Important to Insurers.

The following statement is well
worthy of the attention of property
owners all over the country:
Insurance placed in companies
that have not complied with the
laws of the State (either by the COM
pany direct or through agents or
brokers), cannot in case of loss be
sued for and recovered in any of the
United States or State courts, ard
the assured is left entirely at the
mercy OF such companies, and with
out legal remedy.
The statutes of all the States im-
poses certain conditions upon all in
surance companies Chartered by
other States) to enable them to OBJ.
tain authority to transact business,
and make binding contracts, within
the State, and without having first
complied with such laws, and obtain
en- the legal authority to do business,
all insurance written by them is H.
legal and void.
The following is an abstract from
recent opinion Of the Attorney
General of theState of Indiana upon
the subject:
GAS the statute prohibits any for
eign insurance company, directly or
indirectly, to take risks, or transact
any business of insurance in the
State. without first procuring legal
authority, this includes a prohibition
upon any person or corporation (not
duly authorized) from acting in any
capacity as insurance agents, either
by soliciting applications or collecting
money upon premiums. A policy
issued by an agent III violation of a
law, declaring his act to be criminal,
has been decided by the Supreme
Court to be void, after destruction
by fire of the property insured Got
Indiana, p. 52O), and in recent case
not yet reported in Indiana Hoffman
VS. Banks) the general doctrine is
confirmed"
This opinion is clear and decisive,
and has since been confirmed by iu>
dicial decisions in that State people
vs. Plessner) and the principle again
recognized by the Kentucky Court
of Appeals, and by Judge Davis of
the Supreme Court of the United
States Circuit Court in Indiana, and
is now held to be we'll settled law.
Insurers may, therefore, well un-
derstand that in accepting policies
in such companies, they are wholly
without indemnity against loss, ex-
cept at the caprice of the companies
whose illegal and void policies they
hold.-NelC York Nail.

Pwenty-nine Stones Taken from a
Boys Head.

A Boston exchange says that
about two years since a boy named
John Smith, aged 16 years, then
living with his parents at Canton
Mass, became the victim Of fast fail
ing health, resulting from no appar-
ent or disc0verable cause. He had
at first lost bis sense of hearing,
then his speech grew faint and mar
ticulate, and finally was almost
wholly lost. His parents were
weighed down with grief as one af-
ter another their unfortunate son be-
came first deaf, then dumb. Bat
now, these senses gone, reason itself
appeared tottering to its tall, and
idiocy, with its vacant stare and hol.
low laugh, was in the poor lads al
tered features. Such was the specta.
Gle which the poor boy then present.
ed, and his parents placed him In the
South Boston Idiotic Institution.
after consultation with the Super
lDtendent, DR.. Howe, who took him
under his own charge. But he grew
worse, and the light Of reason flick
cred on family for "a short space
and then went out, and left the boy
apparantly hopeless mental wreck.
A few weeks since, the mother, in
one of her periodic visits to see her
unfortunate son, mentioned to the
matron, Mrs. Mcdonald, that he
had, when about Z years Of age, put
some pebble stones in his ears while
at play, and that these had never
been withdrawn. Mrs. Sarah Brown,
a lady doctor, residing on Shewmut
avenue, who is q frequent visitor at
the institution, having obtained this
clew to the cause of the boys sad
condition, commenced curing ex peri
ments. Il syringe was at first appli-
ed, and then probe. AT last the
probe produced grating sound, and
further efforts rev called as had been
anticipated, number of small peb>
bles lying deep in the ear beneath
the skin. At last one OF them, about
the size of of pins head, was got
out, then another, and another, until
by successive repetitions of the ex>
pertinent no less than twenty-nine
small pebbles were removed from
the sufferers head. All this was
done without starting drop of
blood or causing any distress to the
patient.
The youth is now regaining his
lost senses, to the indispensable Joy
of his parents, and the no less aston
ishment of all to whom the circum~
stances of his long affection were
known. These facts are to be pre-.
sented, we understand, in a medical
journal shortly, and considered in
their bearings on the practice of the
profession.

Oranges.

The California Farmer says:
Farmers Oranges are also becom-
ing quite popular, and soon as they
work into the practical machinery
of reforms, they will become a bless,
ing to our State.
The following are the main fea-
lures of the Changers platform as
laid down in the West:
/. The protection of honest in.
dustry in all its branches against the
encroachments Of aggregate capital.
2. Equal and exact justice to all
classes and special privilege to none.
3. The control of all railroads
and all other corporations by Nation
al and State legislation.
4. A tariff for revenue purposes,
but none for the support of special
interest.
3. Opposition to salary grabs, and
all other government steals.
6. Rigid economy in all depart
ments of the public service.
Z. No more land grants for rail-
roads or other corporations, but 8
reservation of the public domain for
actual settlers.
8. Honesty and capacity the on
~ test for official position.

Tribulations of a Local Editor

The Danbury NelrS says: Once
upon time q local editor dreamed
that he was dead, and in another
world. lie approached the gate of a
city before him and knocked for ad-
mittance, but no one answered his
summons. The gate remained closed
against him. Then he cried aloud
for an entrance, but the only re-
Spouse were scores of heads appearing
above the wall on each side Of the
gate. At sight of him the owners of
the heads set up dismal howl, and
one of them cried; "Why didn't you
notice the big egg | gave your At
this horrid and most unexpected in
terrogation, the poor local turned in
the direction of the voice TO learn its
owner, when another vote shrioked,
"Where's the piece you were going
TO write about my soda tountainY'
and close upon this was the awful
demand "Why did you write a
piece about old Peddle's fence and
never say a word about my new
gate2" Whatever answer he was go
ing to frame TO this appeal was cut
abruptly off by the astonishing que
ry: "What did you spell my namo
wrong in the programme for?" The
miserable man turned to fee when
be was rooted to the spot by this ter
rible demand why did you put
my marriage among the deaths?"
he was on the point Of saying the
foreman did it, when a shrill voice
madly cried. "What made you put
in my runaway, and spoil the sale of
my horse?" And this was followed
by the voice of a female hystericall y
procaiming. "This is the brute that
botched my poetry, and made me
rediculousw Wbereupon hundreds
Of voices screamed: "Where is my arc
ticle? Give me back my article"
and in the midst of the horrid din
the poor wretch awoke. perspiring
at every pore, and screaming for
help. The next day he resigned,
and we had to hunt up another local
editor.

Beecher to the Front.

There was an unusually attend
ance at Plymouth Church, BROOKLYN,
Sunday evening, and the scene du-
ring that part of the sermon in which
Beecher alluded to the recent butch.
cry on the island Of Cuba forcibly
reminded one of old times, before the
war with the South, when Beecher's
voice was so often aised against the
slaveholding power in that section.
When be spoke of the long and he,
roic struggle of the little band of
Cuban patriots that had so persever
ingl resisted all the force that Spain
could bring against them, and said
that such heroi SIN deserves at least
recognition, the enthusiasm of the
audience could no longer be retained.
and they broke forth in long con-
tinuei bursts of applause, the ladies
waving their handkerchiefs, and APP
pearing as enthusiastic as the men
Again when Beecher hoped this Gov.
eminent would proceed in the mat
ter with all moderation, and that
nothing would be done rashly, but
that after a temperate appeal TO
Spain for justice, if that nation should
fail to punish the authors of those
cruelties, or, if it should appear that
she lacked the force to do so, "then, "
said Beecher solmenly, "let the JUS
tice of the nation fall" the enthusi.
asm OF the audience broke out afresh
and, regardless of the time or place
their hearty applause showed how
much they were in sympathy with
the speaker.

HOW TO TRAVEL,
Always attend to the checking
yourself. If you feel like swearing
at the baggage master, check YOUR
sell. II you haven't trunk full of
clean clothes to check, you at least
should be adequate to check shirt.
When you vacate your seat for a
moment, leave plug hat in the seat.
Some one will come along and sit
down on it, thereby preventing your
hat from being stolen.
Passengers cannot lay over for
another train without making ar
rangements with the conductor. If
man has been on a "train" for a
week or so, no conductor should al
low him to I4y over tor another train
on any account.
Ladies without escort in TRAVELLING
should be very particular with whom
they become acquainted. They
needn't be 50 particular with those
with whom they are not acquaint-
ed.
Keep your head and arms inside
the car windows, if you would keep
your head and "carry arms"
Never talk on politics; it will en-
courage some one to take a vote of
the passengers.
No gentleman will occupy moro
than one seat at time unless he be
twins.
Always show your ticket when-
ever the conductor asks you for it.
If You get out of humor about it
don't show it.
Never smoke in car where there
are ladies. Get the conductor to
turn the ladies out before lighting
your cigar.
Never spit moro than SIX times 10
the middle ofthe aisle; after that the
conductor might object.
In going through tunnel keep
your wits about you. Some one
might get their hand in your pocket
thinking it was their own.
Never use profane language in the
car. Go out on the platform Pro-
family is never thrown away on
brakeman.
Ifyou cannot sleep yourself, do
not disturb the "sleepers."
Look out for pickpockets. Pick
pockets are never in the car, as you
have to look out for them.
Provide yourself with sleeping
berths before starting. No careful
man will start out on a journey with
out good supply of sleeping berths.
On. B.-Those put up in fiat bottles
are the best, as they are easily car
ried in the pocket
Always be at at the station in
good time to take the train. Better
be an hour too early than a minute

Daring Feat.


Yesterday, friend of the Press
gave as the particulars of most res
markable feat in the line of skating
that it has been our lot to record !:
On last Friday young man, John
Hanson by name, resident of Pierce
County. Wis, who had pressing bust
ness in this city, and who was de.
termined to reach here that after
noon in time to catch the up train,
which is due at 3:45 p. NJ, at all haz.
ards, knowing that the river could
not be crossed with teams, and
consume too much time, be resolved
to make the journey from Trenton,
three miles, to Red Wing on skates.
The ice was n the most precarious
condition, numerous air-holes being
plainly visible on all sides the entire
distance. Starting from Trenton at
3:15 P. NJ, he reached here at $50,
making the trip of three miles in 10
minutes. Many times the ice broke
behind him, and his track might have
been traced by line of water which
forced its way through crevices in
the ice caused by his passing over it.
If at any time during the whole
perilous trip Hanson had stopped a
single moment, it is probable that
his life would have been the forfeit.
