amount Of this money which was printed
in New York or Philadelphia during the
three years, for it was generally sold by
the thousand pieces, and it was printed
and finished as parties wanted it. This
is Acton's story, as told by himself He
added, in conversation, that he had four
OF Hoes presses running on these coun-
terfeit notes. He used to ship large
boxiul every day. They were purchased
by ban ks Mt Atlanta and Charleston !;
also by business firms in New York, who
used them whcrewith to purchase cotton
at the South. Among the frms men
toned were Sackett, Belchcr & Co. The
notes were printed on water marked
paper. The newsdealcrs Gid great bus
mess In them. Acton was liberated from
Fort Lafayette, as he alleged, nom mo-
tlves of public policy. He said that
General Sickles and the United States
Marshals at New York and the Cabinet
officers at Washington we're aware of tho
nature Of his transactions, and were will
ing to allow him to continue them un-
molested, provided he did not make them
too public. For this reason lie withdrew
his advertisements from the newspapers.
The motive for this official connivance
was that the Confederate States might be
injured by the circulation of the false
money he printed. The British had
counterfeited the assignats and mandats
of the French Revolutionary Govern
ment and the notes of the American Con
tinental Congress, and it was considered
legitimate means of intlicting damage
upon State with which we were at war.
Acton averred that Secretary Stanton
was particularly well aware of his trans
actions, and connived at them. He used
to sell the counterfeit notes at three cents
on the nominal dollar. There were
othera engaged in the same business
some in Philadelphia, others in Boston.
He was Of the opinion that from me-
third to onc-half of all the Confederate
money afloat consisted of these Northern
connterfeits. He himself had made moro
than million of dollars profit, all of
which was thrown away on the stock
market. When the historical character
and details of these revelations are con-
sidcred, it must be confessed that the
death of this poor miner has brought TO
light very extraordinary story.-,Sdn

1t WAS on hot day in the month of
June, 1S63-the day before the com.
mencement of the northward movement
which eliminated at Gettysburg-that
"Grubby," with many others Of his regi-
ment, was sent to do picket 6rty at a
point on the Rappahannock, somo two
miles below Fredericksburg. About 10
o'clock A. M. he was duly posted close to
the edge Of the abrupt bank of tho
stream. On the opposite shore and per-
haps one hundred feet distant we're the
enemy's pickets pacing to and fro. There
was no picket shooting being done at
that time, and although the opposing
lines were only separated By the narro~
river, they placed their "beats" in full
view Of each other without fear. After
"Grubby' had held hs position some
twenty minutes he approached the senti-
mel on his right and asked for chew of
tobacco, but the party accosted never
used the weed" and was unable to sup
ply his wants. The sentinel on his ie !.
was interviewed with tho same ill-success.
The case now began to look desperate,
an hour and half yet before the relief
would come, and no tobacco. He slung
his gun over his shoulder and walked to
and fro in mechanical sort of way, the
very image of despair. But presently he
halted, faced quickly to the opposite
shore. and called out in subdued tone
to the Confederate sentry: "Say, You
fellow over there have you any to-
backer?" "Yes," camo the quick res
ponse. "Will you gim' me chaw if I'll
come over?" YES" said Johnny. In
a twinkling "Grubby" inverted his gun,
thrust the bayonet in the ground, peeled
off his clothes and was in the water pull
ing for the other side. He got his to.

MAKING LUMBER FROM STRAw.-Mr
s. ii. Hamilton. of Bushucil, ILL.,, has
discovered a process for making hard
wood lumber out of common wheat straw,
with all the effects of polish and finish
which are obtainable on the hardest of
black walnut and mahogany, at as little
cost as clear pine lumber can be manu-
factured for. The process of manufac-
tuly rs explained by Mr.. Hamilton is as
follows: Ordinary straw board, such as
is manufactured at any paper mill, is
used for the purpose. AS many sheets
are taken as are required. These sheets
are passed through chemical solution,
which thoroughly softens up the fiber
and completely saturates it. The whole
is then passed through succession of
rollers, dried and hardened during the
passage, as we'll as polished, and comes
out of the other end of the machine,
hard, dry lumber, ready for use. it is
claimed that the chemical properties
hardening in the fiber entirely prevent
water -sUa&ing, and render the lumber
combustible only in very hot fire. Tho
hardened finish on outside also makes it
imperyious to water. The samples ex-
hibited could hardly be told from hard
wood lumber, and in saving the differ
ence could not be detected. 1t is suscep-
tible.of a very high polish, and samples
of imitation of marble, mahogany, ETC.,
were shown which might deceive the
most experienced eye. Not only does
Mr.. Hamilton claim substitute for
lumber in sash, doors and blinds and
finishing stuff, but also as substitute for
black walnut and other woods in the
manufacture Of all kinds of fine furniture,
coffins, etc., and also an excellent substi-
tute for marble in marbla-top tables,
mantelpieces, bureaus, etc. He claims
that it. will not warp in the least.--lfiH-

The Chinese question has not been
quieted by the veto. 1t is to be fought
over again in the next Congress. Sena-
tor Jones, of Nevada, we are told, has
already prepared new bill to be pre-
sented in the Senate, as a basis for the
second agitation, and he will bring it
forward at the beginning of tho extra
session. This bill avoids the objections
urged rgainst the frst one iii tie veto
message, being carefully framed so as not
to involve any infraction or violation of
the Bnrlingame treaty. 1t is alleged that
nearly all the Chinese immigrants to
this country are brought in as coolies
under contracts for labor made at Hong
Kong, and if this business can be broken
up the Mongolian immigration will be
arrested. The Jones bill is directed to
this point. 1t is intimated that Mr..
Hayes will not veto the new bill but
this favorable anticipation of Mr. Hayes
views seems unwarranted. The Repnb-
lican party is divided on the subject, but
the weight of opinion in the East is op-
posed to any restriction of Chinese immi-
grafton, and the greater probability is in
favor of Mr.. Hayes deferring to this,
rather than yielding to the claims in the
Pacific and some ofthe Western States
