THE ARTILLERY OF THE MOUNTAINS Thunder
is called the artillery of heaven; the artillery of
the ocean must be the roaring winds. The artil-
lery of the mountains is the powder blast that
shiyers the rocky doors Of the treasure vaults.
We hear the powder explosions every hour, and
wonder if there is not in the aggregate, an eX-
plosion every moment Of every day-not minute
guns but second guns The sound is like that
which escapes from the artillery Of war; the
The shock, the reverberation alike; but
the purpose is laden with difference The artillery
of the mountains denotes incessant war but the
resoundng is voice procaming Industry, and
all the echoes sing a song for labor The nces.
SAINT war is against the firm barrcades Of nature;
they must be broken, the chambers Of the hills
must yield up their gliding the soldiers Of toll
must be paid.-Sicrra Citizen.

SUSTAIN TIE MNsTEB.--We address persons
who do not belong to the church, but who, never
tbeless, reverence Christian religion. The Meth
odist Conference have sent us a minister with
familr-a most worthy woman and an invalid
child. Sufficient provision mas not been made by
members of The church they cannot make proper
provision, for they are poor. Each citizen who
believes in the religion Of Christ, aud who is not
obligated to another church, should contribute
to sustain The servant of God who is sent here by
q church which ever sends lis missionaries through
halftrodden ways. Look at the example of the
Catholics: A few citizens exhibit proper Kindness
to The minister Of their religion; the congregation
hasten to recognize that Kindness in the most
public manner And will PJoteStoats neglect 10

CoAsT MINIYG-GoLD BIUFFs.-The Gold Bluff
excitement is still remembered; Bertrand & Co.
continue TO work there, and their mining opera
tions are somewhat interesting:
"When the company's watches discover black
spots on the sea coast they report to the company,
and preparations are Immediately made for work
The mules are got ready, with their saddle-bags,
and are led to the shore. Men and mules, thus
barnessed, are in waiting for the surf, which
sometimes comes very swiftly, striking the blum
with great force. When the waves recede, leaving
the shore uncovered men and mules hurry out,
and Gather load of sand, and hasten back in
advance Of the breakers, and deposit their loads
at the wash-house, where it is washed in long
tom--a wooden box, with big hole in The bot
tom, sitting under ten-nch waterfall; a large
round stone is put under the fall TO divide its
force. The gold is very fine, requiring great
care in adjustment Of water force. very prof
table mining business is thus carried on. Mons
Vi ctor Rcssayrc, who has been interested in the
work, thinks the whole Bluffs you'd pay, if wash
cd by a strong surf. The gold does not come
from the sea, but from Tie Bluffs, and is washed
back by The surf"
Persons who have been on the coast, below the
Golden Gate, have observed multitudes Of little
birds that run cut after the reccding waves, and
discovering a returning breaker, put out for the
shore with the utmost expedition. In the same
manner miners work at Gold Bluffs While the
waves are out, they scoop up mule load Of sand,
and hurry off to shore, not always without being

From Preston's Reporter-[Detrait Mich. ]

How TO DETECT COUNTERFEIT AND
ALTERED NoTEs.-Many presons have
no other guide in detecting Counterfeit
and altered notes than their "Bank Note
Reporter" They do not use any skill
or judgment of their own. If note is
presented, about which they have any
doubts, instead of looking at and exam
ming it, as they would examine a car
riage, sleigh, coat or hat, or any
other manufactured article, to see that
1T is finished and complete in all its parts
simply refer to the Reporter and if it
does not pronounce it bad-ifit says moth
ing about it-they take it for granted that
it / $ good. This is a wrong conclusion
Suppose that the utmost skill and vigil
ance is used in giving accurate and
early descriptions of all counterfeit and
altered Notes as fast as they come to
our knowledge, you must admit that they
must be issued before they can be de-
scribed.
There are one or more human figures
on almost every Bank Note. Examine
one of these carefully and fully; take
notice OF the hair, the face, the eyes, the
nose, the han is, the clothing then, by
comparing these different features in the
genuine Note with the same in the count
felt. and, noting the difference, YOU will
perceive that i'll the genuine the hair viii!
resemble that of well dressed head
Ill the counterfeit, it will look cas- though
it couldn't help it's the "cyes'' will be
eyes chat speak, in the one case. and
''two clumsy dots'' in the other. After
one full comparison of this kind is made
you can distinguish the difference be-
tween Il genuine and counterfeit Note
almost as easily as you can tell black
man from white one.
ALTERATIONS Notes are altered in
various ways. Is. IS and IS, are altered
notes to IS, 10 and 2Os of the same bank
by simply altering the denomination of
the Note. This is sometimes done by
FASTING ''Five" Tor a larger Cenomina-
tion) over the word Gone" and FASTING
a figure over the figure l. Sometimes
by extracting the original denomination
from the small bill, with acids, and then
printing or stamping on the larger de-
nominations. Another mode is to take
a genuine bill, of some broken or worth
less bank, and alter the location of the
bank. Merchants Bank OF ashington
D. c., "a worthless concern,) by extract
ing Washington, d. c." could be
changed to Troy, N. Y" Boston,
Mass" or to "Merchants Bank" of any
other town or State. Another method
is to alter the name and location of
worthless bills SO rs to represent solvent
banks.
re detect "an altered note" examine
carefully the name Of the State, name of
the bank, and name Of the town where
the bank is located; also examine the
name or denomination of the note, and
hold it to the light, with the back of the
note towards you. Whenever you can
get counterfeit and genuine note OF
the same plate, take time and pains to
compare them together. You can then
see the difference very plainly between
a genuine and counterfeit note,

SUPPORT YOUR HOME PAPER.-The
Cleveland Herald talks thus sensibly
upon the duty of supporting home pa

Recollect, if home paper is to be
supported, home influences must do it.
Every dollar sent to eastern papers is at
the expense of the local papers. A
county acquires prominence through it's
paper more than through any other way,
and to every one who has county inter
ests at stake, his home paper is neces-
sity. Never will such man take pa
per printed from home, until he is able
to take second paper. His first paper
will be his home sheet, and he will So
identify his own interests with that of
his county paper as to consider his SUBJ
scriptlon as much matter Of yearly du-
ty as the payment of his taxes"
