INTrEFsTING TO LIFE INsuRRRs.-The New
COMMERCIAL Advertiser says: A decision on a
lie Insurance policy, just rendered By j Judge
Barnard, in the Supreme Court Of the Second
District, is of great interest to policy holders.
The Judges decision may be technically legal,
but it hardly agrees with the general notion of
equity. 1t appears that an insurance was eifec-
ted in the Guardian Life Insurance Company
OF this city. on the joint lives of Albert and
Gertrude Rodgers, man and wife, payable on
the death OF either. he husband had allowed
the premium to get in arrears The wife ascer-
tanned from clerk at the Office of the Company
the amount due, and promised to pay il next
day. The clerk, to save her trout BILE, said he
would call at her house. as he resided near, and
receive the money, which he did, and gave q
receipt for it. Two months subsequently the
husband died, and the in surance company, two
DAYS after, sent the wife the premium she paid,
with the notification that the clerk had no ri yht
TO receive ii. a the policy had EXPIRED and was
void. Justice Pratt, however, in the Circuit
Court, ruled against the company, on the
ground that a valid contract had been made BY
the clerk ut the office, and the jury gave YER
dict for the full amount claimed. The comp any
appealed TO the Supreme Court, and Judge Bar
nard set aside the verdict of the Circuit Court,
because the plaintiff had failed to show the
clerks authority to receive the money! and
because the latters power to act for the com
paBy had been revoked.
The Advertiser thinks that if Judge Bar
nards decision be sustained the payment Of pre-
miuns will be risky business to those not per-
sonally acquainted with the inside.atf fairs OF q
company.

SHOCKING TREATMENT OF CUBAN LADIES'
An account of the shocking treatment OF Cuban
ladies by the Spaniards in Havana appears in
our correspondence from that city. On the 23d
ult. twenty prisoners, all women and children,
reached Havana by railway, and we're led from
the depot to the female prison under guard, and
all tied, even children only five six years old
being tightly pinioned by the arms. At the head
Of the sad procession marched two handsome
young ladies Of eighteen years, both handcufied.
Ore was the daughter in-law of President Ces-
Iedes, the other the daughter Of Gen. Figueredo.
recently garroted in Santiago. The ladies were
all members of the best families on the Island.
As these unfortunate creatures passed throu gil
the streets, the Spanish mob jeered and threat
ened them, and in some instances attempted vio-
lence. Such outrages as these ought to arouse
the Indignation Of the civilized worldly. y.
World.
