THE $4,000 BUCK.
about 1.-THE Book net a rare one
and the eAdvertisement a Hoax.

A New York book-selling firm write
the following article to the N. Y.
Tribune.
We have had many inquiries as to
the name of a mysterious book for
which the enormous price of e1,000 is
offered by Mr.. Goldbourne in Lon
don, or a Mr.. Brown in New York,
and the question seems to have ac-
quired so much Importance in the
newspapers that we have thought it
worth while to say that, in our judg-
ment, the whole story is sublime
humbug, or else an obscure method of
advertising certain book' which
has lately been published in this
country. We have ascertained that
there is no B. r. Brown to be found at
500 Broadway, and there is no G..
GolbOurne, No. 35 Duke street, in the
London directory of last year. But we
are met this morning with state
ment in the newspapers that certain
Mr.. Fountain L. Fox, of Louisville, is
the fortunate possessor of this precious
work. We hope that Mr.. Fountai n
I. Fox will not, in consequence of the
forthcoming (?) thousand pounds, in
dulge in any riotous living, for the
book is nothing more or less than:

about that figure. The story of George
the Fourth and his alleged marriage
with Mrs. Fitzerbert is all told by the
Hon. G. Langsdale in his "Memoirs of
Mrs. Fitzherbert.n 8vO. London, 1856
"a book which has not been sup
pressed, and it is surprising that the
newspapers should have been so easily
led into the discussion of this "hum-
bug" Mr.. Fox's name, and the fact
that he has "received number of
dispatches" is suggestive of still an
other "sell." We might add that
there can be no reason for offering any
such reward in view of the political
importance of proving the existence of
claimant to the throne of England.
Such Importance is entirely supposi-
tions-for, from the nature of the
"ROyal Marriage Act" and the law of
protestant Succession even an or
dinary regular marriage was illegal
under the circumstances, ,and the issue
of any such marriage illegitimate.

Reproducing Old Thoughts.

Nothing is more strange than the
reproduction of old thoughts under
the guise of new and advanced opin-
ions. 1t would seem AS if the human
mind, with all its restless activity,
were destined to revolve in an endless
circle. Its progress is marked by
many changes and discoveries; it sees
and understands far more clearly the
facts that lie along the line of its route
and the modes of laws under which
those facts occur; but this route in its
higher levels always returns upon it
self. Nature and all its secrets become
better known, and the powers of ma
ture are brought more under human
control; but the sources of nature, and
life, and thought-all the ultimate
problems of being = never became
more clearly Ineligible. Not only
so, but the last efforts of human rea-
soning on these subjects are even as
the first. Differing in form, they are
in substance the same. Bold as the
course of scientific adventure has
seemed for a time, it ends very much
as it began; the men of the nineteenth
century looked over the same abysses
of speculation as did their forefathers
thousands of years before. No philos-
ophy of theism can be said to have adj
vanced beyond the book of Job. Prof.
Tyndall, addressing the world from
the throne of modern science-which
the chair Of the British Association
ought to be-repeats the thoughts of
Democritus and Epicurus as the last
guesses of the modern science mind

Then, after pause, he informed me
of another way they had of making the
French horse available. Daring the
early autumn months the rats appear
about the premises in tremendous num-
bers. They would soon overrun the es-
tablishment but for plan long since
adopted, and which not only rids the
company of the pests, but returns an
income as well. When Montfaucon
swaims with rats the carcass Of horse
is placed in a room into which the ro-
dents gain access through an opening in
the floor contrived for the purpose.
AT night, the rats, lured by their keen
ness of scent, enter the room through
these artificial rat-holes by thousands.
While they are in the midst of their
feast these openings are closed and they
are prisoners. Then the slaughter COM
mences. AS high as Is 600 have been
killed in one week in one room. The
dead rats are skinned, and the skins are
sold to Paris furriers for from one to
four francs each. They are then made
up into "four-button kids" and ship
ped to the United States.

MOSES HAWKS AND HIS BEAUTI-
Full PLAN OF MAKING MONEY.
From the Michigan True Northerner.
This doctrine of initiating the
currency by issuing an unlimited
amount of greenbacks reminds us
of one Moses Hawks, who used 20
live in Allegan and run a news
paper and single shanty. The
newspaper was run during the
period Of publishing the tax-list5,
and Moses shaved shingles the
rest of the year. Hawks was a
great man in the burgh and, as
currency was scarce in the COM
munity because no one had any
thing to purchase ii with, a bright
idea struck him He went into
his Office one morning and printed
a large batch of promises to pay
quarters, halves and dollars-and
occupied himself for several days
in affixing the autograph Of Moses
Hawks to every one of them.
Hawks, that is Moses, was now q
wealthy man, possessed of unlim-
tied resources. He bought every
thing offered for sale, and paid in
his new currency, and also loaned
it to his neighbors.
The thing worked like charm
until tax time, when something
better was required. Everybody
had sold their "truckn and taken
Hawks currency in payment. The
people fiocked to Hawks and de-
manded redemption. He redeem
ed by Issuing d new batch of scrip
and more of it.
Prior to this the scrip had pass
ed currently among the people, -
but the new issue had SO inflated
the currency that the Deople re-
fused to receive it longer, it hav-
ing become so plentiful as to be
worthless. Merchants aDd dealers
had sold their goods for the stuff,
but could not buy more with it,
Hawks was bankrupt and could
not redeem, and the people were
in bad plight.
One morning stranger present
ed himself to Hawks and demand
ed that he should redeem some
that he (the strangely had receiv-
ed in Sagatuck where he had been
to look after some business mat
tiers. Hawks declined the accom-
mediation. The stranger then ask
ed, This is good, is 1t not, Mr..
Hawks ?"
Good thunder y replied Hawks,
Ill ought to be. for every man, wo-
man and child within fifty miles
of this place has from a peck to q
half bushel of It,
But, Mr. Hawks, you redeem,

Union OfCIlurcllcs.

The Chicago Tribune appeals for a
consolidation of similar religious sects:
Suppose that the Methodist and Epis-
copalians were united in one Church,
the Presbyterians and Congregational
lists in another, the half dozen Baptist
branches in another, and the Unitarians
and Universalsts in another, cannot any
one see that the usefulness of all would
be Immediately increased, and the OPP
preserve weight of supporting so many
seperate churches would be greatly re-
leved?"
And further: "While the churches re-
main apart it is inevitable that there
must continue to be numerous little and
weak congregations, constantly in debt
and hampered for money, attended by
feeble, uninfuential congregations,
preached to by half-starved, weak min
listers. They can only pay very small
salaries, and consequently can only OBJ
tain very small preaching Starye a
preacher and you will get a starveing
sermon. The minister who does not
get enough to support himself and FAM
lily cannot be expected to have much
heart or interest in his work while hun
ger gnaws at his vtals. Such church
es cannot do anything in missionary
work. They cannot take proper care
of their own poor. They cannot con-
tribute literally to the worlds charities.
To bind aud maintain churches in q
manner to attract people requires a
great deal of money, and this keeps
them constantly impecunious In addi-
ton to this, these little churches must
be in constant competition with each
other, involving no end of wrangling
and heart burnings."
