GEN COINS AMONG THE SEcEssIoNIsrs.-Th
following incident is said to have occurred at
Cynthiana, Ky, Oh Tuesday evening of last week:
Hon. Leslie Combs was on his way home Oh
board the Kentucky Central Railroad, and Sec
ing a large crowd assembled at the Cyntlana
depot, he said few words on the subject of
Union, when some beardless youths who
PLAYING secession ''sojers" displayed their lack
of good breeding Gt is unfair to accuse empty
head6 youths of want of patriotism,) by inter-
ruptng him and shouting "hurrah for JEFF. Da-
Wis" Mr.. Combs felt the insult to himself and
his country, and told the young men what he
thought OF them He said they were traitors
and towards that their tribe had shot a Ken
tuckian last week, and that they would sell their
country at any time and to any body Of men,
This exasperated the Southern rights volunteers
and six of them forthwith drew pistols aud lev
eled them at the brave old patriot, but without
effect for he dared any one of them to fire
shot at him, and accompanied his remark by a
sudden uplifting of his pedal ornament in the
neighborh0od of the coat tail of the secession
military Captain. Il Louisville Democrat.

delay the preparations of the North to guard
against danger. A leading feature Of the con-
spiracy was the theft of Ha.per's Ferry. as q
means of arming the ten thousand men who
were TO concentrate there, and by the Baltimore

THREE New TERRITORIES the late ses-
sion of Congress three Territories were organi-
zed, viz Colorado, Nevada and Dacotah Col
orado includes parts of Kansas, Nebraska, and
eastern Utah, covers about 100, 900 square miles,
and has population reckoned at $4,000 souls
The Rocky Mountains divide the Territory into
two parts, westward from them flowing large
number of rivers, tributary to the Colorado, and
eastward others, equally numerous and large, trs-
butary to the Arkansas and South Fork Platte
rivers. 1t includes the famous mining region,
Pixies Peak. Nevada is tax en- from Western Utah
and Northern California but the strip of California
will not be included within its limits unless that
State consents to the transfer This Territory in
cludes the celebrated Washoe mines, the richest
in the world and is besides rich in agricultural re-
sources Dacotah Was formerly a part of Min
nesota Territory, but detached when that
became State. 1t lies west of Minnesota, em-
bracing belt of country 450 miles in length by
200 in width. Its resources chiefly agricultu-
ral 1t abounds in lakes and rivers, and in the
south has a mild climate, while in the north the
climate is severe.
The number Of Territories is now seven, viz
Washington, Nebraska, Utah, New Mexico, Colo
RADIO, Nevada, and Dacotah. In all probability
they will, with the exception, perhaps, of Utah. be
admitted into the Union in the course of a few
years sovereign States. Slavery exists in only
one of them, New Mexico.

SON

Take life as it is-'tis folly to sigh
Or to seek for treasure, when seeking is vain.
If friendships light that goes speedily by,
Regretting its loss is but adding to pain
Perfectons thing rarely found upon earth
We may cherish the hope and our fancy exalt
But though we meet many of honor and WORTH
We find, before long every hath his fault
If word we require that will always be true,
We must learn where it is from, the fairies or
elves,
The errors Of friendship are easy to view,
Not so easy the errors that lie in ourselves;
No. perfcction's thing rarely found upon earth
We may cherish the hope and our fancy exalt
But though we may meet many of honor and
worth
We find, before long, every hath his fault.

BOGUS misunderstanding of the stores
established n many cities of the United States
where purchasers of jewelry can have ther "choice
Tor one dollar" the Chicago Journal says:
The principal composition used in the manufac-
ture of the jewery is termed Oreide, and is simply
excellent quality of brass. 1t is the most posi-
tive imitation Of gold that has ever been dis
covered it wears like it, not dscoloring anything
it touches, as common brass or copper will; it may
be engraved or chased, being the same all the way
through; it is much softer and more readily fused
than gold, however; and its value may be Imagined
when VIC say that u dozen finely chased spoons Of
this metal eau be bought for 81 80, with profit
the retailer, at that price, Of over thirty
three per cent.
OF this metal, the New York Scientific Ameri.
can, most excellent authority, says:
Oreide of gold, of which many cheap articles
of ieweiry are now made, is simply very beautiful
brass, without single grain Of gold in its COM
position.
The costliest part Of the oreide operation Is the
molds and forms in which the jewciry is shaped
and cut Were they obliged to have these moulds
made expressly at each change Of fashion, it would
materially reduce the profits; but they avoid this
difficulty by purchasing the moulds in which
jewelers. have made The real gold jewelry and thus
also obtain the latest patterns. Probably the most
expensve-Iookins piece of this jeweIry does not
cost for the metal-moulding, putting together and
u1aking-up, forty cents.

tend so to do. Stephen Girard, whose aame is

Il have always considered advertising, literally,

business, and prelude to wealth. And have
made it an iuvariabie rule, too to advertise in the

through :he efforts Of single lady, who devoted
herself to this work and many more have appli-

received in over a twelvemonth, only twenty had
reupsed, and nearly all of these had returned of
their own accord, bitterly repentng their weak
ness and desiring further opportunity of reforma-
ton. AS the most insidious means were adopted
to lure them back to vice, the secessions were en-
