counterfeit Ten.DoIIar Notes.

The new counterfeit ten dollar bills
which have created so great an excite
ment among bankers and United States
tressurers, it is said, are the finest exc
cuted counterfeits ever thrown upon the
community. A description of the coun-
terfeit from Washington says:
At first glance they seem to be per-
feet imitation of the $40 greenbsok, and
the printing seems to have been done
from the original plate, but there are
points of difference which are thus noted /;
In the original the shading around the 10
iu the medallion appears like a foe net
work 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 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 circles running under the figures
10, there are three and q third dots on
the left Of the figure !. In the counter
felt bill the one-ihird dot is missing But
on iDfalIible 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 coun.
lerfeits these rows of feathers are Hnde-
fined, and this seems 10 be the only weak
spot IN the whole engraving.

Lord and Master.
From tho Chicago Tribune. Ausust1.l


From the Chicago Tribune. August IL
Louis Hansel, who has a saloon in St.
Louis, arrived here some days since look
ing out for new place of business. He
had left his wife ct home and thousand
dollars in bank. He perambulated the
streets of Chicago, and looked out for o
good place to set up business in, and in
dulged pleasant day dreams Of future
happiness, when his wife, his baby, and
his beer should be rescued from st.
Louis, and he be aourishing like q green
bay horse. A week passed pleasantly
enough, land he was about to consummate
bargain, when he received letter from
his wife. 1t was written in the vernacu-
lar of Goethe and Schiller. The follow
ing is literal translation:
ST.. Lsuis. July rs. 1869.
Ny dear Louis, the darling of my heart
and soul, am in great distress; and to
whom am to fly in my hour of misery,
and in whom am | to confide if not in
my ewn sweet Louis. / have not slept
nights since you left, for ] hear that
Chicago is not the safest place for 9 man
whose wife is in St. Louis, and cannot
keep him in her eye. This is merely
preliminary, so as to gently break the
news of great misfortune whic has be-
fallen us. Beer sells WE'LL / have not
the heart to tell you what / refer to.
The baby ia well. Oh how can / break
the sad news 10 you? / am in good
health. The fact is that | drew the
money from the bank, so as to have it
near me, and last night two "niggers" "
broke into the house, and threatened to
kill r,e if l did not fork over. Knowing
you would rather lose it than me, / let
them have il. Can't you send me $500
of what you took with you to pay for
beer. Your impecunious wife,
KATHRIYA.
The letter was sumner. 1t knocked
Louis prospects out of time. He tele.
graphed to the detectives at 81. Louis to
hunt up the thieves. They telegraphed
back that no such robbery had taken
place. Louis began to smell an enor-
nous rodent. He sent for further par
ticulars. He was informed that bis
saloon was closed; that the "stock in
trade had been sold out; that his two
year old baby was in the hands of
friend, and that his wife had taken the
thousand dollars and another man and
ran away with both. That was the un-
kindest cut of all. He felt awfully cut
up about it.
The only information he could gather
about the gay Lothario who had wooed |
and won his faithless frau, was that he
was young and handsome. He was also
informed that, supposing he would return
to St. Louis after hearing Of tho robbery,
his tickle spouse and her paramour had
shaken St. Louis dust from their pedal
extremities and had started for this city.
In the hopes Of catching them, poor, for
lorn and forsaken Louis placed the case
in the hands of detective Schumsn, who
is now busy working it up. Meanwhile
Louis feels bad BE has not been used
to such things. A wife never ran away
from him before. He has not lived in
Chicago. gts

Colonel Henry w. Sawyer, who has

Federal prisoners in Libby Prison, at the
time when the Confederate Government

Western Generals. Mr., Sawyer was at
that time a Captain in The First New

Of the prisoners at that time was kind

From the Paducah Kentuckian. 2Sth.l
A short distance from this city there
has long REF sed an old gentleman of
most estimso,e character and more than
ordinary religious feeling. On numer-
Gus occasions his singular prescience of
events has startled his friends and per-
sons skeptcsl of what their senses could
not comprehend. Two weeks ago, this
gentleman being in bis usual health, pre-
dicted approaching earthquakes and dis
asters OF the most tremendous character,
and concluded his revelation by the an
nouucement that they would know him
to be true prophet from this, that he
himself would certainly die exactly at
four o'clock on Thursday, July 22d.
Anxiously the friends awaited the hour
thus designated. Thinking that it might
be hallucination that deception would
cure, they set the clock forward, but in
in vain, for exactly at four o'clock on
last Thursday, the prophet hreathed his
last. The event has caused a profoud
sensation among wide circle Of people
10 this section, and many are In painful
apprehension Of coming disasters. An
other circumstance has strengthened
their fears. 1t seems that Miss Caroline
Godsey, the champion sleepist, who has
scarcely been awake for fourteen years,
aud after successful exhibitions in many
places, died recently near Hickmanj ust
previous TO her death, made similar pre-
dictions of coming disasters aud earth
quakes. When the shock occurred on
Sunday night, and when bright, blazing
meieors, apparently as large as the moon,
and with an efulgence riyaling that Of
the sun, lighted up this ssetlon of the
country On i've successive nights, there
was profound alarm, but as yet the skies
are as bright, the waters as unrufHe the
air as balmy and as genial, and oil nature
as lovely as at any time within our reool-
faction. 4

The personal Police of an Emperor.

The Paris correspondent of the New
York Times, in alluding to the enthusi-
asm manifested at the recent reception
given the French Emperor on the Boule-
wards, says:
must again repeat what / stated in
one of my former letters, that great
deal of the enthusiasm manifested on
that occasion was manufactured. Along
the line of the Boulevsrds we're statioed
at intervals groups of police in plain
clothes, who did nearly all the cheering,
and otherwise tried TO impart q stimulus
to the crowd. l do not know whether
you are aware of the fact that the Gov
ernmeut has in its pay body Of twelve
hundred men, who precede or accom-
pany the Imperial family on all its expe'
ditions. They receive about two dollars
per day besides their travelling expenses,
and they continually change their dis
euises. so as to avoid observation. Their
business is to prepare for the reception
of their Msjesties, to get up an enthusl-
asm when the population is discontented
or Indifferent, to watch for the first evi-
dence of plots against the life of the En-
peror, and to surround his person when
they have reason to apprehend that sn
attempt is about to be made against u.
The force is quite distinct frem what is
called the Secret Police, aud has q sepa-
rate organization and chief of it's own.

A RAT STORY-HOW AN EDITOR WAS
SOLD.

We presume every body and his wife
hereabouts is tolerably well acquainted
with the inyincible and irrepressible
Jeemes Shoaff, the enterprising editor
of the Magnet. This morning while
Jeemes was sadly musing over the
scarcity of local items, the tenure-of-of-
flee law, and the mutabiiity of human
affairs in general, man entered his Of
flee almost in breathless haste, and told
him that robber had been killed last
night in house situated in the edge of
the city-that he wanted him to come
along, as the affair would prove big
sensation" for his paper. Jeemes pulled
on his coat in twinkling. rushed down
stairs, and, after q mutual 'smile," ac-
companied his informant i'll pursuit of
midnight adventures under difficulties.
On they trudged, and despite the re-
monstrances of Jeemes at the length Of
the journey, they never halted until
they stopped at farm house about half
way between Decatur and Forsyth. On
entering the yard the guide pointed to
the corpse of huge rat ''There lies
the remains" said he, solemnly, "of the
midnight marauder." Jeemes was
dumbfounded-was inclined to be in
dignant; but finally ''smelt rat" and
remembering that it was the first dav of
April, he wendell his way back to the
city, very tired and awful muddy. Just
say "rats ~ to Jeemes and see if he will
not try to change the subject.-Decdtur
