THE DOCTORS BILL.

a well-kn physician Of this city has pre-
sented bill against the estate Of the late Mr.
Tilden for $4,000 for professional services
The figure was startling, but the doctor pro-
tests that it is not exorbitant. He devoted
himself to Mr.. Tiden during eight years, to
the neglect Of large practice, and-the infer
ence is navoidable-wlthout compensation
The distinguished statesman and millionaire
did not even do him justice in tho now famous
will, but treated him even more coldly than
If he had been a blood relation. The sum
named would be at the rate Of about S18, 900
year. which, as doctors incomes go, would
certainly be regarded as very handsome pay
except, perhaps, in the case Of few highly
distinguished specialists. 1t is possible, how
ever, that DR.. Simmons wanted to provide
against the shrinkage to which the courts and
the legal profession generally are in the habit
Of subjecting other peoples bills. He says he
can furnish an itemized account, which ought
to be found interesting by both doctors and
patients.
Now we venture to suggest that the most
remarkable, and for various reasons the most
instructive feature of this transaction is not
the size Of DIR. Smmons's bill. but the fact
that he should have been allowed to give his
services during eight years without any COM
pensaton We all know that Mr.. Tilden
loved the pleasures of procrastination with n
love surprising that of woman, but this was
certainly most surprising exhibition of his
fayoritc weakness. TO receive, during so
long period, and at times to monopolize, the
attentions of o successful physician without
paying for them, was an exceptional and ex-
aggerated instance of bad habit, which is
only too widespread. Mr.. Tilden did not sin
alone in this matter. though he made record
which it would be hard to break. His fellow
sinners, II they could be gathered together,
would make large, and IL might be said,
select, company. Almost any physician we
venture to assert, will confirm the statement
that there is no bill which is so long neglected,
or 50 often left unpaid altogether as the doc
] tors bill; and this 10 as true Of those who

The race conflict in the South Carolina
diocese Is sorry commentary upon the religion
Of the day. The presence of colored clergy
man In the Protestant Episcopal Convention of
that State a year ago caused great uproar and
led to the secession Of large body of clerical
and lay delegates. lie was the rector of
colored parish in Charleston, who had been
ordained by the Bishop of Virginia and had
been allowed to attend diocesan conventions
and conversations in that State. lie had been
educated at a theological seminary and was an
intelligent and Jealous churchman, and an UNI
assuming, industrious and devout priest of that
communion. The Bishop Of South Carolina
warmly espoused his cause and alienated there
by the affections Of large section of his
diocesan fold. During the last twelve months
there has been furious strife in all tho parishes
over this question of the admission of colored
delegates, clerical and lay TO the conventions.
There has been fierce controversy in the press,
and there have been IN many churches exciting
struggles over the election of vestres and dele

The latest news about the Boulangist craze
IN France is encouraging. II is that there is
