facture was not suppressed until a long
time after everybody knew as we'll as
the officers themselves that the coun-
terfeit was manufactured somewhere
up the stream. The "Big Sandy dol
lar" as the counterfeit was denomina-
ted, was as common as it's more legiti-
mate brother from the mint at Wash
ington or New Orleans along the Ohio
valley, and it was claimed openly, and
I believe frequently admitted to this
day by the older people, that the Big
Sandy dollar" contained as much sill
yer and was as handsome a piece of
money as the genuine. Even long after
the discovery of the coniackers' den in
the mountain the bogus dollar re-
NAMED in circulation. To account for
this the writer has been often told that
the counterfeiters had discovered q
vein or mine of silver in the mountain,
and that they were using pure silver
and more of it" than was contained in
the genuine. Be that as it may, the ira
dition still exists that silver mine
existed and was long worked at some
point on the Sandy.
I believe none of the counterfeiters
were ever arrested, and the reason
given is that there was code of ethics
among the inhabitants which granted
every one the privilege of using his
raw material as he saw fit. The same
code prevails to this day in another
branch of illegal trade-that of moon
shining, or making Illicit whisky-for
it is well known fact that although
the article can be gotten at almost
every hamlet no one has yet been fool
hardy enough to betray the maker and
then remain in the country.
The traveller, If he is not spy or
marshal, has no difficulty in getting as
much of the clear, limpid, but terribly
strong stuff called "pinetop" or. moon
shine" as he wants. It would be little
or no use, certainly very unsafe, to un
dertake to hunt down and capture the
moonshiner, for every tree, OF gulch,
or mountain side would be very apt to
be the hiding place of sharpshooter,
and these men can shoot, and that they
are overly and uncomfortably fond of

prove.
With all these strange characteristics
and backed by a pedigree somewhat
unsavory these people are kind and
hospitable in the extreme to any one

ALong.DeIayed Wedding Fee.

Three years ago, said well-known

promised that he would not forget me.
I saw him several times affefward, but
he never REQUIRED to the subject of the
fee, and the, matter passed from my
mind, but this. week I received a SO
bill from him, with this brief but sig
nifcant explanation:

of my married life the extravaganza

you so kindly united me, was such

POSTAL TELEGRAPH SCHEME.
ASyndcate Submits a Proposition to the
House Committee.

Washington dispatch: A new prop
osition in connection with the proposed
establishment of a. government postal
telegraph system was made to the House
committee on postofices by j. M. Sey-
mour, member of the New York Stock
Exchange. Mr.. Seymour stated that he
represented q number of Well-knOWn
capitalists who were willing to build
lines and maintain a postal telegraph
system under government supervision
in accordance with the provisions of the
POStmaster-GeneralS bill or to operate
Oh uniform 25-cent rate.
They hoped to make the undertaking
a success by the Patten multipleX sys-
TEN, which has been in operation in
New York and Philadelphia for six
months. The syndicate proposed to
build and maintain the lines, furnish
operators. power and stationery and
to have the right to build
and be protected in constructing
lines over all postal roads. It asked to
be exempted from Federal and State
taxation. In cities where the postoffices
we're cramped for want of room the syn
dicate proposed to furnish it's own
offices.
1t was desired to make contract with
the government for fifteen years with
the privilege of renewal, unless the gov
eminent would take the lines at the end
of that time at a value to be appraised by
experts. Mr.. Seymour said he would
rather not give the names of his aSSO-
ciates, but assured the committee that
they were ali we'll known throughout the
commercial world and were willing to
give a bond of 800, 900 as a guarantee
that they would carry out any contract
with the government,
The syndicate expected, he stated, to
be allowed to do private business outside
of the government work. Mr.. Seymour
claimed that had the Western Union

She Didn't Run the Town.

No matter what may be mans per-
sonal convictions on the temperance
question, he is bound to respect those
of his wife. The venerable Senator
Thurman was never considered rabid
on that issue, but his wife, for reasons
of her own, was fully imbrued with the
touch not, taste not, handle not" prin-
ciple. It is related that upon one oc-
casion Senator Humans friends Wis
tied his house to apprise him that a
new political honor had been conferred
upon him. He was pleased, but after
they had been seated few moments
the conversation Jagged, and the old
Roman seemed to be i'll at ease. His
wife tried her best to entertain the
campaigners, and the Senator excused
himself. He presently appeared with
his boots and top-coat on.
Gentlemen, said he, "we will now
go out and get something to smoke.
Ny wife is the boss here, and we never
have anything to drink in the house."
Mrs. Thurman looked pleased as she
closed the door after them.

tor, "she runs the house. but, thank
God she doesn't run the town. "-NeW

BURIED BY THE EARTH.
Loss OF LIFE By A LANDSLIDE AT
TROY, n. Y.

Heavy Rains Loosen Immense Masses OF
Earth, Which Crush Down Build
ings Below, Burying and Managing
Many PeOple-The Killed and Injured
So Far as Known.
Troy On. " dispatch: AS result OF
the recent continued heavy rains land
slide occurred on Warren's hill, at the
head of Adams street. Immense masses OF
earth fell, destroying in their course a
double two-story brick house on Haver-
man. avenue occupied by four families.
Immense crowds were attracted by the
crash and pressed in from all sides to-
ward the scene of devas tation. Mum
bers of willing hands were formed to aid
in removing the ruins and rescuing the
victims. The fire departm ent was also
called out to aid in the work.
The following persons were taken out
of the ruins crushed to death:
ANNIE BURNS, aged s.
Mrs CANTON, an old woman.
MRS HOGAN, Mrs. Canton's daughter.
Several others were dragged out more
or less injured. There is scene or wild
excitement in the vicinity of the disas-
ter, which is intensified by the fear of
another slide, the earth on the hill being
in very shaky condition.
The injured are Patrick Garfield, ST.,
and wife; Patrick Garfield, Jr., and
wife: John A. Hern, wife, and three
children. They were all badly cut and
bruised. Their house was torn from its
foundations, carried in the street, and
crushed into a shapeless mass. the only
part visible being the roof.
The slide came against large brick
house on the opposite side of the street
and was stopped, preventing larger de-
StructiOn of life and property.
A small house near that destroyed was
also crushed. 1t was occupied by James
Lawrenson and family, who escaped
with slight injuries. The Burns girls
neck was broken and Mrs. Canton was
crushed and mangled beyond recogni-
ton. 1t was some hours before the vic
Tins were rescued owing to the diff
Guilty in working in the clay soil. A
similar slide occurred near the same spot
in 1858, when the Provincial seminary,
then in course. of construction, was
buried and never dug out.

Like mist upon the mountains far.
like moonlight on a sleeping stream,
Oh ike some pale and distant star,
Our past lives seem.
Their memories elude our grasp,
Their events perish like the flowers
In vain we stretch our hands to clasp
Those lives of ours.
The Past how vague and shadowy alll
Did we those misty pathways tread2
And they who answer not our call,
The silent Dead,
We're they once with US as we deem2
Their images are fading fast,
Or is it but cherished dream,
This phantom Past%
Comes there from that shadow-land
Aught else but shapes as in a dream?
We greet no actual kindred band;
We catch q gleam,
'Tis true, of what we call our Past;
visionary glimpse we get,
As of twilight waning fast,
And then-fOrget.

The week has been marked by a
noticeable check in the movement of
general merchandise throughout the

aud fears of further overflows. I'm
favorable weather and high water have
had their effect also throughout the
Ohio river valley.
Improved merchandise movements are
reported from Boston. Pittsburg. Kan

of available stock of grain east of the
Rocky mountains. United States and
Canada, show uniform decreases last
week. The decrease of only SIZES
bushels of wheat was surprisingly small.
Exports of wheat land -four as wheat)

of about 1876, 10000 bushels.
There is no renewed strength in iron
