Our Mental ArmOry.

What capital things we might say, if
we had our wits always about us When
we are alone we invent the happiest of
retorts the most unanswerable argu-
ments flash upon us without any effort
on our part; we feel that we have more
weapons In our mental armory than
"Brown ever dreamed of; yet, some-
how, when Brown attacks us suddenly,
we cannot bring our twelve-pounder to
bear upon him before he has shot us
through and through with his revolver.
We, of the superior metal, find our
selves spiked, 50 TO speak. The fact is,
we lack readiness.

United States coins, when mutilated
by cutting or abrasion, lose by such
mutilction their legal-tender qualities,
and the United States will not receive
them in payment of dues.
Such coins, therefore, are valuable
only to the amount of their intrinsic
worth as metal and are rated by dealers
as follows:
Silver dollars, mutated. ed..,.............75 10 cents
Silver half dollars, mutiated. .55 cents
Silver quarter-doliars, muilated. 10 cents
One, 2, and 5cent pieces have no
money value.
Mutilated money and foreign coins
not received.

A Fine Counterfeit.

A new counterfeit silver dollar is in
circulation in the East, which is pro-
nounced by the Sub-Treasury the
best silver counterfeit ever seen. 1t
is beautifully made, and has slight
of iron. which is often
found III a genuine standard dollar.
1t is silver-plated and acid does not
hurt it, unless the surface is scratched
up. The weight is the marvellous
point i'll the deception. The counter
felt. as it stands, would pass in size
easily, aud in weight would not be de-
tected on any but fine scale. The
date upon it is 1878.

A Washington dispatch says: The
crowd about the Court grows larger
daily, from the fact that the proceed
ngs arouse the suspicious Of some
people that Guiteau may escape, and
there are number OF people who
think Guteau ought to die, whether
he Is insane or sane. Whether the
force of this belief is strong enough
to lead to violent measures remains to
be seen. The other day two men
were seen with istols in the crowds
that waited outside to see the prison
er taken from the house to the van in
which he is conveyed to Jail. Not on
~ were they armed, but they made
threats against the prisoner. These
men were a part of the daily growing
crowd, and this crowd always halls
the prisoner when he makes his ap-
pearance. with shouts, yels and in
suits. Guiteau is thoroughly fright
ened, and always bounds into the
wagon as though he was pursued.
