The comptroller of tho currency said, in
answer to Inquiries on tho subject, that the
statement Of the condition Of tho New York
banks, which was published on Saturday, did
not call for any action on his part inasmuch
as it was made mp from the averages of state
banks as we'll as national banks composing
the associated banks. The examiner, ho said
was keeping watchful eye on the situation
and had reported to him that tho national
banks are all in good condition, so far as he
knew. He added that tho Second National
bank was entirely solvent, according to the
report of the examiner. The comptroller
visited New York on Wednesday last and had
interviews with tho bank examiner and
receiver of the Marine National bank and the
United States district attorney.

FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY II, 1884.

CATCHING AN ALBATRo5S.-The men on
deck have just caught a fine large albatross.
measuring nine feet from tip to tip OF his
wings and three feet three inches from his
bill! 10 the tip Of his tall The doctors chic
reformed him by holding sponge wet with
the drug over his nostrils while another man
held bis bill shut That settled his accounts
very quickly. I'll tell you how we catch
these birds. We take piece OF pork and
bait il on q strong fish hook, with a cork a
short distance up the line TO float the pork
near the surface Of the water. Ali the bros
which follow ship are carnivorous, and
their bills are curved at the end somewhat
like an eagles, the upper one extending
over the under one so that they can take
their food. When the ship is not sailing too
fast we throw over the ba;ted hook aud the
birds 90 for il. The biggest, strongest bull
dozer Of the lot, Of course. gets the bait, OUT
he has aot time to swallow 1t. for the party
at the other end Of the line begins steady
pull. and the hook catches inside OF the
curve of the beak. The bird then begins 10
back water aud pull which only makes
things worse for him and affords fun for the
fisherman. If the bird could stop and tuink
u minute, be might fly forward, slack the
line and spit the bait out, but they DONE
do it; so they are hauled right in and
when dropped On deck the line Stacks and
the baited hook drops out of their mouth
On deck they flop about, scarcely able tc
stand on their feet and altogether unable tc
rise on their wing to fly. In few minutes
thew become seasick; in fact they act just like
other two-legged animals when they first
become acquainted with the deck Of I. shiE
at sea, though they do not take the pre-
caution to go to the lee rail for reilei.-C'f
