IvpoprANr INgURANcE DECISIONS

IMPORTANT INsURANCE DECTsIoN.-
The Supreme Court oi New York city
has delivered q decision in one ol lour
insurance cases which have been pending
for several years. The plaintiff, as shGr-
if. brought the actions to enforce certain
attachments in favor Of various mer-
chants Of this city against the insurance
companies, for goods sold to merchant
named Gambler, TO open new store In
distant town, In another State, about one
month before the Gre. The loss occurred
in the interior Of Florida, in small place
and the companies denied their liability
en- several grounds-one, thstthe IRE was
attended with many suspicious circum-
stances; another, that Gambler, tho in
sured, made fraudulent claims In regard 10
the amount of his loss On the first rial
verdict was rendered in favor Of the
plaintiff. The court, on appeal, reversed
that Judgment, and on the second trial
the court dismissed the complaint. The
plaintiff fled exceptions, and the case has
/ ust been decided by the General Term,
which overruled the exceptions, and made
the judgment absolute, dismissing the
defendants complaint with costs. In
rendering the decision the court said;
The doctrine first laid down in Kuhl
man Orscr (supra) represents, therefore,
not only the settled law Of this Court, but
the law of the State as settled by the
Court Of Appeals, and from this It follows
that the notices served in the cases at bar,
which purported to cover generally all
the properly, real and personal, money,
bank notes, books Of account, and vouCh.
ers and papers relating thereto, and the
debts, credits and effects Of Gambler In
the possession Of or under the control Of
The defendant, and which were not follow
I'd up by the procurement OF certificate
and the returning OF IN inventory, were
wholly insufficient TO work levy upon
Gamblers claim under the policy In ques'
Iion.
This being 50, the Sheriff is not in a
position To maintain this action; and the
defect could not be cured by proof that
subsequent to its commencement, but

accompanied by proper notice. Such 8

HANDY Uses FOR POSTAL CARDs.-A
correspondent Of the New York Journal
Of Commerce inquiries whether II Is against
business etiquette to acknowledge the re-
ceipt OF a letter on postal card by "yours
at hand and contents noted" or 10 ac-
knowledge the receipt Of remittance by
"yours OF yesterday received, with in
closure, as stated, in full to first instant
The journal says there Is nothing "mean"
in such use oi postal cards, but rather
positive advantage, since on one side
will be the acknowledgement oi the re.
ceipt oil money or order, and on the other
the evidence Of the date when It
passed through the mails This re.
wives the old advantage Of writing
letter on single sheet OF paper, folding
Il, writing the address on the outside,
and mailing 1t to It's place Of destination.
According TO this method the official post.
office stamp showed when and where the
letter was mailed. On the introduction Of
envelopes this advantage was lost, since
the writing was on one piece Of paper and
the direction and stamp on another, and
there being no connecting link between
them, the actual mailing Of letter In an
envelope Is very hard 10 prove. There Is
10 be had, however, at some Of the station.
ers, q combination Of the letter sheet and
envelope on one piece Of paper; and this
has the handiness Of the envelope with
disadvantage ofpreserving the postmark.

Counterfeit and "Genuine" Paper
Dimes.


From the Boston Traveller, juno 9l.)
Counterfeit paper dimes are In circula.
tion. What's the difference between a
counterfeit dime and a genuine dime
You can't get cash for the one-and you
can't get cash for the other. So there is
no difference. The counterieiter will not
redeem his paper, and Government will
not redeem its paper. IT'S much oi q
muchness, both kinds of paper being
worthless. There Is sort Of belief that
the Government paper will be redeemed,
though It rests upon nothing but hope,
that most deceiving Of all deceivers. 1t
Is probable that but q small part OF Oul
smaller currency ever will be converted
into cash, as much Of 1t will be lost, In
various wRys-by wearing out, by being
dropped and trampled upon, or blown
away, by being burned, and by being pro-
nounce6 counterfeit when 1t Is genuine.
All this will be gained by Government,
and It will be lost by the poorest members
of the working classes, for whose suferings
neither governments nor politicians care
anything. Had any regard been paid to
the welfare Of those classes, and had JUS
tice been done, all our small currency
would have disappeared six years ago.
Its existence is q reflection on the coun-
try's sanity, and In every way 1t is q ca
lQmity.

MALINGERING.

Chambers Journal has compiled some
remarkable cases Of malingeriug into very
readable article. To mslinger is to feign
sickness. The man who, with his mouth
full of soap, falls down in the street in an
apparent fit,and froths al the mouth, and so
attracts the compassion and the money of
the unwarily charitable, is q malingerer.
Malingering is device often practiced by
soldiers and sailors. So skillful do some of
these become in Sinking duty, that the ply
stefan is utterly deceived At first they may
make few mistakes, but they soon develop
into true artists. One man is mentioned
who feigned paralysis of One-half the
body almost perfectly. Another deceived
the attendants by feigned tetanUs. Dumb
ness and deafness is a common trick, chron-
ic declines is rarer, as is also the loss of To-
comotion. One of the most ingenious dis
coveries of q maliDgerer was the case
of Victor Foy. The man pretended to be
a deaf mute, and had IL AIDED for years
on his infirmity. Numberless de-
vices to throw him off his guard
failed. He had even been violently awsk-
ened from his sleep; but his fright was only
expressed by the usual plaintive cry of a
mute. He could write, although deaf and
dumb, and by this he was discovered-his
blunders in spelling being phonetic in
their character, that is he wrote as he heard
and not as he saw.

''SAe is not dead, but sIeepetA.''
She is not dead, but sleepeth; hush! be still,
Lest some rude rude sound, perchsnee, be
slumbeTs deep
Disturb; let silence the whole chamber fill
Sleep, loved one, sleep.
Give place, We bitter notes of wall, give place!
Why should We make so much ado and weep
1t is not death that Gains her pallid face,
Your child is fast asleep. $500 ~.
And sleep a waking hath; then why should ye
Yourselves in dreary sorrow hopeless steep?
Who sleepeth doeth well; and well is she!
Sleep on, fair maiden, sleep.
Refreshment cometh after sleep; her eyes
Will I'LL again With giances sweet and bright,
Weary no more she'll wake her and arise,
When gone shall be the night.
The flowers in winter lay them down to rest,
And sleep away the bitter, numbing cold,
Then wake to glisten on the glad earth's breast
Lower than of old.
And like hOw'ret is gone your own dear child;
She waits the spring. which maketh all things
new,
Sleeping away, meanwhile, the winter wild:
why make so much ado? I. B. J..

Disiufecfants.

To the Union and American:
The vsue of reliable disinfectants at all
times, and especially at this season of the
year, and under the circumstances which
now press so heavily upon us, cannot be
over estimated. Chloride of lime is per-
haps the most widely useful, owing to its
capabilities for general application, but of
all the highest class of disiniectanLs, carholic
acid takes the lead at present, in both med
ical and public favor, ranking first as the
most de truCtive agent in counteractiDg, not
so much the effects Of putrefactiOn of every
kind, as in stroying the cause of putrefac-
ton itself. Carbolic acid was first brought
into notice during the European cattle
plagun of four years ago, when it was found
extremely effective. The impure qualities
are arpic.Ule for deoderization in the pro-
portion Of two pints of the acid to forty
gallons of water.
Among our able corps Of physicians the
opinion obtains that the prevailing disease
