THE PROSPECTS FOR DEPoSITORS

That Third is unfortunate location for
financial institutions fully demonstrated yesterday
by the closing up of four banks-viz the Peoples
Savings Bank the Security Savings Bank the Central
Park Savings Bank and the Manufacturers and
Builders Bank OF Deposit The sudden col
lapse of these banks, following SO quickly upon
that Of the notorious Third Avenue Bank caused no
little CONSERVATION among all classes OF citizens and it
nfrequent thing to hear loud and angry Ian
guage uttered against all banking institutions generally
and particularly against the officers of the three savings
banks already named, for having, II claimed,
continued to receive peoples money when they
must have been Of their insolvency. Owing,
perhaps to the heavy rain storm there but few of
the unfortunate depostors who visited the premises
where their money is locked up. In fact, bnt for the
closed doors and the presence OF policeman guard
would have passed by without knowing that any
thing SO serious stoppagc had occurred Even
the few untortunates who did visit the
broken banks in the most
dulcet by the different officials that their money
perfectly safe and they would only have wait
short time get it full dollar for dollar However
II appears from all the inquiries that made that
with the exception of the Manufacturers and Builders
Bank there is considerable doubt about the capablty
of any OF the others to meet their liabilities except
perhaps, at very heavy discount The statements Of
the several banks and the information obtained from
the officials given herewith
CENTRAL PARK BANK.
The announcement made by the HERALD that re-
cever had been appointed wind up the affairs of the
Central Park Savings Bank doubtless prepared the
positors for the closing OF the doors yesterday
ing for there nothing like any of the usual ee1te
men around the premises that is usually attendant
bank failure In fact there was no one present in
the Offices through the day either 10 give
information or answer inquiries The President and
Vice President could not be found and no statement
could therefore be obtained from them the assets
and liabilities. The following, however, correctly sets
forth the condition of the bank last January sworn

stoppage q source OF wonderment to tho public
at large as well as 10 the friends of the institution al
though 1t had been step under consideration by tho
directors for time past The suspension waa
brought about by the general stagnation in trade and
building which has greatly nterfered with the business
of the bank 1t having hitherto had large clientele
among the contractors and others who have tma
since been engaged in erecting blocks upon blocks Of
buildings in the neighborhood These people used to
keep large accounts with the bank but
all building operations have ceased OF lata
there has been corresponding falling OF IN
the banks business. Seeing immediate prospect OF
Improvement II was determined to 60 INTO voluntary
liquidation for the interest Of all concerned

The Number OF Eggs in a Hen.

A curious point Of inquiry among |
biologists has been, for long time, now |
MANY eggs are there in tho oyary OF a |
henP To determine this German natu- |
ralist, short time since, instituted some
careful investigations, the result OF
which showed the ovary Of hen to con-
tain about GOO embryo eggs. lie also
found that some twenty OF these are ma
tured the first year, l20 during the sec
ond wear, l35 during the third, 114 during
the fourth, and during the Fifth, sixth,
seventh and eighth years the number de-
creases by twenty annually-lt conse-
quently following that after the fourth,
or at most the fifth year, hens are no
longer profitable az layers, unless 1t may
be in exceptional instances. Some inter-
esting experiments were also made
short time since in Germany, to compare
the comparative fecundity of ducks and
hens-that is, from which of the two the
larger number Of eggs can be obtained
in the same time. For this purpose
three hens and three ducks were selected,
all Matched in February and nourished
with suitable food. The following
Autumn the ducks had laid 225 eggs,
| while the hens laid none. In the next
| February the laying season began again
with tho ducks, and continued uninter-
rupted until August. They showed no
inclination to sit but became very thin,
although they afterwards fattened up
somewhat. The total number of eggs
laid by the hens amounted to 257. or
eighty six eggs each, and 392, or 13l each
for the ducks. Although the eggs of the
ducks were rather smaller than those OF
the hens, yet they proved to be decided.
ly superior in nutritive material. SO that
the superiority in productiveness was
decidedly with the ducks. In regard
to the means or possibility of deciding
the sex Of eggs much difference of opin
4 ion exists. But NJ. Genin, in a commu
nication to the French Academy o
Sciences, says on this subject that he i
now able, after having investigated tn
matter carefully for several years, t.
state that all eggs containing the germ
of males have wrinkles on their smalle
end, while female eggs are smooth at tn
extremity.

In anticipating of the beginning OF ex-

the outer doors leading to the gaiiery
were choked with an eager throng, VINO
| had come to listen to the great advocate.
| MIR. Evarts began at five minutes past
eleven. amid brcathless silence. He said
that the duty of the advocate was one OF
extreme and absorbing solicitude. In
case of this kind one need fabulous pow
ers. One wishes hundred eyes TO see
the discordant elements, and separate
the dross from the gold of truth:
| In,the purlieus Of vice and crime only
was III q monstrous scandal believed. In
such an atmosphere morality was ,ost ana
wayward, and good and noble deeds never
entered there. In such circles the ohIis
} tian doctrine that Man was created
/ little lower than the angels" was not be-
lieved, but that man was an animal,
q brute. was the entertaining theory:
Mr.. Evarts cited the case OF wilkes,
S the profiigate of the time of George III
e and spoke of a meeting OF his friends
among whom was lady who strongly
defended Wilkes. After the defamer Of
Q Wilkes had been bafied at every pom pom!
he said: well, you must adm, adm,
a that he squints." Yes, but no mor'
3 than any man should" returned the lady
