that the Boston Free Religious Society
invited him to speak in their Sunday
afternoon course, and, when he rose on
the afternoon allotted to him, he coolly
prefaced his lecture by declaring that be
had no sympathy whatever with the be-
lieis OF the society; that they reminded
hi m Of certain experiments that the pro.
lessor OF chemistry used TO make to his
class In his college days. "rhey promised
well, butthey didn't work. So,"said Mr.,
Phillips, with his most benignant manner,
".his experiment Of what they call Free
Religion looks well, but II wouldn't work.
And then thanking the Society for their

orator proceeded TO give his lecture. The
correspondent Of The Tribune, Of Chicago,
recalls a morning a few years ago when
Mr.. Phillips sat at the Radical Club be-
side MI. Frnhingham. Knowing that he
should be called upon TO speak, and be-
ing unwilling to do so-ior he felt truly
that he was out Of his s%phere-he half

/ Wherever Mark went, says Edward Eggle-
ston in his new serial, Roxy" he was sue
cessiul, and everybody praised him. Mrs
Hanks, ROxy's weil-to do aunt, held forth to
Jemima upon the admirable ability of the
young man, and his great goodness and self
sacrifice in laying all his advantages of tai
ent and wealth and prospects at the foot of
the cross"
"Tll tell you what l think, Henriette,"
replied Jemima, with her customary free
dom; al think that's all fol de.rol and twad-
dle-de dee Here she set her iron down
with emphasis, and raised her Redeemed face
from her work, wiping the perspiration away
with her apron. II think it's all nonsense
for the brethren and sisters to talk that wav.
Jest ike as eff Mark had conferred an awful
favor on his Greater in lendin' Him his en-

thing to be Colonel Benamy's son and a

THE mODOCs.
Raising Corn and Cattle.
IDenison (Texasl Newsl


A gentleman just from the Quapaw Indian
agency. Indian territory, reports that the
once famous M0doc Indians, since being
placed on their reservation by the govern
ment in November, 1878, have advanced
very rapidly in civilization. The Modocs
own in their own right 600 acres of good,
tillable land, on which they have IL good
log houses, built by themselves, six double
stables, eight corn cribs, besides pens and
houses for their stock, chickens. etc. On this
land they have put within the last year a
good rail fence around 40 acres, which is
sown in wheat, which at present gives prom
Use of an abundant harvest next year, and
they have split altogether %, 900 rails, and
have over eight acres of cultivated land for
each man, woman and child in the tribe.
They have also 175 acres of corn, which will
average from 40 to 40 bushels per acre.
Fifty-nine of their children attend school at
the Ottawa, Peoria and Wyandotte missions
and they have made remarkable progress in
all the branches taught IN a common school.
Among the most prominent members of
the tribe are Bogus Charlie, Steamboat
Frank, Shack Nasty Jim, Scarface Charlie
and Long Jim. Bogus Charlie is apparently
about 80 years of age, medium height, and
very fair complexion for a full blooded
Modoc. He has GOO bushels of corn IN one
crib, and his partner, Shack Nasty Jim, has
as much more.
Steam0O Frank is tall, muscular fellow,
rather good looking, and is a hard worker.
His cribs contain about 100 bushels of corn,
and he has plenty of hogs, chickens, turkeys,
ducks, etc, around him, and, like every one
of the tribe, seems to like his new way of
living.
Long Jim has 800 bushels of corn. and is
also good farmer, as, in fact, they all are
They own in common 237 head of cattle,
of which eighty are COWS, and the farm is
worked on the partnership plan, two or three
taking as much as they can farm and sharing
the crops. They have also cut 40 tons of
hay the past season, and in fact have plenty
TO keep them, and the agent says they can,
after this year, do without any hired help to
assist and show them how to farm, or any
assistance from the United States.
Hooker jim, one of the worst men in the
tribe, and who figured so cOnspicuously in
the massacre, apparently died on the 10th of
November from fever They purchased
coffin for him on the 18th, and while placing
him in it he came TO life, and on the 18th
assisted in driving team while gathering
corn, but, unfortunately for Jim, his lamp
was extinguished for good on the nightof the
10Th.

Lafayette journal: Dangerous counterfeit
So notes of the First National bank of Han
over, Pennsylvania, and OF the First Nation
al of Tamaqua, Pennsylvania, are in circula-
ton, and a circular gives the following
description in aid of detection: In the
counterfeit So bill of the First National bank
of Tamaqua, the letter So in the word IDOL
lars has blurred look. On the back the
word owing is spelled lowing" and the
word Thousand" is spelled Thousand.
The counterfeit So note of the First Nation
al bank of Hanover is printed on the same
plate as the Tamaqua, and bears the same
characteristics, excepting the word owing
is correctly spelled. The paper is thin and
the color bad The bills are dated February
90 1864, and bear the signatures of L. E.

Shelbyville Volunteer: Circuit court spent
the first OF January graphing with the case
of Eikins against the city of Shelbyville for
damages for false imprisonment. A large
number of persons, including the city Off
Gals, were examined as TO the accommoda-
tons for guests afforded at the calaboose. 1t
was pretty well established, we believe, that
they are hardly equal to those offered at the
Grand hotel. On the contrary, several par
ties who had been rendered familiar with
the city prison by incarcerations there in
the past, testified that it was filthy place
filled with vermin and 'all uncleanness,"
not fit for hog to lie in. This case. which
many treated at first as a buriesque, assumed
a serious aspect towards the close. Judge
Hord charged the jury in way to impress
il upon their minds as a case of great i'm
poriance. They retired TO their room at an
early hour yesterday evening, and remained
out all night. At o'clock this morning the
verdict was brought into court, and I'M
sealed TO an expectant public. The jury
found for Addison M. Elkins, and assessed
his damages at s.. II is understood that
nine were in favor of allowing $500, but the
other three held out resolutely against the
plaintiff, and so the verdict was the effect of
a compromise between the conflicting
opinions.

Tne yalue of scarce Coins.

OF all the decimal United States coins the
most valuable is the silver dollar of 1904,
which is exceedingly rare. Specimens are
worth from $500 to 81, 900 each, according to
the nearness with which they approach per-
lection The coinage of this year was very
limited and there were no more dollars coined
until 1886. Proofs" of the last named year
are worth $40, and good examples SIS. There
was nothing done in dollars in 1887, and the
issues of 1883 and 1889 are rare enough TO
raise the quotations for good specimens to
$40 each. From that date forward TO 1878,
when the trade dollar came IN, there is no
break in the line of dollars, but from 1850 to
1856, inclusively, they are quoted as rare or
scarce" those OF 1851 and 1852 being worth
$50 or $40 EACH Previous to 1904 the value
of good specimen varies from $f.75 for
1899, to SIS for l79S, and 81 for 1901, save that
the first date of all (l794), which is very rare,
brings $50 Some of the early dates are made
peculiarly valuable by reason of variation in
the number and style of stars, etc, there
being three variations of lI9S and five OF
1875.
OF the silver half dollars those OF 1896 and
1877 are the most valuable, choice examples
of these dates being worth from SIS TO $40.
Good ones of other years previous to 1906
will bring from So to 81. One of this
class of 1915 is quoted at $3.50, and then
they are of little rarity until 1886,
when a specimen with reeded edge
and head of 1887 is valued at 50 or 81
The other issue of this year is worth 81. The
next dates of notes are 1850. 1851 and 1852,
valued at $3.50, $3.50 aud So respectively.
More recent dates are only valuable TO col

lectors when in perfect conditions. proofs"
of later issues only being desired, and they
range in worth from 81 25 TO IS.
Quarter dollars are likewise a speculative
issue, and therefore favorites with dealers,
particularly the dates 1928 and 1927, which
are excessively rare and command from $45
to SO each. The 1853 issue, without arrows,
is also much sought after, fair specimens
bringing from So to IS. The only other
dates worth over 81 for good examples
are: 1924, $1.50; 1922, 81; 1919, 81 10; 1915,
81; 1907, 81; 1SO6, 81; 1905, $l.50; 1904, 81;
and 1896, 81.
Silver dimes are still more valuable as a
class than the quarters, their smaller size and
more general circulation having made good
specimens rather scarce in all the earlier
dates. From 1898 back to 1706 they range in
worth from 81 TO 81, except in five instances.
The high rates are: 1924, 81 So 1926, s.;
1911 $3.50; 1902 50; 1907, 81; 1893. IS; 1902,
So; 1901, 50; 1900. 81; 1898. So; 1877, IS, and
1896, s.. And 1910, with a draped figure of
issue of 1916.
OF all the minor coins, however, an 1902
half dime is the chief in cost, the price rang
Ing from S75 to $500. according TO quality.
A good specimen of many other dates is,
nevertheless handy thing to have, as will
be seen by the following quotations: 1874.
81; 1896, 81; 1877, 50; 1900 81 %; 1901, So;
1903, 81; 1904, 81; 1910 with drapery). 81;
1876, Sl75. From that date until 1873,
when the coinage closed. no unusual worth
attaches to this class A first class specimen
of the last named date is worth 80 cents,
however.
For the three cent silver piece there is but
little call, as their period only reaches from
1851 to 1913, including both these years. By
far the most valuable of all of them is the
1855, perfect specimen of which is worth
81. From 1868 10 1869 an uncirculated one
is worth 90 cents. All the other dates are
of small value.

Never Man SO Loved q Woman.
New York Ledger.


"Never man so loved woman as / love
you" So writes young lady that her lover
said to her. He undoubtedly believed what
he said to be true. Probably every man
who has ever been in love-as what man
who is a man has not-has thought, il he has
not said, the same thing; and every woman
10 whom it has ever been said has believed it,
And yet only one man has ever lived who
could say it truly. Had Adam said to Eve,
Never man loved woman as l love thee"
he would have told the truth, because there
had been no man before him to fail in love.
IL is probable that Adam was as deeply in
love with Eve as man has ever been with
woman. At all events he loved her well
enough to ruin not only himself but the
whole human race on her account; and that
is a greater sacriise than any man since has
ever been able to make for hislove to woman.
Still it is all the same TO those in love as If
nobody had ever so loved before 1t is the
same earthly paradise as If its sacred
precincts had never been trodden by other
feet In the beginning il was so; so it is now;
and SO il undoubtedly will continue to be to
the end.

THE SWEETEST MUSIC.
BY EMILY rnoRNroS CHARLES.

All, many a day
Have wandered away,
Alone, TO the forest glade,
Where all day long
The wild birds song
Was heard in the wildwood shade.
With upturned face
Where the alders grace
The edge of the gurgling brook,
Meath the elm tree bough,
have barred my brow,
And reclined in the messy nook
Where the alders wave,
Near the brooklets lave,
And the sKy seemed dome OF blue;
While from leaves of trees,
Soft stirred by the breeze,
The sunshine was sitting through.
The ivy bringing
Its tendrils clinging,
A wreath woven bower made;
With foliage twining,
In beauty combining
To deepen the welcome shade.
When the blue bird sang,
The robins note rang;
Summers clouds seemed q floating sky
How long for that nook
Where the musical brook
Forever went singing by.
Now murmuring sad,
Now joyous and glad,
Now tenderly, soft and low;
Sweeter music I've heard
Than the notes of bird,
In the brOokIet's warbling how-
