How to Tell Counterfeits.

The United States Treasury Depart.
ment has, Of late years, adopted for
| bonds and currency, peculiar paper
described below, and which is deemed
a stronger protection against counter.
| telters than that used by the Bank OF
| England, which has recently been dan
| gerously counterfeited in $50, 9lOO
5000 notes.
AS the first issue of greenbacks,
which were not printed on fiber paper.
| We're most dangerously counterfeited,
but have almost wholly disappeared
from circulation, therefore, receive
them with great caution, or refuse
them if in doubt about their genuine
ness.
AL, other genuine greenbacks, gold
and silver certificates and later issues
OF national bank notes are printed on
the government fiber paper: the first
kind with the fiber distributed in short
pieces, localized with a blue tint, de-
tected by picking it with pen: the
other with the fiber in two parallel
threads, red and blue silk, running
lelgthwise through the note, seen by
holding the note up to the light. The
public are cautioned not to draw these
threads out OF the paper
Ii in doubt about the genuineness of
any bank note in the report refuse it
unless printed on government fiber
paper. All national bank notes not
IN this report are genuine, whether
printed on government paper or not
The counterfeit $40 and $50 silver
certificates are not on government pa
per.
Some of the counterfeit So. $40 and
$50 greenbacks (series of 1879 and
$50 and $500 tseries OF S69) are an
imitation distributed fiber paper.
Very dangerous. These are all the
counterfeits on the new greenbacks
worth noticing.
Better refuse all twenties, fifties and
one hundreds, on the banks in this re-
port, unless printed on the govern
ment paper.
Allgenuine bank notes, having brown
back and seal, have both kinds OF the
fiber paper combined; while the coun-
terteit $40, on the Third National
Bank OF Cincinnati, o.. and the pho
tographic counterfeit So, on the First
National bank OF Milwaukee, Wis,
have no fiber. These two are the only
connterfeits on the Brownbacls.
Better refuse all pieced notes. All
United States currency having a
brown seal has the parallel threads or
cables. All United States currency
printed since 1869 is on government
fiber paper.
There are in circulation a great
many very dangerous counterfeit $40
greenbacks, dated 1870. All the gen
ulne of that date are on distributed
fiber paper.

Plants Grown for their Perfume,

From the American Agriculturist for June.
We admire flowers quite as much for
their fragrance as for their elegance OF
form and beauty OF color. This is
shown by the fact that almost
every one on seeing a strange flower
almost invariably brings it near to
that organ through the aid OF which
we enjoy odors. There are great diff
ferences in the characters, so to speak,
OF the perfumes OF flowers. The deli.
cate refined odor OF European violets
properly belongs to so modest flow

toxicating perfume OF the Gold banded
lily (Lilium auratum) suggests heated
bathrooms, a crowd and display

MIR. Dana's Advice to Governor
Hill.

New York Sun.-Mr. Hill does not.
it may be said, need a vile on any po-
litical account, having enough OF skill
and suavity to paddle his own canoe
through the difficult waters Of politics.
Yet he ought to get married. Not on
ly would the people like him better,
but he would like himself better. He
is several years younger than the
President, but he is quite old enough
to be married--he is bald, alas-and
he should go and do likewise. There
is no need OF waiting as the President
has done, to be n forty miner before
striking gold. Our bachelor Governor
should lose no time. For what saith
the poet:
IT'S q happy state;
Do not, do not wait,
For some other fellow may marry her, and
then you'll be too late.

doah. Pa, Ends in a Free-FOr-Au.
SHENANDOAH, PA. July 3l.-A bare

about 81 years of age, 3 feet II inches in
height, and weighs about lS5 pounds.
RYAN is about Il years of age, and is also
4 large and powerful man. The men met
out side the borough limits. Ryan selected
Pat Carroll as his second and Hugh Har-
kins was second for BOran. BOran led off
at Rvan'S head with u vicious blow, which
the latter cleverly dodged, and landeda re-
turn on BOran's rib. ShOrt-arm fighting,
in which Boran appeared to do the most ei-
fcctive work, followed TO the end OF
the round In the second round BOran,
with heavy blow on Ryan'snOSe, brought
first blood. This exaSperated Ryan, who
went ut his adversary i'll most determined
manner and they pounded each other
heavily to the end of the round. In the
twelfth round Roran struck Ryan while he
WIS ON his knees, and 4 foul was claimed,
but Ryan insisted on the fight going on to
finish. Three more rounds were decided,
making fifteen, with Boran growing weak
er. In the sixteenth BOran rallied for a
final effort, and placed heavy right
handler on Ryan's nose, which knocked
him off his feet. Carroll, Ryan's second,
then made rush at Boran, knocking him
senSeleSS. The ring was at once broken mp
aud for few minutes free fight prevailed.
Boran's friends have offered to put up
$500 for another meeting between the men.

Kentucky Citizens Cowed by Desperadoes
Outlaws in Hardan County.
WOoDBINB, KY, July a.-A man just
in from the scene of the Bailey murders
gives the following account of affairs in
that section. Said he: "As soon rs John
Bailey was shot, Judge Middleton and a
few men whom he had asked to 90 with
him pursued the murderers, Wilson How
ard and Bill Jennings, up the Clear Fork OF
the Cumberland to what is known as the
old Luke Jones place. Here the pur-
suing parties came in sight of the
fugitives and few shots were eX-
changed between them, no damage being
done. The murderers then took to the hills
and have not been heard of since. About
noon that day the Sheriff and some twenty
five or thirty armed men came into town.
Some of the men had shotguns, some OF
them had squirrel rifles, and few had
nothing but pistols. At least one-half OF
the posse were barefOOted and in their shirt
sleeves, but they seemed to be bent on find
ing the murderers. As soon as il was
learned that these men were coming tO
towa old man Hiram Howard, the father
of the HOwards, who are engaged i'll the
war with the Turner's, left town, accom-
panied bp his son John. They went down
the river. The excitement throughout the
country was intense that day and the
next.
There is a large tribe of the Howards and
Johnsons living around in the ncighborhood
and it was said they would protect the muir
dercrs.
A number of people would like To see
the law enforced, but nobody wants To take
any personal risks, and unless some steps
are taken by the State authorities, crime
will 20 unpunished and murderers will
roam at large at their own sweet will. II
Rowan county is in any worse shape than
Harlan is at this time, all her citizens ought
to leave the county 1t may be that there
is unnecessary fear in Harlan, but 1t is there
and if many of the citizens could dispose
of their effects they would leave the county
ut once. I'll thought the Governor would
do anything would see him and lay full
history of affairs up there before him, but
| guess he would do nothing, and | shall
therefore not trouble him. These
deSperadoes in Harlan county are nothing
for the county officials They are willing
to defy the State, and even the Govern
ment itself. Only few days ago Captain
Peter Hinkle, a Deputy United States Mar
shal, was conveying prisoner named
Cockcrcll, whom he had arrested in Harlan
county, to Pineville, in Belle county.
Cockcrcll is Tennessee refugee, and was
charged with mOonShining On his way

tillery was taken to the train and
nine or ten cannon balls sent
through the burning tank, letting the oil
out on the ground, while trenches were dug
and earthworks thrown up to save the oil
in other tanks from catching At noon,
to-day, Mr. Thompson telegraphed
that the fire had been overcome.
The flames were so fierce and the heat so
intense that the rails on the Duck Creek
Railroad, which runs through the town,
