College, and the gentleman from the
howery kingdom has already put in an
appearance, The advantage of this addi-
ton to a collegiate education are mani
fold and will be apparent to the dullest
parent when his young hopeful comes
home for the vacation and astonishes the
illiterate portion of the family by
amusing himself for pleasant hour or
two each morning studying the thrilling
literature of the tea chests at the corner
grocery. Decidedly nothing could add
more to the varied accomplishments of a
nice young man from college than to in
terrogate the laundryman in little
broken China, or interpret the Asian
hieroglyphics of the tea caddy to his
maiden aunt.

When Does the Liability of a
Policy-Holder in a CO-opera-
tive Life Insurance COM
pany Cease.
From the Chicago Tribune, July 31st, 1871
THE COURTS.
Policy. Holders in the PROTECTION
Will Please Pay Up.

In the bankruptcy case of the Protection
Life Insurance Company, the Receiver, E.
D. Cooke, filed a petition yesterday setting
out that it was necessary to make an assess
ment against the stockholders and policy
holders. After giving an account of the
peculiar manner in which the Company did
business, which finally ended in bankruptcy
about two years ago, the Receiver says the
liabilities Of the Company at the time Of its
failure were about $587 900, while the total
assets are only in the neighborhood of
$l0O,000 At the time the Receiver took
possession, there had been assessments for
$253, 900 made, and nearly all collected,
and there was still 1924 900 accruing on
death losses as to which no steps had been
taken for collection. By the terms of the
policy each policy-holder is liable for all
assessments accruing while his policy is in
force, and the receiver thinks this amount
or so much Of it as can be, should be col
! iicted. An order was made by Judge Blod-
gctt caiin,c on all the stock and policy y-hold-
ers to show cause the first Monday in Octo-
ber why the assessment cue before the
Company failed, August 9th, 1877, shouid
not be collected. Notice is to be given by
three weeks publication also, and by postal
card to the parties intrusted.

THE INvIoLABILITY OF CONTRACTS.

Happy Is the community whose mem
bers are thoroughly imbued with a sense
of the inviolable nature of a contract
Without this there always exists an I'M
certain condition of business relations be-
tween man and man and between the
members of the different professions and
their fellow men. In the language of a
distinguished member of the legal profess
sion, "it is very seldom, and sometimes
never" that the sacred nature of even a
verbal contract is so strictly regarded as
in case which very recently occurred at
Spoleto, Italy, Signor Marcucci, gen.
tleman of property, unimpeachable char
acter for integrity, as he has given good
proof, and of nigh position in community,
called on an eminent physician, DIR.
Domenicis, 10 attend his only son, who
was seriously i'll. Signor Marcucci pro-
posed to the doctor that if the
young man was cured he should
be paid 1000 francs, but that if, on the
other hand, the patient died the bereaved
father should kill the unlucky doctor.
DR.. d. assented to the proposition, by
implication at least, if not formally; for
he took the case in hand. The patient
died. Signor Marcucci proved to be a
gentleman who had high sense of the
obligation of contracts, and, therefore,
killed Domenicis. He was prosecuted
for thus carrying out simple contract,
and the Courts of Italy, with that utter
disregard of business obligations that
must be sustained in mercantile circles,
which is characteristic of the "effete mon
arches of the old world" condemned him
to five years imprisonment and to pay a
fine of 25,0O0 francs to the DOCTORS
widow.
Some jurists might claim that con-

tracts of this nature are void as being
contrary to public policy, like contract
to do an immoral act or an agreement
pot to do what the public good requires
to be done; but why shouldn't man,
and particularly doctor, and more par
ticularly gambler in stocks or Chicago
wheat dealer, have the privilege of stalk
ing his life on the hazard of another
life or on the value of ''puts and calls"
or the price of grain at some future day?
It's grave question for the Courts to
settle.

SPIRIT Or THE PRESS.


The Enquirer, alter remarkng that the
Democracy of New York will meet at SNra-
cuse on Wednesday next to put in nomin-
alton a Governor Lieutenant Governor and
other State officers, says there is a plain
line of duty before them. 1t says that the
men of both parties can not fail of admir-
inx and honoring Roscoe Conkling, to-day
the leader OF the Republicans, for his
plucky fight with the whole power OF the
Federal Government against him, with that
INSCRIPTIONS and adroit politician, John
Sherman, with an Influential faction
headed by Ex-Governor Fenton, Geo. VIM.
Curtis aud Thurlow Weed, all opposing.
against Conkling have been made by an in
significant faction of the Democratic party
of New York City. Some threaten if Rob-
inson. now Governor Of the State, is NOM
mated, that they will bolt the ticket. 1t
thinks Governor Robinson has performed
the duties of his office for three years with
faithfulness and deserves a denomination.
1t recommends Clarkson N. Potter for the
second place, and thinks with such ticket
the Democracy can not fail to win.-
The Enquirer, in presenting a speech
made by General Ewing on the 9Th at Gal
lipolis calls it mastery production and
inquiries whether resumption is worth the
sacrifice it brings.-It quotes Ewing's
speech to show that when laborers only get
SO cents per day for digging ore they are
not becoming opulent very fast; when coal
has been reduced twenty-five per cent.
within year it thinks coal miners will not
feel that wave of prosperity has come. 1t
shows from General Ewing's figures that
the expenditures of the Government, since
falling into Democratic hands, have fallen
from $180,O00, 900 in 1873, $194 1000, 900 in
1874, $l71 600, 900 in 1915 to $l44, 100000 in
1877 and $l3l, ,000,0 900 in 1878.
The Commercial goes into an elabora te
analysis of Gen. Ewings reply to Secretar-
les Schurz and Sherman and proceeds to
apologize for the Secretaries whom it claims
gave too much attention to the Generals
financial heresies, that the Commercial de-
clared were played out in Ohio before the
Secretaries arrival. 1t says that Ew-
ing in declaring that the Government
is responsible for the redemption OF
the bank notes in coin displays a
lack of understanding. 1t says that
the truth is 1.-The banks themselves must
provide the greenbacks for the redemption
of the bank notes, and that they are re-
deemable out of the resumption fund
which is the property of the banks" The
redemption of bank notes is out of the
fund owned by the banks and held by the
Government. 1t says that Ewing's attack
on the National Banking System is the
same old stupid nonsense that the ragtag
and bobtail fnanciers have been preaching
for years. AS Ewing presents it, it
is simply that the banking business be
taken out of the hands Of business men and
placed in the hands of politicians. 1t de-
clares that the amendments to the Consti-

1T seems from letter written by the

country are becoming greatly interested
in agricultural implements and machin-

,sfaction that large demands are likely

90, capable of producing excellent grain,
is said to have been practically untitled
from want of proper implements, or a
knowledge how to use them. The de-
