Judge Jeflords is said by all who

The Great New York Fine in 1885.

We clip from the columns of the
Philadelphia Cnder1critn', an inter
esting incident in the earlier expert
enceS of the 1Etna Insurance Com
pany, of Hartford, Conn, showing
tire value, as well as the reward
which attaches to a faithful fulfill
ment of obligations, at a time when
nerve was requisite, and individual
sacrifice probable.
After the great fire of 1885. the
" -Etna," of Hartford, now the
largest, strongest, and most success
full Fire Ins urance Companyin Amer
lea, received notice of their losses,
and the President called meeting
of the Board of Directors, and i'll d
few words told them they had lost,
probably, all their capital. After a
few moments silence, in which tie
President brought from the fire
proof vault all the stocks and bonds
representing their capital, and placed
them before them, when one Of the
Board asked him what he should do,
g Do ~ said the President, eco to
New York and pay the losses, if it
takes every dollar there pointing
to the package, land my own for
tune besides"
The anxious looks gave way 10
those of settled determination, and
the Board unanimously said: "Good!
and we will stand by you with all
our individual capital"
The PreSident went to New York,
adjusted the losses, and i'll a years
time the company, so bold to act and
ready to fulfill all its obligations,
had their capital more than returned
by premiums, and a better reputa-
ton than any company i'll the United
States.

LEA correspondent OF the New
York Hcraid, writing from Washing
ton city, on the nth inst, says ::
Secretary Fish spent some time at
the White House to-day in consulta.
ii, n with the President over the in
structionS Of Minister Motley. The
question as to whether NJ. Motley
should have written instructions, or
whether he would be sent out with
sort of general understanding to
do rs he pleased, is ut last settled.
The Secretary of State read the in
StruciOns carefully to the President,
and received his assent to them prior
to their being sent to Mr. Motley at
New York. What the precise ma
turc OF them is, cannot be made pub
lie. That part of them which relates
to the Alabama claims is understood
to be founded, substantially, on the
speech of Senator Sumner so far rs
material indemnity is concerned.
Mr.. Fish does not agree with
/ the sentiments of Mr. Sumner with
rpgnrd 10 q demand upon Gre #
Britain for a national apology in adj
dition to payment in full ior damages
to our commerce. He considers this
would I've treated by Great Britain

of going so far rs MI. Sun ucr in
other matters connected with the
Alabama claims, but the President
was OF the opinion that the people
demanded Il firm policy towards
Great Britain on this question, and,
therefore, oycrrulcd the Secretary.

How BRAVE FELLOW Cor THE SMALL
Pox-The Reese River Reyeille of Friday
last tells the following:
About o'clock last evening a man
named Henry Morris arrived in this city
from the Grubb's Wells station suffering
from the smallpox, and was taken to the
hospital. Mr.. Morris was the operator at
Grubb's Wells, and he received the disease
from the stage driver Overlook, whose death
on the 2ith instant we mentioned Yesterday
1t appears that Overlook was one of the
drivers on Wines & Co.'S stage line, and that
after he was deserted By every one around
the station excepting Morris, who took ten
der care of the sick man I'D to the hour of
his death. He is now suffering for this act
Of herOism, but every generous man and
woman who hears of his brave and tender
conduct towards a fellow creature, whose
sickness was malignant and contagious, will
sympathize deeply with him. We are happy
in being able to state that Morris symptoms
indicate 4 mild form Of smallpox. Every
one will unite with us in the hope that the
brave gentleman, Henry Morris, may speed
ily recover his wonted health.
