From this statement it appears that
the banks in these twelve States, with
u population in 1880 of 1906, 106, held
$970,5S5,554 out of 1881. 3S0,S32 of
savings deposits in all the States Of the
Union on May 81, or very nearly
ninety-nine per cent. of the whole.
Assuming that the population was the
same in May, 1882, as in June, 1850,
which is near enough to the truth for
the purposes ofthe present calculation,
the deposits in the twelve States named
averaged very nearly $50 per head Of
population. The same average for all
the States would bring the aggregate
deposits up to the snug sum of 50, 1885,
100000 or about $1,1lO,000,000 more
than the total Understanding debt of
the United States.

''The green leaf of the come Spring. "--shdk.
Everybody recognizes spring, when 1t IS
once upon us, but many persons are not
familiar with the exact date of its appearance.
Webster, the world renowned photographer,
gives us definition, which may not be IN
appropriate here. "Spring," says he, lis
the season of the year when plants begin to
vegetate and rise; the vernal season, compre-
hending the months of March, April and May,
in the middle latitudes north of the equator"
Thompson, in his "Seasons," and Shakes
peare, in many of his works, have, perhaps,
no peers in describing it, and yet "ethereal
spring" is freighted with malaria, "that
insidious foe, lurking unseen'in the very air
we breathe" It spreads over the fairestpor-
tons of our land; brings death and disease
to thousands; cuts off scores upon scores OF
our children and youth, as we'll as those in
advanced life. A pestilence is regarded with
little less apprehension, and people every
where are asking, "What is it?" "Where
does 1t come from?" "What will cure it?"
KIDNEY WORT AS A SPRING MEDICINE.
When you begin to lose appetite;--have a
headache, a pain in your side. back and
shoulders;-to toss about at night in restless

mouth and furred tongue;-feel disinclined
to go about your work, heavy in body and

when your urine gets scanty or high colored;
TO suffer with constipation, diarrhoea or
indigestion;-have pasty, sallow face, dull
eyes, and blotched skin;-one or all Of
these common complaints will certainly be
evidences that your liver is disordered, torpid
or perhaps diseased. A bottle of Kidney
Wort is, under such circumstances, price,
less boon to such person.
Bare assertions of proprietors have come
to possess less force than they frequently
merit The cause of this condition of popu-
lar skepticism is, in the main, to be found in
the fact that charlatanism covers our broad
land. Meritorious articles are too frequently
FOUND in bad company.
| The proprietors of Kidney-Wort always

of their preparations. When we affirm,

in this article, the proof, too, belongs to and

The continued disappearance of the
sardines, once so abundant on the coast
of Brittany, has become serious Ca
lamity to the people of that part, where
the catching has been wont to give
employment to 1900 boats and more
than 5000 fishermen, while the curing
and packing for home consumption
and expectation have furnished liv-
ing to a very large number of male
and female hands. The reason of the
disappearance is believed to be the
great change of temperature during
the season, the weather having for the
last two or three years been not only
more valuable, but at times even dur
ing the summer months, comparatively
speaking, cold and stormy. These
changes it is believed have driven the
sardnes toward other coasts; and up
to the present time there is no token
of their temperance.
