COUNTERFEIT PLATES Yesterday morning
a man fishing off Portland Bridge hooked up a
lot of counterfeit copper plates for making
fractional currency. They were at once taken
to the office of the United States Marshal.
One is the back of S. bill, well executed.
though faint in the lines, as if much used. The
others are for fifty and twenty five cent scrip.
1t is thought that they belong to den of

Braley, who was recently arrested, and, becom-
ing frightened, attempted to HIDE their plates.

READ THE PAPERs.-At this time especially
every one should. read the daily papers and
keep informed in regard to the tricks which the
sharpers, as we'll as the tramps, are playing.
The newspapers do their best to inform their
readers of the games in practice, and if the
people will read and remember, they might be
saved great deal of trouble and expense. But
they don't; they take up paper and cast their
eye over it hurriedly and lay it aside. Then
they complain that "the papers haven't got
anything worth reading" The same day a
man calls at the door add asks for some demi.
johns TO get some wine in for Capt. -. Of
course he will get them, and if they arn't in the
house, they are borrowed for the occasion, not
withstanding the papers of the same day ex-
posed this mans game. Then the demijohns
are taken to store a short distance and sold
for what they will bring. The man at the store
takes the papers, too, but he hasn't read of
the game, and so buys the articles, and the
next day is obliged to give them up to the
rightful owner.
The above is bat one instance out of many
which might be given, to show with how little
care the daily papers are read by the people.

Sketch by Taine.

SAotGh " Anhhes
One full blown, in a white embroidered
skirt, with a plated waist, looked like a
Venetian woman Of the Renaissance,
Above the divine softness of the satin
you saw her curved and pearly neck, aud
on the blonde tresses Of her abundant
hair a simple band of floating lace. She
seemed tall and straight as a Diana in
the long folds of her native dress; her
bodice, ornamented with silver EN-.
broidery~, delicately suggested the thought
of a dashy husssr. She walked rapidly,
aad her dragging train trembled like the
drapery of a goddess, while the bouquets
OF brilliants in her hair flashed like
sword-blades. Another frail, slight, the
face projecting, with a thin nose, trem-
bling lips, pale eyes, and hair all in dis
order beneath her diamonds, seemed to
emit flashes and sparks from every part
Of her person. Seated or standing she
never seemed to touch the ground. The
inward mettle, the irrepressible ontbursts
and contortions Of her nervous organiza.
ton, sent momentary shivers through
her nervous frame. About this slight
neck ripples a row of diamonds-a circle
of living eyes, pale as the flaming eyes
of magic serpents. These women chat
and seem delighted with their converse.
