IT was about 1854 that the first at
tempts at forgery on a tremendous
scale were discovered by the bank.
A rogue of genius, generally known
from his favorite disguise as "Old
Patch" by a long series Of forgeries
secured sum of more than 92O0, 900.
He was the son of an old clothes man
in Monmouth street; and had been a
lottery-ofice keeper, stockbroker, and
gambler. At one time he was part
ner with Foote, the celebrated comedi-
an, in brewery. He made his own
ink, manufactured his own paper, and
with private press worked Oft his
own notes. His mistress was his on
ly confdante. His disguises were
numerous and perfect. His servants
or boys, hired from the street, always
presented the forged notes. When
seized and thrown into prison, Old
Patch hung himself in his cell.

BILLINGS ON MMK.-I want to say
something. want to say something
in reference to milk az fertilizer.
There are various kinds ov milk
sweet milk, sour milk, skim milk, but
ter milk, COW milk, and the milk of
human kindness; but the mostest best
milk IL the milk that hasn't the most
water in it. Butter milk izzent the
best milk for butter. Milk IL sponta-
neous, and has done more to encour-
age the growth Of human folks than
any other likwid. Milk IL lacteal; it
IL also aquatic, while under the pat
ronage of milk venders. Milk IL mys-
terious. Cokernut has never been
solved yet. Milk il also another
name for human kindness. Milk and
bread il a pleasant mixtur. Some
times if milk is allowed to stand too
long, a scum rises to the surface,
which is apt to scare folks that live in
cities, but it dozzent follow that the
milk IL nasty; this scum is called
kreme by folks who inhabit the coun-
try. Kreme is the parent of butter,
and butter 10 cents pound. The
most common milk in use, without
any doubt, il skim milk. Skim milk
is made by skimming the milk, which
is considered sharp practiss. Milk il
obtained from cows, hogs, woodchux,
rats, squirrels, and all other animals
that have hair Snaix and geese
don't give milk l forgot to state, in
conclusion, that cows milk, if we'll
watered, brings ten cents per quart.

REAL AND APPARENT WAsrE.-All is
not waste that seems such. The time
spent in the pasttime of childhood and
youth is funded in health and strength,
and whole exchequer of delighted
memories, on which the man or wo-
man can draw at will. The time
spent at school and for cultivation, is
a splendid investment for all after
years. The time taken out of busi~
ness for needful rest and recreation is
not wasted, but saved. The danger
is not that we shall rust out, but that
we shall wear out and break down be-
fore our time. The men who live on
the jump, in a perpetual rush and
whirl, as though an instant were eter-
nifty and their fate depended on its
use, are more wasteful of time than
movers to a slower measure and III
more leisurely ways. The man who
bolts his dinner as though he had a
set of mill-stones in his stomach. to
grind the food he does not stop to
chew, may save five minutes in q day;
but he may lose hours of sleep and
months in debility, and carry a shat
tered constitution to premature
grave. A distinguished physician
said it would be wise economy for
every business man to spend one year
in ten in travel, or comparative leis-
ure.

IMITATION OF Precious STONES There
is in Paris a vast establishment-the
most extensive of its kind in the
world-where the imitation Of pearls,
diamonds, and precious stones gener-
ally, is carried on with all the skill
which modern ingenuity renders pos
sible, and these productions are sent
to the shops of all lands. Here the
whole process of Transforming few
grains Of dirty, heavy looking sand
into diamonds of sparkling hue is con.
stantly going on. The sand thus en-
ployed, and upon which the whole art
depends, is found in the forests of Fon-
tainbleau; it. appears to possess some
peculiar qualities of adaptation to this
purpose. The coloring matter for i'm
itating emeralds, and sapphires is en-
tirely mineral, and has been brought
to high perfection. Hundreds of op-
eratives are employed in polishing the
co'ored stones and in lining the false
pearls with fish scales and wax. The
scales of roach and dace are chiefly
employed for this purpose; they have
to be stripped from the fish while liv
ing, or the glistenins lines SO much
admired in the real pearl will not be
initiated. These Paris pearls have
been OF late years SD perfected that
Roman pearls has to. great extent
been superseded. The setting is al
ways of real gold, and the fashion Of
the newest kind.

GOLDEN WORDS. The habit of look
ing upon the bright side is invaluable.
Men and women who are evermore
reckoning up what they want instead
of what they have-counting the diff
culties in the way, instead of contriv-
ing means to overcome ilem-are al
most certain To live on corn bread,
fat pork and salt fish and sink into
unmarked graves The world is sure
to smile upon a man who seems to be
successful; but let him so about with
a crest-fallen air, and the very dogs
in the streets will set upon him. We
must all have losses. Late frost will
nip the fruit in the bud, banks will
break, investments will prove worth.
less, valuable horses will die, and chi
ma will break, but all these calamities
do not come together. The wise
course to pursue, when one plan fails,
is to form another; when one prop is
knocked from under us, to fill its place
with . substitute, and evermore count
what is left rather than what is taken.
When the final reckoning is made, if
it appears that VIC have lost the f.
nal consciousness of our eternal recti-
tudc; if we have kept charity toward
all men; if by the various discipline of
life we have been freed from follies
and confirmed in virtues, whatever we
have lost, the great balance sheet will
be in our favor.

The Belgian papers announce that
the death OF the unhappy Carlotta, the
wife of MaXimilian, once emperor of
Mexico, is daily expected. During the
last years OF her eventful life the SOM
Der darkness of mental night has rest
ed upon her, and even the consolation
of forgetting, in insanity, her misfor-
tunes have been denied her. The light
of this worlds pleasures, though not
the gloom of its pains long since went
out for her; and that she should not
follow her brave and unfortunate hus-
band to the grave may be regarded as
the only happiness which the future
had in store for her, and rs a grateful
relief to the royal hearts who have
watched over her desolate years with
constantand loving tenderness.

MANY of the banking men and capt.
talists are in favor of the constitu-
tional convention repeating the usury
clause in the present instrument and
letting the matter rest with the legis-
lature. The objection TO this is that
any usury law the Legislature might
pass, however so just, might be more
easily repealed than if the rate is made
constitutional. However, THE HERALD
will not oppose the means or method
used, so n law which is fair to the
moneyed men and the people, too, is
enforced.

The New York Tribune says: The
alter managers, hotel proprietors, and
keepers of restaurants in this city do
not appear to be much disturbed by
the passage OF the civil rights bill. Sew
eral say they will be guided in their
course by the advice Of counsel, while
others boldly admit their determina-
ton 10 evade or violate the law. Near
~ all are agreed in the conviction that
to give the same treatment to colored
guests as to white would ruin their
business The colored people them
selves--so far as their views have been
heard in New York-seem to like the
bill little better than the hotel men.

JUDGE POLAND has striven faith
fully to redeem himself from the odium
of his press gag law by his action IN
the Arkansas matter. awhile the
lamp holds out to bnrn the vilest sim

the Judge was that he got to fooling
with the newspapers, and not under
standing the danger of tampering with
them, he got "caught in the sharp
teeth Of the types and was held up to a
grinning world" There has been a
similar case in this state. The sufferer
was a district attorney who fooled with
the newspaper. His case.is very sad

Hebert, who seems to see good deal

Tom Ochiltree did, that he will do every

south. He is just six years behind
time. His record is made. These
death-bed neutrality-suspicious. will not

Endorsements of the PeopIe,s RemetIx.

When ski lful and cautious medical men
give over their own signatures II favorable
opinion OF the soothing and vitalizlng effects
ofa preparation, the public does not hesitate
TO believe them. The voluminous and EN-
phatic professional testimony In favor of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, as a specific for
all disorders ofthe stomach and bowels, for
liver complaint, intermittent and remittent
fevers, and the thousand Ills that wait upon
dyspepsia, must convince the most skeptl-
cal. Aside, however, from the testimony OF
the faculty, there Is large mass OF evidence
from patients In every walk of life, all show
ing that this great preventive and restora-
tive is of inestlmable value 10 the sick and
the debi'itated. The bitters are suited to all
climates, and are universally endorsed as q
preventive Of disorders caused by miasma
and impure water.

Referring 10 the revenue bill as
passed, the New York Tribune snys
"rhe effect of leaving out the tax on
whisky on hand can hardly be appre-
ciated by those who are unfamiliar
with the subject. II puts into the pock-
cts Of the owners Of spirits a clear prof
II of twenty cents on every gallon, or
eight dollars on every barrel of whisky
now made. The profits TO some single
distillers in the west VIII be II ,000, 900
each, aud the lowest estimate Of the
aggregate profit is S., zoo, 600 to 81, 000,-
900. The bill rs originally reported
would have brought this money into
the treasury" Cincinnati distillers had
thirty days in which to produce spirits
while this bill was pending, and du-
ring that time manufactured 100000
gallons OF whisky, which, according TO
the estimate made, realized for them
$3.50, 600. Louisville and other man
ufacturingor producing cities did equal
