Years morning. Lord Robert BERTHE drank
to him "a happy New Year," he clapped his
hand strangely to his eyes, In the morning
he sent for a lawyer and three witnesses, ex-

discourse he may be said to have ''dealt" out
an exposition of the precepts of Christianity
according to the terms of card-playing: "Now
ye have heard what is meant by this first
card, and how you ought to
play with it. 1 purpose again
to deal unto you another card almost
of the same suit for they be of so nigh
affinity that one cannot be played without
the other" etc. ''It seems, says Fuller,
'that he suited his sermon rather to the time

much used-than to the text, which was the
Baptist's question to our Lord:-'Who art

Nice Point in Life Insurance,

We copy this from Northern exchange:

for $4,000 in the Mutual Benefit Life ln>lir-
ance office of New York. In February.
1864, while a soldier in the Federal army at
Baton Rouge, he attempted, without legal
process, to take possession of horses belong
ing to a Mr.. Cox for an alleged debt. The
owners son. who drove the horses, shot
him. The policy provided that it was void
if the insured should die i'll the known
violation Of any law and on this ground
the company refused to pay the money. and
suit was instituted, which was tried in 1866.
The court dismissed the complaint An.ap-
Zeal which was taken was argued on Friday
in the Supreme Court OF New York, general
term. 1t was contended that the violation
of any law in the clause of the policy must
be considered to mean a criminal offense,
and that in order to void the policy, must
be the prOximate cause OF the death. and
that there was nothing in what Cluff did
which was the proXimate or direct cause of
his death; that in order to bring the death
within the clause in the policy, there must
be a justitiable cause for the kiling-tlle
prevention or punishment OF crime. The

How a Filtration Ended-One Dollar Per
Day for a Street Corner.

From the Troy New York; Times
On Wednesday a romantic-looking indi-
vidual OF the male persuasion, made himself
prominent by standing on the northwest
corner of Congress and Second streets, and
making attempts to engage III a Irritation
with some Of the yOun" ladies attending the
Female Seminary. He was got up regard
less of expense, and his beauty was height
ened by an incipient moustache. and by his
his hair being parted in the middle. He re
NAMED Oh the corner tor about five hours.
and then, with seeming chagrin at his i'll
success, retired. Next day he took the same
position, and went through the same per-
fOrmance, to the great amusement of the
lawyers who occupy the building on the
corner. His success was no more marked
than it had been the day previous, but he
was fellow of infinite perseverance it
seems, and yesterday he again attempted
to secure the notice if not the souls, OF the
young ladies'.
The lawyers, who before had laughed at
the silly fellow, now became disguised with
his doings, and they determined to get rid
of him. A bill. reading something like this:
"E. l.. c., Dr., To use Of corner for Irritation
for three days, at 81 per day, 50" was made
out, and a clerk deputized to collect it. Pay
ment was refused, and, i'll a very chOleric
state, "Mr. Blank sought the gentleman
who had made out the bill. When the lat
ter was found the flirt took opportunity 10
remark that nothing but petty jealousy
would induce a man to make out a bill ike
that. That was all he said, for in a minute
he was picking himself up from the side
walk, where he had been thrown by the
legal gentleman.

the second compositor from the Herald

other was Mr.. Connery, whose method of

him ASCERTAIN notoriety. What resemblance
exists between the duties of printer and
those of a coroner that can qualify Il typo

Z ANY one wishing good piano at mod
crate price and ON easy terms of payment,
win find at Blackmar's Temple OF Music,
9Ol Canal street, the only Chickering pianos
that are for sale in the city of New Orleans.
Mr.. Blachmar has the grand square and up
right piano. There is no question that the
Chickering piano was celebrity years ago,
and while it is not high-priced, its excel
lence is beyond dispute. When you are adj
vised to buy the best, remember that you
are not to consider piano the best because
it is high priced !. for the sweet toned, pow
erfal, durable, richly-carved Chickering
piano, with the case of rosewood mot maple
stained in imitation of rosewood), is now
sold at one hundred dollars less than some
pianos that are claimed by the makers to be
"equal to the Chickering." Whoever wants
good piano, at a low price, can assuredly
be suited at Blackmar's Temple of Music
where choice can be made from six first
cinss manufacturers, at prices and on terms
thatcan not fail to be satisfactory.
