The Tropical Burke,

lFrom the Contemporary Review.
 Burke was far too Asiatic, tropical, and splendid to have anything to de with small economies. His expenditure, like his rhetoric, was in the grand style" He be- longs to Charles Lambs great race, ''the men who borrow" But, indeed, it wasn't so much that Burke borrowed as that men lent. Right-feeling men did not wait to be asked. Dr. Brocklesby, that good physician, whose name breathes like benediction through the pages of the biographies of the best men of his time, who soothed Dr. Johnson's last melancholy hours, and fer whose supposed heterodoxy the dying man displayed so tender a solicitude wrote to Burke, in the strain of timid suitor pro- posing for the hand of an heiress, to know whether Burke would be so good as to ac- cept f1 900 at once instead of waiting for the writer's death. Burke felt no hesitation in obliging so old friend. Garrick, who, though fond of money, was as generous hearted a fellow as ever brought down a house, lent Burke e1 ,000. Sir Joshua Key holds, who has been reckoned stingy, by his will left Burke e2,000, aud forgave him another e2, 900 which he had lent him. The Marquis of Rockingham by his will directed all Burke's bonds held by him to be cancelled. They amounted to tSU,UUU Burke'S patrl- monial estate was sold by him for e4, 900, and have seen it stated that he had received altogether from family sources as much as :f20, ,0G0. And yet he was always poor, and was glad at the last to accept pensions from the Grown in order that he might not leave his wife beggar. This good lady survived her iliustrious husband 12 years, and seemed then for the first time to have some success in paying his bills, for at her death all re- maining demands were found to be dis charged. For receiving this pension Burke was assailed by the Duke of Bedford, a most pleasing act of ducal fatuity, since it enabled the pensioaer, not bankrupt of his wit, to write pamphlet, now of course 8 cherished classic, and introduce into it 8 few paragraphs about the house of Russell and the cognate subject of g.'ants from the Crown. But enough of Burke's debts and difficulties which only mention because all through his life they were GAS up against him. Had Burke been moralist of the calibre of Charles James Fox he might have amassed a fortune large enough to keep up half a dozen Beacons6elds by simply doing what all his predecessors in the office he held, in cluding Fox's own father, the truly infam- ous first Lord Holland, had done, namely, by for his own use the interest on all balances of the public money from time to time in his hands as Paymaster of the Forces. But Burke carried his passion for government into actual practice, and cutting down the of his office to a salary, Ca high one, no doubt,) effected a saving to the country of some e25, 900 year, every far thing of which might have gone without re- mark into his own pocket.

INSURANCE IN NEW HAmPsHIRI

INSURANCE HIN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
 The people of New Hampshire trying an experiment in insurance which is of inter est to the people of other States. It will be remembered that soon after the passage of the ''valued policy" law by the legislature of New Hampshire the insurance companies which had been doing business in the State withdrew and refused to longer insure prop erty there.
 The Boston Commercial Bulletin presents some interesting facts bearing upon the working of the new law. During the first six months of the current calendar year there were eighty-four fires in New Hampshire which caused loss of $284 200. At this rate the loss for the whole year will be $568,- 400. The average annual loss by fire in the State for the ten years from 1876 to 1885 was $872, ,629. The loss in 1885 was $859, ,910. The figures for the first half of 1886 indi- cate, therefore, that the withdrawal of the security afforded by the outside companies has caused property owners to exercise extra ordinary vigilance. But this does not settle the question. The Bulletin points out the weakness of the situation as follows: AS for the insurance, the least said the better. In many cases parties will say nothing about it for fear of injuring their credit, and in many other instances the insurance, if it exists, is of very doubtful value. So far as we can judge of it, the main truth is unshaken. New Hampshire proceed as she is now doing, comfortably, as long no serious fire occurs. The largest one this year has been only $35, 900. But any one of those sweeping fires which will occur in the cities and large towns of every State would wipe out all the insurance capital in the State and entail wide disaster to private concerns. The property owners of the State can never afford to rest easy until they have insurance capital, de- mestic or foreign, sufficient to tide over a great fire.
 The capital and assets of the companies which withdrew were s123, ,410, ,0O0. The work formerly done by these companies has been turned over to five local stock compa- nies whose stock and assets amount to less than $2, GOO, ,0OO to 8 few State and town mutual associations doing business on the as- sessment plan, and to what the insurance commissioner of the State calls ''wildcats, ranging through the State on premium h11nt ntS
