BOARD OF HEALTH-At the meeting
of the City Board of Health yesterday,
a communication was received from
several coiored preachers requesting
that DIR. c. Byrd Baker be appointed
visiting physician to cOlored people who
are unable to pay for medical attendance.
Physicians having already been APP
pointed for the several Wards to attend
the INDECENT poor, the communication
was laid on the table A short time
since the German ministers Of the city
requested the Board to appoint ply
stefan to attend to their countrymen
who did not understand the English
language, and the negro preachers took
the cue and Immediately petitioned for
a like favor for their brethren who spoke
the African language.

Two BOYS SERIOUSLY INJURED -Yester-
day morning, says the AUalanche, a
little boy while hanging on to street
car, No 81, which was in motion, near
the corner of Orleans and Poplar streets,
lost his hold, and fell to the ground, his
arm being thrown out to save himself,
was run over by the car and badly
broken and mangled He was taken to
his home, and his arm will doubtless re-
quire amputation. In the evening while
the same car was in motion, near the
corner of Main and Poplar streets,
another boy while endeavoring to get a
ride upon it, fell with both legs under
the wheels, and was run over, his legs
were broken and mashed close by the
hips, and there is no probability that he
can recover 1t is wonder that more
accidents do not occur to the boys who
run after and jump on the street cars.

Life Insurance.

Among the active agencies of the time
none seem to be more earnest, enteprls-
ing and successful than that of life insur-
ance. 1t has become feature of the age,
a sort of cardinal point in the life of a
prudent American citizen, to take out a
life insurance policy for the benefit OF his
wife, his children, his parents, or himself,
in case he is living at a certain age agreed
upon. Almost every variety OF probabll-
ity, or even possibility, seems to be pro
Vided against-every phase Of the social
relation being now protected by life in
surance. -.
Notably among the most active, earn
est and successful of our hfe Offices is
the Equitable Life Assurance Society OF
New York, whose specific programme 10
future annual cash dividends IS published
in our columns to-day. =.-.
A prominent feature in the manage
ment of this society has always been the
ready, indeed the fixed, recognition OF
the imperative rights and claims Of the
policy holders, as mutual members of the
Institution, to govern and regulate Its
principles of action. The subscribers to
the original guaranty capital have no
claim upon the funds of the society be-
yond the mere legal interest OF their
capital, unless so far as they may also be
policy holders. The capital produces its
own interest, whilst it strengthens the so
ciety and ensures a due watohfulness oV-
or the management.
In all essentials the Equitable IS a
purely mutual society, managed and sdl-
rected to best promote the interest OF all
the members.
As nothing succeeds so well as ,'suc-
cess" the Equitable has all the advan-
tages of the popular apothegm. The So
ciety is a complete suecess-the greatest
success in the life insurance system IN its
time. In a period of vigorous competi-
ton it has surpassed all competitors
among modern life Offices, and taken a
secure and high position among the H.
nancial institutions of the age. The pro-
eramme referred to is well prepared ex,
plains all the features of the society, and
deserves careful attention.-N 7. EveH
