It has been supposed that cows mis- sion on earth was to raise calves, to give milk without kicking and to scare women. This supposition is wrong. 4 colored man in Kentucky has a COW that, in ad- di,ion to the accomplishments enumer- aied above, is capable of serving as a saddle horse, pack mule and draft horse. These excellences possessed in Kentucky by an animal other than blue grass horse are indeed noticeable.-Ray- yis6Hyg tpa J .Snnaay Tliegyam.

The Bogus Coin and Bank Note Business

The Bogus Coin and Bank Note Business
The Secret Service Agents have been advis-
cd that in the possession of one Of the persons
recently arrested in Maine, on the charge Of
being engaged in the manufacture Of bogus
gold and silver coins, there were found letters
from parties in Washington offering TO dispose
OF large amounts of the real estate notes at the
nominal value Of two cents ON a dollar. Sam
pies of these notes have been sent to the Treas
ury. They are evidently portion of the same
enterprise which was entered into at WASH
ington some eight years ago, which was widely
commented upon in the press Treasury Off
clals say that the bills are SO nearly like nG'
tional bank notes in kind OF paper, shape and
style of engraving, that they ara violation oi
the currency laws, The notes purport TO be
based upon real estate at fair valuation. The
letters forwarded from Maine contain proposi-
tions from Washington parties to sell large
amounts Of these notes for very small sums,
aud to supply orders in denominations from
$40 to $1,000. One of the letters states that the
writer has large quantities of these notes on
hand, unsigned, and 175 of which are OF the
denomination of $500.
A Washington dispatch to the Boston Glohs
says Gen. George W. Balloch Is accused ol
completely In the frauds of the Fac-Simile
Company. Balloch ten years ago was the sec
retary OF an institution known as the Real Es
tate Loan and Trust Company. Worthless
real estate notes were issued then as now, and
the fraudulent character OF the concern was
exposed 1t ceased operations The managers
OF the enterprise were smart enough to have in
their possession worthless tract of land in
virgirnia, against which the notes were issued
When the note company failed Mr.. Ballooh
became manager Of baby insurance company
This institution was big swindle. Ignoran'
negroes were induced TO insure their infants
and Balloch 1t is said, for time made consid
erahle money. at last he refused to pay the
insurance on some dead baby, ami the fraud
was exposed. Balloch was connected with the
fraudulent management of the FFeedman''
Bureau. 1t is stid that his accounts with the
government we're irregular, 1T is expected
| that Baloch will oe arrested for his share In
| Maine frauds Samples of the reol estate note
| issued by him have been examined at the
| Treasury Department. They have SO close 4
resemblance to the national bank bill in paper
| size and engraving that, aside from the swim
| die evident in their issue, they are violation
| of the law against counterfeitng. AT last nc
counts Balloch was in Alexandria.
The Portland daily press., 1883-05-15

sented several interesting topics for discussion.
Among the most important were the follow
ing:
"What are the essential qualifications for
membership in our churches?"
"What are the reasons for the increase Of
the very short pastorates in our denomina-
tion?" .Es-- saas.6s.a .ss
as there danger in the formation OF
young peoples societies inside Of church or

Can a Christian play cards and attend
places OF amusement without danger OF back
siding?"
