For houses at that price aud under there was a good demand, and would be little orno reduction. Stores on Madison street, cligibly sicaated like those within a mile of the bridge, commanded about the same rents as last year; but in less-desirable localities the tendency was to cheaper rents. ¥ THE NOETH SIDE. Enaner Bros., of North Clark street, etated that in the desirable quarter of the North Side, that Iying sonth of Chicago aveune and east of Clark street, rents both for houses and stores were about e same. The exceptions were the csses of ex- peneive houses, which were hardly wanted at all, £0 geueral was the desire of people to retrench and live economically. There is a great demand on the North Side for suites in apartment-houses renting 4t $20 to S30 a month. As soon 2s any such suite isoffered for rent it is immediately taken, and more are called for. THK BOSINESS DISTRICT AND THE SOUTH SIDE. Mr. John DeKoven, Cashier of the Merchants' National Bank, ssid that in the business district 1he beaviest reductions were in the case of what ore called **fire" leases, —that is, leases made at high rentsl just after the Great Fire, A five-year lense made in 1672 8t 4,500 a year had been re- newed this yearat $2,100, and similar redactions Lad been made in 8 great many cases. As between rents this year and last in the onsiness district, there were reductions in some cases and not in othere, STORES ON DRARBOEN NEAE LAKE THAAT had Lronght $1,000 last year had been let this year 2t 3800, while 10 other cases leases werc made at the same flzures as before. Mr. Danic) A. Jones said that rents In the Board of Trade Luilding had, on the whole, been reduced. The total income of the Chamber of Commerce from its rents last year had been $87,500; this year itwonld be $63,000 to §70,000. Ofiices on the vecond floor were in demand and brought unre- duced rents, bat in other places $1,800 oflices were let at £1,500, $6,000 for 33,500 3+ 000 for 500. Sr. J.

But by this time they had become used to discour- agements, and each additional obstacle only added fire to their jzeal. They started for Go- mer Station, on the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad, resolved to o to St.Joseph that night to be married. At Gomer they found an obliging official, who in brief time pronounced them husband and wife, and although they had then traveled over thirty miles since 12 o'clock, over some of the muddiest, roughest, and most disagreeable roads, they rode howme, about six miles, one of the happiest couples in the world.

Dress-trimmings are to be satin; so they will probably not be put ou pull-backs.—Loston Bull- elin. b An Irish waiter, speaking of 8 lady's black eves, say: “They are mourning for the mur- ders they have committed.” A tropical Georgian maid said she would rather be a black bombazine band on her adored one’s bat than live without him. You can always detect a bachelor by the way he handles a baby; but, to be safe from loss, it is well to use 3 borrowed baby in making the experiment.

She was sweetly dreaming of brizht golden fields where lowers breathed perfuine, aud she thought she was chasing butterflies.

Itis thus seen how utterly unreltable, at least in some respects, are the inancial exhibits made by this Company, the ten principal ofticers of which receive annnal salaries which aversgo within 330 of 312,000 each. In justice to other companies, it should be stated that the report of the Insurance Commissioner of Massachusetts, from which_the foregoing extracts are taken, ehows that where the ratio of expensce of the Mutual life is 14. 23 per cent, the eame ra- tios, in the cascs of the largest life companies of Musenchusettd, Connecticnt, New Jersey, and Wis- consin, are respectively 10.1d, 10.18, 9.92, and 12.05 per cent, and it would be quite unreasonable to presumed that there bas been any very remarka- ble cliange In the past two years, 4+V." also repeats a charge which was openly made soms time since by a former officer of this Com- pany, over his own siznatare, viz., that in one year the oflicers appropriated to their ownuse as a *-bonus on the business of the Company ™ the sum of $189,622.0+4 In uddition to their enormous sal- aries, which sum they covered up under the ac- count of dividends paid to policy-holders, or, as **V." has it, under the account of taxes, The two chief oflicers of this Company receive for their ser- vices the #uu of $48,000 per anpum. This compensation is certainly suficient for one or the other of these two gertlemen to make u pub- licreply to the statements of the Massachusetts Commisejoner in respect to cooking their acconnts and the reitesated charge of the!r former associate in regard to improperly tuking $189, 000 besides their ealaries.
