nothing that prevented his speedy return.
The mother knew nothing of this same
writing until the overjoyed Young man
was once more at the door, and then the
meeting between him and the visitor left
nothing to be explained. The matter was
talked over among the widows and lovers
in that house of woe, and the mothers
original scruples were ovcrcome-the few
years disparity of ages was obliterated and
a rich daughter-in-law was not a Dad thing
to have in the house. The young widow
wrote to her friends and the executors of
her husbands will in Boston that she was
about to marry again, and received in re
turn the astounding information that by
the terms of her husbands will her re-
sumption of wedlock must cause the re
version of her late husbands whole for
tune, excepting a comparatively small
annuity, to his blood relations. In the
dark night of her grief. and the succeed
ing sunrise of her new love she had for
gotten this provision. She weighed the
whole merchandise of life in new scales,
and grief and money went down together,
and the proposal and the young man and
love kicked the beam. In short, she told
the young man it could not be, and she is
sordidly going on with her grief in new
mourning quarters. A man could not
have done worse than this, if he had the
matter all in his own old way.-Missouri

Astronomy as a Nuisance.

DR. THRALL, of Philadelphia, has made
very unpleasant discovery. In about
seven years Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and
Neptune will approach nearer the earth
than they have been in 1 800 years, and
the result Will be a pestilence. When
Congress has the manliness to make as
tronomy an indictable offense, then we
shall have relief, but not before 1t was
not long while since that some one pre-
dicted that the earth would be swamped
wish a deluge, and you couldn't borrow an
umbrella or pair of rubbers from any
one. The next idiot said that comet
would strike and demolish the earth in a
twinkling. Whereupon many excellent
people tied their beds and carpets about
their premises, and put cotton in their
ears, and sat down on the cellar bottom in
dreadful expectation of the shock Hardly
had this alarm passed off when another
astronomer came around to tell the people
that the Niagara Falls would be dry in
less than 1900 years, and nothing would
do but that people should hurry right out
there for farewell look, and in less than
twenty four hours there weren't people
enough in Danbury to entertain japanese
hermit. And BOW here is Thrall with
the tobacco-chewers are to be killed, and
young ladies who wear stays, and men
who bet on the wrong horse. If we I'M
derstand the old scoundrel correctly, the
only people saved are those who drink
lemonade out of a dipper and play Copen-
hagen with their aunts.-DdnbUry Meas.

Manufacturing $500 Greenback.

AN ingenious though unsuccessful at
tempt to defraud the Government has just
been brought to light in this city For
ingenuity of conception and completeness
of detail it has rarely been surpassed.
young man, scarcely twenty years of
age, teller of a downtown bank, wrote to
the Treasury Department at Washington,
enclosing $500 bill, quite worn in ap-
pearance, which he wished to exchange
for new money. This money he desired
sent to his address in this city. The letter
and bill were referred to the proper clerks
in the office without suspicion of wrong.
Upon examination, it was found that it
was trifler shorter than it should be-
This led to closer investigation, which re-
vealed the fact that it was constructed of
slips cut from genuine bills of the same
denomination, pasted together with won
derful eXactness and care. These strips, to
the number of fifteen, were pasted to a
strip of tissue paper almost invisible, so
thin was its texture. The first was cut
from the left end of a genuine note, the
second from another bill to join, the third
to join that, etc. Fifteen bills of the same
issue must have been manipulated in or
der to obtain the requisite number of
strips. So small was the portion taken
from each bill that its absence could be
easily concealed from any but a critical
eye, by joining the edges of the major and
remaining parts. The rectangular pieces
when fitted to their respective positions in
the manufactured note, were Joined with
such exactness that the engraved lines
and printed words were complete and I'M
broken.
Detectives were stationed at the desig-
mated place in this city, and when the
young man called for his answer from
Washington, he was arrested on a charge
of attempting to defraud the Government.
He was astounded at the arrest, and made
full confession of guilt Hitherto, he
had borne an unblemished reputation, and
had many and influential friends. 1t was
satisfactorily shown that this was his first
deviation from the path of rectitude, and
as his penitence was as sincere as his
grief, his friends asked for mercy. Gen
eral Spinner was presented with petition
signed by influential men in this city, who
begged him to refrain from prosecution
of the offender The culprit himself wrote
a letter to General Spinner, concealing
none of the facts, and imploring forgive
ness. In view of these circumstances, and
the fact that he was the only support of a
widowed and aged mother, and a sister of
great responsibility, the prosecution was
withdrawn. For the same reasons the
name of the unfortunate youth is suppress
ed from publication.
Here it may be stated that the pieces
taken from the $500 bills do not impair
their value, as under rule established by
Secretary Boutwell,, any bill from which
less than one-half had been taken will be
redeemed by the Treasury Department at
the full value of the original billy. y.
