In our search for iieras, one day
this week, we were suddenly accost-
ed by ayoung man, who wore an
anxious, inquiring look in the left
hand corner of his right eye; and
stretching forth his hand, he slowly
said, 81 believe, this, sir" handing
us a scrap of paper, " is intended for
you" Without waiting for reply,
he hastily disappeared in the crowd,
leaving us to peruse the following

debility had so emaciated him that
he appeared as a walking skeleton.
1t looked as If the old man with the
scythe was about to harvest him, and
that he would soon be numbered
with the 3" Mound builders. But he
rallied and went doSsn the chute to
rusticate, where kind friends were
wont to carry fish and honey to boost
the old soul up. On one occasion,
when the ministering swamp angel
went down from the settlement, with
the weekly rations, the old man was
reported to have been absent for
several days. Fearing that the pan
ther, or some other mishap, might
have sprung upon our hero, the
"swamp angel" followed the trail
upon which he was last seen, and
soon came to a cane camp, occupied
by stranger-a healthy, stout old
man, and made known the object of
his visit. "Why " my friend | am
the man you search for. | have been
here on the bar scratching up turtle
eggs with the bear for six days, and

than any other man or bear between

off, lfidont, I'll pay the bet and you
can take my dug-out for a honey
trough IN the bargain"
And with this he sat down upon
the beach of Little River, and gath
cred soft-shelled turtle eggs by the
scttin', while the ripling waters of
that classic stream were vending
their clear winding way on to 'Pluck
'em In Those happy days have
long since passed; the turtle egg
season has gone, and the old man
still lives. His raiment is of coon
skins; he wears a panther leather
girdle about his loins, and his food
is cofiee,heans and wild honey.

awe yirginian who Has Originated
Neat Scheme TO Make Money Out OF
herrade Dollar-Mutiiated Coin.
WAsHISGroN, August 9-There is man
up infWest Virginia who has got scheme
10 m$ke something out of trade dollars.
He wfites as follows:
To TREAsURER WYMAN-Dear Sir: l see
il gong the rounds of the newspapers
that tere is fifteen per cent discount on
the trade dollars. see another paragraph
statiDs that the Government is authoriz ID
to redeem them at par and convert them
into legal trade dollars. II convenient with
official duty, please advance me $400 or
$500 bg registered mail to redeem them,
as fest as can gather them in will ship
them 10 you by express.
There is q general complaint from all
parts of the country against the continued
increase Of worn AMI mutilated coin which
now circulates in business circles. 1t is
said that there is more
Defective Coin Circulating
in the United States than in any other
country in the world. England, France
and other foreign powers appropriate a
certain sum snnually for the preservation
of their circulating medium. AS soon as
piece of coin becomes dis6gured or worn to
a certain extent it is replaced by new
coin, thus keeping in circulation only
moneY. that is in good condition. 1t is
yareb& teShet-the Di.ector of the United
States Mint will, in his coming annual re-
port to the Secretary of the Treasury,
recommend a plan for clearing the circu.
lating medium of defective and worn coin,
with as little loss to holders as possible.
Owing to the large amount OF defective
coin now in circulation, it would require a
large appropriation the first year to redeem
it or replace it, but the officials OF the
Treasury Department state that it would
not cost our Government more than $4,000
or S2O. coo year 10 keep our coin in first
class condition.
