Counting Dcfaaed Money.

While I was In the Treasury Depart
mcnt AZ Washington, writes q correspon-
dent, the contents Of safe which was in
the Chicago fire was being counted.
There was national bank notes, United
States Treasury bonds nickels, railroad
bonds, and postage stamps upon the
tables. All these must be sorted aud ar
ranged, counted and the value estimated.
Such work as this. as mny easily be be-
leyed, is no light task. The notes are
baked 10 "a crisp, and are perfectly black
and the idea of separating them and de-
ciphering the engraving on their faces
seems at first utterly absurd. Some oi
the packages are in tolerabio ordor, In
other eases three ar four hundred notes
which have been caroleSSly thrown into
box are 50 melted together that il
seems impossible ia separate them in
others bonds have been tied up in a roll
for convenience sake, aud are in the
worst condition possible to be separated.
And here | would give word of warn
ing. Anybody in liable u be burnt out
any fire. proof safe il subject Va being
brought under extreme heat and it's con
tents roasted, SO that all persons having
notes, bonds, or postage stamps put away
for salekeeping should take the precau-
tion 10 keep them spread out the full
size, one placed neatly over the other,
and in case of an accident or calamity
such AS that at Chicago, very little viii
be lost IN the process OF redemption,
All notes, whose value can be made out,
are redeemed at full value There is no
discount On burned money, as there is
ON muhlated money. The safes or the
boxes containing tho money are sent at
once from the TreaSurcr's otliee 10 the
ladies, whom long experience has proved
qualified for the delicate and difficult
task Of handling il aud deciphering its
value. They take it carefully from its
receptacles, and proceed 10 separate the
notes with the utmost skill. Those notes
which are SO far gone that they crumble
at the hghtest touch have their cinders
carefully pasted together ON sheets of
tissue paper. Great care Is taken 10 pre-
vent the loss of single note. The ladies
are supplied with various aids h their
work. Each has magniiying glass
aud several small, thin, sharp steel in
struments with flat blades, which last are
indispensable in separating the notes
With national bank notes the name Of
the State, the bank, and denomination
of the note must be decipheIed, that the
money may be returned to the banks
which issued il for redemption. The
counter certities tO the number OF pack
ages, of pieces, denomination, aud the
total amount In the case Of the Trca-
sury notes, the counter furnishes a schc-
dule for the Otiicn of the Secretary Of
the Treasury, another for the Treasurer,
and n third for the Register. These
schedules are carefully looked over in
these bureaus, signed, and afterwards
the notes are burned in the presence Of
representatives Of the three officers above
named This wSrk is not only compli-
Gated. but imposes great responsibility
upon those having il 10 DO nevertheless
it is proper TO state that the ladies re-
ceiye but $500 per annum for their labor.

The San Jose Call Marury contains
this singular story
There resides with his mother in San
ia Clara, Charles W. Skies, a Young
man of good reputation, worthy and hon
est, but of humble circumstances in
4 life. There also resides in the same
town, with her parents, Miss Hattie Bur
nett, granddaughter of Governor Bur
nett, an estimable young lady Of eight
cen, Of fine accomplishments and un-
sullied character. These young people,
ii is asserted, formed an attachment for
each other, against the wishes OF the
girls parents, who sought, by various
means, 10 break the intimacy between
them, and they had to meet clandes-
timely.
This state of affairs existed for many
months, until the 4th of September last,
when Mr.. Skies, accom- anied by
young lady who gave her name as Hattie
Burnett, called at the law Office of c. c.
Stephens, of this city-an acquaintance
of both parties-sNpd stated as their OBJ
lect in calling the intention OF being
united IN marriage. Justice Stewart
was called in, and the parties were duly
married. They returned to Santa Clara.
remained throughout The day at the
young mans home, and then the lady
went to her own home. Now comes in
the mystery, romance, or what YOU may
call it, of the whole affair. The fact Of
the marriage leaked out-for Skies made
no secret of it--and soon reached the
ears of the girls parents. They asked
her If it was true. She said no. and
seemed greatly surprised at the intima-
ton.
Skies claimed that she was his wife,
and the girl was brought 10 confront
him in the presence Of Mr.. Stephens.
Here she denied everything relating to
the alleged marriage-had only known
Skies as passing acquaintance-never
intended to marry him-the whole thing
was a fraud-some woman bearing
resemblance 10 her had been procured
to perSonate her, &c. And in this she
firmly persists at the present time. The
parents believe the girl-the public,
mostly, sympathize with Skies. Some
think that her fears have been wrought
upon until she dare not own the truth.
Others don't know what to think.

You never knew the pain OF vague regrotting,
Nor care nor grief have left the slightest trace
Thus |, worn cut wording, read your face--
Soar sun Of joy has never known setting.
Sometimes yeu turn your sweet sad eyes this
way,
And happy envy mo my state and glory;
You do not see the tharns that hedge my way,
Ion do not know my htc Is blank and gray

But oh the wound that ranhles night aud dAv
But oh the heart that aches from dawn an
