THE NATIONAL BANKS,

WHEN THE BANKS oPENED YESTERDAY
morning it was with hopes buoyant, which BAN
ished anxiety. Officers, Directors, and employees
seemed inspired with cheer. It may be true, as
tho old adage has it, that "caro killed cat"
but II 40, it must be admitted that that purring
feline, ordinarily accredited with being tho
persistent posso6sor Of niue lives, has less So
lidity In existence md poworsof endurance than
Chicago Bank President. The latter had for
days been badgered and bothered. and bur-
ried aud harraBged, aud asaniled and
abused, and confoundcd and cursed,
and dogged, and doviled, and entroatod
and enforced and Hurried aud fought, and
gnawed and CALLED, and implored and insisted,
and tawod aud jabbered, aud so On to the end Of
the alphabet Of torture, including being prayed
tor and being preyed upon but, dispite all, they
came to tho scratch with remarkable suavity,
and to the inquisitorial reporter presented only
velvet claws.
AT THE FIRST NATIONAL DANK,
business during tho day was conducted with the
quiet and regularity that marks everyday trans-
actions. There WAS hero neither d rush OF de-
poeitors nor hurry Of creditors, but the close
Of the transactions showed handsome gain Of
currency In the bank vaults. nlr. L. ]. Gage, the
courteous Cashier, WAS at his post with d ready
welcome for every friend, and a amilo for every
foo, ii tho Imagination may fancy the bearer Of o
heavy ohock such being, After tue cloHo of tho

enough to meet prominent hnaucier from Now

promise not to herald his name to the public.
Immediately concerning tho First National,
Mr. Gage said everything waB lovely" Tho
continuation Of tue sohool-boy expression, eigni-
flying that the downy biped hRngoth above it's
accustomed altitude, Instantly hoatod through
tho n1ind Of tho reporter, but its consideration
WAS baniahed by more practical information.
The First National had received considerable
sumB In balances from tho East since tho close Of
businops Oh Saturday, aud had added to its accu-
n.rlatod treasure by tho continued confidence re-
posed by dopostors. The transactions Of
tho day had been largo, With balances
most satisfactory. A number OF now accounts
had boon opono1, md Tho augmentation Of buBi-
ness WAS conclusive proof that the troaHu1e-
vaults OF deposit institutions hal bcon nnlook-
cd, aud that Idle capital, hoardoa in tho lays Of
