The same who, in 1853, became my regular
attendant out of doors everywhere in the
Highlands, who commenced as giliie in 1949,
and was selected by Albert and me to 90 with
my carriage. In 1851 he entered our service
permanently. and began in that year leading
my pony, and advanced step by step by his
good conduct and intelligence. His attention,
care and fathfulness cannot be exceeded, and
the state of my health, which Of late years has
been sorely tried and weakened, renders such
qualifications most valuable, and, indeed NEST
needfnl in constant attendant upon all oeca-
sions. He has since, most deservedly, been
promoted to be an upper servant, and my per-
manent personal attendant December, 1867
He has all the independence and elevated
feelings peculiar to the Highland race and is
singularly Straightforward, simple minded kind
hearted and disinterested, always ready to
oblige, and of a difereti0n rarely to be met
with. He is now in his fortieth year. His
father was small farmer, who lived at the
Bush, on the opposite side to Balromal

The exhibit is extremely satisfactory The
liabilities of the banks to the public are for
circulating notes 81 537 ,525, and for deposits
$780, 292, in all $12,9O6,Sl7 The circulation
is protected by a cash reserve alone of $1,O12,-
ll6, over thirteen per cent, to which if We add
bills of other banks and other cash items we
have 81 ,578, 1858, almost twenty-one per cent
The circulation and deposits are further pro-
tected by an aggregate of $10053,006 in ma
tional and other securities, making total of
Sl1 63 1896, ninety per cent of the entire liabil-
tiles, in cash and approved securities. This is
a very strong exhibit, and if we observe furth
er that the stock, surplus and profits exceed
the loans and discounts by half million, and
the banks are accordingly doing business with
their own money solely, it will be apparent
that whatever may be the danger of tinan-
cial crisis elsewhere, in Maine our banks are
as safe as the government itself, and the bust
ness which depends upon them for aid will
not find them wanting. The cash reserve falls
little below the average (15 per cent. of cir
culation) noted yesterday in the abstract of
the reports of all the National banks in the
country. In all other respects, the banks of
Maine are much stronger than the average.

ANOTHER Book BY THE QUEEN-Late files

Queens new book entitled Leaves from the
Journal of our Life in the Highlands, from

say that the Queens prodigality of adjectives
