Sent Up for Christmas

In view Of the hallowed memories which
the hear. of civilized man does willing hon.
age to this morning, the reverse side of hu-
man nature is not pleasant thing to con-
template. Centuries ago when the morning
stars sang together and the lamps that be-
gem heaven shone with new luster over the
plains of Bethlehem, there was born into
the world lowly Nazarene whose mission
consisted in the dispensation of the divinely
human doctrine of 'peecs on earth, good will
to men,"
No stronger proof can be given of the uni
versal dominion of this doctrine over the
evil propensities of man, and it's influence to
conquer and shape the savage elements of
his nature like unto the image of the Mas
ter, than by reference to the kindly symps-
thies that pulsate the heart of mankind
throughout the civilized world this merry
Christmas morning, year of our Lord, 1879.
We're it not inconsistent to the undeviat-
ing rule of right which demands while
holding the ''mirror up to natural'' that
"nothing be extenuated, or aught set down
in malice,' it might be far pleasanter to
all reflections on the sinisterdoings of human
nature. Experience has shown, however,
that mans evil propensities are eradicated
only in exact ratio to the bitterness of the
antidote and that the high credo of 'sgood
will'' sends forth the richest bloom and
sweetest exhalntions as he is taught to re-
spect and observe the rights and privileges
of his fellows. -. i. sr..s.s .. s..
Had the immortal Dogberry been at hand

IN the calendar.

INSURANCE DECISION.
Tho Fraudulent -"MutuslI Contribution
: Plan.

Tho fraudulent "Mutuay Contribution"
...--s Plan. 1853 -.---.--
CHICAGO, Dec M.-Judge Blodgett, in the
United States district court, this morning,
made decision of great importance in the
ease of the petition of E. D. Cooke, assignee
in bankruptcy of the Protection Life Insurance
company for an assessment upon about l6, 600
policy holders, to pay some sixty death losses,
amounting to over 1924, 900, which had never
been assessed by the company. The principal
points made by Judge Blodgett were:
That the company under its charter was au-
upon joint stock or mutual plan, or both, at
its discretion; that the plan actually adopted
by the company was not strictly either Joint
stock or mutual, but anonymous, styled by the
company the mutual contribution" plan; that
tho liability of the members to assessments re.
e at a Ill., fre"a the e i and thu:
the contract, If it might be so called, OF the
policy holders was subsequently the same in
the various forms of the polich used by the
company. and was to pay an assessment to be
made by the company on the death-of each
merely an agent to mako assessments, collect
from policy holders, and pay over to benefi.
Charles; that the contracts expressed, contem-
plated and reserved the right of each policy
holder to refuse to pay any assessment, and
thus to .. III.
FORFEIT HIS POLICY,
and that thus lapsing he absolutely terminated
his liability to further assessment; that it was
the right of each policy holder to have the
company promptly assess all death losses, 80
that he might exercise his option of lapsing if
the assessments became too heavy; that the
court could not now assume to make assess-
ments which the company ought to have made,
since to do 80 weuld be inequitable and would
impose upon policy holders burden for which
they could now receive no equivalent, the COM
pany being dead; that the moneys collected on
such assessment if made would not be the as
sets of the company, for payment Of the gen.
eral creditors. but specific fund for the. pay
ment of specific death losses assessed; that the
company could only be liable on these unas-
sessed losses, to the extent of guaranty or for
damages for failnre to assess; that the scheme
of the company was
HLUsORY, AND AN EXPERIMENT
outside the beaten paths of life insurance, and
those benefciaries in whose behalf this ASSESS
ment is asked might well have anticipated the
contingency which has arisen. This decision
applies equally TO the following: The old A,
the new A, the B, the B B, and the CONNER
cial League branch of the company, and finds
that no liability now exists to an assessment.
The petition was dismissed.

Presentation to Capt. Clark.

For several days past concerted move
ment has been on foot to time the actions of
Captain Clark, whose conduct has been such
as to warrant the suspicion on the part of
number of prominent citizens that he would
bear watching. Thoroughly unconscious of
what was going on he was approached by
we'll known citizen yesterday after
noon who had been delegated
to officiate as spokesman for
several very enthusiastic admirers
of his character and services on the St. Paul
police force.
After some preliminary remarks, in the
course of which the delegate passed few
remarks concerning the Captains popularity
and the manner in which it is esteemed by
the citizens in general, the Captain was pre-
sented with superb hunting case gold watch,
the gift of a number of bankers and mer-
chants on Third street.
The beneficiary was altogether too sur
prised for utterance, and the gift was &C.
copied with manifestations of the deepest
gratitude. The watch is a full jewelled,
stem winder, eighteen carets fine, and of the
Matthew make, the improvements and move
ment being perfect. The inside of the re-
verse case has the following inscriptions: ''To
Captain j. Clark, from his friends. Christ
mas, 1872" Altogether it is a we'll deserved
and highly appropriate tribute TO Capt.
Clark's we'll known efficiency.

At the county Jail Christmas will be OBJ
served with all the freedom consistent with
the somewhat restricted nature of the cir.
cumstances. The magnetic sympathy OF
| the hour that has actuated common hui
mainly has not failed to permeate the grim
barriers of the bastile, and all day long yes
terday the prisoners were engaged in beauti-
flying, with proper Difference to harmony
of outline and color, the circumscribed
limits of their involuntary place of residence.
As completed last evening the corridors of
the jail present decidedly cheerful and Or
nate appearance. Each of tho corridors are
deliberately decorated with parti-colored pa
per, relieved by designs of the most exquisite
handiwork, executed with exact fidelity to art
by several prisoners in the jail.
By consent of Sheriff King, and with his
material and hearty cooperation, it was de-
cided that the prisoners in the Jail should
have right merry Christmas, and prepara-
tory to this the prisoners set about decorat-
ing the interior of the Jail, material for which
was furnished by the sheriff.
The walls, cells and ceilings of the south
corridor of the Jail are handsomely frescoed
and decorated with pendant streamers of
brilliant paper, the unity of design being
such as to form most charming and COM
plete ensexble of colors. At the extreme
end of the corridor mammoth heart is out
lined on the wall inclosing a representation
of the national colors, and the inscription
ga Merry Christmas in red, white and blue
paper, surrounded by number of azure
stars and shields, with an in
wrought and and raised cross of parti-
The entrance to the cells are festooned with
hanging streamers, the colors of which COM
port with the decorations.
The north corridor of the jail is handsome
ly festooned and decorated, corresponding
with the description given. with the exception
that the end of the corridor bears the repre-
sentation of a large heart, the centre of
which bears tho inwrought inscription of ga
Happy New Year," while the design is re-
lieved by shield representing the Norman
colors, the wall-eyed appearance of the white
washed walls being relieved by unique de-
slgAs III coAo1eu paper anu huDDer OF
pictures.
The work was executed by several of the
prisoners, superintendent by Yankee Sulli-
van, who manifests decided ingenuity for
this species of ornanentation. With usual
liberality, Sheriff King will regale the in
mates of the Jail with generous turkey
dinner, accompanied by most of the delica-
cies of the season. Last evening he present
ed each man with pouch of tobacco and
smoking material, and it is needless to say
that his generous bounty contributed to the
happiness of every prisoner in the Jail, while
the expressions of gratitude were many and
sincere.

Presentation to z. II. KELLY.
There is probably business house in
the country where such confidence and re-
gard exists between employers aud employees
as in the mammoth grocery establishment
in St. Paulj presided over by Z. H. Rely.
There are constant outcroppings of this hap
py state of affairs all through the year, bat
when Christmas comes, this temporal mil
lenium is regularly and duly observed,
For many years every Christmas has found
the junior partners and employees in Mr..
Kelly's establishment plotting some pleasant
surprise for their worthy chief as token Of
their regard. Brown the jeweler has repeat
eddy been given carte blanche to "look the
Landscape o'er'' for something choice
and appropriate, and he fills the bill
with wonderful success. OF course
yesterday was not allowed to pass without
the usual observance. and consequently
when Mr.. Kelly went to his home, last even
ing, he found there an elegant black marble
clock, surmounted with a small and beauti-
full bronze bust of Queen Eliza
beth. Upon each side of tho
clock are bronze candelebras standing about
two feet high. The whole piece makes
royal mantel ornament. The boys in that
establishment never do anything half way.
AS the article was quietly sent to Mr.. Kelly's
house there was no presentation ceremony,
but it was an additional token of existing
good will, and was gift most worthily be-
slowed.
