A CURIoUs STORY OF THE LATE Con
FEDRACY.- The LgRch6urg VirginiaR
narrates an incident in the career of the
late Confederacy which goes to show
how greed may overcome patriotism.
Richmond was the headquarters OF the
Treasury Department, and the national
currency was Issued there, Al time
when new issue Of bonds had Just been
ordered. there was employed in the
Treasury Department man named
Elan, who saw the way to sudden
wealth through bold move, which he
with an associate proceeded at once to
make. One night the two men entered
the Treasury building through a back
window, and taking the plates, from the
denomination of 50 to $1,000, they
placed them on the press and printed, on
the regular paper, five million dollars.
There was no more difficulty in printing
| them than in printing an ordinary busl-
! ness card, and there were no precautions
taken to prevent such an enterprise as
that undertaken by the two worthless.
/ All that remained to be done to make
the bonds fit for circulation was to have
them signed. The signing at the time
was done by the young ladies in the de
partment, one hundred of whom were
thus employed. The men persuaded
two of these to sign their bonds, and at.
ter division they had each two and {
hall millions of bonds, worth at that time
their face value in gold or SILVER. Th'
discovery came in its natural way. Thi
paper was missed. The men were tiusl
with their money, offering hundred dol
lar bills in payment of small debts, AM
in othar WAYS acted SusDiciOuSlY. On
was arrested, and being terribly fright
ened confessed his guilt and duplicates
the other. Both were thrown into pris
on. from which one afterward escape
and went north, but the other suffere
the penalty of his crime on the gallows
AS for the bonds, nothing was eve
known of them. Whether they wer
concealed, destroyed, or put in surrep't
, Gus circulation is uncertain, but th
former supposition is the most probable

HoN GEORGE P. MARsH.-The Boston
Journal says: We are glad to see that
President Grant, according to our Wash
ington correspondent, has put his foot
down against the removal of Hon. Geo.
p. Marsh, our Minister to Italy. The
only complaint that has ever been made
public against Mr.. Marsh arose from a
certain plain-speaking letter Of his to the
Department of State. 1t was dated be-
fore the Franco-German war, and de-
clared in substance that the Italian Gov
eminent was entirely under the thumb
of Louis Napoleon, and nothing indie
pendent and progressive was to be eX-
pected of its foreign policy Naturally
enough the publication of this dispatch
created some cOmm0tiOn in the official
circles of Italy. But no complaint came
from that quarter about Mr.. Marsh.
The Italian statesmen used good sense.
They recognized the fact that our Min
lister, as a faithful diplomatic representa-
tive, was required to report to his Gov
eminent his full ideas of the political
situation of the Government to which
he was accredited; he would have been
delinquent if he had not done so: but
that the error and the wrong were in di-
vulging his communication. That, I'M
doubtedly, was an oversight and the
Government cannot give a better repara-
ton than in sustaining Mr.. Marsh where
he is, especially after the discretion and
liberality shown by the Italian Govern
ment. As a Minister, Mr.. Marsh's effici-
ency is worthy of his great learning and
| high character, and if there are any
members of Congress who have failed OF
reelection and want to get pensioned of
somewhere, as if the rule were once q
Congressman always to be in office, we
trust they will have chance to look in
some other direction. 1t might be bet.
ter still for them TO fall back into the
Republican ranks and try the luxury foi
awhile of disinterested service for thu
public good.

COOP PLACE FOR BURGLARS. Burling-
ton and her city court are most excel
lent places for burglars to commit their
depredations, be arrested, break jail and
be finally examined in. They get off
with comparative impunity, and are
handled as gently as Lunenburgh handles
men who attempt to commit murder
The name OF Shlette already occupies
quite prominent place in the annals Of
crime, and he will, undoubtedly, ere long
have fresh opportunities to attain new
distinction. We have already detailed
some of his daring exploits and, more
recently, his burglary at Milton, his es-
cape through car window while the
train was in motion, his arrest, his es-
cape from Jail and his subsequent re-
capture. Monday, he was brought be-
fore the city court of Burlington and,
notwithstanding the constitutional inhi-
bition against requiring excessive bail,
the bail, on the charge OF burglary was
fixed at the enormous amount of ire
hundred dollars, while for carrying a
slung shot the bail was fixed at two
hundred dollars, making the whole
amount of bail exactly seven hundred
dollars. Either his burglarious capacity
has been enormously oyerrated or he
will soon be himself again.

CHaPPED HANDS.

In healthy condition the skin is kept
supple by an oily secretion, which answers
the same purpose as oiling leather. Dur
ing warm weather this secretion, in com
mon with all the other secretions Of the
skin, is more abundant thanin cold. When
ii is insufficient the skin becomes dry and
harsh and on those parts of the body
where the skin is thick and subject to
motion as on the hands, it readily cracks
or assures. The amount of this secretion
is so much reduced in cold weather that
the frequent washing of the hands with
soap causes them to chap readily, and this
the more certainly if the soap is not wash.
ed off The alkali in soap is usually in ex
cess, and this combines with the oily Sc
erection, and 50 deprives the skin of its nat
ural iubricator. To prevent the hands
from chapping, then, be careful to wasf
all soap from them thoroughly in clear
water, This will ordinarily suffice; but, i
not, it will be necessary to make good tn.
