THE CONNECTICUT MUTUAL.
Life Insurance Company Of Hartford,
 

Life Insurance Company Of Hartford, Conn.
 The fortieth annual statement of the Con- necticut Mutual Life Insurance company published in this paper makes very impres sive and satisfactory exhibit of the extent and quality of the years business. The net assets of the company have been increased about three-quarters of 6 million dollars dur ing the year, over five millions have been disbursed to benefciaries, the surplus is larger by nearly half million than at the close of the previous year, and generally the financial condition of the company is even stronger than it was shown to be at the time of the last annual exhibit. The figures, which are given elsewhere in detail, indicate a constant and healthy progress in new busi- ness, and sufficiently illustrate the practical wisdom of the conservative policy which has characterized the management of this great and benefcent institution. The Connecti- cut Mutual has distributed among it's bene- fciaries since it's organization between one and two hundred millions of dollars; it now holds fifty odd millions more in trust for similar future distribution.
 Farm, Field And Garden.
 Mr. F. s. Platt, the enterprising florist and scotsman, has just issued his annual cata- logue of seeds for the farm and garden-his tenth annual. It is very neatly printed and tasteful pamphlet of nearly 100 pages and is the most complete and valuable com pendulum of knowledge of the kind that this we'll known and enterp1ising merchant has yet issued, it surpassing all the previous is sues. MT. Platt's enterprise is meeting with further deserved success. Through his con stantly growing business and rapid develop of vii novelties and everything of standard
 merit, some of the best vegetables have been given to the public through this house. Conspicuous among these trophies
 of success were his introduction of the White Egg turnip in 1877, King of the Garden Lima bean in 1885 and many others. The
 enterprise of MT. Platt has increased his wholesale branch of the business so that his list of patrons outside of New Haven has be- come very numerous and extends into many States of the Union. He opens the season of 1886 with still further increased facilities and the house as usual brides itself on it's reputation for furnishing seeds unsurpassed in purity, vuality and price:

a parade through the principal streets we were
escorted to a large hall, where bountiful sup

sounded and the comrades all retired grace
fully to their quarters to catch q few hours
sleep before starting for home, at which place
we arrived at noon on the 18th. The muster
ing of this Eneampment completes the number

cur some time in November of this year. Any

If not before, the Prohibition party will give
the old mossbaek Bourbon Democracy the worst
licking it ever had. In 1892 there will be a
clean, square fight between the ProhibitOnists
and the Democracy. All the compromising
parties and politicians will be out of the way
and the result will be decisive aud overwhelm-
ing. The Democratic party will take a back
seat until the mission Of the Prohibition party
has been accomplished and it, like the Repub-
lican party Of 90 day and the old Wing party
OF the past, becomes cOwardly and attempts TO
exist on its past record. Then il will go down
and out, aud the people will simply use the
Democracy rs a sort of check to the wheels of
progress until they can organize q new line of
political battle and kick it out Of power again,
until some time in the future when it may be
needed for the same purpose"
Dr. Buckley. editor of the Advocate, Metho-
dist organ, says in regard TO the story of the
MethOdists going into the prohibition move
ment: The Church is committed to prohibit
ton. but il is not a partisan. 1t will not sup
port the third party as church, but / have no
doubt that large share of its members will
support prohibition; what proportion l cannot

China has notified Postmaster General Villas
that she proposes 10 inaugnrate postal system
on Jan. /, aud requests that the United States
discontinue its postal agency at Shanghai.
Great Britain, France, Japan, and all other
countries having postal agencies in China have
also been notified, and have all agreed to with
draw. The United States will doubtless follow
suit. AT any rate, ConsulGenerai Kennedy,
who has charge of our agency ut Shanghai, so
recommends. Our agency, which has been
maintained there for several years, costs about
s. 600 per annum, besides the cash received for
the stamps that are sold. The English postal
agent expresses the opinion that China will
not be ready To start her system by the lst of
January, but recommends withdrawal when
she is ready.
