his cruelty and soon began to lay plans to
kill his wife

cheap pistol, and going to his house, de-
liberately shot and killed the helpless woman.

WONDERFUL COUNTERFEIT.
The Two-DOllar Silver Certificate Du-
plicated Even to the Paper

plicated Even to the Paper.
A sensation has been caused at the United
States Treasury Department at Washington
by the discovery of a counterfeit So silver
certificate so nearly perfect in all its parts as
to be almost impossible of detection.
Heretofore all counterfeits of our paper
currency have been readily detected by the
failure to initiate the distinctive character
of the paper on which Government notes are
printed, which is so arranged that each part
of it forming complete note contains solid
silk thread running through it lengthwise-
This paper is, for the first time, almost per-
fectly initiated in the counterfeit just dis
covered.
So far as is now known it has been used
only in counterfeiting the 81 silver certificate
of the series Of 1886. This note was designed
under the supervision of Treasurer Jordan
and contains on it's face a vignette Of
General Hancock.
1t is estimated now that nearly $40 OOO,
600 worth of these notes are in circulation;
and the problem before the Treasury De-
partment is how to get them back into the
Treasury and to substitute new series
without serious embarrassment, before any
considerable quantity OF the counterfeit notes
get into circulation.
It has been practically decided TO suspend
the printing of the 50 silver certificate and
to institute q new series of the same demon
ination. These will contain vignette of
Secretary Window and will be issued as soon
as the necessary plate can be engraved. 1t
will take about two months to prepare the
plates, and in the meantime the Govern
ment will exert its utmost endeavors to Sc
cure and destroy the plates and other para
phernaha used in the manufacture Of the
oOunterfeit

The phosphate excitement in the South is
such that thirty-two new companies were
organized during the quarter, nineteen OF
which were formed in Florida. The extra
ordinary activity in railroad building in the
South is evidenced by the fact that during
the three months ninetythree new railroad
companies were incorporated, thirteen In
Virginia. thirteen in North Carolina, twelve
in Georgia ten in Alabama. seven each IN

No critic has yet given us a scientific
analysis of Irish genius, but there are
certain features of it which all recog-
nize as distinctive-as peculiarly Irish.
The most marked of these, perhaps, is
the delicate subtlety of the language
used in expressing the emotions.
Through all the ages this has been noted.
No matter whether the poet or orator
was Kettle or Norman, Dane or Saxon,
if only his family had been in Ireland
long enough, his illusions showad the
same exquisite perception of the delicate
shades of meaning in all words expressive
of sorrow or love, anger, humor OF
hatred, devotion or patriotism. Is it in
the air or the scenery?
The verses of Tom Moore, Oliver Gold
smith, Dr. Maginn, Charles Lover and
many others might be cited in this con
nection.
These are but specimens of the most
cultured Irish poets, but the great point
of interest in this connection is the enor-
nous mass of poetry and song floating
among the common people. And this
has distinguished Ireland from the ear
lest times. The Druids and the bards,
the early Christian missionaries and later
heroes, even the transplanted Danes,
Normans, Scotchmen, Saxons, all were
poetic after their kinds, and in many sec
tons of Ireland the trained ear often de-
tects a sort of rhythm in the common
speech of the peasantry. To sketch ever
so briefly the writers of popular Irish
songs in recent times would simply be
to write book And the supply is ap-
parently without limit, the music as
sweet, the language as tender, as deli
cately shaded as ever No popular move
ment is without its poets; no corner of
Ireland but enjoys many local ballads,
Yet, it must be in the air

THURSDAY EVENING, MAR. IL. 1891.

Everything was in state of great
hustle and preparation allover the place.
Little Morning Glory could hear them
hammering and running about, and she
felt that something was going 10 happen.
Once she caught the word "hride," and
something told her what il all meant,
and little jealous pain went through
her heart, for she had once overheard
the housemaid telling the cook that all
men were tickle, and that when they
were away from one they never thought
of one ut all, and were taken up with
whoever was nearest them, and the
cook had agreed fully with all that the
housemaid had said, and the cook knew
men if any one did, she said.
So little Morning Glory hung her
leaves in sadness and quite forgot to feel
proud of her pretty pink babies-for there
were great many of them now.
Once she felt something tug at her
roots and a rough hand grasped her;
then a kind voice said, Don't touch that;
master loved the little vine, and it must
be left as it is" Oh, how relieved little
Morning Glory felt at these words! She
reached out and tried TO touch the
speaker, but the maid hurried away and
never saw the little green hands at all
Soon the nights began to be chilly, and
one by one her babies left her and hut-
tered to the ground, and she herself
grew pale and felt very weak and i'll,
and she feared that she was going TO die
How she wished that Somebody would
come back; she was afraid that he would
be too late.
One morning she heard the window
open, and Somebody again stood there;
there was some one with him nova
beautiful lady-and he held her in his
arms and called her Sweetheart" In
his new happiness he had quite forgotten
his little friend, and Morning Glory's
heart ached as she remembered what the
maid had told the cook.
Just then Somebody looked out and
saw poor little Morning Glory with her
leaves all faded and brown, and he re-
preached himself because he had not
thought of her before.
Here, dearest" he said to the lady,
''this is the little friend told you of,
and he laid the withered little stem in
the lady's delicate hand.
A glad thrill ran through the Morning
Glory, and she dropped sixty tiny seeds
into the soft open palm; then as the wind
swept around the corner sudden shud-
der seized her, and little Morning Glory
was dead.
"See!my pet" said Somebody, pointing
to the little black seeds, that means
good luck; 1t is her gift to the bride"
And the beautiful lady smiled and she
put the seeds in a little box, saying,
Next year we will have another Morn
ing Glory vine there just like the old one. y
NO." said Somebody, ''never one quite
like that, for that one was like little
friend; it really seemed to understand
me. But then 1 don't need any one to
understand me now, for have you,
and again the lady was folded in loving
embrace and Somebody kissed her softly.

Good Corn to Raise.

A Kansas paper says the entire supply
of Jerusalem corn came from two kerr
nels. These produced the seed from
which five bushels were raised the fol-
lowing season, and the next crop amount
ed to 500 bushels.
The plant grows to the height of about
three feet and resembles broom corn or
sorghum. The grain is white and an
swers every purpose which is served by
Indian corn. 1t makes sweeter and bet
ter bread, and is delicious when boiled
after the manner of oatmeal. In wet
weather it runs to stalks and grows six
feet high, without any grain to speak of.
1t produces best when the season is
dry, and after the plant gets start it is
said to be absolutely impervious to the
influence of drought and hot winds.

pairing to engage in its culture next sea-
son to a large extent.

The price has been advanced five cents
