"SHovING THE QUEER."-This, in rogues
Latin, is the term for passing counterfeit
bank or treasury bills. The crime is OF no
recent origin, but became in some sort
profession in the reign of George Ill. Since
then it has gone on constantly improving
until at length it can be ranked as fine
art. But although the art of counterfeltlng
bills originated in Europe, yet, like many
other arts, it has received Its highest lll-
provements in America.
In fact there are indications that the art
of manufacturing counterfeit money, ana
putting it into circulation, has become a
business as regular and Systematically con-
ductea as that of money broker.
We have seen within the past few weeks
several different circulars, PROCESSING 10
come from parties in New York, and ad-
dressed to men of respectable standing IN
this community. In these circulars, the
signers, with little circumlocution, inform
those to whom they address their corre-
snondence that they are engaged In the
business of making counterfeit bills, and
offar to send their nefarious product at the
rate of 5000 for $40 United States currency
and so ON with larger sums. One SET, VINO
SIGN themselves "Fraternally yours, Dan
Elliott g. Co., 100 Broadway, New York"
offer to send $4,000 and county right" for
the sum of s25, or $4,000 and the right for
tbe state for the sum of $50. Liberal, is it
not I!
At the first flush, the increasing numbers
of those who make it a business OF enriching
men for very small outlay, and the open
ness with which they make their proffers by
mail to all sorts of people, might lead TO the
supposition that counterfeit bills are aoou. u.
to inundate the country to the utter rum OF
fair trade. But the large number OF

The Planters Banner says of the weather

After incessant rain for one entire month
the sun again shines, and pleasant it is to
see our deserted streets reassume their
wonted life and activity. On Friday last
the storm eliminated in heavy gale of
wind. amounting almost to a hurricane.
One of our friends heard the bricks falling
upon his roof, from the chimnies, and
moved his household goods down stairs.
One house was lifted from its foundations
and transferred to a space some eight feet
distant. Trees torn up by their roots, and
fences blocking the sidewalks for several
days disfgured our town. IN the adjacent
country matters were much worse. The
wind injured, seriously, the standing crops
of COIN, in most cases leveling them with the
ground, and the orchards suffered severely
We trust that the fair weather now with us
will prove not wayward, but remain with
us for some time-long enough at any rate
to enable the planters to get the grass oul
of their crops and undo the damage caused
by the late incessant rains.

A Coed Appointment.

We are glad to learn, by dispatches from
Washington, that our young friend Willie
A. Hodges has been appointed route agent
between New Orleans and Bayou Sara. He
is to be assigned by Colonel Lowell to the
mail steamer Wade Hampton. The ap-
pointee is the son of Captain w. G. Hodges,
late military storekeeper at this post, but
more recently assigned to duty in Texas.
Postmaster General Creswell will find that
he has made an excellent selection. We
congratulate young Hodges on his good for

The Washington Republican saws ::

General Stoneman, so well known during
the late war as one of the most efficient
cavalry officers, and who was for some time
past in command of the department of Ari-
IONA, has forwarded his application to be
placed on the retired list. During the war
and since General Stoneman has suffered
from complaint which the best of medical
and surgical skill has failed to alleviate.
Although in the prime of life, he finds him
self utterly incapacitated for active service,
and is not willing to longer tax his strength
in endeavoring to do duties for which he is
not physically able.

circulars, will lead, we think, to different
conclusion, namely that there are those VINO
counterfeit counterfeiting. In fact there Is
no doubt that these worthless scatter thelr
bate about in all directions acting under the
reasonable belief that the rogues and fools
are not all dead.
There is little doubt that they receive
many ten or twenty dollar genuine Dill
from such as are in haste to grow rich; and
of course, after getting the remittance, no
more attention is paid to the victim nor
does he ever again hear of the pile OF
"Queer" by which he was to make hs for

Of course the would-be rogue that sends
money to these counterfeiters meets but his
