The New Bedford Mercury says "that there are some facta in connection with the announcement that the Arctic whaling fleet will not sail out of Ban Francisco this spring walch have not been told. The reason g1en, that the i-ali-h of the Dundee fleet bus glutted the market with bone, nmy be put aside, for the truth Is the Dundee fleet hnd an unsuccessful season, and the bone Is not of a quality that competes with that taken from the mammoth bowheods which are the prizes of the 'Arctlce fleet. It is true, however, there Is an ample stock of Arctic bone on hand, and Inasmuch as there Is no prof it worth wlille at a price under $5 a pound, and an Increased supply would tend to depress the price, the whaling oigents have no Incentive to fit the ships. "The hazard of life and fortune in Arctic whullng is out of all proportion to the wealth it has brought. The fact that the great fleet of half a hundred or more whalers that once resorted to the Arctic has been reduced to six or eight, the others have been grounds In the remorseless ice lioaes, is impres sive. The little remnant that has es caped the clutch of the ice daunts at least the men who have hitherto looked upon the hairbreadth escapes and dis astrous chances as but a part of the day's work. "Nevertheless, it is probable the ships would have kept on 'through fog to fog, by luck and log', sailing as Ber ing sailed,' trusting to him who 'clears the grounding bergs and steers the grinding floe,' until Ihe Ice hnd claimed the Inst ship, had It not been for the attitude of the United Slates govern ment. As It is, there is very small chalice that any of the fleet of steam whalers will ever again sail to the north. Until within a few years It was truly said: 'There's nfever a law of God or man runs north of Fifty-three." "This Is no longer the case. The revenue cutter Bervlce dispenses law In the Arctic now, and the agents say It Is capricious and arbitrary authority which adds the last risk and eslablishes a prohibition upon the whaling Indus try there. When the revenue cutter of ficer overhauled steamer William Bay lies a couple of seasons ago aml placed Captain Bodflsh under arrest, ordering him to report at Nome October 1, the voyage of the ship waB broken, and the owners and men lcet. thousands of dollars, m It was necessary for the ship to leave in the height of the whal ing season. From the naiture of the Arotlo busdneea It often happens that the crews comprise desperate and dan gerous men. There Is bound to be con tinual trouble, and If the revenue offi cers can take the captalnB out of their ships upon complaints of such men and thereby break voyages, the chance is one no Investor will take. The agents do not expect the masters of their ves sels shall escape the consequences of misbehavior, but if their are accused they say there can be no harm in wait ing for the return of the vessels before making an arrest. Capt. Bodflsh, It may be added, was acquitted of the charges brought against him. "The whaling agents say the Bhore traders conspire against them, and have used the missionaries, who are themselves traders In many cases, to make representations to the President, ae a result of which the revenue ser vice has been unduly exacting. Many of the whalers have engaged Ini trading, and have Incensed the shore traders by getting, in some cases, a monopoly of the business. The methods of the traders have not beer different from those of the Bhore traders, but a ship can be held to an accounting where a detached trader cannot. In some ships trading is forbidden, the owner taking the ground that the time wasted with the natives can be more profitably em ployed In whaling; but some of the men of the ship may carry on a private enterprise and the owners suffer vi carious punishment In greater degree than the actual offender. "At best, the whaling ventures In the Arctlo are not as profitable as Is gener ally assumed. It costs about $20,000 to fit a vessel for a voyage. Assuming the ship escapes the countless perils and takes three whales, which Is a fair average catch, or better, this means a revenue of $30,000. It requires $10,000 to settle the voyage, and If the vessel Is to be sent to sea again, the $20,000 is required for refitting. The whales are retreating to the north and east, and It Is only under the most favorable cir cumstances a vessel can chase them to their last stand and get out before the pack closes in upon them. "These circumstances, In connection with the alleged oppression of the gov ernment, has led the owners to take their profits and retire from the enter prise. The vessel will lay up In the San Francisco docks, and It Is doubt ful If they ever again "hear the floe pack clear and the blast of the old bull whale.' It may be the whalemen may fit out sailing vessels and make occa sional voyages to the Arctic, but it is safe to -predict that the doom of the steam whaler Is sealed. "No steam whalers have been built In many years, and ft is now admitted they were a mistake. They frightened the whales from the grounds they had frequented, and there were other cir cumstances that were a drawback. The masters of steam vessels are required to take out a license, and some of the best whalemen could not meet the re quirements. So It happened that the "boat-header' system was Introduced; Men of the merchant service were placed in command of the steam whalers in some Instances and ex pert whalemen were shipped as boat headers at a lay above that allowed the nf the vessels. The bouthead- er was In command of the boats when they lowered for whales, and at other times he was an anomalous figure aboard ship. "The disasters of 1871 and 1879 de stroyed the vessels by wholesale, tha Shenandoah preyed upon them, and the ice pack picked them off one by one. To the ever-present foes of uatuie the United Slates government contrib uted its menace to the Investment, and so ends another Incident of the bravest Industry in which during men ever en guged." BOSTON AND OLD BALTIMORE. Bits of Two Cities Which Might Bs Transplanted, Boston Is spectacularly unlike New York or Washington, cities of mag nificent vistas, but somewhat like Baltimore, which is still, In spite of huge characterless areas thrldded by narrow streets and crowded with dis tressing pressed brick fronts, a city of picturesque bits and dignified an tique survivals. Fifth avenue at dusk of a rainy night, with the home-going crowd afoot and on wheels, with the bewildering noises of street and side walk, and the blinding glare of lights that attack the eye alike from street lamps and shop windows, and by reflection from glassy wet surfaces, seems like some huge, Implacable, Ir reslstable embodiment of power mov ing pitilessly onward, a car of Jug gernaut, Into interminable space. Boston has nothing like this to show. Nor has It aught nearly resembling the large and serene beauty of the National Capitol grounds, seen at a distance upon a clear June morning, when that lovely dome flonts like a huge - bubble upon the deliciously green tons of the surrounding trees, while a soft and stainless sky seems the fitting frame to an exquisite spectacle. There are bits of old Baltimore, however, which look as If transplant ed directly from BoBton, and Balti more's finest urban precinct, that within the shadow of the Washington Monument, could be transferred to Boston without looking homesick. The surviving old-fashioned houses In by streets bordering this precinct look like the dwellings that front the narrower streets In the neighbor hood of our delightful Loulsburg square, and the bronze statue of Teackle Wallls, which draws from one who encounters It unawares the Involuntary exclamation: "This was a gentleman," might be placed upon some open-air stairway of Boston and betray no alien aspect.

The object to which the child stretches his hand Indicates, according to ac cepted belief, his future vocation. The coin is for commerce, the sword for the army, the cross and the book re spectively point to the church and the law or learning, while the fruit de notes a farmer or landowner.
