CoUNTERFEIr NATIONAL CuARENcY.-A
new and dangerous imitation OF the five
dollar note, national currency, has quite
recently been put afloat In New York and
otherr cities. The engraving Is said to be
finely executed, and the bill, in the main,
/ well calculated to deceive. In the 0eapine,
the group Of Columbus and his compan-
ions is composed of foe persons; in the
counterfeit there are but four persons--the
one in the background at the extreme end,
and the most obscure figure in the group
Is missing. In the counterfeit, also, the
extended arm OF Columbus is without
hand. Bills of this description on five
different banks have already appeared, and
others will doubtless follow. These flves
are on the Fifth National Bank of the City
Iof New York, and the First National Bank
ofthe following places; Washington, Dis
trict of Columbia; Scranton, Pennsylva-
pia; Cairo Illinois,; Boston, Massachusetts,.

MENTAL AND MANUAL LABoR..-Prof.
lloughton, of Trinity College, Dublin, has
published some curious chemical computa-
tons, respecting the relative amount Of
pi ysical exhaustion produced by mental
and manual labor. According to these
chemical estimates. two hours of severe
mental study abstract from the human sys-
TEN as much vital strength as is taken
h"m it by an entire day Of nero hard
work. This fact, which seems to rest upon
strictly sc en'iGe laws, shows, that the men
who d" brain work should be careful first,
not over-task themselves by too continuous
exer'ion, and secondly, that they should
not omit to take physical exercise each
day sntlicieut TO restore the equilibrium be-
tween the nervous and muscular system.

LOUIS NAPOLEON.

AN EARLY INCIDENT IN Ills CAREER.
Lord Leuuox tells the following story Of
his introduction, ma"v years ago, to the
French Empor-r, Which shows that Louis
has not forgotten all the friendship shown
to bm while IL" exile m ortcnst from his
native land :-"Soou alter Inc Prince ar.
rived IN London, lie was followed by
p"gnac'ons Fren"hman, who for some pub
lie grievance or private pique WAS anxious
to Tx quarrel upon him. A challenge
ensued, aud the Princes foe was locked
upon as an expert shot with pistols. Al.
though brave as lion, Napoleon felt that
he ought not to throw away chance, and
named the broad-sword as his weapon.
This led to some discussion. Lieut.. Col.
Radcliffe, the French chalIengcr's second,
hrld commission in the Innlskillin Dra-
moons, regiment which had recently been
commanded by my brother George; and
anxious, upon SO important an occasion. to
consult friend as tc the line he ought to
take, he requested Louis Napoleon to allow
him half an hour to consider the matter.
With-ths view he called upon my brother,
who was then lodging in the same house,
and asked for me. lie narrated the cir
cumstance, and at once took u,on nj feelf
to say tha, ,u"questionably the Prince, be-
ing the challenged parry, had @ right to
maine the weapons. Radcliffe adopted nv
suggestion, aud lie duel was arranged to
take place with, swords On Wimbledon
Common. The combatauts me. the,. at
sev"n. o'clock. on the Sd Of March, 1910,
but tue police interfered, and all parties
concerned were taken to Bow street. The
principals were released on entering into
their own recognisances of 9500 eaoh and
one security each of the same amonpt.
Hearing that had advised the use of the
sword, Louis Napoleon expressed much
gratitude to me, and to this slight cause I
was indebted for an acquaintance of mos,
friendly nature, which brought about many
aocis' meetings, And, since this was writ.
len, have to acknowledge further result
