Novel Fractional Currency.

1t is not generally known that if a 81
greenback is neatly cut in two each of
The halves is good for so cents at the
Federal Treasury. The same process
can be carried on till the bill is divided
into tenths without injuring the aliquot
value of its parts. This has been sug-
gested as an easy way of obtaining
small sums to send by mail, now that
the extremely convenient fractional cur
rency has disappeared; but it is not
likely to be generally adopted; half
note being an awkward thing to pass,
except at bank. The popular objec-
ton to such fragments comes down
from time when one-haH bank-note
was worthless without the other half. 1t
is so to-day in England, and the division
of Bank of England note is a frequent
way of insuring its safety when sent by
mail. Major Powers. a prominent off,
Ger in the Treasury Department of long
experience, proposes that the back of
one dollar greenbacks be hereafter di-
vided by the device printed upon them
into four parts, so as to be cut up at
pleasure, each quarter being good in
small sums for twenty-five cents. This
would enable the community to supply
itself with its own fractional currency
at pleasure, and it would also probably
increase enormously the share of one
dollar notes which would never come
back to the Treasury.-Springfeld

four inches above the top of the lamp and it is
that when they are upset or turned upside

them and catches oh 3: fire; William Doyle and
morning duel, are old employees in the yard,
and must have been perfectly well acquainted
with these facts; Both men had been quar-.
rcling all night about where their lamps should
be placed to throw the best light, and the work.
men who heard these spats say it was hard to
tell who was right and who wrong. However,
Cornell was the first to hurl a lamp at his OPP
ponent, and this he did without any other
provocation than Doyles angry words. Doyle
retaliated by hurting his lamp at his assailant
The burning oil flew in all directions, and the
other workmen were obliged to run to prevent
their clothes from taking fire. The lighting
men clinched, and their lamps, exploding in
quick succession, deiuged them both with
burning oil and otherwise injured them. But
it was only when their burning clothing was
screening their bodies into crisp that
they ceased the combat. their fellow
workmen rushed to their assistance, and
several were badly burned about the hands in
their praiseworthy endeavor to save the lives
of the two men by tearing from them the
burning clothing. Before this could be &C
complished Doyle was terribly charred, and
his screams of agony could be heard for blocks.
Connell was not quite so badly burned. but his
pain was almost as intense as that of Doyle.
Both were attended as soon rs possible by DR..
Greer, who said promptly that Doyle could not
live, and he thought COnnells condition pre-
carious. Doyle was taken home to No. 80

children, and Council was taken to his home

Coroner, who was notified, went there to hold

to postpone the inquest until to-day, when the
chances are that the inquest will be a double

Interrupting the Funeral.

Recently Mr.. Swamp was engaged in
digging we'll at the back of his house,
when he became athirst and went down
town to get a drink, leaving his coat
beside the mouth of the we'll. While
down town he took several drinks, and
having assaulted q negro, kicked out
window and committed other excuses,
he was arrested and sent to the Island
under an assumed name. Meanwhile
his well caved in and his coat being
found near it, his family thought he
was buried alive. They made a great
fuss and tried to find his body. but
failing in that they determined to hold
a funeral and bury coffin in his honor.
However, they didn't let it be known
that they hadn't got his body. The day
of the funeral was the day Swamp got
out of jail. On approaching his house
he saw something was going on there,
and stepped up to man and asked him
what it was. The man took one look
at Swamp, turned pale and fled. Swamp
was puzzled and entered the house to
investigate. When the servant saw
him enter, she gave one yell and faint
ed. More surprised, he pushed ahead
and met two or three other people,
who also fed from him in terror. This
exasperated him, and finally, after two
more failures, he stole up behind man
and grabbed him, and when the fellow
saw what he supposed to be the
corpse holding him. he was so scared
that his hair turned gray, and he
struggled violently to get away. But
Swamp dragged him into a corner un-
der the stairs and sat upon him until,
after the fellow had nearly died of ter
ror, he got calm enough to explain
what was going on. Then Swamp ran
to the parfor where the ceremony was
in progress. The clergyman has just
said: g You all know he was sober,
peaceable and industrious citizen, &
man against whom no charge of wrong
doing or disgraceful conduct was ever
raisedr' Then Swamp roared out:
"For Heavens sake, parson, hold on!'
And then while the people who recog-
nized him and thought it was his ghost
began to yell, and some piled out the
windows while others tainted he con-
tinued: I'm much obliged for your
certificate of character, but it's lie,
for I'm just out of jail for getting
drunk, fighting niger and making an
ass OF myself generally. But though l
amt fit subject for a funeral, I'd be
glad to have this crowd join me in a
dance to celebrate my return" But
the parson looked severe and took his
hat and left; Swamp's wife got up from
swoon and said to her husband:
"Don't act like q fool, you old idiotr'
and the people who hadn't ran away in
terror went home in gloomy frame Of
mind, fully satisfied that Swamp ought
to be ashamed Of himself. Boston Post.

A MISJUDGED FRIEND.

The gardener shut the garden gate,
And went to weed the OniOn-bed;
" But what is this?" surprised, he said.
Some broken bricks, some stones and sticks,
ana lderneath them, crushed and dead,
a iarg brown owl. toad! flames, Martin, Fred!''
Al d s.ernly asked, what cruel play
Is This you've been about to-day?''
=" Ills very hard we should he blamed,
I'm sure poor little James exclaimed:
I'VE only killed tle toad because
An u.iy-lDoking thing he WAS
So very ugly, that VIC knew
I!c surely would some mischief do.
He had great warts upon his back,
And curious blotchcs, greenish black,
And daiting tongue, and strange Hat head
And how he sprawled his legs!" cried Fred.
His mouth" said Martin, "was so wide,
1t re ,ched far round on either side;
And queer winks with his eyes he'd give:
We did not dare to let HIM live.
We had to kill that toad because
An ugly-looking thing he was"
The gardener gravely shook his head;
" 1t was heartless act" he said;
" And, more than that. you may depend
Upon my word, you've killed a friend;
For often, at my work, I've found
This same toad near me, hopping round,
And, watching him, I've learned that he
My constant helper used to be
A second gardener, with no pay,
Who still WIS busy every day.
& He killed the young potatO-bugs,
The caterpiilars and the slugS,
The beetles striped with yellow lines,
That spoil the tender melOn-vines,
And looked round with his blinking eyes
For cabbage-wOrms and turnip-hies,
LOw-hyiny moths with dOwny wings,
And Shiny snails in shady hooks.
1t was the cruellest of things
To kill poor Hop Toad for his looks.
" And If, when you shall older grow,
You strangers judge by outward show,
You'll be as foolish as unjust:
In worthless men you'll put your trust,
And often sorrow, in the end,
For having wrOnged some honest friend"

Ladies' Fall and Winter Dresses.

The earliest importations of French
dresses are made up of short dresses
for day wear, with very long trained
skirts for full dress; the medium demi-
train does not appear in the first in
voices. Very rich fabrics that give the
greatest appearance of warmth are
used, such as the polka-dotted velvets,
brocaded velvet with large detached
figures, and plush, with cloth for plain
er costumes; the warmest colors also
appear in abundance, especially in the
accessories thatform trimmings, though
many beautiful costumes are shown in
two tones of the same color, especially
when heliotrope or other puppies are
employed. The dull copper reds are
very stylish as an illumination for black;
heliotrope and lavender are also effect
lively used with black. The satin en-
ployed for draperies is very soft, and is
called Surah satin, though its lustrous
surface requires close weaving that
conceals the twills that are the special
nature of Surah silks. The corsages of
new dresses are made with as few
seams as possible, and are therefore of
the simplest shapes. The short side
out exception, though some modistes
still prefer having two side forms in the
way introduced by Worth several years
ago. Skirts of French dresses are
fuller than they have been made st any
time since short skirts were revived,
though they are not made in the classic
shapes popular here that depend so en-
tirely upon their fullness that drapery
is dispensed with. On the contrary,
the first importations show great deal
of drapery very bouffantly arranged,
with scarf sashes that pass around the
figure, and give the fullness of paniers
below the hips. Indeed, sash effects
are given in many ways, not only with
the gay fabrics of trimmings, but with
whole breadths of the dress material
that are draped quite straight. or else
doubled at the lower end without being
cut apart, or perhaps they form one
mammoth bow on the left side, and q
pointed corner on the rig hit. The front
and side cores are clinging, and these
are still made the objective points for
