BANK MOVEMENTS IN RICHMOND. The
Richmond correspondent OF the Baltimore Sun
says: -"There is little secret history connec
ted with the Withdrawal of Mr.. Macarland, pres
dent, and John NJ. Goddin, cashier. from the
Planters National Bank Of this city. The
common impression is that these gentlemen
withdrew to accept similar positions in the
State Bank Of Virginia. just chartered, hut the
truth is that both We're ousted by stroke of
financial policy. Mr.. John b. Davis. cf Rich.
mond, long stakeholder in the Planters
National Bank, some time ago became dis
pleased at the administration of the bank aud
the small dividends he received on his invest
ment, and he sought to sell his stock to the TO-
stitution. Failing in this, he began, about
two mouths ago, when the shares were selling
for less than $50, to buy up all the stock he
could find 10 market, soon running 1t up to
$50 per share, He managed, however, with
the assistance Of Reuben Ragland. of Peters.
burg, to secure enough stock to control the
bank, and the result is that he is president,
with a salary Of S., 900. aud his son, John &.
Davis, is cashier with salary OF 81, 900. One
good turn deserving another, Davis also aided
Reuben Raeland to play the same game, to 4
like result, with the First National Bank oil
Petersburg. The stale Bank OF Virginia IS an
advantage which the cti2ans otlilchmond de-
rive from the change in the management Of
the Planters National Bank.

ton likely to prove serviceable to all
whe eat and drink:
f. NV attention has been directed TO a
substance sold. largely by dealers under
the name of sugar drips, and aiterward
retailed as golden syrup, which, upon
investigation, appears to be a triumph
of science over nature, since 1t contains
no sugar at all, but is produced by the
destructive action of strong sulphuric
acid Toll of v~itrioll upon starch. AS
some prefer giving their young ones
syrup made from sngar-cane, the old.
fashioned way, / will state a method
for distinguishing the difference Dis
solve a teaspoonful of the golden
syrup in a wine-glass of rain water;
then add a few grains of tannic acid,
when it will turn black as ink if the
article is spurious. If not convenient
to procure tannip, make a cup of strong
tea (which contains %tannin), and add a
teaspoonfui Of the " golden and a fair
quality Of ink will appear. [ would
suggest the name Of brazen syrup to
distinguish the vitriol from that OF
sugar-cane. -

Very respectfully,
JOHN III. POPE, Druggist.

Contagious and epidemic diseases
are now believed by scientists to be
caused by living organisms which float
in the air in the form of fine dust.
These organisms enter the human sys-
tenn through the breathing passages
and lungs, terminate, and spread over
the body with astonishing rapidity'
Professor Tyndail, Of London, recon-
mends the use Of filters of cotton wool,
to be so applied to the nostrils as TO
cause the air to pass through the cotton,
thus eftectually srresting the infectious
dust.-[Scientific American. -.

The smoke of the dried leaves of a
pumpkin burnt on a bright fire will, it
is said, cause flies to quit an apartment
instantly or it will kill them. Birds
must be withdrawn before the operation,
and persons should abstain from going
into apartments Immediately after, as
the smoke causes headaches. The
employment of laurel oil is also said to
be a preservative against flies, as they
cannot bear the smell of it.
