 Lincoln's administration of affairs from the time of his inauguration March 4, 1861, ill the spring of 1864, whom Presidential candidate was to be nominated, had grad aally taken very popular hold on the masses.

A False Report.

Much excitement was accustomed In
Annapolis and Baltimore last night by the
report that the Bay Ridge steamer Colum-
bia had sunk on her trip between Balti-
more and Bay Ridge yesterday afternoon
and that q number of the excursiOnists
had been drowned. Many expected
friends down from Baltimore and these
expressed much anxiety concerning their
safety. Several called at the telegraph
offices In very excited manner, aud
inquired If the runner was correct. ii
was unfounded and the boat was re-
ported to be safe at Bay Ridge. How the
runner got out Is not known. Reports Of
this kind are apt to cause good deal OF
annoyance and trouble, and people should
be careful In circulating them The police
schooner Folly. Capt. CLARK, was at anchor
Ia Magothy river when the Columbis
came down from Baltimore yesterday,
aud neither Capt. CLARK nor the Captain oI

sensational report was brewing In regard

How a Boston Firm was Neatly swim

There Is thousand dollar counterfeit
note In the possession of the Secret Ser
vice Bureau Ia Washington with an inter-
esling history. One morning not so very
long ago q handsomely dressed lady en-
tered one Of the largest dry goods houses
in Boston. and, after selecting q ehawl
worth $3.50 rendered q genuine 81 900
In payment. The note Was, OF course,
carefully scrutinized and finally sent 10 q
nelghb0riug bank, where Ii was vcuched
for. When the lady was Informed OF iis
acceptance she became indignant. and
expressed In No measured terms her opin-
lon OF q firm that would for q moment sus-
pect her honesty. So wrathy was she, In
deed that she refused to take the shawl aud
replacing the money In her pocketbook
left the store.
Later In the day she returned Her an
ger had disappeared, and she explained
that, hsYing walked all over Boston with
out being able 10 find . shawl that suited
her, she had returned TO apologize for her
hasty action, aud took the shawl she had
first selected. Again she rendered 81 900
note-not genuine one this time, but q
closely executed counterfeit
or course the firm accepted the money
believing 1t to be the genuine note
without question, and the woman depar-
ted with her shawl and $3.50 In change.
The swIndle was not discovered until the
counterfeit was rejected at the bank. The
note was then sent to the Secret Service
Bureau, where It's history Is occasionally
related to interested visitors. The wo-
man was never caught.
