C.umte-frits The Art Perfected.

daguerreotypist, in Cincinnati, nance
Fontayne, said to be one Of the most skillfu
artists in the country, has just discovered a
process by which the most perfect imagina-
BILE Photographic fac SMILES of bank notes
can be executed with ease. 50 exact is the
counterfeit, indeed that the slightest differ
ence between it and tho original cannot he
detected by the most practicsd eye. On sew
eral occasions, the Cincinnati Bankers were
deceived by one of these counterfeit notes
placed amongst lot of good ones, and stub
born;y declared it to be genuine. The lines
were as delicate, the figures IS perfect and
and the wrsatl work as rich and well execu-
ted on the false as on the good notes, and in
short, on their faces one was the exact coun-
tepart of the other. The only test by which
the counterfeit could be detected was chem
ical process, necessarily tedious one, by
which On the application of decomposing
acid, the black lines on the false bills being
made BY q solution of silver, while ON the
genuine, being made with ink they would not
be affected. Even the red stamps on the
back Of the bills were exactly initiated by
the Photographic counterfeit.
Should knowledge of this art become
gencral-and it would seem to be attainable
BY every skilful photographist--it will play
sad havoc among bankers and bank notes.
There seems to be no means of guarding
the effects, except by executing the figures on
bank notes in high colors. which are not
easily transferred BY photography. The coun-
Try would ba in wretched predicament if
counterfeit bills should be scattered broad
east, so exact and perfect that banks them
selves could not tell which was theirs and
winch was not. Nor is the art confnad to
Inc counterfeiting of bank payer merely.
Signatures and chirography may be perfect
initiated, so that mans handwriting may
oe transferred to checks, drafts, notes, bills,
Or wills with the greatest accuracy.

A Touching Story.

The Hon. A. II. Stephens, of Georgia, in
recent address at n meeting IN Alexandria,
for the benefit of the Orphan Asylum and
Free School, of that city, related the follow
ing anecdote . O.. FL. ,..s.........
ga poor little boy in cold night, with no
home or roof to shelter his head, no paternal
or maternal guardian or guide to protect or
direct him on his way, reached at night
fall the house of a rich planter, who took
him in, fed, lodged, and sent him on his way
with his blessing. Those kind attentions
cheered his heart and inspired him with fresh
courage to battle with the obstacles Of life.
Years rolled round: Providence led him on,
and he had reached the legal profession ; his
host had died; the cormorants that prey on
the substance of man had formed a conspiracy
to get from the widow her estate. She sent
for the nearest council, to commit her cause
to him, and that council proved to be the
orphan boy years before welcomed and enter
tanned by her deceased husband. the stim.
ulus of q warm and tenacious gratitude was
now added to the ordinary motive connected
with the profession. He undertook her cause
with will not easily to be resisted; he
gained it; the widows estates were secured
to her in p,rpetuity and Mr.. Stephens added
with an emphasis of emotion that sent an
electric thrill throughout the house, 'thal
orphan boy stands before you' p"

PRINCIPLES of the Border Ruffians


Some one who had no bu!sness in such COM
pany, introduced bill in the Kansas Legis-
lature to prevent tho separation of Slave
Families. This little piece Of humanity pro
ducea an intense excitement among the Ru-
ffians, and the prime bully (Stringfello) made
the following speech against it,. s.,g
s'He was opposed to the bill not only be-
cause it unjustly discriminates, but because
its principles are wrong. He did not think

,oife or child and mother acds tcrong. Il do
not pretend to be any better than Gods cho-

framed laws which allowed the separation
of husband and wife and of families be-

her child or aoite from her husband if
did not, scould uote for this bill.' He then
showed that tax sales would nulfy the oh

make the condition of the slave worse than

WILL THEY DO 1T-It is about time
the locofoco party in Iowa: if there is any,
were showing some kind of front. At the
/ Spring elections they endorsed Pierce and
Nebraska and were defeated In August
they ran for office, scorning any avowai OF
principle and were again defeated. They
are now soon to hold State Convention at
Ft. Des Moiues-Oct. lat which they
must it seems to US, show some kind OF
front. There will be some dodging, some
grand aud lofty tumbling, slight of hand
and tricks of legerdemain worthy Of Mons.
Adr,en himself But they will tnd it very
hard to get along without some avowal Of
principle-some exhibition of back bone
And in making an avowal they will be sure
to split on some of the rocks which hedge
IN their course. We shall see what We
shall see. They cannot well make mat
! tiers worse.

A MODEL LAW SUIT.-The advantages of
litigation are illustrated in the case of a
school district in Cornish, N. H., against
Ariel Comings for the recovery of an old
broken box stove, worth probably, from SO
to IS cents. The Court Of Common Pleas,
at Newport, last week gave verdict in favor
Of the District, giving $l,5l damages. The
verdict carries with it taxable costs amount
ing in all to more than five hundred dollars,
to SAY nothing Of the amount expended
which can b, taxed to the defeated party.
