Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1873-10-09

A teller of one of our banks, says a
Boston paper, discovered the other day
a very ingenious mode resorted to by
counterfeiters to make profit by little
manipulation of genuine bills. The
plan is in this wise Take, say, ten So
bills, lay one on the other quarter of
an inch below the top, something after
paper bags. When they are all thus
neatly laid off a knife is run through
them, and, of course. from the first bill
a quarter of an inch will be cut off, q
half inch from the second, three-quar-
tiers from the third, an inch from the
fourth, and so to the tenth bill, from
the bottom of which there is taken a
very small portion, nothing more than
the border. This bill is left as it is,
but to all the others the parts taken off
are neatly pasted on, and the result is
that there will be eleven bills, all per-
feet, except small reduction in the size
of each. Of course the operator makes
five dollars in every ten. The amount
taken from each is so small and the bills
being generally all of one kind, it is a
very difficult matter to detect them. The
bill detected by the teller referred to
was bungingly done-the top being a
part of an Ohio bill, while the bottom
was a part of a Baltimore bill. The
names of the places are prominent, and
consequently bills on the same bauk or
place are preferred. 1t is a very neat
arrangement to cheat people who are
not in the habit of giving bank bills a
very close examination.

A Great Russian Editor.

Russia has as vet produced but one
great journalist. NJ. Katoff, editor and
proprietor of the Moscow Gazette,
which has a daily circulation of $4,000
copies. He is still comparatively
young man, and his editorial sanctum
is sumptuously fitted up after the best
American establishments. There is a
library of 10000 volumes, speaking
tubes to every part of the building, a
telegraph office, and also a genuine
Russian peculiarity-a room for the Off
Ger of police, to whom all articles are
submitted before publication. The
presses are of the largest kind, made in
New York. At first he was Disguised
with his own editorials, but his young
wife urged him to persevere, which he
did to crafty her, sometimes rewriting
his articles half dozen times. Ten
years ago he was very poor. Now he is
q millionaire, and the Imperial Govern
ment at st. st. Petersburg respects and
fears him.

A Dreadful Predicament.

Recently, at late hour of the night,
the people domiciled in a well-known
clearinghouse in Utica were aroused by
calls for help proceeding from one of
the rooms, and general uprising, dom
ming of garments, and rush to the scene
took place. There a sight met their
gaze which aroused the mirth of the
men and caused the women to beat q
hasty retreat From over the transom
of the door of one of the bedrooms pro-
truded pair of masculine legs, clad
but In an undergarment, while faint
voice from the inside reiterated the calls
for assistance. The men worked
promptly, but it was several minutes
before the unfortunate could be rescued
from his disagreeable predicament, and
when taken down he was nearly exhaust
ed from suffocation. 1t appears that
he had returned home late, but, late as
he was, his roommate was still out and
he had the key with him. Anxious to
get to bed, and not wishing to make any
more noise than could be helped, our
friend disrobed himself to avoid tearing
his garments and to facilitate his move
ments, and endeavored to enter the
room through the transom. After he
got half through his courage failed him
at the prospect of diving to the floor,
and he twisted and squirmed to secure
an easy descent, the result being that
he finally got upon his back and hung
there, head down, unable to get out or
in, and, the blood rushing to his head,
he was eventually forced to call for
help. He was going to carry the key
himself hereafter.

Boston improvements.

The burnt district of Boston is being
rapidly rebuilt, the streets widened,
larger water-pipes laid, and the whole
character of the district, with respect to
the risks, changed. 1t is expected that
on the anniversary of the fire, Nov.
and 10, three of the streets will be wholly
restored, and more than three-fourths
of the sites of all the other burned
buildings occupied by partially COM
pleted structures. The new buildings.
in beauty, strength and durability, are
improvements on those that were de-
stroyed, and many of them are fire.
proof. Their value is estimated at twice
that of the old buildings, notwithstand-
ing the widening of the streets.

NEvADIANs assert that they were bet
ter off before the Central Pacific passed
through their Stote. Seven years ago
it cost $45 stage fare from Austin, New,
to Sacramento now it costs 1852 on
the railroad. Seven years ago it cost
six cents per pound to freight powder
from Sacramento to Austin now it
costs six to seven cents per pound, and
on all bulky goods, oils, etc., nearly as
much. The exactions of the railroad
are SO severe that popular uprising is
threatened.

WHEN Horace Greeley visited Yosem-
tie he picked up in the trail horseshoe
and hung it on the knot of an oak tree
for whoever might choose to use it. No
one took it, and in time the knot grew
over the horseshoe, and recently the
portion of the tree containing it was cut
out and sent to San Francisco as me-
mento of Mr.. Greeley's economy.

An Evansville spooney was the VIC
tim of heartless joke, recently. His
companions counterfeited letter from
a young heiress, which said that his
manly bearing had cavtivated her heart,
and hoped he reciprocated. He threw
away his tools, invested his money in
new clothes, and presented himself to
the lady, who Indignantly told him that
she didn't want a husband who looked
like crooked-necked squash, and if he
didn't leave she'd remove his hair. He
retired.

general market opened steady and ruled firm until
about noon when the speculation assumed rather

barely steady 1t not TO be understood, however,
that the changes were important for the range was
