wH1 PUNCHES THE C0YSa

a reporter asked James n. Sampson,
the veteran detective at the Sub-treasu-
~, to what the Government detectives
attributed the sudden increase in the
number of clipped and punched coins,
which has attracted co much attention
OF late. Mr.. Sampson said that it was
perfectly well known that nine-tenths
of the punching was done in this city by
Cubans. A number of silver coins were
clamped together in roll and in less
time than it takes to write an account of
it q hole is drilled through the whole
lot The value Of the silver obtained by
punching Lole Of usual size in coin
amounts to about one twenty fifth of
the value of the coin, so that for every
roll Of twenty-five quarter-dollars the
value OF one quarter-dollar is obtained
III moment by running q drill through
the roll. Mr.. Sampson says, also, that
many OF the punched coins come from
Mexico and South America, where our
silver coins circulate freely, and rarely
escape mutilation. Several attempts
have been made of late years to break
up the systematic punching of coins,
but with little success. Only two con-
vlctions for the otfense have been made
in ten years. Mr.. Sampson remarked
that, while the business Of punching and
filing coins was almost wholly in the
hands OF the Cubans, the business OF
sweating gold coins by shaking them up
IN buckskin bag Is attributed by the
detectives to the denizens of Chatham
street. By shaking bag containing
100 eagles for three hours the result in
gold dust will be worth about $40. Mr..
Floyd, the chief clerk of the assay office,
said that the Government rules relating
to lightweight gold coins were defective,
and tended to keep such coins in circu-
lation. When a gold coin less than
twenty years old is abraded to more than
-! per cent. of its value, it is stamped
with an 'L" 1T the Sub treasury and
returned to whoever offers it, instead of
being sent to the mint. The object is
to force the holder to take it to the
assay Office or mint to be sold at its real
value, instead of which it goes into cir
culatIo:4 again. The trouble is that
Congress has never made any provision
for redeeming mUtilated or even abraded
coin. Many persons think that all pieces
that have been worn down beyond re-
cognition in actual service should be re-
deemed at par. The difficulty is to tell
when piece has been worn smooth
through use or brought TO that condition
by sweating or other artificial means
Mr.. Floyd considers that the mutilation
OF silver coin does not need Government
interference. because unlike the abra-
sion Of gold, the muitilation of silver
coin can he detected at once, and it rests
with the public to drive such coins out
of circulation. --NcaU York Ereninq

Another Statement from General
Joe Johnston.

The Post will publish tomorrow
morning the following letter from
Gen. Joe Johnston:
''To the Editor of the Daily Post.
Sir: When the article headed
''Gen. Johnston's Narrative appear
ed in the Philadelphia Press of the
18th ult., [ wrote to the editor that
the conversation on which the mar
rative was evidently founded, was
no interview, and the articles were
so inaccurate that [ would not I'm
dertake to correct it. This was pub
lished by him promptly. As. that
article seems to be treated
in the South as accurate
and I am charged with having &C.
cused Mr.. Davis of appropriating the
Confederate bonds carried through
North Carolina, [ write to deny the
charge. [ did not use the language
imputed to me. What I did say was
that the president ought to have &C.
counted for that money. It is a well
known practice in this and all other
/ civilized countries, that those having
disposed of the public fund shall ac-
count for them. What was said on
that occasion, was III an
accidental conversation with one
whom [ considered much above
the class of interviewers. Therefore
had no fear of publication of what
might say, and said good deal
that nothing would induce me to say
capitalization, specially on the sub
iect Of funds at Greensboro. That
part Of the conversation was in con-
nection with the subject of applica
ton twice made by me that part Of
the money should be sent to the
army [ then commanded in North
Carolina which had received no real
pay for many months.

TIE SN4HE REgER FAILS.

For two or three miles above Shos-
hone falls the river flows through I'M
mense chasms, with walls on either side
hundreds of feet high. TIE river is full
Of rapids for miles, the descent beings so
great. At the Upper Shoshone falls,
known as Twin or Little falls, the river
is divided by an island, and the two
streams rash over the precipice and fall
into the pool 175 feet below AS viewed
from the bluffs, hundreds Of feet above,
the sight is grand, and from below there
is still more to admire and to awe the
visitor. Some four or FIVE miles down
the river and We come to the great falls,
where the entire river descends in one
sheet 210 feet. We remember roaming
Ground Niagara falls, the rapids and
other places Of interest for several days
once, and, with all that there is to al
mire and excite our wonder, there is as
much, If not more, to interest the visi-
tor to this portion of Snake river, and
should this place be connected by rail
way with the outside world this will be-
! come great resort for travellers. Some
thirty or forty miles down stream is
Solomon falls, extending quite a dis
tance. The greatest of these falls is
only about twenty feet, but the forms
and the great number OF the falls and
cascades make it very beautiful. But
short distance above these falls is the
most remarkable sight we have ever
seen. In the high bluffs along the river
there issue numerous great springs, the
waters of which fall over the rocks and
are lashed to silvery streams and spray
| in their descent The first of these pours
| over a cliff in a semicircular form and
! falls over 200 feet. As seen from the
opposite side of the river it is very
beautiful. Further down the river it is
a much grander sight. A stream of
| water equal to that of asmall river pours
| out of the bank and falls over the rocks
! in sllyery streams of almost every con-
ceivable shape and form, while the
| spaces between are lined with green
moss and shrubs, SO that it presents an
appearance of an immense grotto. These
falls cover a space Of over 100 feet in
height and several hundred feet in width,
! Further down the stream for over one
mile other similar springs issue, and
each possesses its own features of
/ beauty. Where this vast body of water
comes from is question that VIII prch-
ably never be solved. Lost liver enters
the Snake River valley at point up
stream over 100 miles distant, and there
sinks out of sight in the lava. Other
streams along the western and northern
border OF this vast lava PLAIN for dis
tance of nearly 200 miles come in from
the mountains and sink. These united
streams would probably furnish as much
water as pours out of these springs, but
no single one OF these streams would
supply any of the larger springs. SO it is
only speculation to assume that the
source OF supply comes from any par
tic,llar stream. Correspondence Omaha

Correspondence on the Recent At
fair Of Honor.

WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE fol
lowing has been furnished for pubs
hcation:
LEXINGTON, KY, December 27, 1881.
Gen. S. B. Burbridge-Sir; Your
note of recent date with enclosure
from one Ousley, directed to you,
was handed me by an assistant door
keeper of the House of Representa-
tives on the day of adjournment Of
Congress, to wit: 21st inst. In your
communication you complain Of my
re opening the wounds of war, and
charging you with having dotted my
district all over with the graves OF
men whom you had murdered
during the war, and seek to apollo
gize for your action of that
period. This is substantially
the contents of yourletter. [ would
have replied earlier, had [ not been
leaving the city as soon as I was
able to do SO. am thus forced to
answer by mail. wish you to un-
derstand, sir, that I have never
sought to reopen the issues OF the
war, nor have | ever at any time
spoken unkindly Of any officer Of the
United States Army, unless his acts
put him beyond the pale of civilized
warfare, in the twilight of barbarism,
nor will [ consent to empty harsh
language or severity of criticism
toward my opponent in that struggle,
save under certain circumstances.
But, sir, after careful consideration,
allow me to say that in spite Of your
special plea, that a number of
distin guished gentlemen whom [
could name approved of your con
duct, who, in SO doing, must have
acted without full knowledge of the
facts. Whenever circumstances re-
quire, or [ may be called upon to
speak in regard thereto, my state~
ments shall be consistent with truth,
and those heretofore made by me.
Respectfully signed,

was caused by the fall Of coal, break
ing the safety lamp in the hands Of
the fire boss. Very luckily the fire
did not spread, and the damage to
the mine is consequently light.
