TIE FINANCIAL PANIC.

Let us keep cool. This is our advice to
stockholders, depositors, presidents, cash.
iers and directors of banks and banking
institutions, as well as to the people at this
particular turning point in financial mat
ters. The very unexpected intelligence
flashed over the wires yesterday Of the
suspension Of tho Petersburg banks
reproduced here the uneasy feeling
caused by tho unexpected crash in New
York last week, and caused runs on
several of our banking institutions which
they have not been stout enough to with
stand. Temporary suspensions have fol-
lowed. This measure, though to be regret
ted, as it inconvenience the people, is not
good argument against the solvency of
any Richmond banking institution. They
are all safe and reliable are in the hands
of prudent tinanciers, and will pay dollar
for dollar of what they owe and that very
soon. Ii merchants and private indvidu-
ais will make common cause with the
banks, towards staying the panic, all will
yet be well. No person who wants to be
safe himself can afford to lend the least in
huence to that senseless crowd who talk
OF terrible things and are doing their best
to fulfill their own gloomy forebodings,
The fact that the savings banks have
availed themselves of their chartered right
to require notice of intended drafts is in
no sense to be looked upon as alarming.
On the contrary, it is all the more calcu-
lated to reassurc depositors as to their en-
tire security. Small depostors, we as
sumo, will not be inconvcnienccd thereby,
and the larger depositors will see and
recognize tho wisdom of this conservative
action. There is certainly no occasion
for financial crisis in this city.

A writer in the Chicago Advance SAYS
! that the ventriloquist's art is as easy to
| learn as falling Off q log. He maintains
that there is no difficulty in acquiring the
power. In the first place, he says, speak
any word or sentence in your own natu-
raj tone /; then open your mouth and fix
your jaws fast, as though trying TO hinder
any one from shutting them or opening
them any further; draw the tongue back
IN ball; speak the same words, and
the sound, instead Of being formed in
The mouth, will be formed in the pharynx.
Great attention must be paid to holding the
Jaws rigid. The sound will then be found
to initiate voice from the other side of
the door when it is closed, or under the
lloor or through the wall. 70 initiate
sound behind a door partly opened, the
voice must not be altered from the original
pitch or note, but must be made in another
part of the mouth. This is done by
closing the lips tight and drawing one
corner Of the mouth downwards or toward
the ear. Then let the lips be opened
at that corner only, the other part TO re-
main closed. Next, breathe, as it were,
the words out Of the oIilicc formed. Do
not speak The words distinctly, but expel
the breath in short pufis at each word and
as loud as possible. BY so doing you pro-
duce the illusion in the minds of your
listeners that they hear the same voice
which they heard when the door was
closed, but more distinctly and nearer on
account of the door being open. The lips
mus always be used when the ventrilo-
quist wishes to have it appear that the
sound comes through some obstacle, but
from some one close at hand.

IF our English cousins are right, then
we must admit that our cattle intended for
the butcher, even those stall-fed, get too
much exercise. In England when far
mer would produce the best beef he digs a
pit, say six feet deep and ten square, and
into this the bullock is lowered and a
shelter built. 1t is then supplied with all
the roots, hay and meal it can digest; the
needful quantity of water is also furnished,
as well as an abundance of dry straw for
litter. The droppings are trampled under
foot as the animal moves about in his mar
row cell, and gradually by their accumula-
ton rise to level with the surface of the
ground, by which time the animal is usually
ready for the knife, and yields rich and
juicy flesh, and leaves many tons of ex-
cellent manure firmly packed in the pit.

CONSIDERABLE attention is given in
Germany to the manufacture of sugar and
syrup from potatoes. The wet starch is
first put into large tub, where, under
constant stirring for an hour, il is entirely
dissolved in water and diluted acid 1t runs
thence into watts, where it can be boiled by
steam, and here it remains for syrup two
or three hours, and for sugar four to five
hours. 1t is then put into the neutralizing
tanks to be treated with carbonate of lime,
and left until the sediment, chiefly gypsum,
has settled. This usually requires about
six hours. The sweet liquid thus obtained
is evaporated in vacuum pans, filtered, and
left to crystalize if sugar is to be made, or
is manufactured into syrup.
