Row Money Is Altered.

IL 1s notorious that the work of cOun.
terfeiting is carried on as trade-o,
perhaps profession. It is not well
known that men make business of al.
tering notes and cutting off pieces OF
them, and patching them together to
make more notes than the ORIGINALS
The number of notes that have been
dealt with in this manner shows that q
regular profession in this line exists.
The old practice of cutting ten OF
twelve notes into ten strips and max
ing therefrom one more than the origi-
nal number has been discontinued. 1t
got to be too ancient trick, and one
too readily detected. The work of the
latter day artists in altering notes is
somewhat more elaborate. One way is
to raise the figures on the notes. The
bodies of nearly all the notes are iden-
tical. The operator will take 81 bill
and a So bill, cut the figures denotine
denominations of the two-being care.
full to avoid cutting away too much OF
the note to rander it redeemable at less
than it's full value-and carefully cut
out the figures of the one and substi-
tute the figure two therefor. He thus
! has So bill for his s., land his origina
81 bill probably, because not more than
one-tenth of it has been DESTROYED.
This is very cunning way of doctoring
notes. Aspeople generally count money
by picking up the right-hand corner of
each note, detection of changed notes
is, in the ordinary course of business.
not very easy.
The figures used in raising the notes
OF higher denominations are generally
taken from the old fractional currency.
as they are Identical, OF very nearly so.
Another way of changing notes is to
manipulate $40 note and o $1OO note
by splitting off the body of the former.
Then by FASTING it on the $40 and
changing around there comes from the
$11O the sum of $21O in pretty good
shape. This plan of working things
has been recently developed. The
alteration of United States notes is car
ried on all over the country, but the
West is the section where it is
most extensive in practice. The
altered notes are disposed of, to a
certain extent, in the same way that
counterfeit notes are Showed" The
great field of operation for the altered
note industry ie, however, among banks
just started. The officers and clerks
of new banking institutions are some
what green and naturally anxious to
receive deposits. The man with the
altered notes goes in and makes de-
post, and day or two after draws it
out again. OF course, he does not get
the same money that he puts in, and
the bank has to forward the original de-
post, after discovery of it's character,
to Washington, to be redeemed as mu-
tilated currency, for what it is worth
under the regulations. The same bank
seldom gets bitten twice.

says: The wheat market opened more active,

day wheat was rather cheaper. Maze on spot
was rather scarce. To arrive 1t was a shade
cheaper. Arrivals at ports are called moder-
ate. At the commencement OF the week wheat
improved Cd to shilling per quarter, but the
advance was subsequently lost The coast is
absolutely bare of maize. Considerable bust
ness was done in wheat to arrive early in the
week at three pence to six pence advance,
which was subsequently lost.

The Pleasure Of Doing Good.

There is satisfaction in the thought
of having done what we know to be
right; and there is discomfort amount
ing often to bitter and remorseful
agony in the thought of having done
what conscience tells us to be wrong.
This implies sense of the rectitude of
what is virtuous. There is instant de-
light in the first conception OF benevo-
lence; there is sustained delight in it's
continued exercise; there is consum-
mated delight in the happy, smiling
and prosperous result of it. Kindness
and honesty and truth are of them
selves, and irrespective of their right
ness, sweet unto the taste of the inner
man. Malice, envy, falsehood, injustice,
irrespective of their wrongness, have,
of themselves, the bitterness of gall
and wormwood.
