the South and West are adding banks and
bank capital Boston. New York, Phila-

ST. Louis, taken together, have Ooly 3 more
National Banks than they had four years
sRo. but the Southern States l07 more and
the Western agricultural States have $50
more. The Southern States now have 343
National Banks, with a capital Of s6O,lO0,-
900, as against 236 banks with q cap
ital Of SlT,lO0OOO in 1850. The entire
country has 599 more National Banks
than it had in 1880. This growth Of bank
ing capital has almost wholly been in the
smaller cities and towns. The average
capital Of the new southern banks Is Sl25,-
900, showing that they are not in the main
located st commercial centres. The aver
age capital Of the new western banks IS

Up with the statement that while the eastern

a remarkable growth in that diree; on.

NEW PHASES OF LAGER.

Advantages Of Muned Beer Beer
stew a. an Article OF Food.
A show card in the window Of a Canal
street liquor store yesterday bore the words:
Burnt Beer"
What is it, the bartender was asked.
IN show YOU He drew a pint Of beer
in an earthen mug, and, carrying it 10 the
stove, picked up u bar Of iron, one end Of
which was glowing white among the Goals.
He plunged the hot iron into the beer and
stirred it around, while the beer Kissed aud
sputterei. The beer wa much more bitter
for the burning, but it was a pleasant bitter.
The English burn their ale, SAID thu
bartender. They call it mulled ale. Cider
is mulled sometimes. The aesthetic tastes
of my customers demanded a new drink
this winter and they have got it. 1t has
the advantage ofmaking their ewes snap in
half the time required by ordinary lager.
This reminds me ota queer dish | saw
the other day. An old acquaintance Of
mine was q lamp lighter. Last spring q
wound received during the war broke out
afresh and he was laid up. His wife deter
mined to learn cigar making to support her
self and husband. Around the lower end
Of Avenue A there are many Bohemian
cigar makers, who for $50 or so will teach
their trade to any one. So this woman sold
all her spare furniture, moved into n
room. and took the money she raised over
to Avenue A.
Every day while she was at work there
the Bohemians dined on one kind of food.
They seat out cans for beer Just before
Don These were placed on the stove and
then q quantity Of stale bread was broken
into them. The stuff was boiled up, and
the resulting stew was eaten heartily. They
told her it was q most nutritious as well as
economical article Of diet She tried it
several times, but could not force herself to
eat it. She likes beer, too. / don't think
that beer stew will ever become popular
here.

South, but they are now limited to the old
dotsrds of rebellion who yet hang on the
ragged edge Of Southern Seetionslism. and
the reckless, thieving politicians Of the
North, who appeal to sectional strife to es-
cape just responsibility for the most glSring

Fine Work on the Prairies.

So great has been the emigration to
the new Territories, that the Govern
ment at times has found difficulty in
surveying land fast enough. There are
now, for example, whole counties in
Dakota yet to be surveyed and laid out.
All this work Is under the general
charge Of the Surveyor General Of the
Government. The work 10 generally
given out by contract. 1t now costs
about eight hundred dollars to survey q
township and lay it out in sections Of
sir hundred and forty. acres each.
Stones. wooden posts, or mounds. as
the case may be, are employed to de-
sisnate the Section Divisions. together
with four '.Proving Holes"
There Is wonderful skill displayed by
those accustomed to the prairies. in
6nding these mounds and proving
holes. They readily detect them in
the long prairie grass, where the mex
perienced eye and foot fails to find
them. Your admiration is excited as
your prairie guide drives or walks right
up to these sectional marks, which you.
yourself. are unable to discover until
they are pointed out. The contractors
under the Surveyor General generally
perform their work In very satisfac-
tory manner. They are closely watch
ed and the landmarks are carefully
saved by the incoming settlers who
wish to keep then, preserved. In order
to avoid the expensive suits which are
so often had over farm boundaries in
both the new and older regions Of

Acting on his advice, the reporter
made his way to the ferries. On the
way he met two urchins playing tag,
each with piece of bread and molasses
in his hand. When near the ferry
landing, two women were seen per-
forming some wonderful evolutions,
which can hardly be classed under the
head of running, but were evidently
made with that motive.
