Counterfeit Money.

Friend Morris:--On late visit to Sa-
lem township, ascertained that they had
considerable counterfeit money afloat in
that region. This state OF things is cer-
tainly very much to be regretted, and very
naturally led to the inquiry as to the orr
gin Of this spurious money. and its. prop
agators. | ascertained that there had
long existed a set of desperadoes in the
neighboriDg counties OF Virginia, who
were bound together by oaths OF secresy
themselves credit, and establish themselves
ia the confidence of the unwary, they give
the name of Masonry. They also, il ap-
pears, have certain watch-words or signs
by which they can recognize the different
members Of their fraternity. In order,
therefore, to extend their operations, they
have come over into Your county, and es-
tablished in some OF The dark hollows Of
old Monroe kind of branch, and have
succeeded. as understand. in initiating
quite number, as members in full fellow
ship, Of their glorious fraternity. Since
their FIRST visit number of counterfeit
bills OF various Denominations have been
put in circulation by some OF this gang
The citizens, as well as some of the Off
GERS, are on the look ou, for them, and the.
next effort that's made to pass the spuri-.
Gus article, by any of the gang, (and they
are all pretty well known, understand,A

all lovers OF good order to look to this.
thing before it gets the fearful start that it
has in some OF the border counties Of Vir.
ginia. If common rumor be true, these
fellows have reached so far in their UNDER
takings, and have become so numerous.
that they control not only the elections.
but they also. to great extent, control all
the judicial proceedings, so far as their
own gang is concerned. If this rnmor be.
true, it certainly presents very dark pic-e
ture, much darker, than would wish to-
see in DARK MONROE even in her darkest
age. But as was in Sunfish but short
time on my late visit, and expecting 10 re-
turn in a week or two, will cut this arti-
Gle short, and think in my next will be
able to give you more full detail as to
the whereabouts this gang hold their or
gies, their names, and many other import
ant particulars.

best course to pursue in order to break up
this thing. VISITOR.

The latest account state that The loss of life

Neapolitan dominions, the most southern por-
'ion of Italy, forming what is called the foot of
the Italian boot. It is mountainous, the APP
penlne chain running through its entire length.
and rising in some Placest to a great height. It
is subject to earthquakes. A most terrific visi-
iatlon Of that sort occurred in 1888, which swal-
lowed up 4 number Of towns and ,yillages.-
There are traces also of volcanoes, the soil in
some places being one mass of lava. The po-
pulation in the province, with an area of 67S9
miles, is something like 4 million. The chief
towns are Cosenza, with $4,000, Reggie, H..
600, and CantanZoa 10000 inhabitants. There
was, 1t seems, a succession of earthquakes. At
Cosenza-the capita! OF Caiabria Cita-the cas-.
tie is said to have been destroyed, and all the
garrison buried in the ruins. Cosenza is situa.
ted II miles from the Mediterranean, on the

THE RRI:ur LITTLE GIRL.

Song to a. Irish Tune.
Her Blue eyes they beam and they twinkle;
Herlips have made smiling more fair;
On cheek and on brow there's no wrinkle,
But thousands of cuIls in her hair.
She's little-you don't wish her taller;
Just half through the Teens in her age;
And lady OF baby to call her;
Were something TO puzzle a sage.
Her walk is far be;tert than dancing,
She speaks rs another might sing:
And all by an innocent CHANGING,
Like lambkins and birds in the spring,
Cnskilled in the airs of the city,
She's perfect in natural grace;
She's gentle. and truthful, and witty,
And ne er spends a thought Oh her face
Her face, with the fine glow that's in il,
As fresh as all apple tree bloom;
And o! when she comes, in 4 minute
Like sunbeams she brightens he room,
And taking in mind as in feature.
How many will sigh for her sake'
] wonder. the sweet little creature,
What sort OF 4 wife she would make,
