of valuable material in day, and he must
work honestly or his employers will suffer
the penalty of having bad cigars go into
the market. He is man of character,
therefore, and has an honest pride in main
tanning it. He often works in one manufac-
tory all his life, and grows to look upon the
reputation of the mandatory as his own
property. In appearance he is a dignifed
and intelligent foreign-looking gentleman,
much addicted to smoking, and averse to
having doors left open or receiving visitors.

THE PACKERS,
Who are in the next room. Their first
duty is to place the bundles of cigars, ac-
cording to quality, in large armoirs, to dry,
where they are left closed up for a month
or longer until that object is satisfactorily
obtained. They are then taken out, and
one of the most particular labors of their
whole manufacture then begins. This is
the sorting Of them into colors and quail
ties. When it is known that there are
among cigars eight colOrs, viz: Maduro
(ripe, very fat and dark; colorado maduro
Ia shade lighter); oscuro dark brown;
colorado oscuro Ia shade lighter still); color
ado (brown); colorado claro light brown
an, idea may be formed of the difficulty of
this labor and of the nicely of judgment it
requires. Indeed, it appeared to us almost
miraculous. When our chaperone took from
these six piles, which we easily saw were OF
different cOlors, and handing the cigars to
US, requesting that we should replace them,
we saw the difficulty. All appeared, while
in our hands, exactly alike. We gave it up
in despair; but the practiced workman

The Washington Cabinet, after a session
of three hours, on the 18th inst, resolved
to allow the Republican factionists in
Louisiana to fight their fight to a peaceful
issue. The President, however, favorea
the cause Of his brother-in-law, Collector
Casey, and was rather inclined to interposs

victory to has O,rD adhcrents in the quar-
rel. The Cabinet Ministers opposed this
policy az one calculated to iniure rather
than promote the object aimed at, by turn
ing public opinion against the President
which would more than offset his enforced
aseendency in the single State of Louisiana
This statesmanlike api entirely unseltsh
view of the situation had an instan taneeus
effect upon the Executive, and he reercd
round to the views of his advisers unhesi-

Cabinet, TIE President dispatched the fol-
lowing reply to message from the Mayor
OF New Orleans, urging the declaration Of
martial law:
q Martial law will not be proclaimed in
New Orleans under the existing crcum-
stances, and no assistance will be given by
the Federal authority to persons or parties

A legal case somewhat novel in its char
acter occurred here on Saturday last. Post
master Bushnell had received notification
the evening previous to pay the sum OF
$3.50 to a citizen residing in the county, on
the presentation by him of money orders to
that amount. An attorney of an inquiring
turn of mind happened to see the moaey
order registry lying open on the postmas-
ter desk, and furthermore happened 10
observe that the individual in whose favor
the money order was drawn; was indebted
to client of his. Sagacious attorney i'm
mediately bethought himself how he might
turn this information to account. Aocor-
dinghy, next morning, he had a noi!vu5 Of
garnishment served on the postmaster, en-
Jvinrire n,-. r.v... 'r~.yt--c 49, r~----:l laU
to the person for whom it was intended.
The deputy sheriff had scarcely finished
reading the notice to the postmaster when
the person to whose order the money was
sent appeared on the scene, and presenting
his orders, asked for the money The post
master was obliged to confess that it was
out of his power to comply, and recited the
circumstances under which it was withheld.
The disappointed payee sought legal advice
on the subject. Attorney number two,
after hearing the case, ransacked the post
Office departments regulations touching
money orders. and thought he discovered
sufficient grounds for demanding that the
money be paid to his client. The postmss-
ter, however, thought best to await iustruo-
tons from Washington on the subject be-
fore forking over. As the matter now
stands, the money is tied up in the hands
of the postmaster until ;he next meeting Of
the Circuit Court in April, unless the Post
Office Department dissolves the injunction
sooner.-Bol,rar (lo.) Free Press.

Counterfeit Fifty Cent Notes.

Peterson's Detector notes the following
new counterfeit: g Fifty Cent Fractional
Currency --latest Issue. The engraving
IS coarse, and the fine lathe work wanting,
though initiated coarsely, yet it is we'll CAL
culated to deceive. The red and blue
fibers in the paper of. the genuine are imi-
tate by printing. In the counterfeit, the
long beard of Secretary Stanton is darker,
and the figures $50" on the right hand
are surrounded by solid black instead of
fine lines, as in the genuine. On the re-
verse, the counterfeit may be distinguished
by the IS in customs failing to touch the
large oval to the next, and also by the alb
sense of shading and the fine lines around
the 80" in the corners. New issue-A
very good counterfeit. The portrait of
Lincoln is coarser and darker than the
genuine, and the lathe work in center of
die is also darker. SOS, greenbacks-imi-
tation. Observe the figure so on back of
the bill, around the mar gin. The 5 in the
imitation runs into the 0 OH the lower left
corner, and reads SO instead Of So The
buttons on Hamilton's vest, which are very
distinct IN genuine, are scarcely discerni-
bic in the counterfeit. Genuine has FIVE:
while in the counterfeit you can hardly see
four. The note is dated March 10, 1863
We would advise our patrons to scrutinize
carefully all $50 Treasury notes, unless
they know the parties from which they re-
ceiyed them.

Important Hop Suit-Mixing, q
Fraud.

We learn that a very important hop salt
has just been decided in the Circuit Court
of Sank county, Wisconsin. Hon. Alya
Stewart presiding. The plaintiff in this
case was prominent hop dealer Of Bara-
boo, Sank county, MIR. William 5. Grub,
and he brought suit to recover money ad
yanced and damages incurred, by reason Of
a forfeiture Of contract on the part of the
defendant 1t was alleged that the defend
ant had rendered thirteen bales of mixed
hops, instead of his new crop of 49, l hops,
and that hops of 1865 growth mixed with
hops of 1871 growth, the former being
worth six cents per pound, the latter fifty
four cents, making very material differ
ence in value. stf=t sa@ -sai
The case was tried before a jury consist
ing mainly of hop growers. 1t was believed
that a great prejudice existed among grow
ers against dealers, on account of the terri
bic losses sustained by the growers in the
past three or four years; yet, the verdict
awarded to the plaintiff every dollar claim
ed with interest on the advanced payment.
This shows conclusively the sense of honor
existing among class, who, though great
pecuniary sufferers, are determined that no
charge of dishonesty shall rest against the
hop growing community. The Hon. Judge
incidentally remarked that the mixing Of
hops was a fraud and crime, and it appears
that Wisconsin hop growers SO regard it.
This case, which has excited unusual
interest among the hop growers everywhere,
viii so far to advance the reputation Of
Wisconsin hops, (already world renowned.l
Such fraud, we are glad to say, has been
rarely successfully perpetrated or attempted
in Wisconsin, and we think the attempts
with this lesson of its evil consequences,
will not soon be made gain.-Aadison

three masted scow Ella Doak appeared on
the lake, euveloped in a sea Of floating ice,
She laid at anchor for nearly a day, and
then attempted to make this port, for
which she was bound with a cargo of wood
for Bates & Hoag. The wind provelng too
unfayorable to make an entrance the cap

now lies. The Doak left here nearly four
weeks ago for Claybanks $50 miles north
of Racine with crew consisting of three
men. twill be remembered that AZ she
was about to clear this port she ran against,
the pier and sank, but was pumped out by
the fire steamers of this city. \ othing

writes:
A hard-working faithful missionary

Rev. Secretary of the society called to see
him, and noticing the vegetables growing

worth to him S25. He said No. Well,

Secretary said it must be worth $l8, and
