MORE BANKING CAPITAL.
Moneyed Men of Portland Stepping
to the Front to Provide for the
Wants of the City.
Standard.
The rapid increase in the popu
lation, wealth and business, of
Portland have created a demand
for better monetary facilities and
an increase of banking capital.
Though this city is one of the
"wealthiest in the country in pro
portion to its population, yet if the
money -is locked up in private
vaults or even private enterprises
it cannet ield the benefits derived
from the public and general circu
lations by banks. It lias been
felt for a long time that the present-amount
of capital plr.ced with
in easy access to the commercial
and mercantile interests of our
city is entirely inadequate. To
meet this deficiency we are glad
to know that a movement is on
foot looking to the establish
ment of a new commercial bank.
The lower story of the new block
now being constructed on Cttpt.
Ainswortlrs lot, corner of Third
and Oak street-, will be arranged
for the new bank. It is to be
ANOTIIKlt NATIONAL HANK,
And start with a capital of half a
million dollars, with the privilege
of increasing it to a million. It is
believed that there is sufficient lo
cal capital that will be put into
this important enterprise. And
rumor has it that the Portland Sav
ings Bank is to be the nucleus
around which this great enterprise
is to gather. If it shall be found
that local capital to a sufficient
amount cannot be induced to cm
bark in the proposed enterprise, a
San Francisco bank stands ready
to come in and supply the needed
want of our city by establishing a
branch here. We are informed
that the Portland Savings Bank
will move into the new part of
Henry Failing's Union Block, on
the Stark-Street side, as soon as
that structure shall be completed
This matter, however, is not fully
decided, and may depend upon
the movements of the Second Na
tional Bank, as above outlined. It
is gratifying to know that we have
men of wealth in our city who have
the wisdom to discern the wants of
business, and the energy and pluck
to carry out great public enter
prises. Wliv Not?

"What have 3011 got in the bas
ket?" asked the Inquisitive Person
on the L road platform.
"Snakes," replied the Tall
Stranger; "you'd better look out."
The Inquisitive Person stopped
poking the basket with his cane,
and inquired:
"What are 3'ou doing with a bas
ketful of snakes?"
"I am carrying them," said the
Tall Stranger, solemnly, "to a
man who has the Delirium Tre
mens." "But why?" asked the Inquisi
tive Person.
"A man who has the Delirium
Tremens," answered the Tall
Stranger, "generally sees snakes,
doesn't he?"
"Well, yes," assented the In
quisitive Person; "1 suppose he
does."
"How can he see :em, though,"
the Tall Stranger asked, "if there
aren't any snakes? And what
would Delirium Tremens be with
out snakes, I'd like t know?"
"But they don't always sec
snakes," objected the Inquisitive
Person.
"No," said the Tall Stranger,
"they sometimes see pink zebras;
but then there are no pink zebras
and if there were, I couldn't carry
them in a basket, could I?"
The Inquisitive Person had to
admit that that was so, and just
then the train came alonjr- '

the proposition was declined, with

"I feel,"' said the fat passenger,
as the train croswd tlie Ohio line,
"that I am in the land of states

the satt passenger, cawd we fight

sweat and shout for the privilege
of administering her finances. Oh,
America, America, what would a
country be without oftice?''
"It would be like a cat without
a voice," the man on the wood box
said.
"Or a cigar without a match,"
the cross passenger said.
"Or a room witliout a Iked," said
Endytnion, the sleepy passenger.
"Or a bar witliout whiskey,"
said the tall, thin jmsseuger, where
upon several voices immediately
asked what that was.
"After all," the Jester said.

with dirt covered knuckles and a
pocket full of marbles, "is it wick

"Yes, my son, and you must
never do it."
"Is it wicked when you lose all
the time?"
"Ves, just the same."
"Is it wicked if you win all the
time and play with a boy who says
his mother says if she had your
feet she'd never go out except
after dark?"
"I 1 g:o and wash vor hands
and get ready for supper!" was the
sharp reply, and the lad continued
to play for keeps.
There -was Coffee There.

A tramp was looking wistful'
into a coffee saloon on Galveston
avenue. He smacked his lips and
said: "1 wish 1 hae somd coffee !"
A kind-hearted gentleman reached
in his pocket, and taking out ten
cents, handed it to the unfortunate
man, saying: "Go and get some
cofTee, if you need it so bad."
The tramp took the money, but
instead of going into the coffee
saloon, he made a bee-line for a
bar-room. "Hello! Come back.

"Where ! Antoti Beclit. From
Vienna?
In 1849, one Anton Beclit, until then
a grocer, at Vienna, and at that time
aired 1)2 yours, of medium stature,
dark brown hair, and proportionate
features, disappeared from Vienna,
Austria, having previously intimated
an intention of going to North Ameri
ca. In the meanwhile he has fallen
heir to an estate of no trilling amount,
which is being controlled by the
authorities. On January 11th, 1852.
he wrote a letter fmni SpearsvilJe,
Wells Township, Fulton county, Pen
sylvania, to his father and brother at
Vienna, addressed: "Johann Becht,
in Wien, N. Ulrich, am Platzl, No.
;"!, Handhing zum Matrosen." The
following (translation) is quoted from
that letter: "On June 13, 1850, I
arrived at New Orleans, having been
G5 daj's on the sea; seven persons died
during the voyage. At New Orleans
I remained until December 14, wait
ing for Johauu BuchfeldT, who, how
ever, did not come. I have already
traveled all over America, without
finding any rest. Now, I am in east
ern Pennsylvania, with a German
farmer, whose family, however, is
English, who owns '100 acres of land
and a sawmill. I have learned board
cutting and agriculture. Here I am
living in a valley in the mountains,
healthy and content with no other
friend except merciful God, in whom
1 place my trust. 1 met two country
men, a Catholic clergyman, and an
other one from Gnndendorf from
Bosel's house; I believe his name is
Baunian." Then follows a hearty
farewell to his father, with an ap
peal for forjnvcnoss, atul as an
ending to this letter, he indulges
in the exclamation, characteristic
to his excited, llighty conditien:
"Long live the republic" All infor
mation thus far elicited confirms the
fact of thc wayward character of the
individual in question. According to
this information, Becht, in 1852, was
with one Jacob Olippinger, and later
with James Doyles, both in Fulton
county, Pennsylvania. Further clues
to his whereabouts are unreliable,
some leading to Europe, whilst the
majority, and the most probable lead
to the battle fields of the late rebellion.
Endeavors to ascertain where and in
what regiment he enlisted have thus
far been unsuccessful. The missing
man represented himself as a baker
by trade, and as having deserted from
the Austrian army, if still alive, he
would now be sixty-four years of age
and the inheritance due him would
undoubtly prove a boon in his old age.
hi case of his death, his next kin,
wife ur children, if any exist, are en
titled to the inheritance. All human
itarians, oflicials and authorities, par
ticularly the press of the United
States and soldiers of the late war, are
earnestly requested to assist in ascer
taining thc life or death of the said
Anton Beclit. Information addressed
to TitK ArrouiAN will le promptly
forwarded.
