BANK OF COMMUNICATIONS.
PROPOSED I. T. TRANSACTIONS,
Mr. Tano Ju-lin, the new Managing Direntor of the Bank of Communications, has been very active since taking up his work in the bant One of his plans for improving the condition of the Bank of Communications is to raise enough funds for the purpose of selling drafts on all its branches, so that Peking merchants may make remittances to the outports through his bank. We learn (says The Peking Daily News) that the Bank of Communications will soon make an an nouncement to the effect that it will do cept its Peking notes in selling drafts on its Shanghai Branch or any of its branches in the provinces, but the notes will have to be reckoned in silver ac cording to the rate of the day. Then the Shanghai branch on receiving the tela graphic notice regarding such drafts will pay out silver just like any other bank. It is understood that the above plan. which is to precede the resumption of specie payment, will come into operatione very soon:

KIPLING AND THE NEUTRAL.
Brethren, how alall it fore with me
When the war is laid aside, If it he proven that I am he
For whom a world has died?
If it be proven that all my good,
And the greater good I will make, Were purchased for me by a multitude
Who suffered for my sake?.
That I was delivered by mere mankind,
Vowed to one sacrifier, And not, as I hold them, battle-blind, But dying with opened eyes?
Var
That they did not ask me to draw the sword
When they stood to endure their lot, That they only looked to me for a word,
And I answered I know them not?
