Three honest Chicagoans had ten
dollar bill-rare circumstance. Some
body told them it was a counterfeit.
They agreed to pass it quietly and di-
vide the change. A dispute followed
as to the shares, and one of the trio
turned informer. The Others were ar
rested, and the case came up in court.
A treasury expert was sent for. The
expert examined the bill. 1t was not
counterfeit. 1t was genuine. The hon.
est Chicagoans were liberated. Ev-
erybody happy but the informer.

From the Times of March %.

Some inhuman person has been
amusing himself the past few days by
poisoning number of dogs about
town. This would not have been so
bad had the dose been sufficient to
kill, but it seems it only sickens some
of the animals, and the poor wretches
are lying about the streets in great
agony, some of them being barely able
to crawl.
Yesterday Captain Pishon called in
to Craig's gunsmith shop TO get "A re-
volver which he had left there for re-
pair AS he was stepping out of the
door with the revolver in his hand he
saw Judge Willis ahead of him and
called to him to stop. A lady passing
by hearing the order and seeing the
weapon took in the situation atl
glance, and jumping before the gall
liant Captain, begged him in frantic
tones not to shoot. The Captain and
Judge settled their difficulty amica-
bly, by retiring to AL. Rodgers, and or
dering two straight, without sugar.

SAN FRANCISCO, 23d.-The defalca-
ton at the Mint is some $4,000 and
the defaulter is Jefferson l.. Babcock,
late coiner. A few weeks since he
gave way to a successor and from the
fact that all the friends of the late
coiner were dismissed at the same
time it was surmised that all was not
as it should be, but the facts in the
case have just be en- developed. 1t is
now asserted that Babcock appropri-
ated to his own use sum of money
given at $4,000 and it was in conse-
quence of the discovery of this defal-
cation that he was removed from the
position. 1t appears that General La
Grange, Superintendent of the Mint,
was anxious that the matter should
not be made public and he made ev-

Mint, is expected home by the mid
die of the mouth. 1t is understood
that the appropriations for carr ing

The Mint is now chiefly employed

Eastern market. There are ia boxes
$4,000 eaeh-aGd sc sacks of dimes
awaiting shipment besides 10 boxes
of 2D-cent pieces. The Mint has not
capacity sufficient To accommodate
the demand upon it, and ON Wcdnes-
day no less than 10000 ounces of
silver were refused aud sent on TO
San Francisco. A feature of the
Mint is new pair of scales of the
capacity of 5000 ounces. They are
so finely adjusted that a fraction of Il
hair will turn them. They were
manufactured by Henry Troenmer,
of Philadelphia. TIL, Carson Mint

A Specimen of Pension Swindler.

To illustrate how the Government is
swindled in the payment of pensions,
one instance is furnished by Judge
Burnham, the Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury. 1t appears that in 1872 a
merchant doing business in Richmond,
KY, dug cellar, and one night per-
son living in neighboring village fell
into it. He alleged that he broke his
arm and was paralyzed in the right side
as a result of the fall. Suit was entered
for $4,000, and judgment was given
the sufferer in the sum Of 81, 500. Sub
sequently the merchant ascertained that.
the injured man was pensioner upon
the Government. Inquiry at the Pen
sion Office developed the fact that he
was and had been since 1866. The
strangest part of the story is that he was.
pensioned for the identical injuries in
