The gear of Chill horse is one O
the most curious looking arrange
ments in the world. The bit is com
posed of hatxpiece of iron which

against the roof OF his mouth: at tht
end of this is hole, through which
1s passed Il massive iron ring. about
four inches in diameter, which encir-
cies the lower jaw; in front of the
mouth another fiat iron ring is placed
to which the reins are fastened. The
whole affair weighs about five pounds
and is sufficiently powerful to- 5Eeak

The reins are formed of filely plaif-
ed hide, and are of about the thick

fernlinare ina long lash (chieote( about
four feet Long, at the tip OF which
there is q ball of lead sewn nm in
leather. When not required for use
this chicote is curled round the near
side of the rider, and hangs down on
the off flank of the horse. OF course
as may be readily, imagined, Il is a tor
miditable weapon in skillful hands !:

BANK SUSPENSION.

The National scandinavian Bank Of
Chicago To BE Placed i'm the Hands of
Recetvcr-Tho President Charged
with Carrying on Transactions OF n
Reckless and Improbable Character
and Absorbing All the Profits.
CHICAGO, Dec 10, 1872.
tho Times to-day publishes an expose OF the
AFFAIRS OF the Scandinavian National Bank OF this
city, from which 1t appears that Ferdinand S.
Winsl0w, the President, has been guilty OF fraudu-
lens transactions, which will result in the closing
OF tho bank to-day with heavy loss to the stock
Europe iOr the past two months, and 1t Is con-
Ndently asserted that he will never return. He Is
alleged to have been engaged In various specula-
t0ns, ell Of which appear to have proved unsuc-
the business OF the Scandinavian population OF this
city, and Its connections extended to every Scan
dinavian community IN the west.
euspcusi0n OF the bank was mainly the fact that
Winslow used up and absorbed the assets and
profits Of the concern In an endeavor 10 carry cer-
When he went to Europe It was for the purpose of
negotiating the bonds OF the roads, having pre-.
viousy incurred liabilities based on the contem-
plated sales of those bonds But his hopes In this
forced upon the bank thereby seems to have
worked its ruin. Mr.. SPHINX National Bank Exam
liner, states as his belief that the assets Of the
bank win fully cover its liabilities considerable
portion OF the latter are held abroad. or the
capital stock OF $225 500 some $4,000 was held by
bank In Copenhagen, Winsl0w held S4S,000 unpaid
for, and the balance was held in small amounts in
tnis city and among the Scandinavians in other
parts or the Northwest.
The amount que TO deposltors is stated at

THE INSURANCE QUESTION.
To THE EDITOR or THE HERALD:-

To THE EDITOR or THE HERALD:-
see by the last annual report OF the Insurance
Commissioner Of Massachusetts that, on four per
cent valuation the Mutual Life had Q surplus OF
only $40 above each 800 required to reinsure Its
outstanding risks. In other words, the margin OF
only $8 10 per cent above s0lvency. The policy
holders OF this company invest their money In 1t
because they have repeatedly been told and be-
lieved that the investment Is safer than any other
in the world and not subject to the contingencies
to which other investments are liaDle but on ex-
amining the subject 1t seems that margin Of only
$s 10 above the slO0 required to be solvent, ac-
cording to the standard tables, Is very small and
might easily be overcome. Would II not be well
for the Mutual to walt until this surplus OF eight
per cent amounts to forty fifty per cent upon It's
premium reserve before making this changer
am surprised to find the margin so small in the
case OF the Mutual Life, and had supposed 1t much
more than shown by the Massachusetts report
vessel freighted with the future interests of
80 many families should keep out In the open sea,
and not see how close 1t can shave on some rocky
promontory without injuring itself. II by the
course proposed by the Mutual Lie In the reduc-
ton OF rates this margin Is brought down very
much less, 1t seems to me that the policy holders
will be very materially injured by the change, as
their security will be greatly lessened. For one,
and would prefer to see the surplus run up higher
than at present than It lowered. confess that
cannot understand the object OF this reduction in
rates. The company has been doing good bus-
ness-about $35,OOo,Ooo last year-and the policy
holders are, no doubt satisfied with their dividends
The company would certainly be more secure by
doing o business OF 35,Oo0,OOO year on Its full
rates than 1t would by doing s5o,ooo,ooo at low and
insecure rates.
The truth OF the matter is that the policy holders
In this company DO not care to have their funds
expermented with. We are satisfied, as the New
York Underwater so aptly expresses 1t, ITO let
well enough alone.n Is IL that this company,
which is laying up five or six millions q year,
is dissatisfied because 1t is growing SO slow, and
wishes to monopolze everythingY Their funds
should be taken very good care or and their pros
poets should be very carefully studied and no risks
run which are unnecessary because they have at
rsk nearly $3.50 O0O, ,O0c. This Is very large sum
OF money, and will lave to be paid. II therefore
seems to me that this question should be most
carefully considered before being acted upon.
