A VIRGINIA paper tells of boy
breaking an egg and finding in the
yolk cent piece of 1881 date and
inquiries show did that cent piece get
there ?" The cent is unit of the
dollar, which is not worth as much
now as IN 1881, but like the bird
without wings, which lives in the
patent bedstead, it goeth wherever it
listeth and gets there all the same.
The chances are, though, that the
egg-breaker IN this case is a degener-
ate son of the soil which produced
"the boy who never told lie."

The ToCn's Ne,C HOme.-The con-
tractors are putting the finishing
touches on the new building erected
by and for the public purposes of the
town. Only in the matter of papering
will there be any great delay before
final completion.
The building is situated on the east
side of Water street, near and west of
the intersection with Mechanic. 1t is
6Ox3O feet, two stories high and sub
stantially built of brick. The style of
architecture is Norman" presenting
in all its characteristics the simplicity
and strength which distinguish the
famous building fashion of the tenth
century. Two broad and one narrow
doorways in front are surmounted by
segmental arches constructed of fine
cut stone with marble skewbacks and
keys. The broad doors open upon the
apartments for the fire apparatus, the
narrow to the whole interior. Neat
cornices of galvanized iron ornament
the top of the second stony and the
tower. The latter is 20 feet high
feet square and arranged for bell.
A flag-pole, 20 feet high, crowns this
cupola.
Inside, on the right of the hallway,
there is a spacious apartment 30X22
feet, arranged for the fire apparatus.
At the end of the hall door opens
into the lookup or corporation Jail, a
room 2Sx22 feet. This apartment is
we'll ligted, ventilated and warmed,
and 3 steel. frame cells, each 7x4 feet
with square half-inch bars q inches
apart, separated by partitions of boiler
iron, stationed near the centre, furnish
secure Accommodations for infractors of
the law.
Returning to the hall step to the
left places one on the stairway which
leads to the second story. On the
landing, the door on the left opens
into the ''red room," or fire depart
ment's chamber, 30x22 feet. A small
platform and desk in the northern end
for the Chief, er e6icio chairman of
business meetings; a spacious closet
for uniform and subsidiary appurte-
nances rich red carpet, red wood
work and furniture and ultimately red
paper walls, make up home for the
firemen which they have already
appreciated by liberal expenditure
of money for equipments.
The second-story front room is the
Council Chamber, 80 feet square, the
largest apartment in the building.
Like the others, it is well lighted and
amply commodious for its purpose. So
far, however, no plan for furnishing it
seems to have been devised. The
woodwork is painted in imitation of
oak, which foreshawdows a neat and
substantial outfit.
Altogether the building is really one
which the people of the town may
contemplate with reasonable degree
Of pride. 1t will be found useful as q
headquarters, and ultimately an eco.
nomical investment.

The Toledo House Of Refuge and the Indus

der debate In the Ohio Legislature last week
Mr.. Little, of Muskingum, offered jdint reso'
iation 10 the House, providing for the sale OF
the "alleged" farm near Lancaster, and the
purchase of productive real estate, so that thu
boys who are sent to the Industrial School ma y
earn their own living. In support ofthis meas
ure he said II "was not deemed wise to hold on
10 real estate so poor that Killdeers are compel
led to carry haversacks while engaged in
Matching their youg, and on which more money
spent for bone dust and other fertilizers for
enc year than the crops raised amount to in a
quarter Of a century,"
This outburst Of wit and eloquence from the
Little "Gingum" statesman brought promptly
10 their feet the editor chief and the oca OF
the old Lancaster Guxene, the former treating II
IN a statesman-like manner, while tile local
claims that the killdeers bagged upon this farm
are noted for their fine condition, and which are
often pAlmed of on the epicures Of Columbus
aud in turn upon the Soluns Of the State as

THE FIFTH sTHp
or the Conspiracy TO Rob tho Gov

The Fifth Step in the conspiracy was
the act OF July Ia. 1870, authorizing the
reiunding OF the public debt. Aud II
should be noticed that the veBy idea inn
piled in funding debt, that il is not to be
paid. These desperate men secured the
passage OF the law, March IS, 1860, max

the coin. But this was dangerous con
dillon. 1t was hgh-handed outrage,
such an infamous robbery as hnd not be-
lore been given TO the oonsprntors.
Thc conspirntois were afraid to rely on
that act Tor fear OF It's repeal. SO the old
5-2O's must not be paid but reiunded--ex
changed for bonds OF lower rates, and this
the holder of the bonds demanded The
funding act and the supplemental acts
were the results OF this scheme of robbery,
and fifteen hundred million dollars were
authorized TO be refunded And both the
principal and intereset OF the new bonds
"Sic maui payau'o iU COih vi but btbuu-

the principal and interest exempted from
taxation. Each dollar in the new bond is
payable in 25.8 of gold or 412.5 grains of
silver of the standard weight and fneness of
the act of July ID, 1870, and this contract
is written on the face OF each of the new
bonds.
This accomplished the cry OF funding at
a lower rate was howled forth as the ex-
cnse, and payment of the bonds IN the
identical money it was payable in. Green

The great effort of the capitalists is 10
PREVENT THE PAYMENT OF THE BONDS
This is proven by the desperate measures
that have followed the rounding act. We

is to be paid in gold and silver of certain
