Sensational RUmOrs at Washington
Touching the Boyle BrOCANwaY
Bond FOrgeries.
Washington dispatches state that there
have been rumors of tremendous sensation
in connection with the DoyIe-BrookTsy. bonds.
1t is alleged that experts pronounce the plates
to be unquestionably genuine, and that vast
quantity of bonds have been printed from them
and others and putt circulation. 1t is explained
that the gentlemen who had charge of the melt
ing of circulation plates were deceived, and the
plates claimed to be melted were stolen
or taken away and bonds issued from them. 1t
is claimed, furthermore, that this stealing pro-
cess was of doubtful authenticity, and that the
officers who superintendent the supposed de-
struction of the plates were very easily de-
ceived, and that something else was put into
the furnace and the valuable engravings were
snatched from the burning for the use OF
Brockway and Company.
cit is understood from high authority that
Mr.. Folger has found five plates missing from
the list in the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing, and that one of them represents the silver
certificate issue. Mr.. Folger mas tried to find
out how much of the counterfeit-bond issue
was put off by the Brockway-Doyle combination
before he closes up the affair. From the
evidence already in the hands Of the
Secretary Of the Treasury, it is clear
that a large portion Of the cur
rency of the country has been duplicated by
the tounterfeiters, but to what extent it has
entered into general circulation is absolutely
unknown 1t is probable that Brockway will
be released during the week, and when he is
the Government will be obliged to make GER
tain explanations. II Brockway, Doyle and
Smythe are released, it will only be after GER
tain arrests are made Of more important peo-
pie, to Justify the Government in its suspen-
sion of sentence over the heads of the most
notorious and successful crimina1s."

Old Oak.

Of late it has become quite the fash
ion to collect old oak; the revival of
decorative art during the last few years
has again turned attention to old work,
and its value is now fully recognized !;
it is becoming rare. Ten years ago nu-
merous specimens were to be had in the
old timbered farm-houses in Lancashire
and Cheshire; much of it still remained
as it had been for centuries, and | have
many pleasant recollections of the old
kitchens, with open fire. places and low
ceiling we'll supported on oak beams,
filled with grand old tables, corner-cup-
boards, Bullets and pewter racks, well
stored with the brightly-polished pewter
/ remember some instances where the
old oak has been put to very ignomini-
Gus uses. I have seen fine old Golfers
used as corn-bins in stables, and I res
cued once noble buffet which boy
had turned into the home of four pink
eyed ferrets.
Some years ago Belgium was an excel
lent field, and during one trip there /

though | found lots of limitations were
to be had, and were being sold as an

who initiates them very cleveriy, in fact,
SO successfully that it is really difficult
to tell the spurious from the genuine.
One day Gt was Saturday, I went to
see him he showed me several speci-
mems which [ pronounced shams; he
was very indignant and assured me they
were " his ancient veritable antiquities.

the old fellow had quite collection OF
old panels, molds and carvings which he
manufactured into tables and cabinets,

On the Legislator.

A distinguished legislator from Frank
fort, who is also az editor, was in the
city seeing the sights and taking in the
usual luxuries incident to the metropo-
lis. He was particularly struck with the
elegant residences up town, and descant-
ed freely upon them.
"There Is one thing, though, I don't
quite understand, !" he said, stopping be-
fore house with plate-glass windows,
each containing fine jardiniere.
Swell, what is that ?" inquired his
friend.

How John Potts Was Renafd.

Thirty years ago poor girl named
Carrie Roper, in garments tattered and
torn, wandered to the home of John
Potts, village blacksmith in what is
now known as Brooklyn, Pa, few miles
from this city. Mr.. Potts took the girl in
and suggested to his wife that they adopt
her, they having no children of their
own. Mrs. Potts objected, feeling it
her duty to take one of four of her
sisters daughters, if it was deemed Ok
pedient to adopt daughter. Mr.. Potts
would not listen to his wife's suggestions
and determined to support the girl. He
sent her to school In Bucks County,
where she took up the study of music
with her academic course, and graduated
with high honors. Two years after she
graduated Potts failed to learn of her
whereabouts. His inquiries did not
bring any tidings of the girl, and he
gave her up rs dead His wife died in
the spring of 1877, and he lived alone.
He still continued his business as black
smith, though unable to save anything
from his earnings with which to pay a
few mortgages on his property. Recent
~ SIIauBc loiJ appeared az Vic pOSV
office in Brooklyn and introduced her
self as Mrs. James Rutledge, of Pitts
burg, wife of a millionaire. She
inquired for John Potts and was escorted
to his home. The OLD gentleman recog-
nized her at sight, and was overcome
with JOY at her appearance. The lady
had come to take Potts to her home,
where he was to enjoy the freedom OF
her home during his remaining days. She
paid off the mortgages on the Potts
property, purchased handsome monu-
ment for the grave of Mrs. Potts, and
started with her old friend former home In
Pittsburg. Soon after their arrival
she made Potts a gift of $4,000 in
United States bonds. -Car6oradaLe Pa,

A Jackass That Wouldn't Scare.
detroit Free Press

A vagrant ass stood beside the track
of the Sunset Railway at the depot. An
engine moved slowly up; it stopped
within few feet of the ass; the engineer
blew one of those terrible screams, pro-
longing and ear-piercing-such blast
as makes the sleeping Millerite dream
of the day of judgment. Did that ass
scare? Not worth o cent. Did he shake
the sloth from his limbs, erect his tail
and speed away like the asses of Basso-
rah, faster than the Bedouin coursers
run back to the chapparal? No, he
didn't. He turned one ear to the en-
CINE, Just as deaf man uses his tin ear
trumpet, and caught every particle of
the sound. And when the steam blow
whistle ceased its notes and all the
echoes died away, the animal straight
ened out his neck, opened his mouth,
and in voice that deafened all the rail-
road men and caused the freight clerk
to drop his pen, reared: 81 can't! I
can't can't! can't! be beat! be beat!
