Those who fear the destruction of our for
ests, resulting from the demand for hemlock
bark, will take comfort in the success of at
tempts to obtain tannin from other sources.
1t has been estimated that one cord of benz
lock bark produces one barrel of good tan
min extract, worth 500. 1t is now found that
one cord of alder will produce the same
amount, and one ton of sweet fern gives of
the best tannin $22 worth, besides value of
$3.50 in an inferior kind. There is said to
be considerable activity in Hancock county,
Me-, in the new industry of extracting tan
min from sweet fern.
Two neat and simple lecture experiments
are described in foreign journals F. c. G.
Muller, to show that air has weight, proceeds
as follows: A small quantity of water is
boiled in flask till the vapor wholly expels
the air. stopper, containing a small tube
drawn to point, is then fitted closely into
the flask. The whole continuance is then
placed on scale and exactly counterbal-
anced by weights. The lecturer then breaks
off the point of the tube and puts the broken
pieces back on the scale. By this time the
flask is cooled, and as air rushes in the scale
descends. Victor Meyer illustrates the in
crease of weight that occurs in combustion
by means of a short candle balanced on a
scale pan along with the following accesso.
ries: A small lamp cylinder surrounds the
candle, so close that it will nearly touch its
flame. In the cylinder there is piece of
wire gauze, which supports several pieces of
caustic soda. The scale is evenly balanced
when the candle is lighted, but after burn

to the treatment of Lung Diseases, and upon
his retirement he left with US books and papers
containing full particulars, showing that
every one can be his own physician and pre-

premiums collected during the year-an utterly
insignificant percentage. The expenses Of con-.
Quoting the business have been reduced to .
point between six and seven per cent of tn.
annual income. A still more remarkable fac,
may be elected by comparing the amount
paid for death and endowment claimss
with the revenue from interest and rent,
As the company has reached such
position that its annual death-roll doe,
not and will not increase, this comparison Ia.
a meaning. The annual revenue from invest.
ments considerably exceeds the claims from
policies maturing. Hence it follows that If IN.
company should never do any ncw business
but simply close up the old, its current reye.
nues would be sufficient to pay its losses,
More perfect security than this is hardly con.
ceivable in human institutions.
There has been large business done by tho
Mutual Company in discOunting and closing
endowment policies. That class Of insurance
has gone out of favor in recent years, and thi,
action of the Mutual Company is one Of the
many indications of an anxiety of insurance
officers to be rid of it altogether. Partly because
of this performance the amount and number
Of assurances terminated last year exceeded
the new risks. But even without considering
the discounted claims, it is evident that the
Mutual's business has nearly approached the
point of equilibrium where the new busl.
ness does little more than fill the gaps
made by death and maturing policies.
Under these circumstances there is, Of course,
no need Of costly effort for new business.
There seems to be no room for doubt as to
the future of a concern in such condition, since
there is no occasion for experiments, risks, or
changes in its management.

COLONEL SELLERS IN NEU-ORLEANS

Senator West rose to personal explanation
yesterday, and gave his account of the letter
from ex-Gov. Wells which Maddox laid before
the House investigating Committee. 1t was
not necessary for him to say much. But since
he saw fit to come into the scandal at all, his
friends will probably regret that he did not
come in with somewhat better effect. He has
a theory that when Wells wrote about millions
having been sent to NcwOrlcan5 to be used
in the interest of Tildcn, he employed
the large and generous style Of
Colonel Sellers, and only meant that
Il barrel of money was on tap; and when he
recommended "cOuntermovcment "to ar
" rest its productive results" he merely wished
to advise "that if money was to be spent on
zone side it should also be spent on the
"other.' With this Interpretation Senator
West appears to consider the letter al right );
yet we cannot see that the explanation ex-
plains anything, or that Wells is more attract
i've in the character of CO'Onel Sellers than in
propra persona. Neither do we think Senator
West was happier in his conjecture ~
to the uses of this money than in his
estimate of its amount. He informed his
listeners that the letter referred only to
his own reelection TO the Senate. When
Wells protested that he cOmprchendcd "his
"duty to the greatest living general, L. s.
Grant" that he felt how seriously his action
as a returning officer had augmented thc
magnitude of the destiny of the two great
"partiesn that he dreaded the effect of the
millions sent to Louisiana Gin the interest of
'Tildcn,' and wanted some millions for The
other side, he had nothing in his mind but Mr..
Vests chances OF getting another six years in
the Senate. All which anybody is at liberty
to believe who has a mind TO. We haven't
There can be little doubt that there was at
least one Colonel Sellers in New-Orcans about
that time, firmly persuaded that the Returning
Board had "milions in it," and bent upon
making the most of chance which was not
likely soon to happen again. Whether Wells.
or Maddox, or ickett was the chief actor in
the transaction i is perhaps not important to
know. Anybody who has studied the recent
politics of Louisiana cam imagine the emotions
Of statesman of the type prevailing there
when he discovered that upon the action of
this notorious and irresponsible Returning

empty treasury, but the title to the
Chief Macistracy of the United States, the
patronage of fifty thousand offices, and the
fortunes of the two great political parties
throughout the Union. a culver of patriotic
excitement must have run through him, from
pocket to pocket, and his mind frequently lost
itself in the contemplation of indefinite but
enormous amounts of money. 1t Is not I'M
natural that Pickett should have conceived
siuDcndous plans for the relief of the Con-
federatc widows and orphans, and Maddox
have walked boldly into the Office of the Sec
rctary of War and offered to negotiate for the
sale of the Louisiana vote as if it had been
his private property. IL never occurred 10
them that Louisiana should not be a matter
Of bargain and sale when there were millions
ain it,
We are sorry to see that some Of orr Repub-
,ican friends are inclined to defend certain of
the New Orleans politicians with rather indis-
erect zeal. These adventures are no credit to

let them shift for themselves. Perhaps in good
time they will do as Pinchbacll did and shift
themselves over to the other side. The
Republican cause docs not need such help
or such defenders. Their reputation is not
in dispute; it was settled long ago. Every
one knows that they would have cheerfully
sold out either Hayes or TIlden if it had been
in their power. The title of Gov. Hayes to
the Presidency rests upon 10 such unsubstan-
tial foundation as the character Of the Return
ing Board, and the newspapers which support
him will be led into cruelty false position
if in their zeal for the right cause they allow
themselves to appear even for moment as
defenders of what is indclcnsibe.

SAFETY ~ LIFE INSURANCE.

At a time when the temper of the public Is
sorely tried by the disclosures of loss, mis-
management and fraud in few life insurance
companies the annual statements of those
that are honestly conducted and perfectly sound
are pleasant reading. Take for instance that
of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of this
city. 1t amply repays perlSal. The examina-
ton of the State Superintendent shows that
the company has surplus of as
sets over its liabilities to p0cy-hodcrs of
more than ten million dollars. The company
announces that il is about TO distribute III
dividends among its policy-holders more than
three and a half million dollars. The whole
ten million might be similarly distributed if
the company chose to calculate its probable
revenue from investments at AZ por cent; but
instead. the estimate of future revenue is made
at per cent, and $GJ0,000 is set aside for
a contingent guarantee fund" An unusual
care in the examination is certified to by the
Insurance Department; the Superintendent
was present in person and looked through the
securities, and he gives the fullest possible
assurances that the funds have been scrupu-
lousy and honestly invested.
Even to casual glance ut this annual state
ment some striking features are apparent In
the mismanaged companies of which so much
has recently been heard, lhe item of balances
educ by agents" has been largo and very
doubtful asset. In the Mutuars statement this
item is about one-eight hundredth part Of the
