COUNTERFEIT Ten DOLLAR NoTEs. new
counterfeit ten dollar bills which have created SC
great an excitement among bankers and United
States treasurers, it is said are the finest executed
counterfeits ever thrown upon the community. A
description of the counterfeit from Washington,
says:
"At first glance they seem to be a perfect imita-
ton of the SO greenback, and the printing seems
to have been done from the original plate, bat
there are popts of difference which are thus noted
In the original the shading around the 10 in the
medallion appears like fine network, and runs
close up to the figures. In the counterfeit note
this shading is picked up and becomes coarse as
it reaches the figures, forming a light streak or a
circular haze similar to that about the moon before
rain. There is NO haze in the genuine note. This
is slight point for detection. A clearer one is
the fact that in the original notes, within the light
circle running under the figures 10, there are three
and third dots on the left of the figure |. Ia
the counterfeit bill the one third dot is missing.
But an nfallible mark Of distinction is found un'
der the left wing of the eagle. In the gehaipe
notes are four distinct rows of feathers under the
wing In the counterfehs these rows of feathers
are underlined, and this seems to be the only weak
spot in the whole engraving

TIE WEALTH OF RoTnsCmLD.- We bcicv

TIE WEALTH OF ROTHsCIHLD.-We believe
that it was John Jacob Astor who said that
I" the only difficulty i'll accumulatlnE fortune
was to get the first pillOn, and after that money
multiplied itself" The genius which some few
men have for turning everything which they
touch to gold is something amazing, and when
we read Of such fortunes as that left by the late
Baron James dc Rothschild, the old story OF
Midas begins to lose Its fabulous aspect. De
Quincy once discourSed about Murder as a
fine art, and an even more interesting essay
might be written with the title, p" money get
ting as a science" The Rothschilds have en-
deavorcd not only to increase their wealth, but
to retain it solely in their own family, aud the
united fortunes Of those who bear the name
would amount to u sum that would almost stag
ger belief.
The late Baron James de Rothschild be-
oueathed to his wife Betty $4,000, 900, the
Chateau Ferriere, which contains an art collcc-
ton valued at more than $4,000, 900, and also
his magnificent house III the Rue Lailtte, at
Paris His eldest son, AdOlphus, succeeds to
the largest share Of the estate, and his portion
is estimated at something like Sl00,0O0,OOO.
The second son, GuStavuS, gets SIC, 900, 900 :
and the third son, Edmund, 0,OO0,O0O. To
his grandson, the son of the late Solomon
Rothschild, the Baron bequeathed the compar-
atively insignificant amount Of $4,000, coo.
There were a number Of other legacies, but
these alone amount to $224, ,O0o,OO0. 1t is
hardly possible to form an estimate Of such a
sum Of money as this, and the question natur-
ally suggests Itself-What good did it do the
possessor? Beyond a certain amount, wealth
can do nothing towards procuring the means Of
enjoyment in life, and the care of such all I'M
mense fortune must entail lahOrs that few mer
would be able to bear. The late Baron Roths
child had the reputation of being charitable to
the poor of his ncighborhood; and when We
consider the depths of poverty that exist in
Europe, and the amount of human suffering
that the possessor of such an amount of wealth
had it in his power to alleviate, it is to be hop
ed, for the credit of his memory, that his char
| tiles were as extensive as they should be III
proportion to his abilities. .-L1haa 1eE

POeI1Y.
THE GOLDEN SIDE.

There is many a rest in the road of life,
If we only would stop and take it;
And many tone from the better land,
il the queruOus heart would make it!
To the sunny soul that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faieth,
The grass is green and the flowers are bright,
Though the Wintry storm preYaileth.
Better to hope, though the clouds hang low,
And to keep the eyes still lifted;
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through,
When the omnous clouds rifted
There never night without day,
Or an evening without u morning;
And the darkest hour tie proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawnng.
There is many gem in the path of life,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled crown,
Or the miser's boarded treasure;
1t may be the love of a little child,
Or a mothers prayers to heaven,
Or only beggar's grateful thanks,
For cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web of life
bright and golden filling,
And to do Gods will with ready heart,
And hands that swift and willing,
Than to snap the delicate, minute threads
Of our curious lives asunder,
And then blame Heaven for the tangled ends,
And sit and gricye and wonder.

A good many of tho Washington corrospon-
dents have taken to opening their ideas on
almost every conceivable subject, with the
romark, General Grant said " SO and so; or
Gen. Grant thinks" so and SO; Or = Gen.
Grant is understood to believe" so and so.-
Hardly any Of these correspondents ever agre1
in attributing to him the same opinion on y
giycn point, and whenever such statements ire
S% Brought P before @ him, he nearly always denies
their authenticity. 1t is hardly worth while,
therefore, for anybody to try to influence legis-
lation or the public Judgment, by pretending
to quote Grant as for or against any given
measure.
