Losses or Na,fonnI snuk..

The comptroller of the currency has CON-
piled dividend reports of national banks for
the six months ending March L, 1878, from
which it appears the banks charged off losses
during that time amounting TO $40, 903 l45.
OF this amount 81, 9l3, 75T consisted OF pre-
miums on United States bonds held for cir
culati0n, which deprecated in value below
the cost price to the banks. The losses
charged off BY the national banks during
the year ending September /, 1876, were
$40, 7l9 026. and for the year ending Septem-
Der L, 1877, 1898 5S7, making a total of
more then $50 SOC, 900 of losses charged off
during the past two and half years. The
ratio of earnings of national banks to their
capital and surplus for the year 1877 was
81 per cent, and il is estimated the ratio
for the year 1878 will not be greater than
Tor the preceding year. The comptroller
has also compiled complete dividend returns
from national banks in 10 principal munich
pal cities for the year ending September 1.
1878, from which it appears that Sll $50, l29
OF the losses has been charged off by banks
located in those cities during the present
year, of which 81 500 96S was for depreciation
in the premium in United States bonds held
by the banks as security for circulation. The
total losses charged off by banks located in
these 16 cities during three years, ending
September l, 1878, was $50, 4l0964. The
losses charged off by the banks in New York
city during the past year were $5.147, 3l9;

PRAYING FOR RADlCALISM
MAsSACHUSErrS.

The radical party having outraged every
principle of justice, having dethroned truth
and enthroned fraud and perjury as a means
of party success, is now, in the most bias
phemous and ridiculous manner, making a
show of devoutness by asking the Almighty
to take part in Massachusetts, politics by
helping the radical party to beat Ben Butler.
At the radical convention held at Worcester
some time since the Rev. p. Kendig got of
petition ostensIbly to Diety, but really a
stump speech to the radicals present. This
man Kendig evidently thought his prayer a
bold stroke OF policy. and that he could i'm
press upon the minds of the people that he
could interest Jehovah In the partisan poll

AMONG the drug exhibits at the Paris ex-
position Is that OF China, and queer collec-
ton IL is, and scarcely can sample of its
strangeness be given. Some of the med
icines are for specific diseases, while others
are as emnipotent as any Yankee patent
medicine ever concocted. For instance oc-
cupying a conspicuous place is box con-
tanning the larvae of grssshoppers, dried and
roasted This powder is for headache.
Whata godsend such remedy would be to
the farmers of Kansas a summer or two ago.
Dried fowls gizzards, for indigestion, are
much used. The inside of stag's horn for
rheumatism and bronchitis. A glutinous
decoction of donkey skins for coughs and
lung diseases; the strength of the bray

Faint Praise OF Hayes.
New York SUM-

An old horse jockey was famous for his
wonderful resources at finding something to
praise, extravagantly, in every horse that
came into his possession. He was never
stsggard but once. A company having gath
cred about his stable door he ordered horse
that he had traded for the day before to be
led out. The groom bad hard work to get
him through the door Horses are subject TO
many ailments This one seemed to possess
them all. He was spawned ring boned, blind
and had the heales. AS he at length lum-
bered over the door sill the spectators lis
tened, with intensified curiosity, to learn
what on earth could be said in commenda-
ton of such beast. ''Hasn'l he got a fine
flag taIl?'' triumphantly asked the owner. III
this noted horseman had been living he
would have been just the man to write the
resolution tor the Massachusetts, republican
stale convention touching the adminlstra-
ton of Mr.. Hayes. Those who have come
after him have tried their hand in this Hue
with but Indifferent success. 1--WE cordially
commend the purposes of his administration. )"
they say. That is not half as good as q fine
flag TAIL Considering that Massachusetts is
largely ruled by the Hosrs, who are first
cousins of the distinguished secretary OF
state. one would suppose a resolution COM
mending the acts of the administration
might have been squeezed through. Poor
Hayesi To occupy the office without being
president is contemplate position, after all.

suicide of a seven Year Old Boy.

A most astounding case of self-destruction,
the victim of which was a mere child, almost
a babe in years, has just occurred in this
city. Little Henry Kippits, seven years Of
age. who lived at 50 Martin street, because
his mother refused him something he asked
her. left bis home, and bidding his sister
good by, walked down TO the river, undressed
himself AMI jumped in. ending his childish
troubles and his young life al the same time.
The circumstances are these: On Monday
afternoon little Henry came home from
school, and &c usual went TO his mother for
his afternoon slice % bread and butter. His
mother gave hlm piece OF bread on which
there was no butter, but he refused to take
il. She told him she would not give him
any butter on his bread, whereupon he laid
il down and left the house. On the way out
he met his sister and bid her good-by, telling
her she would never see him again, which
was the last seen of him by any of the FAM
lily. His clothes were found yesterday on
the river bank back of Goodhues stone yard,
near the Little Miami depot, and the gen.
orally accepted theory is that be went down
to the river, and undressing, jumped in and
was drowned. His body has not been re-
covered as yet.

THE DAIRY BUSINESS.

We are satisfied that the day is not distant
when the farmers of Indiana will take a
deeper interest in the dairy business, and
instead of being state famous for mean
butter and equally Objectionable cheese,
these products will be equal in all regards to
those of other states which now derive i'm
mense revenues from the sale, at home and
abroad. The great international dairy fair
is to be held In the city of New York in
products may be expected. Few persons"
says the New York Journal of Commerce,
not in the business have any idea of its
extent Butter and cheese together form
the third in importance of the domestic
products of the United States. New York
is the greatest market for butter and cheese
lin the world. Nowhere else is so much
capital invested in that line. The fast in
'creasing American export trade in cheese
is nearly all done from New York. For
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1877, the to-
tai value of cheese exported from the
United States was $12 100 i5, of which
'S12 1873, 1893 went from this city. The guam
'tity shipped from New York was 105, 251, 661
pounds. Between January and Septem-
der 10 of the present year the amount of
cheese exported from New York was 1922
'5ss. 693 pounds, against s1,005, 416 for the
corresponding period of 1877. A remark
able gain is there shown. The increase In
butter exports is not so striking. These,
from New York, amounted to 5000, 234

Or to the first day of July, 1878, the con-
traction policy of the radical party has cost
the state of Indiana about $26. 900, 900 III re-
corded liabilities of failures. Since the first
of July several millions have been added, so
that when the next statement is made the
amount will doubtless be about $50, 100000
