LORDS Cincinnati Detector makes a
statement concerning the way in which
some of the new National Banks are
started in the West that seems rather in,
teresting, aud we therefore quote it;
Abank is Torganized with a nominal
capital of 5000. 900. The sum OF slOO.OOU
is subscribed and paid i'll. This is IN
vested in United States bonds, which is
deposited with the Comptroller, and
S90oe0 in currency issued. This is used
indirectly for purchasing other bonds
and further installment of S5l 900 Is OBJ
tanned in currency This is again used,
and other installments Of $4,000 in eur
rency arereceiyed, and so on ad fRitam.
Thus the bank (Nafional) has bona tide
capital of Sl00. .000l and secured and de-
posted bonds to the amount of S27 900
and has IN circulation notes to the
amount of S244.000. Put these together
and we have S5l6, 900 standing ON $780,
900. Now look at the profits: interest Oh
bonds, equal in currency to s37 ,e4O, IN
terest on circulation, at 3 per cent, S5sS
64u; total, S5l $50! lfrT -..

EX-VICE- PRESIDENT HAMLIN has re
turned to Maine. He is out of office fol
the first time within our recollection
and our memory goes farther back than
we care to own But he'll not long re
main out of office, says the Boston Irar
eller, as it is supposed that President Lin
coin will call him TO some prominent
place. He has been named in conncc
ton with Cabinet Secretalysh but
as Mr.. Welles remains in the Cabinet, II
is not very probable that another New
Highlander will be admitted int" thai
august body.

mond,s Last Communication
fPress Dispatch.

new YORK, March l4.-The Herald's
Washington special, dated 18th, says the
military situation tonight is understood
to be more promising than at any period
during the war. Richmond papers of
to-day are filled with doleful comments
OH the condition of affairs, which they
represent as being desperate. Sheridan,
they admit, has played the mischiefwith
their avenues of supplies, and fears are
expressed that he will rsach Burkes sta
tion unopposed and destroy the last link
between Richmond and anywhere else.
1t is believed here that Sheridan has
already passed Burke's station, the june
ton of the Petersburg, LyAchburg and
Richmond and Danville roads. and gone
to either Sherman or Grant. This saves
Grant the trouble of cutting the South
Side road, and leaves to General Lee the
alternative of starving or dividing his
already depleted force, or opening Rich
mond to promenade for Grant.

ACCORDING 10 the Boston journal the
old plan of mixing water with lard is
now extensively practiced. By pouring
water into the lard, and keeping it con
stantly agitated until it cools, some
twenty-five per cent. of water can be
mixed with the lard. The purity of the
lard may be determined 10y melting il at
temperature of two hundred and
twelve degrees. If it melts without
ebullitiOn Or bubbling it contains no wa
ter; and if it deposits no sediment it is
probably pure Water is also nsed for
increasing the weight OF butter BY
making the butter very salt its capacl-
ty for retaining water IS greatly In'
creased. -
