"Some of our Vermont exchanges are
called upon to explain why the Central
Vermont railroad property is not relieved
" from the embarrassment Of receiver
" ship and thereby render "glad" the
heart of the anxious enquirer. 1t is stated,
in connection with the query, that when
the road "was saved from bankruptcy" it
was upon "the distinct understanding" that
it should be SO relieved. Not being in the
confidence or secrets of either side of the
controversy, we do not feel called upon
for reply, but, being one "of our Yer
mont exchanges, we will venture sug-
gestion. First, we might be justified in
saying that the Central Vermont has never
been under "thc embarrassment of re-
ownership" the embarrassment" under
which it labors is that of being itself the
receiver-but this might look like choppng
logic, and we will not say SO, although it
would be true in fact. The "distinct I'M
Outstanding" was had, as we are told, "last
September" and we might suggest that dis
cordant clements had existed, from that
time until two or three weeks ago, in the
board of direction of the receivers, to such
an extent as to hinder, If not prevent, the
Vermont Central railroad propertY-not
the Central Vermont-from being "relieved
- from the embarrassments of receiver,
" ship"-but that might be considered I'M
charitable. But it is significant fact-ant
the fact might have been ascertained by
reading THE GLoBE-that since the annua
meeting, and with harmonious board o
directors, proceedings have been com
menced by the Smith board, SO called
asking that the trust may be closed, and
petition to that effect will be heard by tn
court of chanceIy Thursday. With thes
suggestions, we yield the floor to other
"of our Vermont exchanges"

A Youthful Elopement from Albany

The Albany Journal gives the following
account of the elopement of young couple
from that city, whose intimacy has not
been suspected to exist beyond mere
speaking acquaintance: ''The young gen
tleman in question is the son of promi.
nent State street business man, who resides
on the hill while the young lady, yet in
her teens, is the daughter of wealthy citi-
zen residing on Madison avenue, in the
vicinity of the Cathedral. She has been in
attendance during the present term of one
of our leading female educational insttu-
tions, and was expected to graduate during
r.-----. ---O.-,' 10 just VtrglDg on
seventeen, and is as fair and lovely in face
and form as she is sweet and gentle IN her
disposition. The young gentleman was a
general favorite with his family and
friends. 1t appears, according to the cur
rent rumor, that Sunday the discovery was
mnde that both had left the city. The
young lady had been absent from home
during Thursday night, and an examina-
ton of her apartment by her distressed
relatives brought to light farewell letter,
in which she informed them she had been
married to the young gentleman referred
to since October last, and had gone with
him to seek home elsewhere. Inquiry
substantated the truth as to their flight,
but beyond that all is not SO clear. The
young lady, it is said, has been educated in
the Catholic faith, while her young lover
is Protestant. The friends of both par
ties are much grieved over the affair, and
steps have already been taken to search
out and induce the fugitives to return
home. They are supposed to have gone ia
New York, and from thence into New
Jersey. The affair furnishes a subject OF
much comment, and gives the gossips a
| fruitful theme to descant upon"

TREASURY THEFTS.

The recent disappearance of large
package of five hundred dollar greenbacks
from the national treasury, has induced
Secretary Bristow to issue an order prohib-
ting the admission of visitors to the bureau
of printing and engraving, the treasury
vaults, or to any other place in the depart
ment where money is kept or handled. If
this meets the case, which is more than
doubtful, 1t would be good deal like lock-
ing the stable door after the horse was
stolen. if it were not for the fact that there
were several other horses Of the same color
yet remaining uniilched. But does 1t meet
the case +? The detectives believe that the
money will be recovered, although, as yet,
they have No clue to 1t, and are said to
have expressed the opinion that there is nc
satisfactory evidence that the thief was al
employe of the department, but that they
are inclined to believe that the money was
taken by some outsider who had access tc
the cash room. No facts are stated to jus
tfy this belief, and it stands, therefore, al
mere theory, only substantial enough t.
base the secretary's order upon. On thu
other hand, General Spinner, the treasurer
saws that the most rigid investigation ha
failed to remove the blame from the office
and he does not understand how an outsider
could have effected the robbery unless HI
had the active or passive assistance of SOM
employe of the department

Modern Psalmody.

A Presbyterian minister recently deliv-
cred lecture in London on "Congrega-
tional Psalmody," in which he referred to
the incongruities that occur In present di-
visions of repetition lines. For instance !:

vided, "Love Thee bet-;" "Well catch
the fleeing hour" was sung Gwen catch
the fee.;" "My poor polluted heart be.
came "My poor poll" "And take Thy
pilgrim home" was "And take Thy pill
"And in the pious He delights" became
"And in the pi-;' and "Send down saliva

a mani" and the chorus responded "Of
for mansion IN the skies" In one cast
the soprano modestly sang, "Teach me t.

me to kiss" while the bass rendered !
quite prosaic by singing, Teach me Il

Corrections on Proofs Sent Through

The assistant attorney general for the
postoffice department has given the follow

which authors and publishers should be
permitted to maize correction OF proof
sheets which are sent through the mails.
without subjecting them 10 IA higher rate
of postage than is charged on mailable

Il am of opinion that the law should
not be construed so as to limit the
corrections to be made to them of typo
graphical or merely verbal nature, SUCH as
the use of wrong letters, nor to the exclu-
sion of any new matter which the author
may desire to insert, in order to put the in

Suicide and Insurance.

The court of appeals of Maryland, sit
ting at Annapolis, has decided the case of
the Knickerbocker life insurance company
aginst Magdalena Peters, under an appeal
of the colnpany from decision of the
lower court. The company defends its ac-
ton under the clause in the policy which
makes it void 'if the assured shall die by
his own hand or act" The court says it IS
now too well settled to admit Of question,
that the clause is not TO be construed as
comprehending every possible case in
which life is taken by the persons own act.
For instance, all the authorities concur in
the view that an unintentional or accident
al taking of life is not within the meaning
and intention of the clause. Thus, If, by
inadvertence or accident person shoots
himself or takes poison by mistake, or in a
sudden frenzy or delusion tears bandage
| from a wound and bleeds TO death, in the
| literal sense of the term he dies by his own
act yet all the decisions agree that rea-
| sonable construction of the proviso, accord
ing to the plain and obvious intention of
| the parties, would exclude such party
| from its operation. The act of self-de-
struciion in this case was by hanging, and
the court instructed the jury that the clause
| in question would not prevent recovery il
| found from the evidence that the deceased
killed himself in fit of insanity which
oyerpowered his consciousness, reason and
will, and he acted from a mere blind and
uncomfortable impulse, and that they are
satisfied he died by his own hand. 1t be-
comes the duty OF the plaintiff on her part
to offer proof sufficient to prevent the OPP
Grafton of the clause and she does moi
comply with such exigency by proof di
recty that he was insane at times. She
must prove that he was insane at the tint
the act was committed, and in the absence
of proof of his condition at the precis,
time when the act was committed, the jury
must presume he was then sane, and they
cannot draw an inference that he was in
sane from the fact that he destroyed hi
own life. These instructions, say thu
judges. state the law more explicitly anc
more favorably for the insurer than i
found in any OF the American authorities
to which they have referred, or to which
their attention has been called in argument
The court says, In effect, that when tn,
act of self-desruction is done during in
sanity it Is death by accident. Thu
, judges have examined the record in tn,
case, and cannot say that there was no evi
dcnce legally sufficient to authorize jur,
to infer and find that the deceased kille,
himself in fit of insanity. The judgmen

Take Out a Patent for it,

General Hayes, whom the Ohio republ
cans have Just nominated for governor, is
not only brave soldier and capable
statesman, but he is also man of very
delicate sense of humor. He was not at
the convention but at home playing foot
ball with the boys, when the nomination
and platform reached him. His gray eyes
must have twinkled when he read that
plank which imperatively demandsa change
in the patent laws. BY the way, before the
patent laws are changed, we suggest to the
Ohio republicans TO take out a patent for
their puff of the president as capable
and judicious statesman" We should like
them to have monopoly of that phrase,
tor If it should be generally and freely used
by other republican conventions 1t nigh,
lose the party the mex. presidential election.

The Latest Planets.

DR.. Peters, in n communication 10 tne
Utica Herald announcing his discovery of
Friday morning, expresses the opinion that
he discovered two planets instead of one.
He writes: "The second object is not far
from the first, in II hours 10 minutes OF
right ascension, and IN 90 degrees 3 min
utes of south declination. 1t is only of the
twelfth magnitude, and, as daylight was
intervening, l could not make sure of its
motion and its planetary nature, though
the absence of any indication of star upon
my chart in that position makes it rather
probable the next night will decide it,"
