hnW They Do Il.

One of the lodges of those engaged
in pushing spurious money is to put
out blind in preparation for future
operations. The makers leave some
defect that may be easily removed.
The defect becoming thoroughly ad-
vertised, becomes a point of reference,
and when seen the bill is of course re-
fused. But a new issue is at once put
upon the market with the particular
defect Temedied, and on reference, if
fonnd all right, the note is taken as
genuine. Thus, in the case of the ap-
pearance of the counterfeit SO green
backs now ON the market, the public
were notified of the imperfect dots op-
pOsite the figure go" ON each end[of
the note, and the want of a period af-
ter the letter "E" in Spinner's
name. These have been corrected, as
they could readily be, by making the
required dots with a pen. The notes
now offered are perfect in these re-
spects, and the defects now supplied
having been made q test of genuine
ness, no doubt materially aid their
circulation.

An Elephant and a Bridge.

since, withdrawing from Waterbury

this mishap, and neither coaxing,
threats, persuasion nor force, could
induce him to bulge an inch on the,
to him, perilous structure. Nor does
it appear that his apprehensions were

ayers that they were dubious of the
capacity of the bridge to bear the
weight of the elephant, and that if
they crossed him they must do so at
their own risk, The morning was
rather chilly, and as they did not
wish to risk his health by swimming,
they concluded to make the venture.
The band chariot and an enormous
den of performing lions were started
on a head of him in order to give him
confidence, and when he saw that
they went safely over, he was induced
to follow. which he did very slowly,
