How a Counterfeit Can Re Detected.

How a Counterfeit Can Re Detected.
 A circular issued by Thompson's Bank Note and Commercial Reporter states that the new counterfeit ten dollar treasury note, which was recently reported as of the series of 1878, is of 1875 instead. All treasury notes of the series of 1875 are printed on the fibre paper known as the Wilcox patent. The fibre has the appearance of coarse black hairs scattered through the paper without re- gard to regularity and may readily be seen in the open panel on the back of the note An attempt has been made to initiate this paper by printing black lines on the surface. The difference between the black lines and the fibre can be readily detected by the of a magnifying glass or by tearing the paper across one of the flores. In the border at the top of the genuine note, the words, ''This note is legal tender for ten dollars" are distinctly separated from each other. In the counterfeit the letter "a" and word ''legal" form one :" for " and ten.'' The last four letters of the word printing in the line be- low the one referred to are in italics in the counterfeit, while the balance of the.line is in roman. On the back of the counterfeit the words ''this," beginning the phrase "This note is legal tender, '',etc., is printed ''tms." There are other slight errors in the printed law on the back of the counterfeit. There are no commercials on the series of 1869, 1878 and 1880.

Indian Wheat Com petition.

Two Of our correspondents have lately ex-
pressed great alarm at the competition of In
dia with this country In the raising OF wheat.
Mr.. FRANK WILKEsoN even thinks that our
agricultural prosperity has already received
a terrible blow because Of the increase OF the
exports Of Indian whoat.
The time may possibly come when the old
soil OF India will produce q great enough
surplus Of grain for export to seriously and
permanently compete with the virgin soil OF
the United States, but, in our opinion. 1t is
not now here, and is yet far off, 1t seems
absurd to suppose that a country which is
lacking in the means Of Transportation, which
is compelled to resort to expensive irriga-
ton, and one-nfth Of whose population Ego
through life ON insufficient food, +" Is now ready
to drive our grain from European markets.
As Q writer In the Niaetecath Century lately
remarked, the increased exports Of India are
"wrung from the people by penury rather
than spontaneously offered from surplus or
increasing wealth. II all tho poorer classes
In india ate two full meals every day, the
surplus would be much less than at pres
ent." "The whole position and circumstances
Of the United States, T" he says further. "are
the very antithesis OF those Of India. Amer

Fighting in Tonouiu.

II tho English have fought some queer bat
ties in Egypt, tho French have had some
marvellous encounters in Tonquin. Inter-
esting details OF tho operations OF the
belligerents appear from time to time in tho
letters OF French newspaper correspondents.
After tho capture OF Bacninh Con.
BRIERE DE Isle pursued the Chinese as
far as the citadel OF Yen-Te, where he ar
rived shortly before sunset He Immediately
began his preparations for capturing the
place the next day. Some OF the natives told
the officers that 1t was evacuated. This was
only ruse to gain time. A detachment OF
troops advanced, and on coming close to
tho place they were surprised to
sec Chinaman mount tho wall and proceed
to deliver q lecture to them through speak
ing trumpet. As fast as the words came
through the instrument they were seized by
the interpreters and turned into French, to
the intense amusement Of tho troops The
orator abused them In H0meric STYLE with
all the modern improvements. He called
them dogs and barbarians, and warned
them that II they did not go away immedi-
ately, his braves would march forth and
slaughter thcm to the last man. His perora-
ton was received with q roar Of laughter
and answered by volley. The "bravcs "
took to their heels, and the place was taken.
Three thousand Chinese and six hundred
Annamites fled before two companies of
French troops and few native auxiliaries.
Thainguyen was tho next place captured.
Like Bacninh and Sontai. it is a citadel.
Four Thousand Chinese regulars were there
waiting to annihiiate the French. As tho
latter advanced the Cclcstials boldly came
out OF tho citadel, but at the first fire they
fled like rabbits, and numbers were slnugh-
tered as they ran. Thainguyen was taken.
Gen. BRIERK DE Isle returned In three
days to Bacninh. He had captured two cit
adels, with all their war material and provis-
ions, and routed seven Thousand Chinese
regulars with handful of Frenchmen,
oil of whom no brought back to Dacninh
without even wounded man among them
1t seems that the Chinese regulars stand fire
