97; total,
