NEW YORK CRY is congatulatins itself
over It's unqustioned pre.eminence in the
banking business OF tho country. The
New York World, in discussing the report
Of Controller Knox, says From his table
OF the private bankers in tho sixteen
principal cities in the Union, which com.
prises III private banking concerns, it ap-
pears that sos OF these are situated in this
ethyl New York also provides $4,000, 900
out Of the S5S,OOO,OOO Of capital represented
by the table. New York, in short, has
more banks aud represents q larger bank

Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Chi
cago aud St. Louis" This latter statement
as to "larScr banking capital" can only be
true, II true at oil, Of capital employed by
private bankers. The National bank capital
Of Boston is about the same as that Of New
York City. some fifteen millions in each
case, while the other cities named have
altogether more than thirty.6ye millions Of
National banking capital.

fen Gigantic Locomotives.

Ten iron giants from the Pennsylvania
railroad company will be built this sum
mer at Altoona. They viii be much
larger and more powerful than ordinary
passenger engines and are to be built for
the particular purpose of making up time
on portions of the road where there are
long stops. On the first run between
New York and Philadelphia, for IN
stance, the time allowed is so short that
when there are usual stops, letting off
and getting on passengers, the ordinary
engines cannot make it up. Hence n
monster locomotive, known on the road
as ''No. l0,' has been built as an expert
ment and tried on different trains to see
what can be done. The result has been
satisfactory, but there are many improve
ments that suggest themselves which will
be made in the building of the other
heavy engines that are to follow. In the
slang of the railroad yard, No 10 is
known as Long legged loco" This
comes from the big driving wheels she
rides upon, which stand six feet and six
inches above the rails, or higher than n
tall man with silk hat on. She has
two pairs of drivers forged for her by
Herr Krupp, the famous cannon maker
In this is supposed to have been the
| highest aim that can be sought in a loco
motivc---to pull the heaviest trains over
all grades against stiff winds and with
the least possible liability towards hot
| boxes or low steam on the quickest
schedule time, Her engineer says: "She
goes like bird and rides like rocking
chair" Ever since it has been running
this engine has been making mile in
fifty seconds on up grade with long
train in tow without getting heated,
She makes less than n mile minute and
"keeps cool" OF course there is great
consumption of fuel, In $50 miles ~,
900 pounds of coal are used up The
water tank contains 5000 gallons, 40C
more than usually carried. Everything
else is on a proportionately large scale

Esquimaux Duck.Spearlng.

The following paragraph occurs in
paper in the May ,Scribner, by Colonel
Glider, second officer of the Franklin
search party, entitled 'Among the Es-
quimauX with Schwatka;'
"A most novel and interesting method
of bird catching is practiccd during the
spring and early summer, while the ducks
and geese are molting and unable to fly.
The Esqumaux puts his hydc-that is,
his seal skin canoe--on his head like an
immense hat, and repairs to the big
lake, or the sea side, where he has seen
the helpless birds swimming and feeding
in the water. Here he launches his frail
bark, and when seated, which is not al
ways accomplished without ducking,
takes double-bladed oar in his hands,
and at once starts in pursuit of the game.
Before him on his hyac, where he can
seize it at the proper moment, lies his
duck-spear, together with the other inn
plemcnts of the chase. Cautiously APP
preaching the featherless flock, he some
times gets quite near before his presence
is observed; but even then, before he is
within striking distance, there is great
spIutterlng IN the water, as the band
scatters in every direction, vainly beating
the water with the curious-looking
stumps that soon will wear their plum
age and once more do duty as wings.
Some dive below the surface and come
up a great way off, and always just
where you are not looking for them; but
as the flock takes alarm, the hunter dash
es forward, feeling the necessity for
speed rather than for caution. He is
soon within fifteen or twenty feet OF the
struggling mass, and, seizing curious
looking spear with three barbs of une-
quail length, he poises it for moment in
the air, and then hurls it with unering
aim at the devoted bird, impaling it with
a sharpened iron or bone spike in the
[ centre of the barbs. The handle of the
spear is of wood, and floats on the sur
| face of the water, so that the hunter can
recover his weapon and the game at his
| leisure"

A Wonderful Lake in Iowa.

The greatest wonder in the State OF
Iowa, and perhaps in any other State, is
what is called the Walled Lake, in
Wright county, twelve miles north OF
the Dubuque and Pacific Railway, and
one hundred and fifty miles west of Du-
buque City.
The lake is two or three feet higher
than the earth's surface. In some
places the wall is ten feet high, fifteen
feet wide at the bottom, and five feet
wide on the top. Another fact is the
size of the stones used in the construc-
ton, the whole of them varying in weight
from three tons down to one hundred
pounds There is an abundance of stones
in Wright county, but surrounding the
lake, TO the extent OF five or ten miles,
there are none. No one can torn an
idea of the means employed to bring
| them to the spot or who constructed 1t.
Around the entire lake is belt OF
woodland half mile in length, com
posed of oak With this exception, the
country is a rolling prairie. The trees
must have been planted there at the time
of the building of the wall.
In the spring of the year 1856 there
was n great storm, and the ice on the
lake broke the wall in several placcs,and
the farmers in the vicinity were obliged
to repair the damages to prevent lnun-
dation. The lake occupies a ground sur
face of $500 acres; depth of water as
great us 20 feet.
The water is clear and cold, soil sandy
and loamy. 1t is singular that no one
has been able to ascertain where the
water comes from nor where it goes, YET
it is always clear and fresh,-Burting-

A Toad = OPy.

Yes" spoke up n soldier who had been
listening with approving silence to his
comrades recital of the habits of snakes,
"but even the toad knows how to defend
itself against the yoracity ofa rattlcsnalc.
\ rattlesnakc never bites anything it
swallows, and so it will cram toad
down its throat whole. | once saw Il
rattlesnake about six feet long trying to
capture a large toad, The toad adopted
n novel method to thwart the reptiles in
tentions. The snake had come upon
the toad unawares, and it could not turn
tail and jump,else the snake would spring
and catch it in his jaws. So the toad
took up n small stick, about six inches,
long, g,ho,ding itat the centre in its mouth.
The snakes mouth could not be distend-
ed to width of six inches and so, facing
the snake with the stick in his mouth,
the toad wearied its would-be destroyer
out of all patience, and finally he gave
up his efforts and crawled away. The
toad dropped the stick and hoped to a
safer retreat.

Sidney Smith, in one of the ablest OF
his essays, says:
II know of no principle which is of
more Importance TO fix in the habits OF
young people, than that of the most de-
termined resistance to the encroachments
of ridiculc. Give not up to the world,
nor to the ridicule with which the world
enforccs its domir ion over every tritling
question of manner and appearance.
Learn from the earliest days TO insure
your principles against the perils OF ridi
Guile. If you think it right to differ
from the times and to make stand for
any valuable point of morals, do it how
ever rustic, however antiqnated, how
ever pedantic it may appear; do it not
for insolence but seriously and grandly,
as man who wears a soul OF his own
in his bosom, and does not wait till it
shall be breathed into him by the breath
of fashion. Let men call you mean it
you know you are just; hypocliticai il
you are honestly religious; pusilanlmous
if you know you are firm. Resistance
soon converts unprincipled wit into sin
cere respect; and no after time can tear
from you those feelings which every
man carries within him who has made n
noble and successful execution in viz

Juvenile Smokers.

A British physician, observing the
large number of boys under fifteen years
of age ON the streets with cigars and
pipes in their mouths, was prompted to
examine the health of this class of
smokers, and for that purpose selected
thirty-eight boys between the ages of
nine and fifteen. lntwcnty-two of these
cases he found various disorders of the
circulation and digestion, palpitation Of
the heart, and more or less marked
taste for strong drink In twelve there
was frequent bleeding of the nose, and
twelve had slightulceration of the mouth
caused by tobacco. The doctor treated
them for their ailments, but with little
effect until the habit of smoking was
discontinued, when health and strength
were restored. The effect of tobacco in
creating n taste for drink is unquestiona-
bly, very great, If the testimony OF some
tobacco users and medical men is of any
weight, one of the most radical methods
of keeping the young from being led 10
incorporate drinking is TO deny them
the use of tobacco. - The .Sd3iitaridR.
