mculds and metal found, last week,
by Policeman Larkin, to be used for
counterfeiting silver coin, and found
in the possession of Angeles and an
other Italian. 1t appears that the two
gentlemen were innocent, and that
there was no attempt to initiate the
currency by counterfeit dimes, quarters
or half-dollars. Judge Baker, before
whom the men were tried, says there
is no law Furnishing any one for being
in possession of cngravers' plates OF
counterfeiters' noulds. Innocence and

permanently benefit the Indians, or To Sc
cure peace, is to put them directly uuoer

THE AUTOMATIC CHESS PLAYER
There has recently arrived from Europe a
most wonderful aud mysterious machine
called the automatic chess player. While
in Europe this machine defeated some Of
the most prominent players. Oh Saturday
it was placed on exhibition al the Aquari-
um, aud shown for the first time. Invita-
tions were sent to some of our best players
to play against it, and, in most cases, the
machine proved the victor. There were a
number of persons who tried conclusions
with it, but for some reason they refused
to make themselves known. The figure
represents Turk in national costume
seated upon cushion or ottoman, with
crossed legs and the chess board directly
in front of it. The player sits opposite,
and when the latter makes a move the fig
ure, after a moments apparent study of
the position, moves its piece in accordance
with the position of the players piece.
Inside the figure, which is opened, is a
large number OF strings and puIleys, which
being once sci in motion, continues moving
until the game is finished. 1t lis a most re-
markable machine, aud thus far has defied
all attempts to discover from what cause
/ it moves-and seems to think for itself into
what position the pieces are TO be placed.
Much amusement was caused by The use
less efforts Of persons to discover the secret,
which i'll remains mystery to all except
the exhibitor.-Nel1 York Nsvs.

THs silver bill continues TO be the lead

ate, and il is uncertain when the vote will
be taken on it's final passage. If the bill
becomes law the reputation for flnanc ial
wisdom Of its friends Us we'll as its enemies 5
will either be permanently made or perma-
nently marred. If it produces the magical
effects upon the business interests of the
country which it's advocates claim it will,
they " i'll be hailed by the people with loud
acclaim but if the result should turn out
other wise, they will be politically damned
now aud forever, and the possession of
superior wisdom and craftsmanship will be
accorded 20 its enemies. The practical re-
suits Of the measure will thus effectually
settle the future political fate of Senators
aud Representatives who, on the one hand,
lave promised the people that it will prove
to be sure remedy for all their present
business ills, as well as Of those on the 9TH
or extreme who have confidently predicted
from its adoption the most disastrous con-
sequences.
