Captain Peabody, master OF the ship Neptune.
called at the HERALD once yesterday afternoon to
explain his conduct towards the crew on the voyage
out from Liverpool He denies all the statements
made by the men, and declares he didn't abuse them
In any way whatever. The men, he says got FROST
bitten while standing abont the Ship he had
no dimculty with any OF them except one who tried
to get excused from duty because he
HAD BOIL ON HIS ARM.
This man he compelled by force to 60 on the look
out. The greater number Of the men got injured
through their own fault and by endeavoring to
shirk their work. There were but seven passengers
on board, and the law did not compel him TO have
doctor with that number. There was always suf
fcient supply Of medicines. Those men who were
injured had their wounds pouliced and dressed. and
the very best care was taken Of them.
The captain further states that had ne supposed
any OF the men were Ill on board the Neptune when
he went ashore on Saturday he would have taken
care OF them.

A New SLfe lnsarancr Decision.
A d.c,.,ou oi some impOr, ance to lite
insurance companies was made ct Dn-
buans lat Thorsdsy. 1t WAS 9 case in
which q mother procured a policy OF 81
500 Tor the benefit OF her infant daughter.
and si:er making two quarterly payments
surrendered the policy. at the request OF
the compsny. for reasons that we do not
find stated. In lew months afierssr'i
the mother died, and suit for the amount
Of the policy vas brought in the Cncu''
Court by the next fIien,. Of the surviving
daughter.
IL was held by Judge Baker that the
policy OF insurance. when executed and
delivered, created a valid contract be-
tween the plaintiff and the defendant.
which no person. excepting one legally
anthorizsJ to oct for the plaintiff. could
surrender or annnl ss her act; and that
although the monher Of the plaintiff OBJ
t,insi the policy and made payments on
it. she nevertheless had no legal snthority
to surr, nder it fur any consideration paid
her BY the company. being neither the
natural nor appointed guardian Of the
person or estate Of the plaintiff.
He also held that to claim forfeiture
Of the policy for the non paymen pre-
miums, it would have to be shown that
an agent Of the company presented re-
ce pit Tor the premium to some person
liable to pay it, and such person refused
or neglected to do so.
Under these instructions. the Jury found
verdict for the plaintiff Tor the iull
amount Of the policy. with interest. We
understand that the case will be taken to
the supreme Court. II affirmed. it Ger.
tsiniy establishes somewha. novel pre-
crdent. and is Of g'eat Importance to lit
companies.

Paris.


Paris is now in one of thoss supreme
crises which have occasionally varied it,
long aud interesting history. When Ce
sar conquered Gaul it was but 9 smal
fortified town, on the little island 10 ths
Seine. which is now a mere speck 10 th'
heart of the city. The Celtid tribe of thu
PARISH burned it to prevent its falling into
bis hands. That was 6f,y-6ve years be-
fore the Christian ers. Four hundred
years a!terward The Roman Governor,
the celebrated JuIean (afterward Empe.
rory. made Lutetia, ss Paris was then
called, bis sbode, and be built public
sdi6ices there. making it an importas..
city. Isnsrrowiy ese:red destruction BY
Attils. In 465 it was stormed by the
Franks under Childeric. and near the close
of the century it was taken by Clovis.
the first Christian king Of the Franks.
In ss5 Hugh Cspet made it tho capital
OF France. and it subsequently withstood
several sirges by the No.mans. 1t was
the scene Of many sahgusnary conflicts
during the middle sees. It wss taken BY
the English usder Henry V. after ter
rible siege. attended with pes,ilence. fam
inc. aud insurrection. Henry entered the
city with great pomp. and was there pro.
claimed King Of France. At that time
Paris contained three hundred thousand
souls. 1t suffered greatly during the civil
wars Of the Guisss. and subsequently, OF
the Huguenots. bat no foreign enemy sp.
peared before it's walls until 1914. uhsn,
after . short bot gallant resistance. it sur
rendered to the Allies under Wellieetoa
and Blucher.
Il was Paris that organized and con.
holled the great revolution Of l7S9. and
it directed all the remsrxs able event. from
that period until the fall of Nspoleou in
1914. 1t dethroned Charles X. in 1880.
and Louis Philippe 10 1913: but the ex-
Emperor. on bis accession. iususursted
the system of pis5iscites. whereby much
oil the power possessed by the metropolis
has been transferred to the country st

streets were narrow. and an open sewer
