CHURCH BELLS.

Why are churches allowed to maintain q
public nuisance without protest or prosecu-
tion7 Any other corporation or private in
dividual is forbidden by law from; interfer-
ing with the public comfort or disturbing the
rest of citizens. Churches, however, are
uermitted absolute license in these respects.
Every Sabbath morning, as early as five
O'Clock, sleepers all over st. Paul are awaken
eddy the changing Of the church bells, and
all rest and sleep are banished for the re-
nainder of the day. From that hour until
eleven there is continual "clatter and
ciangor of the BELLS" andthe tired citizen is
obliged to arise from his couch half rested
and generally out of temper. Who does not
require an extra hours sleep on Sunday
morning after hard weeks work, and who
bell-ringers who drive sleep from his
eye-lids and rest from his couch
by the incessant ding-dong that
breaks the stiffness of the Sab
bath morn? The church bells are RESPONSE
BILE for more profanity in day than the
preaching of the ministers can atone for in
year. They more than eounteract the
good accomplished in the pulpit. Nor is
this loss of rest the worst discomfort attend
ant upon the ringing of church bells. Sick
people and invalids who lie within the sound
of them are greatly injured, frequently, BY
the internal din. Their rest is broken, their
nerves unstrung, and oftentimes their DISCO
luton materially fastened by the disturb
ing noise. Altogether the ringing of the

The "three card monte tricksters" of Hen
nepin county held their convention yester-
day, and on the surface were harmoniously
happy. "Three card monte" Fletcher pulled
the string and the convention danced to the
Washburn music with an alacrity almost
painful. The St. Paul gang of tricksters
were neatly rebuked by the resolution de-
.claring that the delegates should be appor-
toned according to party fealty." That is
"a virtual declaration that the twenty four
'tricksters from Ramsey county will not be
admitted, if the twenty-four tricksters from
Hennepin can prevent it. Altogether, it is a
VERY sad outlook for the tricksters.

FIRE ESCAPE.
cccssful Exhibition of a MINES

Successful Exhibition of Minnesota In
vention.
At $3.50 yesterday afternoon were exhibi ted
the capabilities of Harner's fire escape on the
Davidson block, corner of jackson and Fourth
streets, occupied by Auerbach, Finch, Gull
bertson & Co. The occasion drew an immense
Bracket, of Minneapolis and other Judges of
such technical contrivances.
The apparatus is simple in the extreme,
merely consisting of drum around which a
flexible ladder is wound. In front of the drum
is flap, which tits upwards when not in use.
On one side Of this flap is recep-
tacle for two balls of small rope,
one rope being attached to the foot of the lad
der, and the other to the break commanding
veyable to any part of the building, by means
of which-on being pulled-the flap drops to
the edge of the cornice of the building, and at
the same time casts forth the two coils of rope,
which thus reach the pavement, and by their
means the ladder is to be pulled down or
moreover. by mounting it upon railway track
along the edge of the roof, can be instantane-
ously moved from one portion over one set
of windows to another.
The escape was thoroughly tested yesterday.
In ten seconds the ladder had descended, and
hremen were climbing up TO the roof Oh the
seventy feet high building. There was one
especial feature, however, that is worthy of
particular comment. A nozzle with line of
hose attached to the hydrant was fastened to
the end of the ladder. The hose was hoisted
to the roof and stream of water was flowing
in one minute from the time of commence
ment. Yet again, Chief Engineer Strong
swung off on the ladder while loose, was hoist
ed to the top, and lowered to the pave
ment before man. could gain
the roof by the stairway. In fact,
the whole experiment was success from be-
ginning to end, and the chiefs and firemen
present, the best judges by the way, expressed
their satisfaction with the invention, not only
as life-preserving apparatus, but as a means
of protection to property in enabling fremen
the better to accomplish their duties.

FoR the first time since the war the State
of Louisiana will be able to promptly meet
her obligations, the collection of taxes this
year being more than three times greater
than last year. This shows conclusively the
temper of the people. They would
not ply taxes as long as the govern
ment was controlled by the carpet bag
thieves, but now that the admins
tration is in the hands of men of their own
choosing, different feeling prevails. If
Louisiana is allowed to elect her own officers
there is no danger but she will at once enter
upon career of financial prosperity.

ton.

Il DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.

Be Careful and See that You Do Not Get q
Bogus 800 Bill.
It may be of interest to those who OCCASION
ally toy with 300 and $50 bills that dangerous
counterfeits of those denominations have been
put into circulation. For the information of
those who are rich enough to be enabled to
handle bills of the amounts named, a descrip-
ton Of the counterfeits is here given:
The counterfeit $1O0 bill purports to be the
issue of the Merchants national bank of New
Bedford, Mass. being of letter A, February IA,
1865. The points of difference, SO far detected.
between the genuine and counterfeit, are: LIST.
The stem of the letter y, in the name of 8. B.
the first letter in the abbreviated word Mass,
while in the counterfeit it reaches over the
letter NJ in the same word. I'd. The stem of
the letter p, in the signature of Spinner, in the
genuine reaches down below the top of the
letter + in the abbreviated word Feby., while in
the counterfeit it does not reach to within one
sixteenth part of an inch of that letter. Sd.
scene of the Declaration of Independence, on
back of the note. have the appearance Of
black dots in the counterfeit. The signatures
of president and cashier in the counterfeit are
printed. The general workmanship of the note
is excellent, but the paper appears to have
probable other counterfeits of the same de
nomination will appear on Massachusetts
banks, it will be well to keep the foregoing
tests in mind.
The counterfeit $50 bills are more dangerous,
as their amount is smaller, and, consequently,
will pass the more readily. As the plates from
which were printed the counterfeit $50 notes
on the Central National bank of the city Of
New York have been changed several times
already, aud probably will have several other
changes rung upon them, it will be well to
bear in mind that the surest test for their de-
lection is found in the fact, that wherever the
name of Il. E. Chittenden appears as register
of the treasury, and the face of the note bears
on its upper left-hand corner the words Print
ed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
U. s. Treasury Department" such q note is q
counterfeit.
The manner of showing this queer is
for parties, dressed as farmers, to visit snail
country banks or stores, and get the bills
changed. Beware of all such. 1t is not known
that these counterfeits have yet arrived in
Minnesota but they have been detected in
Illinois and in Chicago, and the probabilities
are they will not be long in reaching distribu-
ton in this region. Hence arises the necessity
for the utmost caution.
