CITY AND COITNTEY $KKKS.
The crusado of the city uppn the coan
trj hagD one month reduced the circu
lation of the country banks nearly a mil
lion of dollar, and a a a consequence, ta
kon so much from the active business of
that Dart of the State, between Philadel-
J pbia and the Allegheny mountaics. Has
this done any good to the city! Has it
, bcncGtted a single Bauk or individual
there! We think not. It ha. however,
f
greatly injured the country, and in good
tirao it will injure tho city, for to our
mind, tho interests of city and country
are identical, while the mode of working
their interests aro often very different.
The city being the receptacle for all the
foreign goods that aro imported, is now
the creditor. Tho country depressed,
with its business prostrated, its crops de-
i Gcieut, its furnaces idle, it has no means
! of cettmz money from tho city, while it
is daily called upon for cash to meet the
demands of the city jobbers on the coun
, try storekeepers for pay incut of the goods
' purchised.
I Country banks were established to ac
commodate the country. Their custom
has been to lend their notes to the coun-
try htorekoeper.-', to buy their tall and
sprint stooks and thus enable them to
anticipate their sales to the farmers andj"1;0 lu tuul1 lul" lU0
mechanics, and iron manufacturers and ty Ickgraph.
coal diers and boatmen and laborers, TT-Z-; Z7 . ,
dependSt upon them for work. The TtaiptffLlog
country Banks cannot do so this year.- s ti journa, in thiaountryf coutainl
lheir deposits are nothing, because te particulars of the preparotions for the
there no surplus capital in the country, ffor the 0Iiam ioJ3hf of America.-
prevent the Batiks from doing any accom
modation business, aud in the end it will
operate injuriously on the city.
All banks niaku their profits from their
credits. The difference between the city
an-1 country banks is only iu form.
The country banks issue notes uplm
which their indebtedness is based. The
City Banks do their business on deposits,
which are tho accumulations from vari
ous individuals woo have idlo bonds,
which, for economy sake, they place in
H inks, and check out, as they are part
of discounts made by the banks to them
on couditiou that so much is never drawn
out, and forms a part of tho payment of
the note when due, by which process the
city bank is enabled to get around the
law, and reap double or treble interest.
This is the process by which the city
Bank give to their stockholders 12 and
sometimes 18 per ct. per annum. Hith
erto the City Banks have been content to
make all the profit they could, legally or
illegally, out of their deposits; but, now
when the country is depressed, and when
there is an accumulation of idle money
in the city, their avarice tempts them to
break down their country cousins in
hope of getting the profits in circulation
also. Like all grasping individuals, they
will, we doubt not, Tall into the pit dug
by themselves.
The Legislature mu?t look into the
matter. Or the country banks must re
deem their notes in the city; then tho city
banks and the city stockholders must be
compelled by law to be personally liable
for all tiicir deposits.
We all know that bank failures begin
first in the city. Previous to the great
revulsion in 1837, when the U. S. Bank
and all the banks in Philadelphia failed,
every country bank in Pennsylvania kept
its noteo at par in the city. The coun
try then was sound, but the city was
bankrupt, and every bank in it was rot
ten to the core. The crash came, and
j the result was that all tho surplus of the
; country bauks was locked up in the loss
es of the city banks, and which they re
covered only in years. After this came
the system of reedecming their notes at
home, by all the country banks who felt
stronjj enough to take care of themselves.
Last year, when tho storm caino again,
who fell first before its blast! The city
banks, and all who had trusted them,
again had their funds locked up.
The city banks have bad skill enough
to control tho legitlation of the State, so
far as to bo liable for their circulation on
ly to the amount of the stock held by each
individual, For their deposits they give!
no security, as an example oi tneir
trickery, look at the bank statements, and
you will see the Farmers' and Mechanics'
j Bunk with deposits to the amount of

The approaching fight to take place be
tween Morrissey and Hcenan for 2,i500
a side, on the 20th ult., is tho first
ireal battle for the championship ince the
meeting betweon Hyer and Sullivan in
1849. It, of course, creates an unusual
amount of excitement in the ''sporting'-"
world. Morrissey says he is in his twenty-eighth
year. He fights at about 180
pounds. flis frame is very wiry and
tuuSoular. He is a man of temperate
habits, and since he has been taking his
training exercises in the neighborhood of
Lansingburjr, he has enjoyed perfect
health. His trainers are Burns and
Shepherd, the latter an Englishman, re
cently arrived in this country, and tho
trainer of Tom Sayrcs, the present cham
pion of England.
Heenan rs a fine, fresh young fellow.
His weight is 14 stone, and bis height a
trifle over six feet two inches. He is in
his 24th year, and therefore, in point of
age, as well as in length of reach, ho has
the advantage over bis opponent. He is
under the care of James Cusick and Aa
ron Jones, tho celebrated opponent of
Tom Sayres. Heenan pay3 due atten
tion to his exercises, is in good trim, and
possesses an ample fund of confidence.
Morrissey, however, is the favorite in
betting. The fo.urth deposit of 500 a
side was staked on Monday, the 6th of
September. The last deposit of $500 a
side will be staked on the 1st of October,
being 85000 in tho hands of the stake
holders The betting is, wo learn, very
heavy. In fact, more money has been
already wagered in this fight than any
other that has ever taken place in the
United States.

sComets.
During the early part of last year, the
whole oivilized world was agitated by a
toolnu prediction that a comet was about
to appear, which would striko tho earth j
at a tangent, and knock it into the condi- j
tion of a tempest-struck hulk. Tho publio j
press of Europe and America presented j
i r i i. t
an immense spread of paper on the subject, i
and there was a convulsion time of it gen-
ally. THI year 1857 passed away, how- !
ever, without the expected wanderer of(
the skies making bis appearance; and as
tronomers and the public settled down in
to the dull routine of common reulari
tics, not anticipating any brilliant comet
for some time to come. We have all been
most agreeably disappointed. For somo
weeks past we have been enjoying night
ly one of the moat beautiful sights that
ever appeared in the Btarry dome.
On tho scoond of June last, an Italian
astronomer named Donati discovered the
present comet approaching slowly toward
the sun, in a northwesterly direction, and
it has been increasing in brightness as
all comets do as it draws nearer old Sol.
No fears are excited by its presonce, it is
gorgeous beyond language to describe,
and is beheld only with a thrill of admi
ration. Like a streaming torch of silve
ry light extending fifteen millions of miles
in length through the heavens, it bangs
evening after evening gracefully over the
northwest sky. Its head resembles a
ring, with a bright nucleus io the middle,
or something like an illuminated globe,
with its intense flame in the centre. The
diameter of this ring, as measured by
Prof. Mitchell, of Cincinnati, is 18,000
miles. It has been approaching the path
of our plannet, with the apparent inten
tion of giving us a friendly brush on the
date of this number of tho SCIENTIFIC
American, it will have attained to its
maximum brilliancy. It approaches the
sun with its tail flashing behind it, and
at a certain distance from the great-luminary,
it will suddenly turn round to tho
other side and back out of our planetary
system in a contrary direction to that by
which it entered. In 1843 a comet ap
peared far less pright than the present
one, but its tail was reconed to be 170
million miles in length.
When it wheel-
ed round the sun, it moved thraugh its
curved path with the velocity of the light
ning's flash. In two short hours its im
mense tail swept through a range of no
less than 3,740 millions of miles. From
the flight of objects on earth, it is impos
sible to form a comparative idea of the
awful velocities of comets and other hea
venly bodies.
Of the composition of comets, the most
learned are ignoraut. They must be com
posed of some matter more subtle than
anything with which we are acquainted
on earth. Stars are clearly visible through
the comets tail, and it possesses little, if.
any, gravity. J his is doduccd from a
large comet which appeared in 1799, and
got entangled among the satclites of Ju
piter. It was there arrested for several
weeks, yet its attractive foroe upon the
satellites was so limited as not to produce
tun aiiiiuiL-sL uuuub uuou lueir uioveincuiM. i
-r .... r . , I
In ancient times comets were believed
to be prognosticators of dire events. One
appeared when Julius Coasar was assas
sinated; another when Constantinople
was taken by the Turks; one during the
terrible persecutions in tho reign of
Charles the Fifth; and another in 1811,
when all Europe was deluged with war
and bloodshed; but no Intelligent person
has any superstitious dread of their pres-
ence in
this
ago.
From what is known
of the
insignificant effect of
the comet of
1799, it is reasonable
to infer that were
a comet to come in colliiion witu our plan
et, it would produoe no greater effect than
the blast of a bellows upon tbc Rocky
Mountains. Some men. however, of pro-
found acquirements, have expressed their
! . I. II .
Deuer mat our giooe at one period was
struck by a comet,and that in consequence
of such a collision it was made to rotato
on a different axis from that which it
once had. M. Arago, the eminent French
astronomer, however, denicd'tbat such a
result had ever taken place, and he foun
ded his deductions upon the fact, that the
earth now turned on a principal axis,
whereas bad it been so struck, it would
havo turned on a different axis, one .not
passing through tho poles of an oblate
spheriod. All tho planets revolve round
the sun in one direction, but comets en
ter our system in every direction, aud
completely baflle the reasoning of philos
ophers to account for their actions. It is
also unknown whether they are self-lumi
nous, or bhino with a borrowed lustre.
Sir Isaac Newton believed they were fee
ders to the sun, and that they supplied
that luminary with the matter, which ac
cording to his corpuscular theory of light,
the sun was continually projecting into
space.
Tho present comet is a stranger to the
living inhabitants of the earth; it may be
the samo as that which was: witnessed
, ages ago, when our painted progenitors
1 went forth to battle against the iron le
igions of Rome, but this is mere conjec
ture. It will soon depart from our vis
ion to wander once more through the vast
, solitudes of unknown space, never per
j hops, to vinit our aytem again. Who can
1 tell but it may yet become a wreok among
some of the steller constellations wbilo
sailing through the boundless ocean
of the
universe-! Scientific A.mcricant

named Jones who had quarrelled with
his parents and left home, and was wan

along, he was curled down between two
ties, and the engiueer did not see him till
almost on him. Jones then raided hi.s
head, but immediately let it down again,
with his neck on the ral, and the wheels
cut his head off as though it had been
done with an axe. The head was found
some twenty feet off the track, standing
on the severed neck, with the face toward
the road, and looking naturally, except
that it was very pale and the tongue out
about an inch. The body was horribly
mangled, it having been rolled over and
cut and bruised by the train. He bad been
cracking hazlenuts ou the rail, and as he
was out all the night before, it is possible
that he stopped there for that purpose,
and fell asleep, or he laid down there with

THE ENERGY OF A HUMANITA
RIAN. It was remarked of Pope Alexander
that he never did what he said, aud of his
son Borgia that he uever said what he did.
Professor Holioway, the great physician
and philanthropist, reverses both these
maxims. He docs what he says, and in
order that all the sick may kuow what his
remedies will accomplish, he tells them
through the press what they have already
done. This, it appears to us, is a course
that every friend of humanity must ap
prove. The physician who makes a grand
discovery in his art who in fact fath
oms the very sources of disease, and
draws from nature the means of its exter-
ruination-is morally bound to extend the
blessed boon to the utmost of his ability
So believiog, Professor Holioway has a
vailed himself of every channel of infor
mation and intercourse that could facili
itato the diffusion of his Pills and Oint
ment in all quarters of the globe. His
energy and enterprise, stimulated by a
noble desire to heal and save aud
strengthen the martyrs of disease in eve
ry laud, have carried these hygcian prep
arations over shore and sea to the ends of
the earth. There is no motive so power
ful in the heart of a geuuine philanthrop
ist, as the wish to ameliorate suffering,
and better tho condition of mankind.
