The funniest of all bank statements is that which
appears in the NcW-Jersey papers-of the Artisan
Bank, at Trenton, an institution which succeeded
10 the America Bank, both organized under the
General Law. Look at It:

Now il is curious feature 10 the New.Jersey

scrbed shall not be less than $50 600 yet there ~
no obligation on the subscribers to pay 1t in. They
may pay in little as they phase. open shop aud 60

may be set down at low figure, the wonder is who
pays expenses, or by what sort OF engineering the
thing eau he made to- pay.
The fire detectives here are breaking up the in

men in the very act. 1t sounds very strange, but
mOst Of the rascals thus caught turn out 10 be mech
diaries by profession low blsckguards who hang
around the engine houses the victims OF aconhrmed

these arrests, there seems no doubt that lncenda-

as burglary or larceny.
