THE Paris correspondents are beginning to
call attention to the fact that Marshal Mac
Mahon never used his official title as Presi-
dent during bis whole term. He appears to
have been ruled by his wife, who was Legi-

is singular that the man hims elf could have
been so obtuse as to ignore his own elevation.

INSURANCE
THE
VANTAGE
OF HAVING A
Maine NOn-fOr eiture Law Policy
IN THE
Union Mutual Life Ins. Co,
OF MAINE.

In 1864 and 1865, Capt Charles L Gardiner of Chel-
sea- Mass, 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 were paid annually, according to the terms of
the contract.
On the I'd dayof July, 1871 Capt. Gardiner had his
policies changed to the form now used by the Com
pany, which gives the benefit of the Maine Non-for
feituIe Law.
On the 11th day of September 1877, he called from
Boston as master of the good ship "Iceand" on
voyage to Calcutta The ship and all on board were
lost at sea. The premiums due July 27, 1877, and
August 8, 1877, not paid, and by the terms of
the original policies this would have worked a for
teiture of the entire insurance; but under the new
policies which had been gratuiteusly 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 being
tabshed to the satisfaction of the company the full
amount of the policies was paii on the goth day Of
October, s78.
