DUB SUBURBS.

No CITY in the Union offers finer advantages
for the creation of beautiful suburban at
fractions than our own, and there are but
few which have not made more use Of what
they have. A short time ago somebody
started plan Of having boat run from the
Halfway House to the lake. 1t was but
small affair at best, but some people were
glad to see the movement made. and
went on board for trip, but reaching the
Lake End they found nothing to attract or
amuse, and they were very soon ready to-
start back to the city. Crowds OF people
every Sunday go out in the Canal street cars
to the terminus Of the line, but their princi-
pal pleasure il derived from the ride, and
they are soon willing to come back.
Carrollton offers some attractions, but not
enough comparatively to induce very many
visitors. Our wealthier citizens can always
find some recreation, but it requires the ex-
penditure of more money than their less for
tunate fellow-citizens can afford to spend.
What our lAboring GLASSES need is some place
in the suburbs where they can spend an hour
or two at the conclusion Of q week Of hard
work, with some real pleasure, and which
does not require that they should spend
great portion OF their hard earned savings.
After toiling for six days, from morning till
night in the close city, they long for some
attractive place, whore, breathing the pure air
and enjoying the absence of regularly paved
streets and long lines Of brick walls, they can
indeed feel that the hour for rest has come,
and that life is not all q burden. The new
routs to the Lake will, in . measure, satisfy
this want, but it is not yet built, and more are
needed.
There are very many places about our city
that could be made attractive Many pleas
ant groves and shady hooks, where, for very
small outlay Of capital. very pleasant resorts
might be made; where music. refreshing bev-
erages and innocent amusements might be
afforded the visitor for Q reasonable sum, and
with great profit to tho proprietor. Not only
would the owner Of such place be comforting
. public benefit, but he would be making an
investment of capital which would OF a
surety yield very large profits to him.
II must be remembered, however, that the
charges imposed by these proprietors should
be within reason and such as our poorer peo-
pie can pay without deprivation to themselves
Small charges and profits would in the end
pay best, q they would induce larger num-
bsr Of visitors. The subject is worth consid-
Grafton, and We submit it to those Interested

SUICIDE IN LIFE INSURANCE.

In policies of life insurance il il the custom
to insert clause providing that If the ia-
sured shall die BY his own hand or act the
does mot refer to unforeseen accidents, -
whore one takes poison believing it 70 be
medicine, or walks over . precipice in lsno-
rance Of ih proximity, or ruptures an artery
BY sudden and violent exertion. 1T does not
refer 10 death caused by an cot done while in
. state of slsspor somnambulim. When the
insured commit suicide payment Of premium
is often refused and resisted under this clause
Of the policy. The claimant usually urges
that the insured va. insane, and that he was
therefore incapable of any rational act Much
interesting litigation has grown out Of this
question, and the law upon II may be regarded
~ still unsettled.
The latest case vas one decided in the
Court Of Appeals Of Maryland. where the In
suupd caused his own death BY hanging. The
Ecouft below instructed the jury that the for
fixture clause would not bar recovery # the
jury in that court found these facts: q.
I. That the deceased killed hims elf in . ut
Of insanity which overrowered his conscious
reason and viii and thus acted from . mere
blind and uncomfortable impulse, and that
sfter they are satisfed he died BY his own
hand it becomes incumbent on the'plaintiff on
her part to offer proof sufficient to prevent
the operation of the clause, and she does not
comply with such exigency By proof merely
that he was insane ut times. She must prove
that he was insane when the act was COM
mitted, and in the absence Of proof Of his
condition ct the precise time when the act
was then sane, and they can not draw an in
ference that he was insane from the fact that
he destroyed his own life.
The Court Of Appeals considered these in
struetions very. favorable to the insurer, who
had therefore NO cause of complaint The
decision if adopted Is rule would throw tho

Suicide, according 10 the general ruling n

courts TO constitute proof d insanity.

tendency to assume that the self-destroyer
must have been necessarily insane. Scarcely
one man in . hundred will be found, who, as
. juror, would find that a person who had de-
stroyed his ownylife. was sane.
The act il 30 entirely irrational, and 80 en-
tirely opposed to all human instincts, that
whom committed by one who has never before
shown insane symptoms, it il more reasonable
to suppose that it was done under the irse-
sistible influence Of some sudden paroxysm
Of madness than to assume that the suicide
was sane because insanity was not proven
otherwise than by his act.
But while this is true, it is also none the
less true that il the suicide clause IN life
insurance policies is to be stricken out Or dis
regarded, that either rates Of insurance must
be enormously increased or the companies
must wind up their business The risk OF
suicide ID never taken into the calculation OF
companies when establishing rates, because
they have deemed themselves protected by
the clause barring losses from such cause;
but once eliminate that clause and the pro-
portion of lunatics who destroy themselves
will increase probably more than fifty per
cent r.
From an article on this subject in the
Spectotm, an insurance journal, we clip the
following paragraph:
2. Under this rule, the number Of suicide
cases has been moderate indeed, and yet large
enough to be An important consideration. In
tho last seventeen years of the Swiss compa-
ny, there have been 81 suicides, insured for
291, 521 francs among its members; that is.
2. Al per cent of deaths, and IS per cent of
its matured policies are due to this cause
These numbers include only the known cases
Of suicide; how many have been concealed BY
the ingenuity Of the deceased, and in the in
terest Of survivors, we cannot know. We're
the rule changed, and insurance against sui
eide freely offered, no man can say how
greatly the numberswould be increased. In
protecting the company, the rule only pro-
tects the other policy holders, whose money
would only 60 to pay suicide claims. 1t is,
ct oil events, IN ascertained fact that the
proportion Of deaths BY suicide is larger
among the insured on life policies than it is
among annuitants.

THE LUMBER TRADE OF pAscAGoULA


Few Of our readers realize the extent Of
the lumber trade Of our diminutive neighbor
on Mississippi Sound. The contiguous coun-
try abounds in immense pine forests, from
which the finest timber is procured, aoated
down the Psscagoula River, and shipped to
varions European countries. There is one
serious obstacle which those engaged in the
trade have to contend with, and that is the
bar at the mouth of the river. on which there
are only three or four feet of water, whilst
there is depth of water in the river itself of
twenty-five feet.
With the removal Of this obstruction and
the employment of steamboats, to bring the
timber to the bay, the trade would be vastly
increased. We are glad to learn that the
General GQgernment has appropriated $780,
900, the State Of Mississippi $4,000, and the
citizens of Pascagoula 5000, to effect the re-
movsl of this bar, and that the work will be
commenced early in the fall
4 Within the last fifteen months there have
been fifty vessels-most Of them square
rugged loaded in Pasoagouls Bay for Euro
pean ports. These shipments were to Eng
land, France. Italy, Germany, and even to
Norway, 80 famous for its superior lumber.
About two years ago, when this trade was
languishing at Pascsgoula, and most of the
inhabitants were, in the neighborhood, with
out work of any kind, Messrs. Bercier De
Smet invested largely, constructed mills, and
gave new and vigorous impetus to the
lumber business afording employment to
large number Of deserving people. They are
men OF energy and enterprise, and deserve to
succeed in their undertaking.
When the bar Of the river is removed and
additional facilities for shipment are thereby
secured. Pascagoula viii no doubt soon take
rank among the foremost lumber ports Of the
country.
