A NIdaEE Is a NIGGER.--We learn that
most horrid butchery Of a colored child wis en-
acted one day last week in Delaware, near tns
line Of this State. Itappears that the old folks
went from home and left two small boys in tlss
house, who, during their absence, took their
little sister to the woodpic, laid her head upon
log and chopped it off with an axe. The
younger brother afterwards chopped off one Of
her arms. On the return of the parents the
mutated parts OF the body Of the child wers
found scattered about the yard. The reason
for this inhuman act given by the oldest boy, il
that his sister had dared him to do it, and ahe
wouldn't take a dare from anybody Saoso

Captain Shalcross, of the Mississippi steam
or Peytona, is one Of the crack captains of the
river Everybody knows him and he knows
everybody, and therefore we must tell a little
story about him. One day the Peytona was
steamng down, past the cotton towards New
Orleans, when she was hailed by another boat
going up.
" Halloo! Captain ShallT

About thousand dollars, reckon, Sir
said the clerk.
Well, stop at the first wood boat And the
Peytona pufIed on until wood boat was seen
moored to the shore, with piles Of cord wood
around, and IA small man, with his trowsers
rolled up, and his hands in his pockets, SILVER

Round to, pilot said Captain Shall The
boats bound down stream always have to come
around with their bows pointed UP stream, to
resist the current of the Missississippi; some
times they encounter big eddy, and have to
take a sweep OF some miles before they can reach
the landing place. So it was in this instance.
So you'll take Atchahlaya money for wood,
will you? said the Captain, as the boat approach
ed the shore.

How will you take it7' said Captain Shall

Eight Rules.

The following which we copy from Couai
tereit Detector, will be ofinterest to many, and
is worth cutting out and preserving in your
pocket-book The rules, it is said, will detect
all counterfeits, altered or spurious notes:
l. Examine the form and features Of all hu.
man figures on the note 1.-THE forms are grace
ful, and the figures distinct, examine the drS-
perry. See if the folds lie natural The hair Of
the head should be obseryed-ahd whether the
fine strands can be seen.
g Examine the lettering, the title OF the
Bank, or round hand write on the face Of the
note On all genuine bills THIS work is done
with great skill and pcriectness, and there nev-
er yet was counterfeit but wass defective in
the lettering.
s. The imprint or engraver's name. BY OBJ
serving the great perfection Of the ditteren COM
pany names--the evenness and shape Of the
fine letters. CounterIeiters never get the i'm
print perfect This rule alone, ifstrictly obser-
we'd, will detect every counterfeit bill in exia.
tence.
T. The shading in the background fvgnette,
or over and around the letters forming the name
Of Bank on a good bill, is perfect and even; on
counterfeit irregular and imperfect.
5. Examine well the figures on other parts Of

figures which stand for the denomination, to
sec fit is ofthe same character with the orna.
mental work surrounding it.
g. Never take bill deficient in any ofthe r.
boye points. If your first impression is bad.
you had better be careial how you become in
duced t. change your mind-whether your o.
pinion is not altered as you become confused In
looking into the nature Of the workmanship Of
the bill
T. Examine the name Of the State, name OF
the bank, and name Of the town where located.
tit has been altered from another Bank, the
defects can be plainly seen, as the alteration
will show where it has been stamped on.

fRICE OF LEAD AND MINERAL,

Lead has been advancing a quarter of a
cent round upon the ladder every month
since the great downward leap of 81. IT
is now worth in St. Louis $3.50 per 100
ibs., which brings mineral up to $4,000
per 1000 Tbs. $4,000 per 1000 is the
price paid at Potosi, Fairplay, Beetown,
Platteville and all round-perhaps shade
more at Galena and trlfie less at dig
gings distant from shipping ports. $4,000
per 1000 was the average paid during the
years of imitation, ballooning ard crazy
speculation from 1854 to 1857, and 1885,
90 the highest ever reached. The chan
ces are that $4,000 will be the highest
price for some months. This rise will
throw into immediate market for cash GER
ta.nly near half million dollars worth o.
mineral and lead Smelters tell us they
are now shipping their lead direct to St.
Louis and drawing the money, instead Of
making Mr.. Corwith their agent with
powers to hold up or let down, like the
udders of cow. He formerly drove on
sniping occasions, the smelters and miners
holding the bag, so that when the hard
times came, all were decently SHIPPED.
