A queer life insurance suit has grown
out of the peculiar death, last spring, of
Mr.. S. M. Cooper, a farmer in Stock bridge,
Mass. His father and grandfather had
each died at the age of forty-one years,
and he foretold that he should die at the
same age. Although apparently in sound
health, he prepared to meet his fate as the
date drew near, and few days before the
time when he expected to die, he went to
Pittsfield, had his will made, and stepping
into the insurance office. applied for q
$4,000 policy, having already one of SIM
liar amount in a company in another State.
He was pronounced sound by the COM
pany's doctors, paid his premium and took
his policy. The next day, before he
reached home, he was taken sick with
some kind of fits, as it was pronounced,
and being taken home, died soon after his
forty-frst year, as he predicted. His ad-
ministrators, l.. S. Butler of Lenox and c..
l.. Lynch of Stockbridge, applied, after
due time, to the insurance company for
the amount of the policy, but payment be-
ing refused, they have brought suit for
$40 900, with A. j. Waterman Of Pittsfeld
as counsel. The company hesitate in the
payment of the claim because they think
the assured in his application and exami-
nation failed TO acquaint them with symp-
toms Of disease which he must have felt ;
but if full investigation of the case shows
that Mr.. Cooper was perfectly honest in
the matter the money will be willingly
paid.

ANEcDoTE OF PHIL. KEARNEY. A cha
acteristic anecdote of General Phil. Kear-
ney, who lost his left arm in Mexico, is
told by a Western paper, and will bear
republication 'At Fair Oaks, we believe
while standing in very tempest of death.
with his sword uplifted in command, Gen.
o. o. Howard had his right arm carried
away. That night, after Howard had
suffered amputation, and was lying spent
and racked with pain in 2 box-car which
was to take him to Washington, Kearney
drew near, and. looking into the car, said:
Howard, old boy, I'm sorry for you, sor-
ry with all my heart but. Howard, have
just thought of something. When you
get TO Washington buy pair of gloves;
send me the right and keep the left for your
self, and will divide the cart with you.
and hereafter we will get along more &C.
onomically.' And turning away, Kear-
ney muttered: That is better Cor him
than praying, and then Howard can beat
me praying anyway"

and kiowas. are on the war path in helndian
Territory. Five war parties appear 10 be
moving in the direction of the trail from the
Cheyenne agency to Caldwell, Kansas. They

The agent asks for soldiers to .'strike the hos
tile element" and the War Department has
ordered troops to proct ed TO the points desig
mated by him. The hostile tribes number
about 5000 warriors, and serious trouble IL not
an Indian war is feared by tie Commissioner
of Indian Affairs.
Official reports of the Indian attack on ST.
Joseph, hear Pembia, show that the savages
killed family of six or eight persons. and
burned several houses. The citizens of Penn

Not n Pleasant picture.

The able journal, the Philadelphia Ledger -
In referring to the adjournment OF Congress,
draws the following picture, which is anything
but pleasant, Of the manner in which business
Is conducted In our national councils:
"While, the Constitution Prov de a
Senate and House OF Representative YES, and
We have memb bers of the Two bodies to the
number of about three hundred and sixty,
nearly all the important legislation is done by
Conference Committees ofslx men each. Thus
the Legislative, Executive and Judicial bill, the
Post Office bill, the Sundry Civil bill, the De-
ticiency bill, the Indian bill, and other appro-
priafien bills, together with the Currency bill,
ground out by Conference Committees, whose
reports are pressed through the Senate and the
House and voted upon by members without
adequate knowledge of what they contain, as n
choice OF evilsbetween doubtful bills and no
bills Mt all. Irtheir final shape these prodnc-
tions of the Conference Committees always
contain items and provisions which one House
or the other has entered an emphatic protest
as being against its deliberate Judgment. Yet
through they GO, under the plea that there is no
more time left to contest the Objectionable pro-
visions. Some of the legislation thus pressed
through Is OF the most pernicious character, as
witnessed among recent instances, 1.-THE double
back action salary grab" and the "Sanborn
contract law" The Conference Committee is
the great opportunity for the shrewd jobber
and speculator in legislation. Yet Congress
after Congress and session after session the
and mischievous business goes on, TO
the great damage of the country, the most i'm
portant busi ness being left to the hot and hur
ried Comprises" of SIX men in the last days of
the session. Weeks and months are wasted in
prohtlesS talk until there is no time left for the
of the important business for
which Congress is convened,

New rreish. Railroad to Wilmington

A story has been set afioat that The Philadel-
phia and Reading Railroad Company are anxious
10 extend their freight road to this city. The
operations OF the Philadelphia and Reading Com
psny now extend over the old road Of the Phila-
delphia, Wilmington aud Baltimore Company
from Gray's Ferry to Chester, thence over the
small Riverside road nearly or quite to Thurlow.
These connections are now used only to supply
coal, iron, &C. to Chester and the factories and
shipyards along the shore. But it is known that
the Philadelphia and Reading Company has
thrown every obstacle in the way Of completing
the Wilmington and Reading r. r. to Reading,
and more recently embarrassed in every way that
it could the building Of the Berks County Road
from Reading to the Lehigh Valley coal region.
This road has now been completed and may be
made formidable rival to the Philadelphia and
Reading Road. This is clearly evident from the
policy OF the latter road which shows clearly
that it breads and fears anything likely to inter
fery with the monopoly which Mr.. Gowen had
been indus,riousy working for many years TO
secure Tor his company, and now that he has
purchased up the coal lands and was about 10
enter upon one of the richest fields of railroad
enterprizs in the world, lie does not like to be
annoyed by the road leading from this city to the
Lehigh Valley, hence 1t Is said the Philadelphia
and Reading Company will shortly urge their
new line down alonl the Delaware shore to Edge
moor, or to the mouth OF the Chr.stuna, or per-
haps pass this city on the western limits and
strike the Delaware again at New Castle.
Whether there is any truth in these rumors or
not we are unable to say But certainly the route
OF this riverside road Is that has advantages
in the future, and points directly the best point
on the river for great coal depot. Such depot
could be made with less money and more adyan-
tngeously on the Christiana opposite ilmington
than anywhere else. And the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad could not find a better position
from which TO start their great lines of steam
coliiers for the numerous ports they intend to
supply, than cur city, which may easily be reach
ed in all seasons Of the year.
