How Twecds "TraVels' Forfeited
Hrs Insurance Foley.

The following is the decision OF the New
York court of appeals in the matter Of
"Boss" Tweed's life insurance policy: A
life policy issued October !, 1856, upon the
life Of William NJ. Tweed set forth that in
consideration of 81, 1SO.sO paid, sud a like
sum annually during the continuance OF
this policy, it would pay fer the benefit of
plaintiffs SO, 900 upon the death of Tweed.
If he should be alive April |, 1878, and the
policy in f,rce, il would pay the sum to
Tweed. Tho policy contained, among
other conditions, this: That it should be
"void and of no effect" if the party whose
life ia insured should, "without tho written
consent of the company, previously obtained,
travel upon the Seas" On the 4th of Sep
tembsr, 1915, Tweed escaped from the Gus
tody Of the sheriff of New York, who held
him under civil process, and WAS recsptured
at Vigo, Spain, in September 1876, and WAS
brought to this county by sea. He had new.
or obtained tho consent Of tho insurance
company TO travel upon the seas. Plaintiff;
did not offer to surrender Che policy until
August 1877, when they did SC, esd do
manded from tho company psil-up policy
HID, That tho travel up.u tho seas by
Tweed forfeited the policy md plaintiffs
rights hereunder, and the premiums paid
thereupon, and that there was 10 equitable
ground for releasing from tho forfeiture. On
the back of the policy was printed state
ment that permits will be granted 10y the
company TO tho insured to travel in foreign
countries on reasonable terms" Held,
That it could not DO claimed that the com.
pany WINS bound to grant the permit upon
psymen. of reasonable charge, while the
court could fix aud allow in this action to
the company as deduction. Tho company
could impose other terms than reasonable
charge, The court could not act when the
permit was not en- asked for. And the
court cannot relieve from tho forfeiture
oven though the insured re.urnod in safety
10 this country.

fenced; that is to say. three dollars
per acre. Each year the fence must
be repaired. | now refer to a legal
fence. In building fences five feet
high they are more easily shed or
blown over. This is a constant item
of expense. Your neighbor, whose
lands are assessed lower, but who asks
just as much per acre for his land as
you do, is not compelled to fence his
untitled land at all. The law relieves
him and adds to you. How? If his
lands were producing there would be
more wealth thereby decreasing your
rate Of taxation, and if his lands we're
titled they would be assessed as high
rs yours, again lessening your rate of
taxation. 1t stops not here. Penalties
ar attached. A renter on the lands
of MI. A.. farms ten acres with a steer.
He will keep two or three head Of cat

He pastures out. His half starved
stock freaks in on you all the year,
but particularly after his crop is laid
by his stock begin in earnest to lay
yours by. Ifyour fence at any point
around your Enclosure (perhaps a fence
three of four miles long, often ten), is
found to be less than sixty inches
high, you have not a lawful fence, and
if your crop is destroyed, you cannot
recover one cent in damages; il his
halfstarved stock gorge themselves and
die, he can recover damages from you.

No Fenee Law.

Below we give an article from the
New York Cotton, written by a gen
tleman from South Carolina, on no
fence law, which we consider Of i'm
portsnce to every farmer.
Cur legislators talk to US about
the dear people (?) hoping to get our
votes; but they, by their cowardly
course, make it dear Tor US. Let me
make the matter more personal. If
you owned lands hat are cleared, aud
you are endeayoring to build up your
property, your lands are assessed high
er than the lands that join you, owned
in the same quantity and the same as
to quality. This is unfair, unjust,
unwise. If you have cleared land,
and are working it, you are compelled
to fence it, and fence it high. You
cannot stop with a fence that would
keep well fed cattle in, but you must
fence half starved cattle out.
Suppose the land you till should
all lie in squares, so as TO take the
least possible amount Of fencing, and
you fence in a ten-acre lot; this re-
quires one-half mile Of fencing; if it
DO a forty-acre lot II viii require one
mile Of fencing; if 100 acres, two
miles; if $40, four miles. The cost Of
splitting rails here is aboutforty cents
a hundred, aud this will make your
fence cost you forty dollars per mile,
not counting your timber as worth
anything; then to haul and erect the
same will cost from twenty to forty
dollars per mile Gin addition to the
splitting Of the rails), owing to the
distance the rails have to be hauled.
"Placing the estimate at the lowest
rate, we have sixty dollars per mile,
or thirty dollars for each ten-scres

THE woMAN's RIGHTS ASSOCIATION
has been in session here, with a larger
attendance than for many years. Tho
meeting held yesterday was remark
able for better looking and better
dressed women than have ever been
seen at such affairs before. Although
one Of the feminine-masculine-du
pick element, remarked on the absence
of the fresh girl faces" The fresh
girl faces will never be found in such
a collection Of tabbies-Mr. Hayes at
tended the meeting on yesterday, but
took a back seat.
Among the many interesting char
acters that drift toward Washington is
MRS. MYRA cLAKE GAINES.
She has a house on l street, and al
though three or four hundred years
old, is still bright and active, and has
charge of ten grand children. She is
still prosecuting her suit with vigor,
il having taken a different shape since
she got her two decisions some time
ago. The city of New Orleans agreed
if she would abandon the suits against
the individual property holders that
it. the city, would become the defend
ant. Mrs. Gaines called all the de-
PENDANTS together in New Orleans and
laid her two decisions before them
before acceding to the offer Of the city.
They we're all SO disheartened aud
distressed by the proofs she brought
forward that at last Mrs. Gaines ex-
claimed, go home, everyone Of you,
in peace; l will never be the little
woman to bring you all 90 beggary, ,
and took the chance of trying the case
over again. She has been married
twice, and thinks both of her hus-
bands angels, but the rest OF the mas
culine gender as bad as eve they can
be, and getting no better very fast.
