Raising of the EurYdiee.'

Our readers will remember the account published
some months ago of the laundering Of the English
Frigste Eurydice within an hours sail of her home
port, only two of her crew escaping, out Of q total Of
$50 men. She has recently been raised from her
watery grave, the difficult work having been per-
formed in the following manner:
Hawsers. seven and eight inches in diameter,
carried by four vessels, were attached to the wreck
by divers, and then by pumping some 1000 tons Of
water into the four vessels they sunk 10 the requisite
depth of five feet. A Popof sir-bag, an immense
tuIret ship, fastened by wire cables. TO act as tug,
and a fotilla Of small craft, took part in the resurrec-
ton. Divers were sent down 10 see that 50 all the
elaborate arrsn gements Of Jewel ropes and toggles
were in good trim,'' and then at the signal, every
hswser was drawn taut, the pumps set to work to
tighten the ug vessels of the water previously
pumped into en-, and, as they rose, the g great
drowned ship" began to rise too, and finally q ring
ing cheer announced the Eurydice free. She had
gone down just an hours distance from the land.
Between the decks lay the remains Of the crew all
strewn with sea-weeds and shells.
The Eurydice was launched at Portsmouth in
lS43, and soon acquired the reputation of being one
of the swiftest cruisers in the navy. She had been
almost rebuilt in 1877, and was one of the hand
soonest ships of the navy. Never before, remarks the
Louisville Courier-Journal, was SO vast a weight
raised such q depth in the face Of such difficulties Of
situation and tide. The work was accomplished un-
der the direction and managemer' mir 80

HE observation-disclosures Jennie Claus concert
last Saturday night proved all that the public anti
cipated-and a great deal more. Her excellent and
mastery rendering of the difficult music Of Vieux-
temps and Wienawski excited the surprise and IN
bounded admiration of the audience, and called forth
the most fattering applause and repeated encores.
There is, in our community, n great deal Of musical
talent OF a high order, and which has been carefully
cultivated. People of this class are not easily de-
ceived as to the merits Of an artistic who appears
before them, and at this concert Madame Claus took
them by storm. We need not say more, for this fact
covers the whole ground. The amateurs, Miss
AyIet and Miss Hensgen, who assisted in the con-
cert, received marked appreciation, and Berger's
String Orchestra, by their excellent playing, added
to the qualification Of the audience, showing the
careful training they have received at bis hands. We
hope Madame Claus may be induced to favor the
lovers of good music with frequent opportunities to
admire her transcendent ability, for she need have
no fear that she will ever play to a thin house.
New MoDE OF LIFE ISsURAxcE-The following
indicates q great and radical change in the manner
of conducting Life Insurance, and If generally
adopted by companies engaged in the business, is
sure to superse1e the system now in operation. 1t
is apparent that the success Of the proposed change
will depend altogether upon the prudence and sound
discretion with which the investments are made:
The principle of life insurance Is about to be
subjected to a fresh experiment. Hitherto intend
ing insurers have had to run the gauntlet Of an
examination by the medical adviser Of the life
Office and if accepted as healthy have then had to
bear through their remaining years the burden Of
the yearly premiums. But now all this is to be
altered. There are TO be 10 medical certificates
nor yearly premiums. The only requirements are
the applicants own declaration that be Is in his
ordinary state Of health and Of a certain age, which
must not be under twelve nor above fifty years,
and a single small money payment which Is TO be
nothing more nor less than q share in a bank,
with the only difference that the dividends, instead
of being paid half-yearly, viii be funded or re-invest-
