It was on a 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 duty at a
point on the Rappahannock, some two
miles below Fredericksburg. About 10
o'clock A. NJ. he was duly posted close to
the edge of the abrupt bank of the
stream. On The opposite shore and per-
haps one hundred feet distant were 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 narrow
river, they placed their "beats" in full
view of each other without fear. After
"Grubby" had held his position some
twenty minutes he approached the seuti.
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 left
was interviewed with the 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 hi, 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 a subdued tone
to the Confederate sentry: "Say, You

ponsc. "Will you GIN me chaw if I'll
come over" "Yes," said Johnny. In
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-
bacco, and returned to his post just in
time to escape detection by an officer
who rode along just then to inspect the
picket line.

value to be returned unpaid. There can
not be an accurate estimate of the
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
bo1ful every day. They we're purchased
by banks at Atlanta and Charleston
also by business firms in New York, who
used them wherewith to purchase cotton
at the South. Among the firms men
toned were Sackett, Belcher & Co. The
notes were printed on water-marked
paper. The newsdealers did great bus
mess in them. Acton was liberated from
Fort Lafayette, as he alleged, fiom mo-
tivcs of public policy. He said that
General Sickles and the United States
Marshals at New York and the Cabinet
officers at Washington were 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
meut and the notes of the American Con-
tinental Congress, and it was considered
legitimate means of inficting damage
upon State with which we were at war.
Acton averred that Secretary Stanton
was particularly we'll 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
others engaged in the same business
some in Philadelphia, others in Boston.
He Was of the opinion that from one
third to onc-half of all the Confederate
money ahoat consisted of these Northern
counterfeits. He himself had made more
than q 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-
sidered, it must be confessed that the
death of this poor miner has brought to
light q very extraordinary story.-San
Francisco Herald.

The Chinese question hes not bee

= 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 d new bill to be pre-
sentcd in the Senate, as basis for the
second agitation, and he will bring it
forward at the beginning of the extra
session. This bill avoids the objections
urged against the first one in the veto
message, being carefully framed SO as not
to involve any infractioD 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 Repub-
lican party is divided on the subject, but
the weight of opinion in the East is OPP
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 of the Western States

MAKING LUMBER FROM STRAw.-Mr.
S. 81. Hamilton. of Bushucil, ILL.,, has
discovered 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-
featured for. The process of manufac-
tury as 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 througha chemical solution,
which thoroughly softens up the fiber
and completely saturates it. The whole
is then passed through a succession of
rollers, dried and hardened during the
passage, as well as polished, and comes
out Of the other end of the machine,
hard, dry lumber, ready for use. 1t is
claimed that the chemical properties
hardening in the fiber entirely prevent
water.soakipg, and render the lumber
combustible only in very hot fire. The
hardened finish on outside also makes it
impervious to water. The samples e1-
hibi,ed could hardly be told from hard
wood lumber, and in saving the differ
ence could not be detected. 1t is suscep-
tible.of 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 marble-top tables,
mantelpieces, bureaus, etc. He claims
that it will not warp in the least.-MM-
ing and Mechanical Neps.

THE HoMEsTEAD.-Our readers no
doubt remember the decision made by
Judge Aldrich on the question Of ofHome-
stead exemption at the last term ofCourt
here. That decision was, that personal
property, without regard to its character
or kind, was exempt to the head of
family to the amount of FIVE hundred
dollars. At the time of this decision
several cases were pending in the Su-
preme Court involving the same question.
The case of Duncan vs.. Barnett went up
from Union. In 1877, the Sheriff
levied on corn and cotton, ths property
of the judgment-debtor, the debtor
claimed the property as exempt; the
Sheriff declined to sell the judgment
creditor ruled him to show cause why he
had not made the money; his return
showed that the party had claimed a
homestead in the property; Judge Moses
discharged the rule, holding that the
property was exempt by Act of Feb. %,
1878, Sec. 6. Duncan appealed. The
Supreme Court the - reversed the
decision of the Circuit Judge, holding
that the act of 1873, so far as it attempts
to extend the homestead exemption be-
yond the provisions contained in Arti-
Gle 2, Sec. 32, of the Constitution is
unconstitutional and void. The decis.
ion says very plainly that no personal
property is exempt from attachment,
levy and sale except those particular
articles mentioned by.name in Art. 2, Sec.
32 of the Constitution; which are
"household furniture, beds and bedding,
family library, arms, carts, wagons,
farming implements, tools, neat cattle,
work animals, swine, goats and sheep"
A man who owns no land can claim
exemption only as to these articles; but
he who owns land can claim one thou
sand dollars worth of land, and the year
ly products therof, besides FIVE hundred
dollars worth of such personal property
rs is enumerated in the Constitution.
1t is hard on the non-land owner
