The death of William Tegg, of Eng
land, who is referred to as the ENG
ish Peter Farley, leads the Elizabeth
Journal to remark that the nom de
plume, "Peter Farley was first used
by Mr.. S. G. Goodrich, who died
some thirty or forty years ago, and
that Mr.. Tegg probably thought that
as the original Peter Farley was
dead, the name belonged to any one
who chose to take it." Mr.. Goodrich
t1ourished as al author from 1871 to
1854, during which period he pub.
lished about 300 volumes, about ITO
of which were juvenile books under
the name OF "Peter Farley Most of
these were republished in England.
He was United States Consul in Paris
from 1851 until 1875 under Fillmore's S
Administration, previous to which he
had held other offices of responsibility
and public prominence.

The attorney general in response to
o request of the insurance commits
siongr has given an opinion concern
ing the legality Of insurlnG minors IN
assessment associations. The attorney
general is Of the opinion that there is
nothing in the laws Of this state to
forbid any such insurance. The OBJ
ieci of the commits ,ioner in getting
this opinion WAS TO stop assessment
associations selling policies 70 minors,
which policies carry with them ia-
bilitv for assessment and which Of
courso cannot be collected through the
courts from minors. The commissioner
now proposes To get Il law passed
which will cover this point and make
if impossible for contracts bearing as
scssment liability to be issued to per-
CONS from whom the assessments can
not legally be collected. Assessment
company managers say that they have
some minors ON their books, but eX.
press Willingness 10 cancel such poll-
cics if it be found thnt they are issued
although nuwittingiy, in violation OF
law. Several expressed their lndit1er-
ence, stating that the insuring of
minors never was profitable, and they
would be perfectly willing to cancel
all such business aud refrain from TAX
inc any in the future.

The discovery that the Boston
health authorities have two cases of
lcprosy iu their charge has occasioned
more or less uneasincss as to the dan
ger to be apprehcuded from the APP
pearancc of the disease here. This
feeling is unwarranted, however, as
leprosy is not highly contagious, and
can easily be prevented from spread
ing. Sporadic cases of leprosy are by
no means uncommon in our great
cities. In New York city there are
now tour cases under the charge of
the health authorities, and the repre-
sentative Of New York paper has
been permitted to interview the lepers
and take their photographs, which ap-
