[coMMUNIcArEp.]
1.-THE Eastern Bank, of Washington, D. c., is
| redeemed at No. lac Bowery, at J per cent
| These are the words of n card in the advertising
| columns of the New York Tribune. The writer
| has known the banks Of Washington for a number
| of years, but has recollection of ever having
| heard before of the Ea stern Bank. He does not,
however, question its existence This is the age of
queer financial vitalities. 1t may have a local
| habitation well as name. What he marvels at
that the advertiser invidiousy offers to redeem
it's notes alone, while we have several other banks
not yet called upon to go into liquidation.

institutions, plain, honest, and simple minded men
should be able to read something like warning,
of which the wary at least should take heed 1t is
eaid that a fool may be taught by experience. II

they have surely had fair chance to graduate
