Horrors Of Civil War on the BOr'
der.

People greatly mistake who suppose that
Oh or near the line between Kansas and Mis-
souri, the question is any longer one of Union
or ,iisunon. The real question is rather who
has any property left to he stolen or any
throat to be cut Rascals and ruffians of
all hues-cclected from every part of the
United States, and probably from some
parts of Europe-abound all through the
border county. They are mere robbers
and murderers, but disguise their character
under some thin mask-sOmetime of seces-
sionsm and sometimes of Unionsm. 1t
might be interesting to contrast a census
(supposing one could be taken) Of the pres
ent Eumber of inhabitants in the Missouri
border counties with a register Of the num-
Der three years ago. Desolation and deser-
ton are printed in the saddest colors all over
that ravaged tract of country. The Mssou-
ri border having been pretty thoroughly laid
waste, the brgands are now paying their at
tcntion to the Kansas border. The mcrch-
ants caravans on the Santa Fe trail hold out
strong temptations to these rascals, who va
ry their occupation of robhing stores, burn
ing houses, and numbering pcaceabe settlers
in Kansas, by assaultng and robbing the
trains to New Mexico. A home in the range
of the Bcd6uin Atabs would be about as safe
and agreeable as one in this border country
1t would seem that it must take some lime
and the most stringent maasur s of a fear
less government before that country can be
again the fit abode of cvilizod man.-S.

A New Use for Carriers.

A lady has displayed a new method
of shoplif'ing. She went into one of the
great silk MERGERS in New York, and
going up to sheepish looking man behind
a deserted counter, told him she had the
misfortune to drop her garter, and that:
in consequence, her stocking was falling
over her foot she requested him to ac-
commodate her with peico of red tape
and to allow her to put it on behind the
counter. The young man. blushing
crimson, instantly gave her the tape,
and in the most respectful manner vaca-
ted the dark side of the counter, and left
the lady, who at once helped herselfto
silk dress, which she tied under her
crinoine with the tape. She then came
forward and thanked the civil shopman
and vanished. When tho man retured
to his quarters he found the dress gone,
and instantly knew he had been rot bed +,
but too latc-the garter lady was out of
light.

Dangerous Coin In Circulation.

In consequence Of the absence of gold,
opportunity has been afforded experts to
manufacture large quantities Of filed coin
which is said to be pretty we'll circulated
in this and other cities. The resum mption
of payment of custom duties in gold, in
. consequence of the scarcity of the de-
mand notes has brought out the false
coin in company with the genuine and
the counterfeits are so well made that
none but experts can detect them. We
are informed that many of the banks
have received and paid this bad issue;
brokers take and sell it, aud it IS sent to
the Custom house to pay duties, without
CRU inal knowledge or intent. The pro-
portion of the fled coin now in use is not
large, as compared with the genuine
currency, but it is nevertheless true that
few Of the men handling it know wheth
er the coin is genuine or not, and the
uninitiated cannot possibly detect the
work of the tamperers.
At the Custom. house, the filed pelces
are sent in for payment of duties, while
the rejection OF number of them in one
day is not uncommon. The discovery
of these peces is followed Immediately
by cutting them in halves with chisel,
when they are returned to their owners.
who, of conrse, replace them with good
coin.
The system of filing, as now practiced,
is said to have originated some years ago
in California, and was first detected in
England in the process of melting the
coin. The business is now, if possible,
more carefully, and more extensively
conducted. The process is to split the
coin, to take from the centre one.third
to one-half, and, some cases, larger
proportion of the gold, which is carefully
weig ghed, and an equal amount of platina,
or alloy of platina, of an inferior quality
put in its place-in what manner is not
precisely understood. The sides of the
coin are then closed, the edge is remilled
and the whole of the work is so accu-
rately done that not only the weight of
the pece remains unchanged, but the
size remains the same or so nearly the
same that the difference is not percepti-
Bile; and what is more singular, the ring
is perfectly clear. This test, therefore,
which is generally employed to detect
spurious coin is quite useless, although
some experts think they can by this
means observe and detect tbe filled
peices. The milling of the coin most
frequently reveals its character.
At the present rate of premium, six to
seven dollars worth of gold can be taken
from a ten dollar piece, while the filling
is estimated to be worth four dollars per
ounce-one- fifth perhaps of the metal
distracted.
The skill with which the fraud is com
mitted constitutes its danger; but it is by
no means likely that any large proper
ton of our gold coin will be thus debased

ever TO be oblterated from memory
Every object about that shrine OF oul
childhood has an association, tale, or
memory, that we love to liuger fresh and
green about our hearts. This idea Is
most ftringIy expressed by Woodwork
in these words
How dear to this heart are the scenes OF my
childhood,
When fond recollection recall them tc view
The orchard, the meadow, the deep-tangIeo
wildwood,
And every loved spot whichmy infancy knew
Heaven designed that Home should be
be cherished spot and man would be
untrue to all the hiLher and nobler in
stincts of his nature, if it were not so
The last passion which grows cold in the
human breast is the love of kindred and
home. Even the savage. dead to sym
pathy as is his heart for the white man,
cherishos an idolatrous reverence for his
hunting grounds and graves of his fore
fathers. This sacred principal of vener-
alton for home and its cherished objects
runs all through the lower and higher
grades of society. 1t obtains as much
in the humble cottage of the poor and
unlettered, as in the splendid mansions
of the opulcnt and the great.
And why should it not be so? 1t was
the re we we're born there we spent the
days and mingled in the well-remembered
scenes of our childhood. With such hol =
and ballowiug memories attaching to
that sacred place, why should we not
love and cherish it? Why should not
mellowing, soul touching influences play
arouud our hearts, when
"Fond memory brings the light
OF other days arOud u.s."
The sentiment is universally received 4,
that "there's no place like home" We
conclude our extracts from the poets on
home, by giving the beautiful touches of
an anonymous bard upon this subject
"I've wandered through many cline where
flowers OF beauty grew
Where all was blssful to the heart and lovely
| to the view
I've seen them in their twilight pride and in
their dress of morn,
! But none appeared Sc sweet 10 me as the spot
where was born

/ QUEER THINGS We know lazy, shift
