Wildcat Banking.

It will be remembered that the
telegraph last week informed us of a
heavy bank robbery at Selma, Ala.
The mails bring us the particulars of
the affairs. which have attracted
considerable attention there, and,
as q financial operations, is up to
the full standard of the Wall
Street sharpers-The facts SO far-de-

ago, and oneiday last week the eiti-
zens were startled by the announce
ment that it had been robbed of

gularly enough, no one but the official
named was in the establishment at
the time. and he promptly published
a card exonerating the Cashier and
the subo rdinate officers of the bank
from all responsibility. The bank
was taken in charge by the military
authorities the day after this rob
berry," however, and its officers, in
Guiding Mr.. PARKMAN, the Presi-
dent, were put under arrest, although
they were allowed to go at large on

It is stated that the capital of the
bank was never paidin; that the cir

upon which it was obtained, and that
the bonds JdepositedAt to- secure the

The New York World thus refers
to the position which the once proud
and powerful English Government
now occupies in Continental affairs.
In abiding to the proposed interfer-

Franco-Prussian troubles, it says:
England is too old-womanish and
too shakyjust now to exercise any. IN

has enough to do with her domeitic
troubles, and even if she were dis

Famine in Ireland and Advance in

y 2 a. e ~
To add to the already unwelcome
fact that the stock of wheat is very
lightin this. country. resulting in a.
very high price for -four, we have the,
intelligence that a large foreign de-
mand has sprung up for corn, which
has caused an excited market in New
York, with a corresponding effect
throughout the country. Our financial
advices state that large quantities
have been bought for shipment to
Ireland. The steamers Of Sunday
and Monday brought private advices
that the supply of potatoes and other
vegetables is proving deficient in that
country. and that there are no
means of feeding the peasantry
until another harvest, except with the
Indian corn that may be obtained
from the United States. tNotwith-
standing the stock of corn in New
York and western markets is large,
and railway ffreights reasonably low,
the price advanced FIVE cents perbushef
on the receipt of the news. The crop
East year was>very large, and the stock
yet in the country is heavy, which,
noting freely to theseaboard, may4de1
press the market, but if the reports
from Ireland should be confirmed,
prices may be expected to rule pretty
high. We have, therefore, an addi-
tional reason to look forward with
anxiety for a b ountiful wheat harvest,
to relieve the country of the present
high price of breadstuffs.

The Portable Steam Engine

The invention of the Portable
Steam Engine has made an epoch in
the history of industrial and agricul-
tural pursuits, and the advantages are
SO great and manifold, that the de-
mand for good substantial engines has
increased very rapidly within the last
five years. eaef.ri9
r 1t is only necessary to mention a
few of the many advantages of porta-
BILE steam engines compared with sta
tionary ones. A portable circular
saw-mIl may be moved easily from
one locality to another in a day or
two and set up ready for operation,
lumber per day, according to size or
capacity Of mill, whereas onrthe old
pattern Of the upright or sash mill,
3,0e0 to 1000 feet was considered a
good days work. ~ -es 1suaa aalnaE ~.
Many stationary saw mills were
abandoned, whenever the largetimber
was getting scarce in the neighbour
hood of the mill, as the business
ceased to be profitable on that ac-
count A portable mill can be moved
at short notice, right into the heart of
the forests, where large timber
abounds, and at such seasons of the
year, when an abundant supply of wa
ter for feeding the boiler would be
ready at hand, but where it would be
impracticable to erect a stationary saw
mill, on account of a scarcity of water
during a large portion of the year. For
operating threshing machines, corn
shelters, &C., on a large scale, the porta-
bic engine has supplied a long felt
want. Large quantities of grain may
