THE MONROE Decentralization
Monroe, in his message of December ID
1923, thus stated the doctrine which now
bears his name:
with the existing colonies or depen-
denotes of any European Power we have
not interfered, and shall not Interfere
But with the Governments who have de-
clared their independence and maintain
ed it, and whose independence we have,
on great consideration and on just prln-
cipfes, acknowledged, we could not view
any interposition for the purpose OF OPP
posing them, or controlling in any other
manner their destiny, by any European
Power, in any other light than as man.
Hesitation of an unfriendly disposition
toward the United States"

LOSE COUNTERFEIT ONE-DOLLAR
TREASURY NOTEs.-We mentioned, some
time since, the fact that countertelts of
the one-dollar Treasury notes had made
their appearance. We find, in the last
number of Paddock's Bank Mirror, the
following description of the same:
The green ink used in printing is
somewhat of lighter shade, and does
not give that clear and distinct impress
sion which is characteristic OF that used
in printing the genuine. The portrait of
Chase is coarse and dark, and shading OF
letters scratchy and blurred. Figures |

SAMBURG PORT w NE.-We have been
shown specimens of sacramental or pure
Juice wine, prepared by Mr.. Alfred speer,
of Passaic, \. j., out of the Portuguese
Samburg, a valuable grape which he cul-
tiyates in this country. In taste it as
similates to port without its heating
qualities, being absolutely free from
spirits further than its own fermentation
affords. Preference is given to it over
all other wines in New York and other
hospitals, as tonic, gentle stimuiant'

nine years experimenting in the produc-
ton of this wine, and the newest WINE

NEW MODE OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
France boasts the guillOtine, Cuba the
garrotte, Turkey the bow string, China
the sword. Other nations have other
modes of depriving criminals of their
lives. The United States, the greatest
ofnations, eclipses them all, and presents
to the world method of capital punish
ment which is not less ingenious than
terrible. 1t was reserved to US to startle
the Nineteenth Century by an invention
which surpasses alike the bowl the cord,
the headman's AK, the rack, the faggot
and the stake. It's victims are neither
hung, drawn, quartered, nor burned
alive. Their fate is swifter and far more
dreadful They are Joe HOlted to death

COUNTERFEIT FIFTY CENT PIECES
The new or long fifty cent notes are al
ready extensively counterfeited, The
paper is coarser and thicker than the
genuine, and on close inspection is blurr
ed and indistinct. The counterfeit may
he detected by glancing at the line of
stars between the figures 80" at the top
and bottom of the back of the note. The
stars on the countertel, have white cen
ters while the entire STAR on the genn-
inc are in green. The reading in black
on the face of the genuine note - c'onr
and distinct, while on the counterfeit
the bronze is printed on the G;trb, The
words FIFTY CENTS being almost oh.

overcome, however, and when the uol IS
become worn and dirty, will, no jon"i

No 9OUNTERFEITs on NATIONAL BANK
NoTEs-There is no truth in the report
in circulation in some parts of the coun-
try that the five dollar note of the Ma
tional banks had been counterfeited.-
After the first installment OF notes had
been issued to some five, or six OF the
banks first organized slight change was
made in the uttering and minor details
of the FIVE dollar notes, which accounts
for the variation now seen between the
fives first issued and subsequent ones.
There are no counterfeits of any of the
denominations of the national currency

is but lust to the authorities to state pos

No officer has been or is stationed iii his
cell He is allowed to take frequent
walks on the ramparts, and is permitted

his cell is guarded by a score or more OF
bayonets, that in his promenades he Is
attended 10y battalion of soldiers, and
that his diet is limited to the army ra-
tions, are as ridiculous as untrue The
treatment of jeff Davis is Christian-like

afford to bostow upon one who is no
