How S50ARE MADE OUT OF SAC.
A very ingenious trick, by which
gang Of swindlers are making mon
ey by mulilating national bank
notes Of the denomination of five
dollars, has recently come to our
notice. The dodge consists ofmak-
ing ten bills out Of nine, and Is so
managed that there is but one past
ing to each of the manufactured
notes. The nine whole bills are
taken, and from the right of the
first one.tenth is sliced of; from
the right of the second two.tenths (;
from the right of third three. .tenths |;
and so on to the number nine, from
which 9.l0's are taken from the
right, or what amounts to the same
thing, one.tenth to the left. Num-
Der one Is pasted as It Is, with q
tenth gone from the right /; the one.
tenth taken from the number one Is
pasted TO the residue Of number
two, from which two-tenths are
made to answer the place Of three
tenths taken from number three,
and so on through. Thus nine five
dollar notes are completed, leaving
his original nine, with q tenth gone
from the left as o tenth note. II
will be seen that but q tenth is gone
from each bill, and in q different
place on every one, and q little in.
geni0us pasting makes the loss i'm.
percepti6le to ordinary observers,
It is certain that large numbers oi
these mutllated bills have been put
into circulation, and our readers
will do well to look out for them

AmERIeAN SYMPATHY.

AMERICAN SYMPATHY.
The European war is the main
topic Of the public journals, and
many if not most of the leading
papers have declared themselves
either for Germany or France.
What reasons there are to call
for this public expression of sym
pathy by the American press for
either we cannot conceive. True,
it is but natural that journals
should be interested in the matter,
and natural, perhaps, that that
interest should incline to the one
side or the other; but, being Amer
ican journals, what object or JUS
tiRcation they can have for exert
ing their influence to, possibly,
embroil our people in the matter,
is beyond our ken.
Journalists, after all, are only
men, and, like other men, may
rightfully and naturally entertain
prejudices and sympathies; but
they have not, therefore, q right
to press their individual views
upon their readers, in their char
acter as journalists, when those
views are irrelevant and foreign to
the purposes and interests Of their
government and people.
Wherein, may we ask, does this
war in Europe concern the United
States that we should throw our
influence into the one scale or the
otherp
The ordinary citicism of the
course of either party To the strug-
gle is not what we condemn, fol
that is the rightful province Of
journalism, but we condemn the
plain effort to bias public opinion
in favor of either combatant.
The principles involved are moi
those which should naturally catch
the sympathy Of this people. As
we'll as We can understand the rea
causes of antagonism they com
prise the same with both parties
viz: personal rivalry between the
sOvereigns; and the greed for ter
ritorial aggrandizement. There
Is no matter of just principle in
volved; nothing that should wir
the sympathy or admiration Of ouI
people. By the expression "oul
people" we necessarily mean, th'
American people; it is but natu
raj that Frenchmen and German
should have their sympathy en-
listed with their native land res
pectively, if only as a matter o
national pride.
We could and, during the strug
gle, probably shall say things TO
and against both sides, but tha
does not necessitate US to attemp
to bias public opinion either way
AS we conceive there could b
only one cause for which thi
country could be drawn into tn
maelstrom Of war, and that cause
as concerning US, is too remote t,
be effective; it is the balance 0
power in Europe. The growth @
neither Of the European powers
likely to be so extraordinary tha
America need fear for herself
As the situation appears at thi
juncture the other powers Of Eu
rope will not permit any materiS
aggrandizement Of territory b
either party to the war; and thu
the contest narrows itself down t
q personal rivalry. With thi
view, if correct, it would seer
that q few heavy battles will d.
eide the war, as they will suff
ciently indicate "who Is the bel
man." Neither party have enoug
ut stake to warrant an EXTERN

would seem, neither can desiI
