CLEVER COUNTERFEITS.
Something About the Most Cieverly Ex-
ecuted Raised Note Ever Made.

The United States Secret-Service
sleuth-hounds have captured and run
in" raised silver certificate that has
been inaccurately described in the pa
pers. At the headquarters of the se-
cret service in The Treasury building
the correspondent was shown the spu-
rious curiosity and the true inwardness
was told by an official, who said:
"This, which, by the way, is the
most cleverly executed raised note ever
seen in the department. was seized in
the South. The head of Dexter, who
was once Secretary of the Treasury,
has been cut from fractional 50-cent
piece and pasted over the vignette Of
Martha Washington. The descriptions
hitherto published state that George
Washington's yignette was substituted
for Martha's, but you see that is mis-
take. The figures 80 and the word
fifty were also cut from the fractional
currency. The figures so in the back
were taken from cancelled revenue
stamps" The official then displayed
counterfeit 500 silver certificate
which had been raised from a 81 cer-
titicate. This was not as good SAM
pie of work as the other, but it passes
all the same. The figures were cut
from cigar stamp. General Han
cocks vignette adorns this elevated
currency. The fact is the $40 silver
certificate has not been issued, and it
will bear Secretary Manning's vignette
when it does come before the public.
1t is barely ready.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

There can be no first-class or pay

Farming can be improved until
farmers improve themselves, 50 they
can cope with deteriorsted soil and de-
preciated prices.
All young animals quickly learn to
eat ground oats, and there is no ground
grain better for them. They will grow
and thrive upon oats even when draw
ing milk from the dams
Some men look at the sky only to
forecast the weather, see more beauty

quicker than the lark in the air.

A Weird City of tho Dead Described b

Weird City of tho Dead Described by
George X. Sims.
Imagine a garden surrounded with
noble open galleries lined with mag
nifcent white marble monuments, and
all shut in by great sunny green hills,
which stand around it like sentinels
guarding the silent and sacred camp
Of the dead. Imagine all this, then
put above the roses and the blossoms
and the fragrant trees, and the yellow
immortelles and the green wreaths and
the glorious marble statuary, blue
sky and a bright sun, and you have Il
faint idea OF Gcnoa's Holy Field
But YOU can not imagine the monu-
montS and the memorial statuary.
You must see them. because they are
SO utterly unlike any thing we have in
our cold, prosaic land. In long mar
bic galleries, open to the air and the
sun, the monuments at first give the
cemetery the appearance of an art
exhibition. You imagine you have
wandered into sculpture gallery by
mistake; but the wreaths of flowers,
with broad silk sashes attached, the
swinging lamps, and the memorial tab
lets undeGeiVe you. Each monument
has, as it were. an arch of the gallery
to itself, and is placed against the
back wall The figures are rarely alle-
gorical. A man in his habit

nORSES FOR FARMERS.
Why They Should Raise None But Really
Desirable Animals.

Why They Should Raise None But Really
Desirable Animals.
The question with farmers towards
spring is, what sort of colts they will
find it most profitable to raise. This
depends to a great extent on tho ability
and taste of the farmer. The majority
of the farmers have not the skill and
judgment required to break and drive
high-spirited young horses, and if they
undertake to do it are almost sure to
meet with accidents that greatly im-
pair the value of the colt Such farm
ers will find it more advantageous and
less dangerous to raise colts Of the
draft breeds, as these are more slug
gish and much more easily handled to
the age when they can be sold, and If
they are sound and we'll developed
they will be in good demand.
There are some farmers who have
taste for good horses suitable for use
on the road and for fine carriage teams.
For superior horses of these classes
there is market at prices that return
a good profit to the breeder. There are
many who breed poor class of mares
to inferior stations with the natural
result that they never have any thing
for sale that is wanted for any but the
most ordinary uses, and Of this
kind of horses the market is
always overstocked. There are a
great many partly worn-out horses,
more or less unsound, that having
served their best days as driving horses
are sold for what they will bring, aad
the inferior stock raised by the farmer
as mentioned, when marketed. comes
in competition with this class and must
be sold at low prices.
If farmers would dispose of their
inferior mares and keep smaller
number of good ones, they would find
the result much more profitable. With
any kind of farm stock it pays to raise
the best, and especially is this the case
with horses where there is q wide
range Of prices depending on the indi-
vidual merits of the animal, and to
considerable extent on the skill with
which he has been handled.
Then, too, in deciding this question
the farmer should be governed by the
character of the mares he proposes to
use for breeding purposes, and select
such stations as are best suited for
them. Too many let the fee charged
settle the question, not considering
that the increased value Of the colt
may easily be much moro than the
amount Of the fee. 1t is a most short
sighted policy to patronize an inferior
stallion because the expense Of doing
this Is a few dollars less. Far better
breed smaller number Of mares and
raise fewer colts. The care. trouble
and expense will be Ices. and the re-
suit in every way more satisfactory

The Use Of Crying.

A French physician contends that
groaning and crying are two grand
operations by which nature allays
anguish; that those patients who give
way to their natural feelings more
speedily recover from accidents and
operations than those who suppose it
unworthy in a man to betray such
symptoms of cowardice as either to
groan or cry. He tells Of man who
reduced his pulse from one hundred
and twenty-six to sixty in the course of
few hours by giving full vent to his
emotion. If people are unhappy about
any thing, let them 60 into their
rooms and comfort themselves with a
loud boo-hoo and they will feel one
hundred per cent better afterward.
In accordance with this the crying of
children should not be so greatly dis
couraged. What is natural is nearly
always useful.--Fdrm and Firesiic.

OF the Democrats was to take taxes from

Republicans denied this strenuonsly, Kelley
say ing that no man who had read or heard
what he had said ON the subject OF internal
taxation since ;he close of the war, was just
flied in charging him with being in favor Of
free whisky. lie had never favored it. 1t
was n dine party necessity which made the
chairman OF the ways and means committee
10 make such charges against him personally
or as a representative of his party. He asked
the Democrats to keep their promises of four
years ago to the south, which had been de-
luded into their support by their lying prom
ises to remove the internal revenue taxes
Reed thought that the gentleman from
Texas did not mean to be believed when he
said the Republican party was for free
whisky, because the gentleman knew that
there would not ht enough Democrats left
to make up an electoral ticket in half of the
