SALONICA
is a beautiful city on the North of the Danube
1t is the old Thessalonica OF the New Testament.
II rises like an amphitheatre from the bay, and
the poetry of nature and art are combined by
mingling trees and domes, SO as to make su-
purb picture. 1t has many points of interest;
among others, the fortress of seven towers
which stands on the site of the ancient Acropo-
lis, and commands glorious view bounded by
Mount Olympus. The Chaonsh Monastery
stands on Il height above the city, and oilers
healthy quarters for a traveller. Its present
caboyers are Greeks of that servile type that
sets an Americans teeth on edge to listen to.
When | was there the chief inhabitants OF
Salonica were Jews of a high type. many OF
them very wealthy and Franks of all sorts, as
western Europeans are called there. The He
brew element was the highest in point of cul-
ture and social display; and it was related to
me by an aristocratic English visitor who was
putting up with the Consul of his country,
while there, that neither his family nor that of
French Consul, though both highly connected
could minge in the first society there, because
Of the inability of their families to compete
with the splendor of dress and jewels of the de-
scendants of Abraham. 1t is well known that
the Turks have had as much as they could at
tend TO for years to keep the various Christian
sects from destroying each other. The Greek
Christian and Roman Catholics dislike each
other, and are in constant turmoil fighting even
over the mouth of the Holy Sepulchre in Jeru-
selem for precedence. OF course the Protestants
and Hebrew differ from these. The lower class
es OF Mohammedans are as bigoted as are those
OF other s5cts; but the government is tolerant
ana tries to protect all.

There are several noteworthy matters in this
table, among which we would have it especial
ly noticed that by the system on which The
Travellers has conducted its business, $3.50, 900
have been left in the hands of the rolicy-hold
ers, that on the mutual plan would have been
paid to the company, by which, after deducting
contributions towards expenses, portion
would have been returned to the policy-hold-
ers. Here, then, are ''dividends''-for anyone
who fancies the old, misleading pame-to the
amount of $850,000, which have been saved
to the policy holders in Advance. Does any
one believe that, if the company had collected
this $S50,000 from the policy holders, it would
have been able, after paying the expenses of
collection, caring for and returning the same,
to return the full amount, without resort to
funds accumulated in other ways? At least,
we do not
But further: although the company has dis.
pensed with collecting this sum from the policy
holders, it has furnished them an additional
security eight times as great as this $3.50 600
would have consti tuted, and one which is now
annually increasing with great rapidly; so that
the policy holders, while paying but seventy
five per cent of mutual rates, have actually
had greater security than mutual rates alone
could provide, and that under contract
from which the completely of dividends is
eliminated.
AS The Travellers is now at the end of its
first decade Of life business, and as the stamp
of public confidence through series of years is
the best evidence that plan can have, we give
below tina amount of insurance which tho oono
pany has had at risk at the close of each year
since it began business, and also, as matter of
interest, the death losses it has paid each year

STOCK LIFE INSURANCE
Rts Superior Advantages.

The Travellers Insurance Company of Hart
ford, began the issue of life policies in 1866.
Its plan of operations contemplated the charg-
ing of insurants such net premium as the
tested tables of mortality with fair rate of
interest would give, The rate of interest as
sumed was higher than that usually assumed
by mutual companies, and the premiums were
not loaded, as in mutual companies, to cover
the inevitable risks of fuctuaton But to Gov
er these risks and render the security in no de-
gree less than that furnished under the higher
rates of premium, there is paid-in capital
stock of 100000. By this means the comps-
ny is enabled to furnish insurance for prem
iums some twenty per cent. less than those
usually charged, and at the same time to give
the most unquestioned and unquestionable Sc
curity.
To illustrate this to the eye, we present the
following exhibit of the premiums actually re-
ceived by the company during each year since
it began business, and side by side with these
the premiums it would have received on the
mutual plan; the next column gives the differ
ences between these two classes of premiums.
or the amount which the policy holders in
mutual company would have had to pay to
cover the risks of fuctuation, and consequently
the amount upon which they would have bad
to depend for security against these risks; and
the last column gives the surplus of the compa-

which the policy Enthusiastically had against

CONTEMPLATED STRIKE ON THE OGDENs-
BURG.-The Portland & Oedensburg Railroad
Company narrowly escaped sudden discon-

of strike on the part of their employees
Nearly all the men employed by the company
this side of the Connecticut river have not re-
ceived auy pay for four months, and many not
for six. Repeated demands have been made
upon the company and the men have each time
been put off with vague promises. Last week
the employees held several meetings. and finally
it.was agreed to stop work this morning and
not resume till they were paid At the solicit
tation of the superintendent aud on his agree
ment to be responsible for two days pay, they
consented yesterday 20 continue work till We'd
nesday to give the directors time to fix up the
matter if they can. Tue case seems one of
peculiar hardship as many of the employees
have families dependent upon then. The
officers of the road are reticent about the
situation, the President saying that it i:
simply matter between the company and thu
employees, and does not concern the public.

Mr.. ROBBIE was good scholar fine musician,
and constant reader through life. After com.
pleting bis college course he commenced the
study of medicine, and was among the early
students of our distinguished physician, John
T. Gilman, M. d. In consequence of a prema-
tute explosion of small quantity of illuminate
of silver, which he had prepared as a chemical
experiment, he entirely lost his eyesight, and
the prospects and ambition of young man of
great promise were forever crushed. This &C
cident occurred in October, 1885, and for forty
three years he has been entirely shut out from
the priceless enjoyment of sight, and after these
manv years, on the anniversary day of this sad
visitation he is called home, inspired by faith

brighter and lighter vision. Mr., Robe has
