EASILY SoLD.-Fools had better cut
this out and paste it in their hats. A
couple of gypsies persuaded q Kokomo,
Ind, farmer that $1O0,O in gold was
buried on his farm. They knew the
exact spot, and produced an accurate
$1,000 in greenbacks they would raise
the dust. The farmer mortgaged his
farm, obtained the stipulated number of
bank notes and gave them to the gyp-
sizes to verify by actual count. One of
them fingered them over, pronounced
the total correct, and, nnder pretense
of rolling them up again substituted as
many pieces of brown peper, which were
then tied up in napkin and handed
over to the agriculturist, with instruc-
tions not to meddle with the knots. For
$75 in gold the gypsies cleverly substitu-
ted corresponding weight in shot, and
the negotiation was completed. All that
remained for the farmer to do was to
take shoyelful of Indiana earth to Ken
t1lcky, and bring back n shovelful of
Kentucky earth to be placed in the In
diana hole. Then the gypsies would ap-
pear and raise the golden 500, 900. The
farmer obeyed, the exchange of shovel
fuls was effected, and the time arrived
for the reappearance of the gypsies. They
did not come, they continued absent,
terious knots in that atnapkin, found what
it was in the nature of things he should
find. Instead cf 800, 900 in gold, it is a
50, 900 mortgage that this Kokomo far
mer now wants to raise.

BURNING BOGUS MONEY. A short
time since some mysterious boxes were
taken to the Brooklyn On. Y.) Navy
Yard. They remained there under close
surveillance until Wednesday last, when
two strange men arrived and took charge
of them. The boxes awakened the curl
osity of workmen in the yard, which was
increased when the strangers opened
them and disclosed to their gaze new
crisp greenbacks to the amount of S10,-
00O,00 The worknen We're more as
tonished, however, when the men took
the greenbacks to foundry and burned
them in furnace. They were the pro-
duction of a celebrated counterfeiter,
and were destroyed by order of the
Government.

AN interesting historical relic has been
placed recently in the Museum of Inva-
lids at Paris. It is the armor which
Charles VII. presented to the Maid of
Orleans, and which the latter, after hav-
ing been wounded under the walls of
Paris, placed in the Church offs Denis.
1t is composed of plates of steel, weighs
over so pounds, and in all respects SIM
liar to that--now in the collection of
Pierrefonds-which belonged to Joan of
Arc at the moment when she fell into
the power of the enemy at a sortie at
Compiegne.

The latest reports from the mining
regions of Lake Superior represent in
creased activity in silver mining in that
section. -Four new silver mines have
recently been opened near Ontonagon,
and new discoveries of both silver and
copper are being made in hitherto an
explored sections, and there are reasons
for believing that the public is just be-
ginning to understand the true value of
the mineral deposits in that section.

never had any idea of marrying any man
excepting yourself, and you went off to
Mexico and nearly broke her heart.
"God, I thank Thee" cried Garnet,
and he buried his face in his hands and
wept like very child.

Three month passed, and the bachelor
home of Garnet Weston had mistress
to preside over it-a queenlY looking
woman of twenty-five, perhaps, with
dreamy, sad eyes, and face of wond-
rous beauty.
That woman was once the heiress and
bell of New York-Mabel Monteith-
who had, after long years, her first and

death, in the gulf-washed land of Me4i-

eXecutIoners OF the losing one.
Ten minutes passed, twenty, and the
game was won by Capoul Monteith,
whose face flushed crimson and then
paled again.
Garnet Weston's face never changed an
expression, for the same smile rested
there.
The second game passed quickly, Gar
net making his moves the instant Capoul
had raised his hand, and surprising all
by his reckless indifference but cool
manner.
Five minutes passed, and the second
game was won by Capoul Monteith.
"My God! Garnet, old fellow, I feel
for you from my heart" cried the win
her, the tears starting to his eyes.
Garnet pressed his friend hand, the
same smile upon his face as he said,
quietly:
'I was ever poor unlucky dog, Ca
poul; but, my friend, when I am dead
look in my saddle-roll, hanging there,
and the papers you find please deliver to
the proper address, and-and-C -Capoul,
say toto Miss Mabel I left farewell
for her.
'sGentlemen, am ready"
Courses on your Imperial humanity!
Will you slay man as though he were
hound?"..cried Capoul, angrily turning
toward the officers, for it cut him to the
heart to thus part with his friend.
ST yield to the fortunes of war, Ca
poul, and these gentlemen but do their
duty.
'Come, let it be over" replied Gar
net, aud shaking the hand of his friend
warmly, he was marched away.
Half-distracted with grief, Capoul
Monteith paced his tent, his thoughts
whirling and his brain on fire, as he
gazed al. the stool where short while be-
fore poor Garnet had sat.
An hour passed. and the American
officer of the Impeaial army stood before
him.
'Well' said Capoul, hardly daring to
ask the question.
'sHe is dead"
"God have mercy upon him." groan-
ed the sorrowing friend.
Eyes, Captain Monteith, he is dead,
and though have seen many men die I
never saw one face dead with such per-
fectly calm indifference, as did your
friend.
'sHe gave the order to the platoon to
fire, and fell Instantly; but. ere he died.
he wrote this note to you," and the
American Imperialist handed slip of
paper to CapouI, and turning left the
tent.
In Garnet's bold hand was written:
''Capoul =
'1 gave my life away to save You, for
Iloved Mabel too dearly ever to let her
brother die where L could be sacrificed
instead.
''I dare tell you this now, for stand
on the brink of my open grave.
FAREWELL Garnet"
A bitter night of sorrow passed Capoul
Monteith in that lonely tent, for well he
knew his friend had spoken the truth,
and when months after the star of Maxi
milian's crown had set in gloom, and he
resigned from tie army of the successful
Juarez, he wended his way homeward
with heavy heart, for he could not
forget that Mexican soil covered the
noble man who had fallen, sacrifice to
save his life.

Three years passed away after the
game for life or death. and one pleasant
evening, toward the sunset-hour, ahorse-
man was riding slowly along highway,
traversing a fertile valley of South
western State.
Three years had added more dignity
to the face, and perhaps saddened it.;
but otherwise no change had ever come
over Capoul Monteith's fine features.
Upon his right hand, setting back
from the road, was pretty little farm
house, surrounded by fertile fields, and
the sight promising well for nights
lodging s'for man beast" Capoul turned
in at the white gateway, and rode up to
the front door, and dismounted.
The owner of the mansion descended
the steps to greet him, and Capoul Mon
teith stood face to face acith Garnet
Weston.
"My Godl has the grave given up its
dead!" cried Capoul, in dismay.
"No, old fellow, you find me flesh
and blood ready and willing to give you
hearty welcome to this my home, left
me by on old bachelor, few months
since. But come in; I will tell you all. !"
The surprised and delighted Capoul
willingly accepted, and around we'll
spread tea table that evening heard how
Garnet had been carried forth to be
most bungGngly executed; but squad
ron of Juarez cavalry had appeared and
frightened off his executioners, ere the
the first platoon had retired, and that 3
watchful ranchero had seized him and
borne him to his rancho where, through
months of suffering, he recovered, and
was able to depart from the house of
his good friend
But it was long ere he could gain
strength enough to reach Galveston,
Texas, and there he met an old uncle,
who had carried him to his comfortable
home with him.
The kind old bachnlor was one day
thrown from his horse, and night and
day Garnet had watched by his bedside,
until death relieved him of his sufferings,
and the young man found that his uncle
had left him ali his wealth.
''But, old fellow, why did you not
write to let me know, for you know
not how have mourned for you9" asked
Capoul.
