The report of the Insurance Commissioner
of Massachusetts, which was largely antici-
pated in detail some weeks ago in our Boston
correspondence, is now presented to the Leg
islature. The figures of the insurance loss are
still further augmented, and foot up $565OO,-
600. 1t is now manifest that many companies
moderated or partially concealed their losses,
AS, on the other hand, the total loss by fire
has been reduced by more accurate estimates
to seventy or seventy-fye millions, it becomes
more and more evident that the effects of
the calamity were greatly modified by the wide
distribution of the losses. Next to Massachu-
sets, New York was much the heaviest loser.
The review Of the business affairs of Boston
by the Secretary of the Board of Trade, of
which we have q synopsis, shows that every
thing fayors rapid recovery from the effects
of the fire. AT most it does not set back the
increase in total wealth by as much as the
accumulations Of single year. A very re-
markabe system of facilities for delivery from
railroads, recently matured, enables Boston to
overcome many of the difficulties under which
American cities labor in the transfer of mer-
chandlse New-Yorlx has much to learn in this
particular and may have the lesson enforced
by BostOn's competition when the HoosaC
| Tunnel is open.

To what a dreadful pass have we come
when it is proposed TO cut down the national
revenues in order to suppress the national
extravaganza. Yet it is gravely said that the
House Ways and Means Committee are dis
cussing this view of the situation. Congress
holds the purse-strings of the nations yet
Congress cannot trust itself with the revenues
and asks that this temptation may be removed
from it.

When a mans wife runs away the bereaved nus
band doesn't often exhibit inordnate passion Tor

down and writes little notice, stating that she has
left his couch and table. and warning tradesmen
against trusting her on his account Not so did Mr..
Luke O'Neill, of Cleveland, o., when Mrs oNeili
absconded with S235 of his savings, since he
searched for her, and travelled hundreds of miles.

700 photographs of the wandering dame printed, and
sent them to the police the priests and the author

vice and spending all his money, Mr.. ONelll sat
down in cold despair, waiting for something TO turn
up; and what did turn up was Mrs. ONein her
self, one day last week, as large as life
This was encouragement to poor ONeili, who
was suspected by his female neighborsi OF having
murdered his good wife and hidden her in the coal
hole We will state as it is creditable TO this eecen-
trio woman that when she met her husband she
tainted away as a respectable lady should under
such circumstances. Now the questions are; Why

In these days of mud and wetness, all the phases
of car modes and manners become more obtrusive
and exasperating If there is anything particularly
fitted to make long for desert islands aud caves
and home on the ocean wave, it is the knowledge
of human selfshness and muddy boots which one
gains in these charots. OF all the characters who
play their brief disagreeable hour on these boards
the Flouncer the Jouncer, and the Bouncer are tho
worst Everybody must know and dread them. The
Flouncer is a woman-usually very fat and ugly
one-and she filings herself always regardlessiy into
seat without any sort Of mercy upon her neighbors
The Jouncer is an elderly and nervous being, who is
never satisfied with hIs-or her-pos!tion, aad Is
necessarily wrggling, and twisting, aud futterlng
up and dropping down. The Bouncer Is the most
horrd of the three: he is that untrammeled and
desperate person who thinks he can shoot like
meteor through crowded car, and does attempt the
feat, to the subdued anguish of his fellow-beings
therein assembled. All these people are dreadful
enough in time of pleasant weather; now!--

There will be some difficulty in finding any
authority for the establishment of the regency
which, it is said, the ex-Empress Eugene is
about to assume. Not that it really makes
any difference now who claims to hold the
ghostly scepter Of the dead Empire but the
forms of law must be complied with even in
this emergency. If the Empire were alive and
no other provision were made, the Corps
Legislatif would be authorized to designate a
regent as it is, the Bonapartists at Chisel-
hurst will probably be considered council Of
potables whose advice is conclusive.

This is a shameful and revolving story that
we have from the Senate Committee which Is
investigating the Kansas bribery case. Mr..
Sidney Clarke, formerly Member Of Con-
gress from Kansas and competitor of Cald-
wells in the Senatorial contest, gives a
straightforward narrative of the alleged
bribery by which Caldwell is said to have
gained the election. There are the specifca-
tons, even TO Caldwelrs reported programme
for getting reimbursement of his election ex
penses by legislation in Congress For the
honor of the United States-to say nothing of
the United States SeRate-we hope there is
some dreadful mistake here, and That such
wicked bargain did not send man into the
Senate.

Louisiana is emphatically the State of political
surprises. The very latest sensation is the
secession of six Senators from the Kellogg
Legislature and their entrance into that of the
Fusion or WaImoth party. What effect this
movement viii have upon the political situa-

given by the seeding Senators for their course
constitute one of the most srenchant indict-

The wisdom of theIProtective policy Of the
last decade is successfully indicated by the
facts elected at the recent meeting of the
National Association of Iron Manufacturers.
Not only has the iron industry made great
strides in the past ten years, it continues
10 expand, and promises within moderate
period to supply all the iron the country will
require. The process of mechanical pudding
described at theameeting is of great interest
TO iron manufacturers, for if it realizes all
that is promised, and there appears no reason
to doubt the fact it will justly rank among
the other great inventions which American
skill has given TO the world.

Ohio Constitutional Convention.

Mrs. H. NJ. t. Cutler, under date of
July 7th, writes as follows to the IFonl-
ans Journal from Columbus:
Since / last wrote you, events have
seemed to press hard upon the heels of
each other.
Gen. Voris, a member of our Conven-
tiOn, a brave, true champion of Equal
Rights, had presented petitions for
woman's enfranchisement and also had
asked for a special committee. This
had been denied, and the petitions re-
ferred to the standing committee on
Franchise which, by mere inadvertenee,
was unfairly made up.
Feeling that it might be needful to
look after matters in person, Icame here
a fortnight ago, and commenced making
the acquaintance of members by deliv-
ering to them the petitions that were sent
by their constituents. The moring after
my arrival, Gen. Voris renewed his
motion for "A special committee, on the
ground that it was not fair, nor in ac-
corlance with general usage, that a
proposition should be submitted to a
committee known 10 be adverse. Sew
eral members supported him, and a
special committee was granted, Of which
he was made the chairman.
From that time all seemed to coneede
that the subject would have fair hear
ing.
/ must here say few words Of the
general character of the Convention. /
have not, for years, seen so respectable
an assemblage of lawmakers. There
is no drunkenness, no rowdyism of any
sort. They are body Of gentlemen, in
the tTuest sense of the term. Many of
them are men past the middle age, law
yers of great experience, farmers, doc
tors, merchants and ministers.
The President, Hon. VI. r. Waite, one
Of the Geneva arbitrators, is a man Of
distinguished talent, and so fair i'm his
rulings that the most captious could not
complain. We are fortunate in having
such a body of men TO deal with, and
present indications are that our claims
are TO be treated with exceptionable
fairness.
The first amendment agreed to was
one making women eligible to appoint
i've Office, which passed with only two
dissenting votes. This seemed auspi-
ciOus, and the granting of q special conf
mittee on Woman Suffrage showed a
desire TO deal fairly with the disfran-
chised class.
Last week, Mrs. Longley and had a
hearing before the Special Committee,
to which the members of the COnven-
tion were generally invited. a large
proportion of them were present, with
few citizens especially hidden. Mrs.
Longley made an able eonstitutionalar ar
gument, which was very favorably re-
ceiyed. We are always thankful for
her clear, wise head, and her strong, true
heart.

The Child and the Angel.
BY HESTER a. BENEDICT.


.Once upon Lies iowery margin,
Where the sun shOne strangely bright,
And the breezes chanted gayly
To the blossoms pure and white;
Where the ever-lulling fountains
ofour ehIIdhoOd's better time,
still were filling vale and highland
With their melody sublime;
Sweeter far than sweetest blossom
Sat baby, wondrous fair,
With an angels wing about him,
And an angels shining hair
Falling o'er the snowy splendor
or his little waxen limbs,
While the sngel-tOnes were blended
With the tenderest OF hymns.
"fOu can hear the voices, baby,
OF the fsT-off restless throng,
For the valleys now are ringing
With the echo Of their song;
But a million hopes are dying
In the weary walks OF earth,
And million hearts are breaking
Mid the shouts OF JOY and mirth.
There is love and hope and gladness
Where the busy footsteps fail,
But an undertone OF sadness
Low and solemn-wails through all.
There are shadows with the sunshine;
There are thorns beneath the flowers;
And serpents with their poison-fangs
Within the fairest bowers.
But there is land, my baby"
And the angel brows were bent
Sill lower O'er the dimpled face
Where the shadows came and went:
There's land Of light and beauty,
Where the sweetest waters flow,
Where the harps are never broken,
Where the bleak winds may not 20;
Shall l bear thee TO its brightness ?"
And the baby how'd his head,
Closed his eyes, and mourners whispered,
In their anguish, "He is dead!"
All! they could not see the glory
Covering the face so fair,
Nor the angel-hngers toying
With the baby's silken hair!
Could not hear the Father saying:
''sufier him 20 come TO Ne,
For OF such the Heavenly Kingdom
Was, and ever is, 10 be-"
Could not see the singing seraphs,
And their voices could not hear,
For the tempest dim'd their vision,
And its thunder dull'd their ear!
Little clinging vine that clasped them
Baby with the golden hair
Spirit in thy stainless beauty,
Smiling where the Sinlcss are,
Little lonesome wanderer never,
On LIES dark and dangerous road,
Lead, oh, lead them through the shadows.
