A Splendid Programme For the Closing Day. 7h Crowds Going Out to the Course— Track Talk. At the Track. This is the last day of the Second June Running Meeting of the St. Louis Jockey and Trotting Club, and its management are well satisfied with the week’s showing. Perhaps the first day’s races were the most interesting and exciting, made so by the many false and pretty starts that were made for the Association purse before the drum was tapped as well as the unhorsing of the three jockeys,-especially the tumble of Annie D.’s rider,.who bit the dust infront of the Grand Stand, as well as Lewis’ wicked fall while going over the first hurdle on the back of Verdigris, and the fall of Headlight’s rider at the third hurdle. These three acci- dents did not mar the events of the day, but livened things up, for the reason that eacn one of the Liliputian jockeys arose from the dust smiling and uninjured. The only other rider unhorsed during the week was Moriarty, who in the fall offof the back of Headlight yesterdhy was for the time being badly injured. Brown, the plucky jockey who piloted Joe Rhodes so well on to victory in the first day’s hurdle, came within a hair’s breadth of being thrown from the back of the gallant Joe yesterday, and though hold- ing his seat in a wonderful manner, was un- able to gain anything better than, third posi- tion with the favorite. 7 Next to the hurdle frace in point of pretty and close running was the coniest for the January stakes, when Lord Murphy kept Buford’s Good Night such close company, losing the first heat but defesting the gallant son of Enquirer in the other two rounds. This avas the second race that Lord Murphy has captured onthe Cote Brilliante track, his first extra day, the race for three-year-olds. This morning a cooler place than it been at any time during the week. course is in superb condition, andfa fresh, ex- hilarating breeze blowing hard from the south, which counteracts to a great degree the terrible heat of the broiling sun. The flyers who are to go in to-day’s races were all out and at work as usual this morn- ing, and appeared to bein excellent condi- tion.

Kimball sells away down in the pools not- withstanding his long legs. Murpby still swears that St. Louis is nearer the sun than any point On earth. Moriarty had a close call yesterday, but is ready for another tumble to-duy. This warm weather is unhealthy for fat men; 80 suys Col. Johnson, the boss starter. The most elegant hats at the grand stand were designed und made at Eckstein’s. This week's meeting is the most successful ever held here, and still we are not happy. The Texans yelled like Comanches when Verdigris came in the winner of the nurale. A consolation purse is the chief attraction to-day, with such flyera as Good Night, Bil Bass and Kimball in the list of entries. Mr. John Hobbs, who has had charge of the press stand at the course, has made himseif very popular with the reporters. At the great four-mile race ¥eld at Louils- Ville, last year, between Mollie McCarty and Ten Brovck, $37,500 was taken in at the gate.

June 14.~The Arctic exploring which formed part of Captain 5 , which at this time represented all the above hamed companies. Onthe 16th of Oc- tober, 1876, Mr. Celsus Price, State Superin- tendent of Insurance, returned to the Colum- bia Life the special stateinent with a demand for its return, with certain additions, ‘‘at as eurly a day as practicuble,’’ and in August, 1877, was appointed receiver of thecompany. This ended the actual existence of all these jifte insurance companies. In the latter part of 1876 Mr. Celsus Price, Superintendent of Insurance, proceeded against the St. Louis Mutuai, assuming that it was still a corporate body. Judge Wickham dismissed the case, and it was appealed to the Court of Appeals, where it Was reversed and remanded. The prayer ofthe petitioner was then granted and Fred. Von Pihul, Silas Bent and Willian: Spears were appointed ra- ceivers. Spears and Von Pil alterwards te- signed, or were relieved, and CAPT. BENT REMAINS SOLE RECKIVER, at the present time, and such brings the suit his attor: neys filed yesterday. Last fall certain policy-holders in the old St. Louis Mutual em- ployed Mr. Jobn M. Glover to bring suit against certain directors of the company on the ground that certain tands had been im- properly appropriated by them. The case was taken before Judge Wickham, Mrs. Mary A. Sheether, of Chicago, being the complainant. The Oourt decided thata suit of that kind could not be brought by a policy-holder, but must be in- stituted by the receiver, and that the receiver could not do it uulesa there first appeared to the mind of the courtsome ground for such preeeeding. Judge Wickham then appointed certain persons to examine into the charges made, and these gentlemen reported that there was ground for a suit. Whereupon a petition was filed by Capt. Bent, receiver. This was donein April just, the petition alleging that A CERTAIN BONUS FOUND had been used by the Mound Cit’ Mutual in 1874 to influence the transter to it of the assets of the St. Louis Mutual. It is necessary here to give the list of directors of the 5st. Louis Mu- tual at the time the transfer of 1874 was made. The names are as follows: i Wm. J. Lewis, D. K. Ferguson, Wm. T. Sel- by, John F. Thornton, J. G. Woerner, Wilbur F. Boyle, C. 8. Rogers, J. G@. Brown, Levi L. Ashbrook, I. N. Matin, IP. 8. Pfouts, Nick Scheefer, Jobn G. Priest, Geo. P. Plant, Theo. hartholow, J.

Britton) and secretary were authorized to assnme obliga- ttonsand expend asum™mot to exceed in the gregate the sum of $200,000, asthe ‘proba- ble cost’ of securing ‘the transfer and reinsur- ance of the St. Louis Mutual.’ ’’ The depositionsfof the above named gentle- men are known to bear on this point. Were certain directors of the St. Louis Mutual bribed to make the contract of 1874, and transfer the assets of their compaay to the Mound City Mutual? A gentleman who has seen these depositions and whose word is be- yond doubt, and who occupies avery promi, nent position in the city,and whw is a personal friend ofthe directors implicated gives the tollowing as AN ABSTRACT OF THEIR CONTENTS: Mr. Charles BH. Peek swore that at the time the transfer was, made, he was a heavy stock- holderin the St. Louis Mutual, and that he wasemployed by the managers of the Mound to effect the contract, he was given over 000 to use in accomplishing that he distributed thisfund among various directors, among them being Messrs. Boyle, Lewis, Plant and Pfouts, and that he had rea- son to believe Mr. John G. Priest also received a portion of it. Thst he wentto Priest and offered him a certain amount of money to favor the transfer, and that Mr. Priest declined to accept the money. but referred him to Mr. Ed. Wyman. That he went made the arrangement with him, paying him some $15,000. Mr. Ed. Wy- man swore that he received the money from Mr. Peck and that he divided it with Mr. Priest. Mr. Lomax swore that the bonus was given to Mr. Peck to accomplish the result in any way he might see fit, and Mr. John D. Da- vis confirmed some of the statements contained in the deposition of Mr. Peck. This,in brief, is what the depositions are said to contain. Receiver Bent claims that the directors implicated had no right to receive the bonus distributed by Peck, and fhat in so doing they defrauded the policy-holdérsa of the St. Louis Mutual Life Insurance Company. Of course, THERE IS ANOTHER SIDE to the question, and until that side is béeard,no couclusive judgment can be formed. The gen- tlemnen charged with receiving the bonus had eminent standing at the time,and those living have eminent standing now, one of them har- ing become a Judge ot the Circuit Court, and allofthem occupying prominent positions in social and business circles. A STORMY SCENE IN COURT. Judge Laughlin Goes for Lawyer Harris Without Gloves and the Latter Does Not Seem Inclined to Sub’? ;. There was a stormy old timein the Criminal Court to-day, and for a few minutes it looked asifthere would be a knock-down argument between his Honor Judge Laughlin and J. R. Harris, the well-known attorney. The matter all grew out of the Charles F. Betts and Sheriff Finn contempt case, who - were ad- judged in contempt by Jadge Laughiin for endeavoring to serve a writ of attachment on Henry Gross, a witnessin the matter of Reilly & Wolfort against the Broadway Savings Bank, when the said witness was a member of the grand jury. Charles McCune, the gdeputy who served the writ, was sent to jail for twen- ty-four hours by Judge Laughlin, and Notary Bell and Sheriff Finn were ordered to appear inthe Criminal Court to-day to show cause why they should not be adjudged in con- tempt. J. R. Harris, the defendant's attorney. pre- pared an answerto the charge, which Judge Laughlin held contained several severe strict- ures against-his integrity as a Court, the prin- cipal one being in ante-dating the charge on last Sunday, the sth of June. When the case was called this morning Judge Laughlin reprimanded Mr. Harrisina scathing manner and at great length. He held that the answer was a direct insult tu the Court and the integrity of the Court, and pro- nounced it as upparalieled in the history of calmly that the hasty but noth - ing re ~- serious, and the Court eeree to pick it to pirecoe (the answer em- racing fourteen sheets of foolscap). r.

Both Judge Laughlin and Mr. Harris were considerab ; agitated throughout the discus- sion, and the general opinion is that but slight provocation on either side is requtred to bring about a personal encountcr between the ge..tlemen. the offer The Fifth Avenue Pinafore Company.

Two roads stood before the Democracy for the presidential race. The one was a union of the Opposition or an alliance with the Greenbackers for the sake of suc- cess, even with the concession or sacrifice of some prestige or principle. The other was a refusal to surrender even the smallest particle of principle, no alliance with the Greenbackers, and an appeal to the best elements of the country under the best can- didate the Democracy can nominate. One road led to the Greenback vote, the other to the conservative, independent, thinking vote of the country. One road would mean 9 candidate like Ewing or Thurman, the other would mean a candidate like Bay- ard or Horatio Seymour. If Mr. Ewing is defeated this fall his de- feat would undoubtedly demonstrate the utter folly of a coalition at the sacrifice of principle, and prevent the party from mak- ing a mistake next year. It would then, as a matter of self-preser- vation, be compelled to choose the other road to reach the Presidency—and the only leader left to bear the pure banner of the true, old Democratic faith of honest money, honest elections and honest self-govern- ment is Senator Bayard, the big man from the little State. TRUE GREATNESS. The comments upon the magnificent cele- bration of the golden wedding of the Ger- man Emperor allude invariably to the greatness of Germany.

THE ST. LOUIS SCHOOLS. Society certainly has a right to expecta great deal of the scholars who pass through the whole course of the St. Louis schools. The past week has been given up mainly to the closing exercises of the various depart- ments, and the impression made on ail who have witnessed them has been most happy. It is very easy, indeed, to denounce school exhibitions as a bore and declare that they give no adequate idea of the condition of the schools, but this is not the truth. whole bearing and demeanor of the pupils, their self-possession, the skill they have ac- quired in the expression of their thoughts, or the self-command that enables them to perform any presence of an audience, all testify to the enduring results that have been wrought out by patient and faithful teachers. The intellectual exercise in the One of the most interesting features of the closing exercises has been the exhibi- tions of the kindergartens. That these are important in their formative on childish nature and most beneficial in their in- fluence, no one with a genuine interest in children can deny. It is indeed an inspiring sight, calculated to fill one with enthusias- tic hope for the future of children who en- joy such advantages, to note how their per- ceptions of form, color, beauty and rhythm are cultivated; how they are taught grace of movement and gentleness of action; how rudenes#%s repressed and respect for others inculcated, in these beautiful child gardens. Happy indeed are the little ones who are privileged to attend them; happy are the parents who can avail themselves of these rich advantages for their children; happy is St. Louis in possessing the most perfect and the most firmly established kindergar- in America, All honor to the weit ea at igre, Z, $$ which "\egeeeaaas and prejudice have so, often raised about it;.and above all, honor to the noblé lady to whese sclf-sacrificing efforts the inception and success of the St. Louis kindergartens are due—Miss Susie E. Blow. A coming generation shall do her the honor she deserves. Her work is so great, and we are so near it, that we failto perceive its grandeur as we shall when time and distance place it in its true perspective. The St. Louis schools have a national reputation, and deservedly so. Their super- intendent is one of the acknowledged lead- ers of thought of this age. In the direc- tion of so great an organization it of course must be that some mistakes will happen; it must also be, as Robert Collyer says, that there will be much more blossoming than fruit. But the blossoms are beautiful and the fruit will be sure to follow. The people of St. Louis, if they are wise, will more and more appreciate and foster their” present noble system of public schools. PUBLIC OPINION. The Graduates. ST. Louis, June 14. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: As a most interested observer and constant attendant upon the closing exercises of the schools during the present week I wish to note a few impressions. In the first place the St. Louis schools cer- tainly compare most favorably with the schools of any city inthis country. The ap- pointments of the buildings, the enthusiasm, earnestness and fine address of the teachers, the cultivated and self-possessed manner of the scholars, all compel the belief that the ed- ucational advantages of St. Louis are of the highest character, and must prove a great at- traction. to parents desirous of giving their children a good education at home. The educational system of St. Louis should be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars toit every year in the way of attracting and retaining the best classes of the westward moving population of the country. It is a significant fact that nearly three times as many girls as boys have been graduated this year. This may be a favorable or unfavor- able omen, as opportunity is given in this world of work for the exercise of the cultivated and educated faculties of these young women or other wise. Certainly we cannot expect them, having acquired good educations, to sit quiet- ly down and fold their handsinidleness. The very education of their faculties requires that they should’ find means of expression for those faculties. They will find their happiest expressions in some kind of re- warding labor that shall benefit the world and benefit themselves at the same time. who holdin their hands the control of all or- ganized labor, owe it to these educated young women that they shall have fair opportunity | . | by for remunerative work and wages if they de- sire it.

Men needtoc this subject and weigh it There are thousands clerical positio which could just as we filled by edacated wome ‘his would release mén % more directly prodiMive labor, which, according to political economists, is what we need to save the country from the impending danger. It would be more promising of valuable fu- ture results had the girl graduates upon the whole been a little older. Their average age could not have been more than seventeen. It is impossible that many of the studies of the latter years at school could make much inpres- sion on those who have seen only what life shows at seventeen. In listening to the various compositions read at the closing ex- ercises this immaturity of mind was mani- fested in several cases by the very subjects se- lected for discussion. It is not probable that any young woman of seventeen can offer any new or original thoughts upon the difficulties by men , and ought to be, of a paper currency, or the influence of Greek | It only causes in thoughtful sentiment of pity for of the civilization. hearels a the immaturity questions opon which the greatest thinkers of the age disagree, or who asserts that women who have given life-long study to the promo- | their own sex are Sach tion of the interests of anomalies in nature. sions may call out the trap applause of callow young whose only conception of womanhood is that of a defenseless, heipless, beautiful inefficien- cy, but it offends those who understand the real magnitude and importance of the princi- ples involved. It isto be noted that those essays Which most interested the audiences were those upon some every-day subject, which the student could really have original thoughts about, and could express simply and truly. ‘*‘Our Diplomas’’*was an illustration of such a composition at Mary Institute, while the valedictory address of Miss Lucy Bent at the same school was a fine illustration of really origina! and appropriate thought. The valedictory address of Miss Agnes Reaser, at Mrs. Cuthbert’s sechool, was another most beautiful illustration of the interest and elegance with which the every-day topies of life can be invested when only the young writér is taught to think for herself. Her es- say Was entitled ‘*‘What Next?’’ a most ap- propriate and natural questfon for a young lady just graduating. The unaffected and ele- gant manner in which both these young ladies read their essays was one of the best proofs of the excellence and thoroughness of the train- ing they had received. And in closing I must remark that the ad- dresses of Dr. Eliot at Mary Institute and of Rey. Dr. Reasecr at Miss Cuthbert’s school were both entirely new in sentiment as addresses to young women graduates. Rev. Dr. Eliot’s was necessarily short, owing to his health, but every word was golden. He welcomed young women to ali the wider and higher possibilities of life afforded by an advancing and refining civiliza- tion. Heurged upon them to be guided above allthings by the sentiment of duty. Rev. Dr. Reaser’s address was witty, impres- sive, and at points eloquent. He, too, recog- ized the constantly broadening field of wom- an’s influence and action; he spoke inspiring words about achievement and usefulness in the future opening before them, and alto- gether left the best and happiest impression on the minds of all. Considering that the hour was late when he began speaking, and the audience somewhat wearied, Dr. Reaser’s address was certainly the most successful graduating address we have ever been privileged to hear.

Ain, — A Season of Fine Triumphs and Creditable Defeats. - — The Great International Sculling Match on the Tyne. - —_ porting Sparks from a Varie- ty of Anvils. The Races. If any donbts were entertained in regard to the success of the spring running meeting ot the St. Louis Jockey Club, théy were dispelled by the superb racing 6t.the week. now ending and the fact that the aggregate attendance was better than it was last year, while the throng of Thursday. was.one of the largest gatherings at any sporting event ever heldin this country. The twelve or fifteen thousand individuals who were packed together ‘‘within the gates’’ on that occasion gave an emphatic voive to the assertion that St. Louis will have its Derby Day as well as London or Louisville, and next year it is safe to say that St. Louis will be an objective point for the most noted racers in the country,and, instead of requiring much eoaxing, their owners will be only too glad to have their emulations over what is cer- tain to be one of the chief eourses in the world, and upon which many notable equine battles are destined to be fought. Inawordthe Jockey Club is directly and firmly on its feet. The directors have 1 earned, from errors in the past, to avoidthem in the future,and there is every reason to believe they will not retrograde from their present popular stand, but appreciate the fact that the Cote Brilliante track should be made a resort and a benefit for the general public, from which it must draw its means of ‘‘carrying on the war.’’ A resume of the week’s work is herewith presented: OPENING DAY—TUESDAY. The extreme fascination and attraction about running races is the uncertainty constantly at- tendingthem. A racer’s prominence is short- lived, .nd where there is any considerable col- lection of blood gathered there are certain to be surprises and new turf luminartes forth- coming. The best of judges go astray, and not infrequently the ‘‘short end’’ proves extreme- ‘ly lone. The opening race was the mile and an eighth ~ dash, for allages, for the Association purse of $300. There were thirteen starters, those named in the pools singly against the fleld be- ing Ward’s chestnut gelding Essilah, by Lever, out of Sally of the Valley (the favorite), W. Jennings’ sorrel horse Glenmore, Sam Ecker's gray stallion Bill Bass, Barkley & Huggins’ bay mare Ella Rowett and T. J. Williams’ Check- mate, a Planet gelding, tour years old, which brought a fair price. The others were Janitor, Kilburne, Florence Payne, Annie Wheaton, Uncle Dan, Garry Owen, Malacca and Harlem. | The race proved a warm one between Check- and Bass, ana the former, good riding on the part of the now famous darkey.

The hurdle race, mile heats, over four bur- dies, was an interesting close to the day‘s sport, and a very close race it proved between Joe Rhodes, M. Yuung’s six-year-old bay gelding—remembered from his work here last year—Hart’s Redding and John Granger’s Can- non. Rhodes k both heats in 1:53% and 1:5%. Severalot the jockeys had falls, but none were seriously hurt. Verdigris, who sold about even with Joe Rhodes for first choice, was distanced in the first heat.

Rice’s King Faro was so prime a favorite that no odds would induce or tempt any; one to bet against him, The pools resolved to sales on second place, Short Line having the call over Jim Bell. The shrewd ones’ calculations were upset, bowever, for Short Line won handsomely, taking both heats in 1:51 and 1:48—not remarkable time. Short Line is a bay gelding, 5 years old, by Leaming- ton, damimp. Inverness, and was propelled by the little darkey Murphy. THURSDAY—THE BIG DAY— was marked by four fine and important races, and the largest attendance at any sporting event ever held in St. Louls. The opening race was for an association purse of $590,a two mile dash forall ages, with eleven starters. Inthe pools Weisiger's Incommode sold best. while Buckner, Cheek- mate, McHenry, Kilburn, Athelstane, Le Roi, Garry Owen, Janitor, .Sweetheart and Jim Murphy ranged downin the prices bid.

Eastern Prices Compared to Those Here. ‘*No one could have supposed,’’ writes a lady correspondent from the East, ‘‘thatin one particular at least all the large Eastern cities, even New York, that head center of trade, fall below St. Louis in one all-important thing—the valuation of gold, silver and precious stones. Nothing could have exceeded my astonishment to find that Mermod, Jaccard & Co., ot St. Louis, are now selling excellent goods—identi- cal with those of the best Eastern houses— ‘much below any of the figures here, where everything is supposed to be the cheapest. The difference is very perceptible and marked to one who looks into the matter minutely, and careful investigation will establish the fact beyond controversion that in ai- vertising to sell goods as low as is compatibie with§success in business, and any profit at all. this firm carry ont their proposition to the letter. Those who desire ap oufit of bracelets, watches, chains, lockets, veil pins, sleeve but- tons and rings had best purchase them in St. Louis of Mermod, Jaceard & Co. before coming East, as they could make at least twenty dol- lars out of every bundred. This is especially true in ladies’ ornaments and finger rings, but no less discernible in silver piate. The old prices remain steadtast in New York anda general apathy ag regards buyers. You can buy or not, and atter leaving such induce- ments behind, the probability is that you will not, but very few reons would believe that St. Louis nolds this advantage over the East.

The houses will be almost remade and sochanged that former occupants will hardly know them. Reception rooms, reading-rooms, supper-rooms, bath-rooms, billiard-rooms, ete., will be supplied. The club already numbers 230 members, and active solicitation of membership hs already ceased. The grounds surrounding the club- house are already beautiful, but they will be made more so by the introduction of fountains, rustic seats. etc. The total improvements that will be made are estimated to cost upwards of $20,000, and the money for the saime is already in hand.

Cobb, general passenger agent ot the Indi- anu polis and St. Louis Railway, also of St. Louis. Theceremony took place in Trinity Episcopal Church, Cleveland, the Rev. uv. W Brown, rector, Officiating. Only the immedi- ate relatives of the contracting parties were present. After the ceremony there was a re- ception at the residence of Mr. Tneodore Ste- vens, cousin of the bride, and immediately atterward the young couple left for St. Louis, via Chicago. They arrived in the city on Friday morning and took apartments at the corner of Jefferson avenue and Olive streets.

Of course,all who held them on the races this week were happv,but,to our mind,the winni.g ticket of the present time is low prices, and the more thoroughly are we convinced of that when we see the enormous business that is al- ready done in the retail department of Sim- mons Hardware Company, corner of Ninth street and Washington avenue. They keep the | largest assortment of goods in Hardware and | House Furnishings that have ever ben in one house, and, from the day tbe, opened, they have sold goods at such wonderfully low prices that their business even in this hot weather keeps them justas busy as possible from ‘‘early mornto dewy eve.’’ If you want anything that might be construed tocome under the general head of hardware, cutlery, sporting goods or house farnishing eoods, you can rely on finding what you want at this establishment, and what ts far better, you aresureto find it at reasonvie prices. 7 a Startling.

Cheapness is just now everywhere a great desideratum, and when itis combined with elegance thrice lucky are those whoinvestin goous bought of Burrell, Comstock & Co. Their name is a suffi- cient guarantee ofthe worth of anything in their line, as,although they mark down prices, they never offer inean or cheaply made goods.

It is not doubted fhat men have a home in that place where each one has estab- lished his hearth and the sum of his pos- sessions and fortunes; whence he will not depart, if nothing calls him away; whence if he has departed he seemsto be @ wanderer, andif he returns he ceases to wander.—([Definition trom Civil Law. 4 - ———— —— **Then stay at home, my heart, and rest; - The bird is safest in its nest ; O’er all that flutter their wings and fly A hawk: is hovering in the sky; To stay at Lome is best.’’ —[Longfellow. About Servants. Wer daily hear such multitudes of com- plaints of the inexperience and incapacity of servants, particularly those newly employed, that we think a reasonable defense of them may not be out of place. How can a lady who employs a strange servant and turns her loose in the kitchen, often without even gener- al directions, be surprised if the work is not satisfactorily done. Even ‘the most efficient cook cannot intuitively know the peculiar tastes of her employers. She must be either directed or given time to discover them. If Mrs. A. likes more pepper in her soup than Mrs. B. how is the new cook to know it uniess she 1s told. No. Much of the inefficiency should be attributed tothe mistress instead of the ser- vant. If they would givea little attention to the kitchen, a little supervision and a _iittle explanation, there would not be so many complaints of the clog- ging of the wheels of the domestic machinery. They will not run smoothly without oil, and this oil the mistress must supply. When this is done many of the grumblers will discover that there may be some good, even in ser- vants. : .\@ ’ How to Prepare Food for Invalids. ‘*The lesson to-day,’’ said Miss Matilda L. Dods, as she teok her stand behind her kitchen table, ‘‘is upon sick-room cookery.’’ VARIOUS KINDS OF BEEF TEA. I propose to show you how to make‘four dif- ferent kinds of beef tea. The first that I shall show you is made ina very few minutes, and is used where it is required ina great hurry, as sometimgs happens.

The next kind that I shall show you is used there the digestion is impaired. It is as easily ligested as water. For this I ta*e the same i of beef and cut itexsvtly as before.

All the sediment will fall tothe bottom and the fat will rise to the top. Remove the fat with paper as before and pour off the clear tea from the sedi- ment. Next we have uncooked or raw beef tea. You should make only a small quantity at once, as it very soon gets sour. Take steak from the topof the round, cut across the grain. Then shred or scrape down with a knife, leaving the fibre.

Lastly, we have the long-made beef tea, ich you make when you want to keep a pply on hand.

GRUEL AND PORRIDGE. For gruel I require halfa pint of milk, a small tablespoonful of oatmeal, a small pinch of salt (we don’t make gruel for very sick persons, sothat it is safe to use salt), half a teaspoonful of sugar and a piece of butter the size ofanutmeg. First put the milk in a small saucepan, thenin a basin put.the oat- meal and break it with a little cold water; pour it intothe milk and stir until it boils; let t boil fre minutes. Atthe last minute add Ar and butter and then strain. The meditm oatmeal is the best for gruel. | “STEAKS AND CHOPS. To prepare a beefsteak for the sick room, take a porterhouse steak cut an inch thick. beat it with arolling pin, which makes the _ meat tender and softens without breaking the fibre; put on no salt or pepper. If you usea coal fire cook from seven to ten minutes, turning constantly to prevent the juice from ‘dripping. When done put on a very hot | place and sprinkle over it salt and pepper and a very little butter. You will find that the uit will draw out the juice so that there will plenty of gravy. Cook a loin mutton chop same way but do not keep it over the so long.

We have no patience. with the far- cal to be willing to make the interior of his home cheerful and comfortablé., We have no patience with a farmer who has no apprecia- tion at all of what are expressively. known as the ‘‘refinements of home life.’’ But what are the refinements of home? It is unfortunately true that each individual must answer the question for himself, and that, consequently. in a majority of cases it must be erroneously answered. We can- not make ‘‘a silk purse out of a sow’s ear,’’ nor can we drum into the head of a dirty, heedless, thoughtless, selfish man that it is | as much his duty to attend to the brightness of his own house as it is to eat mgals thrice a day. But there are hundreds of our readers who are refined at heart, and do not always show that they are _ refined = sim- ply because ‘‘the refinements of home’’ have never been present to them in a forcible man- ner. There are others who from education take a partial or distorted view of what every man owes to bis family and to every other man. For instanee, we have neighbors who own fine barns and houses. The houses are furnished as well as need be—sometimes ele- gantly. Their animals receive good care; ev- erything indicates prosperity—save one, viz. : the dooryard—the lawn—the strip of ground between the dwelling and the road, by-what- ever name it may best be called. That is ven over to weeds and to an occasional stunted fruit or ornamental tree. Now, there is nothing that so enhances the appearance of the house it- self and of the entire premises asa meed of attention to this same piece of land. Why is it not freely given? In reply to this question squarely put to good farmers, we have been told, “Ob, it’stoo much bother:’’ or, ‘‘It takes too much time;’’ or, ‘‘It costs too much;’’ or, that ‘‘Itis all hifalutin; what good does it do?’’ In such answers we see merely a disregard of the refinements of life. Such replies can not be supported by reason. Is it too much trouble to have one’s floor carpeted? Does it takefsway too mucb time to set a neat, inviting table for the daily meals? Is it hifalutin to black one’s boots and put on the dress-up suit for church or Sabkbath-school? What is hifa- lutin in one sense is hifalutin in the other, and the only difference is in degree. The orderly and even beautiful appearance of the grounds about home is, to our way of thinking, of just as much importance as orderliness or beauty in any oiher part of the homestead or farm. Aye, if we were called upon to neglect our lawn on the one hand or our Sunday dress on the other, we should choose to neglect the lat- ter and feel that we acted wisely. Woman in Her Hours of Ease. That versatile journal the Detroit Free Press publishes weekly a supplement of two small sheets devoted chiefly tothe outpourings of the Western female heart. What the women of the frontier think, how they feel, all that they know—these are the topics laid bare. Confes- sion, information, advice and consolation chase one another up and down the glowin page, and the reader comes upon any one o them when perhaps he least expects it. ‘*No!’’ exclaims a fair writer; ‘‘the mania for flowers does net torture its victim—does not impoverish, but enriches in so far as all pure vieasuresdo. It gives an added zest to toil, a new charm to the glories of God’s beau- tiful world.’’ ‘‘I cannot understand,’’ says another, ‘‘why women will run the risk of losing their husbands’ society and love merely for the sake of gratifying an over- fastidious taste. If they do not like tobacco did they object to his using it during the days of courtship? Andif they objected then and failed why did they marry?’’ A third re- minds her sisters that *‘the women of this world are placed bere by an Infinite Being to beautify their souls as Well as to adorn their bodies; and men are not the flimsy, ethereal beings you appear to make them.’’ A fourth wants to know ‘‘who has not felt the tnrilling shock and the dispersion of one’s life blood through the whole body and soul to the furth- est capillaries of the system on the news of a great, a cherished, a famous personage making his appearance in your very town, your very neighborhood, your own ee with the very prospect of seeing him, hearing him, and being near to him’?’’ Very touch- ing is the following instance of pious resigna- tion onthe part of afifth: ‘‘I, too, lost my little boy, an only child, a bright, manly little fellow of eight years. Althoughit has been aver two years since he was laid away, and Heaven ias blessed me with a sweet little girl, who is now seventeen mortks vid, 1 still feel his loss.” Almoet its equal in simple pathos is this freui DUMber six: o **T am a married woman and have to endure a deal of the tobacco smoke that ‘so many of the sisters complain of.

I am trying to answer a columeI noticed 1n the Sat- urday evening’s DiIspatcu, May 3lth, the subject of which was, ‘‘Reduction in Servants’ Hire.’’ I, in Self-Defense, take the liberty of replying to it. Allow me to ask, Who is that kitchen Mollie without Petti- cots that had enough courage left in his little self to say that? He is neither Man are Gentle- man, as neither one of the two above named would stopto trifle with ladies’ household duties. Weneed no reform on that subject. Reduction in servants’ hire is only the work of amoment, that leaves to be explained. Girls, on an common average, work fo: amere nothing now. A Girl that is fully competent of doing her work can get fair Wages no matter where she goes. Ladies that have been used to help ail their lives know better than ask Girls to work for noth- ing. Girls that work for a living where in they try to be respected by their employers Do not work for accommodation. They .work for their money, and feel independent. They Do not feel dependent, but much the reverse. very independent about the matter.

But Thoreau and Burroughs are not essentially alike. Thoreau is always the master, Burroughs always the disciple. This little book, ‘‘ Locusts and Wild Honey,’ ’is a collection of rural essays, or scenes,in Bur- roughs’ very best style. He has moved him- self far from the madding crowd, and reading his§pictures of dale and brook, amid the bustle of what other men live for,has ail tne beautiful effect of the meliow and unlooked for calling of the flute] in what was a second before the full crash ofthe orchestra. First hear him on the blessed bees: Tre honey bee goes forth fromthe hive in spring like the dove from Noah’s ark, and it is not till alter many days that ske brings back the olive leaf, which in this case isa pellet ot golden pollen upon each hip, usually obtained trom the alder or swamp willow.

Hereisafisherman atterthe very heart of Izaak Walton: The other day I was sitting with a friend up- onahigh rock in the woods, near a small stream, when we saw a water snake swimming across a pooltothe opposite bank. Any eye would have notedit, perhaps nothing more. A little closerand sharper gaze revealed the fact that the snake bore something in its mouth, which, 28 we went down to investigate, proved to be a small cat-fish three or fourincbes long. The snake had cap- tured it in the pool, and, like any other fisher- man, wanted to getits prey to dry land, al- though it itself lived mostly in the water. Here, we said, is being enacted a little tragedy that would have escaped any but sharp eyes. The snake, which was itseif small, had the fish by the throat, the hold of vantage among ull creatures, and clung to it with great te- nacity. Thesnake knew that its best tactic was to get upon dry land as soon as possible. Ir could not swallow its victim alive, anda it could not strangle itin the water. For awhile it tried to killits game by holding it up out of the water, but the fish grew heavy, and every few momentsits struggles brought down the snake's head. This would not do. Compress- ing the fish's throat would not shut off its breath under such circumstances, sothe wily serpent triedto get ashore with it, and after several attempts succeeded in effecting a land- ing on a flatrock. But the fish died hard. Catfish do not give up the ghostin a hurry. Its throat was becoming congested, but the snake's distended jaws must have ached. It was a petrified gape. Thenthe spectators be- came very curious and close in their scrutiny, and the snake determined to withdraw from the public gaze and finish the business in Rand to its own notions. But, when gently but firmiy remonstrated with by my triend with his walking-stick, it dropped the fish and retreat- cd in high dudgeon beneath a stonein the bed of the creek. The fish. with a swollen and an- gry throat, went its way also. Here is a@& pastoral, apoem almost on the most luscious and lovely ot fruits—the wild strawberry: Adam is still extant in the taste and appetite of most country boys. Livesthere a boy who does not Jike strawberries and milk—yea, per- fersit to any other known dish? I am not thinking of a dessert of strawberries-and- cream ; this the city boy may have too after a sort; but bread and milk, with the uddition of wild strawberries, is peculiariy a country dish; and is to the taste what a wild bird’s song is totheear. Whenlwasa lad and went afield during the strawberry season, I was sure to return at meal-time with a lining of strawberries in the top of my straw hat. They were my daily food, and I could taste the liquid and gurgling notes of the bobolink ip every spoon- ful of them:and at this day to make a dinner or supper off a bowlof milk with bread and strawberries—plenty of strawberries—well, is as near to being a boy again as I ever expect to come. The golden age draws sensibly near. Appetite becomes a kind of delicious thirst—a gentle and subtle craving of all parts of the mouth and throat, and those nerves of taste that occupy, asit were, a back seat and take little cognizance of grosser foods, come forth and are played upon and set vibrating. Indeed, I think if there is ever rejoicing throughout one’s alimenta household—if ever that much abused servant, the stomach, says amen, or those faithful handmaidens, the liver and spleen, nudge each other delightedly, it must be when one, on a torrid summer day, passes by the solid and carnal dinner for this simple Arcadian dish. Burroughs probably never got closer to na- ture’s heart than in these few lines, fuller than all the rest of the book of Locusts and Wild Honey: I have been a seeker ot troutfrom my boy- hood, and on all the expeditions in which this fisb has been the ostensible purpose I have brought home more game than my creel show- ed. In fact, in my mature years,: I tind I got more of nature into me,more of the woods, the wild, nearer to bird and beast, while threading mny native streams for trout, than in- almost any other wer. It furnished a good excuse to go forth; it pitched one in the high key; it sent one through the tat and marrowy piaces of field and wood. Then the fisherman hasa harmless, preoccupied look; he is a kind of a vagrant that nothing fears. He blends him- self with the trees and the shadows. All his approaches are gentle andindirect. He times himself to the meandering, sqliloquizing stream;its impulse bears him along. At the foot ofthe water-fall he sits sequestered and hidden in its volume of sound. The birds know he bas no design on them, and the ani- mals see that his mind isin thecreek. Huis en- thusiasm anneals him and makes him pliable to the scenes and influences he moves among. Then what acquaintance he makes with the stream ; he addresses himsell to it as a lover to his mistress; he woosit and stays with it till he knows its most hidden secrets. ns through his thoughts not less than through its banks then; he feels the fret and thrust of every bar and deg W here oe “yt ~ his urpose eepens ; w shallow "Phe indifferent.

Alert and wide-eyed, one picked his way along, startled now and then by the sudden purstin up ofthe partridge.or by the whistling wings o the ‘‘dropping snipe’’ pressing through the brush and tive briars, or finding an easy pas- sage over the trunk of a prostrate tree, careful- ly letting his hook down through some tangle into a still puol, or ney in some high som- bre avenue and watching his line float in and out amid the moss-covered bowlders. In my first essayings I used to go to the edge of these hemlocks, seldom dipping into them beyond , the first pool where the stream swept under.the roots oftwo large trees. From this point P could look back into the summit fields a the cattle were grazing; beyond, alflwas gloom and mystery; the trout were black, and, to my young ap ee the silence and the shadows were blacker.’ But graduully I yielded to the fascination and pene- treated the woods farther and further on each expedition, till the heart of the myster? was fairly plucked out.

Now, we see the wild beauty uncaged, and note its manner and temper.How surely it creates its own draft and sets the cur- — going, as force and enthusiasm always will! It carves itself a chimney out of the fluid and houseless air. A friend, a ministering an- gelin subjection; a fiend, afury, a monster, ready to devour the world, if ungoverned.

We did not now how near we were to human habitations, and the report of the lumberman’s mallet, tike the hammering of a great woodpecker, was music to the ear and newstothe mind. The air was still and dense, and the silence such as alone broods over these little openingsin the primitive woods. My soldier started as if he had heard a signal gun. The sound, coming so far through the forest, sweeping over these great wind-barps of trees, became wild and legendary, though probably made by a lumber- man driving «a wedge or working about his Mitie story, with the scene laid in an English atbedral, to appear in the July St. Nicholas.

The distance walkec was be- tween fifty and sixty miles. The ‘‘Souvenirs’ of Mme. Le Brun are about to apnear in an American edition issued by K. Worthington, the two volumes complete in one large 12mo. Mme. Le Brun was equally celebrated tor her japon | ano skill at portrait- painting. She took the likenessgs of some 650 persons Of more or less distinction, among whom were Marie Antoinette, Mme. de Stael and Lord Byron. Her souvenirs deal with the poble and illustrious of the end of the eight- eenth and beginning of this century. In a brochure ip eas A published in Paris by M. Weill, under the title of La Republique de Balzac, du Sue et de Henri Heine, a witty defi- nition is given by which Heine tried to recon- cile the extreme Socialist theory of Sue with the reactionism of Balzac. As day cannot ex- ist without night, he said, or man without wo- man, and as two dissonances make a harmony, so the perfection of government is ‘‘a re- pews governed by monarchists,or a monarchy yrepuLlicans.’’ This was said at a breakfast party in 1847. - —— JOURNALS AND JOURNALISTS.

At the two conventiens in Columbus on Wed- nesday there was a large array of special cor- respondents.

He looked in at the door and snicker- ed, then in atthe window, then peeped down from between the ratters and cachinnated till his sides must have ached; then struck an at- titude upon the chimney and fairly squealed with mirth and ridicule. In fact, he grew so obstreperous and so disturbed our repose that we had to ‘‘shoo’’ him awav with one of our boots. He declared most plainly that he had never before seen so preposterous a figure as we cut lying there in the corner of that old shunty. The wover’s Taie,. [From the New York Herald.1 From the English papers we glean some sam- ples of the poem called ‘‘The Lover’s Tale,’’ three parts of which Alfred Tennyson, the poet laureate, wrote in his nineteenth year, and two of which were printed,but withdrawn from the press by the young bara, onlY a few c of them getting abroad. This distribation wis through the instrumentality of the poet’s triend, Arthur Hallam, over whom Tennyson later made his lofty lament, ‘‘In Memoriam.’’ The fourth part, written in the poet’s maturer years, has been already published with his works, under the title of ‘*The Golden Supper.’’ We, there- fore, have in this a completed work. The irates of the English publishing world drove ir. Tennyson in self-defense to publish it. There is a richness of expression in the poem, but it is not quite that of the poet’s later years. The plot is taken from that storehouse of legend, Boccaccio, and the scene is laid under warmer skies than those of the poet's native land. What perhaps is most interesting in the extracts we have seenisthat they reveal the sources whence Tennyson first formed his style; that, in fact, we may trace the uncon- scious imitation ot form of expression and shaping of thought which preceded the more subtle biending of these forms in the verse which is now recognized as distinctly Tenny- sonian. Hereisa noble passage, but one in which the most cursory reader will recognize theorgan tones of Milton in ‘‘ Paradise Lost:’’ O day which did enwomb that happy hour, O Genius oi that hour which dost uphold Who walk before thee, ever turning round With dwelling on the light und depth of thine, Had I died then, I had not seeni’d to die, Yea, — the Power from whose right hand the ght floweth W hereof to all that draw the wholesome air, Somewbile the one must overflow the other; driven My current tothe fountain whence £ven his own abiding excellence— On me pacers that shock of gloom all’n Unfelt, and in this glory I had merged it sprang— had Which seeming for the moment due to death, And uipping his head low beneath the verge, Yet bearing round about him hi3 own day, With this strongly tinged Miltonian passage passed with its Hither we came, sweet ‘ The wind Ye cannot shape I listen’d, sweetness To boys and girls when summer days are new, And soul and heart and boay are all ut ease; What marvel my Camilla told me all?

A Decided Lull in the Market This Week. The rea] estate narket, like everything 2lse, is experiencing a tempouiary lull during the warm weather. By mutual consent. appar- ently, but little of interest has been transacted in the week just closing, the tew sales being restricted to suburban lots with little or no improvements and small cottage residences. There is a grow- ing demand for property, but holders are not halfso anxious to sell as they were a few months, or even weeks, ago, and fine private property: that then went begging for purchasers cannot now ve obtained. The improvement ofthe markets East, principally New York,Philadelphia and Boston,has caused a firmer feeling, and many knowing ones‘pre- diet that ere many months real estate will be its old self again. Several applications from Easteru cities for exchange of both improved and unimproved property have been received within the last few days at the Real Estate Ex- change, which is a _ favorable indication ot restored confidence in Western earth, to say the least. Good suburban property in desirable locali- ties finds a very ready sale, an anxiety te es- cape the heat, dust, din and confusion of the susy city having arisen. Rents have fluctu- ated but little of late, and there has been no perceptible increase or decrease in rates, only in special localities where new buildings are in course of erection or old ones being torn aown, with no likelihood Of anything taking their place for a short eternity or two. Someof the recent sales of lots have been tn very unde- sirable localities, surrounded by miils and foundries, and have gone at small figures, but anything meritorious is not allowed to go beg- ging for a purchaser. On Tuesday, January & Moffett sold at auction sale tweive choice building lots on West Cass avenue at a fair figure, and on Wednesday twenty-three lots in Shelby’s subdivision, four blocks north of the Arsenal, and Kefferstcin disposed of six lots on Columbus street. M. A. Wolff & Co. made three reasonable sales of cottage propertv, and Cavender & Rowse disposed of some small sub- urban property. Two important sales took place to-day. P. 8. Lanbam sold forty lets in Ciagett’s subdi- vision on Papin and COlagett avenues, near Cote Brilliante, and 8S. V. Papin & Bro. sold forty-six building lots in Stansbury's fsubdi- vision near Carondelet avenue and Miami street. P. 8S. Lanham also sold a beautiful building site, 50x165 feet, at the intersection ot Labadie and Vine Grove avenues. Several important sales are announced for the near future. On the 20th inst. the New- land farm of 238 acres, situate some six miles west of the city on the Olive Street road, will be sold. On the day following Barry & Von Phul will sell (fifty lots in Union addition areund Untversity, Montgaomery and Herbert avenues, and on the 19th inst. S.

The Bethania Evangelical Church intend to giveapicnic within a month, which will be under the auspices of the choir of the church. A picnic was given at Lindell Park by St. John’s Evangelical Church, on Thursday, which was largely attended, and was a grand success.

Partridge donated the carriages,and there were seven ladies present. The German division of the Y. M.C. A. had their quarterly meeting at St. Peter’s Evan- gelical Church, Fifteenth and Carr, Wednesday evening, when business of importance to the association was transacted. This division has so for proved a grand success. in some of the Catholic churches announce- ment was not made until within a week or so ago of the continuation of the papal jubilee in this eountry until Augusti1, a tact published by the Post-DISPATCH whenthe Pope’s letter was first received in tnis city. Rev. P.H.K.McComb celebrated his tin wed- ding at Webster Grove, on Tuesday.

An enjoyable time was had, the St. Louis party returning in the evening. The Ladies’ Flower Mission is a growing in- stitution in this city. Visits are made to the hospitals every Wednesday morning, about 9 o’ciock, and flowers distributed to the sick, which cannot failto cheer and relieve their moments ot pain and suffering. The announce- mentis published that all ladies who wish to join in this beautiful charity can do so by cail- ing at the Presbyterian Room inthe Mutual building, at 8:45 a. m. any Wednesday. Rev. Father Walsh, on the occasion of his silver jubilee, last Tuesday, was presented with a number of costly and handsome picces of silver which haven't, as yet,been mentioned in print. From thetiniest Sunday school in the parish to the oldest member of the congre- gation, every class in the church gave some- thing and all gave handsomely, which shows that during Fatber Walsh’s sixteen years’ resi- dence in the parish he bas nade friends of ev- ery body in it, as he has of hundreds outside of it. .

The greater water route is winning its way nothwithstanding the demoralization among the railroad lines. Large contraets for early tall goods will be ‘‘water-borne.’’ Hot weather! The next ‘‘sweeping fire’’ in St. Louis, ifthe mercury keeps on climbing, will have tor its origin, withouta disbeliever therein, spontaneous combustion, pure and simple. If this June heat shall continue ‘‘to grow by what it feeds on’’ through the coming summer months, it wouldn’t be safe to insure tne St. Louis reservoir against a fire of ‘‘mysterious origin. 7 . The Local Board of Fire Underwriters called a quorum unavailingly twice this week. Most of the youths who compose that enterprising philanthropic and virile organization had **gone West’’—to the Jockey Club. The experience of the policy-hoiders in the South St. Louis Mutual will not stimulate their desire again tv give notes tor insurance upon which they may be liberally assessed to pay losses, expenses and ‘‘contingents.’’ The receivers of the North St. Louis Mutual have declared a dividend of 33}; per cent on loss claims. Overtwo hundred suits brought for additional assessments against policy-holders have been decided in tavor ot the receivers. Races! Allthe boys are happy-—who win.

The Post-DIsPpaTCH hrs bad,in the months past, a good deal to say about the Globe Mu- tual Life of New York, and of the Freemans, who managed its affairs, growing fat but not flourishing by their methods. Now thecompany has succumbed, as everybody oughtto have known it must. A receiver will undoubtedly be appointed—there will be big fees, the en- riching of the favorite ring, and an impov- erishment of policy-holders in the measure of their interest. Ifthe patient public stand a few more life insurance and savings bank failures and somebody don’t get hurt it will be the p. p.’sown fault. Mr. C. T. Aubin, the accomplished and alert secretary of the local Board of Fire Under- writers, made a report to the board last March concerning the value to the St. Louis Fire Department oi a = sys- tem of telegraphic communication not greatly dissimilar to that in use in Paris, so admirably summarized in the letter receiv- ed by the board from Col. V. Colonien, Chief ofthe Pans Sapeurs. Mr. Aubin’s report, made so long ago, has been slumbering on the desk of some committeeman, but will soon be published, and wili be of general interest on account of its timely and practical suggestions. The Dwight case, about which so much has been written, is after all very little understood. The suspicious circumstances and the proven misstatements of the deceased on many vital matters seem to justify the companies n making the most rigid scrutiny of the case before paving so large a sum. A _ con- densed statement of the points already de- veloped is subjoined trom the Insurance Re- view: ‘The Owight case wasa fraud, or else we know nothingabout cvidence. Dwight aver- red in his application that he never had spit- ting of bioouw oF hemorrhage. This has been roven untrue. Had he answered otherwise, is policies would not have been issued. He said that no company hadever rejected him. This was untrue. He fasely stated the amount ot other insurance on his life. He wasin hope- less bankruptcy—insisted tliat all his premiums should be quarterly, and contrived thattbey should ali fall due neuriv on the same day. He died three days before the second quarterly payments came due, and was abso- lutely without the means of payment. His cer- tificate in baykruptcy was issued about tour hours before he died. In his will he cid not provide fo: one of his creditors. An itinerant showman was with him when he died, and his wife in the next room was not called in in the last moments. He spent the larger portion of his time, during three months preceding his death, in hunt- ing and fishing, and with scant clothing expos- ed bimself to storms when he could have found shelter, and apparently did everything pos- sible to induce acute disease. One doctor and a coroner’s jury say he died of congestive chills —ifso, he was directly and deliberately re- sponsible for bringing them on. Three emi- nent physicians say he died of asphyxia, and point to the mark ot a clothes-line about his neck—that is, that he committed suicide.’’ Item: The size of it is twelve pounds. Good insurance agents are made out of just such material. But the brother with a dozen oitive plants—more or less—round about his table is stillahead. ‘‘Happy is the man that isin such a case.’’ | The question of expense in conducting fire inturance business is at length and quite properly attracting the attention of the stock- holders of some of the New York companies. Ina pnumber of instances these capitalists have begun to realize that the costof man- agement is out of all proportion to the amount of bueiness done, and that matters are going from bad to worse. With the talling off in vol- ume of busines and the prevalent low rates, consequent upon the struggle of many com- petitors to get what little business there is, the reduced income trom premiums has made the percentage so much larger as to assume a serious phaze. Beginning with 1873, the starting point of trade depression, the New York fire companies reduced their pre- mium income steadily, the year 1878 showing ratios ot the strictly local and the large agency companies were d: ferentiated, it. would be found that, while the latter class of companies, on their extended volume of business, keep within the reasous.vle limit of abous thirty-five per cent for management expenses, the former will average nearer sixty per cent. In thirty- two out of sevehty-eight New York fire compa- nies not deing an established agency busi- ness, the expenses eat up any- where from ity to nimety per cent ofthe premium income. Of course, this is all abnormal in a business point of view ; and in the case of most ol these thirty-two companies, itisonly a question of time (and a short time at that) as to when the thing must end. And this is what stockholders are begin- ning to consider. Tho voluntary withdrawal of several companies and the amalgamating ot others indicates the path which alone promises safety to quite a number of companies that are still staggering along under a grievous burther of disproportionate expenses. And the sooner the decision is reached the better for the stook- bolders and policy-boilders alike.
