New YORK, November IL. - The panickv

ness was transacted to-day Ill WOOL hard
ware, leather or dry goods.
1t is stated that only three insurance com
panies have suspended here, namely: The
International, the Corn Exchange and the
Humboldt.
Gentlemen interested in the leather trade
in Boston do not think the almost destruc-
ton of the leather business IN that Gity will
| bring about suspension, except in the
cases OF two or three small firms The
stock held by the leading houses was small.
President Oakley, Of the Board of Under
writer's estimates the insurance losses by
the Boston fire at not over 500. 100000
Nearly all the insurance companies have
their windows placarded with statements
of their condition. The heaviest losses fall
Oh the large companies, who are best able to
stand it.
The Htna Insurance Company. of Hart
ford, has a bulletin board at its office, that
its losses by the Boston fire will not exceed
one million, and that its financial status
will not be affected thereby its capital
being five millions.
The excitement in insurance circles here
is intense. The suspension of the Humboldt
and International companies is announced.
The banks here are generally pursuing a
conservative course. They are accommo-
dating their customers, but there seems to
be a general disposition among them to act
carefully until they can more accurately
weigh the probable consequence Of the dis
asteE.
Nine hundred and thirty business houses
and firms were destroyed, and sixty dwell
ing and lodging houses.
The fire is now confined to the ruins No

are on the watch The Saturday Eveni,,g

that they must keep to the point. But the law
yers had not quite done with each other. Shafer
told Clinton that his conduct was full of enor.
nifty, and could not be sanctioned by his associ-
ate counsel. Clinton denied the soft impeach-
ment, and gave Shaler the lie indirect. Shafer
wanted to respond; but the Judge cut him sharp
of, IL any other two men had acted thus in
open court, they would have been summarily
locked up. But somehow counsel seem to have
got a prescriptive right to act as blackguards in
court.
After this pleasant interlude the real business
went on rapidly. In a couple of hours about
thirty names were called. Out ofthese FIVE good
men and true were found. As far as l could
judge from their answers, their special quail
fcation was that they neither knew nor cared
anything about what was going on around
them. There were now eleven jurors sworn.

quarter of hundred men were called, not
one of whom came up or down to the mark. 1t
was now time for a late dinner, and the court
adjourned, having the tit-bit of juror number -
to be fought for on Thursday. | shall not see
the last scene Of this farce for it is really nothing
more. By the time this reaches you dare say
the papers will have told you that the jury has
been filed, and that our mayor is really on
trial. hope he will be fairly judged. AS far
as law is concerned, have no doubt that he
will be fairly tried but, in so far as the matter
rests with the jury, empanneled as | have seen
in part, would not give a straw for their
verdict, be itwhat may. l would rather, were |
the accused, whether guilty or innocent, trust it
to the turn of copper or the chance of drawing
the longer or shorter straw out of bundle.
The sum aud substance of all l have been
saying is this: The present jury system, as it
works with us, is worse than worthless as
means of assuring justice and right. A good
Judge, whereof we have more than one, will so
shape matters that the verdict will be right. A
bad iudge-and wish l could say that we had
none-will let things take their own course; in
which case it is Just an even chance whether it
be right or wrong. Thus one jury acquitted
Mcfarland for the killing of Richardson
another jury convicted Foster for the killing of
Putnam. Some of these days another jury will
piss upon the questions involved in the killing
of Fisk by Stokes. Let us hope, almost against
hope that right will be done. AHG.

foumans explaining and supporting Darwin's
theory of development, and the other by Pro-
lessor Seelye criticising and opposing this theo-
ry. The two essays are written with ability
and candor. "Peter Farley" always wrote with
view TO popular entertainment and
instruction, and he did not fail to do

ject carefully and collected a great fund of
information, which is here digested and ar.
ranged with his usual intelligence and skill.
The work is peculiarly adapted for use in fami-

entertaining. The general character of the
work is stated on the title page 1t describes
animals, meaning by the word everything in

it gives some descriptions and views of extinct
animals which lived in remote geological ages; ;
and there are many sketches of observation and
adventure among wild animals in different

generally very well executed, and the work is
every way vastly superior in interest and value
to most of those which are sold by subscription.
