Wild Cats.

A dispatch to the Cincinnati EHgujrer
of the 9Th inst. says: "the La Belle In
surance Company, wild cat, Of Wheeling,
was sold out yesterday. This Is the third
one of this sort that has succumbcd with
in the last few months-the mail City
and baltimore and Ohio insurance
companies of Wheeling, having been
previously reported. In this connection
it is we'll enough to note the fact that
Auditor Bennett has, since his
induction into Office, been wag-
ing an incorporating war
against these wild cat insurance concerns,
and, by this means, has incurred the
everlasting hatred of certain persons, in
Wheeling particularly and elsewhere in
this State, because he thus intcrtercs with
their little game. The failure Of one after
another of these companies, however, Is
the best possible justification of the
Auditors conduct relating to these swim
dies. If the Legislature will only adopt
the recommendations found IN the
Auditors report, and pass law
authorizing that officer to make Il
personal investigation into the affairs of
such companies as are suspected OF being
worthless. and, when 50 found, the clos
inc ofthem up, it will save many a poor
sufferer by fire, from II loss which he
might secure himself against if this weed
ing out process Is authorized in advance.
At present the first intimation the public
that company is unsound is heralded by
the announcement of its inability to pay
It trfing loss of a few hundred dollars,
upon proof thereof being presented

AnInicresting "Reminiscences.

Many years ago. an accomplished Vir-
gina Lieutenant, who had just graduated
at the Military Institute at West Point,
was given the command at Fort Hamil-
ton. below New York City. He em-
rioyed Il young German blacksmith, to
work with others in the Fort. whom he
noticed to be not only skillful, but unusu-
ally industrious and economical. Both
belonging to the Masonic fraternity,
they frequently met on the level and
parted on the square" Feeling much
interested for his friend and pr9tege,
the Lieutenant advised him to take his
money. go,West, and invest his sinners
IN real estate. where it would probably
add to his fortune. or, =. least, make HIM
y home in after years. The advice was
taken. Gathering all his earnings to-
gcther. he placed them in leather belt
about his person, and started alone on
foot. for that Eldorado Of the poor man
the Western States. FoOt-sore and
weary after travelling over mountains
and through valleys, he came to Craw-
ford county, Ohio, and purchased the
iand-then low, wet and covered with
