The foregoing Statement of Accounts shows that there has been no
falling off in the business of he Bank as compared with the corresponding
period of 1882, but the Directors, having as usual provided for all Bad and
Doubtful debts up to the present time, and there having been several fail
ues recently, both in HE West Indies and in this country, have deducted
from the Profits a sum sufficient to provide for all probable losses on these
accounts. Consequently the Net Profits to 3lt December last are much
reduced, and only permit the declaration of a Dividend of 6 per cent. for
the Halfyear, leaving the Reserve Fund intact at &117,OOO.
The Directors deeply regret that the transactions of the Bank with
the firm Of =. ". Thomas, Sons & Co. have resulted in loss, these had ex-
tended over a period of many years, during which they had been satsfacto
~. At he time Of the failure, the Bank had a considerable sum on Loan
with them covered by Securities, Tmt OF which have been realised, but
some are the subject OF litigation. In the meanwhile, the Directors have
the satisfaction Of assuring the Proprietors that ample provision has been
made for all loss on this account.
The Reports received from the Branches during the current Half
year, show that the business is well maintained, but i'll view Of the eXtreme
depression in the Produce Markets, the Directors have instructed their
Managers to exercise great caution.

Nfe and Work.

IT. hear Z good deal about the rapid
decay OF human faculties in this country,
as if there was something in our climate
unfavorable to mental and bodily vigor in
old men and women; and in contrast with
this we hear good deal about great age
to which people in Europe maintain their
physical and mental efficiency. But only
one-half the truth is told. A man will
accomplish twice as much in an average
lifetime, in this country, as any where in
the Old Woodland this is true of man
in all positions, the lawyer In his office,
the physician in his chaise, the machanic
In his shop and the operative in the
mill. An American nottingham who
recently returned to Pittsburg from a
visit to England expressed his surprise
at the comparatively small amount of work
done by laborers in that country. They
move slowly and leisurely, they take their
time about everything and seem never in
hurrv-all in striking contrast with the
fierce, unsparing yehemencc with which
men pursue their vocations In this coCn-
try. There is no doubt that Americans
overdo themselves. They accomplish as
much inside of fifty wears of age as Euro
If life were measured by the amount of
work done, our people are the longest
lived in the world One reason for this
is the immense amount of work to be
done in this country, and the compare
lively small number of skilled persons to
do it. Another reason is the American
aversion to idleness. Even our wealth v
men die in harness not so much because
they covet more wealth as that they re-
quire the excitement of getting it. The

DEMOCRATIC JUDICIAL CONVENTION.
Marion County Snubs a Hendricks County
Candidate and Endorses the Greenbacker.

The Democratic judicial convention for this
district met at o'clock yesterday afternoon, in
the Circuit Court room with about one-haf Of
the delegates present Mr. Lee Barnett, of
Hendricks, was made permanent chairman.
Immediately on the call of the roll of delegates,
and before there had been any call for nomina-
tons, Mr.. Israel Klingensmth, of Marion, offered
a resolution indorsing the nomination of Mr.. K.
W. Medkirk, the Greenback candidate. Here
the music began. Mr.. Hopkins of Danville,
said the resolution was unfair, and he opposed
such gag and closed by saying that Hendricks
county had candidate in the person of MIR,
Wilson. George Kuhn, of Marion, moved to lay
the resolution on the table. Leon Bailey
jumped up and moved the adoption of Mr.. King
ensmiths resolution. Kuhn stood his ground,
as he was not a delegate. Bailey replied
that he had a proxy. The motion of
Kuhn was voted on, and when Hen
bricks was reached Bailey moved that
she vote by townships; and since there were but
three of her delegates present, this was very
sharp practice. The motion to lay on the table
was lost So the chair. without calling for a
ballot put the resolution and it carried, though
there was some difficulty in determining which
had the most votes Medkirk was called on,
and after him Mr. Wilson, who said he did not
know why he was called for; that the chair did
not recognize any one in his interest He failed
to give any comfort to the schemers Afterward
he said that Marion always had snubbed Hen
bricks, and that if any Democrats in Hendricks
voted for Medkifk they were no friends of his.
He would not bottle his wrath, and proposed
never TO submit to the freezeout game. All
Hendricks county delegates agreed with him in
this, and large number from Marion county
also refused to come under the yoke of the
gang. 1t was the most shameless and brazen
game of dicker and freeze-out played here in
many day.
