THE DOCTORS PLOT.

DICHARD BRADLEY, at the age of
N twenty-one had come into possess
sion of an immense fortune, and at the
age of twenty-five he found himself one
of the most miserable fellows in exist
ence. Every source of amusement that
New York could afford, had been drain
ed to its dregs, and even the gaming
table had begun to draw its fatal shroud
around the youthful millionaire; but all
could not arouse his spirits from the deep
slough of despond into which they had
become plunged. In his bosom he had
cherished the feeling that he was DOOM
ed to irredeemable melancholy, and
though he endeavored by all the means
the complaint, yet it stuck to him with
the tenacity of leech. Day by day did
he grow more and more melancholy
the bloom had faded from his check
the blood began to course sluggishly
through his veins, and he actually en-
tertained the idea that the gates of the
grave alone could shut out his wasting
malady. The gaudy butterflies of fash
ion fiuttered around him, but he derived
no pleasure in their company. The
scheming misses and the flashing bellies
hovered about him with their batteries
and their smiles, but he turned from
them with loathing.
1t was in the middle of the forenoon,
that young Bradley was stretched out
upon his damask lounge, gazing vacant
ly at spider that was industriously at
work over his head, while in his right
hand he held volume of Byron IS works,
open, and turned bottom-side up. He
was in this position when old DIR. Potts
dam entered, but in moment more he
arose lazily to a sitting position, and Ian
guidly held out his left hand for the Wis
itor to shake.
Doctor, Pm glad to see you,' said
the young man, and hope you'll be
able to do something for me. shan't

Then why do you stay here in the
city Z" asked the doctor.
" Because I've nowhere else TO go.''
But why don't you travel?"
" I've Travelled all over the country =
what more could you ask ?"

In town that shall be nameless,
Lived two lovers young and blameless;
He of lofty mien and bearing,
She of natures finest mold.
As the bright and ruddy morning,
Or the rose that decks the garden;
Was the face of this fair maiden
This fair maid of finished mold.
Round her neck of milky whiteness,
Hung her auburn hair in ringlets,
Whilst her eyes of witching beauty
Kindled love in all who saw.
At all places in all weather,
These two lovers were together;
For the food of love is ever,
Naught but love and love alone.
Though they had at loves bright altar,
Sworn that not but death could sever;
Yet the cry, "to arms all hasten,"
William leaves his Mary dear.
Mary now in deepest anguish
Thus employs endearing language
Crying, ooh my dearest Williami
Can you, can you leave me So"
But the trump of war now blowing,
William must at once be going
So adieu my dearest Mary,
will live or die for you.

pearancc startled the youth, who at
first made an uequivocal motion to-
wards retiring, but, recollecting him
self, bowed, by lifting his cap, and
resumed his attitude of leaning on his
rifle. Neither Natty nor Mohegan be-
trayed any emotion, though the APP
pearance of Elizabeth was so entirely
unexpected.

claimed the young hunter, with an
emphasis that could not well be mis-
taken, and with a rapidity that show

thing but feeling.
"Why not, sir! returned the
maiden. "If it be inhuman, the sin

Misunderstanding dropped the mon
ey into his pouch, and throwing up
the end of his rifle, he freshened his
printing; and, first laughing in his
usual manner, he threw the piece over
his shoulder, and said
''If Billy Kirby don't get the bird

n very different affair from that of broken
bak nor unluclly fire underwater. Repairs are
needed, and less strain Cor the future. 1t Is,
IN short, a ease for conservative surgery.
What then should be done when life com
pany's reserves fall below the requirements OF
the statute Evidently the management that
has brought about such result should at once
be changed. Officers and directors who have
led the corporation into trouble are no longer
wanted, and the stockholders by whom chiefly
they were appointed ought to be deprived OF
further control. The concern should pass INTO
the hands of the policy-holders, as they are
the people to whom the great bulk Of It's prop
eity belongs. The reorganization should be
that of mutual company, and the policy
holders should elect a new Board o. Directors
and appoint officers in whom they have conn
dence The next step would be to ascertain
exactly the condition of the concern; probably
that could best be done by the Insurance De-
nartment. statement would be prepared
showing precisely what proportion the assets,
fairly valued bear to the whole claims OF pol
icy-holders-the claims not due being. so to
speak, discounted. This statement would give
the basis upon which the old policies might be
called in and new once issued. The new poll
cies-according to the value of the assets
might be for seventy-tiye, fifty, forty, or even
thirty per cent of their former amounts; but
the date or mode Of maturity and other obi
cations of each policy need not be altered.
Snch a settlement would be final as to the
old accounts. IL once the com any would be-
come solvent, and at thy option Of the policy
holders il might either undertake new buSI-
ness. or be confined to winding up its affairs.
As there wou'I lie no cause for fear about sol
vercy. most of the ! olicics would be kept run
nng. The plan does away with the tcmpta-
ton TO "wreck" a company. Its results
would not be those of a receiycrshlp, which
usually leaves little except for the lawyers.
The stockholders, Of course, would smart, but
they would not deserve to be provided for il
the disasters of thc company had come while they
controlled the management. Moreover, the
stock holders of life insurance companies are
as a class far better able to su,er loss than
the p0lcy-hoders. II might be added as pro-
babl' at least in the case of one large com
panv of that sort which has fallen mo tror-
ble. whose stockholders are mostly men OF
wealth and standing that they would willing
Is abandon the claim of their stock as la
biljiy Of the concern if they could step out OF
theii relations to it with untarnshed honor.

II is now about Eve weeks since the Russians
began to file across the pOnt0on bridges at Ga
latz and S>tOya. They have invested Rust
cbuk md Silistria, the fortresscs on the
wafer front of the Bulgarian Quadrilateral
They have captured Nikopos and Tiuoya
and have driven the Turks out Of the
Shipl,a dehles in the Balkan. They command
the shortest road from the Danube to Adrian
ople. On one flank their advance has been
checked at Plavna, but Oh the other they have
occupied Osman Bazaar, and in front they have
beaten back Sulciman's army. Although there
has been no decisive battle, the Russians have
gained many stratescal advantages Without
referring to these operations in detail, We may
draw the following conclusions:
|. The Russian staff arc adopting the German
tactics of massing their forces. They have
concentrated seven army corps ON their direct
line of operations between the Danube and
the Tundja Valley. The Ninth Corps
which formed the extreme right in Rou-
mania. crossed the liver at 5stoya, and
is now operating against the Turkish left
wing. The Thirteenth Corps which was con-
c,ntratcd at Galatz when the first passage Cf
the Danube was made, and the Eleventh Corps
which Was in camp between O'tenitza and llir-
sova, are now investing Rustchuk. The Fourtl
Corps, which at that tine was cross
ing the Pmth, has joined tn Eighth,
Tenth and Twelfth Corps on the main
road. between Sistoya and the Balkan.
The reserves are the Fifth and Sixtl Corps and a
portion of the Seventh Corps. The only isolated
column is the left wing, which has been march
ing through the Dobrudja aud is now laying
siege to Sistria. This force consists OF the
Fourteenth Corps, and possibly portion of
the seventh Corps. 1t now draws it, sup
plies from Roumana, and will be able to CO.
operate with the main army after the fall of
Silistria We have shown that seven of
the eleven army corps are now mdssed
on g. direct line of operations 100 miles
long, as the crow flies. This main army
has an available strength of mt least
24O, 900 men. 1t forms a great wedge dividing
the Turkish camIs ut Shumla and Widdin.

SAVING WEAK INsUR4ACE coHphN!&s.

SAYING WEAR TNSUR1hCE COMPANIES.
In the older processes of the art of surgery,
the orthodox practice consisted in simply cut
ting off the damaged limb. Within compare
lively few years it has been discovered thar
dis Gripping process in great majority o.
instance is unnecessary. The surgeon who car
save a limb is now recognized as of far greater
ability than the old-fashioncd sawholes. Con-
seryatiye surgery has won Astounding sue
ccsses and to-day holds place Of highest
honor in the hcalinc Grt. We propose to in
ouire whether II similar improvement cannot
bo devised in the methods Of treating, damaged
corporations, such as life INSURANCE companies;
bodies created by law, having their own sepa-
rate functions, and possessed OF an individuality
that would seem to give them some rights us
10 their own existence, but liable, when Sc
vercly injured. to be put into the hands of
receiver. who may not merely cripple them, but
dismcmber them entirely. II is not to he Won
dered mt that these corporations object 10 such
destruction. The recent ctioIts # the policy
holders of the Charter Oak Life Insurance
Company to save it from that fate are of II
sort that dc crycs sympathy and encourage
ment.

insolvcnt corporation is two-iOld: first, to pre-
vent further loss TO people who, unaware of
the condition of the company, might other
wise throw their money into IFS bottomcss
roeeptac' a.; second, to secure a division of the
remaining assets. When fire insurance com
pany fails, the latter Of these de>idcrata is
.he more important 90 the two, since such
failure is usually the consequence OF very
extensive fire, and great amount of money
has suddenly become due from the Insurance
companies t. people who need it Immediately.
IL is true that prOmptness in paying on the
Part Of a receiver is IA virtue rarely realized:
for instance, the losses OF the Chicago fire are
scarcely yet settled by the receivers of ,hc
companies that were crushed by that calamity.
Bat whatever the practice OF receivers may
be. the theory Of their appointment assumes
that tLey viii pay promptly whatever the ass
sets can furnish toward existing, pressing
debts.

! Grief the raturod de ts bear generally small
proportion to the whole. Most Of the liabilities
cannot fall due Tor several years. II is chiefly
ncedful to stop the operations of the concern

good money after bad. And it may be posi-
BILE. though it is rarely probable, that the man

larry vicious or extrayagant that that OF u
receiver will be less costly. Manifestly this Is

he deems it incompatible with his business
interests to employ any man who be-
longs to the militia. Yet if a riot should
break out in New-York, we will wager some
thing that this man would he the first and the
loudest to call on the militia for help. The
trouble with these ha'penny shOpkeepers Is that
when they nay a man wages they thlhN
they own him; and they have not enough
intellect g scope to grasp the idea that wheh
he takes his gun to protect the public peace
he is working much harder for their service
than while he is selling nails and ilat-irons.

this morning in another column. lie makes no
auSi0n to riot and arson; he wants no argu-
ment in behalf Of the perniciouS doctrines
which are proclaimed with so much lnS0ience
by Communistc rantcrs, and he wisely refrGins
from. any attempt to justify the oppression OF
strikers who stone other laborers away from
WORK which they would gladly undertake. lie

of reducing his wages but his logic only batteTs
some of the outw0rks of the eneny's citadel.
And vet. unless his vision is badly distorted,
he sees some things which ought not to beyislhe.
II is time for Railroad Presidents ard Vice
Presidents, and Managers and Vice Managers,
and all the rest, to reduce themselves to a
business basis. If there is any justice in these
charges Of useless special trains and private
cars. such extravaganza is an outrage upon
dcccncy, and to haunt such selfish displays III
the faces of men who think they have eliey-
ancc, and who are not skilled in making nice
distinctions. is, in these times, a crime against
the public peace.
