banking institutions of our city md the West,is
a high compliment to The ability and the prompt
ness with which its business is transacted, mud

Olp Dscgtow THE CouSTERrE11Ea.-01d Big
Glow the countcr(eiter, now in jail here, is get
ling 1nore stout, but has been through too
much to become hale again. lie is a keeu.eyed,
pleasant looking old fellow, Of rather slight
build, about sixty four years Of age by his
birthdays, but, like The darkey, reckoning by
what he had seen and done," he is several cen
turtles old. The life Of such man, with such
! adventures rs Old Bgelow has passed through,
would fill volume, aud possess more Of thrill
ing interest than any Of the "5aller kivercd"
evcr dared aspire to. His whole life has been
passed in very generally successful conflict
with The laws in skl!ful evasion, by more than
ordinary shrewduess. Exercised in any honest
calling, such mind and such enterprise as Big
Glow possesses would have won for him compe-
tence mud honor, and an old age Of ease, sur
rounded by all that mikes life desirable. He
takes his incarceration quietly, though it wears
upon lin. lie is allowed during most honrs OF
the day . free run Of. the jul corridors
