A OuecH's Death.

ELIZABETH OF ENGEANDs LAST DAYS.
If the ministers and courtiers were
counting on her death, Elizabeth had no
mind to die. She had enjoyed life as the
men oil her day enjoyed it, and now that
they were gone they chung to it with
fierce teaacity. She hunted, she danced,
she tested with her young favorities, she
coauettcd and scOlded and frolicked at
sixty-seven as she. had done at thirty.
"The Queen" wrete courtier few
months before her death, twas never so
gallant these many years nor so set upon
iollity" She persisted, IN spite OF oppo-
siton, in her gorgeous progress from
country house to- country house. She
chung to business as of old, and rated in
her usual fashion lone who minded
not giving up some matter Of account"
But death crept on. Her face became
haggard, and her fame shrank almost To
a skeleton AT last her taste for finery
disappeared, and she refused to change
her dressfor a week together. A strange
melancholy settled down on her.
"She held in her hands, says one who
saw her in her lastdays, "a golden cup,
which she often put 10 her lips; but IN
truth her heart seemed too tull 70 need
more filling.
Gradually her mind gave wa. She
lost her memory, the violence of her tenn
per became unbearable, her very courage
seemed 10 forsake her. She called for
sword to lie constantly beside her, and
thrust it from time to time through the
arras. as il she heard murderers stirring
there. Food and r,St became alike DIS
tasteful. She sat day and night propped
up with pillows on u stool, her finger on
her lips. her eyes fixed on the floor with
out a word. If she once broke the ST.
lence it was with flash of her old queen
illness. When Sir Robert Cecil declared
that she must so to bed the word reused
her like atrumpot
"Must.} she exclaimed; 'is must
word to Do addressed to princess Little
man, little man! thy father, if he had
been alive, burst not have used that
word
Then, as her anger spent itself, she
sank into the old detection.
"Thol art so psesanptuous,' she said,
"becauge thou knoweat that / shall die"
She rallied once more when the minis

nanSerou. Counterfeits.

Dangerous counterfeits of the denomin-
itiou of 800 and $50 have been put in circu
lation. The counterfeit 500 purports to be
the issue of the Merchants National Bank of
New Bedford, Mass, being of letter A. Feb.
l4,1S65. The counterfeit $50 bills are more
dangerous as their amount is smaller and
consequently will pass the more readily. 1t
will be well to bear In mind that the surest
test for their detection is found in the fact,
that wherever the name of L. E. Chittenden
appears as register of the treasury, and the
note bears on the upper left-hand corner the
words printed at the Bureau of engraving
and Printing, U. S. Treasury Department"
such note is counterfeit. The manner of
showing this "queer" is for parties, dressed
as farmers, to visit small country banks or
stores, and get the bills changed. Beware of
all such. 1t is not known that these counter
fets have vet arrived in Minnesota, but they
have been detected in Illinois and in Chicago,
and the probabilities are they win not be
long In reaching distribution in this region.
Hence arises the necessity for the utmost
caution.

A DelIDerate Wan.

Mr.. Watkins, of Main Street, says the
Cincinnati Breakfast Table, is probably
one OF the most deliberate men that ever
went to sleep in church. He has way

him long ago. Even boy on an errand

can be authenticated.
