We have already alluded to the decision
Of the Propaganda at Rome to send to this
country a delegation Of newly graduated
clergymen to labor among the negroes in the
South. These priests have received the spe-
cial and exclusive mission of converting the
whole colored race on this side Of the water.
-Four priests have sailed almost Immediately
to be followed by forty others. There are five
millions Of the negroes in this country, and
Rome has made up her mind to have them.
The priests are English, and the mission is
the first foreign one which has ever been
given to the English Roman Catholics. The
reason for assigning England this one is some.
what peculiar II is claimed that as Great
Britain is guilty Of having originally forced
slavery upon North America, she should now
make reparation for that sin by converting all
the new freedmen to the "only true church y
therefore those members Of the English aris-
tocracy who have remained firmly attached
to the Roman mother have zealously entered
upon the new work

Thomas Woody, who has been living
this section for some months, was ar
rested at Palisade a few days ago. for
the murder OF an old mar named Flu
ley, In rulare county last August.
John Finley, u o Of tho murdered
man. 1t will be remembered carried OIL
the butcherlng business In this place
last year. He left soon after the death
Of his father, and has remained IN Cal
ifornia ever since. Glasscock. the
Sherlffof Tulare county, aided by Dep
uty Sheriff S. NJ. Henley, OF Palisade,
effected Woodey's arrest. Glasscock
was en- route for Eureka, but acciden-
tally met his man at Palisade. Tho
officers here worked up the Ct sc, and
informed the Sheriff Of Tulare county
concerning his movements. 1t seems
that Woody suspicioned that he was
being watched, and to avoid arrest had
started to leave the country. As we
recollect the circumstances Of the
killing, old man Finley, aged about
sixty years, was called to his door aud
shot dead on the spot.

LIFE INSURANCE.

In several cases recently tried in
different States the question has been
raised Of the liability Of life insurance
companies to holders Of policies on
lives which have terminated through
suicide or intemperance. In regard to
the question of suicide the decisions In
this country have widely varied. In
England the Courts have uniformly
decided that II a person taking his own
life has sufficient Intelligence to know
that the act In which he Is engaged will
prove fatal, he violates the conditions
Of the contract, and the policy cannot
be recovered upon ; while If the man
is 50 insane as not to know that he Is
taking his own life he cannot be said
to die by his " hand within the
meaning Of the policy. In Detroit
lately the widow Of Henry Wolff who
committed suicide in 1871, brought suit
against a Connecticut company to re-
cover OH a policy Of $4,000 Issued on
her husbands life. The policy sets
forth that 1t shall be void II the Insured
dies by his own hand. In this case 1t
was conceded that Welt really died
by his own hand, but the Court went
beyond the English decisions and held
that, although the suicide might know
that the act would result fatally, II he
was impelled thereto BY IN irresistible
impulse he did not die BY his own hand
within the meaning Of the policy.
Under this ruling testimony as to the
actual condition Of VOLTS mind was
admitted, when It transpired that he
had long been addicted to incorporate
habits, and had killed himself while
suffering from delirium tremens. 1t
was then shown that the policy also
stated that it should DC void In case OF
death by delirium tremens, which so
complicated the matter that by consent
Of counsel on both sides a juror was
withdrawn, and the case permitted to
70 over for the term in order that II
might be properly considered In It's
new aspect. In Louisville a widow
has just recovered $4,000, with inter-
est to date Of verdict, from another
Connecticut company, which had re-
sisted payment Of the policy on the
ground that the assured had died from
dellrlum trcmens. The company based
Its refusal to pay on a provision in the
policy which declared It should be
void, and all premiums paid should be
forfeited, II the assured should become
so far Incorporate as to impair his
health or to induce delirium tremens.
The company introduced some proof
tending to show that tho assured had
dellrium tremens IN q mild form but
this was denied by the plaintiff and by
the physician who attended the de-
ceased. and 1t WAS satisfactorily proven
that uranic poisoning was the proNi-
mate or immediate cause Of his death.
Thus the ~perplexing question was
evaded, the jury giving the verdict on
the belief that the man did not die OF
dellrium tremens: There IL no decls-
lon Of the United States Supreme
Court to govern such cases.
