TWEED'S LIFE INSURANCE.
How His Daughter Lost $4,000 by His
Escape to Spain.
New York Times.

When William M. Tweed was at the
height Of his prosperity, in 1868, he took
q policy of insurance on his life from
the knickerbocker Life Insurance COM
pany. The instrument was issued on
the ten-year endowment plan. 1t was
drawn for the benefit of his daughters,
Josephene 5. Douglas and Jenny S.
Tweed, who were to receive the $4,000
in case of his death. If, however. he
should be alive Nov. !. 1873, he was to
be paid the endowment of$10,000. One
ofthe conditions of the policy was that
it should become void if Tweed should
take n sea voyage without the consent
OF the insurance company. A stipula-
ton indorsed ON the instrument de-
cared that if a default should be made
by Tweed or the beneficiarier under
tho policy, after the payment Of not less
than three annual premiums, the in
surunce company, upon the surrender
of the policy, would issue new policy
for IN amount proporticnatc to the
premiums paid. Tweed and his daugh-
tiers paid eight annual premiums of
81, 18090, and then defaulted. IN De-
CtliIutl, 1000 lWGCQ S6Guptd HUN
Sheriff Brennan's custody, and subse-
quentlv went across the Atlantic to
Vigo, Spain, where he was arrested.
After his death his daughters called on
the Knickerbocker Life Insurance COM
pany to take back the old policy, and to
issue to them paid-up policy for S.
600, the sum proportionate to the pre-
miums paid. The corporation refused
to issue new policy, and claimed that
the old one became void when Tweed
went across the Atlantic Mrs. Doug
lass and her sister sued the company in
the superior court, claiming that the
stipulation respecting the issuance of n
paid.up policy after the payment Of
three premiums was n separate con-
tract, to which they were parties, and
that it could not be vtiated by the vio-
lation by the insured person OF a condi-
ton in the policy. The case was tried
before Judge Freeman. in the superior
court, special term, and he decided in
favor of the defendant, holding that the
stipulation was not contract separate
from the policy. An appeal was taken
to the general term. which body recent.
ly affirmed Judge Freemans decision
and adopted his opinion as its own.

Freedom of speech is Il privilege
which is attended by some evils, and
hence must be to some extent circum-
scribcd by law. This is so in America,
where it has been learned that the less
it can be safely circumscribed the better
it is for the country. Probably the
only real restriction we have here at
present is the law against libel and
SANDER. In other countries there ii
more or less restraint. Japan found il
necessary. soon after the establishment
Ct the newspaper press was allowed, to
place that institution under restraint.
and now law is contemplated which
will regulate public speech. The Choya
Shinbim says that this results from the
foolish speeches Of conceited and reck-
less young students, void of all learning,
whose utterances really make no
impression. The same paper, however,
thinks that unless the government can
grant complete liberty to utterances
and can deal on some established prin-
ciple with those whom ii deems indis-
Greet, the PRONUNCIATION eta law similar
to those of France and Prussia is desir-
able. AZ matters stand, unnecessary
arrests are it times made, and, there

We English have derived the word sher-
ris or sherry. Here is hint for the
antiquarian diner-out. He can open
up magnificent field Of historical spec
ulation with the first glass Of Amontil-
lado, Immediately after the soup.
A CORRESPONDENT of The London
Builder, in recent account of his visit
to one of the mining districts of China,
thus describes the imperial tile manu-
factory at Lien Ii ku, about fifteen miles
west of Pekin: In this factory all the
yellow tiles and bricks required for i'm
perial buildings are made, as also large
numbers of green, blue and other col
ored tiles for various ornamental pur-
poses. The material used is hard
blue shale, nearly as hard as slate.
This is allowed to lie in heaps for some
time. 1T is then ground to powder by
granite rollers, on " stone floor thirty to
forty feet in diameter. The powder is
then stored in heaps and taken to the
works as required. For ordinary work
the powder Is mixed with proper pro-
portion of water and moulded into large
bricks, which are laid out to dry for
some hours, after which they are dealt
with by the modelers. When bricks
are to have molding on them, say for
coping wall, the plan Of operation is
as follows: Two pieces Of wood, each
cut to the shape of the molding, are
placed upright on a slab. The clay
brick is placed between them, and two
men run the holdings roughly along
with chisels. They then apply straight
edges to test the accuracy of their works
and finally rub the edges with moulds,
somewhat in the same way as plaster
ers make holdings at home. The brick
is then passed to third man, who cuts
any necessary holes in it, and to
fourth, who trims it off and repairs any
defect. The more ornamental tiles and
bricks, representing fabulous animals,
etc, are first roughly nodded, and after
ward finished off with tools exactly SIM
liar to those used for modelling in clay
in Europe. Some of this work has
some pretension to artistic merit. All
the tricks and tiles are baked in ovens,
and then, after having the glaze put on,
are baked u second time. All the work
done at this mandatory appears to he
iirst.rate, and the number of people
employed when they are busy is about
five hundred.

English and French bondholders. Mr..
Goschen, and 81. Joubert attempted an
adjustment Of the financial affairs Of
Egypt. Then followed, on a like err
rand, Mr.. Rivers Wilson. The plan sug'
gested by Mr.. Wilson and adopted ty
the khedive comprehended the cession
of the royal estates for the benefit of
creditors and the formation of a govern.
ment in which the important portfolios
of minister Of finance and minister
o. public works should be given, re-
spectively, to an Englishman and n
Frenchman, as representatives of the
bondholders. The government formed
in accordance with this programme
consisted oil Mr.. Wilson, NJ. de Big
nieres, with NlIbar Pasha-seemingly
the only man in Egypt at the present
day who is both honest and able--as
Premier. Had the scheme Of financial
reform OF which this government was
the prophet been permitted fair trial,
il is possible that Egyptian credit might
in time have been fe-cstabllshed, and
the Khedive enabled to carry on-more
moderately, but TO Il better end-his
policy of internal improvement. But
the scheme was obnoxious to the court
coterie at Alexandra--honcst admins
ration never has been well received by
Egyptian oilicials-and was fought tooth
and nail. The position occupied by
the Khedive certainly was u most hui
initiating one. He WIS under the orders
of foreigners and practically WAS with
out authority in his own dominions.
Those interested in securing return to
the old lavish ways made the most OF the
"insult" put upon him to urge him to
rebel; pointing also to the TACT that he
was born under lucky star and could
not come 10 harm. Stung by these
taunts, wretched i'll the kcenly appre-
ciated consciousness Of their truth, the
Khedive has trusted in the unquench-
able splcndor of his star and has set at
defiance the European powers alone
capable of sustaining him i'll his kingly
office.

DECEPTION IN C0FFEES.
How Poor Beans are Polished and Made
TO Cook First Rate.
Scientific American.


When coffee ratniled in its natural
condition, and roasted in small lots over
the kitchen fire, imperfect beans and inn
purities were picked out by hand. With
Wholesale roasting more expeditions
methods were necessary, and machines
were invented to do tho work with great
economy and dispatch. From tins nee
essary operation 10 tho invention OF pro-
cesses for polishing and coloring the in
ferior goods, to make them look like
prime coffee, was but n step. The poor
est grades of coffee were washed in col
ored water, and then treated to n course
of polishing with powdered soapstone,
which gave the beans the glossy and
lllnty appearance of iirst-rate coffee.
and covered up all defects. The natu-
ral result was to make NIL honest deal
ers suspicious Of polished Coilees,
though the need of machine cleaning
was in no way diminished tits posi-
Bile, however, TO have coffee cleaned
and polished by machinery, and ut the
same time be honest. BY this process
tho coffee il put into large cylinder
capable of holding eight or nine hun
bred pounds, the cylinder being lined
with heavy linen, and provided with
cleats to increase the friction, when
the beans are set in motion by tho rap
id revolution of the cylinder. At one
end of the cylinder are n number of
holes to admit air. and mt the other "
suction fan making about two thousand
revolutions n minute. The friction
loosens the dust and outer covering Of
the coffee, which impurities are carried
away by tho mir current set in motion
by the fan. After ten or fifteen min
utes Of this treatment the coffee IL wet
with pure water and the machine again
set in motion. The coffee is thus wash
ed and after half M hours securing
comes out entirely clean and much inn
proved in appearance by the polishing
IL has received. Coiloes which contain
much loose dirt and many broken beans
are subjected to II preliminary process
iii which the perfect beans are wlnnow-
ed clean, after which they are treated
as already described.

Singular End Of n Match.

Tho successive disablement Of the va
rious contestants for the London walk
ing match recalls the somewhat similar
ending Of rather singular match set
on foot some years ago by native
Prince of Northern India. A bear, a
lion, i tiger, bull and u horse belong
ing to one of the Rajah's mounted
guards, were turned into an Enclosure
together, and lett to fight it out. Bets
were naturally divided rs to the result,
but both the Rajah himself and his En-
glish guests were unanimous in betting
against the horse. The moment the
animals were left to themselves, the
tiger, creeping along the ground like u
eat, sprang ut the bulls throat, and
brought it down. The next moment
tie conqueror fell III his tIrn before
the rush Of the lion, though not with
out making fearful cash in the latter
flank with his fore paw. The bear and
lion then met, and the former, locking
his huge paw around the neck Of tine
enfeebled beast, stitled him with one
hug. Thus left master Of the field, the
bear next turned mis- attention to the
horse. which all this while had been
quietly grazing at little distance. The
latter, with one kick OF his formidable
hind hoofs, fractured two of the bears
ribs and broke his skull with the sec.
ond, the victory thus falling to the very
eombatant whom everyone thought
least likely to gain it, Patsbsrgh Isle
