HINTS TO MEXICO.
IN. Y, Herald.

While Mexico possessed constitu
tlonal government, or, In fact, any set.
tied government ut all, the American
people were inclined to be very long
suffering toward It. But that unhappy
country Ia once more In q state OF dis.
organization. We can cherish no hope
that the Dtaz government, or any other
which may succeed 1t, will do It's mani
fest duty OF guarding the present or any
other border line and protecting our
people against robbery and murder.
But Ii this Is true we may certainly
claim the right to make our labors OF
defense as cheap and convenient as pos
sible. One thing Is certain-the Adj
ministration does not mean any longer
to endure the incursions OF organized
robbers into our territory, and In this
determination 1t Is very evident the
whole country and both parties sustain
the President. But the evil Is left to us
to cure. What are we to do?
The Secretary OF War instructs Gen.
Ord to pursue marauders across the Rio
Grande, catch and punish them. But a
stern chase Ia a long chase. Suppose
Gen. Ord should pursue band to the
capital Of Chihuahua? Suppose the ar
rival OF the American troops should lead
to public demonstration asking them
to remain? Suppose the property own
ers Of the State Of Chihuahua should on
seeing our flag fall in love with it? Sup
pose. in short. the pear Is ripe and falls
into our lap? We are not making wild
superstition. 1t Is very we'll known that
the bulk OF the peaceable and property
owning classes in all Northern Mexican
States wait only for an assurance OF
protection from the. United States to
Hing Themselves into orr arms TT ia
not conquest but a deliverance they
look for; nor is 1t probable that once
they had ventured to divorce themselves
from Mexico Diaz or any possible sue
cessor Of his would have strength to In
terfere with them.
We are not seeking to deprive Mexico
OF territory, but we have right to q
good boundary il she is unable to de-
fend us. We do not mean war, nor ia
her government able to make war. If
our troops to-day held the passes in the
southern boundary proposed on the
map we published yesterday we doubt
from all we hear whether any attempt
would be made to disturb them. Else
where our Washington correspondent
sends us report Of an interesting con-
versation with Mr.. Schleicher, the able
member OF Congress representing the
report Of our New Orleans correspond
ent that his people are stating their
claims for damages against Mexico.
What he says about the condition of
Chihuahua and Sonora also confirms
our reports. He thinks no Mexican
leader would venture to organize Sc
cession of the Northern States, and no
doubt he Is right. But suppose the pear
is ripe?

PAPER Box MAKING.-It would hardly be
imagined that p iper boxes form the basis of
industry of sufficient magnitude to warrant the
invention of costly aud elaborate machinery
bat If the reader will call to mind the thou.
sands of uses to which these receptacles are
now put, and further, that their employment
is constantly increasing, it will be evident that
quicker means of production than hand labor
has long since become necessary. If any one
ever writes the history of paper boxes, he will
fud that, during the last three years, they have
found variety of new uses. Confectioners
have almost abandoned the time-honored corn
ucOpia for holding candies. Oyster saloons
hang out the seductive sign: Take home
fry in q box" and even " stews" are now
transported in cylindrical boxes of thick
waterproof paper. Ice cream frozen hard and
packed in paper boxes is sold in the lobby of
the opera and taken home from the confectioR-
ems, in place OF candy, to the little ones Retail
dry goods dealers have lately adopted the box
wherein to envelop small articles; and instead
of becoming loaded with bundles of varying
sizes, the shopper" now carries her pur-
chases in neat cases suspended by ribbons
from the arm. The grocer iugeniously con-
oeals q bottle in a case, which the purchaser
takes with him unsupported by the passers as

In the forthcoming annual report of the
Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company,
the Directors accompany the announce
ment of its first assessment with the fol-
lowing explanation of the causes:
THE DIRECTORS TO THE MEMBERS.
In LAYING small assessment the present
wear, for the first time since the organza-
ton of the company-a measure rendered
necessary by the unprecedented losses of
of the past two years Gn which every
other insurance company has fully shared,
so far as our knowledge extends 1.-THE
Directors of the Farmers Mutual see fit to
accompany its announcement with word
of explanation, though by no means Of
apology.
A quarter of n century ago, before the
business of fire insurance had become Il
subject of so much competition and SC
often abused, it was comparatively safe tc
estimate the per centage of loss upon the
safest classes of property, such as the Far
mers' Mutual was chartered to insure, cs
pecially with the assurances placed viii
proper prudence and discrimination. Boil
The soundness of this theory, and the wis
dom of acting upon it, is fully established
by our experience for twenty-five years
During that period, and little more, Tho
ratio of loss was so wisely forecast that thu
fifteen per cent paid in advance was no
only sufficient to meet all the losses ant
expenses of the company, but left sur
plus in the treasury fully equal to carryin!
out all the policies then in force, provided
the future losses were no greater, proper
tionately, than the past. With an expert
ence SO lengthy and so well defined, thu
directors cherished on apparently well
grounded belief that they had struck tn
golden mean, and that the company VIZ
as secure from assessments in the futur
as it had been free from them in the past
But about the beginning Of the twenly-sixll
year the tidal wave OF losses, which swep
over the whole country, visiting alike al
insurance companies without discrimina
ton and without mercy-and which still
holds on its way, until insurance men an
companies are filled with doubt and ankle
ty for the ure-changed the whole as
pect of affairs Since then our losses have
been more than double what they were dun
ing the twenty-six years previous, upo
r the same amount insured. At this exces
siye rate of loss the fifteen per cent paid i
advance prior TO November |, 1876, wa
only sufficient to cover the losses an
expenses for three years and nine month
leaving one year and three months to b
met by assessments. Therefore no alter
native was left but to follow the provision
of the charter and assess those member
. who in paying bat fifteen per cent failed
pay their proportion of the losses and expel
SEES during the time their policies were
, force. In laying the assessment, great cal
a has been exercised to follow both the lettt
and spirit of the charter, and do ms equi
