The late Metropolitan Fire and Marine In
surance Company of Boston, as shown up in a
recent report of the insurance commissioner,
was the greatest piece of rascality in its way
ever perpetrated in Massachusetts. Luther
Monson Of Canaan, CT, was the prime opera
tor and the president of the company. None
oflts capital stock was ever actually paid in !;
yet it did an immense business, allowing to
agents IN some cases high as 80 per cent on the
premiums received by them. The books show
$696,632 received in premiums in IS months,
and $47l,625 paid for losses and expenses
but the commissioners seriously impugn the
correctness Of its own records of its business,
and close their account of the company by
saying; The cause OF its insolvency arises
from fraud IN the management Of IDS funds,
reckless extravaganza in its expenses, the ex-
tended dele of its operations, and the failure
OF many Of its agents to accountfor the premi-
ums received by them

LYNN AND THE SHOE TRADE.-A recent
number of Hunts Merchants Magazine, on
Lynn, furnishes some facts of an interesting
character:
The situation of Lynn is well known
Though one of the oldest places in the State,
it has no facilities for navigation, and until
the shoe manufacture was introduced was a
place of no importance. Since that time, few
places have been SO prosperous. Since 1915,
the increase i'll population, allowing for
Swafnpscot and Nahant, which have been set
off, has been nearly one hundred per cent
1t is now 10000 g This ratio of increase is
equal to that of our Most furnishing Western
cities - 1t appears that the whole number of
boots manufactured from June 1854, to June
1850, was 3,274,S pairs of shoes, 6,000,-
zoo pairs; total 9,275 1898 pairs. Number of
males employed IN the manufacture 4 ,544, fe-
males 6,476; total employed, IL ,02l, or near
ly three-fourths Of the whole population To-
tai value of the boots and shoes manufactur-
ed $4, 165,529. But the shoe trade is not the
only business carried on there. The different
manufactures seem to go hand in hand, and
where one is in successful operation, others
viii spring up around it. The morocco man :
ufacture is more extensive in Lynn, than in
any other place in the State Among other
manufactures, also, Is that of Paper Hang
ings, where so men are employed, and goods
sold TO the value of 1892, 900.
So much attention has been given in the
last twenty-five years to cotton and wooden
manufactures, and so much has been said
about them in connection with the tariff and
otherwise, we can hardly persuade ourselves
that they are the leading interest of Massa-
chusetts. Yet such the fact. ''Her annual
products of shoes hoots and leotber olo,,o

: From WAsHIvGToN.-In the House, Fri
cay, on the resolution declaring Mr.. Banks
Speaker, Messrs. Dunn, Moore, Harrison and
Haven voted as heretofore against him. On
the resolution declaring Mr.. Aiken Speaker
there was partial union of Democrats and
Americans--Messts. Barclay and Hickman,
Democrats, and Mr.. Cullen, American, voted
in the negative, and Messrs. Wheeler and
Williams in the affirmative Thus Mr.. Aiken
received one vote more on the direct question
than Mr.. Banks, thougha large number voted
on the Banks resolution than when the pro-
position to choose Mr.. Aiken was before the
House. The friends of Mr.. Aiken conarat~
ulate themselves that he might win by the
adoption of the plurality rule.

SONGS AND BALLADS OF THE REVOLUTION
--Nlessrs. d. Appleton & Co., have issued, in a
neat duodecmo volume, collection of the songs
aud ballads Of the Revolution with notes and illus
trations, by Frank Moore. In the compilation Of
this work, the author has eyinced the most indie
fatigable industry, and though its contents are
calculated to add but triAe to the literary wealth
OF the country, they yet show in so clear light
the spirit and temper Of the times that it cannot
fail to be regarded a valuable addition to every
library. Il was well remarked by Solomon, that
"mere solid things do not show the complexion
OF the times so well as the ballads and libes Of
people," and all who concur in this sentiment
must regard this work as possessing very great
historical value. For sale byz Baker & Co.
