D1s- An underground counterteiter'S den mas oeeh
discovered in Brighton, Mass, in the vicinity Of the
bridge crossing. Mr.. Howard, the occupant of the
80 ,,,dor which tbeden was discovered, was at
work in his cellar, and the earth partially giving
-,,r bronbt to Iieht room of some twelve feet in
dantb with plsnk sides and top. The roof was
b,nt fonr f5t below the surface, and the room was
.,,torod bya trap-door and a pair of steps. MIR.
Ho,,,au5 was enabled, by partial breaking way OF
the Ganking, to hook out several kegs from the
nm. one of which was about half full of counter
sjt American half dollars all of the date of 1888
Attached to the keg was what is supposed to have
been machine for polishing the coin. A sack, in
which to deposite tools, was also got out. The
house, nearly century old, has long had the repu-
tation, no doubt purposey produced by the counter
felt ers, of being haunted.

A LION IN PARis.-The Paris correspondent OF
the New York Commercial Advertiser gives the
following amusing account of a former cOntrere OF
the American press:
NJ GailIardet, formerly of the Courier des Et7tg
Unis is quite lion here not only from his personal
qualities but from the astonishing fact that he made
fortune by a newspaper in New York. 1here Is
no end 70 the exaggeratiOns both OF the amount Oh
the fortune and the time he employed In making
il. One saws he was in New York five years and
brought OF eight hundred thousand francs, another
four and nine hundred thousand, another SIX ana
seven hundred thousand, and another three yed IN
and million the orthodox version is thought to be
six wears and six hundred thousand, which makes
twenty thousand dollars year clear money Al
the theatre of the Porte st. Martin, the other eve
ming, says the Char,vari, pale thin gentleman N
one of the side boxes was the object Of universal
attention. All the glasses III the house were III
rected at him The play the stage was neglecIgSq
On inquiry the Charivari discovered that 1t was NJ
Gaillardet, the man who had made heap OF money
by editing a newspaper in New York.

FORTUNE FAvoRs THE BRAvE.-A military of-
GER with whom we have long been intimate, relates
two incidents connected with Croghans gallant
defence of Fort Stevenson, one OF which a1oras
strong positive, the other still stronger negative
proof of the above quoted adage.
As the British and the Indians In their previous
military operatiOns had violated their pledge ana
the usages of civilized warfare, by numbering theL
prisoners, the members of Croghans little pah1
(onIy 100 strong, with single sx-pounder, anu
surrounded by about 600 British troops and twice
the number of Indians) had mutually agreed to
stand their ground to the last and sell their Ves as
dearly as possible. When all this was ready, the
British Commander sent messenger under nag
of truce TO treat for the surrender OF the tor Cro
CHAN, pointing at him as he approached, eXclalieu'
" 1t will not do to let him enter here and see our
weakness: who will volunteer to meet him Z, AS
it pretty certain whoever should leave the tort
on such mission, would be murdered by the das-
tard foe, there was brief pause; when Ensign
| Ship replied, 81 will, upon one condition
| what is that - asked the captain. Pledge me
| your word, as an officer and man of honor that
Won will keep that gun bearing directly upon me,
and that YOU will fire it off the instant you see me
| raise nv hand" The pledge was given, and Ship
went forth To all the arguments and persuaslons
| of the envoy, his unvarying reply was, am IN
structed to say that we defend the fort. Soon the
Indians began 10 surround him; one clutched his
| epaulette and another his sword. ShIpp, who was
! man of Hercuean frame, released himself by a
powerful effort, and turning to the envoy, eOolly,
said, Sir have put myself under the protecnoil
fyOur flag of truce without knowing your mode OF
warfare. You see that gun" said he, pointing. to
their solitary sx-pounder; " 1t is well charged with
grape, and | have the solemn pledge OF my com,
| mander that it shall be fired at me the instant
give him the signal Therefore, restrain these men
and respect the laws of war, or you shall instantly
accompany me to the other world" This was
enough Ship was no more olested he returned ne
to his comrades in safety, and fought out the des-
perate action that ensued, and obtained promotion
for his bravery.
The counter instance referred to at the head o.
our paragraph, was told as follows: After tht
british and Indians had Withdrawn, ,Croghar
missed one man, (only one who had belonged t.
his little band and all efforts for his discover!
were for some time unsuccessful At length his re
mains were discovered in the garnet OF one OF TIN
block -houses, where he had crept for safety an
was cut in two by cannon ball. All the rest col
sdering their chances of life not worth tnough
had only sought do their Duty and escaped aiITt
from perhaps the most desperate fight on record In
only man who was killed, happened tObe the onl
man who proved himselfa coward N. Y. Atlas

MODES OF CONTEMPLATING GOLD-IhomP-
sons Reporter says: eve are again impelled to
call attention to the fact that large amount OF
spurious American gold is now iii circulation.
There are different processes by which silver pieces
are made to represent gold the most successful Is
that of galyanizng them, which mparts clear
mint-like appearance to the piece. Another pro-
cess is that of plating, but this leaves the piece
with heavy, pasted appearance, and consequently
less likely to deceive particularly as the pieces are
made rather larger and thicker than the genuine
and this probably is the best method of detection
