A Walking Pincushion.

A curious story is told of Gen. G. A.
Evans OF Augusta, Ga. At the battle of
Monocacy, Md, while leading his brigade
in battle, he was struck in the left side by
a minnie ball. The ball passed through
his arm, and thence through his body. In
ploughing through his coat pocket 1t tore
through paper of pins, burying some of
them in his flesh. For the past few months
he has been troubled with pain about a
foot from the wound. A week or two
since lump about as large as a pigeons
egg was'raised on the spot where the pain
was most severe. A few days ago three
or four pins worked out of this lump, and
it disappeared at once. Thus for eleven
years Mr.. Evans has been walking pin
cushion. baltimore SIM.

INSURANCE.

Perhaps there is no subject in which the
people are so generally and directly inter-
ested, and yet so little informed relative to,
as insurance. The courts, however, are,
from time to time, considering questions
arising on policies of insurance and defin-
ing the mutual relations sustained by the
insurer and insured, and while giving to
the insurer every benefit that he is entitled
by his contract, yet by disregardlng forced
and unnatural. yet possibly literal, con-
structions thereof, sacledy guarding the
interests of the insured and seeing 10 it
that, If possible, their well founded expec-
tations-those for which they paid their
money-may not be defeated upon some
technical bubble. Surely no questions
could arise which would appeal more forci-
bly, to an intelligent and upright judge than
those raised upon some technical point by
an insurance company to defeat a recovery
by widow and infant children on pol
icy issued to husband and father in his
life time and which consoled him, in his
dying moments, with the thought that he
was not leaving those most dear to him to
the cold charities of the world or TO de-
feat recovery on a policy which is the
main dependence of a man, who believes
that he has strictly fulfilled every required
provision, for the means wherewith to
commence business again.
Strictly speaking, however, the courts
have nothing to do with these considera-
tons, no matter how much they may ap-
peal to the better feelings of the individual
members of the court. They have only
the contract-that is the policy-and the
facts before them, and to these they must
apply the law as they find it. They can,
however, and they do, give merciful con-
struction to the contract, take common
sense view of the facts and apply the law
as humanely as may be. To the honor of
American insurance companies be it said,
that very few, If any, are found who seek
to save the payment of money on bubbles
or to defrsud the party interested in the
policy. Once in a while, perhaps such
company may be found, but we can al
ways find almost an excuse for their action
IN the number of fraudulent attempts made,
by pretended deaths or supposititious losses
of property, to dishonesty obtain money
from them. Our insurance companies, as
class, are model institutions, and must be
protected against frauds, must have their
rights strictly defined and understood, and,
