In 1864 and 1865. Capt Charles L Gardiner Of Chel-
sea, Mas, insured in the Union Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company Of Maine, for $1,000. on two ordinary
Life Policies, payable at death provided the prem
iums paid annually, according to the terms of
the contract.
On he I'd day of July, 1871, Capt. Gardiner had his
policies changed to the form now used by the Com
pany, which gives the benefit Of the Maine MONITOR
feituIe Law.
On the 1lth day of September, 1877 he sailed from
Boston as master of the good ship "Iceland" on a
voyage to Calcutta. rbe ship and all on board were
lost at sea. The premiums due July II, 1877 and
August 8, 1877 were NOT paid, and by the terms
the original policies this would have worked for
feture of the entire insurance; but under the new
policies which d been gratuileusy offered by the
company, the insurance would have been continued
in force more than three years, until November,
1880, notwithstanding the non payment of the prem
iums due in 1877; and the fact Of the death beng es-
tsbsoed to the satisfaction of the company, the full
amount of the policies was pail on the 29th day q
October, 87S.

Something from Texas.

Some great writer has said that the
civilization and standing of nations can
be judged by their laws. This may be
true as far as it goes, but it does not
go far enough. for many of our North.
ern States have wise laws; but unfor-
tunately they are not always enforced
there. This is partially true Of Texas.
1 have given the matter careful con-
sideration and find that the constitu.
ton and laws arc good; but l am sorry
to say that they are not always prompt.
ly executed, and hence life and proper
ty are not as we'll protected as they
mightbe This | will say, however.
the tone Of the public press, and the
sentiment eff the substantial citizens is
healthy and sound, and this of itself
will correct the present state OF affairs
in due time. The laws in reference to
homestead rights and the rights of wo-
men arc very liberal, and are all in
favor Of the poor man.
Every alternate section of land is
reserved for school purposes, and this,
If wisely and honestly managed, will
sustain the public schools Of the State
for all time to come. But while it is
true that we have an ample school
fund, it must be admitted that our
schools at present are not what they
should be-model places of public in
structiop. 1t cannot be expected that
new States or countries will excel 10
schools, art science or literature in the
early stages of their existence, for We
must first supply food, clothing, shell
ter, etc., and from our surplus earn.
| ings by-aud-by establish fine schools.
colleges and charitable institutions.
At present it is apparent that what We
are most deficient in is system, order,
training and preparation. Of teachers.
In this age of extravagance. debt,
waste bankruptcy and high taxation,
it is pleasant to fud a Stats whose
debt is small and taxation light. The
whole debt of Texas is less than S.
900, 900. and the constitution limits
State taxation to oue-fourth Of one
per cent on the 500 Of assessed valu-
alton. This question Of debt and tax
alton is one Of importance to immi-
grants, and one that is not always
carefully examined. In this respect
Texas will compare favorably with the
Western States.
Next comes the important question

these / must leave. for another letter

A No.LEGGED HUMBUG.


The "no.legged Union veteran" whose
dismissal from his position as doorkeep
er of the Senate has created a howl O.
agony from the Republican organs, ap
pears to have been bounced for very ex
cellent reasons. The Washington Post
says:
"The indications are that he set out To
play the role Of martyr, in the hope that
he might thus aid the Republican party.
In the first place he refused to perform
the duties of the place he bad held un-
der the old regime, because it was too
hard He was then given the very cas-
lest of all the places under the Sergeant
alarms. He was only required to sit,
during sessions, at the front of one of
the private stairways for Senators. He
again complained, saying it was too
damp on that floor for him. Many of
the most important committee rooms
the refectory and stationery department,
are on the same floor, yet nobody ever
discovered the excessive dampness ex.
cept Wilson. LASTLY he was placed at
the west door of the Senate, and required
only to sit at the door, not to carry in
cards. He didn't like that place either,
and without stopping to make complaint
to his superior, left for his home, saying
be didn't care to be under the d-n reb.
el Senate anyway He left while Con-
gress was in session, and having aban.
doned his post so unceremoniously, an
other man was put in his place."

THE FUTURE OF INvEN ION.

The Atlantic Monthly for August has
an interesting article on the future OF
,invention. We make clipping or two;
"In our recent national phenomena
there is no other fact 30 significant, so
startling, as the prodigious increase Of
inventions, both in their number and in
their influence over business and daily
life. Within the past ten years far more
patents have been issued than during all
our previous history, although the for
mer period is more than half made up OF
our most prolonged and serious comher-
cial crisis, while the latter includes near
ly every prosperous season that we have
ever known, Could the hard times ma
terially soften, we might expect such a
rush of new improvements as would
resemble the bursting of a torrent thro'
an ice gorge. But even as matters are, with
an aggregate Of more than two hundred
thousand patents (mostly recent and a
weekly issue filling a ponderous printed
volume, we cannot but feel ourselves in
the presence Of growing force, which is
not to be estimated, and which is assur-
edly the greatest factor of modern life"
"AlreadY nearly all other Interests
have begun to cluster around invention.
1t is a matter Of common remark that
most of the capital of the country is
somehow bound up in patents, or drift
ing toward union with them. They raise
or lower the value of farm lands and city
lots. The great railroad arteries pulsate
under their pressure from end to end
The manufacturer who ignores them I'M
vites speedy ruin. The merchant sells
under them. The farmer, the mechanic,
the miner, all work for them or by their
authority. They constitute the most lu-
crative branch of legal practice. Vast
sums are continually changing hands in
the litigation upon them. They have
probably made and unmade more for
tunes than all other agencies combined
Even in our seven great grain growing
States Of the Northwest, from Ohio to
Minnesota, the aggregate value of the
manufacturing interest was shown by the
last census to exceed the aggregate value
Of the agricultural interest by about sew.
enty-six millions of dollars; and nearly
all of the former sum Is said to be in.
vested in or employed under recent pat.
ents. No doubt the excess would be
much more at the present day. A COM
petent witness recently declared that it
would require population of nine mil.
lions, without machinery, to do what the
State of Massachusetts, is doing to day
this, when factories have lain idle for
three years and more at Amesbury, and
all over the State only small proportion
of them have been working full force and
full time Perhaps we cannot better re.
alize the situation than by considering
for moment the effect of a sudden abo.
lition of this complex artificial system
which we have built about us. The com
fiscation of half the real estate of the
country would hardly be a more stagger.
ing blow to vested interests and settled
order. ......e

A ROMANCE AMONG THE REDS.


There passed down on the train the
other day, says the WinOna Mimi Re-
publican, an aged but smart looking lady
between sixty and seventy years Of age,
whose dark complexion unmistably be-
tokened Indian origin, and naturally ex'
cited some curiosity. The lady was conn
municative, and told story filled with
romance. She was widow, with an
only son living in Connecicut. Her
boy grew to be young man, ,'and, filed
with love of adventure, he forsook the
parental roof and came west. His rov.
ings at last led him to Bismarck, Dakota
Territory, where he became interested
with Indian traders, and finally married
the daughter of chief, the fruit of the
union being one child. ega
At length, In an engagement with hos
tiles, the man was killed. The sad news
In due time reached his mother. She
was almost overwhelmed with grief
With true maternal affection she at once
resolved to search for her sons child,
and, If possible, find in it an object upon
which she might bestow her care and
mothers love. Forthwith she jouEneyed
to Minnesota. The.dificulties in the
way formed no barrier TO her New Eng
land energy. Her diligent inquiries
along the Northern Pacific Railroad soon
brought to her acquaintance man who
had known her son. For $50 he offered
to find the equaw who had been her
sons wife. Without, going into details
of the search it is enough to saygthat
the tribe of Indians was found, and the
souaw and child. When the lady first
saw her grandehild, she thought she
could discern in his features a resemb.
lance to her son, but when the little one
was in the midst of number of Indian
children, 1t was hard to discover much
difference. ~, r..r.Eg.l, & y ..,tl,..,f
Nevertheless, the grandma Of the little
half breed was bent on having him rear
