THE ORIGIN OF THE DOLLAR SIGN.
Emion Bulletin : "The question
propounded nt a London dinner,"
was no doubt tllllletilt of solution,
but had the erudite (?) gentlemen
applied to any Spaniard, "the ex
tensive reseat ch" would. I think,
have been prescribed. At the tisk
of destroying the pleasing allegorical
theory of Juno's Serpents, etc., the
pillars of Hercules and the "degen
eration of the sign plus ultra," I
will, with your permission, give you
my theory', one acquired many years
ago at the royal mint in Madrid.
"The sign $ as lepiescnting dollars,
with Americans, and pesos with us,"
said the olliccr, "means just this and
no more: it is used to distinguish
the difference between the paper
dollar and the silver one, the latter
being called sometimes "peso duro,"
or "peso fueitc," . c, hard or
soft dollar, hence ff fnerte, which
as now used arc the two or double
f 's, thus ff for example : T. 0. U.
dies fuerlos, or S10. It is as com
mon an expression for a Spaniaid to
use in speaking of a dollar to call it
a fucrtc or a duro, as for an Amer
ican to call it a silver dollar." You
may icly on the above as acorrcct ex
planation, and I think theic can be
found persons here who will cono
borate the above. Espaxol.
CHICAGO SEWERS AND DEATH-RATE.
As the cholera epidemic in 1819
fiO led directly to the introduction
of lake-water and the foundation of
what is in some respects now the
most magniiicent system of watet
supply in the world, so the repeated
epidemics of cholera and dysentery
led to the adoption in 18.j(! of a
system of sewerage which within
twenty-four years theicafter had
furnished more linear feet of 'ewers
per capita of population than any
other of the laige cities of the Union.
For fourteen years (1843-5C inclu
sive) the average annual death-rate
of the city had been 37.9l"per thou
sand, probably the highest of any
city in the United States ; during the
first fifteen ycai s of sewer construc
tion (185G-1870) the average annual
death-rate was reduced to 23.97 per
thousand, while fiom 1872 to 1881
inclusive the average has still further
fallen to 21. 40 per thousand. And
although theie have been marked
lluctuations from year to year lis
ing to 32.22 in 18(iG, and 'falling to
1G.49 in 1878 on the whole there is
a striking con elation between the
annual death-rate and the number
of feet of sewers per capita year by
year, independent of all other in
fluences. Science (sanitary num
ber). IGNORANCE AIDING CHOLERA.
Although the cholera has not yet
acquired any devastating force here,
there is no doubt that it has taken a
firm hold in 3Iadiid. The number
of cases daily is between thirtj' and
fort'. The well-planned measures
adopted by the authorities the
cleansing and disinfecting of houses
and streets hac ccitainly checked
the march of the disease ; but there
is one dilliciilty thej' have to deal
with which is well nigh insuperable
ignorance. The lower classes
have taken it into their heads that
the doctors have not only brought
the disease on purpose, but that
they are actually paid by some mys
terious agency to poison and kill
people. The other day I walked
through the lowest part of the town,
passing by the Honda de Segovia,
where most of the cases occur daily,
and saw a group of men and women
talking and gesticulating excitedly ;
they were discussing the malevol
ence of doctors who were, they be
lieved, determined to exterminate
the poor. Thus, &ome doctors in
those quartcis who have been inde
fatigable in their attendance on the
poor without any l enumeration, have
been insulted and even threatened.
In some cases the sick refuse to have
a doctor till the disease reaches the
last stage, when it is generally too
late. In other instances the sick re
fuse to take the medicine pi escribed
unless the doctor takcb a dose Hi st.
Of course most of tho doctors indig
nantly refuse to be dosed thus, and
the patient, who takes his refusal as
a pi oof of his .sinister intentions,
does nothing to got cuied and dies.
A scandalous incident occuired yes
terday. A man who was suffering
from cholcia, and who was sup
ported by a charitable womuu, pre
sented himself at the door of the
provincial hospital ; but, as all tho
beds were already occupied, he was
put into a litter and canied to
another hospital especially estab
lished for cholera patients. The
news began to circulnte that the
doctois were going to kill another
patient; ciowds of howling men and
women mobbed tho litter ; the pa
tient was diagged out and made to
run away, while the people held
back the hospital men and police to
prevent them fiom chasing him. Two
hours afterward the patient pre
sented himself or was brought to
the hospital in a dying state.

STATEMENT.
nPHD undersigned, a Committee of Di
X lectors ot tho Equitable Life As
suruncc Society of the United States,
appointed to foimul.iic the views of the
Board on the adantages oflercd by the
Society to the public, report:
1st The Society itsues all tho approv
cd forms of assurance, including Ordl
naiy Life, Ei dowment and Tontine po
licies. It is immaterial to tho Directors
which form of policy is taken by in
tending nssurcrs.
2d The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cashdhi.
dends and a sin render value; aroindis.
putable after three jears nnd pajnblc
immediately after pioof of death.
3d Tho premiums on a Tontine po
licy are tho samo as on tho Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only pay.
able in the event of death, tho holder of
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
the whole of tho reserve and tho nccu.
mulated profits in rash at the end of a
stated period; thus, during his own life
time, after his producing years aie past,
ho can, without any laiger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure thete
greater advantages.
4th Experience shows that the icturii
fiaid in cash on maturing Tontlno po
icies approximates to or exceeds the
amount of premiums paid by policy
holders, so that tho average cost of the
assurance will bo only nbout the interest
on tho premiums.
Gth Tontino policies, like others, are
paid in full in tho event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
aro incontestable after three years, nnd
payablo immediately after due proof of
death.
0th Experience bhowsthat tho mor
tallty is lower among Tontino policy,
holders, as tho better lives seek this
kind of assurances, which is a consider
able source of profit.
7th Tontino policies will bo made
non-forfcltablo under the laws of the
State, if so desired at tho time the as.,
suranco is effected.
8th Tho Tontino system is fuir and
just; its accounts aro nccumtely kept,
separate from oil other business, tho
funds judiciomly Invested and impiov
cd, and the accumulated prolltb faith,
fully guarded ami properly appoitlontd.
0 tli Tho Society has since Its organ!,
atlon transacted a larger amount of
new business than any oilier company,
while its new business for tho llitt hull
of the present year is $l,?S0,0CO largu
than that of tho llrst hall of 168). It
has Assets of SfGO.OOO.COO; over $11 000,
000 of Surplus, and its ratio of Surplus
to Liability is gieattr than that ot any
UUILT CUIIIJJilliy.
