no NEW CLEARING HOUSE AGENTS.

New Clearing House agents have not yet been Sc
cured by the Gansevoort and Colonial banks OF
New-York and the Union and Eighth Ward banks
Of Brooklyn which have heretofore cleared through
the Third National Bank. The Third National,
which Is in liquidation, will clear for these banks
until they make other arrangements. The expert
ence OF the Hamilton and the German American
be nks has demonstrated that it is possible 10 do
without n Clearing House agent These banks
have deposit accounts In New-York banks. They
deposit the checks they receive for collection In the
New-York banks and pay the checks drawn on
themselves with cash or with checks on the New
YORK banks Thus each bank saves the 500 which

REVERENCE FOR EDUCATION.
1.-The second characteristic Is a strong, almost
superstitious reverence for education. ! never
saw q Greek who did not cherish profound
generation for what he considered learning. 10
secure it for themselves and their children they
will endure any hardship and welcome any pri-
walton. 1t is true that the philosophers orators
poets, sculptors, architects OF the whole Chris
tian world still sit In reverent pupilage al 'he
feet of the early Greek sages. Nor can II De
demanded that Greece with her scanty, impoVer-
ished population should equal the literary pro-
ductons OF opulent contemporaneous Sta'e'
which boast from fifteen TO thrty-hve 1oid Dis

Greek writer's who reveal their ancestry ana
show themselves emuous Of their sres!
1T would be tedious 20 recount the names
of all the historians orators. phologists poets
and dramatists in which modern Greek iitera-
ture abounds Mr.. A. r. Rangabe. in his HIS
toire Litterare de la Greece Moderne, discusses
the merits OF SI1 modern Greek authors whose
works have been published. The principal COM
positions were in the fields Of history phildogy'
theology. philosophy. poetry and law. More
than fourscore writer's have attempted dramas.
The poetry OF the Greeks Is especially rich IN
popular songs Orators like the two Tricoupis
and Bishop Latas. historians like Pappariqo-
poulos and Philemon. poets like Orphanides'
Bernarthakis Alexandros. Byzzantios and Pa
raschos do not maintain a humble rank relative
10 their compeers of the West. In their pages
burns something Of that literary fire Greece
nurtured in her glorys prime.
THE NEW GREEKS IN CRISIS.
I'm great emergencies or solemn crises the
soul Of a people is fullest shown. Modern
Greece hurting herself upon Ottoman hosts, I'M
answerably demonstrates whether the new
Greeks are the old Greeks. and whether the
Grecian spirit survives. Olympus never looked
down on a spectacle more solemn than the war
which has been raging around its base.

rocky island is not only too familiar, but too mar

had been dismal flasco, that the Greek Govern

If the classic Greeks or any other people OF TWO
millions the world would in the same posi-
ton have done any better. He declared the
history of Greece in this century to be satire
on the generosity and justice OF the Great
Powers that King George was an intruder forced
on n people naturally republican, and that In
this last crisis the command of the Greek
armies was in the hands of another foreigner.
