of the bills were placed in circulation,
people not dreaming of counterfeit so
early after the first appearance of the
bill, and besides the stirring events Of
the war largely diverted their attention
from business matters.

suspicious being aroused he stole the
plate and caused it to be electrotyped.
after which it was returned to its old
hiding-place. The electrotype was
marked improvement on the original
counterfeit, and Mccartney worked off
his series in this city, and over 800, 600
OF the spurious stuff were readily placed
in circulation.
Meanwhile the Secret-Service officers.
led by Major Wood, had been apprised
OF the counterfeit, and were laying for

and in few days, in company with the
Johnsons, who had been found at Law

escort to the Military Prison at Wash

While the train was crossing the
mountain, although Mccartney was
handcuffed and shackled at the time,
he managed to make his escape, and in
two weeks he was back again in this
city, secured possession of his electro

escaped prosecution by turning up the
original plate and giving the officers
certain pointers with reference to other
offenders. Neither the Johnsons nor the
Government knew until long afterward
that Mccartney had an electrotype, and
had stolen a march on his former associ-
ates.-Indianapolis News.

These thee men hold the balance of

Meanwhile every argument is being

During the political campaign there
were some circulars gotten out. The
one which caused the most dissatisfac
ton was headed "White Men" A
few individuals got awfully mad, not
mad with the man who wrote the piece,
but with the one who printed it. The
thre. ts to thrash the man who printed
them were numerous. At that time
we told a great many men that We
printed it. Now for the special bene-
fit of those who have not yet heard
who printed the circulars We will here
inform them that the editor OF this
paper printed them. We did not
write the circular, we know who did
write it, and do nct intend to tell. but
we did print it. We are an entertain
ing young man, so if any and all the
fellows who made the threats will come
up to see US we will try and entertain
them all, but had rather only one or
two to come at time as we never like
to talk to more than two at time.
Come up gentlemen, you'll find us

Well-Scattered Pensions.
{ Youths Companion.

1t is not generally known that the
operation of the pension laws carries
money periodically to men of all ma
tionalities, who live in all quarters of
the globe. They are men who were
disabled in the service of the United
States, and have not since the war
taken the oath Of allegiance to any
other government.
To begin near home, there is paid
out of the national treasury one hun
bred and twenty thousand dollars an
nually to residents Of Canada, many of
whom have not seen the United States
since they were mustered out at
Washington at the close of the war.
Ireland has two hundred and fifty
pensioners on the rolls, who draw an
average of twelve dollars month, and
single county in England-Lancas
ter-has fifty pensioners. Thousands
of miles away in Australia are enough
pensioners to draw nearly two thou
sand dollars year. The Dark Con-
tinent has a round dozen pensioners.
living principally in Cape Town,
South Africa, while Liberia is repre-
scented by one lone widow whose hus-
band was freed by the emancipation
proclamation, and who died of the in-
juries he received in fighting the bat
ties of "Massa Linkum."
Giuseppe Osboli, away in Southern
Italy, draws the modest little sum Of
six dollars month for the fighting
he did some twenty odd years ago, and
now doubtless sits in the sun, and eats
macaroni while he details the deeds of
valor for which the great United
States Government now pays him SO
munifcently.
Away down in the Mediterranean
Sea, on the little Island of Malta, lives
a Greek by the name of Amabite
Feneck, who gets twelve dollars
month to remind him of the time when
he smell: powder in the far-away land
of America; and his case is matched in
Russian Finland. almost on the shores
of the Arctic Ocean, where lives one
Alexander Wilson, who served twenty
years in the United States Navy, and

dollars and twenty FIVE cents month,
which in that land is an income worth /

Hematite Ores of Cherokee.
Murphy Bulletin.

Prof. Joseph Wilcox, of Philadel-
phia, Pa, after an extended tour
through North Carolina thus speaks
of Cherokee county: "In Cherokee
county / spent a Jew days in viewing
the veins of hematite, marble and tale,
near Valley river. Never before have
/ seen such vast deposit of hematite.
If this ore was accessible to railroad
transportation believe the county of
Cherokee would soon be the richest in
the State. This ore aloe would afford
q profitable revenue for . railroad
from Cleveland. In this valley are
found all the elements necessary for
the manufacture of iron in large
quantities, viz; hematite, limestone,
tale and timber for fuel.

The Small Messenger Boy.

The messenger boy is no end of fun.
This individual was very tiny in body, but,
as you shall see. he WAS possessed of a large
mind and mighty vnlA:. He was coming
along the pavement just as Il big Norman
horse, driven in Il coal cart, stumbled
and Tell. Now, u messenger boy was
skilled in emergencies like this. He knew
exactly what to do. and so he skipped
blithely out and sat him down upon the
horses head. The horse, from sheer force
of habit, gave a feeble answering whisk to
his tail. Then he raised his head-perhaps
he only snorted, one could not be quite
sure-but, at any rate, the tiny little fel-
low was blown off into the air like a wisp
of hay and landed in the gutter on the
other side of the street. And the gather
ing crowd was ignoble enough to laugh,
while a very big policeman came out of the
throng and sat assurcdly OF the horses
head.-New York Evening Sun.

Bachelor Friends.

When a bachelor plunges into the pool Of
matrimony he usually leaves behind him,
as a bather might leave his clothes on the
shore, his old habits and his old friend
ships. The angel that he has taken for a
help meet looks upon the cronies of his cell
bate days with suspicion. She aspires to
be the keeper of his conscience, the sole de-
pository of his secrets, and is unwilling to
let even IL few stray beams of his affection
defect toward any outsider; insisting, the
dear monopolist, that they shall be all
localized upon herself.
If he loves her of course he yields, and
the friends of his bachelorhood find him a
changed man. They complain of this, per-
chance, but have they a right to do so:
What need has he of any other social con-
lidalt than his wife? The talk of his late
companions may not be wholesome for the
married ear; it is apt to be of old hirta-
tons and old time escapades. Young wives
know this by instinct, and they think that
such conversation is not improving to
young husbands.-New York Ledger.
