THE CoUNTERFErTER OF FIFTY CENT
FRACTIONAL CURRENoY.-The arrest of an
English engraver by the name of Charles j.
Roberts, for counterfeiting postal currency,
has already been mentioned by telegraph. The
Government detectives have been on his track
for six months, as be was regarded as an ex-
ceedingly skillful and most dangerous operator.
The last counterfeit plates which he made, and
which, in an indirect manner, led to his ar
rest, were copies Of the latest issue of fifty
cent postal currency. They are of steel, and
the impression from them is so beautiful and
perfect, as to be entirely indistinguishable from
tnat of the genuine plates. The detectives
are now in pursuit of confederate of Roberts,
ana they are quite confident of soon capturing
him. Since his incarceration Roberts has con-
fessed everything. He says the plate which
has been seized was intended for his final and
greatest effort. If the detectives had only
held off for another week, he would have made
100000, and been in Europe enjoying it. It
appears that for the last four years he has
been continually engaged in counterfeitine
notes on the various State banks and the
Treasury Department, but was never before
arrested ....

why Money Is Scarce.


To the Editor of the Press: .f'1
Why money is scarce is not, certainly, that
it is plenty, but because the volume of curren-
cy is practically diminishing. F
There are three reasons for the scarcity Of
money. One is the recent funding of $50,
100000 of the six per cent. compound interest
notes, and legal tenders, by the Secretary OF
the Treasury. Another is the diversion of a
large amount of the currency from the North
to the Southern States lately in rebellion, and
third cause is the gradual reduction of the
local currency. The city banks here, which
have become national banks, have had an inn
mense circulation of their old bank notes, in
addition to their legitimate circulation of ma
tional currency; and this must all be with
drawn by the first of July next, when there is
a penalty of ten per cent. upon all snch local
circulation, imposed by an act passed at the
last session of Congress-.
u The old International bank was the first
here to become national bank, and it has
had in circulation, since it became nation
al bank, probably $750,000 of International
bank bills, while its circulation of national
currency has been less than half million.
Now this must all be retired in about seven
months. Other national banks here have al
so circulated large amount Of their old cur
rency, but none of them SO large an amount
as the First National Sank. Already, proba-
bly,, our city banks have withdrawn from cir
culation nearly million of dollars, and this
withdrawing must go on till all their old local
issues are retired from circulation. In the
whole North there must be fifty or sixty mil
lions of old local bank circulation, which must
be and is being Withdrawn. Is there any
wonder, then, that the money market should
be close? E. T.

Extraordinary and Romantic Suicide IN
$ r e u the City Of Cincinnati.

Last evening, says the CINCINNATI Ga
zetta of Thursday, about seven O'Clock,
Master Frank Douglas, son of j. G.
Douglas, Esq, residing at No: 100
Fourtb street, committed suicide by
shooting himself through the heart with
a rifie.ball. ElIhe lad is hardly more
than sixteen years of age, and the affair,
when it became known. created, no little
CONSERVATION among the friends OF the
family. and also considerable excitement
in the neighborhood,. z. isri-r BIT
During the past month or two, he had
given his teacher some trouble, not be-
cause of any positive and malicious or
willful insubogdination, but merely
through certain freaks OF temper that
seemed not to be wholly understood. =
Last Tuesday, Mr.. Fillmore, his teach
er, gave him an exercise In grammar, TO
be recited yesterday, but upon appear
| ing in his place In the class, 1t became
apparent that he had neglected it en-
tirely; whereupon Mr.. sA.@G. Canadian,
the principal wrote a note to his father
stating that ii lie desired his son to pass
examination for the intermediate
Schools, it would be necessary to compel
him to attend more steadily to to his
duties, and inviting conference con-
corning the matter with the father.
MrFD. upon the receipt of this note,
had n conversation with the lad, IN
which he spoke-of the note, and told
him if lie did not change his
course, then a. change IN SCHOOLS
would be necessary, and threatened an
academy. where the rules would he stih
more strict and the duties more imperi-
tive than our public schools. This
wounded his feelings, and apparently
excited his Indignation, and leads US to
the task of showing the state OF his
mind at the time it took place.
An extremely pretty ana lady-hke
girl, about the age of the unfortunate
boy, long since attracted his attention
and became the object of his youthful
attachment. His courtesies to her were
so FREQUENT and marked that it became
| the gossip of the school yard, and came
| to the ear of his teacher, who remonstra-
| ted with him concerning 1T, pointing
tout the line which divided propriety
from improperly, and recommended a
change in his method of treating his
juvenile sweetheart. This course
was deemed the more necessary on ac-
count of the fact that the mother OF
the girl is of rather neutrality-suspicious.,
although nothing of this was limited to
the boy. zf rs -, :,
Since this occurred, the pride of the
girl had been aroused in some way, that
She put slight upon him that his IN
tense and petulanti spirit could not
brook. Smarting under this mortiflca-
t;on and while self-disQusted becaus G OF
having permitted himself to be thus hri-
inflated in the eyes of his school-mates,
came this second humiliation, and be
tween the two he determined on suicide.

WnoIe.a,e Exodus from canada.

That a wholesale emigration from
Canada, says the Montreal transcript,
to the neighboring States has set IN, is
painfulK evident from the reports that
reach Us from all parts OF the country.
Nearlyy every exchange that comes to
hand tells Of the rapid decrease ofpop-
ulation in Their resps ctive Localities, and
ali sorts of eonjectures are indulged in
81 To the cause Of the 'exo1rs. The
cause is, we think, obvious enough
scarcity of money, and consequent ina
bility. to afford employment to the peo-
pie.
There is a wide field in Canada for
productive labor, but the capital is
wanting, and general stagnation- is the
consequences. There is, of course, cap
ital in the country; but, unfortunately,
it is mostly in the hands OF men who
are destitute of the spirit of enterprise.
AS we have already said, however, there
are good prospects of favorable change.
'The country is at present 'under a
clorfd. nbut there is good reason to hope.
that the coming fall will witness great
change for the better.
1 The crops. 10 the failure of which in
past years is due in great measure the
general depression, everywhere give
promise of ala abundant yield; and u
the hopes of a bountifql harvest thls
wear are realized. the country will begin
to recover its formerx prosperity, ana
those whom the present f'hard
tines have driven away viii no doubt,
find II to their advantage to- return TO
the Province. Meanwhile the. fact
should be impressed upon our people
that. gloomy as things here'are at pres
emit. emigrants will fail to better their
condition bygoing to the United States.
where labor is already super-abundant.l
and thesprospects for the future are by
no means encouraging.

Curious DlseoyseeIry.-G GLASS may even

be turned in a lathe. Strange as it
seems, this is literally true, No special
tools iseyen are needed !, any amsteur
turner who has operated on, either of
the metals may chuck a piece OF glass
on his lathe, and turn it with the same
tools, and in the same way, as he would
a piece OF steel, only taking care to
keep the chips rom his eyes. This
strange discovery was made, almost ac-
cidentally, in the early part of 1885, by
one of our most celebrated mechanical
engineers, and might have been patent-
ed, but the inventor contented himself
with merely putting1t on, record, and
generously presented it, 10 the nation.
The consequence was, that no one cared
or thought about it, and the idea has
been suffered to lie nearly barren, tho
capable of being turned to great ac-
count. Let any amateur mechanic
make. the experiment. and ne VAL be
surprised at the ease With which this
seemingly 'intractable material may be
cut and fashioned according to ms viii.
