Ea1A1 CONTRIBUTIONS Monsieur dRARD, the
yender Of India rubber balloons, has pariotically
determined to dispose OF the proceeds Of one days
sales for the sick and wounded soldiers. This
plan has met with the appreciation Of Mrs. NJ. A.
sNowpEN, the President Of tthe Ladies Memorial
Association, and all who now want balloons, or
may, at some future time, should Immediate
1y invest with Monsieur GRARD. His motive is to
attract attention to some sick and wounded Con-
federates now under the care Of Mrs. sNowDEN,

Bro ScARE,-A guest in one Of the prominent
hotels received considerable scare % Jew morn,
ing's since, on finding his pocket-oook and con-
ten,s missing. The alarm was soon given and the
premises searched, but the lost notes we're not
found until the services Of the Detectives had been
obtained, when the pocket-book was discovered
safely ensconced between the mattresses where the
owner had placedit before retiring. Both the un-
fortunate boot-black, who had borne the brunt OF
the suspicion and the owner Of the regained green
backs were delighted at the discovery, and She as
tute Detectives wore rewarded for their sagacity
in tracing that which was not lost. The payment
of some of the notes had been stopped, and it was
necessary for the owner to establish his identity
before the Bank would acknowledge their genuine
ness. Few scares have SO happy termination,
and tho 'lost found" soon allayed tne turmoil in
the losers breast.

How TO DETECT CoUNTERFEITs.-l. Examine the

neat appearance
. Examine the vignette, picture in the top
see if the sky or background is clear and transparent
or soft and ever, and not scratchy.
3. Examine well the faces see if the expressions
are distinct and easy natural and lte-ike particularly
the eyes
A. See if the drapery dress fits WELL looks natural
and easy, aud shows the folds distinctly
5. Examine the medallion, ruling aud heads and
circular ornaments around the figures, etc See IT
they are regular smooth and uniform, not scratchy.
This work in the genuine looks as if raised on the
paper, and cannot be perfectly initiated.
6 Examine the principal line of letters or name OF
the bank See if they all upright, perfectly true
and even or if slopng, of uniform slope.
T. Carefully examine the shade or parallel ruling on
the face or outside of the letters, etc. see # it is clear
and looks as if co!ored with brush. The parallel
lines in the genuine of equal size smooth and even
counterteits look as if done with file
8. Observe the round handwriting engraved on the
bill which should be black equal in size and distance,
of uniform slope, and smooth. This is in genuine
notes invariably well done and looks very perfect In
counterfeits it is seldom So but often looks stiff, as If

g. Notice the imprint of engraver's name, which is
always near the border end of the note and always
alike; letters small and upright and engraved very
perfectly. Counterfeiters seldom do it we'll

DRYING SWEET PoTAToEs.-A very commendable
idea is that suggested by the Rev. &. X. Marshall
through the columns of the Vicksburg Times, in the
shape of an inquiry, accompanied with plausible de-
ducons and addressed to planters and scientific men,
thus
Cannot sweet potatoes, which soil and climate
are so wonderfully adapted to produce be cut up into
slices say an inch thick and dried and so dried that
they may be made, in that condition, an article OF
merchandise? Apyes, peaches, tomatoes and many
other fruits and vegetables dried and prepared for
Shipment and are valuable crops If sweet patatoes
can be so dried preserve the matter they contain,
and then cooked and made article Of food OF fair
oualtp if not near agreeable the undried root
in its best condition for use, they would pay as hand
somely as any product Of Southern soil
| A steam-tight house, in which $500 bushels might
be dried at once could be put up in given neighbor-
hood and the potatoes dried for toll corn is ground
at mlI and simple apparatus could be constructed
bv which the potatoes could be cut with the greatest
| speed desirable
It may also be borne in mind that the places where
these esculents grow in the greatest abundance are
generally from the best modes Of transportation
the soils poor for other growh and the people geaer
ally poor In such districts the potato is raised, and
could be raised at so small cost as to admit OF the
use of sugar in the drying and curing process, and
possibly produce good aud valuable article OF Vege
table food for all parts of the world.
IF this can be successfully accomplished, the sweet
potato crop Of tue South might become as valuable as
one-half Of her cotton crop formerly was
Some scientific might turn bis Inventive genius

The Boston Post Of recent date, intimates that there
is danger that the Radical leaders will steal the
thunder of the Western Democrats, who propose to
pay off the public debt with greenbacks. 1t says:
General Butler openly proposes to redeem the debt
with the proceeds Of new long loan, bearing cur
rency interest," instead of gold interest. With his
recently expressed views Oh this subject all are per-
ecy familiar. So long ago 1861, Thaddeus Ste
vens, the Radical leader in Congress, took open
ground on the floor Of the House in favor of paying
thc Government bonds in paper; and the Radicals i'll
that body themselves put out of the way resolution
which introduced, pedging their ultimate payment
in gold. Mr.. Stevens, in answering question put to
him in the debate, remarked that no who will
carefully read the law, "can possibly come to any
other conclusion than that tie principal Of these fire.

-" These bonds made payable in money, in the
express terms of the law; aud if legal tender is
money, then they are payable in that"

COUNTERPART BoNDs-An individual whose relations
the Printing Division Of the Treasury Department
for long time past has been such to entitle his
statements to full belief said to day that he had been
pursuing certain mysterious clues that had come to his
notice in the Treasury and had excited his suspicion
that something going forward that would not bear
public inspection. This person states that he is salts
fed that the plates of the counterfeit one thousand
dollar bonds were executed in the Department itself
According to his explanation impressions lead were
taken from the original plates of the and SERIES and
from these impressions the plates engraved in
secret manner within the Department. The fact that
the plates engraved from Impressions taken from
the originals he says accounts for the slight naccurn
cies of the counterltits In making these disclosures,
the Superintendent of the Printing Division Of the
Treasury is charged with any completely in the
matter as, it is alleged that the engraving was exc
cutcd without his knowledge. 1t is only stated that
the superintendent together with other prominent Of
cers of the Department. have discovered all the facts
in the case and are endeavoring to keep them from
the public. cannot absolutely vouch for the truth of
the foregoing charges, but they through chan
mel so apparently trustworthy that deem it my duty
to give them to the public.
There are many points of difference in the counter
felt notes which Mr. S NJ Clark, chief of the Printing
Bureau. did not deem necessary to include in his re-
port to the Secretary of the Treasury, there being
many Of them, of which, in addition to the others
heretofore mentioned, may be OF service in detecting
the false ISSUE In the counterfeit notes the lines
forming the right shoulder of the female in the CEN
tral vgnete do not come up to the sword bat leave

only more numerous, but they come clearly and dis
tinctly up to the sword. So far as discovered the

about seventy thousand dollars worth OF the spurious
notes. Herald
