General Mcclellan serenaded.


From the San Francisco Chronicle, Au-
gust 30.
The friends and admirers Of General
Mcclellan serenaded him last evening
at the Grand Hotel. When the cheer
ing had subsided, General Mcclellan
said:
Ny FRIENDS: An acknowledgement
is due to you for this very pleasing COM
pliment. l know myself we'll enough
to be aware that the less I have to do
with speech.making the better, especi-
ally for my hearers, and the simple
truth is, that | am 30 situated here that
have but little to say that you would
care to hear. l am not here in the
position OF that railway king whose re,
turn you soon expect. with his mind
we'll filled with mstured projects for the
completion of another Of those
iron bands that are in very short
time to unite this great Pacific Coast
with us in theEast that will increase the
prosperity of this wonderful land, and
take in the navies that now steam over
the surface of that great ocean that
washes your shores, an ocean that
always has and always must be the
great road to prosperity and wealth. the
key to which you hold in your hand,
and if rightly used, rightly encouraged
by the General Government, will give
you q measure Of prosperity that prob
ably no nation has known before. Nor
am I here. fortunately for me, as a poli.
tician, to discuss exciting issues OF to-
day; for l have among you here many
old comrades OF the Mexican and OF
the late war, and q large number of
personal friends, many Of whom, prob.
ably, differ from me in the strong polt
icsl convictions which / hold, and
would not wish to say thing on this
brief visit to your coast to mar in any
way the harmony that now exists be-
tween us. Nor am 1 here as an official
to defend my conduct. Nor as q candi.

here simply as private citizen to revisit,
the scenes connected with the reminis-
cences of twenty years ago, in the day:

LIFE INSURANCE AND SU1cIDE.-A YER
dict has been given in the Supreme
Court against the Knickerbocker Life
Insurance Company in suit turning
upon the question of suicide. The
plaintiff was the widow of man who
had shot himself, and the amount of the
insurance policy was $4,000. Payment
having been resisted on the ground
that the policy contained clause free
ing the company from responsibility in
case the party insured should ''die by
his own hands, sane or insane" the old
question came up again, with the usual
result.
The verdict is for the full amount
named in the policy, with interest added.
Repeated verdicts of this character
against the life insurance companies
establish SO many precedents that it is
evidently useless to continue the process
of litigation. It would be better to ex.
punge the customary anti-suicide clause
OF the policies, than to incur defeat in
law suits. and pay costs besides. Juries
seem to be readily convinced that the
hlers of suicide are entitled to the
policy which he kept up by regular pay.

GUARD YOUR HEALTH AND LIFE

How inconsistent is human nature! Men
carry revolvers to protect themselves against
rufiians in well-polished cities, whero the pre-
caution is unnecessary, often neglect to
fortify their systems against disease in the
most unhealthy seasons. Thousands OF dys-
peptics and other invalids are now laueuish-
ing in sick rooms. or feebly and listlessly
moving through our streets, who owe their
forlorn condition solely to want of common
prudence. Far more inimical than the roughs
