Qualifications of Electors.

Notwithstanding the number of times
which the new election law has been
published, there are still many who do
not understand the BlOdus operandi of
the ballot In practice it is quite. as
simple as riUd UOce voting, and only re-
quires attention on the part of the vo-
ter to four things which were not re-
quired in the old way of voting;
First-The ballots must all be
printed or written on white paper.
Colored paper will not do.
Second-The voter must fold up his
ballot so as not to show any part of the
name of the person voted for.
Third-There must be no mark on
the ballot by which it can be dis
tinguished from the others when fold
ed.
Fourth-The voter must hand his
ballot to the judges, who must de-
post it in the box in his presence and
view.
These simple rules are sufficient for
the complete instruction of the voters
in the manner of voting by ballot I'M
der the new law CoW. journal.

THE BOSTON FIRE.
Some oil the Insurance Offices that
have Suffered.

According to dispatches received,
the following are the losses of some Of
the companies well known throughout
the country:
Imperial, of London, loses one
million of dollars, leaving assets of
more than S10,00O,000.
Royal, of Liverpool, loses one mill
ion and quarter, leaving invested
funds and surplus of over five millions.
North British and Mercantile, loses
100000, leaving assets of over five
millions.
Home, of New York, loses one
million dollars, leaving assets of four
million dollars.
Hartford, of Hartford, loses six
hundred thousand dollars, leaving as
sets of over two and a half million
dollars.
OF Peck g. Cahill's agencies, the
Franklin of Philadelphia, will come
ont with loss Of less than $500,000,
the American Central, Of St Louis
$4,000, no agency in Boston. The
Continental, Of New York, loses less
than ne-fourth of it, assets, which
is S2,500,000. The Georgia Home,
had no risks in Boston or Northern or
Western cities. The Liverpool and
London will probably lose heavily, but
her immense capital of$20, 600 600 will
doubtless enable her to pay promptly,
as she did in Chicago.
