Joseph Sheridan LIE Fanu, an eminent irish
writer and one Of the ablest Of the modern press
hterati Of Great Britain, has just died at his resi-.
dence in Dublin. When, many years ago, his first
contributions appeared in the University Ad0d-
ztne, he was recognized as one Of the foremost
OF brilliant band who have since made name
for themselves In many walks Of life. After being
called to the Bar, he connected himself with the
newspaper press, and was proprietor and editor
of the Dublin Warder for many years. Sub
sequently, and until 1870, he was part proprie-
tor OF the Dublin Euentng Mat, and contributed
to Its columns occasionally articles marked by sim
gular vigOr. Mr.. LIE Fanu's literary reputation,
hewever, rested on his novels produced in later
years, which are wen known IN England and
America. His best work was "Uncle Silas,' In
at Its highest, and In which his marvellous
played In all that he wrote he exhibited
love Of country and an admiration
Tor the character Of the Irish people which were
with him an evidently genuine sentiment. He
died IN the maturity OF his powers, when 1t was ex
pected that he would have lived to enrich litera-
ture with works of q still higher character. Mr..
LIE Fanu was well known to men of letters in Lon
don. For some years he conducted the University
Magazine, during which period its old reputation
was maintained and an opening found In It's pages
for some Irish writer's whose performances since
have justified the discrimination that encouraged
their first efforts In social life Mr.. LIE Fanu was
genial, and his extensive reading made him an
agreeable associate.

FORGERIES OF UNITED STATES 500
NOTES.

Yesterday morning, at eleven O'Clock, novel
kind OF Forgery was discovered at the in
this city by Mr. Abram N. w. Tandy, one OF the note
counters, who, while examining large quantity
OF bills came across OF the 1868 issue OF 500
which felt somewhat spongy and SOFT He then
Examined it with microscope and ascertained
that the bill consisted OF two parts, which had been
pasted together the face being genuine and the
back being forgery The intention OF the coun-
terieiter is doubtless 10 make use OF the good back
and paste 1t in like manner to fraudulent lace,
but whether this VIII be as good q forgery as
tho present one remains to be seen. The work 10
admirably dcne and II the counterieiters can make
as good face as they can good "back" y Is pos.
sibe that 5000 for 800 bin can be easily had. II
Mr.. Tandy had not been clever expert the piii
would have passed him. as 1t did several ol MS col.
leagues. The bogus article is now In Tie hands oi
General Butterfeld, and 1t remains 70 DC seen wnas
action he will take In the matter. IL Is maintained
that with good face, the bill can hardly be deslg
mated forgery Last August the detectives IN
philadelphia arrested a man VINO could make SIX
bills out OF i've by cutting and mutilating them,
and when arrested his pocketbook was found iull
OF cuttings OF good bills.

KEY WEST, Fla, Oct. Is, 1873.
Prominent among the disasters at sea, during
the recent cyclone and series OF storms which
visited the South Atlantic and Gulf was the loss OF
the British steamship Missouri, OF the Mississippi
and Dominion Steamship Company's line, plying
between Liverpool and New Orleans. When
eighteen days out. after rough passage, the Mis-.
souri, was wrecked, October !, during gale on
Gingerbread Shoals, Bmn Island, one OF the BAHIA
mas, sixty miles from Nassau. There were
lao steerage passengers and 23 children on board.
all OF whom, including the crew, were saved
through the heroic efforts and presence OF mind OF
the commander. Captain Pierson, VINO success
fully landed every passenger with most OF the bag
gage, by means OF the lie boats and rafts. Three
hours after the vessel struck she parted asunder,
her stern and masts disappearing. portion or
the cargo was saved In damaged condition. The
passengers, composed OF French, English and Nor
wegan emlgrants, destined Tor New Orleans were
obliged to remain
FIVE DAYS ON THE ISLAND
before assistance could reach them. Provisions
were purchased at small village the island,
at the expense or the Dominion Company and
through the untlring efforts OF Captain Pierson,
cipal owners OF the line, there little suf
ferng among the unfortunate yet miraculously
fortunate party, VINO were 1eu anu provided Tor az
an expense OF $4,000 during the i've days on
Bimint Island. Her Majesty's man-oi-war
Cherub arrived and took the entire
party on board, and proceeded to Nassau,
where a supply OF provisions was taken on board,
and the Cherub sailed for Key West arriving here
on the morning OF the llth and during the day the
passengers OF the Inflated Missouri were trans
ierred rom the Cherub to the steamship Liberty,
OF the Baltimore. New Orleans and Havana line
and they were thus promptly forwarded to their
destination via Havana. The Mississippi and DO
mlnlon Company furnished provisions and cooks
for the emigrants through to New Orleans.
THE LOSS OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PROPERTY
on the island and in the city OF Key West caused
by the cyclone Of the 9Th ult amounts to at least
$4,000, exclusive OF the injury done to the sea
wall OF Fort Taylor. Mr.. Howe, resident mer-

The Red River Raft.

HHERE is now certain prospect that
Il the great raft, which has been an
obstruction to the Red river, in Louisiana,
ever since the advent of white men in this
country, will soon be removed, and that
navigation will be opened for steamers
from Shreveport, La, to jefferson, Texas.
The history Of the raft and the attempts to
remove it are exceedingly interesting. In
1905, the obstruction Of logs reached one
hundred miles. Since that time RATS have
formed at various points in the river near
Shreveport. One of these was removed by
Capt Shreve in 1880, by the help Of a
Congressional appropriation, and another
between 1910 and 1874, under Govern
ment contract, by Gen. Williamson. In
1855 the raft region extended only twelve
miles, and at that time Captain Fuller,
aided by u Congressional appropriation OF
$3.50, 900, attempted to remove it. At the
end of two years, however, the appropria-
tion had been exhausted and nothing ac-
complished, and, the work being abandon
ed the obstruction began to increase.
The present raft region extends thirty
five miles from a point forty miles above
Shreveport to the Arkansas State line, and
contained before the present work COM
menced, nearly fifty RATS from one eighth
of a mile to mile in length, and occupying
the entire width of the river navigation
only being accomplished through the bay
Gus around the raft but as these were
only available at very high water, naviga-
tion was insignificant. In 1871 the atten
tion Of the engineering department wai
again directed to this work, and an appro
priation of $4,000 having been made by
Congress, the work Of preliminary survey
ing was intrusted to Lieutenant Woodruff,
who completed it in 1879, and submitted
plans and specifications for the removal ol
the raft, whereupon an appropriation o
$4,000 was made. The plans were &C
cepted, and Lieutenant Woodruff reached
the raft region in January last with a snag
boat, two craneboats, and all the necessar,
machinery for his work. The following

"Well, yes, friend Leander, at least /
think her good mare"
"Raise her yourself?"
" No, she was raised by neighbor Mich
OILS. I'll tell thee how got that mare,
friend Leander. She was one of the hand
somests colts ever saw, and tried time
and again to buy her, but Nichols wouldn't
talk of any sort of price for her. She
had only one fanlt, and that was bad one
she would back at first when put in har-
ness, but Nichols said she would outgrow
that. One day-the mare was five years
old then, and had broken a good many
things first and last, backing as was riding
past Nichols and found him in the road in
a towering passion. The black mare was
standing quietly at the fence, and Nichols
buggy was standingclose by badly smashed.
The mare had suddenly backed the buggy,
breaking it and seriously iujuring Nichols
wife and also two of his children"
"What will you give for the internal
mare?" shouted Nichols. And in five
minutes had bought her and was ON my
way home with her, just about as pleased
as I could be, for it was threshing time and
wanted another horse very much"
"What ! such horse as that ?'
go yes, I'll tell thee. 1t was wheat
threshing time, SO harnessed three good
horses in the threshing mill, and the mare
too, only harnessed her in wrong end fore
most, so that when1I started them and she
commenced backing, as she did, all went
along well enough. After going once
around the mare felt inclined to stop; but
just switched up the other horses, and
kept her going backwards in spite of her
efforts to go the other way, for half an
hour. Then took her out, turned her
around, and tell thee, she started right
along, and has never backed unless made
to do SO from that day to this
"Good that was shrewd in you, Jo-
seph."
6" But there is still one little trouble about
her."
"What is that ?"
"When she is harnessed now she starts
up little too quick
