dSnce, thus alludes to the above topic FiYe-and
twenty years ago there we're seldom over five
And-twentY Congressman who brought their
wives to Washington and kept them there dur
ing the session. Up to about that time the. Sen
ators and Representatives usually lived here in
what is called 'messes. From half a dozen to
fifteen congeniRl spirits would take rooms at
some boarding house, with the understanding
that no one else was to be admitted, and the
party thus formed family circle In many Of
these "messes" no ladies' we're tolerated while
in others the chief attraction was the wife OF
some Senator or Representative, who was virtu-
ally the queen Of the establishment. Was it to
be wondered At that 30 many Congressman used
to pass the evening in fighting the tiger" At
some Of the comfortable gaming bells on the
Avenue or in the carousals At the gorgeously fit
ted up establishments near by Washington
city was then very immoral city, and many
foe intellect failed to preserve the owner from
temptation.
Nowa-dsy matters have changed. There are
to-day in Washington forty-fve Senators out OF
seventy-two, and one hundred and six Repre-.
sentatiyes out Of two hundred and thirty-hve,
who are accompanied by their wives and these
one hundred and fifty one wives of Congress-
men exercise potent influence. Gambling,
drunkenness, and other vices which it is not
necessary to name here once so common among
Senators and Representatives are not 80 openly
practised. il practiced at all by Auy
Of them. About forty Congressman keep
house and are benefited by the social
influences Of home, while the others board at
hotels or boarding houses, where agreeable cir.
Giles are formed. Eighteen Senators and TWEEN
ty four Representatives have also here with them
daughters who go into society; others are accom-
panied by female relatives and friends, and thir-
~ have with them children too young to 90 out
30 the successors Of men who used to pass their
evenings at faro bank or poker table, escort
their daughters to balls or remain at home and
frolic with their children. All this is decided
change for the better,

decision has lately been rendered by the
Circuit Court Of the United States for the West
Orn District OF Tennessee, in the case Of W. L.
TAFT and others, heirs OF DR.. Samuel Bond
against the New York Life Insurance Company
which will prove OF interest to insurance officers
and policy holders. The Justce says in HE
opinion:
"A policy Of Insurance which indemnifes
public enemy against loss in time OF war Is I'M
lawful, and where entered into before hostiities,
Is abrogAted when they occur. Where = life
policy provides that 1t shall be void upon the
non-paymeut Of premiums within the time pre-
scribed such payment is q condition precedent;
time is Of the essence of the contract, and there
can be no recovery il punctual payment is omit
ted. Where the performance OF condition pre-
cedent becomes unlawful. or, by act OF God, i'm
possible, this will not authorize recovery upon
the contract without performance. Such case il
distinguished from those in which subsequent
impossibility and lligalty are relied upon as
defense.
contract Of insurance, the continuance Of
which depends upon the election and acts OF
the insured, is not like debt the obligation OF
which is absolute, and which is suspended only
by war. The reasons for the dissolution Of ex-
eoutory contracts by war are not alone that such
contracts involve inter communion across the
hostile lines, or that they relate to property
liable to capture but more especially because
their execution increases the resources OF the
enemy"
"A court Of equity has no authority to decree
the specific performance Of ali agreement in IA
yor Of party who has failed to perform a con-
dition which is OF the essence OF the contract,
although prevented by its becoming subsequent
ly illegal or impossible by act Of God A court
OF equity will not relieve party from the effect
OF emitting to perform an act, although the
omission was caused by subsequent Illegally OF
impossiblity arising from the act OF God, where
such act was optional and the other party had
no right to enforce its performance. The agen-
authorized to receive premiums and renew poll.
ciOs, becomes unlawful when the insured and
insurer become pablo enimies."

CURE OF CATARRH.

not been for want Of remedies in mpteria qedtca
that the treatment OF this disease, so prevalent
among US, has fallen in disrepute with the gem

treatment for the cure Of Catarrh is entirely
original with myself, based on an experience OF
many years practice, making the disease a

applied at home, without the least ;nconvenl-
