A FORTUNE FOR TWENTY-FIFE
CENTS,

All the WORKOUT and mutilated legal
tender notes come to the treasury for
redemption. After new notes are issued
in their stead, the old notes are de-
stroyed by the process of mseeration.
This process includes the introduction
Of chemicals in the mass of notes, which,
by the aid of steam are reduced to q
pulp very much smaller in volume than
the original notes. This pulp is OF a
gay-whitish color it has heretofore
been thrown away. An enterprising
young man in this city has had an idea
on this subject, however, and is work
ing it out. He has taken the pulp, and
is modelling it into different shapes.
When dried the pulp assumes q light
consistent form. Dogs, cats, bells, and
all animals and everything else almost
are reproduced. Out Of the destruction
of 81, 600, 600 in notes, he modelled a
bullfrog of heroic size $4,000 goes to
make a mouse $4,000 into a paper
weight, and so on through the list. He
sells these "pieces Of art at IS cents
each. One can, for that amount, pur-
chase at least what was once million
or more of dollars in the currency of the
land.-SaUannah (Ga.l Mems.

KIzE-FLYING EXTRAORDINARY.

Kite-Aying is an expensive recreation
in Bodie. A saloon-keeper of that min
irg center recently made kite Of q
$500 plate glass, 6x10 bar-room mirror,
tying it to @ string Of denijohns and
brown jugs for tail. The novel kite
went up with rush, and, rejecting the
rays Of the sun, dazzled the eyes Of all
who beheld it. It's focus extended as
far as Mammoth, where hay-stack was
set on fire by concentration OF the suns
rays. The inhabitants of the latter
place were greatly alarmed at the singu-
lar object in the heavens, one CORE
spondent having compared it to "a ball
OF condensed lightning" Unfortunate
ly the saloon-keeper's stock of jugs and
denaijohns was not large enough to sup
ply. the necessary counterpoise to the
heavy mirror, and, after ascending to q
great height, with amazing rapidity, it
suddenly turned and fell with crash to
the earth, breaking it into a thousand
fragments. The wiistling Of the wind
in the jugs and demijohns made pecul-
lar sort Of music, the stone jugs sup
plying the bass and the glass denaijohns
the treble. It happened that they
were all in accord, and fine harmony

neither convicted nor made amenable.
In Munster there were 184 cases of out
rage; in 16 the offenders were convicted,
and in Is they were made amenable, but
not convicted; in Z they are awaiting

IN EXTRAORDINARY TRAGEDY.
This morning the great Lambton Mills
tragedy was concluded by the suicide in
his cell Of Robert Dec oursier, the fratri-
eide. He was to have been hung to-
morrow, and this last act of the terrible
drama has produced profound sensa-
ton.
The story of the crime is as follows !:
Robert and Edward DeCoursier We're
brothers, and lived together on farm
at Lambton Mills, near here. Both were
magnifcently proportioned, wonderfully
handsome, and popular. Robert vas
the finer-looking Of the two-oyer six
feet high, with dark, wavy auburn hair;
heavy, dropping mustache, noble
countenance and commanding presence.
The brothers disagreed about money
matters, and separated, Robert removing
to q distant town, leaving Miss Mary
Mills, the belle of the country side, with
q promise that he would soon return and
make her his bride.
Then Edward began the devilish work
which ended in the disgrace of the lady
and the death Of himself and brother.
So deep-rooted was his hatred of his
brother that by forged letters, unblush-
ing lies and protestations Of love, Ed
ward persuaded Miss Mills to forsake
his brother and engage herself to him.
He seduced her, and shortly before her
confinement, when her shame was gen
orally known, he wrote to his brother
Robert to come home and he could have
his girl if he wanted her.
Robert suspected nothing, and, having
been deeply enamored Of Miss Mills, re-
turned at once, only to find her in the
agonies Of childbirth, while the satanic
brother was boasting on the streets that
he got even with Bob, who could have
both the girl and the child if he
wanted them. On the same day he
caused an execution to be served on
Roberts property for an alleged debt.
Robert, crazed with rage and shame,
rushed to the village drug store, bought
arsenic, and, borrowing double-barreled
shotgun, started toward his brothers
wagon factory. Meeting his brother, he
emptied both loads into his body, took
the poison himself, ran into the shop,
closed the door and set fire to the shaw
ings, hoping to burn himself and the
premises. He was promptly rescued,
though badly burned, and an antidote
given, which saved his life. Edward
never breathed after being shot,
At Roberts trial he was convicted Of
murder and sentenced to death. Every
effort was made to have the sentence
committed, but in vain. Petitions signed
by thousands we're sent to the Minister
of Justice /; clergymen implored Princess
Louise to intercede, and personally
begged the Minister of Justice to be
merciful. The prisoner, who had been
very sanguine, was informed that the
last hope had vanished He was terri
bly, shocked, but seemed to become re-
signed. Special guards have been over
him ever since his condemnation to pre-
vent suicide, but this morning he drank
from a water-pitcher and fell dead
poisoned with prussic acid.-Ioronto

what had happened, one cry arose from,
every mouth:
Where's our Pierre2 Where's our
little drummer 2"
Where, indeed2 Look which way
they would, nothing was to be seen of
their poor little favorite, and, when they
shouted his name, there was no answer.
Then there broke forth terrible cry Of
grief, and many a hard old soldier, who
had looked without finching at o line of
leveled muskets, felt the tears start into
his eyes at the thought that that bright
face would never be seen among them
again.
But all at once, far below them, out Of
the shadow of the black, unknown gulf
that lay beneath those tremendous rocks,
arose the faint roll of a drum, beating
the charge. The soldiers started, and
bent eagerly forward to listen then up
went shout that shook the air.

Herald states that during the Turco-
Russian war, and since then in conse-
quence OF the plague, rag-picking has
been very much diminished in Russia !;
that the many fires have destroyed large
quantities Of rags, and that, as gem
eral thing, the wearing Of cotton fabrics
more and more supersedes the use of
linen in Russia, thus causing growing
scarcity Of the more-desirable class of
rags.
A SPEED of seventy-three miles per
hour was attained some years since by
the locomotives of the London and
Northwestern railroad, Of England, and
since that time far greater rate of
speed has been attained by the loeomo-
tives of the celebrated tidal train, Via
Irishman, between Holyhead and Lon
don. A speed Of sixty-fonr miles has
been reached by the engines OF the Lon

he soon became great attraction OF the

and none of them suspected that he had
no right to wear petticoats. His moth

heavy wagon-wheels to see the strange
procession gallop past.
Here they come! Crack | crack
crack from three rifles, and shout as
each bullet tells. Next instant shaggy
head, followed by o dust-browned body,
rushes through the camp. Then another
and another. The men shout and wave
their arms-the women and children
turn paler yet.
The roar and din shut out every other
co,rnd, and the wagons jar aud tremble
with the conclusion. Now another
shaggy head-another-half a dozen-a
score-a hundred-a great living wave
which sweeps along with the power Of q
tornado, followed by others more fierce
and strong, and the camp is blotted off
the earth more completely than by any
power of Heaven. Nothing to be seen
no shout to be heard. Wave followed
wave across the spot-over the bank
into the stream and across, and when
the last of the herd has passed the
keenest hunter can find nothing on that
spot Of wood OF iron or cloth or bone or
flesh to prove that dozen men, women
and children were there wiped out of
existence and reducedto shred and dust.

LONDON. ENG.. Dec. 13th. 1880

LONDON, Eng, Dec. 18th, 1880.
Editor Register: The mild, open
weather of the past week has been
very favorable for wheat sowing, and
good progress has been made toward
overtaking arrears. The wet clays
are now workable, and on dryer soils
the land turns up well. The young
wheats are looking exceedingly well,
and the later sowings are coming
through the ground with an abund
ance of plant. So far, prospects for
production in tho current cereal year
are fairly good, both in England and
on the continent of Europe; but there
is an area not yet seeded, the dimen-
sions of which are not yet ascertain
able, which must form an important
feature in all estimates Of the value
of present data in connection with
prospects for the harvest.
There is now no question whatever
as TO the facts Of the worlds surplus
of marketable bteadstufs being more
than equal to the consumptive re-
quiroments of England for the year
of lSSo-i, and the only thing that
keeps prices at their present level is
the laucity of supplies on the spot
at the immediate present. The Uni
ted States has a surplus of wheat
which has recently been officially es-
timatcd as being about 4,00O,OOOQrc.

However the country and the pop.
ulation thereof, says the Washington
Gazette, may have advanced in other
respects in what is called "civiliza.
ton, but which in reality isan anti,
natural social condition, the popular
ideas in connection with the lsc L Il
onis seem to have become intensified
on basis Of Nature rather than
modified by civilization. To-day,
lynching for enormous and cruel
crimes appears to have become a ma,
tional trait. Whether this be be.
cause the people have learned by
bitter experience to doubt the effica-
cy or honesty of Courts, or because
the highest degree of civilization in
fact trenches on the line that divides
artificial man from natural man, it
certainly is true that the spirit Of
the American age is, in cases of ex-
ceptional crimes, to apply retribu-
tive punishment to the criminal in
the briefest time possible. The truth
is, man, however specifically he
may be altered by the lapse of centu-
rics and the development of mental
culture, is still merely highly in
tclligent animal who, although per.
haps unconsciously, is swayed by
that first law of Nature, shared in
by all other forms Of creation-the
law of self-prescrvation. Hence the
revolt against the claws delay" and
the two frequent mockeries of Justice
perpetrated under the guise of Grim
inal trials.

Our judicial 6,ircuit.

Last week we published what pur.
ported to be a "Bar Meeting" arran-
ging the times for holding Courts in
the new Circuit, under the Consti-
tutional Amendment just adopted
Among the resolutions the following
appears:
"For the County of Masou-First
Monday ii March, July and Novem-
ber."
1t seems to us that July would be
II very bad time to hold Court, as it
is at time when farmers are in the
midst of their wheat and hay harv-
ests. 1t is a month that they cannot
afford to be dragged into Court, and
If they are it would entail heavy and
lrreparable losses upon them. We
would suggest as a substitute, 1.-THE
first Monday in February, May and
September" These would certainly
be better months in which to hold
the Circuit Courts for Mason county.
It's at a time when it will not ma.
terially interfere with the business
OF the farmer. Although one of the
resolutions of. the "Bar Meeting
REQUESTS" The Senators from the 5th
District, and the members Of the
House of Delegates from Mason coun-
ty to advocate and vote" for the bill
they proposed, fixing one of the
terms of Court here in July, we are
compelled to say that we will not
obey said instructions; and VIC hard.
ly believe the others will, when they
look at the injustice of the bill as
suggested by this "Bar Meeting."-
The interest of the people must be
consulted, rather than the conve.
'nience of few lawyers. We would
like to obey instructions, but cannot
or will net, where they conflict with
the interests of the people We
hardly think the farmer would relish
being dragged into Court for three
or four weeks, right in the midst of
his wheat harvest.
