The time when 4 mans word was as good
as a bond seems to have belonged to some re-
mote period. The present generation look
upon it with as much Incredibly as upon the
fables found in mythology. Yet, OCCASION
ally, we hear Of persons who place So much
confidence in friends that they do not require
a written agreement, and afterwards they
bitterly repent of their indiScretion. Expe-
rience is said to be the best teacher. 1t may
be so, but it is often an expensive one. Wise
is he who, in the beginning, familiarizes
himself with the history of others, and from
1t learns wisdom. In visiting an unknown
land, common sense teaches one to use a
guide book, and not foOlishIy attempt to find
out everything for himself. Still there are
individuals who possess such confiding
natures that it is extremely difficult for them
to exercise their faculties of precaution.-

THE Jew ROUTE EAST.
Quick Time, Low Rates ana n Pleasant
Trip.

Hundreds of Montanians who have not
been to the States for years, are looking
forward with pleasure to IA trip sometime
during the present spring. The cause of this
general leave-taking is due largely to our
long season of prosperity, but vastly more to
the fact that we now have, practically, a
through rail route from Montana to the cities
of both the Atlantic and Pacific slopes. The
Utah and Northern Railway is at last so near
that the former dreaded stage ride has
dwindled to one that in comparison is a mer,
pastime. Passengers can leave Butte, Helena,
Deer Lodge OF Virginia City on Monday
morning, take breakfast at Ogden about
Wednesday. and dine at Chicago, St. Louis or
San Francisco Saturday and by the first of
June, they can shorten this time about one
day.
The rails are now so hear Red Rock that
we may fairly consider that the point at
which the bulk Of the east bound travel will
change from the Concord coach to the
luxurious Harton reclining char cars of the
Utah and Northern, Red Rock is only 100
miles south of Helena, 135 miles south Of
Deer Lodge, l20 miles south of Butte, los
miles from Virginia City, and so mil S from
Salisbury. Taking the average of these dis
tances as a basis we find that the railroad at
Red Rock has a large advantage overt the river
at Benton. Stages and trains run daily and
connections are close and sure through to all
points in the United States. The delays and
uncertainties of navigation are unknown on
tie southern route. Considering the luxury,
safety aud speed assured the rates to Omaha
from our prominent cities (SlO0 1st class,
SIS Cd class and SIS emigrants) are
really very reasonable. Through tickets are
also on sale at the different offices of Gilmer,
Salisbury 4 Co. to all important cities of the
union at prOportionately low rates. Emigrants

II Il man in good health has not eaten any
thing for some days, he will die if he eats
heartily. When persons are found in an
almost starving condition, light food, in small
quantities, and at short intervals, is essential
to safety. The reason Is, that as soon as we
begin to feel hungry the stomach rolls and
works about, and continues to do so, unless
satisfied, until it is so exhausted that there is
scarcely any vital energy it is literally almost
tired to death, and, therefore, digestion is per-
formed slowly and with great difficulty.
Hence, when a person is kept from eating
several hours beyond his usual time, instead
of eating fast and heartily, he should take his
food with elaboration, and only half as much
as if he had eaten at the regular time. Sud-
den and severe illness has often resulted from
the want of this precaution, and sometimes
death has Acknowledgement of Health

Flfth ward Hancock Club

Pursuant to a notice published in the
GLOBE meeting of the active working young
and old Democrats Of the Fifth ward was
held last evening for the purpose Of taking
preliminary steps for the organization of q
Hancock Ward club. 1t is enoinently proper
that the First Ward club, organized i'm the
city of St. Paul, should be located in the
Fifth ward, as that part of the city was Cen
eral Hancock's home during his residence
while stationed here. The young men of the
ward turned out in goodly numbers despite
the terrible heat and the counter attractions
elsewhere.
The assemblage was called to order by
George w. Walshe, Esq, when Judge w. b.
McG orty was elected chairman and Stewart
Rice, Esq, selected as secretary.
Judge McGrorty on taking the chair
made stirring. appeal to the young men
to take an active part in the campaign, and
if they done SO the ward would give Hancock
and English 500 majority. He further
stated that this was only preliminary
meeting for the purpose of taking steps for
permanent organization.
On motion Geo. w. Walshe, w. E. Burton
and L.. B. Witt we're appointed a committee
to draft constitution and bylaws for the
club. ST.
Messrs. Stewart Rice, Joseph Spiel, and
DR.. j. j. Dewey were appointed committee
to report the names of officers for perma-
nent organization, with power to secure a
place for headquarters.
The meeting then adjourned to meet at
the call of the chairman, to be published in
the GLoRE.
The boys of the Fifth ward are in earnest
and propose to make their ward the banner
one of the city, and by their example stimu-
late the other wards of the city and the
townships of the city. They will not be
satisfied with anything less than 1000 ma
jority for Hancock in Ramsey county.

L did not stop to debate the other con-
siderations that enter into this vital issue;
the grave considerations that demand the re-
lease of my dear native State from the des-
perate men who, in the last ten years, have
coldly crushed out the pride of our people,
and placed under the heel of brutal inferior
ity the hopes Of our youthful manhood, max
ing of this fair commonwealth vast, po-
litical Colgotha, and of our proud city of
Philadelphia an offensive roost for the most
desperate and vulgar mercenaries since the
black days of Tweed and Tammany in
New York. I do, not stop
to debate these considerations now. 1t
i is not the time. But this is the time TO
open to the common mind our pledged word
to the last of the great soldiers who placed
us under an obligation that we fastened to
avow, and repeated over and over az ain. My
own pledge binds me as my own note of
hand. In law if it had been signed to the
promise to pay money debt could be held
by it, and my estate if I failed to pay it. In
morals it is as solemn as if I had gone be-
fore magistrate and sworn to abide by it.
And what is true of myself is equally bind
ing upon others.

FRANCE.



PARIS, July 9.--The committee of the senate
has adopted the amendment to- the amnesty
bill proposed by Gen. Hellissier, excluding
incendiary and assassins, as persons who have
been condemned after due trial, from the
benefits of the bill. Jules Simon addressing
the committee after the adoption of his
amendment, said, he should always be of the
opinion that amnesty imposed on the country
by the action of msn who had themselves been
convicted, was a danger to public morality.
The promoters OF amnesty had committed a
grave error and had brought veritable trouble
upon the country. Nevertheless, for the sake
of Cancellation and security Of the country, we
have adopted the text of the
bill passed by the chamber of
deputies, merely adding that incendiaries
and murderers condemned after trial, shall be
excluded from amnesty.
The bill thus amended was submitted to the
Senate this afternoon. and the second part Of
the bill was adopted, l4l to 1873. The Senate
then agreed to the amendment moved by Min
ard, proposing that the exception made of the
bill against murderers aud incendiaries, shall
not apply to convicts whose sentences have al
ready been committed. The bill as amended
finally passed, 176 to GS.

usual manipulators of the pool box in this city
for the privilege of selling pools, whereupon
the latter, seized with a sudden spasm of vir-
tue, proceeded to arrest the former for violat-
ing the laws of the State, and
there was lively scrimmage in which
pool sellers, constables and horse owners took
prominent parts and carry unmistaksble

whole matter will take an extensive airing in

Puh1ic

It FulfiilrG Every Expectation, and Won
the Unqualified Praise of the st. Paul
Public, nv
The claim that. Barnum's is "the greatest
show on earth is proved to be no idle boast.
The show came yesterday morning, the peo-
pie saw it to the number of about fifteen
thousand, and were conquered. The vast
canvas tents were thronged with the largest
audiences ever seen in st. Paul, and all went
away highly pleased with what they saw.
The first thing noticeable was the gentleman
ly appearing of the attendants from the ticket
Office to those who cared for the animals. They
were omnipresent, respectful but firm in man
ner, insisting upon the utmost decorum and
attentive to the comfort of every person pres
ent. They were in agreeable contrast with
many others who have visited this city in the
same line.
The menagerie consisted of an unusually fine
selection of rare animals. They were all noble
specimens oftheir kind, in the finest possible
condition. fRe sea lion, the largest of its kind
ever placed on exhibition, the cages Of lions
and tigers, and the more ferocious of the col
lection were the chief centers of attraction.
The arena sports were of the usual descrip-
ton, though exceptional prominence was given
to the trick horses. A finer stud of animals
has never been seen. anywhere, and certainly
those attached to this circus. All were fine
specimens of the equine race, and manifested a
degree of intelligence that was almost human.
ALI Of the exhibitions were highly interesting,
and evoked hearty applause. The riding was
exceptionally fine. Madame Dockrell is
without peer as bare
back performance, exhibiting a phenominal
degree of daring. In riding and driving six
horses at the same time she afforded sight
that though often advertised has never been
seen before in this part of tho country. The
iding of SeBastion was also superb and re-
markable for its daring. The gymnastic
feats, the grand and lofty tumbling, ETC., was
all far above the average. e
The feature of the entertainment. however,
was the daring of the pretty little Zazel. She
walked wire to dizzy height, was
then raised to atrapcze at the summit of
the tent, fully forty-fiye feet from the ground,
and from that point dived headforemost into
the net below feat that has never before
been equaled in this or any other
country. After this she entered the mouth
of large cannon suspended at the
height of about twenty feet, and was fired
from it distance of about thirty feet, landing
in the net with disheveled hair but otherwise
as clipper as lark, and after making her bow
to the audience ran laughing to her dressing
room.
1t is unnecessary to allude to all the inter-
esting features of the entertainment, and Bar
mum will have the endorsement of the St Paul
public for his claim that his is the greatest
showson Garth. The company exhibits at Man
kato to-day and tonight, and thence will pro-
ceed southwark to Iowa, making the rounds of
the principal cities of the Hawkeye State.

Il PECULIAR SUIT.
The Uses of Wife's Life Insurance
Policy as Security.

An important decision was rendered by
Judge Brill yesterday in the case Of Mary @.
Allis against Edward z. Wane and James Fl.
Davidson, in which action was brought to re-
cover an insurance policy for $4,000. The
policy was issued by the Phoenix Mutual Life
Insurance company in 1865, and was after
wards deposited in the Marine Bank as security
for q loan. Upon the failure of the bank the
policy was purchased by defendant j. 81.
Davidson as part of the assets of the corpora
ton. The complaint alleged that the notes
for which the policy were given for security
had been paid up, and that defendants had no
right to the document.
The decision is in favor of the plaintiff and
the conclusions of law are as follows:
First-The policy was not assignable, and
could not be pledged by Lorenzo Allis.
Second-The assignment of the policy by the
plaintiff as security for the debt of Lorenzo
Allis, made this plaintiff as to the policy, the
surety of Lorenzo Ailis.
Third-The taking of the new notes, if it was
nothing more, was at least an extension of the
time of payment of the debt for which the
policy was pledged, and operated to discharge
the surety and release the pledge.
Fourth-As against the defendants, the
plaintiff is entitled to possession of the policy.
Judgment accordingly. and for costs and dis
bursementS.
