INTERESTING 70 LIFE INSURERS.

u
Avery curious question as to the liabil-
ity of insurance companies to pay the pol
icy on the life of suicide has recently
been raised in Connecticut. The insured,
it appears, had claims against four insur-
ance companies, amounting in all to forty
thousand dollars. One company, which
insures against suicide--the New York
Life Insurance Company--paid the amount
0en thousand dollars) due on the policy
without demurring. The three companies
in which the deceased was insured defend
the case against the widow on the ground
that suicide vitiates the policy. Under the
general law of life insurance we believe
that it is so regarded. 1t would seem that
the recognition of companies who make
it specially to insure mans life, even
when the death of the party shoiid occur
by suicide, might establish the fact that
companies who make no such provision
do not accept the responsibility in their
contract. This seems to be the case in
point before the court in Hartford. and as
the claim Of the widow is contested by the
joint influence of three powerful insurance
companies there is some probability that
the question Of law in the matter will be
ventilated thoroughly, and probably will
be carried to the higher conrts, SO that we
shall know definitely how the law stands
in case of party insured committing sui

Wreck of the Continental.

BY the Colorado we get the follow
| ing particulars of the loss of the Cont
mental On the night of the 9th, the
steamer Constitution slgnalled and noti-
fed the passengers off the Cape Of st.
Lucas, and on the 10th, commenced
taking the wrecked passengers-eighty,
all told--on board the steamer Colo
rado All were in very destitute con-
ditlon, none of the passengers or crew
having saved anything but what was
on their persons. The Continental left
Mazatlan on her return trip to San
Francisco on the I'd inst. On the same
night, while crossing the Gulf of Cali
fornia, she encountered scyere gale
For some time it blew perfect gale,
the wind coming from every quarter of
the compass. The ship labored heavily
in the heavy chopping sels. Several
leaks were sprung, and for d time the
steam pumps kept the leakage under,
but the coal boxes parted, letting the
coal loose, which, getting into the
pumps, cfieetually closed them The
passengers and crew commenced balins
aud throwing the cargo of salt Gall of
which was IN bulk and hides, &c
into the sea, They worked inccssantk
for twelve hours, but were unable 10
keep the water from rising To the hold
Until the fires were extinguishy d,
strong hopes were entertained of saving
the vessel. The scene was then said To
have been one of the widest excite
ment. Some of the passengers threw
their gold into the ocean, and, in des>
pair, cried to Heaven 'or aid. Very
few ladies were among the passengers
Life preservers were used. with which
they jumped into the small boats.
Orders were given to take to the
boats during the night of the 18th, and
they remained in close proximity to
the steamer until Q o'clock a IN. of the
30th, when they left her to her fate.
1t is supposed that she went down on
the night of the Both, as on the morn
ing OF Oct. lst, no signs Of the vessel
were discernable.
OF the six bats, only three Of them
landed at ST. Lucas. The others were
driven up the coass. two of'thc forty
three miles north of the Cape, from
whence they had to make their way
over the burning sands, withou. drop
of water, to Cape st, Lucas, at which
place slaughtered cattle and other kinds
of provisions were issued with liberal
hand
B.4nc is attached to Capt. Dali for
deserving the ship during the night.
The carpenter makes the assertion
that the timbers of the snip were rotten
aud unsafe, and that she was liable at
any moment to go to pieces.

The negro soldiers of Cincinatti are
so Jealous of each other that the officers
have totally failed in their efforts at
discipline. The Major was honored
with nomination as director of the
County Infrmary, short time since
a circumstance which caused so much
envy among the rank and file that a
meeting was held and resolutions passed
breaking up the organization and call
ing upon him to resign his commission.
The major declines TO be bullied, and
declares that tsthc Constitution must
and shall be preserved" 1t is now de-
eided that the disorderly element shall
be expelled and discipline enforced.
even though it should be at tee expense
of losing everv man in the battalion.

The Tribune publishes the following
dispatch, in reference to>the land known
as the Puget Sound Agricultural Com
pany's lands, and says tits informed that
it relates exclusively to those lands in
Pierce county. We judge this to be an
error as the same kinds of lands in
Lewis county, ii we understand the
matter correctly, are exactly in the
same situation as those OF Pierce, and
we do not believe the Land Commis-
sioner has made any distinction We
hope, however, Mr.. GarfieIde's letter
will explain matters fully. The con
dition Of douation claims in those coun>
tries is the principle matter that inter-
ests the settlers on these lands, as ac-
cording TO all jnstico they are entitled
to their donation claims. There has
scarcely been doubt that presumption
claims would be protected:

Giants OfOiden Times.

In one of his recent lectures, Profss.
sor Silliman, the younger, alluded to
the discovery of the skeleton of an enor-
mous lizard of eighty feet. The Profes-
sor inferred, as no living specimen of
such magnitude has been found, that
the species which it represents has dege-
nera'ed. The verify of his position he
rather singularly endeavored to enforce
by an allusion to the we'll known exis-
tence of giants in olden times. The fol-
lowing list is the data upon which this
singular hypothesis is based
The giant exhibited a. Rouen in 1890,
the Professor says, measured nearly
eighteen feet.
Gorapius saw girl that was ten feet
high.
The giant Galabra, brought from
Arabia to Rome, under Claudius Cesar,
was ten feet high.
Faunum, who lived in the time of Eu-
gene H., measured eleven ami half
feet.
The Chevalier scrog, in his voyage
to the Peak Teneriffe, found in one of
his caverns of that mountain the head
of the Guuich, who had sixty teeth,
and was not less than fifteen feet high.
The giant Far"agus, slain by Orlando,
nephew of Charlemayne. was twenty
eli ght feet high.
In 1910, near Rouen, was found a
skeleton whose skull held bushel of
corn, and who was nineteen feet high.
The giant Bacart was thirty-two feet
high; his thigh bones were found in
1903. near the River Moderi.
In 1928, near the castle in Dauphine,
a tonlb,was found thirty feet long six
teen wide, and eight high, on which
was cut in gray stone these words, "Keu-
tolochus Rex" The skeleton was found
entire, twenty-five and fourth feet
long, ten feet across the shoulders, and
five feet from the breast bone to the
back. ..-. Il
:. Near Palmero, in Sicily. in 1916, was
found the skeleton of giant thirty feet
high, and in 1859 another forty -four feet
high. '.-..'1.' y. i ..'f
Near Mazrino, in Sicily, in 1916, was
the skeleton of giant thirty feet high.
The head was the size of hogshead,
and each of his teeth weighed five oun-
cts. " '" .s
We have no doubt that there were
"giauts in those days" and the past
perhaps Was more prolific in producing
them than the present. But the history
of giants during the olden time was not
more remarkable than that Of dwarfs,
several of whom were even smaller than
the Thumbs and Nuts of our own time.
