Another Savings Bank Collapse.

Another savings bank has 'sgone by the
board" The Bond street institution closed
its doors yesterday, and its statement proves
that its affairs have not been wound up any
too soon. "a surplus of over one hundred
thousand dollars is shown upon paper, but
when the assets are examined it is evident
that no such result will be realized on the
final settlement. With little over one
million of deposits the bank had a building
which is scheduled at nearly quarter of q
million, and other real estate estimated at
over one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars. The stoppage of the bank appears to
have been caused by an injunction issued
by judge of the Supreme Court, and it is
to be hoped that by the same process a num-
Der of these banks will be closed. The
Bank Superintendent evidently is incom-
petent to perform his duties, OF is deferred
from SO doing by undue influences. His
action in the case of the Third Avenue
Savings Bank and other swindling institu-
tions could only be explained on the score
of incapacity or dishonesty, and ought to
have been promptly followed by his re-
moval from Office. But the Governor has
left him in power, to the hazard Of all de-
positors in savings institutions in the city
of New York. After all the Governor is to
blame for the misfortunes that follow the
failure of these banks. 1t was his duty to
remove the present Bank Superintendent
months ago. and his neglect of that duty is
likely to bring ruin to thousands Of small

War over the Eastern question is, there
fore, to be contemplated as one of the possi-
not seem imminent just now. Indeed. there
is state of truce made more by the conditions
of the weather than by the will of the parties
to the conflict; and there is no likelihood
that even upon the expiration of that truce
hostilities will be resumed this year. But it
has always been difficult to please the many
parties that must be pleased before this case
can be settled by treaty, and it is not less
difficult now. And the issue of the truce may
only see the winter filed with the movement
of armies preparatory to tremendous opera
tions when the SHOWS are melted next year.
How will war in Europe affect America?
AS the conditions of the contest now stand
our sympathy would be altogether with Rus
sia. The Turk has no business in Europe
1t is disgrace to the English name that
he should be permitted to oppress and
destroy Christian communities under the
protection of English guns. There can
be no war, however, that will not be bene-
fit to America. 1t would bring back to our
flag the commerce we have lost 1t would
reopen the channels of emigration. Itwould
strengthen every form of our trade and
industry. 1t would enable us to gain all
that we lost during our own four years of
lamentable war; We, of course, should not
be guilty Of wishing tor war as o material
advantage to ourselves. We trust that
peace will be preserved, and the material
greatness which would come by the desola-
tion of provinces and the strife of communi-
ties is not desired by any American. The
Eastern question must be settled some time
or other and in q contest between the Rus
sian and the Turk the Russian must win.
England only burdens herself and alienates
the sympathies of the Christian people
throughout Europe by being the ally and
protector of barbarism.

The PLANET VULoAN.-The existence Of,
this planet, the nearest to the sun of which,
we have any knowledge, has been doubted.
It is usually invisible in the suns light, and
has been seen at such long intervals that
many astronomers thought the discovery q
mistake. But a special cable despatch to|
the HERALD says the famous French
astronomer Leverrier asserts that the
transit of Vulcan over the face Of
the sun will be visible on the I'd or Sd Of
October. AS American observations are nec-'
essary for purposes of comparison our as
tronomers will undoubtedly make all prepa-
rations. Of all who have lived on the earth
it is probable that not half dozen men
have ever seen this mysterious planet that
hides itself in light, yet was found by those
laws of pure mathematics by which the as
tronomer discovers facts of the solar system
which would otherwise remain forever un-
known.

claim the restitution of their property, in
trigues, religious and political, are nu-
merous. Isabella has presented portraits of
herself and her children to the generals of

is impossible to imagine. Many of them
would prefer pictures more attractive. Spain
is not in an encouraging condition; but
what progress or peace can be expected of
country governed by two women and boy? !?

opment of Slavic sympathy. Those who
remember the sudden changes of pub
lie opinion which took place in this
country on the slavery question in
1850 and 1861 will realize what is now taking
place in Russia. Then the North was swept
by q torrent of patriotic fury, which drove
the reluctant Lincoln into war for the
preservation of the Union. Public opinion
in Russia is rapidly passing beyond the con-
troll of the government. While the Gar and
his Cabinet look upon affairs with the calm,
practised eye of statesmen, the people only
know that fellow Christians are butchered
by Moslem that men and women and ten
der children are abandoned to the mercies
Of mountain sayages, and that their only
crime is that they have sympathized with
the religion which finds in the Russian Gear
its supreme earthly type. The question,
therefore, so far as Russia is concerned, is
not what does the Car propose to do, but
what will the people compel him to do. We
see how an intelligent, prudent, matter-of-
fact people like the Americans gave
way TO patriotic anger which made its
President and all those in authority simply
an expression of their warlike will. The
Russians are more emotional, more excit-
able they have, what the Americans did not
have, an intense religious feeling in the
present cause. It therefore would not

FARMERS should be on their guard.
A new dodge of swindling has been
put in operation. Several strange men
drive through an agricultural district.
They stop at all the farm houses and
make contract to take all the butter
the farm can furnish at fifty cents a
pound. Further it will be gathered up
by fast, special teams, and the cash
paid FOR it at the door The pretense
is that during the fall and winter, the
large cities will be overcrowded. and
that butter will be scarce In this
way all the farmers i'm a district are
contracted with, and arrangements are
made to come tor their butter on Ger.

contract to 90 into effect in two weeks.
A few days after the departure Of the
men a drove of cows come along.
They are fine looking mich cows.
The farmers having good thing in
view, think ohey might use few more
COWS. They try to buy them, and the
drover doesn't seem to be anxious to
sell. Finally, however, he is induced
to sell two or three to each farmer at
prices considerably higher than the
real market value He then departs,
meets his partners who put up the

MEASURING Corn IN BULK.-Multi
ply the length, width, and height to-
gether by inches, and divide the pro-
duct by 3,SSS. This will give the

that is twenty feet long. four feet
wide, and eight feet high, holds 5S4
40 bushels. And such crib is 24O
inches long, AS inches wide and 96
inches high, containing 1,lO5. .92O
inches. Divide that by 3,SSS, and it
will give 2S4 40 bushels.
Again, if your wagon bed is I feet

FIR UT as A MEDICINE.

The irregular eating of unripe fruit
well-known to be unwholesome
The regular and moderate use of well
ripened fruit is not so widely apprecia-
ted as contributing to health. Resi-
dents in regions where more or |, ss
malaria prevails, have discovered that
nothing is more sure preventive of
its deleterious effects than a regular
supply of fruit. A case is well known
to us, where man with family re-
moved to the West He had provided
large quantities of welLdried fruit, and
this was used regularly during the first
summer. Although suffering many
privations and exposures to hartlships,
this family escaped the prevailing
epidemIcs The second year the sup
ply of fruit being exhausted, the added
comforts which they had secured did
not protect them from disease. Many
other similar eases have occurred. 1t
should therefore be made special
object with all about to remove to
newly settled regions, and in fact to
any other localities, to take with them
or make provisions for the immediate
planting of an ample supply of early
bearing fruit plants and trees, such as
straw berries, currants, grapes, rasp
berries, dwarf apples and pears, and
the well-known early bearers among
larger sorts, such as Bartlett pear,
Early strawberry, Baldwin and Por-
ter apples, and many other sorts which
will give crops while yet small.

disease, but in some instances it has
proved one of the best medicines to
cure it. Many years ago chronic
cough which had excited a good deal
of uneasiness, was cured by daily eat
ing ripe raspberries, recommended by
n medical writer of high authority as
an excellent expectorant, Severe
colds are more apt to occur on the
first cool and damp days of autumn,
than at other seasons. We have often
cured these diseases on their first at
tack, by eating copiously of ripe
watermelons The beneficial effects
of drinking freely of cold water on
such occasions, are well-known. Wa
termelons supply larger quantity
than one could easily swallow in any
other way. We have not found these
or the raspberry expectorant an un-
pleasant medicine to take When
visiting recently the Centennial
grounds at Philadelphia, We had taken
"a bad cold" Knowing that manv
bad been made sick by drinking the
bad water at that place, we resolved to
secure both benefit and pleasure by
using ripe watermelons instead, which
happened to be abundant atthat time.
Their copious use performed sur
prisingly rapid cure, with an escape
from all the bad effects of the water.
But it must be remembered that the
common moderate eating will not an
swer tie desired purpose; nothing but
"heroic" consumption of this fruit will :
effect q promp; cure.
We mention these various facts as
an additional inducement for the
planting Of fruit trees and plants, in
addition to the claim of comfort and
the luxury of constant succession of
fruit through the year, as we'll as it's
important contribution to economy by
reducing the expenses of the table
