Immediately had recourse to incan-

ing and dispensing of which the
women Of Thesaly were reckoned
the most famous, aud drove a traffic

vantage. These potions were given
by the women to the men, as well
as by the men to the women, and
were generally so violent in their
operations as for some time to de-
priye the person who took them of
sense, and not uncommonly of life.

pie, while they are among the best
and most frequented in these re-
gions. Thus, if the cooperation,
or even friendliness, Of Roumsnia
and Servia could be secured, aad if
Austria were content to remain
neutral, there would be no easier
route than this for attack on the
capital of Turkey. tits not, there
fore, surprising that there are ru-
mors of Russian advance through
Seryia instead Of by a more direct
route which would commit the
army of the czar to a passage of
the Danube and afterwards the Bal
kan range, both of which are emil
nently defensible.
But a mere glance at the map
will show that the communications
of Russian army marching by
this route would be even more than
usually at the mercy Of Austria,
which could descend upon them at
any time from the Carpathian
mountains. Whatever view be
taken of a Russian occupation of
Bulgaria or march on Constantine
pie, it is perfectly clear that the con-
sent of Austria must first be OBJ
tanned, either by negotiation or
force of arms.

TUESDAY EVENING. JANUARY %. 1871

railroad cars and stores hardly take a
second look at silver pieces as long
as they are new, and are the more
easily deceived if they sound the
money on the counter or floor,
owing to its silvery sound. The
size, mold, milling and design are
perfect. The weight is deficient, a
half dollar counterfeit piece weigh
ing fifty grains less than the genu-
inc. The following result is shown
from an assay made of one of the
spurious half dollars on the Sth
instant: Weight of genuine half
dollar, 1872 2 grains; weight of spu-
rious piece, l42 grains; composition
antimony, lead and tin; impression
perfect" Mr.. Taudy has in his
collection lot of gold coins which
have every appearance of the genu-
inc, being full weight and tone.
The $50 pieces are sawed in two
and filled with platinum, which is
worth only $6 per ounce and
weighs much heavier than gold.
One of these coins came to the
counter Of the sub-treasury among
other money and was thrown
out. On cutting it it was found to
be filled with the baser metal and
worth in gold only Sc. Eagles
filed in a similar manner are worth
SO, and SO in proportion. Some Of
the $50 pieces have a wire drilled
in after the gold was extracted.
The sweating" process is done
with a lathe, by which about the
value of Sl.25 IS turned off the rim
Of a twenty dollar piece without
detection except by an expert. One
dollar pieces contain forty per cent.
basemetal and sixty per cent. gold.
At least $50 worth Of silver alone
on an average is thrown out at the
treasury department as counterfeit,
and in gold sometimes as many
hundreds. The government Is
making every effort IN its power to
suppress counterfeiting, but is evil
IDENTITY making little headway.

Modes or OourtshIp

In one State of New Grenada, the
right Of asking is promiscuouSly
exerted by both sexes; who, when
they feel the passion of love, de-
clare il without the least embarr2ss-
ment; and among the Cossacks the
same thing iq said to be carried
sill further, aud the women more
generally court than the men.
When a young woman falls in love
with a man, she is not in the least
ashamed to go TO his fathegr'ss house
and reveal her passion in the most
pathetic manner, and TO promise
submission and obedience if he will
accept her for a wife. Should the
insensible man pretend any excuse,
she tells him she is resolved never
to 60 out Of the house till he gives
his consent; and, accordingly, tax
ing UP her lodging, remains there.
II he sti obstinately refuses her,
his case becomes exceedingly dis
trpssing; the church is commonly
on her side, and to turn her out
would provoke all her kindred to
revenge her honor; SO he has no
method left but to betake himself to
fight till she is otherwise disposed
of. AS the two sexes In Greece
had but little intercourse with each
other, and a lover was seldom fa-
yorea with an opportunity of tell
ing his passion to his mistress, he
used to discover it by inscribing
her name on the walls Of his house,
on the bark Of the trees of a public
walk or on the leaves of his book !;
it was also customary for him to

The EAsIy Use of COnI Gas.

bOAl- 4IAuo JOuTnhl
Great was the amazement of all
England when at the close of The
last century William Murdoch dis
covered the use of combustible air
or gas. So little was the invention
understood and believed in by those
who had not seen it in use that
even great and wise men laughed
at the idea. GLOW could there be
light without a wick 2" said a mem
Der Of parliament when the subject
was brought before the house. Even
Sir Humphrey Davy ridiculed the
idea of lighting the towns by gas,
and asked one of the proprietors if
they ment to take the dome Of st.
Paul's for q gas meter. Sir Walter
Scott, too, made himself merry over
the idea Of Illuminating London by
smoke, though he was glad enough.
not so long after, to make his own
house a Abbotsford light and cheer
full on winter nights by the use of
that very smoke. When the house
of commons was lighted by gas, the
architect imagined that the gas ran
on fire through the pipes, and he
therefore insisted on their being
placed several inches from the wall,
for fear of the building taking fire;
and member might be observed
carefully touching the pipes with
their gloved hands, and wondering
why they did not feel warm. The
first shop ligited in London by the
new method was Mr.. Ackermann's,
in the Strand, in 1910; and one
lady of rank was so delighted with
the brilliancy of the gas lamp on
the counter that she asked to be
allowed to take it home in her
carriage. Mr.. Murdoch was, how
eyer, too busy with other pursuits
to continue to study the use of gas,
and though he was undoubtedly |
the first to apply it to practical
purposes, many Others laid claim TO
the 'honoF, aRd other people quickly |
reaped the benefit Of his pleYerness
and ingenuity. In this he shared
the general fate Of inventors.

CouuterrcIt SILVER in New Yo,h.

Ever since the introduction Of

the OHpidity of cognterfeiters has
been aroused, and thousands of

and is daily circulated without any

JULIA DEANS REHEARSALS.


An Incident OF Her EnrIy Life.
Olive Logan in n. Y. Dispatch
Her best character was that of
" Mrs. Oakley" in the Jealous Wife.
In this she introduced a good deal
Of new stage business. She and
her father travelled together. One
afternoon they arrived in a certain
city; she had come too late for re-
hearsal, SO she sat down before the
glass and began going over little
bit of business of Mrs. Oakley"
in which she was to open. 1t CON
sisted of going into Il hysterical
fit, being much worked up after u
quarrel with her husband, throwing
herself into a chair, amid sighs and
tears.
Hal ha! bal order me a broiled
chicken ha! ha! hal"
Itwas a telling point, and always
brought down the house.
1t happened that the landlord of
the hotel had a little room, the
window Of which overlooked Miss
Deans. lie was sitting at the
window when heheard the words,
"0rder me a boiled chicken" and
mechanically started up to obey,
when the strange hysterical laugh
fastened him to the window, where
he watched the woman sink into a
chair, drop her handkerchief, and
shrek:
Hal ha! ha! Order me a broiled
chicken; ha ha! hat" Not merely
once or twice, but fifty times, with
out an apparent reason for the
monotonous proceeding.
A thought struck him. Rushing
to her room and finding the key on
the outside, he softly turned it, and
gave orders to the servants that
they were not to notice the order
for a broiled chicken, not to answer
the bell, nor to go near the room,
on peril Of their lives, as there was
a "crazy gal inside"
Old Dean had gone out-"his
custom always of an afternoon -
and usually turned up at the thea
ter in time to take Julia home.
When she wanted to go to dinner
she found herself locked in. In
vain she rang the bell; nobody
came, but hunger was nothing com
pared to the fear that she would
pot be able 10 go to the theater in
time.
She could not understand why
she had been made a prisoner.
About half an hour before the
rising Of the curtain it CHANGED
that old Dean went 10 the theater,
and not finding Julia, BECAME
alarmed and tore OF to the hotel,
but he could not get into the room
any more than she could get out Of
it, lie summoned TIE landlord to
know Wig she had been locked in.
"For public safety replied the
bonface; "she's crazy"
gCrazy Ny daughter gone
crazy!" cried TIE old man, alarmed /;
"what has she done u make you
thipk so?"
Why, she has been laughing
and crying and ordering 2 broiIed
chicken the whole afternoon"
Old Bean Immediately saw what
had caused the misapprehension.
Julia was released and hurried off
to the theater in time not to keep
the curtain down long, but so hun
cry she said before the performance
was over, ghp would have given all
she owned to have obtained q real
broiled chicken.
