WoMAN's INFLUENCE IN Politics AND
BUsINEss.-Womcn cannot vote; but their
influence in political matters is almost as great
as if they could. Some people attribute the
present war in Europe to 4 wOman's ambition,
and others to difficulties regarding few con-
spicuous ones of the gentle sex. During Andy
Johnson's administration the influence of wo-
men at the national capital was very considera-
BILE; and for years back the operations of women
in the third house have had more or less to do
with national legislation. Of late we have
been told much regarding the exertions of the
wife of Gen. Logan to secure the nomination
of United States Senator for her husband
eve recollect," says al exchange, enlarglng
upon the subject, "that Mrs. Stephen A. Doug
lass was the life of her husband, keeping him
from dissipation and restraining his impetuosl,,
ty. Senator Fenton owes much to the tact and
energy of his daughter Josephine; Mrs. John
C. Fremont has always been of great service to
her husband, and Senator Slidell, of louisiana,
was aided in his fortunes and popularity by
Mrs. SlidelI, both in New Orleans and Wash
ington. One of the most remarkable instances
of female electioneering, however, occurred in
California, when Gwin and Broderick were
contendng for the Senatorship and in this
instance Broderick confessed to q. defeat at the
hands of beauty. Mr.. Gwin opened parlors at
the principal hotel at Sacramento, and Mrs.
Gwin presided. The beauty and talent of the
State were concentrated at the receptions,
twenty-seven young ladies lending their attrac-
tions to influence the representatives. The
Legislature was invited to partake of the hos
pitalities of the Gwin reception, and as he was
then United States Senator, and was still ex-
pected to be, it may well be supposed that the
brilliant court established by Mrs. Gwin was
not neglected. And the wife and family of
DIR. Gwin knew how to keep open house. They
had wit, good sense, refinement, beauty, wealth,
name and position. They embarked all these
qualities in the contest, and used their elo-
ducnce to such advantage that Broderick had to
retire" And yet the sex are not satisfied. And
they never will be.

LIABILITIES OF CoRPoRAT1oNs.-A; gentle,
man and his wife recently recovered 1886
against the City Council Of Chicago for DANA
ges sustained by Mrs. Cutler
1t seems that some person who was erecting a
house had stretched the guy rope of derrick
across the street and fastened it to post on
the other side This rope was invisible in the
night time, and no lights or other projections
were placed there to prevent accidents. AS the
buggy in which the plaintiffs were riding was
passing the locality mentioned the team struck
the rope, and Mrs Cutler was thrown to the
ground She sustained injuries from which she
has never fully recovered.
The court instructed the jury, among other
things, that it is the duty of the city to keep
its streets in a safe condition for the travelling
public, and to guard against any and all OBJ
structions which could not, or would not, he
noticed by person driving over the streets in
the night time 1t is the duty of the city either
to remove Instructions from the streets, or to
place guards around them, or lights near them,
or to adopt some other necessary precautions
for the safety of persons riding over the street
If no such precautions were taken in the pres
ent case, ard the plaintiff, without negligence
was injured by the rope fastened across the
street then she should recover.
But the city cannot be held liable as an IN
surer of the lives or limbs of people travelling
upon its streets, but is liable only when the in
iuries complained of are the result, in words oil
part of defendants negligence.

There are many brave-hearted men whose
names are never known to fame, but whose
quiet heroism is more worthy of mention than
scores OF more public deeds of daring which
readily win praise and renown. Sometimes in

to light, which are truly noble. During the

The surgeon was silent 1t was very painful

short pause the soldier inquired, "1s the stuff

avoided in New York through the Insurance.
Department. We may differ as to the meaning
of terms, but we think the failure of Compa-
ny claiming to have more than half million
of assets, not one-fourth of which can be real
lied, thus Disappointing and causing loss to
three thousand policy-holders, is quite "dis-
astrous irregularity." This it failed to prevent.
We do not doubt that these failures are very
unpleasant things to those who have proclaimed
the "infallibility" of this department. Some
New York Companies, and their agents, have
claimed that this State supervision gave "abso.
lutte protection" to persons insuring in New
York Companies. This all pre-supposes that
the Superintendent will always be honest and
sufficiently onnnicieut to detect any untruthful
or incorrect statements made by company,
located one hundred miles or more from Albany.
Nay, more, even these good qualities could only
detect not preuent Irregularities. A trust must,
therefore be reposed, and we suggest to those
desirous of making investments in life policies
to seek companies whose officers and managers
they know to be men of ability and integrity.
This is the best security against irregularities"

From the above data, it is evident that, as
class, the old Companies, with the advantage OF
longer experience, did not excel the young, to
say the least, in the selection of new risks
ave, more-the conduct of some OF the Leading
old Companies justifes the New York Under
writer, for December, in saying, when speaking
of this unhealthy increase of business-"ihe
economical, conservative ways that are neces-
sity of the system, a,e forgotten Or defied; even
the old solidity-entrenched otfices-'have been
startled from their propriety.'
Old Companies have some advantages, IL Is
true, but they do not monopolize them. They
have large amounts of assets, but they nave
corresponding liabilities. They have large In,
comes from interest, but the larger portion OF
it belongs, and is returned to, the older menl-
hers in dividends, and is not paid in settlement
of claims by death as the statements OF some
agents would imply They have experience,
but officers of young companies have aoundanC
data within reach to guide them in safe dis
charge of their duties.
Younp companies have great advantage In
the rate of mortality of members, as compared
with old companies.

The losses of the old business as compared
with new was, therefore, nearly eight times as
great. 1t must be borne in mind, toe, that
much of the cold business" referred to above
was secured within the last fen years.
The College of Actuaries, of England, after
careful investigation on this point state I. that
the advantage of careful selection OF lives
lasts perceptibly for ten years.
In 1869 one of the largest and most success,
full Companies in New York lost by death 10
per cent. more of income than young Compa-
nv that cannot claim to be more prudent This
increase of mortality in old Companies does
not argue weakness. They have made CORES
ponding accumulations to meet these losses
The smaller ratio of mortality in young COM
panics gives time for accumulation and coun-
ter balances their larger ratio of expenses.
The only just test of cost of insurance, other
things being equal, is the per centagc of pre-
mium income paid out for losses and expenses
Prudent and well managed young companies dc
not expend on these accounts larger per cent

and, therefore, furnish as cheap insurance as
the old, if not cheaper.

THE OLD SroRY.-One of the stories which
began during the rebellion has just reached a
very interesting point. 1t is located in Tennts-
see. and is told by the Nashville Bulletin. An
old gentleman named Tompkins, who lived at
Lebanon, had pretty daughter, and declared
she should marry Henry Hunt or she should
never have $4,000 in cash which he had buried
out of sight of the impending Yanks; She had
set her heart on marrige with one Hamilton
but like dutiful daughter, and in view OF the
cash mentioned, she accepted Henry and the
marriage was consummated. In due time
Tompkins died. and, having divulgcd to the
iliv-matched pair the place where the money
was they dug it up and were rich. Mrs. Hunt,
however, was afraid that robbers might get the
money, and SO she prevailed upon Henry to
nut it all in her trunk, where it might be safe.
The usual result: The other day Mrs Hunt
took the trunk and went to Nashville. There
she met her first best admirer, Hamilton, and
the two went away together, and since then
Henry has not seen the wife or the money,
though he has searched for them diligently. A
great deal has been said before to-day, about
woman's devotion under the most discouraglng
circumstances Need we make the moral OF
this touching story palmer.

TIVE ExcELLENcY OF THE farmers LIFE
Agriculture corresponds to that degree of e!-
ercise which is the best preservative OF health.
It REQUIRES no hurtful fatigue on the one hand,
nor indulges on the other Incidence, still more
hurtful. During throng of work the dlllgent
farmer will sometimes be early and late IN the
field: but this is no hardship upon an active
spirit.
Tn the management of a farm constant atten-
tion is required to the soil, to the season, and to
different operations. a gentleman thus occu-
pied becomes daily made active, and is daily
gathering knowledge; as his mind is never sut-
fered to languish, he is secure against the dis
ease of low spirits. -,
But what chiefly insist on is, that, laying
aside irregular appetites and ambitious views
agriculture is, of all occupations, the most con-,
sonant to our nature and the most productive.
of contcntment, the sweetest sort of happiness
Tn the first place it requires that moderate de-
gree of exercise which corresponds tho most'to
the ordinary succession of our perceptions.
Fox-hunting produces succession too rapid
ANGLING produces a succession too slow. Agrl-
culture corresponds not only more to the ordi-
narv succession, but has the following signal
PROPERTY, that farmer can direct his opera
tions with that degree of quickness and variety
which is agreeable to his own train of EerceE-
tions.
The hopes and fears that attend agriculture
keep the mind always awake and in an enlise-
ming degree of agitation. Hope never apT
proaches, certainty so near as to produce secu-
rity, nor is fear ever so great as to produce
anxiety and distress. Hence it is that. 8 far
mer, tolerably skillful, never tires of his wotk,
but is as keen at the last moment as the 7Hrst
, Can any other employment compare with fsrm-
ing in that respects No other occupation M
walls agriculture in connecting private interest
with that of the public. - h'"oa1'

there be any remaining patriotism in nation,

STEALING A SHRoUD.--An old lady in Sa-
vannah. not long since, feeling that her time in
this wicked world was perhaps short, and that
at some unexpected moment she would be
called away from earthly scenes, resolved to
make her grave clothes, so that the burden of
their preparation would not fall upon others
The clothes were accordingly made and safely
packed away in a trunk until they should be
required, with every assurance that their safety
was guaranteed On Tuesday mig ght however,
thief entered the house, opened the trunk and
made general raid, among other things cap
turing the habilments of death. Of course the
old lady feels bad, and the question arises natu-
rally. what will he, the thief do with his booty.
