Protecting the Widow.

sOciationS on partly new plan is attract
ing attention. In the old associations,
in the event Of death the widow of the
workingman often has no way of contin-
uing the monthly payments, and the prop
erty is seized by the association, which
sells it to the highest bidder OF course
she receives back the savings of the fam
lily, with six per cent interest, provided
the property has not deprecated in value
The new plan provides for the widows
protection by associating with the old
style of payment of monthly dues the new
feature of paying small sum additional
per share as an insurance fund. This in

children or other heirs, until the society
runs out. Suppose man has six shares
on which he pays $50 a month. He also
pays twenty cents extra per share per
month for his insurance fee, making his
entire monthly payment $7.20. At the
end of the year he has paid 81 t.40 for his
insurance. The society has received it
and he, us one of the members, has still
an interest in it. Suppose he buys out
his six shares and receives $1O8O, for
which he purchases Il home. If he dies
week after the purchase, the widow at
once becomes the posscssor Of home,
and the building association keeps up the
monthly payments
All members of the society are exam
ined by a doctor the same as in any nSu-
rance company Members between 2l
and 90 years of age only are taken. The
mean therefore is 3S years. Ordinary
life insurance for $1,000 for one year in
old line companies on persons 3S years of
age costs more than $1440 paid to the
building association each year. After
building association has been in progress
few years it's membership generally
numbers about 400. All together they
hold about 800 shares. Each month
therefore the society receives 81, 800 as
dues paid in and $500 insurance fund.
The insurance fund amounts to 1900
per year. If no one dies that wear the
amount becomes Il reserve fund. If at
any time member who has been In good

not continue his payments, he can draw

of Spotted TAIL he said it was fit end

rendered when he should have kept on

QUEER THINGS IN WAR.

Men might write for hundred years OF the
curious phases of war aud still leave the sub
ject fresh. War is lottery, and the prizes are
shot, shell, wounds aud death. Tens Of thous-
ands OF men served four years in the late war
and returned home. In thousand cases re-
cruits were killed within twenty-four hours
after reaching the front. Wars missiles are no
respeeters OF persons, and the soldier who
fights al all days battle without receiving a
wound may be killed in his tent at night by the
accidental discharge OF a musket.
At the battle of Franklin, the first shell sent
from the first Union feld-piece to open fire,
killed twenty-six Confederates. The next five
shells from this same gun either failed to ex-
plode or cleared the advancing lines. In this
same fight the horse OF q Confederate colonel
was cut square into by shot and the rider es-
officer behind the earthworks stumbled and fell
forward on the ground and broke his neck.
In one OF the assaults on Fort Wagner in
Charleston Harbor the iron-clad fleet, assisted
by land batteries numbering twenty seven
heavy cannon, bombarded the fort for two
hours before killing single soldier. From
seventy to eighty heavy cannon were harling
three tons OF iron into the fort each minute,
and yet no one was hurt until over 800 tons OF
solid death" had been wasted. AS an ffsst
to this, witness the work OF single solid shot
thrown from Federal gunboat on the lower
Mississippi. A Confederate flying battery was
just taking position, and one piece had already
opened fire. The Federal shot was directed at
this piece. The big mass OF iron struck the
six-pounder square on the muZze and upset
gun and carriage. piece OF the muzzle weigh
ing about twenty pounds was broken Off, and
this flew 10 the LETT and killed two men. Three
men were wounded by smaller fragments or
flying splnters. The big shot next struck and
exploded casson, killing three more men and
wounding two others. From the caisson il
turned to the right, killed a horse, smashed a
wheel for feld-piece and crushed the leg OF q
sergeant to a bloody mass. That one shot so
dsorganlzed the battery that it limbsred up and
dashed away to cover.
While heavy ordinance is necessary in reduc-
ing forts and earthworks, it is doubtful il there
was any profit IN the work of the big guns car

boats, and some writers have claimed that their

The Irish land bill, presented by Mr.. Glad
stone to the British Pertinent, is very radical
one, and vet it appeals directly to the sense OF
justice and fair play OF every man in that
country. 1t will undoubtedly meet with bitter
opposition from many who are termed the old
Wing party. The Duke OF Argyle has resigned
his place in the Cabinet because OF his opposi-
ton to it while Lord Harrington, who repre-
senls one OF the largest landed estates in Eng
land, supports it. The bill is direct blow to
the abuses that ENLISTED for hundreds OF years,
and made the people OF Ireland, enslaved
paupers, "and kept the country alternately
torn by rebellion or devastated by famine" 1t
is just such bill as all, who desire the condi-
ton of The Irshman in his native land bettered.
would wish to see passed. Among some OF the
good features which the bill possesses, are that
the leases shall not be at the will OF the land
lord; their terms and conditions shall be fixed
by law. and tenants are prohibited from max
ing any waiver Of statutory privileges. Here
'tofore, all the land laws permitted tenants to
accept terms which waived all the regulations
for protection, under leases which they were
compelled to accept or go without land. The
leases are now to run fifteen years, and during
that time, so long as the tenant pays his rent
he is independent OF the landlords. Also, he
eau build houses or out buildings and sell them
with his lease, or, at its expiration, demand
payment Of their value OF the landlord. II,

accompanied by six Of his class mates, arrived
in Bangor on the 18th. Herbert was promis-

death causes quite gloom among his former

An accident OF rather serious nature took
place near the mill-pound, on the 18th inst.

home from town, they, with their horses and
wagon, were thrown into the mill-race. Mrs
