ATTENTION has lately been drawn TO the suc-
ject Of the burial Of Lascar Sailors largo numbers
of whom are employed in the English merchant
service, and many Of whom yearly die in the Sea-
mems hospital At Greenwich, and are inferred in
the psrOchial cemetery at Shooters Hill. There,
while the clergy performing the burial service
for Christians, It is no uncommon circumstance to
see Lascars devoutly prostrated over the grave OF
departed comrade. After addressing certain
prayers TO Brahma, they place upon the grave a
number Of dates (fruit) as propitiatory offerings
to the deity. These acts of plety performed, the
mourners depart, and It is found that their votIve
dates are quickly carried off by boys who have
become aware Of the practice and make unscru-
pulous use of their knowledge.

A STATEMENT OF the condition of
things on the Flint and Pere Marquette
Railroad has been made public by its
managers, which shows that the earnings
of the road for 1875 We're S1,054.l02. Or
only $4,000 less than in 1874. Among
the principal items of freight were o.
100000 feet Of lumber, 224.l00,000 shin
giles, and 103,323 barrels of salt. The
manager states that the building of the
western extension of the road, and the
depression caused by the panic. has in
terfered with the prompt payment of the
current liabilities, but thus far no hos
tile Or oppressive action has been taken
by creditors, and it seems likely that this
popular line will soon ''get out of the

CHEAPER INSURANCE WANTED.

The insurance companies are making
too much money, and it is time rates for
fire risks were reduced. In the face of
this being one of the worst periods Of
business depression the country has ever
seen, the insurance companies of the
g United States have just closed an excep-
tionally profitable year. Thus the 1Etna
{ of Hartford divided "a per cent. on its
capital of $3,0O0,000, and added 100000
TO its surplus besides. The Hartford Iii
vided 20 per cent, and laid by 100000
as surplus, and so with all the large
eastern companies. Even our little home
company, the Detroit Fire and Marine,
earned sum equal to 5GX per cent. of
of its capital stock, dividing 10per cent.
and adding 46E per cent. to its surplus
fund. The average dividends of the CON-
panies, as appears from the Insurance
Spectator chart, amounted TO nearly IA
per cent, to say nothing Of the large
sums added to surplus account. Now
this is more than any other legitimate
business is earning nowadays, and is an
undue profit.
Again, it is we'll understood among in
gurance men that the local rates in this
city are unduly high when the perfec-
ton Of our fire department, the constant
supply of water, and all other circuH-
stances are taken into account. We pay
relatively higher rates of insurance than
neighboring western cities. and this is an
additional reason why rates in Detroit
should be reduced.
Why should we tax ourselves heavily
to maintain costly fire department and
elaborate water works If the greater part
of the advantages from it is to be reaped
by lot Of foreign corporations?
The Chicago fire was severe blow to
the insurance companies, and it gave
them the opportunity of increasing their
rates twenty-five per cent or more. These
advanced rates they have maintained now
for nearly fiye years; the losses which
suggested them have abundantly been
made good. and now a golden harvest
has been entered upon which will con-
tinue TO be enjoyed till the psopls bring
