George Burgess new mansion on Columbus
street is TO be quite handsome residence. We
regret that he should have chosen so unfashiona-
bic quarter the city he has as he would have
found it an honor to have allowed even the
shadow of our magnificent shed to have occa-
sionally fallen upon his more humble mansion,
especially after we shall have had new thatch
put on and the front gate reprinted yellow, and
our leading rooster taught to crow Yankee
Doodle" with perfect success. We take occasion
here to observe that the engineers blow the
whistles of their engines every time they pass
our shed, which the same is about 20 feet from
the railroad track. This proceeding on the part
of the engineers has exasperatcd us, and We eX-
postulated. They say that they never pass with
out hearing us saving on our internal fiddle, and
that they have to blow their whistles in self
defense, to drown the eXcruciating scrcechng Of
the fiddle. Since then we have Il grudge against
railroad engineers as a class, and do not hesitate
tC dcnOuncc them as persons who have no apprc-
citation of the divine art Of music. They pretend
that their self-respect compcls them to drown
the music 4 man who would deliberately drown
frst-class music is only fit to drown kittens.

\ SAD CAsE.-On Monday last, in the after.
noon, woman was seen lying in ditch not far
from Mr.. Forces residence in East Ottawa. As
those who first discovered her thought she was
drunk, and as policemen seldom wander that far
from the heart of the city, she was not looked
after Later in the evening word was brought
to alderman Smith Of the woman, that she had
buried her infant under sidewalk near by, and
that she was dying. The alderman repaired TO
the spot to make personal examination of the
affair The infant proved to be an armful of con.
cert bills deposited by some cunning boys, who
thus turn an honest quarter or SO in their pc
culiar mode of distributing bills TO the resi-
denccs-by buryng them in bundles at conycn-
lent places He found enough to excite the
commiscration of even a savage i'll the wrctchcd
woman's condition "Shc had thrown herself in
ditch TO die she fccbly said. "sncc no one
cared for herr she had that day walked against
the cold March wind from Marseillcs, and had
had 10 food nor drink all day She gave her
name as Mary Council, escaped from the Cook
County Poor House and Insane Asylum, fact
attcstcd by bottle Of medicine which she had
in her pocket labeled, prescription for Mary
Conncll," with the name Of the above named in
stitutiou. She had walked until her strength
failed her, and exhausted, She had fallen near
where she was found and crcpt there to escape
observation and to die in the ditch The hor-
ros Of the case were heightened by the fact that
she is near becoming a mother,
The poor woman was removed and as kindly
cared for "a the circumstances Of the case would
permit On Tuesday she was sent to the poor
house.

OUR DISTRICT BANKS.

We have the best Of reasons, Rs will be
seen by reference TO our reports Of interviews
with various bank officers of this city, for
stating that our District banks, outside OF
the First National are perfectly solvent and
sound totally unaffected by the cOmplca'
tions Of Jay Cooke Il Co. Let the result OF
their suspension be what 1t may 1t will not
necessarily affect the condition OF any OF the
Legitimate national banking institutions. The
bill-holdcrs and drpositnrs are both perfectly
secure.
There Is, therefore, no necessity for any
thing like financial panic in this quarter.
While the temporary suspension, even, Of n
house of the magnitude Of TINT Of jay Cooke
Il Co. will necessarily affect, to greater or
less degree, the volume OF available capital
and, 10 some extent, The circulating me-
dnm also, II must he remembered that all OF
our national banking currency Is fully
secured by the deposits Of United States
Government stocks with the Treasurer
of the United Stalcs, Consequently, let
wbat will come, the bill holders are safe
so long rs the United states 10 sol
vent, Besides this the national bank re-
se yes and assets are u sufficient protection to
ths dspositors. Therefore, we repeat there
National Republican., 1873-09-19

is no necessity for alarm on the part Of orr
business community.
Our saving banks, fortunately, have rc'
Gently been examined and strengthened In
every respect, under the late act OF Congress
empowering the Comptroller Of Currency to
hold supervisory control over them
On an occasion like the present OF course
the streets arc Allied with the widest rnmors
of the most exaggerated character But
little faith should be placed in these, but the
banks and their customers the merchants
should stand shoulder to shoulder, placing
the utmost confidence in each other and eS'
crting every effort to sustain the reputation
Of all until the back OF the gale Is broken
