The WEATHER-THE CRoPs-THE MAILS.
For three days it has been'raining very heavily

and the earth is perfectly saturated.

are backward-the farmershave not more than
half finished planting corn, and what has been
planted seems disinclined t. come up.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF New YORK
Cry The First National Bank Of New York
city las declared its eighth semi-annual dividend
of 10 per cent. out of the net profits Of the hast
six months, beside leaving q handsome surplus.
This, in view OF the diminishing dividens OF
most banks shows prosperity and good man
aeement, and renders of interest a few words
concerning it's history. As its name indicates,
it was the first national bank established IN
this city, and the first one projected Ill the
country. Commencing business in the face OF
the most determined opposition from all The
then existing State banks, it soon, by energetic
and prudent management, overrode all opposl-
ton, and became one of tue leading banks OF
the country. In four years, on its capital OF
$500, 900, it has paid in dividends eighty per
cent and now has over sixty per cent. OF sur
plus profits remaining, which serves as addl-
tionai capital. Although this bank, Us a rule,
does not discount mercantile paper, and has
never solicited deposits with that view, yet Its
gross deposits average nearly five million, and
its discounts are almost exclusively based upon
Government collaterals, which accommodation
it never refuses to d dealer. Its managers and
directors being of large wealth, and never de
sizing accommodation of any kind, such an
item as a loan 10 d director" has never been
known but, on the contrary, the books have
always shown large balances t. the credit OF

CAPITAL AND LABOR. TN all labor there
is profit, said Solomon, and this profit aeeu.
mulated makes capital Capital, the sinews
Of enterprise, demands for larger achievement
the employment of labor. The two are Douhu
together by indissoluble ties; their interests
are identical; and those who endeavor to array
them against each other do harm to both
Demand and supply regulate employment and
wages as well as the products OF labor. oys
TENS, whether legally enacted or not, can only
be sustained while circumstances are favorable,
for the division of labor is a natural outgrowth
of the wants Of society. Fix it TO- day by law
and it is unfxed tomorrow by necessity.
Without capital labor can do nothing in or
ganized society. Labor will do we'll enough in
a virgin prairie or forest toward developing the
products of the earth, with proper seasons to
back it, and there capital first begins to accu-
mulate; but in civilized communities which
have existed long enough to diversity labor by
innumerable divisions, it Is dependent upon
capital. A laboring man who has ITO capital
needs to work for somebody else who has, and
who will give him money for his work. The
extent of employment IN a city, therefore, de-
pends entirely upon the amount OF capital that
EMPLOYERS put into active use. If many Of the
principal employers combine and withhold their
means, it throws thousands Of workmen out OF
employment and creates great suffering. Cal-
ital is conservative. 1t takes no risks if it can
help it. Men who have money must see tfelr
way clear to make it reproduce before they will
invest. While there is danger they can afford
to wait. But the laborer cannot afford to wait.
His daily bread depends upon his daily work.
