Beajamin Barret, of Lima, Ohio, was insured in thi; Conneet:ent Mutual Life -,11ns. Co., ferr $2,000, his occupation be- ing that f a railroad locomotive engi- neer,' which was" SO Etatoi 111theapplf,°- etition to the -Company for the 'Policy. Mr. B. was killed in Decertiber, 180, while running on the Dayton alai ii chigan.road, between Toledo and Lima, ihv lt wa,s a stoniy rnglit, and a -I1iib gf a tree was blown _down, striking the locomotive cab, killing Mr., Ba but not injuring the fireman,who ran the train, to its deStillatidri. The Compaoy declined to pay, be- cause Mit Bari -et was pursuing an occu- pation prohibited by one. of the conditi- ons of the Raley, unle.ss a special per- mit was granted therefor by the Com - parry. Suit waS brought a.gainst the Company ia the Rayne Co., Mich, Cir- cuit Court, aud came up fur tdial, July /at, before Judge Patcber, thel fact Of Mr. Barret insuring his! life in the "Connecticut Mututt.',?" his ooeupation, the statement of which was made in the application to the _Company for the Policy, anti. his death, as stated above, all being proved. It was claimed by the counsell far the plautiff, the Widow of Mr. B., that, .,as the application was made, by its express. terms, a part of the contract, and as the application stated, the irtaured was a railroad engineer, this was a wavier, on the part of .the Compinty, of the printed Conditions contained in the Policy, and - they must be constructed together. The Case of the Peoria Ins. Co., decided by he Supreme Court of Michigan, was 1-..elied on to suittia their position. The judge charged the ,jury., and they tendered a verdict for_ the full amouut with interest -We do not profess to say 'Whether this decision will sta. d the -test of a higher Court of law'or not ; but it will stand the teat of that high Court of Equity over whiela common sense and. .0011E1110II honesty preside as judges. There waS no attempt to fraud, ---no concealment or prevarication On the part ofthe insuted. The .Connectiatt - Mutual Life Inaurance Company recet- ved his money *ith the full know4edge of his occripatiola, and issue] in. retuta -thetyloa their Policy,' with full knowl: edge of his continuance in ,hat -occu- pation, if they -did not mean to insur - lira what did they mean to do ake ; -his money- without giving him an egad - valent, and that under false Pretences? It looks very much Hue it, certainly, avid if they weretried under that indietmetait we doalat if twelve honest ID en •cotakd be-fouar.dtwho would acquit them cradle, evidence. _ The :resort to the delays and mates 43.f the law to escape, if possible, the..ray- talent of an henest claim is a:disgraCe to the nanae of Life insurance. Bat what else could be expected --tV a corpor- ation that would issue an unsuspecting applicant a contract containing certain clauses and conditions which they knew lie must violate daily, and, according to their interpretation of it, so violate them as to render the contract' nnli and void'' . This, and eater similar transactions which_ .have proceeded, reveal the 'and, - aims of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company. - Instead of being animated by that s4cred regard for the rights,of its members, and that bene- ficient purpose towai-d the Widow and the orphan, - vAlich its much vaunted mutuality give us therightta'expect and demand of it, the ruling principle seems to be a, feverish lust for aggrandirement, impatient of everything which 'retards its progress, and quick to avail itself of every cpaibble and loophole which the develish ingenuity of a, petifegger can suggest or ,discover to escape the itay- ment of its hOnest dues. . This Company is never done boast- ing of its "enormous dividends." It parades them with most persistent os- tentation -before the public eye, but it is studiously careful to conceal whence they come, and how they are obtaine'd. It has learned well the magic policy 'of the word "dividend," and boasted of its_ "fifty per cent," sq loudly and so long,. that many excellent perosas have come .to believe that the orthodox standard, belOve which to fall is the unpardonable sin. and certain damnation of a Mutual Life Insurance Compaay., Itreligiously omits to publish the fact that, .for long years, it refused to return to the retiring Policy -holder the slight- est fraction of the money he had been v. paying it in excess of the current cost of his insurance, --that all this while it was enriching the few who continued the punttual payment of their loonies, 'at the expense of the manywho did not SO continue. The same deceptive policy is plorsued threughout Itholds out to thos ' whose Patronage is solicted glitteringptomises of comfort and protection for -sa'fe and children ; but when the hour of sore diktress and sudden bereavern ent co Ines, • if any of the intricate conditiens with which it is carefal to load down its Policies:have been violated, or 'the cun- it mg of:a paid attorney cati discover the ehance.of escape from the liability ere- ated; he Connecticut Mutuai 1ife In- surance Company forgets all its.protnis- es, denies the glorious bitth-iight with which its name endows it, and becomes the eager and 'itnrelenting foe of the widow and the -orphan it has solemnly contra.ctecl:to befriend, resisting their claims to the bitter end. By this course it has gained the mess of pottage,—It has grown 'great and stiong,---deelared its "fifty per cent di- vidend," and achived what thoughtless or bit eling° tongues call a "splendid suc- cess." But when its clairus to pubic contidenee and favor are weighed in these balances where "a good name is, better than riches," they are found wanting. We should not perhaps write this, if the case cited above were an exception- . ,a1 one. 1 It is not so. itis consistent wih the Policy if the Connecticut mu- tual: Life.Insurance Company' from the begiaing, which has ueen uniformeay selfish and'illitteral. From first to last that corporation has been weithy. of its origin. The "wooden nritraeg" prin- ciple has always governed it. It has treated its Agerts and its insured With the traditional Connecticut parsimony, and all tne 'while boasted ()fits superior righteousuesS with true Connecticut hy- pocrisy. Other Life Companies of broader charity and more liberal spirit,—of npre actual worth and more comprehen- sive philosophy, have sprung upfrom it and around'it, as vigorous and comely trees 'spring from the roots of a garland and obstinate oak. .These it has affec- ted to ignore, save When their superior claims beingrecognized, it has stooped to traduce.. But we warn the managers of the "Connectictet Mutual," that if they would. long retain the proud, and in !natty respects*deserved, pre-eminence they have so tons eld, a new policy,. mot e in consonance with the catholic spirit of the times and more accordant with the true theory of Life .Insuranco, because more jtist. and liberal, must be adopted. Some of the oldAr English Cempanies coxless to a dependance upon the "intu- sion of young blood" as their only sal- vation from utter ruin. The -"Connecti- cut Mutual" needs an infusion of young blood in a different sense. It needs more of both the generous blood and liberal brain of Young A.merica' We arel glad that its Contalitutional meann ess has been so signally rebuked as in the instance above, and can but hope that henceforth -its affairs may be SO_ conducted that, in pronouncing it worthy of all confidence, the public may aaree upon a "righteous verdict"— elticago Insurance Chronicle, • SCENE IN THE LORDS ON THE LAST NIGHT OF THE CHURCH BILL —A cor- respondent of the .LNY- Y. Tribune gives the following graphic pictare of the scene in. the House of Lords on Tues- day night during ithe debate on the Ir- ish Church Fill. There was not so much an outward'appeara,no; of excite- ment, out it was evident from the whole demeanor of the press.olvisitors in the House of _Lords that a serious crisis had arrived in the confliet between the two Houses. The preliminary par- hanertai busihess was transacted in ominous silence: The ministerial and opposition lords eyed each other like men feeling they would soon'fio engag- ed in a dangerous struggle. II'rorain- ent among the ladies, who were.piesent in large numbers, sat the stately Mrs. Gladstone, dressed in a bright blue silk sweeping in succession the whole ' array of grave,. impassioned faces with, her euera-glass, as each speaker rose. :The bench of bishops, beaded 'ay the Archi- bishop of Canterburie prasented a:for- midable array of silk and muslin. Earl Granville looked careworrn and per- glexed, as though fully- impressed with the difficulties which lay m his way. Lord Derby' entered late in the evening and took his seat with something of de- fiance in hi a manner. Lord Cairne was earlyin his place but appeared uneasy. The Marquis of Saillsbury, as usual, nursedthis kne nervously, anxious lor an opportanity of joining issue with the Commons. Royalty was represent- ed by the Duke of Cambridge, wno sat near Earl Gray, earne§tly conversing with all . around him. After. the speeches had commenced, the members of the Lower House crowded in, Mr. _Disraeli taking a conspicaorts place on the steps of the throne, where he was the cynosure of all eyes as he stood with the inscrutable look he can so well assume, surveying the anguA ;assembly through his • eye -glass. a 4 On the other !side of thethrone Mr. Gladstbne leaned negligently against the raffia°. which sepal ates strangers from the °body of the House. He looked anxiously on as the deb. tte continued, with pale face the hard lines about the mouth drawn aown with a resolute look, as though he had- made_ up his mind to never stir - render. John Bright bustled to and fro in and cut of the liaise, his count-, mance displ aying anythiu g b u pleasure at the prospect before him. Altogether the scene during the debate indicated interest in the crisis which rest night hadreached its climax, and from wnich there could be no e. a e. _ 0 VERWORK. —There was William Pitt, dead ak forty-nine, carrying the Biit sli Empire on his shoulders fo- a quartet of a century, and attempting to carry it. pint cf port wine daily and a pinch of opium in Ms stomach, and foundered in mid -ocean from his over:cargo. What a wreck was that when Brinsley Sheri- dan went to pieces on the breakers of in- temperance and overwork ; There, too was Mirabeau, that prodigy of strength and health, of versatility and splendid talent, killed by the overwhelming la- bors and excitements of the. tribune and the orgies of the cypria,n hells. Ser- geant S. Prentiss attempted the double task ;and is ever a man might with im- punity, he could, with his ldonine health and marvellous mental gifts. Said a distinguished Mississippi lawyer to hie, 'Prentiss would sit up alt night gambling a"drinking, and then go in- to court ne- i, day, and make a better plea in allrespects than I could, or any- ..,;94y--elie at the bar of our State, even tliough we studied our case half the night and slept the rest.' He tried it, and in the trying burned to the -socket in forty-one yeats the lamp of rife that had been trimmed to last fourscore.

A MODEL ediSTAGE STAMP. —Anew self -cancelling postage stamp has recen- tly been. iavented. The paper on which the stamp -head is printed is first wet in a cheap chemical solution. The stamp is then gummed and perforated as formerly When purchased the stamp is -moistened as usual and attached to the letter. But when the post office clerk ta,kes up the letter to sort from the others for different States, on his right hand thumb is a mall cot, on wilich is a sponge with a feeder, which is soaked in anoer chemical solution kept secret for G-overnmene; reasons. As the clelk takes hold of the, letter to throw, it aside, his thumb -comes in contact Witn the stamp; an instanta- neous combination takes place, and a defacement comes out mach superior to the present ink. This Cancellation can only affect the stamp which is pre - pa ed or if the thunib sponge wet the envelope it dries off -a ithout any mark. 5 (Advertisement.) Sonaething Worth Reading.
