The National Banks.

The Philadelphia Ereaing Telegraph,
in commenting on the war that is being
waged in certain quarters against the
national bank system, gives the follow
ing suggestive statistics:
" During 1884 there were, through
out the country, l2l bank failures oil
these u only were national banks, %
were State banks, l were savings banks,
and II were private banks. The con-
trast with 1883 is notable, the total
number of failures OF these institutions
being only As; Of these Swere national,
5 State, 2 savings, and 30 private. A
suggestive feature Of the bank failures
Of 1884 is that over one half Of them, or
81, failed through speculation, and these
may again be divided into four classes.
OF the first, stock-broking bankers,
there were IS wrecks /; of the second,
or those which were broken by specu-
lating officers, there were 10; OF the
third. or those that failed through fayors
granted to specializing creditors. there
were g.; and of other speculative fail
ures there were 90"
The Telegraph then commends these
figures to the consideration Of the
appointment Democratic leaders in Con-
gress and leading Democratic newspa-
pers that are making ready to substi-
tute State or private banks for national
banks" and adds
1.-THE latter have maintained an adj
mirable position throughout the country
during the entire period of depression.
Those that failed in New York were
chiefly the direct or indirect victims Of
fraudulent practices on the part of their
officers; and if the Government cxami-
ner had made his investigation Of their
condition more rigorous they would not
have been wrecked. Here in this city
not national bank has failed since the
shrinkage in values began. and there is
probably not one of them which is not
as strong new, or stronger, than it was
in 1881"
The Telegrdph's facts and figures con-
stitutc an argument in favor of the ma
tional bank system that cannot well be
gotten over.

a Remarkable Mirage.

CORPUS Christi Texas Caller, Jan. 1ith.l
On Wednesday Of last week the at
mosphere was unusually clear, and the
sun shonc out from spotless sky. For
days before the weather had been foggy,
raining at intervals, but the day named
was one Of those enchanting days Of
winter weather experienced only on
this coast. On this day the most
remarkable mirage that has been
seen for long time was visible.
The land across the bay that ordinarily
is scarcely visible doomed up and ap-
peared but mile or so off, and houses
and smaller objects could be plainly
seen. The land of Mustang and St.
Joseph islands, twenty miles away, APP
peared like bluffs and hills. 1t is sell
dom visible in clear weather even from
the high bluff of Corpus. Above the
opposite shore across the bay appeared
counterpart suspended inverted in
the air. WindmillS were plainly to be
seen. and seemed to be in the back
country, undoubtedly those belong
ing TO the McCampbell pasture, sew
eral miles from the coast. A large
building with steeple was also noticed
suspended inverted in the air, and is
supposed to have been the reflection Of
the Baptist church which stands in the
heart of Rockport. There is no build
Ing like it on that side of the bay, and
if the surmse is correct, the object was
thus rendered visible to the people of
Corpus Christi twenty-five miles away.
1t is a phenomenon often seen on the
coast. but seldom so plain and marked.

lsan Essncisco CALI
Adolph Sutro has been quietly at
work for number Of years maturing
plan which will place him, IN the his
tory Of public bcncfactors in California
beside James Lick, whose generosity
founded the great observatory and
provided for public baths in this CITY,
and Leland Stanford, who intends to
carry out in California the project
which filed the life Of Ezra Cornell in
New York. Mr.. Sutro intends to es-
tablish a free public library aud to
erect handsome building, and when
all is complete to donate it to the city
for the public use. There are some lea
lures Of the library which Mr.. Sutro
intends to emphasize which will make
it different from the great Astor library
in New York city or the valuable col
lection of books in the Cooper Institute.
II is TO be library after the fashion Of
those in the German university towns,
such as Goettingcn, Heidelberg, and
Leipsic. These libraries are intended
chiefly for students and scholars. IL Is
the aim of such institutions TO have on
their shelves every work, ancient and
modern, on the leading subjects IN SCI
ence, philosophy, or literature.
In 1882 Mr.. Sutro started for Europe
ria Japan and China with the intention
of making q beginning. The 10000
volumes now arranged on the third floor
of lO7 Battery street is the result OF his
work abroad. While in Japan and
China. and later, while in India, Mr..
Sutro bought Oriental works Of great
value. Wherever he found a manuscript
or an old work or coin that threw light
upon the history or religion or
philosophy of the East he bought
it and had. it shipped to this
port. He ransacked Egypt, Jerusa-
lem, and Greece for old and rare works,
When he arrived in Western Europe he
employed agents to buy books in Mad
rid. London. Berlin, Munich, Vienna,
Leipsic. and Goettingen. His collection
of works purchased in Western Europe
consists of three kinds, which mark
three periods of book-making. First
are the old manuscripts second,
the incunabula, or books published
before the fifteenth century; and third,
the books issued from the press since
that time. Mr.. Sutro's idea was to col
lect the most ancient and valuable works
first, knowing that the editions of later
date that are still in market can be pur-
chased at any time. He has shelf after
shelf piled with old-fashioned bound
books in white vellum and printed in
Latin, with Examinations. Perhaps the
most complete and perfect section of the
library is that devoted to English his
tory and English literary development.
The location Of the library has been
a subject upon which Mr.. Sutro has
long pondered. He has now two places
in view-one at the Sutro Heights, over
looking the Pacific ocean, and the other
in Golden-Gate Park. if the city would
permit its location there, which, it is
needless to say, would be readily grant
ed. Mr.. Sutro intends to erect build
ing that will be an ornament to the city
and model of convenience for library
purposes.

Niagara Falls.

lIoi iht DieptbOusI
The advocates Of the scheme for the
purchase of Niagara Falls are still work.
ing hard at it, and vigorous effort
will be made this winter to secure in
the New York Legislature the passage
Of the bill by which the State of New
York will become the purchaser of the
property.
In ante-bellum days southern people
loved to 60 TO Niagara, and every
body that was anybody young ladies
just entering society, young men just
leaving college, not to mention bridal
couples-felt it incumbent upon them to
"yisit Niagara" before entering upon
the serious business of life.
Times have so changed for soathern
people, and Virginians, old and young,
are so generally occupied with the diff
cult problems of private affairs, that il
may not be commonly known in the
South that busy manufactures, with all
their unlovely accompaniments Of noisy
mills, tawdry-shops, and dismal tene-
lighthouses, have of late years been
rapidly growing up around the great
cataract.
The sordid spirit Of gain is utilizing
the magnificent water-power to such an
extent that there is danger Of the ap-
proach to natures glorious work being
spoiled by the surroundings, so that the
traveller from distant lands who comes
to visit this grand spectacle Of the Gre
ator's power turns away disguised with
the polluting touch of man.
The plan proposed is to purchase the
falls, with the adjacent property, and
convert it into public park, where all
can visit and enjoy the wondrous scene.

to him the other day:
:" | do not believe that Mr.. Cleveland

for himself; but there can be no earthly
doubt that rs between the wing of the

A Tribute 10 Southern Women.

A correspondent Of the Chicago Inter-
ocean, writing upon the Exposition, and
taking - Southern Woman for a text,
furnishes the following:
have been pleased and surprised by
the management and executive ability
of the southern women whom | have
met. The loss of heads of families and
of fortunes during and after the war
has developed a power that lay latent
in these women and brought out
some admirable characters. They
are quick to observe, well-poStcd on
public affairs, up in the literature
of the present, and whatever is usually
taught to women. and make good house
keepers on large scale. In social
qualifications they excel northern wO-
men on account of the ready warmth
and heartiness of the southern tempera-
ment. The conversation at table runs
from book to book. music to art, poll
tics to theology, carefully avoiding all
incendiary illusions. and to hear Of the
general attendance on scientific lee
lures one might easily believe oneself
i'm the Hub.

A Syracuse IN. w. special Of the
10Th says: The body Of Mrs. John r.
Walter was found at 4 o'clock this
morning hanging In shed Mt No. 40
Lilac street. Mrs. Walter had taken
off one Of her undcrgarments, torn it in
two, and attached the halter made from
it to rafter. The woman was I'M
doubtedly insane. Her curious hallu-
cination was shared by her daugh-
ter Ida, twenty-four years of age.
On Saturday Mrs. Walter, whose
husband Is respected German
citizen, and her daughter, told the
police that the husband and father was
trying to poison them. He had, they
said, put poison into their food, and
they were violently sick from eating it.
According to their story Mr.. Walter
had also put some poisonous drug upon
their clothing and bedding, and their
dresses and pillow-cascs were covered
with spots produced by the poison.
Their tale was received with incredulity,
and they then declared that Mr.. Walter
had disappeared up stairs the pre-
vious evening with a revolver and
mad not been seen since, and that
they were sure that he had CON-
mitted suicide. The police decided
not to act, as the women's physician
believed them deranged. They did not
return home, and Mr.. Walter instituted
a search for them. Late last night he
found them at the house Of George
Kramer. Both asserted that they were
being followed by three strange men,
and attempted to get out of the house.
Miss Walter was detained, but Mrs.
Walter escaped, crying murder :" as
she went. Her husband and Mr.. Kra-
mer searched for her all night, and dis
covered only her lifeless body. Mrs.
Walter has an insane sister in the
county poorhouse.
