MUTILATED CURRENCY The United
States Treasury has adopted certain
rules for the redemption OF mutilated
currency; one of which il to pay not
It's full nominal value, but hut in pro-
portion to the quantity of superficial
surface presented for redemption. The
propriety of this rule Is founded on its
necessity as the means of protecting
the Government against fraudulent
mutilatiOns of the currency. Were
fractional parts taken as the representa-.
tive of the full value of the note To
which they belong, all the currency
would soon be presented in the mutt
lated form, thus subiecting the dow
eminent TO two or more redemption OF
the same note. The discount on the
currency up 10 the present time
amounts to Sls8, G93, rs a saving TO the
Government, and an equal loss to its
holders. -Lynchburg Repu5iicGn.

A SINGULAR FACT.-An iron tube
has been sunk fifteen feet through the
constantly shifting sands of the Cape
fifteen or twenty feet from high-water
mark, and not more than three feet
above it, and the water in this tube
rises and falls with the tide; yet,
strange to say, although more than
one hundred barrels of water Lave
been pumped from it Mt one time, the
matter is all fresh, and the slightest
trace OF saline taste Is preceptil lie in it,,
Indeed, so excellent is the quality Of
the water that outgoing vessels supply
themselves with water from this well.
Here is an evidence of one of those
freaks of Nature which seem ineXpli-
cable to our mortal understanding, but
which is in reality ample enough-ifwe
could but comprehend it.-NeW Yorh

SWITCHES AND CHIGNoSs.-The re-
cent revelations about "jute" the
dark, iibrous bark, resembling hemp
wherewith women endeavor cheaply
TO counterfeit the luXuriant heads of
hair denied them by nature-have been
regarded, no doubt. as merely sensa-
tionsl, or perhaps the product of some
misogynist Imagination, but the doubt
ers have no chance. The disgusting
little bOrers that fill the fibers of
the Jute' plant, whether used in mas
sive chignonS or long punches, are
causing a lively and by no means plea
SAINT excitement in various quarters,
finding their way TO the heads of their
harhorers, they burrow until the scalp
becomes raw, and in many cases affect
the whole nervous system and craze
remedy we know of is TO abandon the
use of chignOns and switches altogether
and treat with "Barrett's Vegetable Hair
Restorative" II thorough application
of which according to directions will
soon supply the DEFICIENCIES of nature
and give you a fine heating ;i,trHridHt
hCdd Of h0ir. The Ladies' all prefer
Barrett's" because it Is much cleaner
and does not gum or mat the hair.

ed much laughter in the Senate, June

that the Franklng bill had not friends
enough to hurt anything. There is no
complaint that the friends of the bill
have not manifested their partially for
it. The trouble is that Its enemies dare
not ayow their opposition 10 it, and seek
to defeat it by dilatory motions on frivo>
lous grounds, f the bill could be forced
