LOOK Or FOR BOGUS POSTAGE CURREN-
CIT appears that there are counterfeit
fifty-cenl notes Of The new postage currency
in circulation. They are said 10 be well
executed, and should be guarded against.
The following easily noted marks will ena-
bic holders 10 detect them:
l. The paperis thinner than the genuine,
2. The five faces Of Washington vary con-
siderably from each other IN the counterfeit
so much so chat two or three Of them, if
Standing alone, wcuId hardly be taken to be
portraits Of Washington-whie on the gen
uine they all closely resemble each other
8. The linked letters ~. S. under the
middle face of Washington in the counter
felt, do not show the lower end of the IS"
inside Of the leg Of he ~ while in the
genuine they do. This mark is easiIy seen.
4. The border round the lettering and
$50" on the back Of the counterfeit is dark,
and the lines are crowded, while in the
genuine the border is open with line of
light dots running through the middle
all the way round. In the conterfait this
middle line is almost invisible, while in the
aanune it is so distinct as to catch the eve
at once.

no prepare Trees for Planting.

lie following valuable suggestions, from
Eatohanl, Hanford q Co.'S Catalogue,
Should be observed by ali who are engaged
In tfansplanlilg trees and sh.ubbery:
With sharp knife cut of, sloping from
the under side, any bruised or broken
roots, then reouee the tops to correspond
with the loss of roots, cptting off surplus
branches, and reducing those forming the
head to three or four ,ads on each OF last
years shoots. This will cause more
healthy and vigorous growth the first sea-
sop-its omission is a common cause OF
TIE failure or sickly growth ofnew planted
trees.
IL setting, let one person hold the tree
il It's position, while another fills in the
meIlo earth, rressing it firmly among the
roots with the hand, taking care to leave
no cavities underneath-and when the
roots are all covered, pressing the whole
down firmly with the foot.
1yoid deep plantiag-when all is fin
sh ed the tree should be no deeper than
when in the nursery.
Grape-yines should be cut back to two
or three eyes, and only one OF these be
permitted to grow the first year.
Raspbernes and blackberries should be
cut back to within one foot of the ground.
Gooseberries and currants should be cut
lack to one or two eyes OF last seasons
growth.
If planting is cone rather late in spring,
and IN dry weather, it is we'll to give water
freely, after setting the trees and covering
The roots with earth letting il settle before
finishing up, then if the surface is mulch
ed as recommended, no farther watering
is necessary.
No grass or grain crops should be
grown among fruit trees, at least until
they have arrived at bearing size. Neg
Letting this precaution is the most common
cause of the failure of youGg orchards.
No f rmer expects a hill Of corn 10 flourish
among grass and other crops. and without
cultivation; it Is just as unreasonable to
expect young fruit trees to grow well in
such circumstances; yet how seldom do
we see anything ike common sense exhib-
tied in th is thing

CoMMoNPLACEW oMEE.-Heaven knows
how many simple letters from simple min
ded women have been kissed, cherished and
wept over by men of far loftier intellect.
Therefore it was no marvel that the childish
episte ofHopeAnstead was read and re-read
with lingering and throbbing heart. So it
will always be to the end of time. 1t is a
lesson worth learning by those young crea-
lures who seek to allure by their accom-
plishments, or to dazzle by their genius;
that though be may admire, no man ever
loves woman for these things. He loves
her for what is essensially distinct from,
though not incompatible with them--her
woman's nature and her woman's heart.
This is why we so often see man of high
genius or intellectual powers to pass by the
De St@ls and the Corrinnes TO take into
his bosom some wayside flower who has
nothing on earth to make her worthy Of
him, except at she is-what SO few Of
our 'sfemale celebrities" are--a true wo-
man.

QUEER Tn rNcs.-We know lazy, shiftles,
trfiing devils, who never paid a dollars
Of taxes in their lives, who are bowling
twelve out OF the twenty-four hours
about "the enormous taxes we are burden
with"
We know men, the seat Of whose panta-
looms display the flag Of distress at half
mast, who could not buy the toe-nail OF OF
niger if able bodied slaves were selling at
dollar dozen. who fly into passion If
they hear Of an "attack upon slave proper

We know men who never did days
work in their lives-saye when borrowing
or stealing was impossible--who are howl
ing ike wolves against "niggers coming to

The Detroit Riot-Faulkaer not Negro.

twenty-five Of the Detroit rioters had
been arrested up TO noon on Saturday
Thirty-two buildings were burnt. The
buildings were generally Of small value.
but hey contained all the worldly goods
of the poor despised occupants, and the
only shelter they possessed to screen them
from the storms of winter. The recent
inmates are now houseless and friendless.
Faulkner, the man guilty of the foul
crime which so melted the fiendish,
mallvolence Of the rioters, il now appears
is not anegro. lie is dark skinned man,
with blue eyes and straight hair, and
Claims to be Spanish Indian. He bias
been a registered voter in the Third ward
Of Detroit, and always voted the Demo
cratic ticket-in fact a genuine Copper
head and thus the poor blacks have been
made to suffer for the criminal acts Of one
Of their most determined enemies. This
thing has happened before.
Dunng TIE progress Of the riot, says the
Detroit Tribune, the fiends fierceIy de-
manded the 'lynching Of some damned alb
olitionist," the "kiling Of a damned mig
ger" the shooting Of a cussed Abolition
ist," De, showing the aninsas which urged

he makes the following admirable remarks
Hereafter, all officers who go out of their

upon our troops all kinds of depredations

Abe Canadi and Mr. Mitchell were hung
two weeks ago for being Union men, They

The former is still alive, but will probably
die.
Peter Lewis and three Of bis neighbors
were hunted down by 100 bloodhounds and
captured.
The houses of Messrs. Palmer. Wesby,
Williams and the three Weitmans, were
burned oyel their heads. The women aud
children were turned out Of doors and the
community was notified that if they allowed

New Olleans to their friends in Dixie re-
Gently, was the occasion OF q grand secesh
demonstration ia that city The n. y.
Herald correspondent says every rebel
prisoner had an escort Of three or four wo-
men to the oat in which they were en-
barked. Some ten thousand people turned
out 10 witness the spectacle. Rebel flags
were Haunted, and cheers given for jeff.
Davis. The Herald letter says:
The prisoner had given their parole Of
honor not to carry letters or anything con-
traband about heir pers 1ns, and it was
thought by some Of our officers that their
word should be taken, and that in was inn
polite and improper to subject them to 3
close search. "They are gentleman it
was said, "and the word of a gentleman
and soblier should be taken without ques-
ton.
We shall see. A search was ordered,
and the result was that about thous and
contraband letters were found Concealed
about their persons. They were found
sewed into the collars Of their coats and
the cuffs of their sleeves, with numerous
miniature rebel flags, and as The evidences
of guilt came to light, such Of or officers
as had put their trust in rebel honor became
convinced that they had put their trust in
something that did not exist, at least in that
crowd.

Mr. EDIToR:-As the diptheria is very
prevalent in this part Of thecountry, | send
YOU a cure copied from the Cincinnati
Times, as | think it valuable one.
Please give it a place in the columns OF
your paper:
Make two small bags that will reach
from ear to ear and Ell them with ashes
and salt, dip them In hot water and wiring
them ont so they will not drip and apply
them to the throat; cover up the whole
with a flannel cloth and change them as
often as they become cool until the throat
becomes irritated near bIistering. For
children it is necessary 70 put a flannel
cloth between the ashes and the throat to
prevent blisteriug. When the aehes bave
been on a sufficient time, take wet cloth,
rub it with CASTLE soap until it is covered
with lather, dip it in hot wafer and apply
it TO the throat, change as they cool, at
the same time use a garglo made Of one
teaspoonful of Cayenne Pepper, one of
salt, and one of moIasses in u teacup full Of
hot water, aud when cool add one fourth
as much cider vinegar and gargle every
fifteen minutes until the patient requires
sleep. A gargle made of CASTLE soap is
good 10 be used part of the time.
