Dead Shot for Insects.

Strong alum water is q sure death to
bugs of and description. Take two
pounds Of pulyerized orof crystal alum,
and dissolve in three quarts OF boiling
water, allowing it to remain ever the
fro until thoroughly dissolved. Apply,
while hot, with brush, or, what Is bet
ter, use syringe to force the liquid
into the cracks OF the walls orbedstead.
The pulyerized alum is worth about %
cents pound, and that in crystal from
IA to GOA cheap remedy. The latter
requires little longer to dissolve. .Ol
course nm experiment to verify the
claim above made, can be made by en-
ploying mere fraction Of the quaint
ties aboye.named. A less perfect curt
for insect pests is to scatter the powder
cd alum freely in places where they
abider. Powdered borax, scattered
thinly where Croton bugs and cock
reaches travel and abide, will expo
them Mt once. 1t is n sure expulsion FOL
tho Croton insect. Almost all stront
saline solutions are eilicacious in thu
destruction OF these household pests
which are both destructive and annoy
ing, and the mixture OF alum or IN.
other material used need not necessaril..
be hot.

Rights In Life Insurance.

No little discussion is going on rela-
tive to the question: Is the widow Of q
suicide entitled to his Life Insurance
or rather does the insured party yitiate
his insurance policy by the act OF taking
his own life. Much donbt Is expressed
pro and con on the subject by the nii-
thorities. BY some 1t is conceded that
the very act OF suicide, no matter what
the circumstances may be, is i'rima
facie evidence Of insanity, and Verdicts
have been rendered in accordance in
more than one instance. Others, while
they declare that suicide is the effect Of
mental disease, MS much may truly be
said of many other crimes, insist that
when man takes out n policymanitestly
with the view OF committing Suicide,
and OF thus securing to his heirs the
benefits he is unable to procure by
other means, the act, although entirely
self.sacriAcing, is palpable fraud, not
so much on the company MS on us
policy.holders who constitute the sub.
stance OF the organization, and in fact
mutually insure one another under GER
tain conditions.
Not long since singular case oc-
CURED in Canada, bearing upon this
subject. A man who had committed a
heinous crime and escaped, had large
policy upon his Life. The officers were
in close pursuit, and it was palrably
evident that in a few hours the criminal
would be within the prison walls. al:
most at the moment OF arrest, he placed
a pistol to his head and blew out his
brains. The insurance company de-
clined to pay the policy under the cir
cumstances, and litigation ensued. The
court ordered that the full amount Of
money be paid, and it was paid to the
wife and family OF the suicide. In this
case the verdict was that the man was
insane when no took his own life into
his hands.

AssaultIns an Editor.

A Harlem, N. Y, correspondent,
gives the details Of the brutal assault
upon the editorof theLocdi OF that place.
The paper had been out spoken in local
politics. Threats anonymous and open
were made, but the editor kept on.
Some months ago Gibson, the editor,
having received caution not to attend
meeting, persisted in attending, and
there made M exposure. Within two
or three nights q young man so like
Gibson us to be easily mistaken for him
was set upon and beaten 30 brutally
that he is still IN invalid, and may bear
the penalty OF his unluckly resemblance
for years. Gibson, despite this warn
ing, persisted in his course. Aman ao-
costed him at tho door Of his Office,
asked him il his name was Gibson,
and on his affirmative reply threw the
conttnts Of q tin cup in his face. The
cup contained yitriol, and us a result,
the editor had one eye burned out and
tile sight Of the other impaired. II
seems probable that rs Mr.. Gibson had
clear view OF the assailants, there were
two in company, and as he did not
know them they were imported scoun-
drels-murierers by the Job.

Autumn. although the most radiant portion Of
the American year, has It's drawbacks. Tho heavy
evening dGwS and morning vApors and the great

Preserving ssE..

A Pennsylvania farmer sued rail.
road company for tho loss of barn by
fire hndled by tho sparks from loco.
motive, In the lower court the Jury
awarded the farmer $4,000 damages.
The railroad appealed to a superior
court. II was shown that the barn was
some distance from the track OF the
railroad, and that the intervening space
was occupied by abundance Of dry
grass, weeds, &C., by which the fire was
communicated to the building. The
court overruled the first decision, on
tho ground that MS no one is respon-
ponsible for the accidents from remote,
but only for those from immediate
causes, the owner of the barn must
bear the loss. 1.-THE sparks from the
locomotive did not ilrc the barn, but
the grass, and it was the grass which
fired the barn." II farmer should

The Nathan Murder.

BENJAMIN Nathan was murdered In his
bed.ciamber on the second floor Of his
residence, near Fifth avenue and
Twenty.third street, New York, in the
carly morning Of the 10th Of July,
1870. The occupants Of the premises
at the time were the deceased, his two
sons, Washington and Frederick,
woman servant and her son, q young
man Of twenty.four, named Kelly. All
the circumstances pointed TO the fact
that the murderer or murderers were IN
the building before>the family retired.
There were no signs Of housebreaking,
and il Is probable that, as the house
was undergoing repairs, and rs the
front door was left wide open during
the whole day to allow Of the easy in.
gross or egress Of the workmen, the per-
petrator OF the deed entered from the
Street in the ordinary way without at
tracting attention, secreted himself in
the library, and awaited the coming OF
Mr.. Nathan, to possess himself OF the
kew Of the safe which It was his inten-
ton to rifle. The instrument used by
tile murderer was ship carpenters
iron dog, which it was supposed had
boon stolen from house in Fifth
avenue in 1869 by burglars who used it
on that occasion to open drawers and
safes. This dog was looked upon by
Superintendent Jourdan rs most i'm.
portant clue. Some OF the burglars
who had entered the Fifth avenue man
sion and stolen the dog therefrom sub
quently committed another burglary
and we're sent to Sing Sing, where they
were ut the time Of the Nathan muir
der. This murder has received new in
terest from the confession of Irving in
California, who confesses to particle
pancy in the affair.
