We extract the following from the
Evening News ofThursday
Our money market continues to
present no new features of interest. :
which may be considered capable Of
bcneiting our business men at the
present. Our banks are making many
changes in their business, with tho
view of conforming to the pressure of
the times. IT, in doing this, they shall ,
hit upon general course, and which
is capable Of being carried out at all s
times. we think they will greatly
benefit themselves and the community.
also. One Of their changes, we under-%
stand, is the reduction Of their dis.
counts, as regards each amount. We.
have always considered the discount.
ing of large amounts, for one man at !,
one time, bad policy. 1t withdraws
from the bank a large amount of it's
means at one draw, which is not again
returned until it all comes back; thus
criplng the resources of the bank for a
long period, to be only removed at
long intervals, and then again renewed :
Immediately, with the view Of keeping
its funds active. LII.
When 4 bank manages It's business !
so as to have its discounts coming d;ya
in equal proportions every day, it is
always able to discount paper for its
customers as they may want it, instead
of requiring them TO await its slow,
action. 1t is also better able to mako
use of its deposits, because this con-
tlnued incoming Of its funds is always
supplying it with thu means to meet
any ordinary demai.s. But these are
not all the benefits which a bank,
receives. When bank makes small
loans it gets greater number of
securities, and runs less risk ofloss.--,
1t will also create large number Of;
depositors, whose business, by reason. !.
of this regularity on the part Of the
bank discounts, are in q healthy condi.
ton, and thus become profitable to the
bank. These large loans are not only
injurious to the bank, but also to tho
pcople-for where they are being
raised, the absorption necessary for
this purpose imparts to the market a.
strlngency unknown to small loans.-
BESIDES these, they increase spccula.&

100000, whilst its deposits have
reached above that, and yet during its
existence, possessing lhisIarge capitas,
it has never loaned atfoiict time oyer

This bank has continued, during a.it
times of plenty and pressure, paying.
dividends every year of its existence

TO my feet the river glideth
Through the shadow, sullen, dark;
On the stream the white moon rideth,
Like a barque.
And the linden leans above me,
Till / think some things there be
In this dreary world that love me,
Even mel
Gentle flowers are springing near me,
Shedding sweetest breath around,
Countless voices rise to cheer me
From the ground.
And the lone bird comes-I hear It
In the tall and windy pine
Pour the sadness Of its spirit
Into mine!
There It swings and sings above me,
Till I think some things there be
In this dreary world that love me,
Even me!
Now the moon hath 1oated to me,
On the stream see it sway,
Swinging, boat like, as 'twould WOO me
Far away:
And the stars bend from the AZURE
I.ccuad reach them where I lie,
And they whisper all the pleasure
OF the sky.
There they hang and smile above ME
Till'Ithirk some thugs there be
I'm the very heavens that love me,-

= dry letter from the dry diggins.
Well, here goes at venture. Galena
Hill, as you will see by reference to the
Map of the world, is situated in Yuba
County, not far from the Sierra line, and
in close proximity to the little village of
Camptonville. The mines here are SINH
lar to those of Camptonyille, and other
places GA the " gravel range, " being
mass Of burnt aud decayed qrartz, very
soft, and consequently worked oa the n.y.
draulic principle. The miners here have
been much more successful than at any
other place on the whole range, and it is
my private opinion that Galena uill con-
tains the best diggings in the State. The
nature of the diggings here will not admit
of raising an excitement, from the fact
that there is no coarse gold, but there are
plenty of claims fere that will average,
from the FIRST Of January to the last Of
December, $25 per day. This is ne guess
work, but the result of actual experiment,
and can show, at any time, company
books that will beat this.
TIE town contains three good stores, all
of which are doing fine business. Aside
from boarding houses, we have two hotels:
Hartman's and the Galena House, with
billiard saloons and groceries, ad in6ni-
