THOSE CONFEDERATE BONDS.
A New Version of the scheme Given by n
Washington Broker.


A broker i'll Washington, who claims
10 know the secret of the Confederate
movement III Europe, says 'Ihe re-
ports of Treasury agents of the United
States, some time after the close OF the
Rebellion, showed that there were de-
posted in the Bank of England and III
banks in France, Holland, and Belgium
an aggregate of 81 900, 900 belonging to
the Confederate Government, the pro
ceeds of the sale of cotton. This money
was pledged to pay the interest on the
Confederate loan. The January interest
of 1865 was paid, and money was set
apart to pay the coupons for July, when
the Rebellion collapsed. The European
syndicate of bankers is seeking to OBJ
tain all the Confederate bonds for the
purpose only Of collecting the July, 1863
coupons, with the accumulated interest
resulting from non payment. The talk
about attempting to boycott the South
ern States, or to collect the principal OF
the bonds, or any interest coupons after
that month-July, 1865-is nonsense.
But this syndicate has good legal advice
that the money set apart for specific
purpose-namely, the payment Of the
July coupons-must be paid on the pre-
sentation of those coupons; and if you
will inquire, you will observe that all the
orders to brokers to purchase the Con
federate bonds specify that they must
contain the July coupon, and must not
be mutilated. A bond presented with
out the July coupon would not be pur-
chased.
"That is all there is in the Confeder-
ate bonds story. The European syndi,
cate intend to secure, if they can, 81 )
600, 900 in money to the credit of the
Confederate States Government in Eu
ropean banks, and to do this in the only
wav that is possible. If the syndicate
| does not succeed, the European bank!
will be $11 900, 900 ahead, as there is NJ
doubt that that amount of cash to the
credit of the Confederate States is de
posted there"

"a Good Enough Morgan"

ters of his autobiography to the story of

the most of this has been already printed.

Mr.. Weed says:-"While talking with

sci of the 'l1idnappers, who was going

proven to the contrary, was "a good

THE NOTED DWARF.
Some of Tom Thumbs Characteristics-
His Little Wife, and How She Mana ged
Him.

To Hartford, Conn, newspaper re-
| porter, a gentleman who had acted as
manager for General Tom Thumb gave
the other day some interesting informa-
ton about that little man, of whom he
said:
'Although he met great number of
people, he never could say any thing to
them. He would simply answer their
questions and then stop. Once in a
while he would see something and speak
of it to me or some other of his close
friends, but never to a stranger"
"Was he great reader?'
"Tom Thumb never read a book,
newspaper, or aught else. During all
the time [ was with him I never saw
him reading. He never took the least
interest in the news or the romantic as it
is found in novels"
sWhat did he do with himself during
the little leisure he had?"
"Weu, he never had very much
leisure he used to occupy it in playing
billiards or in smoking. He dearly
loved a horse, and over diamonds he
went wild. The fancy may have par
taken of a boyish freak although men
of rare intellect cannot help but admire
the exquisite color of an old-mine gem.
He at one time owned q great many dia-
monds and horses. 1t has been asserted
in the newspapers and out of them that
the General drank to excess. Now, [
will say this in his behalf so long as [
was with him never saw him under the
influence of liquor. He smoked several
strong cigars a day, but he never was an
Incorporate drinker."
Chow about his married life--was
that happy -
'It was truly a happy life. The
dwarf couple had more pleasant con-
jugal relations than the average of
grown-up people. She knew how to
handle him; she had tact, and every
thing went smoothly, and yet do not

OR OTHER WE GET ALONG
The good wife hustled about the house,

The good wife hustled about the house,
Her face still bright with pleasant smile,
As broken snatches of happy song
Strengthened her heart and hand the while.
The good man sat in the chimney nook,
his little clay pipe within his lips,
Aud all he'd made and all he had lost,
Ready and clear on his finger tips.
Good wife, I've just been thinking bit.
Nothing has done very well this year;
Money is bound to be hard to get
Everythings bound to be very dear;
How the cattle are going to be fed,
How we're to keep the boys at school,
Is kind Of a debt and credit sum
can't make balance by my rule"
She turned her around from the baking bread,
And she faced him with a cheerful laugh;
''Why, husband dear, one would think
That the good, rich wheat was only chaff.
And what if the wheat was only chaff
As long as we both are well and strong;
I'm not woman to worry bit,
Somehow or other we get along.
'IntO some lives some rain must fall,
Over all lands the storm must beat,
But when the rain and storm are DER,
The after-sunshine is twice as sweet.
Through every strait we have found road,
In every grief we have found a song;
We have had to bear, and had to wait,
But somehow or other we get along.
For thirty years we have loved each other,
Stood by each other whatever befell;
Six boys have called US father and mother,
And all of them living and doing well.
We owe no man penny, my dear,
We're both of us loving, and well and strong,
Good man, wish you would smoke again,
And think how well we've got along"
He filed his pipe with pleasant laugh;
He kissed his wife with tender pride;
He said, ''Tn do as you tell me- love,
I'll just count up on the other side"
She left him then with his better thought,
And lifted her work with a low, sweet song
A song that followed me many year,
Somehow or other, we get along.

writes about that warlike race to the
Boston Post tells of a buck who was
called ga bad Indian because he had

He complained to the Indian agent:
'sThey don't treat me fair. They call
me bad Indian. They say 1 killed my
mother. Yes, did, but did it because
she was too old to work. Then they say
I killed my wife. Idid that because she
