excellent shoemaker, was convicted Of
| having sunk down under an overcharge
of tanzy and slept in public place. 1t
was quiet sleep and no doubt would
have proved refreshing, if he had not
been sternly aroused from it. His sleep
was rudely broken, and be was offered in
consequence the choice of paying S24 or
wearing his life away through half that
number of days in the county jail. He
chose the latter alternative with the view
of testing the legality of the process by
which he had been condemned. So,
yesterday, he appeared in the District
Court in the person of his attorney, Col.
Davies. and held on three grounds that
the entire prosecution is null and void /;
first, the petition for the town govern
ment was not (as required by the act)
signed by a majority Of actual residents;
second the city of Carson cannot be held
to be legal plaintiff as the Constitution
OF the State requires all criminal pro-
cesses to be made in the name of the
State; the act itself is unconstitutional,
as it provides that suits shall be insti-
tuted in the name of the County Com

Counting New Greenbacks.

Years of experience have made the
counters who have been longest employed
marvelously expert and almost infallible,
their fingers passing from one note to an
other with the celerity and regularity of
some wonderful machine. The lady
who sits nearest to the chief of
the room, and who has come to
be considered a sort of assistant
to him, having sometimes performed his
duties during his absence, has been en-
gagged in the division ever since its organ
iZation in 1862, and probably has no rival
in accuracy and dexterity in counting.
On many occasions she has counted fifty
thousand notes in one day. As the nomi-
nal hours of labor are from nine to three
O'Clock, and as at least half an hour must
be deducted from this for necessary inter
ruptiOns and for lunch, the time occupied
in counting these fifty thousand notes was
five and a half hours. This is at the rate
of nine thousand and ninety every hour,
one hundred and fifty every minute, and
two and half every second The lady
informs Us that it is no unusual feat her to
pick up" bundle containing four thou
sand legal-tender notes in twenty minutes
We doubt whether this can be excelled.
If any gentleman thinks it can, let him
try the experiment of simply tapping his
finger on a table at the above rate, and
we predict that at the end of
half an hours trial he will change his
mind. There are other ladies who are al,
most as rapid and accurate. They are
sometimes called upon, with others equal
ly skillful from the redemption division,
to visit other cities, when the Treasury Of
fees in those places are to be examined,
and to assist in counting the Government
funds there.
Through this division and under these
skillful fingers has passed every note,
whether legal-tender or fractional, which
has been issued by the United States since
the beginning Of the rebellion-every note
which we have ever handled or seen-as
well as all the gold-notes, and many mill
ions of imperfect bonds and notes which
were never put in circulation. The total
value of the money which has been count
ed in this division previous to the first
day of July, 1872, was, according to the
Treasurer's last annual report, nearly two
thousand nine hundred million dollars
more than two hundred and twenty three
millions of which consisted of postal and
fractional currency. Just now, the count
ers find full employment in counting
new legal-tender and fractional notes.

The Emperor William on Broken
Engagement.

\ CURIOUS story has Just cropped up in
Cassel, Germany, touching bet made be
tween two officers there, One of the gen
tlemen, who was a Count and Adjutant,
laid down the proposition that a man of
rank and title could, whenever he chose,
marry rich heiress. He proposed bet,
indeed, that within eight days he could
get himself engaged to a certain young
lady who possessed the highly desirable
qualifications described. The bet was ac-
cepted. This young lady was the daugh-
ter of the widow of man who had been
the proprietor of gambling house, and
she was said to have half million as her
dOwrv The Count set to work to win the
girls affections, and succeeded An en-
gagement in Germany is a solemn affair,
and is always published in the newspa-
pers. However. as soon as the engage
ment was arrived at the Count claimed his
bet, and then wrote to the girl TO say that,
on account of her father having been a
gam bier, it was impossible for him to
marry her. The engagement was an
nulled, and the final results, it was thought,
of this humorous affair were large guam
tity of champagne and a broken heart
But the Emperor William heard of the lit

ii at all Probably before the large guam
titg of champagne had been drank both

under arrest At present, according to the
commands of the Emperor, they await
their trial by courtmartial; and ii is high
