A FLOOD OF CoUsTERrTiTs.-Last night the Second
Ward Police arrested two men giving their names IS
Charles Nelson and Samuel Clark for attempting to
pass ~ counterfeit on the Mystic Bank of Mystic,
Conn.,, on George s. Robinson, soda-waer dealer at
No. 81 South street. The accused were taken to the
Station House, and upon examining their persons the
police found 1884 in counterfeit bills, among which
were nine $40 counterfeit bills on the American Ex-
change Bank of this city and six IS bills on the Union
Bank New-London, Conn. Some Of the queer money
was fouId concealed in the lining of Clarks hat.
Counterfeit bills on the Union Bank, Mystic'Bank,
ALSO IS bills on the Village Bank Of Danvers, Mass,
were freely offered about the city, but as they were
poorly executed they did not meet with favorable re-
eep!ion.

The Gieaner saws

No man is more impatient under reprool
than he who most needs and deserves it
and to be angry with him who is honest
enough to hold the mirror before your face,
though you may think him no handsomer or
better behaved than yourself, only shows
that you think and know yourselfto be ugly
to that degree, that the sight of your own
image vexes you. Trying to break the mir
ror fer rejecting your true lineaments is a
sure testimony that the glass is faithful
reflector. There is no better proof of the
hollowness of a vessel than the noise which
proceeds from it when a piece of pure metal
IS thrown into it; were it full the ring oi
the coin could not be heard.

THE AUDAc1TY OF THE CLoTH.-A highly
favored kalloch case has lately come off at
kesota, Minnesota. A Rev. Mr.. Hill, pastor
of the United Brethren, was accused of Ger
tain scandalous practices and called to-
gether his church and society to listen to
his public confession. He told them that
three years ago he seduced girl aged six
teen from her home in Maine and took her
to Boston, and after a short residence there,
TO Minnesota, where he had resided with her
as his wife for thirteen months, having one
child by,her. He said he had left wife and
three children in Maine. After this full con-
fession he asked all who were in favor of his
remaining as their Christian pastor to stand
up, and majority rose to their feet, while
the rest refused to vote either way. Evil
IDENTIFY the United Brethren in Minnesota are
very liberal in their ideas of social life. Ii
suggests the story of the church in Oakham,
where it was found embarrassing to disci
pline member for drunkenness because so
many of the brethren were in the habit oi
taking little,' whereapon one of the dea-
cons suggested that sif the Lord Jesus must
have church in 0akham he must take such

path of duty which they follow, leaving
olden homes and kindred to comfort and

transformed California from a great gather

CALIFoRNIA SCENERY RY.-California is indeed
picturesque country, abounding in scenery
the most lovely imaginable, and it is as va
ried as il is beautiful. He who confines HIM
self to one locality never can know how he
is loser by it. When upon the treeless
plain, in the distance he can see the noun
tains as they environ him like the frame of
picture the Garth is one wide carpet of
green, glittering with flowers of varied hucs,
and dotted over with focks and herds, while
ever and anon little clouds of birds are seen
whirling, changing and gyrating as if be-
meath the power of some enchanter's wand !;
and when the san shines brightly, trembling
mirages, with their deceptive waters and in
verted images, hang at q distance along
your path. 1t is often the case that in tray-
cling you pass through fertile valleys,
thickly studded with oaks, whose bright
green leaves make shade that is very in
vitng to the weary traveller or the happy
cattle.
Bat who can describe the changing
scenery Of the mountains? At every step
there is something to admire and love-
Whether you Chamber over rough cliffs, toll
up smooth knolls move through dense fer
ests or stand upon treeless peaks, it is all
grand, sublime, enrapturing g-Pdcjfc Meth

CURIOUS Biblical FAoTs.-One of the most
wonderful things about the Bible is its in
f1uence as a stimulant to thought. If it had
been made book of dogmatic theology, as
precise and unmistakabIe in its doctrines as
the catechism, there would have been no
such vast amount of study and research ex-
pended upon it as has kept the Christian
world busily thinking, discovering and dis
putting for eighteen centuries. An English
antiquarian who has made list of works
upon the Bible or portions of it states that
their number is not less than 10000. On
the first five books, 900 different works
have been published; and this, exclusive OF
commentaries On the whole Bible; and not
less than 5000 works on the Psalms The
evangelical prophet Isaiah has had 2 eco COM
mentatorS; and about 5000 different vol
umes have been published on the four Cos
pels. as whole, and Mathew, in particular,
exclusive of commentaries on the whole
New Testament and the other Gospels singly
There have been about three thousand works
on Romans, and two thousand on Revea-
tiOns.

"A. P. Mollitor, the well known assayer,

s'Mercury is often found in the market,

almost one half of its weight without losing
much of its liquidity. This adulteration
can be easily discovered by rubbing some of

gentlemen, that if Republican Presi-
dent shall be constitutionally elected to
preside for the next four years over this

Do not Senators know that an attempt to
dissolve this Union implies civil war,
with all its attendant horrors; the march
ing and countermarching of vast armies;
battles to be fought, and oceans of blood
to be spilled, with all the vindictive NAL
ice and i'll will that civil war never fails

favorable to the growth and perpetuity
of this delicate institution? Why, sir, if
it cannot stand the mild arguments of

mate shock of arms? But, Mr.. Presi-
dent, such things shall never be. The
souls and bodies of traitors may dissolve
on the gibbet, but this Union shall stand
forever.
Mr.. President, I have said all and
more than lailtended, and 1 regret that
1t has become necessary for me to say
anything ON account of what has been
said on the other side. l regret that at
this early period of the session we should
get interlocked with this old controversy.

shall vote for this resolution most cheer
fully, and will give it the furthest and
most extended sweep that you may de-
sire, because it is my wish, ifthere is any
misunderstanding with regard to the
participants inthis affair, that you should
have the greatest latitude that you can
desire to ferret them out, and make them

number of copies of Gov. Dennison's in
augural address. The Democrats came
down upon the document in regular
South Carolina style. 'sSueh sentiments
were wholly unfit to go before the peo-
pie. That if read by the people and
sanctioned by them the Union would be
dissolved, as the South would never sub
NIT to remain in the Union if such SEN
timents were permitted to be proclaimed
in Ohio, &C." Some indiscreet gentle
man demonstrated their entire sympa-
thy with the Despotism which has sup
pressed the freedom of speech and the
press in the Democratic States of the
South, and that all that was wanting was
the power to inaugurate the same Des-
potism here. But before the vote was
taken it was discovered that by law
passed several years ago, the inaugural,
as well as other messages, were required
to be published, and the number of cop
les fixed, so that the "incendiary" docu-
ment could not be suppressed.
There is also another Democratic bill
before the House, which will come up in
a day or two, and will doubtless elicit
some discussion. Indeed, the object of
the bill is simply to make aBuncombe"
speeches upon. 1t involves the "negro
question" of course, as do also several
others already introduced. But we will
wait until action is taken before analyz-
ing the bill. 1t is sufficiently atrocious,
however, to suit the taste Of even Ala
bama slave drivers. One section of it
makes it crime punished by heavy fine
and Imprisonment for any person to bring
a slave, Ono matter of what color, coun-
try, or under what circumstan esq into
this State for the purpose Of ensancipa-
ting such slave Other provisions pun
ish, with fine and Imprisonment, any
person in this State, who shall, in any
manner, harbor or employ any FREE ne
gro or nrulatto, who shall come into the
State after day named in said bill. We
don't think the bill can pass. We know
it could not pass in Austria or Russia
But that may be owing to the absence of
Democracy there.
