I wish to call your attention to two
curious facts, said an official of the Sc
cret service at Washington recently to
correspondent. Counterfeiting runs in
families, and with out exception, the
men engaged in it are ali poor. For in
stance, take the Ballard family, Thorn
as, Benjamin, George. and John, four
brothers, all in our clutches, together
with an aunt. There is one brother out
of jail, but we are satisfied that he is an
honest man.
Thomas Ballard is wonderful fell
low. He is the only person, SO far as
we know, who has succeeded in imi-
tating the fibre paper upon which the
genuine note and bonds are printed.
At present he is serving a thirty years
sentence as reward for his discovery.
He is chemist of no ordinary attain
ments, and he invented a process by
which he was able to take a genuine
81 or 81 bill and completely remove
all vestige of ink from its surface.
Then, with a coun terfeit plate of a
higher denomination, he would print
upon the genuine paper and thus raise
the note.
Speaking about raising notes, here
is check on the Third National bank
of New York, which was raised from
$451 to $26, 968. and paid in 1876. The
perpetrators worked off with chemi-
Gals all that was written in the check
except the signature. and / regret to
say that we have never been able to
discover who did it. Here are three
steel plates which were engraved by
Ulrich for FIVE dollar issue. The en-
craving is done on soft steel, and
when completed the plate is hardened.
To give you some idea of the amount
of labor it takes to engrave these plates
L can only say that we have evidence
that Ulrich was fifteen months COM
plotting them.
Perhaps the greatest curiosities in
our entire collection are the bills
which made their appearance about
four years ago. executed with pen
entirely by hand. At first we thought
that it must take great amount of
time for the rascal to turn out one Of
those bills, but now we think he pro-
dnces about one week. The denomi-
nations are fifties. twenties and tens.
and they are turned into the treasury
for redemption from ell parts Of the
union.

THE MISSING DEED.

"Any news from the case this morn
ing. Mr.. Hutchinson"
This question was asked by Mr..
John Holbrook, senior member of the
law firm of Holbrook s. Hutchinson,
one certain morning, in the latter part
of September, as he entered the of
fee.
His partner, Tom Hutchinson, with
out looking up from the papers he was
reading, answeredin the negative.
"Well," continued the senior mem
Der of the firm, 1--WE must exhaust
every effort to find the missing deed.
THERE'S letter in the mornings mail

increase the reward to five thousand

"That ought to fetch it, if it is in ex-

And he threw down his papers, and
he wheeled his Office chair to face Mr..
Charles Wilson, aged twenty-five
with legal aspirations, who was "read-

FARMER NICK's sCARECROw.
From ST. Nicholas. |

rom CT. NiCHOluS-l
Out in the corn field, grouped together,
\ flock of crows discussed the weather.
Observing them, thrifty Farmer Nick
Declared that the crows were getting too thick.
81 must have a scarecrow-that is true:
Now, would not that old umbrella do:"
So into the house the farmer went,
And away TO the field the umbrella sent.
One rainy day the farmer went out
To view the corn field lying about;
He neared the umbrella; looked inside;
And what he saw made him laugh till he cried.
For in there, out of the rainy weather,
A dozen crows were huddled together!
So the frrmer, laughing as farmers should,
Said: 81 fear my scarecrow did little good.
