A Dangerous COunterfeit.

About $1,000 of the counterfeit IS
notes on the Tamaqua (Pa.) National
Bank were successfully worked off. It
is acknowledged by the Washington Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing that
this counterfeit is almost perfect-much
better in workmanship, in fact, than any
thing the bureau itself can do. It was
done by German, whose whereabouts
is unknown, and who is supposed to have
been in communication with only one
person for the past three months. The
regular issues of the bank are numbered
1919, but the bill issued by the coun-
terfeiters is numbered 295. The coun-
terfeits are not printed on fiber paper,
and there are typographical errors on
the back by which they may be detected,
such as the omission Of the last "n" in
owning" and the use of the letter
Gu in the last syllable Of " thousand. ;"

Power of PRAYER.

The Baltimore american, speaking of
the criminal hanged at Harrisburg, Va,
the other day, says: Zone singular
thing connected with this murder is
worthy Of mention. At the funeral of
Lawson the officiating minister prayed
that God would blight the trees from
the spot where Lawson was assassinated
to the murderer's home, and it may
sound strange, yet 1t is true, the trees
from where his body was found in the
direction Of Shif1et's house are all
blighted and dying, while all the other
trees around are perfectly healthy. This
story has been in circulation here for
some time, believed by few, but
doubted and made fun of by many Last
Sunday several gentlemen representing
city dailies, who had arrived to do the
execution, visited the spot and found it
an actual fact.

How to Grow Cheerful.

Disease. is in great many-perhaps the ma
jority-of instances the underlying cause of
mental depression. It will almost invariably
be found, for instance, that hypochondriacs are
dyspeptic, bilious subjects, and all persons who
have had any experience of such cases are
aware that sufferers from diseases of the kid
neys and bladder are especially subject to fits of
dependency. The sure way to overcome de-
preston is to try course of Hostetter's stom-
ach Bitters, q cheering cordial which is pecul-
iarly antagonistic to the "blues," as well as to
the causes which produce them. This popular
and efficacious corrective of a disordered condi-
ton of the system remedies the most obstinate
cases of indigestion, bihousness and constipa-
ton, overcomes disorders of the urinary or
gans, purifes and enriches the blood, and re-
stores vlgor to the body as well as elasticity to
the mind

An Oriental Incident.

The Russo Turkish war revives an old
story. A Turkish and Russian officer
once fell into dispute as to the supe-
riority in discipline of their respective
soldiers.
81 can prove to you on the spot, !"
said the Russian, chow perfectly our
men are trained" And he called his
orderly.
Ivan r
"Sir."
$50 to Mehemet's, buy me pound
of tobacco, and come back at once. :"
The soldier saluted, turned on his
heel and went out
Now" said the Russian officer, TAX
ing out his watch, "my orderly is walk
ing straight to the next corner, where he
must turn-now he is turning he
is opposite the white mosque-now he
is crossing the maydan-now he is at
Mehemet's-now he is buying the to-
bacco-now he is coming back-now is
on the block below us-now he is at the
door-now and the Russian called

"Ivan -
"Sir."
Where's the tobacco? 2"
Here, sir.
The Turkish officer, showing no sign
OF surprise at the precision of this
Russo-tobacco movement, promptly
broke out: "Ho! no ! my soldier can
do that every day in the week." and he
called:
+" Muhctar p
"Sir."

bring me pound Of tobacco. My pipe

Instantly, sir.
Following the tactics of the Russian
officer, the Turk pulled out his watch
and went on:
CHOW Muhctar is in the street; now
he is passing the 1oalpooch bazaar; now
it is noon and he is saying his prayers;
now he is drinking at the stone fountain;
now Ali Efendi halls him and asks about
my health; now MThctar is paying for
the tobacco; now he is coming back by
another way; now he is on our street;
now he is at the door; now
"Muhctar !" shouted the officer.
"Sir."

A Model Life INSURANCE Co.

We have just been favored with copies of the
Official report of the Insurance Commissioners
for New York, Massachusetts,, Maryland, Illinois
and Wisconsin, who were some time ago de-
puted to make a thorough examination of the
affairs of the greatest Life Insurance Company
Of the Northwest, the Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance Company of Milwaukee The
examination made by them was undoubtedly
one Of the most exact and complete on record,
for every one of the gentlemen named is prac-
tically conversant with every detail of the in
surance business. The Commissioners say that
"every facility was granted them for the full
examination" The examination of the invest
ments of the Company, the Commits sionerg say
ton loans and mortgages are nearly two
thirds of the assets, and develops the most
vigilant care and faithfulness in determining
the validity of titles, and the margin of security
appears in every instance to have been largely
in excess of that required by the insurance laws.
being, in the aggregate, nearly four times
greater than the amount loaned"
The Examining Commission further say
"We have caused q re-valuation of all the real
estate on which the Company has placed its
loans. This re-valuation has been made en-
tirely independent of the Company or it's man
ayers, by competent and experienced appraisers
appointed by the Commission in each of the
seventeen States In which the loans are dis
tributed."

DoNALDsONyIILE SATURDAY,

Gen. Gibson of Ohio, and other noted
orators, are held in reserve. The
legal part of the work is better organ
lied than it has ever been. The rum
shop that is caught without a license,
or that in any way transgresses the
law, is held to all the penalties pre-
scribed. And as good lawyers with
plenty Of money are employed, they
worry the sellers terribly. 1t is no
joke to them to be arrested, for the
old tricks of indefinite postponcments
and straw bail are not allowed to work.
They have worried nearly two hun
dred bucket-shops out of existence.
The excise law which restricts the
sale of liquors to inns, is being rigidly
enforced and consequently all the
dirty little gin mills are putting up
the requisite three cots in their little,
dirty back-rooms. The temperance
people are working for decision to
block this game, and they will doubt
less get it.
The Universal Life Insurance of
this city is now in hot water, the
State Superintendent having made it
the subject of q special report, in
which he charges mismanagement on
the officers and recommends that the
company be placed in the hands of a
receiver. The company will resist
such a step, and insists that its affairs
are in solvent condition. But sus-
picion in respect to other companies
has so often been confirmed, that the
public is quite prepared to believe
the worst, and the company is already
dead in public estimation. Mr.. Eurder,
the Vice President, is also the fnan-
cial manager Of the Charter Oak of
Hartford, which is pretty generally
understood to be in bad way al
though, as in the case of the Uni
versal, its solvency is insisted upon
by it's officers and by some outside
experts besides. But clean repu-
tation is so vital to institutions whose
breath of life is the popular conf
dence, that to be suspected of weak
ness or fraud is almost the same as to
be guilty, in disastrous effects; and
only those companies can hope to
prosper, who stand, like Casar's wife,
above suspicion.
Business begins to revive with the
confidence the new crop inspires.
Orders for goods are coming in already
from the country that has harvested
its wheat. There will be q good fall
trade. PIETRO.

The Mixed School Question.
louisiana State Register.]


Tn this city the subject of mixed
schools is again attracting coasidera
ble attention. Owing to the recent
action of the school board, the whole
question is being discussed with a
vigor worthy of new issue. This
question has long been settled, if not
in accordance with law, to the gene
raj satisfaction of the people who are
mostly interested. The constitution
of The State declares shat 'no sepa
rate schools shall be established by
the State of Louisiana 1t is an open
question whether this provision was
intended to apply to either the city
or parish schools. That it applies to
schools established by the State, such
as the Agricultural and Mechanical
College, we presume no one disputes.
The white people of this State have
never manifested any eagerncss to
send their children to a colored
school. A portion of the colored peo-
ple have occasionally demanded as
legal right the privilege of sending
their children to school with whites,
and in order to maintain &; proper po-
litical standing, it was necessary for
some white Republicans to maintain
that the constitution did not recog-
nize any school where both races
were not indiscriminately mixed. In
many localities. in this State there
have always been separate schools.
| G.. C.. Antoine, late Lieut.. Governor
of the State, was member Of the
convention that framed the present
constitution. 1t is reasonable to sup
pose that he understood its meaning.
and especially of the article relating
to schools. He was for many years a
prominent member of the school
board of Caddo parish, and he DOUBT
| less exercised a'controlling interest in
it. The schools in that parish have
always been separate. In Baton
Rouge, j. Henri Burch was a long
time secretary and treasurer of the
board. As he controlled the funds
and was State Senator, he also had
a great influence in a school board
that was appointed principally on his
recommendation There have never
been any mixed schools in this par
ish. Senator Stamps was also a
member of the school board in this
city. In his district the schools have
always been kept separate. These
facts conclasively prove that a laig
portion of the moro respectable and
better informed colored element are
of opinion that the constitution does
not establish mixed schools. If they
believed differently Messrs. Antoine
Bureh and Stamps would certainly
have enforced the Law when. they ha(
the power.
