insurance and Murder.

ffem the y I. herald OF saturday.
Insurance on ships threatens to be
come premium for murder on ter
ribly eIscnsive scale. There is no
reason to believe that in the case Of
the Mosel and the fiend Thompson we
are done with = crime that contem-
plates two hundred lives as trivial OBJ
stacles to a great gain. 1t is known
that many ships have been successful
y sent to the bottom for the sake Of
the insurance. II is known that =
scheme precisely like this, planned
against passenger steamers some years
ago, failed only through the timely
remorse Of a party 10 the projected
crime. 1t Is not known, unfortunate
ly, what was the precise fate Of sever
magnificent steamers that sailed on
the Atlantic voyages and never reach
ed port, and on which, presumably,
the Insurance was regularly paid; but
in the light IT this Moscl story one
more painful conjecture has to be
added to the many attempts to pene-
trate the mystery Of the catSstrophes
in which they went down. II is in
accordance with the operations Of the
human mind that the indication OF q
new crime dcvelopes criminal readi-
ness as extensively as imitation is de-
veloped by the indication of any other
new direction of human activity
That new series of acts is criminal
not only does deter from their pursuit
but with many adds a charm to it;
while if they are seen to be the posi-.
Bile source of great gain they will be
practised with the same diligent accu-
racy that is given to any other nefari-
GUS occupation. With many men life
is as much war in condition of civil
ization as it ever was in state of ma
ture, and they contemplate as fair any
means that gains for them the final
| victory OF a great fortune Thompson
is only savage of modern life, ready
| to kill all who stand to him in the
light of enemies: and all are enemies
who stand between him and his scheme
1t is therefore to be contemplated as
one of the possibilities Of the time that
| there will be an epidemic of these
otfenses. How shall we guard against
lit? How shall we do what we NAV To
make safe the lives Of passengers?
They must te separated from insured
\ freight. 1t is the insurance that
tempts tn the crime, and that tempta,
ton must be taken out of any ship in
which passengers are sent to sea. Ii
will, we fear, be found indespensably
necessary in all the commercial coun,
tries to provide by law that no passen
gers shall be taken on any ship thai
carries insured freight. Passenger
ships and freight bearing ships mus,
be separate, or if freight is carried or
passenger ships its association with
the vast cargo CT human life must be
regarded as the sole guarantee of ii:
safety.

In the rush of early morning,
When the red burns through tho gray,
And the win try world lies aiting
For the glory OF the day.
Then we hear htful Jstli1g
just without upon the stair,
see two small white phanto ms coming,
Catch tho gleam Of sunny hair.
Are they Christmas fairies stealing
Rows OF little socks to fill
Are they angels floating hIthcr
With their message OF goodwill?
What sweet spell are those elves weaving
As like larks they chirp and sing;
Are these palms OF peace from heaven
That these lovely spirits bring;
S)sy feet upon the threshold.
Eager faces pCeping through,
With the ilrst red ray of sunshine
Chanting chcrubs come in view
hissletoe and & canning holly,
symbols of a blessed day.
In their ciuO by hands they c2r4y,
Streaming all along the way
Well we know them, never weary
OF this innocent surprise;
waiting, watching, listening always
With full hearts and tender eyes,
While our little household angels,
White and golden n the sun
Greet us with the sweet old welCom-
merry Christmas every on = -

81

Refusal of "a Catholic Priest 10 Bury n
Child W no had Attended n Protestant
school.
Quite a number of residents of New
port, X. l., are somewhat indignant
because the Catholic priest, the Rev.
Philip Grace, of st. MaIy's church re-
fused to ofliciatc at or permit the re-
mains of a daughter of Manuel De
Fray, who died there few days ago,
to be brought to the church for the
purpose of having the usual burial
service performed. He also refused
to oiliciate at the house of the deceased
the reason being that the child was
permitted to attend the Protestant
school. In consequence of this deci-
sion the body has been placed in the
vault of the Protestant Cemetery to
await further developments. No SER
vices have been held Us yet, although
the girl died on Friday. It is rumor-
ed that Protestant clergyman will
be called in TO conduct the fuuel al
services. 1t is d positive fact that the
friends of the family have reccomend-
ed such n step to be taken.

A NEW PIN.

\ new pin was exhibited, at the late
American Institute New York, which

Possioillty OF its working out of the
fabric N which it is placed. 1t is made
of piece of ordinary wire sharpeued
at both ends. One extremity is then
turned down and wound spirally for a
couple ofturns about the shank. When
the pin is inserted, a slight twist given
to the bent end causes the sharp point
on the spiral to catch and enter the
cloth. The inventor has not only de-
vised the pin, but some very ingenious
machinery for its manufacture One
apparatus cuts off the wire, sharpens
the ends, and throws the piece into a
hopper, whence it passes into another
machine which produces the spiral
The rate of production of the pins is
about two hundred per minute. NJ
Il. W. Huston, of Brooklyn, is the
inventor.
