THE KNIGHTS oE HONOR.

In the New York Index for septem.
Der, and Insurance paper, this para.
graph appears:
The district attorney at Indianapolis has
begun proceedings to disband the order
known as the Knights of Honor, on the
ground that it is insolvent, ous Mrs. Johns
son having been unable to collect judg-
ment for $2, O6O obtained against the or
der under claim arising on the life of her
husband, who died while a member. It is
only question of time when this is also
added to the list of defunct co-operators.
During the yellow fever the Knights
OF Honor paid out $4,000 for $50
deaths of members which occurred in
the epidemic of 1878. The order has
levied special assessment of so cents,
raising $12, 900 or $4,000 for surviving
patients belonging to the order in Men,
phis. Not case in all the Southern
claims were protested. We have heard
of none any where through regular
channels. The case cited by the Index
may have some foundation in fact, but |
if the truth was known it would doubt |
less appear that there were sufficient !
and satisfactory reasons for withhold
ing the payment of the policy. 1t is
natural for writers in the interest of
jhe old Insurance companies to be
'wift to seize the slightest apparent
disturbance in the regular order to cry
'ut "insolvency' and create distrust.
But is such course either manly or
air? The order of the Knights of
Honor has performed u great good,
nd is rapidly growing in public conf
ence and usefulness, affording life in
urance to q moderate extent at far
ess cost than the regular insurance
and security very greatly
lperior to many of them. Of course
lere is danger that bad men may get
ontrol of its organization and pcrvert
s objects, but not SO much danger as II
iists i'll large number of so-called VI
egular Insurance companies. 1t is, for r
lie most part, composed of men who "
'e true to their name, and faithful -
Knights of Honor" and who would y
orn any sort of swindle.

CORRECTION,

In the article published last week
on the proposed Constitutional
Amendment, the following error ap-
pears: 1t is stated in the article as
published, that the election for the
successors to the present State officers
Will occur on Tuesday after the first
Monday in January 1880. The amend
ment does not provide for such an
electlon-but it does provide for a
general election OH the first Tuesday
after the first Monday of November, and
that is the election at which success
sors to the present State officers will
be elected, and that's what we intend
ed to say. The mistake consists in
the substitution of January for No
vember; but we presume every care
Iul reader would at once detect and
understand the error.

generally all the same to him.

To the Editor of the Comet:
A BAD SPECULATION.
WITH A MORAL TO IT--BY A, N. X.

There was man in ancient times
Who loved the chase and leisure;
The world to him sporting place,
Life's highest object pleasure.
The present ever in his mind,
The future tn ought Of never.
"Live while we live-our senses please,
The merriest is most clever"
This gay young man, (his fathers pride
And heir to his possessions,)
Curbed not his passions-ran the round
OF folly and. .transgr ession,
TIL one day, when weary grown
As festive youths are apt to,
He made trade-in Eudden mood
And all his birthright swept to
His'brother "a far wiser man
Who understood life's mission
For pottage-S poor pot Of soup.
That pleased his hungry vision.
Said he, by way of an excuse,
"I'll die if don't drink IT,
You've seen some folks just like him too,
Who may not say, but think 1t.
You find such fools about to-day
"Seize pleasure while it's flying,
We'll laugh away dun care," they say
There is no use of signing;
Religion may be good for those
Who walk life's humble by-ways,
We want the music and the dance
That 'livens up the highways"
Well, Esau drank his pottage down,
And smacked his lips contented-
Perhaps he took good long nap,
Nor of his trade repented.
Time wore along, his course he held
Still downward grsvitating
Still squandering what was truly good
For what was fascinating,
Till sense grew duh, and pleasure palled,
And conscience woke to chide him;
Too late he sought his course to change,
Repentance was denied him.

HUMORS OF THE BAR.
THE RISING INFLECTION.

1t was replevin for gray horse
forcibly taken from the defendant
The proof showed that the horse had
but one eye, and was about 12 years
old. The plaintiff claimed that he was
only nine years old, and valued him at
$125.
The question narrowed down to the
value of the horse, the taking by force
having been conclusively established.
The Attorney Maj. R, made a
strong appeal to the jury on this fea-
ture of his case in behalf of defendant.
"Now gentlemen," said he, "to say
that this fourteen years old horse is
worth 1926 is, it strikes me, preposter-
Gus. Doubtless he was at one time
worth that sum, but that was away
back in the prancing days of his colt
hood. He had evidently seen hard
service for there is no evidence that he
had black hair in his hide. He is
neither dapple nor festive now, and yet
for this sixteen years old horse this
plaintiff wants $125l There is another
point which the jury sh ould consider
in coming to concluaion as to his
value. In the course of his ups and
downs in life this old gray lost one of his
eyes, and there is no proof that the
other was sound. Now 1 appeal to you
farmers to say, upon your oaths, what
man ought to have for an old blind
gray horse eighteen years old"

He opened his oratorical raid OH the

good audience and a respectful hearing.
Then he dropped down to the Capital,
accompanied by Gen. West, the astrol-
oger. There was a radical pow WOW
going on at Edwards last Saturday,
and the local Greenbackers here con-
ceived the idea that big point might
be made by taking the Maine expound-
er down there. The experiment, how
ever, proved disastrous, as will be seen

another column. The champion Ma

le had an appointment in the Repre- |

Here he met with better treatment. |
