On the following morning the cashier
entered the handsome store of Huntley
& Warner, and inquired for the head
clerk. He came obsequiously.
.' Sir" said the cashier s,ernly, :" is
that bad note
"I-I think not, sir" stamneringly
replied the clerk
The cashier went to the door. From
his carriage stepped young girl in com
panv with his daughter.
Did you not tell this young lady, my
ward, that this note was counterfeit? +?
And did you not so far forget self-reSpeet
and the interest of your employers g. 10
offer an insult?'
The man stood confounded-he dared
not deny-he could say nothing for him
self.
If your employers keep you, sir, they
will no longer have my custom" said the
cashier sterBly. " You deserve to be
horsewhipped !"
The firm parted with their unworthy
clerk that very day. and he left the store
disgraced, but punished justly.

law of the good cashier. All of which

THE u. .. SUPREME COURT DE
CEENE& SEVERAL ENHE1OES-
FAINT INSURANCE
CASES.
Extracts from the Opinions of Ihe
Judges.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The following
important opinions in several large insur-
ance cases were delivered by the Supreme
Court to-day:
New York Life Insurance Co., VS..
VIM. c. Statham and Parmelia ct. al,
formerly Statham appeal from circuit
ern district of Mississippi.
The New York Life Insurance Co,
plaintiff in error, VS.. Charlotte Semmes,
in error to the circuit court of the United
States for the Southern district of Missis-
sippi.
The Manhattan Life Insurance Co.
plaintiff in error, VS.. +. s. Buck, exec
utor of Chaales l.. Buck, deceased in
error to the circuit court of the United
States for the Southern district of Missis-
sippi.
The points decided are as follows !;
A policy of Life Insurance stipulatng
for the payment of an annual premium
by the assured with condition to be
void on non payment, is not an insurance
from year to year like a common fire pol
icy, but the premiums constitute an
annuity, the whole of which is a consid-
Grafton for the entire assurance for life
and the condition, subsequent making
void the policy by its on-performance ;
but the time of payment in such policies
is material and of the essence of the con-
tract, and a failure to pay involves an
absolute forfeiture which cannot be re.
heved against in equity. If a failure
to pay the annual premium by the inter
vention of war between the territories in
which the insurance company and the
assured reside, which makes it unlawful
for them to hold the insurance, the poll
cy is nevertheless forfeited, if the compa-
ny inss: ON the condition but in such
a case the assured is entitled to the
equitable value of the policy arising
from the premiums actually paid.
This equitable value is the difference
between the cost of new policy and the
/ present value of the premiums yet to be
paid on the forfeited policy when the for
FIXTURES occurred, and may be received in
/ equity. The doctrine of revival of con-
tracts suspended during the war is one
based on considerations of equity and
Justice and cannot be invoked to revive
a contract which it would be unjust or in
equitable to revive, as where time is of the
| essence Oh tie CONTRACT, OF the pdTlIes
cannot be made. In equity the average
age Of mortality is the fundamental basis
of assurance, and this is subverted by
giving to the assured the option to revive
their policies or not after they have beer
suspended by war. Since none but the
sick and dying would apply, it would be
unjust to compel n revival against the
company. Mr.. Justice Bradley deliv
cred the opinion of the court
The insured parties lived in Missis-
sippi, and were prevented from paying
their premiums in consequence of the
war.
The above opinion was concurred in b,
Justices SWayne, Miller, Davis, FielC
and Bradley. There were four member
of the court who dissented.

Speech.

Memphis Appeal.l
GRENADA, October 23.-To-day has
proved a day long to be remembered by
the citizens of our county, both white
and black. A joint discussion had been
agreed upon between our fellow-citizen
Hon. w Z. Barksdale and Judge Ware,
Chairman of the Republican State Exec
utive Committee, but as usual with all
sich, Ware did not put in his appearance,
but in lieu thereof wrote to Captain
Barksdale two letters apologizing for not
complying with his agreement, saying
that George E. Harris would meet
him to-day Our big White Oak read
these letters to the large crowd of as
sembled voters, both white and black, and
it was unanimously decided that they
betrayed upon the face of them Judge
Wares fears-as well as of others of his
party-to meet Capt. Barksdale in fair
field and in an honest discussion of the
issues of the day. The beauty of it was
that the country Loured in its clubs of
both white and black. a larger crowd
has not before been assembled In our
city during the present campaign. The
result was as previously expected Our
own proud and gallant w. r. Barksdale
had the field ali to himself. The voters,
both colored and white, gave him close
attention, and, judging from the oft ap-
proving cheers, his eloquent and argu-
mentative speech thoroughly exhausted
all the questions involved, both national
and local, in our commonwealth inter
est He poured the red-hot shot of
truth, reform, economy, honesty and
governmental reformation into their
ranks for the space of two and half
hours, from the results of which we con
| fdentIy anticipate the best of conse-
! quences. The colored people all over
the country are opening their eyes, and
you can count to-day on Grenada county
as being safe for Tilden, Hendricks nnd

and into many a house he enters and
looks into the closet and into the meal
tub. and he takes his seat by the side of
the fire, if there be a fire if none, by the
cold hearth stone, and then he takes his
seat at the table between the husband and
the wife, between the parents and the chill
dren, and he is not cheering. Why 1t
is the hard story of proverty and suffer
