THE PROCEEDINGS or THE
BOIRD.

The report of the proceedings Of the
Board Of Mayor and Aldermen, in
another column, are interesting. From
it we learn that the Mayor has been
refused leave Of absence, and will have
to await the issue Of the Investigations
of the Grand Jury of the Criminal
Court. Evidently, from this, the Al
dermen mean fight, and that the an
tagonism existing between them and
the Mayor is not TO be readily recon-
ciled. They will find their match in
LEFTwICH. This refusal of leave Of
absence will reinvigorate him, and he
Will now treat them without mercy.
We also learn that the Little Rock
railroad stock has been seized, and is
to be sold to-day to satisfy a debt of
1880. We have no idea that the
Mayor and Finance Committee will
permit such a thing. They ought and
viii, we believe, use every power OF
persuasion and finesse of which they
are capable, to prevent it. Beside
the disgrace of the thing, the result
would be disastrous and a triumph for
those whose greed has long inspired
them with the most covetous designs
upon the city's railroad stock.

SPURIOUS.
GENUINE.

But an infallible mark of distinction is
found under the left wing Of the eagle.
In the genuine notes are four distinct
rows of feathers under the wing. In the
counterfeits these rows Of feathers are
underlined, and this seems to be the only
weak spot in the whole engraving.
The dots after the initials of Spinrer's
name arc no surety OF the genuineness
of the note. Some of the counterfeits
have these dots, and some have not. 1t
would be an easy matter to place these
dots on the counterfeit plate.
The first counterfeit purport,d to be
of the new series, No. So, letter d, but
there are others. Mr.. Brady had one
marked No. %, letter d, with small
figure under the D. lie thinks this
counterfeit has been printed from DIFF
ierent plate from that first issued. We
think not. The only difference between
the two nnuntase.;t .eioS IS that So has
no periods after Spinner's Initials, and 20
has.
1t is rumored that Mr.. Spinner will
order tho destruction of the original
plates and the issue Of new notes, but
we have no positive information on that
point.

Gloomy prophets feared that under Grant

Thus far it seems more likely that Beau

THE SPURIOUS "TENs.Y
How to Detect Them---An InfailibIe
Test.


Mr.. Brady, of the stamping depart
ment in the New York post office, has
shown two specimens of the counterfeit
$40 bills which have been creating so
much excitement among bankers and the
United States treaserers. The bills are
certainly the finest executed counlerfeits
ever thrown upon the New York Mar
ket. At first glance, they seem to be q
perfect imitation of the $40 greenback,
and the printing seems TO have been
done from the original plate. But Mr..
Brady has discovered points invaluable
to those handling money. The folding
of the countefeits and tho matching of
the ends, as described by the SIMS
Washington correspondence, is no guage
Of genuineness. The borders of the
counterfeits match as well as the borders
of the original paper. The engravings
of the border is just as good if not bet
ter, than the engraving on the genuine
notes.
In the original the sailing around the
10 in the medallion appears like fine

ures, forming light streak or circular
hazs similar to that about the moon be-
fore rain. There is no haze in the genuine
note. This is slight point for detection
A clearer one is the fact that in the orig
inRl notes, within the ligh: circle, running
under the figures 10, there nre three and
a third dots on the left of the figure | =.
In the counterfeit bill the one third dot
is missing. The following diagrams will
explain the difference:

Know When Your Time Comes.

You are beautiful to day; many wor-
ship you. You will wake up some morn
ing and find your beauty gone, and wor.
shippers kneelng at other shrines. You
have power to day-so much it seems to
you that the world. your world at least,
could not get on without you. Some day
you will come suddenly to the knowledge
that your power has gone, your burdens
have dropped upon other shoulders, your
honors are worn by other men; and the
world, even your world gets on without
you. Life offers no lesson to mortals so
hard TO learn, no lesson hiding in its truth
so keen q sting to self love as this, that
your prime has passed, and that you must
make room for others, that the flower of
your beauty, the flower of your genius are
in their decline; that you must wait in
the shadow, while the younger bask in
the splendor that you have left behind
How few are even willing to admit that
their time has come 10 learn it. Thus it
is that we see SO many women refusing TO
grow old gracefully. Instead of wearing
their years as crown, mellow and beau
tifrl in the light of their declining sun.
they deck gray hairs and wrinkles with a
hideous counterfeit of youth. This is why
we see writers writing on regulations
which they have ceased to have anything
to say, except to repeat what they said
better years and years ago. This is why
we see men once in power, still imagining
themselves important, and in garrulous
and important speech invoking the ghost
of dead reputation in the councils of
younger men.

The JAPANESE THROUGH A FRENCH
MANS EYES "A recent French traveller
says: Unlike other eastern people,
there is something about the japanese
that is congenial to the Europeans. Hay
ing spent some years in Japan, with op.
portuni,ies of official position to observe
the higher classes, we pronounce them in
no way our interiors. The men are Dig
nfed, well educated, exceedingly polite,
brave and full Of ingenuity. The women
have refined deicacy, very pretty forms
and features, and very winning address.
They are scrupulously neat in their per-
sons and in their housekeeping. Their
accomplishments are quite up to our stan
dard. They are healthy, frugal, and
very afectionate. In any of the refined
circles of the capitals of Europe we know
hundred japanese ladies who would
command their own choice Of husbands.
Not only is it their personal charms that
would be admired, but these in the eye
of matrimony would be endorsed by the
absence of the expensive habits that. in
our own bellies, interpose so terrible an
obstacle to marriage"

German Influence i'm America.

The New York German journals con-
tain communication from an eminent
German to the German citizens of the
metropolis, urging them to unite to pro-
mote the intellectual interests of the Ger.
mans in this country. The communica-
ton probably embodies the views of the
large masses of the more intellectual
Germans. He says:
German science, literature, art and ed
ucatiou, have won the esteem of the CIV
iIized world. The most prominent think
ers, scholars and artists of all countries
acknowledge the bentfit they have de-
rived from the study of the German Ian
guage and an acquaintance with the clas-
steal and scientific literature of Germany.
The cultivated families of America not
only require their children to learn Ger
man, but, when opportunity offers, en-
trust their education to German teach
ers. Hundreds of young Americans an.
nuaIly cross the ocean to perfect their
education, not at the schools of England
and France, but ut the Universities of
Germany. New York, in regard to the
number of its German inhabitants. is
the third largest German city in the
world; yet (and it is shame to us).

rents in the streets who are totally igno-

What respect can educated Americans
have for Germans who are so little ac-
quainted with their own language and
the treasures of profound know ledge
which the literature of Germany contains
