To turn from the foolish and fruitless crusade in the Japanese press about the alleged attempt to assassinate the Dal-in-koon, to a much more pleasant subject, I am in a position to inform you that no less than three marriages have taken place here lately. It seems to have been a mutual question in each case of vent, vidi vici! In each case the happy pairs were missionaries. A regular exodus of these reverend gentry has taken place of late, mostly in the direction of Chefoo. How I do wish I could go too--but, unfortunately, I'm not missionary, and my means can't afford the luxury. I know of no Čaikelle missionaries having vacated their posts they stick to their duty, through thick and thin, through hot and cold, blew high, blow low with happy flirtations, loading to the altar of hymen, but as martyrs to stern duty, y

Captain Mayer had carefully concealed from his relatives all knowledge of the fact that he was to fight the duel, and when the news of his sen's death was broken to the father, his grief was extreme. He went to the hospital, and the

when the Oriental was reorganised a few years go it sought to regain something of its old time prestige by showing a large line of deposits. To this end it offered liberal rates of Interest for time deposits. It pursued thịe conso openly and publicly, Many banks that decry the practice as an unwise feature in commercial banking, are known to have their depositors to whom they allow interest But the New Oriental did not hesitate to blason the fact in the public It reads as follows: loterest allowed on deposits, subject to 5 or 3 years notice, 41 yur cent; subject to 5 or 7 years notice, per cent per sem. The bank was paying these sums on a large amount of money on which the average interest received (including like money) was considerably less. This was of coume) a lasing game, and in time the losses footed up quite large ram, which, added to other troubles, caused the downfall of the bank.

The popular wallon concerning the paying of interest on commercial deposits is the correct one, ramely-that-it-is not a good custom to follow. The really strong banks have NO SOCR- slon to resort to such measures, and there not specially strong assume extra bazards by the practice. Especially is dangerous to adopt any Szed rate of a liberal character along that line. Such a couras discourages private enterprise and throws burdens upon the banks which are inimit cal to their higher degres of prosperity, even il they do not seriously embarrass their solvency.

In too many cares the result is insolvency, which affects others than the particular bark involved. The question of paying interest on deposits is being brought home to the New York banks in a very practical way Just now. Of course they all deny that the thing is done, and yet they alt do it, or at least most of them. The Importers and Traders Bank has been prominent in this particular. It is quite in order, therefore, that it should be the first to lead in the reform. We do not anderstand that the banks Intend to abolish the custom. The best they propose it simply to modify the practice by reduction in the amount they will hereafter pay. It is said that the Interest allowed, heretofore has averaged as much as 2 per cent per sanum. In some casDS it has been higher. The rate, whatever it has heen, has been an inducement to interior banks to keep large balances at the seaboard. Now that money is such a drug in New York that call loans at 1 at a per cent per annum ill leave a large surplus above legal resources, It is useless and wasteful to attempt to keep up the old rates for country bank balanes, and hence the reduc tion to the rates of interest on such balances, which some of the New York banks have already adopted.
