a BOLD AND SUCCESSFUL FoRGERY-On the 18th
of December a man calling himself Samuel Hing
worth went to the Farmers Bank in this city and
deposited SOL. He stated at the time that he de-
sired to use the money in the lower part of the
State, but did not wish to take it with him. After
he had made the deposit he drew check for the
amount, and requested the cashier, Mr.. Hicks to
mark it good" which he did
Nothing further was heard of Ilngworth until
the I'D inst, when he again presented himself at
the counter OF the Farmers Bank, and producing
the original check with the cashiers endorsement
requested Mr.. Hicks to renew it, and gave as
reason for his request that not having usedit as he
had expected to do, it became soiled and torn in
his pocket Upon examination, Mr. Hicks found
the check to be the same one he endorsed on the
18th, destroyed it, and in the pressure of business
requested Mr.. Torbert one of the tellers to place
the necessary endorsement on the new check
which he did Ilngworth then left.
On Tuesday last it was discovered that the time
which elapsed between the 18th and 22d DAYS of
the month was employed by the scoundrel in forg-
ing the signature Of Mr.. Hicks and that the first
check had been soed, not because it had been car
red in his pocket but because it had been used for
the purpose ofcountereiting, by the operation, as
is supposed of tracing the name, by holding it to
the light Three forged checks have come to light
two paid by the Delaware City Bank-one for
$500, and another for 5000, and one by the Bank
Of Smyrna for SOL. The genuine check was Of
fered first and cashed at the Delaware City Bank
next day the forgeries were presented and cashed
llso. The william had offered the genuine check at
he branch bank at New Castle but being stran-
ger, and coming direct from Wilmington, payment /
vas refused him Wilmington Democrat ]

received notice tbst he would probably
arrive on the very day the circumstance
occurred which L am about to relate. J
while she was sitting in her room, alone,
friend called, and found her in a state
of extreme agitation. Upon inquiring
the cause, she stated that, Just moment
before, while she was sitting, thinking of
her husband, perfectly conscious of all
around her, the door opened, and he an.
peared before her, with coat and hat off.

ENGLISH GENERALS OF THE PRESENT
TINE
THE EARL OF CARDIGAN.

TIE EARL OF CARDIGAN.
The Earl of Cardigan, the commander
of the British light cavalry in the Crimea,
holds the rank Of lieutenant general in
the British army, and is colonel of the
Horse Guards, the choice regiment of the
household troops.
He is a man of immense fortune, and
brother -in-law to Lord Lucan, the COM
mander in chief of the British cavalry.
In 1889, Lord Cardigan had charges
preferred against him by Lord Hill, then
commander in chief of the forces, fer
" Cruelty and unoficerlike conduct. !"
The specifications were for knocking
down one Of his men, and stamping on
his face with the heel of his boot, by
which the teeth of the soldier were
knocked out of his mouth.
AS British peer his trial took place
before the House of Lords, and occupied
just two hours and half, and resulted
in bis acquittal; verdict which was
bitterly condemned by the united British
press at the time
We beg to call the attention of the
London Times, and his lordship's ad-
mirers, to the London newspapers of
May, 1889, to see what was then said of
g the noble Earl"

RUSSIA DRAINING ENGLAND OF GOLD.
The Philadelphia Ledger remarks that
it is curious fact that the blockade of
the Russian harbors, so far from redu-
cling the exports of Russia, has only dimin-
ished the capacity Of England to pay for
those exports otherwise than in gold. This
extraordinary result has been brought
about by the Russians shipping their
hemp, hides, tai ow, &C., from Prussian
ports, while they have not received in
exchange, as formerly, their raw cotton,
coffee, and sugar from the London mer-
chants. Thus, while England has re-
ceived thirty-five million dollars worth
of Russian produce since the commence
ment of the war, she has given Russia
but six millions worth of goods in re.
turn. For all these articles from Rus.
sia England has been obliged, of course,
to pay double prices, so that besides be.
ing unable to barter off her own ordinary
share of tropical products for the pro-
ductions Of her enemy, she is compelled
to contract nearly twice as great debt
as usual in order to obtain the quantity
Of Russian articles she requires. She is
therefore obliged to disburse gold to an
unprecedented amount, and thus fur
nishes thc Car with those very sinews
of war in which he is most deficient.
The Ledger says:
"This condition of affairs is attract
ing the attention of the British press.
Many journals are even calling for a re-
turn TO the old practice of seizing enc.
mics goods in neutral bottoms. The
large quantities Of lead shipped to Prus-
sian ports, and thence carried into
Russia to be manufactured into musket
balls, has particularly exasperated the
British press. Yet what is to be done
1t will scarcely do for England to retract
from her late decision, with respect to
free ships making free goods, especially
as the treaty between the United States
and Russia pledges this country, in .
measure, to enforce that doctrine in re-
gard to our own marine. 1t will answer
but little better to make war with Prus.
sia, for other avenues for Russian hemp
and tallow will open. The truth is, that
England is in what is technically called
"a fix, in reference to this matter, and
will probably have to pay Russia, as
long as the war lasts, from twenty to
twenty-five millions Of dollars in specie.
for necessary tallow, wheat, and hemp.
in other words, the Car will get out of
her every year enough to keep a small
army in the field. Such are some of the
odd results of war when waged between
military and commercial power"
