Latest from the Hartford Fire Insur-
ance Companies.

Extract from private letter dated October % from
citizen of Hartford Conn.
The terrible fires of course absorb at
tention, and little else is talked or
thought of. Hartford will bear her share
of the burden, both in the way of con-
tributions and insurance, and will,
think, do it manfully. The smoke has
not cleared away sufficiently yet for our
insurance companies to make reliable
estimate of losses, but so much is known
as will probably extinguish all but three
the Etna, Hartford, and Phoenix. The
Etna's loss is variously estimated at
from two to five millions, and she is
driven to reduction of capital stock
fifty per cent. The Hartford will lose
probably about 81 10000 the Phoenix,
$l,50O,OOO; and both may be driven to
reduction, with the Etna. "The North
American, P" Merchants, CITY"

"Putnam " will more than likely ego
by the board" 1t has been understood
that the Merchants" City" and
Connecticut" would be carried over
by their stockholders, but heard to-day
that their losses were so much greater
than at first estimated, they would be
closed up. The Putnam folks have
talked of paying as far as their assets
would 60, and starting again under a
new name" The Brother Jonathan !"

ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL, in Fifth-eighth
street. New York, was opened on Thursday.
II is the gift of James Ii. Roosevelt, and cost
more han million of dollars......Judge
Noah Davis is reported TO have stated that
he has ample proof that State Senator
Brown, Republican, in the last session of
the New York Legislature, received $40 900
for voting for the tax levy bill; 5000 for
voting for all the ring bills S. 900 for vot-
ing for the Erie bill, and $4,000 for voting
for the city charter bill.
TuREE hundred Mormons arrived in New
York on Wednesday, chiefly from England
and Scandinavia, and left the same day for
Utah.....s Stephen Waterman, member of
the Rhode Island legislature shot himself
in the head on Friday morning, at Previ-
dence.
WILLIAM THOMPSON, the boy switchtender
who pleaded guilty to the charge of man
slaughter, in having caused the accident at
Brilps switch, New Jersey, in July last, was
sentenced on Saturday to three months i'm
prsonment and fined $780,. The registra-
ton o. NpI,rB n New York on Saturday was
1883. rhe total registration foots up
252, 1872. This number exceeds that of last
year by 9 1926. This is the largest registra-
ton ever known in this city. The Times
thinks this years registration probably in
cludes far less repeating element than that
Of 1870, and believes that the vote will
some close up to the registry; that the in
crease is due to voters who are in favor of
reform. 1t seems that some Of the women
Of the Woodruff Clahin persuasion, who were
registered, met with no opposition. The
registrators are, however, not quite satisfied
that they have done right in granting per-
mission. One Of them is of the opinion that
he would be liable to fine of S75 if he con-
sented. Another says he would be liable to
a hne Of $500 for refusing. One of the lady
candidates supported her claim to be placed
upon the list in lengthy argument backed
up by reference to scripture. Chas o.
Conor states that it is certain that from
three to six millions will be recovered from
Tweed. The aiders and abettors of Tweed
are to be proceeded against also. Twced's
district being strongly Democratic, his cleo
ton is conceded by large majority. The
Herald says: "The controlling political
elements Of his district are, according to
Democratic authority, outlaws, Migrants,
loafers vagabonds, and bummers. They
would probably go for him if he were under
conviction, awaiting his sentence as rob-
Der of the public treasury. .... Frederick

The latest dispatches from Paris are not
much less horrible than those Of the last

that the insurrection has been utterly
crushed. There seems really little 10

only wonder whether the future ruler OF

/" The Doctor"

A recent traveller in Austria thus de-
scribes the performance of II tame cocka-
too by It's pet name "The Doctor -" 1t
pretended to have II violent toothache, and
nursed its head in its claw, rocking itself
backward and forward as if in the great
est agony, and in answer to all the RENEE
dies which we're proposed, croaking out,
40, 1t aint bit good ~ and finally sliding
up to the end Of the porch, and crying In
a hoarse Whisper -" Give me drop of
sew, holding little piece of cloth UNDER
meath its claw, which rested on the perch,
and going through the motions with the
other, getting into difficulties with its
thread, and finally singing loud
song in favor of sewing machines,
just as If 1t were an advertisement. The
Doctors best performance is when he i'm
itates q hawk. He reserves this acting
until his mistress is feeding her poultry
then, when all the hens and chickens, tur-
keys and pigeons are in the quiet enjoy
ment Of their breakfast or supper, the Pc
culiar shrill dry Of a hawk is heard over
head, and The Doctor is seen circling in
the air, uttering q scream occasionally.
The fowls never ind out that IL is a hoax,
but run TO shelter, cackling loudly for
their chicks, turkeys crouching under
bushes, pigeons taking refuge in their
houses, As soon as the ground Is quite
clear, cocky changes its wild note for peals
or laughter, from a high tree, and finally
alighting on the top Of a hencoop filled
with trembling chickens remarks in q
suffooated voice; 'You will be the death

Cod.Ltver OIL VS. Cream.

An exchange says: "Some years ago,
physicians had habit of recommending
every consumptive patient to take cod
liver oil. The incredible nastiness Of the
dose must have constituted its peculiar
merit; for, as II matter of fact, any result
established BY cod-liver oil would have
been attained by the pa.ient had cream
instead Of oil been prescribed. Suddenly
this idea seems to have dawned upon the
medical faculty. AS u consequence we
now have 'milk-cure' announced Ms q
specific for consumption. Patients who
formerly put their trust in cod-livers are
now told that the COW is their only hope.
They are made to drink vast quantities OF
pure milk, instead of frequent doses of the
unspeakable vile cod-liyer oil. The effect
is all that can be desired. The patent VINO
tries the m,lk-curc finds himself rapidly
growing fat, and it is also said that he b.
comes childlike and bland in his de-
meanor."

DEMOCRACY OF TENNESSEE.

NASHVILLE, June 1.-The Democratic
State Executive Committee of Tennessee
met in this city to-day, upon the call
Of its chairman, Hon. Dorsey b. Thomas,
and adopted resolution declaring their
acceptance, in good faith, of the issues of
the war, with all the late amendments to
the Constitution, and their acquiesencc in
them as the supreme law of the land.
They also declared their approval of
the late Democratic Congressional ad-
dress.
At a large meeting of the editors of the
Democratic press of the State, now in this
city, this afternoon, this action of the
State Democratic Executive Committee
was considered and unanimously approved
and indorsed. This meeting was COM
posed of Democratic editors from all parts
of the State.

The jury in the Milliran case

The jury in the Milligan case at Indi.
annapolis returned a verdict for the plain
till, which under the instructions of tho
court, and with respect to the Law, they
could not escape doing. They awarded
as damages the merely nominal sum of
five dollars, sufficient to throw the legal
costs upon the defendants. Itwould seem
tnat the plaintiff is satisfied with the YER.
dict, as no motion on his part looking to fur
ther proceedings was entered. In which
case the conclusion is unavoidable that
his main object was TO vindica,e his con-
stitutional rights and not to take ven-
gence upon those who violently and Grim
inally set aside the civil law. Blu, with
the defendants it Is different. They i'm
mediately gave notice Of their intention
TO appeal the case to the Supreme Court.
They still think that this is not govern
ment of law, Tut a government of the
sword. In which they show themselves
to be good partisans Of King Ulysses and
the advocates Of centralized i'm peralism.

ORDER IN ALABAMA.
The New York World rejoices over the
condition Of Alabama. 1t says:

Aho NeW iorh WoTtu reJOices over the
condition of Alabama. 1t says:
The full text of the charge of the Hon.
Richard Busteed, Judge of the United
States District Court, to the Grand jury
tor the district Of North Alabama, is now
before us, Dick says: at gives me un-
feigncd satisfaction to be able to announce
that there is but single case of alleged
offence to be brought to your notice, n case
in which party is charged with having
robbed the mails. This state of facts is
exceedingly gratifying when We consider
that whole year has elapsed since the i'm
pannelling Of the last Grand Jury for the
United States in this district" This is
very good testimony, and we find its cause
on that page of the World almanac for
1871, which shows how Alabama was car
ried last election by the Democracy from
stem to stern. The State is once moro un-
der the control of Its own people, with in
telligence, integrity, and property at the
helm, nee paupcrism, ignorance, and
crime retired, and no wonder tho federal
court meets only to find one case in its
Jurisdiction for whole year. "No better
evidence of the general good order which
prevails in the community and no stronger
proof OF the loyalty Of the people TO their
government need or can be furnished"
says Judge b., "than is given by their
obedience to the laws, No doubt but
the law now is defence to the people
whom this charge addresses, and is not
wrested to their destruction.

The death Of Rodney 5. Church, says
an exchange, at one time a noted New
York politician, recalls an interesting but
almost forgotten little incident in the
political history Of the last generation, in
which he was prominent actor. In 1885,
a division arose in the Democratic party in
New iork, in consequence Of the nomina-
tion Of Gideon Lee as the candidate for
Congress. This nomination had 10 be con-
firmed at general meeting OF Democrats
a, Tammany Hall, and the friends of Lee,
anticipating opposition, assembled in large
numbers to support him. The selection
Of the chairman would test the strength
Of the parties, and Lees friends, the Tam
many men, entered the hall as soon as the
doors were opened by means Of the back
stairs, while at the same time the Equal
Rights men rushed into the room up the
front stairs. Both parties were loud and
bois,erous, each claiming that its man was
elected chairman, and in the confusion
that insused the gas was turned off, a
means Of terminating disputes that
has been not unknown in later years.
The Equal Rights party, either having
witnessed similar occurrences, or having
received some intimstion of the course cf
their opponents, had provided themselves
with candles and the then new invention,
locofoco matches, and the room was re-
lighted in moment. The Courier aud
Inquirer dubbed the anti-monopolists who
used the matches, with the name of Loco
foco, name which was soon after given
to the Democratic party, and which it has
since retained, though latterly, indeed, 1t
has seemed to care little for the old title.

The desire to make fortunes rapidly
lures hundreds and thousands from safe
and happy lives and steady industries to
step into the gap LEFT open BY their unfor-
tunate predecessors, and in most cases to
encounter the same bitter fate. The his
tory Of the past Is but the history Of
to-day; both arc records Of the
failure at some period Of their lives of
more than 70 per cent Of those who en-.
gage in commercial enterprises. There
are pursuits that are safer and more GER
tain in their results, though not SO allur-
ing In their possibilities Of large and
rapid fortunes. The mechanic arts and
agriculture always offer q true indepen-
dence and reasonable success to the c0pa-
bic, enterprising and industrious, but the
attractionsI of city life Iact like mag
nets TO the youth oil the country. In the
rural districts there.is always o scarcity
of labor; in the cities the labor market IS
overstocked, and in all professions and
pursuits the struggle for competency is
uncertain; while the highroads to fame or
fortune may be said to beso crowded that
they are almost impossible 10 those who
cannot or will not force or 'jockey" tlIeir
way by means more or less suspicious or
dishonorable.
