An eastern newspaper states that
several New York insurance compan-
les have issued circular in which it
is stated that "in consequence of recent
numerous heavy losses to the insur-
ance companies, occurring in the south
and west, very many of which were
on property belonging to Jews, the
companies will be compelled in future
to decline all such risks; and this rule
is unvarying."
Insurance companies that join in
any such movement, are, to draw it
mildly, very stupid, and will Idle the
DEATH" The old regime Of the Jewish
theoracy required burntofferings; but
a moderate Jew is no more likely to
burn out than a Universalist, This eff
fort to make religion a test in insur-
ance is very stupid and very much UNI
called for. The true remedy is, not to
inquire into a mans religion but to
not offer a premium for fires by over
insurance and reckless competition.

A FRENoHMAN, a prisoner in Edin-
burg, having managed to escape, took
refuge in the powder magazine, When
the authorities wished to seize him, they
found him sitting on q barrel with a
lighted match, and threatening to blow
up the town. The authorities reflected
prudently, aud the result of their delib-
eratiOns was, that ii would be better to
starve the Frenchman out. But they
rcCkoned without theiE prisoner, who
loved good cheer, and was determined TO
live well. -In consequence, he called cut
that he would blow the town to pieces if
he did not get three meals day; he
would write out the bill Of fare. Syany
succumbed, and the demands Of the pFis-
oner went on increasing. Sometimes he
had serenade under his window then
a review Of the garrison; afterward q
sham fight, ia which the troops repre-
senting the French army beat the High
lauiers. AT last he exacted that every
Sabbath morning, before breakfast, fhe
Lord Provost, in full uniform, shodld
make his appearance and read him an
addysss. This teduntil the allies en-
tered Paris. 4 8g

Where grief sits down, folds its hands

Thorneycroft herself had been out into

to adorn the dessert. And as che stood
before the 6Se, balancing first one slip
