That there are sufficient reasons for this almost general depreciation in local fire stocks is clear enough. A great change has come over the business within the past year or two; not only in the amount done, but in the average rate of premium received for what is done. This difference in rate is probably 50 per cent. as compared with for- mer years. Meanwhile. what with losing their business and getting less money for what is insured. and paying about as much as ever for salaries, rents and incidentals. the inevitable result has been that the ma- jority of the companies are going behind. This has discouraged the hopes of stock. holders as to the profitableness, not to say security, of their investments; and, quite naturally, they are inclined to make way for new comers. And, unless thcre is a speedy improvement in rates or a radical reduction in management expenses, this depreciation of stocks must continue’ until, in a good many instances, liquidation will be found the shortest and easiest way out for stockholders.

(N. 1'. Bulletin.) A Whate'o Darnell-r Life. || A correspondent of the Panama Star and Herald. writing lrom Esmeralda. July 2nd. says : I beg to report our arrival at this part, not quite six months out from Valvuuiw. with three hundred barrels of oil. ()3 MM 27th. in latitude 4.40 south, longitude lit 40 West, we lowered our boats for whales. Mr Martin. our first mate, soon lastened to a large one, which stove his boat slightly, but this was soon killed and brought alongnide. In the meantime Mr. Hancock had chased the whales a long way of! to the leeward. and lsstened to an eighty barrel fellow, and got slightly stove in doing so. The whale acted ‘Vely ugly. At the least noise from the boat, 1 he would rush toward it, lashing the sets with his flakes, and obliging Mr. Hancock to keep at u respectable dwtance, he being alone at the time. and his boat stove and leaking badly. Every time Mr. Hancock would try to get near the whale. the monster would rush to- wards the boat. Sometimes he would rat-.e his head out of the water. and appear to be listening for the least noise, turning slowly around. and then all at once down Would go the bead and up his tail, and the sea would be lashed into loam. In a short time the third mate arrived on the scene 01 action, and was ordered by the second mate not to fasten to the whale, but to play losse boat. that is, not being encum bored with a line last to the whale, he could more easily row up to or away ircm him and watch tor a favorable opportunity to shoot the monster with a bomb lance. In the meantime the ship was running down towards them. and the mate at the masthead re- ported a boat stove, as Mr. Hancock had set the signal which indicated that fact. Captain Kelly then sent Mr. Martin in the lourth mate's boat to assist in killing the whale. On his arms! at the scene he Went boldly on and lastened, when suddenly his boat was badly stove and capsized. Mr. Hancock picked up the crew. and the first mate went into the third mate‘s boat and-again attacked the whale. No sooner did the monster hear the sound of the approaching oars than he made tor the boat at agreat speed. and before they could get out at the way, struck them, , staving in the boat and capaizing it. Fortunately the whale was quiet for i a flow moments, enabling Mr. Han- , cock to pick up the men, but 1 none too soon. for just as they had sterned . off a short distance, the whale again attacked , the stoven boat, seizing it in his mouth ; again and again, and shaking it as a dog i would a rag; then up would go his tail and fragments 01 the boat, oars, etc., would fly ; high in the air. Mr. Hancock went to the - ship, and soon returned with another boat. i All the time the whale was rushing first here , and then there, at one moment on his head and another on his tail. The only thing to . do was to lay oi! and shoot bombs at him, i but it was a difiicult job to get near enough r to him for the bombs to be eflectual, his body, most of the time, being perpendicular. The first mate was fortunate enough to shoot a bomb into the right spot. which soon killed the whale. The writer of these lines has fol- lowed whaling since 1849, and has never seen but one whale fight so determinedly as this vauw â€"â€".'<~r. stove the ship had it been near enough. The Ann Alexander and Essex Were both stove t and sunk by sperm whales. one, who no doubt would have attacked and No doubt there are Annexetionists in Csnsda, but how many oi thrmit would be somewhat difficult to guess. But that they exist. and in goodly numbers. we do not doubt. Ii there are any Catholics who desire the annexation oi Canada to the United States, it is as well ior them to remember that they poesess more religious liberty in this country than their covreligionists possess heroes the border. Here we have Separate Schools. aboon which Oatholicedo not possess under the Stars and Stripes. This hot alone, apart irom all the other weighty issues which attract us tothe Dominion should settle the' question. Here we have religious liberty in its widest phase. There re no right, politi- cally or religiously. that is good ior men. that is not enjoyed by Cansdlens. Education is the great question oi the future. In the United States that question has gone against the Catholics; here it has gone in their favor. and the Catholic who could de- sire to exchange the religious liberty he pos- sesses here let the too prevalent know-noth- ingism and secularism oi the Republic. would ‘begullty at a great mistake. But we may be told that it we were annexed to the United States that we would still, as a State. enjoy our religious liberty.- Yes. but we. would be inundated with theories agaimt the liberty‘ we now enjoy. and these theories might, in the end, he the means oi overwhelming us. Apart from the traditional. the social. the commercial and the patriotic reasons for re- jecting the theorists who hold annexation beiore our eyes. there are others. equally. potent. and all oi which will. we are satisfied. result.iu making Canadians contented as they are.

WRIATBB AND GREEN THINGS AMI I'BUUUHID IN NEW YUBK CITY. (From the New York Times) The greens mostly used lor trimming are trees ol lmlssm and spruce. and ropes of the ground pine. tree-vine and deer-vine. Toe trees Vary in height lrom eight to lorty last. the smaller ones being turd principally lor the display ol presents and colored lights and the lura'l‘l' lur church decorations. in which they rtrnd like lorest aentinels beside the altars. These large trees are expensive. and are worth lrom 810 to 015 each. lor to get it Well branched tree of item 25 to 40 lost long it is necessary to cut down one 0! lrom 40 to 60 feet in height. and leave the lower portion where it falls. The smaller ones are. how- evrr, so cheap as to be within the means of almost everybody. They comein bunches cl two. three. or half a dozen and sell according ‘ to their length. At wholesale. six nice little trees. eight or ten lost in height. may be brought for lilty cents. or three of filteen lost in height lor seVenty live cents. Many car loads of them are brought lrom Maine. whence also are sent each year boxes cl emblems. crosses. doves. stars. etc. made by the ladies of many churches. and sold for the benefit ol the poor. the Sunday School. or some other worthy object. But the bulk of the trees come up from the rivu. hack of the Gatskills. or from Fulton County and the Mohawk Val- ley. The great coils ol rope-trimming. made 0! ground pine. or the more popular tree v-ne. all come lrom the valleys ol the Catskills. or from the pine woods 0! New Jersey, and are a source of no inconsider- eble profit to the country lads and leases who make them. They begin weeks be lore Christmas. early in Nolembsr. to get it ready; the bye bringing it lrom the woods by the waggon load. and the girls spending the long erenings in the old kitchens.aronnd the fires in the great fire-places. busily twisting and binding it. A shillul worker can do thirty or lorty yards in an evening, and here it sells from two and a hall to ten cents in yards. according to the thickness of the rope and the mate rial. Arbor vita) trim- ming is the most expensive and the most sought alter. probably on account 0! its strong. pleasing odor. It sells as high as filteen cents per yard when woven into great ropes as large as one's arm lor church trim- ming. The next in popularity lrorn this style of trimming is the leathery red cedar. and next to it is hemlock. with its rich. dark green and glistening surlaoe. Alter these come the ground vines. which in little single strands can be bought as low as two cents a yard. - ,. an! Brides these evergreens, quantities of holly. laurel, box, and green and gray mosses are used. Most of these came from New Jersey. in the vicinity of Keyport and Mates- wan. and from the “ Pines." As the Keyport boat comes up to her pier, on these bright winter mornings, she looks like a floating Birnarn Wood, and presents a curious sight, laden to the guards as she is with living green, and great bunches of scarlet berries. The holly, which, with its shining lesves and bright‘red berries, is the favorite material {or window wreaths. comes from the pine woods of New Jersey, and is in such demand that it is rapidly disappearing from sections where, a few years ago. it was found in apparently in- ‘ exhaustibls quantities. Still, it is very cheap, and window wreaths sell at wholesale (or fifty cents a dozen. The only other berries used are the saffron and red 0! the bittersweet and the scarlet fruit of the black elder, both of which are used to oflset the dark green of hemlock and red cedar. Box is being used quite extensively this year {or wreaths, and laurel, with great wreaths of which the ‘ chapel windows at Oxford and Cambridge. in England, are always decked. is almost as much sought after as holly. A new mate- rial that is entering largely into the manufac- ture of wreaths, stars. crosses, etc , is moss. 0! the gray moss there are two varieties. known to the countrymen as “ ground " and " finger " moss, of which the latter is very rare and delicate. These are both used to mix evergreens, and in some cases the (fleet oi contrasting grey and green is very beau tiiul ; but it too much of the gray is used, it looks sad and innereal.

The younger lady needed no demonstrative indication. for her face iii well known and beloved in England, as it run-u will be in Americaâ€"that oi the Prince”- Louise. Marchioness of Lorne.

Louise and her party into the mushroom. escorted her to the email sofa. where. without further ceremony. sin seated herself. Her " lady and gentlemm in wait-- int." by whom every member oi the royal fan ily is accompanied on going into society .or public places. occupied the chairs near by. According to etiquette. every one had men when the special guests entered and remained standing until they were seated. Ac modes of etiquette in foreign countries are always more or less entertaining. I may as well men- tion certain trifies we observed on this occa- sion. During the intervals between tili- music sung and played the Princess glanced about the room and recognizing poo is she knew desired her compan on to invite them to join her. The young ladies thus called upon came over. and. instead of shaking hands. made a pretty little courtesyâ€"too short to look serviie. and quite graceful enough to do honor to a ball- room. They then sat down near Princess Louise, and conversation was animated on both sides. the royal lady having much to say ‘ about the music performed. Having l\ at her programme she leaned back and borrowed one i of somebody near her, evidently a stranger. ‘ but who seemed ready enough to respond to the pleasantly uttered request. it is her music-master. and all his Songs received liberal applause and expressions of ‘ delight. When the musical part of the day was over. 11â€"â€" icined the Princess' party, and they moved about. looking at the pictures which were here and there on eesele. the Prince as talking earnestly about the Work. in German. which is. of course, like not mother- tongue. Those who approached to speak with her bowed or courtssisd. doing the same on leaving her; but beyond this there was no further formality. unless the recur- rence of “ your Highness " or “ Princess Louise," be considered such. In manner she is frank. unafleciad and cheerful. having plenty to say, and on every variety of subjects; indeed, no member of the royal family is so constantly accused of “opin- ions ;” one is perpetually hearing that the Princess Louise is going to do this, that. or the other. because she "thinks" this and that.
