SLAVES INSURED IN LOTS.
A Glimpse of the Old-Tlme Way of Pro-

lection from Loss In Human Property.
The Picayune was lately shown by n
prominent insurance agent n life pol
icy, which, in the light of the present
methods of insuring, is n curiosity in
more ways than one.
1t was sent here by Memphis agent,
headed "Negro Policy" numbered 365,
issued by the Phoenix Insurance COM
pany of st. Louis, dated in that city the
10th of March, 1851, and signed by John
Is. Camden, president, and w. ii. Pritch-
artt, secretary.
The premium paid was $3.50, and the
risk was for $4,000 for three months
from noon of March 4, 1851, to noon of
June 4, 1851, on 16 slaves, as follows
Tom, Frank, Sophie, Eviline, Jordan,
Daniel, Ann, Hester, Henry, Lew, Ze'
lima, Ellen, Nelson, Mary, Charlotte
and Ann, in favor of Bolton, Dickins &
Co., of Memphis, Tenn, being at the
rate of $500 on the life of each one who
Iuight die during the continuance of pol
icy.
The restrictions in the document read
that the said slaves "shall have only
the privilege of travelling in the usual
conveyances on land, rivers, lakes, or
inland seas, and of residing in any of
the states and territories of this union,
or the British provinces of North Amer
lea, north of 80 degrees north latitude
and 20 degrees west longitude from
Washington city, except that from the
18th of July to the 1st day of oyember,
in each and every year, it shall not be
lawful for the insured to visit or re-
side south of "a degrees north latitude,
and 90 degrees west longitude from
Washington city, or enter into the mil
itary or naval service whatever (the
militia now in actual service eXcepted)
without such permission previously
obtained and indorsed on this policy
or in case they shall die in consequence
of duel or by the hands of justice, OF
in the known violation of any law OF
this state or of the United States, OF
Of the said provinces, or If the said
slaves shall be engaged in any capac'
ity on a steamboat, raft or vessel oi
any description, without the permis.
sion of said company previously OBJ
tained and indorsed on this policy, OF
shall run away or be kndnaped; ther
and in all such cases the said company
shall not be liable for the payment OF
the said sum insured or any part there
of, and this policy, so far as relates tc
such payment, shall be entirely void
This policy shall be void If assigned
without the consent of the company"
There was loss sustained under thi.
policy, as the following indorsemen
will show:

low EASTER DAY Is FIXED.

It has been over 1900 years since the
uc was adopted which makes Easter
he first Sunday after the first full
noon after the sun crosses the line"
y this arrangement of things, Easter
nay come as early as March %, or as
ate as April 25, but must forever oscil-
ate between the dates mentioned.
The word Easter" is said to be from
he German "oster," (rising), and Is
he Christian passover or festival of the
esurrection of Christ. The English
iame for the day is probably derived
rom that of the cid Teutonic goddess
}sten whose festival occurred at about
he same time as our celebration of
Caster. The proper time for celebrat
ng the festival was theme which gave
Use to much heated discussion among
arly Christians. The question was
ully considered and finally settled at
he council of Nice, 325 a. D., by adopt
ng the rule which makes it fall upon
he first Sunday after the first full
noon occurring after March 21. During
he present century Easter has fallen
rom one to four times ON every date be-
.ween March % and April %, except

For National Veal.

Much interest is felt in the aims and
objects of the National Association of
Manufacturers, which not long ago met
for n business conference. The purposes
of this convention gre as follows: The
fostering, extending and perfecting of
home manufactures, and the establish
ing of new markets in foreign ports;
the simplifcation of trade relations
between the United States and foreign
countries; the subsidizing of United
States ships, and the withdrawal, as
far as may be, of subsidies from foreign
vessels; the Importance of the Nicara-
qua canal, and the extension and i'm
provement of natural and artificial
Waterways; also the completion of con-
Meeting channels between the great
lakes, the Mississippi valley and the At
lantic seaLoard. This association is but
year old, but includes in its member
ship some of the best-known and most
influential names in the United States
All of the manufacturing and CONNER
cial interests of the country are to be
carefully looked after and encouraged
and reciprocity treaties are to be estab
lished with countries where business
connections give promise of satisfac
tory results. 1t is the intention of the
association to organize branches il
every state in the union, on a sort o
federative plan. There is an executive
committee and various subcommittee
composed of men able and willing t.
understand and carry out whateve
may seem TO the united body to be t.
the best interests of the land. Tha
good will come of this, no one VIII,
realizes the Importance of our manu-
featuring and commercial relations car

IN THE DEEP SEA.
A Noted Writer Tells of the Forms OF
Life Found There.

read the other day something that
thought would interest SO great a sea
bather as yourself. You know that the
fishes that we see and catch, go only
certain way down into the sea. Below Il
certain depth there is no life at all. The
water is as empty as the air is above
certain height. Even the shells of dead
fishes that come down there are crushed
into nothing by the huge weight of the
water. Lower still, in the places where
the sea is profoundly deep, it appears
that Life begins again. People fish up III
dredging buckets loose rags and tat
ters of creatures that hang together all
right down there with the great weight
holding them in one, but come all to
pieces as they are hauled up. just
what they look like, just what they do
OF feed upon, we shall never find out
Only that we have some flimsy fellow
creatures down in the very bottom OF
the deep seas, and cannot get them up
except in tatters.
1t must be pretty dark where they
live, and there are no plants or weeds
and no fish come down there, or drowned
sailors either, from the upper parts, be-
cause these are all mashed to pieces by
the great weight long before they get
so far, or else come to q place where
perhaps they float. But l daresay Il
cannon sometimes comes careering SOL
emnly down, and circling about like 4
dead leaf or thistledown; and then the
ragged fellows go and play about the
cannons and tell themselves all kinds Of
stories about the fish higherupand their
iron houses and perhaps go inside and
sleep, and perhaps dream of it all like
their betters.
! Of course you know cannon down
there would be quite light. Even in
shallow water, where men go down
with diving-dress, they grow so light
that they have to hang weights about
their necks, and have their boots load
ed with 20 pounds of lead-as l know
to my sorrow. And with all this, and
the helmet, which is heavy enough
of itself to anyone up here in the thir
air, they are carried about like gossa
lners, and have to take every kind o1
care not to be upset and stood upor
their heads. ! went down once in tho
dress. and speak from experience. Bu
if we could get down for momen
near where the fishes are, we shoul,
be in tight place. Suppose the watel
not to crush us (Which it would), w,
should pitch about in every kind of di
rection; every step we took would carr,
us as far as if we had seven-leagu,
boots; and we should keep flying heat
over heels, and top over bottom, lik
the liveliest clowns in the world.-
