The savings banks of New Hampshire,
with aggregate deposits of $40, 091 ,596,
have over $40, 900, 900 loaned to farm
ers at the west and secured by mort
cages. These investments are scattered
through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Ne
braska, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota and
Dakota, and are in addition to loans on
city property in Chicago, st. Louis,
Minneapolis and st. Paul. The avers &c
rate of interest on the farm mortgages
is GO per cent; the depositors al home
receive 4 and AZ per cent. The New
Hampshire Bank Commissioners, hav-
ing examined these western investments
carefully. report that they are amply
secured, that the interest is invariably
paid when due, and that they have been
unable to discover any loss whatever to
the investing banks on account of their
principal or interest. Nevertheless,
the most conservative financiers question
the wisdom of locking up so great a pro-
portion of the assets of the New Hamp-
shire banks so far from home, when the
recovery of the money must depend in
some measure on the uncertain contin-
eency of crop successes. Hence the
commissioners have cautioned the in
situations under their charge against
a further extension ofthis line of invest

relieve the whole Kingly procession to
some extent, from utter -uselessness and
worse. 1t is not much, perhaps, that
he should visit the hospitals of plague
stricken Naples. Priests and doctors
do that in the course of their profess
sional duty, and would be cursed and
dispised as selfish cravens if they did
not, and royalty is a profession which
has its obligations as well as any other.
But the simple manliness of his
bearing, his frank sympathy, bring
ing hope and cheer into those
dreary abodes of misery, are not
professional, but personal qualities.
A correspondent says that in visiting
one Of the Naples hospitals the king
passed through the wards calmly, with
out haste, conversing with those who
were able to answer him, noting down
their requests and shaking hands with
many who could not speak. A cigar
was offere d him as a safeguard against
infection, but he smilingly declined it.

Bigamy is a crime very much more
common among men than among WON
en-, but, occasionally there is a female
bigamist with a long record of matrimo-
NAL experiences. A late trial in New
York has attracted a good deal of at
tention. A woman who now calls her
self Annie E. Whetmore, was arrested
some time ago for bigamy in marrying
a man named Halves, whom she was be-
ieved to know was alre ady married
Her trial lasted several days, and
though Halves turned states evidence
she was triumphantly acquitted. In
the our of the trial it came out that
the woman, who is not old by any
means, had at various times in her ca
reer and at various places compris-
ingabout half of the states of the Union,
been Mrs. Gentles. Mrs. Wallingford,
Mrs. Collier, Mrs. Tiffany, Mrs. Red
heffer, Mrs. Baukert, Mrs. Hooper,
Mrs. Peacock, and finally Mrs. Halves.
From all of these varied marital obliga.
tions, except the last, she had been
freed by divorce, usually applied fol
and obtained within a few months after
the ceremony of marriage. She always
managed to have a good case, and her
husbands do not appear to have thrown
any impediment in the way of her
fullest liberty.
