Banks in JaDam.

a chart of the national banks recently
organized in Japan, upon system sim
liar to that OF the United States. The
first national bank in Japan was organ
lied In Toxic, on October !, 1873, and
there are now 1873 national banks in
the Empire, the 153d having been Or
ganizsd October rs, 1879, at Kiyoto.
The capital stock of these banks psgre-
gate 40, 256, 100 yens, and the notes il.
sued by them 80, ,7l2.4S0 yens, secured
by bonds having currency value of
33, 1925 yens.
Tho largest capital Of any one bank
ia that Of the Fifteenth National Bank
of Toxic, which is 1885, 100 yens ; the
smallest capital OF any bank is so 600
yens. Circulation Is issued at the rate
of so per centum Of the capital stock,
excepting in the case of the Fifteenth

special privilege, is allowed a larger
circulation. This now amounts to 49,

The Speaker anG sne South erm
MaIMNArA.

A great deal Of hostility Is manifes-
ted towards Speaker Randall by South
srn members on account OF the new
rule, which requires the work Of the
Commerce Committee to be submitted
to and subjected to the approval Of the
Appropriation committee before any ap-
preparation bill for rivers and harbors
can be referred to the house. 1t is
charged that Speaker Randall is the
author of this proposition, and the
Southern members say 1t is adopted by
tbs house that the South will stand a
very small chance of getting large ap-
propriations for internal improvements.
They say that Randall's recent opposi-
ton to the Texas Pacific Railroad bill
and his course now in regard to the
river and harbor improvements will
prevent the Southern people from ever
giving him any support ii he aspires to
the Presidential nomination at the
hands OF the Democratic party.

Cong reea.

The U. s. Senate was not in session
yesterday. In the House, a resolution
offered by Mr.. Whitthorne, of Tennes-
see, was adopted, asking the Secretary
Of the Navy for information as to the
rules prescribed for the guidance of
naval vessels at sea, and the measures
which should be taken to establish a
system Of rules which should apply to
all vessels, naval and merchant. Bills
were introduced by Mr.. Hayes, of Illi-

Her Lands.

snhhs y survey hhE operations ON
Her Lands.
The Petersburg (Va.) "Index-Ap-
peal" in recent issue says: Major
General G. K. Warren, formerly com
manding the Sixth Corps of the Army
OF the Potomac, unacquainted.. by Cap
tain Gotten, also of the United States
Army, recently visited the battlefield
OF Five Forks, Dinwiddle county, the
scene of one of the last battles around
Petersburg. The object of their visit
was to make a survey and plat of the
held, and the positions of the contend
ing armies, to be used in the court of
inquiry before which Gen. Warren is
having an investigation as to his
promptness ia moving to the fight.
In order to get the exact date and a
complete situation Of affairs, it became
necessary for Captain Gotten to run a
line Of survey through the premises of
gentleman living in the vicinity
which line was just outside of the
yard OF the residence-between it and
the orchard. The owner of the prop
erty, happened to be away from home
at the time, and his wife was a custo-
dian OF the manor. She discovered
that something unusual was going on,
as to the nature of which she had not
been informed and about which her
permission, II seemed, had not been
asked. Imagining that tresspass was
being committed, she bravely went
out TO the spot armed with a double
barrelled gun, and ordered the engi-
neer and his assistants away. Captain
Cotton, who, by the way, is a genial
and courteous gentleman, undertook
to explain his presence there and the
object he wished to accomplish; but
the lady declined to accept his expla-
nation, declaring in positive and de-
termiped manner that she did not
intend to have the farm parcelled out
into $40 acre" lots. The Captain hes
itated, hoping to be able to make his
presence and his motives understood,
but he was again ordered to leave
and that immediately-with an init
nation from the lady that, though she
was not in the last war, she would be
in this If he did not move forthwith.
The Captain quickly perceived that it
would be wise in him to go, and he
retired with the best grace possible
under the circum.stances. Subsequent.
~ however the object Of the visit of
the ofic@rs was explained to the lady
py some of the neigheors, and the
elryey was allowed to proceed. The
mlsapprehension under which the lady
labored was a very natural one, and
she manifested remarkable courage and
decision under the circumstances. Our
opinion is more than ever confirmed
that the Southern ladies are not only
The fairest and gentlest, but the bravest
IN the world.

Daring Robbery,

Lancaster, via Reading, Pa, Jan. o.
Last night eight masked robbers enter
cd the residence Of Jacob Mishlsy, q
miller, aged 60 years, at the Conestoga
creek, on the line between Lancaster
and Dauphin counties, about five miles
from this city, and demanded his money
or life. Mr.. Mishley gave them one
hundred and fifty dollars, all he had in
the house. The robbers received this
with loud cheers and thanked him for
his kindness. After this they went
through every room in the house and
ransacked all the drawers, and when
they left they struck the old man on
the head with olub and left him in
an unconscious condition. He was
found this morning by neighbor, and
medical aid was summoned. There is
no cine to the ruffians yet.

reached 3,2O3, ,237 francs, an increase of
one million francs over November. The
total exports from Lyons district for

OOo,O francs, which was the total

train which left the Union depot for
Washington, at three o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Both engines we're badly
damaged and the engine of the express
train was forced back into the postal
car, but only few OF the. train men
were slightly bruised. The collision
took place at point where the double
track through the city merges into
single track. The south bound train
should have waited on the double track
until the limited express passed, but
1t ran on the single track about one
hundred yards, and was run into before
1t could back. The engineer says the
air breaks would not work. The track

forty members of the Guards, twenty
Ave of whom were fully equipped, and
the bright uniforms and soldierly
bearing of the young men, together
with the handsome dresses and hand
