BEWARE OF THE CoUNTERFEIrs is
an alarming number Of counterfeit bills, as well
as large quantity of spurious silver pieces, in
circulation throughout the country. The pub
lie should beware of the bills purporting to be
issued by the following banks, which have been
selected by the couuterfeiters as the victims of
thei, unlawful designs. Some of the COULTER
felt bills are so fuely executed that an expert
ouly can detect the difference between the bo.
gus and the genuioe: IS bills on the First Ma
tioual Bank OF Chicago, LII. IS bills on the
First National Bark of Paxou, lii. SIS bills
on the First National BaLk IT Cantor, Lii. SIS
bills on the FIRST National Bank of Peoria, IL.
SIS bills on the First National Bunk Of Aurora,
LII. SIS bills on the First National Bank Of
Galena Iii. SIS bills on the Hampden National
Bank Of Wes,held. Mass. S. bills on the Me-
chanics' National Bark of NV Bedford, Mass.
IS bills on the Traders National Bank of Chi
cugo. LII. S. bills on the First National Bank
of Louisville, KY. $40 titls 90 the Natioual
State Bank of Terre Haute, Ind. $40 bills on
the Farmers aud Manufacturers Balk, OF
Poughkeepsie, n. Y. $40 bills on the National
Bank of Utica, N. Y. There is no such ha. k
10 existence as the First National Bank cf Ga
lena, III. Necessarily, therefore, all b lis bear
ing the stamp of such bank are spurious.
AMERICAN BEEF FOR EURoPE.-An inter.
estiDg experiment is being made at the abattoir
on the Hackensack River, by Dr.. ]. J.Craven,
in order to test the feasibility of transporting
beef, without Injury, to the European markets.
A wooden structure rendered air tight has been
erected, corresponding to the tween deck of a
steamer, with beams and hooks running ongi
tudinay. Here will be hung up the dead ami
mails ID rows as closely together as 10 any OF our
abattoirs. The temperature of the compartment
is kept as low as % degrees by means Of pipes,
through which water is forced by a small pump
from tank containing ice and salt. The salt Is
held 10 solution n sufficient quantity to pre-
vent the water from freezing 10 the pipes. The
experiment was com mehced five days ago, and
i; is to be contuued for eighteen days. Should
the test prove successful most important prob
lem will have been solved. 1t will be recolIect
ed that one of the British steamers plying to
this port carrie d to Liverpool about two months
ago large quantity of beef, and when placed
10 the market it had not deteriorated The Abat-
tor andStock Yard Company IS prepared to ln-
vest sufficient capital to charter steamer which
will carry an immense supply OF meat to forelgn
markets. They only await the success OF the
experiment now 10 progress.-N. 7. Herdtd.
FIGURING ON NovsMBE ER.-The New ok
Tribune publishes an estimate of the probable
result of the presidential election in November.
1t gives to the democrats all the Southern
States except South Carolina, together with
California Connecticut, Nevada aud Oregon.
with l49 electoral votes New York, lodana,
New jersey and Colorado, with 62 votes, are
put down as doubtful states. The remaining
northern and western states, together With
South Carolina, with l5S votes, are put down
as certainly republican. The whole mum Der OF
electoral votes is 500, aud majority Is lo5,
so from the doubtful states, according to The
Tribune arithmetic the democrats wcu'd have
to draw 36, whilst u would supply the needs
OF the republicans. The Tribune remarks that
these figures show that the nominations made
by the republicans at Cincinnati have by no
means assured them victory 10 November,
however much they may have sm plhv d he
issues of the campaign and contributed to the
unity and encouragement OF the party.
AN ELEMENT OF SUCCESS. writer ln the
New York Herald says: The democrats ought
to nominate either Tildep or Thurman or some
one whose name ends in an N, or at least has
an N in it. Look over the list of Presidents
tclected such by the peope) aud see how many
names end in that letter and how few are With
out it altogether. This is the real reason why
neither Seymour nor Greeley could defeat
Grant, and for the same reason the democrats
will have by far the better chance OF Wloulng
now if they will only study the lessons OF ex
pericnce. Either Tild-n or Thurman would
be pretty sure to defeat Hayes, and l think
Cooper, too! And then there's ex Governor
Hoffman, who might put two Ms at the cod
of his name! How is it that he is never men
toned 10 this connection He would be sure
of success with the double N, aud would
make an excellent President
A HoAx.-ln cous. quence of an advertise
meut 10 one of the morning papers, calling for
5000 men to 20 to the Black Hills, there as
seubled yesterday oo the corner of Greene and
Fourth streets (the place designated IN the ad-
vertisement,) about 500 men and boys At
o'clock the crowd had taken possession of
lagerbeer saloon on the southwest corner OF the
intersection Of the streets named. and as they
heard nothing 10 reference to the proposltlon
advertised row seemed imminent. Nothing
more convenient at haud, the eoraged meu
singled out the proprietor of the saloon as the
object of their vengeance. The timely arrival
of the police prevented disturbance and dis
persed the crowd -Neso York Herald.
