ISLANDER CAsE-The Licking County
Court was occupied all Monday and Tues
day, and until eleven o'clock on Wednes.
day, in the trial of q SANDER case in hich
Samuel Stone, Sr, was plaintiff, and q
certain Turner, defendant. This was the
second trial Of the same case, and like
the first resulted in favor Of the plaintiff.
Turner had called Stone, thief and
damned traiter to his country" Tur-
ner's counsel objected 10 punish him for
making the latter charge because it had
been made in exciting times and was a
senseless epihet, which showed madness
rather than malice on the part Of men
who nsed it. Besides this it was argued
that Turner was brawling fellow whose
tongue was not likely to do any serious
damages. Some of the jury gave heed to
these arguments and were disposed 10
allow nothing more than nominal DANA
ges. But after maturer consideration, the
whole jury came to the conclusion that
although Stones character had received
no harm, Turner deserved rebuke. They,
therefore returned verdict Of $500 dam
ages. This, added to the heavy bill Of
costs which two trials have created, will
admonish Turner Of the need of creator
moderation in the use Of bad tongue

The Public Debt Of the United
States,

THERE was never such fraud as
the public debt Of the United States.
Nominally amounting TO $4,000, 900,
600, it never cost its holders over
half this amount in coin. In the
mean time, they have realized in
interest and in exemption from tax
alton a sum much greater than that
which was originally loaned. We
never promised to pay it in gold.
The Committee of Ways and Means,
in the House Of Representatives,
more than once voted down the
proposition, The interest agreed
to be given in gold, but the princi-
pal was excepted. The ten-forties,
one-tenth of the whole bonds, were
promised in coin, and wore admit
ted as the only bonds that were
payable in that currency. Hard as
were our financial resources, none
supposed that for the money we
borrowed We were to give two dol
lars or two dollars and half for one.
In their interest the English con-
soils and the French and German
securities are q or 3 per cent.
hardly half Of that which is given
by the American States.
But this is not all, Not one-half
of the amount given by the bond
holders, small as it was, was ever
realized by the Government. Full
one-half of that amount was stolen
in intranSitu by the contractors,
who. to a large extent, were the
purchasers and the holders of the
bonds.
If the bonds are repudiated and
never paid-if the holders never
get a cent of the principal-they
will still have realized far more
than they ever gave or deserved.

"No Insurance. III at the end OF q
newspaper report Of fire, we read tho
words, "No Insurance." our involuntary
feeling is that the owner had neglected
to pro lect his own interests. and is there-
fore entitled 10 80 much the less sympathy
for his loss. In such case, however, the
man himself remains to restore, by dill
gsnce and economy, tho property Destroy
ed. How much more clearly is II his bu-
siness and domestic duty 10 make such
provision that, wheh he dies, the OminOus
words, 'No Insurance." may not be re-
peated, as expressive Of future want and
suffering for those whom he has left be-
hind. 80 small is the outlay required,
and so extended the time Of payment, in
order to make sure Of support for the
widow or the children, that no man is ex-
cdsable for neglecting to insure his own
life. This is brought especially to mind,
at this time, by paragraph in an ex'
change, showing what may be done by
persons Of the smallest surplcss means.-
In December last, q poor clergyman in
Bradford Co., Pennsylvania, paid SCOOPS
to the National Life Insurance Company
for q policy Of $4,000. We can we'll sup.
pose that one hundred dollars, to ooun-
try clergyman, was a large sum, raised
with difficulty, and we can imagine how
easily it might have been spent for nec-
essaries for the winter season, but the re-
suit proved that its investment In insur-
auce was the most profitable Of his life.
In March he died. and on The 6rst Of
April the agent Of the National Life paid
to his family the $1,000, this being the
only provision which the deceased had
been able to make for them. Another case
in the history of the same Company is
noted. A labOring man in franklin, Pa,
insured for $1,000 and in six weeks
thereafter he died, and the money was
paid to his family.
This Company, National Life, char
tered by Congress aud authorized to
transact insura nee business throughout
the United States and Canada,--is estab.
lished upon the Stock Plan, having low
rates for cash payment, and avoiding all
uncertainties Of notes or dividends, and
all consequent or possible disappointment
as to the amount Of money to be paid 20
the heirs of the deceased. For a certain
fixed sum of money, ii guartees the pay
ment Of fixed amount Of insurance. The
simplicity of tho system has commended
the Company to popular favor and its
success has been remarkable. Upon the
first Of May, only nine months it's organ
isation, it had issued Eve thousand poll
cies, and had its agents we'll at work
through the North and upon tie Pacific
Coast, and by the expiration Of ts first
year, the entire Southern States aud the
Csnadian Dominion will also be supplied
with local agents.
The agent of the National Life for this
vicinity has his advertisement in another
column, and will be glad to furnish any
desired information concerning the work
ing Of this National Company.

USEFUL, Practical HINTS about the ev-
cry day outdoor and indoor work, are
always Of great value. A single hint
often saves valuable animal, or chan
ges ones method of performing partic-
ular kind Of work 30 as to greatly lessen
its Idrudgery. A farmer was troubled
with smut in wheat. A single line in his
newspaper told him to "wet the seod with
tar water and roll it in lime" Acting
on this hint FIR part Of hts crop, gave
him an increase Of over FIVE bushels per
acre Of fine wheat, worth hundred dol
lars on twenty acres, aud many hundreds
Of dollarsin after years. The knowledge,
extended 10 his neighbors, resulted in
thousands Of dollars Of net profit. simi-
lar illustrations are continually occurring g
in all departments Of life. Indeed, prog
ress and profit come from an accumula-
ion Of these hints, The above train of
thought is suggested by looking through
the american Agriculturist for June 1st, an
anvance copy of whicn has just como to
hand. Its pages are crowded with useful
hints and suggestions, told in plain
language, by practical, observing men,
and in a multitude Of instances illustra-
ted with engravings that speak directly
to the eye and the mind, more effectually
than words can do. We doubt if there
be family in tho country, or in o
village OF city, for that matter, that
would not find this journal tenfold more
valuable than its COST $3.50 year We
notice that the publishers offer beau
tiful "ASNUAL" free to every subscriber
