CounteFfeiM@ Half Dollar.

A dangerous counterfeit fifty cent
piece has been sprung upon the guileless
public. The piece is d beauty, and shows
great rare and skill in its make up. It
is one of the series Of 1887 and has the
clear ring Of the genuine article. The
main point OF difference, however, lies
in the thickness. which is a trife more
than in the genuine article. The figure
on one side is rather obscure, but is, at
the same time, nearly perfect, although
there is a slight depression in the shield.

4 telegraph Wire for Gossip.

William Trip run a farm near Round
Lake and raises produce, which he sells
to the people living on the camp ground.
His wife sells excellent milk, and the
couple, who are past middle age, make a
comfortable living. The young folks of
the camp ground are fond of visiting the
farm, where they drink milk and chat
with Mrs. Trip, who, through the me-
dunn Of her private telegraph line,
knows all the country gossip for miles
around.
Last year the farmer, finding his even
ings heavy on his hands. bought a tele-
graph instrument and ran a wire to the
railroad station two miles away. From
there he extended the line to a neighbor-
ing settlement and later connected with
two farmhouses several miles below.
The farmer and his wife have both be-
come excellent operators, and now spend
their spare time exchanging country Cos
sip with theinfriends over the wire. The
telegraph operator in the railroad station
keeps them supplied with the principal
news items he hears from other points
on the road, and there are few better in
formed residents Of the county than
Farmer Trip and his wife.-Cor. New

A Victim of the Common House Fly

1t is said that the late Father Damien
attributed the leprosy which brought
about his death to incubation by flies
which flew from leprous patients to a
wound on his head. 1t must be remem-

in which infectious diseases are con
veyed by flies, these insects do an i'm
mense amount of useful service by the

perform.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Wanted His letter.

Very strange is the adventure through
which a postman named Boudon has
just passed at Mines. He had taken a
registered letter to Faure, a shoe
maker, and was about to leave the house
when the man closed the door, pulled a
revolver out of his pocket, and rushing
on Boudon threw him down and bound
him securely. He then informed the
terrified postman of his intention to re-
tain him as a hostage until he had re-
ce1ved divers letters written to him by
the president Of the republic and the
minister Of justice in reply to his appli-
cation for the restoration of 80, 900 francs
lost in a lawsuit.
Faure sent a note TO the head of tie
postal department explaining how mat
tiers stood, and while awaiting an an
swer barricaded his apartments. When
the police arrived he called out that he
had provisions for a week, two revolvers
and plenty Of ammunition, and that if
they attempted to force the door he
would kill his prisoner. The situation
was extremely awkward. The affair
had become known in the neighborhood,
IL Liz d0JdICLI "C4O COO4
thronged with at least 5000 Of the towns
people:
A last attempt to parley with the in
furiated shoemaker having proved abor-
tive, the police and gendarmes broke
into the place, fred a few shots to
frighten Faure, and succeeded in Sc
curely taking him into custody ere he
had time to carry out his threat. They
had great difficulty in conducting him
to prison, as the crowd wanted to lynch
him. Faure is described as a monoma-
MAC, and it appears that when M. Car
not visited Mines some time ago he
made some curious preparations in or
der to attract his attention, which, how
ever, were but lost labor, as the presi-
dent passed down another street.-Paris

Since the Revolution there have been
wars with England and with Mexico,
with Tripoli and with Algier; broils
with Paraguay and Corea. and a
gigantic civil. war; rumors of wars
with France, England Spain and
Italy. There have been the John
Brown raid, the Barburner and
Fenian raids to Canada, many in
cursions across the Mexican border,
and the tilibustering expeditions to
Cuba and Nicaragua. We have had
the Whiskey and shays rebellions;
the election, draft, railroad, recon-

massacres. We have lost more men

he will go over to Taaylor's Falls,

freely on everything from the subject
of the Knute Knelson boom for gov

he considered safely Republican, and
he has strong hopes for New York.

speaking of Knute Nelson he said he
thought it would be wise to nominate
him for governor next year. He be-
lieves that if he is nominated there
will be very little heard from the AL
linnce in the Seventh district. At

siders, are good. He said that the

The chase, or the reputed chase, of the
Chilean steamer Itata by the United
States warship Charleston, with the
possibly fateful chance that the latter
will find the former conveyed by the
ponderous Chilean ironclad Esmeralda.
recalls an incident of anti-rehellion
slavery days, when the StYx, British
gunboat, was aggravatingly active along
the Cuban coast in waylaying and
boarding American merchantmen sus-
pected of being engaged in the slave
trade, which England held to be piracy.
AS our government was then admins
tered by those who were not at all averse
to slavery, but distinctly defended of it
as divine institution, these demonstra-
lions by the Styx were highly incensing
to the American authorities, and the
most formidable warship in the service
was dispatched from the Brooklyn navy
yard to pursue and punish the presump

Just clearing Sandy Hook the ma

Trouble In Garfield.

GARFIELD, May l3.-For some time
war has been brewing between the town
of Garfield and Charles Durant. Durant
ran a saloon here the past year, and be-
fore the time for its removal, May l, the
council raised the license for saloons
from $500 to $1,000 This Durant de-
clined to pay, claiming he could not
afford it, and his house was closed. But
he swore vengeance against the mayor
and members of the council, and evidence
that he meant what he said was given a
few days ago. The building used as a
saloon was opened as emperance hall.
All kinds of mild drinks were advertised
as being for sale. Then he added a
lunch counter, for the benefit of Mayor
Laird, who runs the hotel; stock of
canned goods for the benefit of Council
man Case, who carries groceries, and
hams and bacon for Councilman OVERLY,
who is butcher Senator McCroskey,
the other offending councilman, was
temporarily out Of reach, being farmer,
but Durant swears he shall never have
another Office In view Of the fact that
the senator has been very favorably
mentioned in connection with the gov
ernorship this seems the unkindest cut
of all. The true inwardness of the tenn
perance hall, however, was lot of blank
orders for all kinds of liquors to be
shipped from Durant's saloon at Tekoa.
Just how many minutes it takes for the
initiated to have their orders filed the
writer does not know.
