l%nterestinu Suit.

An Interesting suit, Involving tho
rights of holders Of life insurance poll
cies. has been brought in Baltimore.
In July, 1859, a gentleman insured his
life on the endowment plan In a COM

premium OF $1,000 n year, and at the
expiration of ten years to receive $l0,-

part Of the company that the insured

first company surrendered 1t, and In

Under this seductive title the Salt
Lake Tribune advocates the building
Of narrow-gauge railroads. 1t says
that Utah In the course Of ten or
twenty years will perhaps contain
more miles Of harrow-gauge railroads
than any other State or Territory in
the Union, simply because such roads
will be needed to connect with the
various trunk lines which intersect her,
aud to open up communication With
settlements, mining districts and ada
cent States and Territories. The great
est expense OF building these roads is
the cost of iron, as the freight on it is
very heavy. AS there Is an abundance
Of iron and coal In Southern Utah, all
that Is required Is capital and enter
prise to manufacture the iron. Par
ties acquainted with the subject have
assured the editors OF the Tribune that
railroad iron can DO manufactured
cheaply in the region referred to, ir
consequence Of the contiguity Of the
ore to the coal. We believe that there
Is a good opening for capitalists IL

The city physician Of Springfield,
Massachusetts, Is a woman = elected
by way of experiment. She Is said
to have been exceedingly successful,
not having made even n medical
blunder since she began her work.
One reason for this she gives when she
says that she was livery careful about
making mistakes, because she knew
that any error would be more severely
visited upon her than it would be
upon a man." She has been an eco.
nomical official, for sho has attended

FINANCIAL 6 COMMERCIAL.

Business generally has been rather quiet dur
the past week The farmers are generally busy
with their farm work, and consequently tbs re-
ceip.s of grain are rather light.
In money matters there is no material change
to note The market continues rather close, ana
the demand for money is little greater than
last week.
In Chicago the market is reported active the
demand being rather greater than last week. The
prospects for an easier market are good. The
opening Of lake navigation will release to the
market large portion Of the funds now held ia
grain.
In New Yorl, the market is reported consider
ably easier than last week. The rates for cash
loans ruled from { per cent. currency to ! per
cent. gold The return of large amounts Of cur
rcucy from the interior promises an casiermarhct
during the coming summer.
Gold has declined about one per cent. during
the week The large payments 10y the govern
mcnt, ON account of interest and the redemption
of $50 bonds has undoubtedly contributed to the
decline. The market closed in New York at

sure to get used up in the most prompt and
complete manner. 4 man at Greenwich,

fast express was passing, and he got very
much the worst of it. His legs were entirely
spoiled, but then he had no further use for
them. The only thing about him which
might have benefited the survivors. an old
brass key which he carried in his pocket, was
so doubled and twisted up as to have utterly
