 VIENNA, Sept. 30.-The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Political Correspon- dence of this city telegraphs that the req son for Russia's declination to cooperate with the rest of the powers in calling China to account for the recent outrages upon foreigners, is that Russia does not desire to strengthen England's influence in Asia, and also because the Russian govern ment is of the opinion that the disturbed condition of China will assist in extending Russian commerce in the direction of the pEpissted Siberian railroads,

Eight Twenty-D0ilar Notes Made Out
of Seven.

Capt. Porter of the secret
servire came into possession
OF a new counterfeit bill yes
terday. 1t wa a $40 bill made
OF patches from seven differ
ent notes OF thesame denom-
nation. Theseven pieces were
skillfully patched together
with strips of court plaster,
but they constituted a whole
bill, which appeared perfectly
good. Any mutilated bill is
redeemable at Sub Treasury,
provided three fiiths Of the
bill is present, the maker of
this note therefore worked a
very neat scheme by taking
seven twenty-dollar bills and
tearing enough from each to
make another bill. The mutt
lated notes being redeemable
he cashea them forgood notes
at Sub-Treasury, and taking
the portions he had torn off,
he mace a very presentable
twenty-dollar bill. The num-
bers in each corner were DIFF
ferent, but the notein all 9th
er respects, even upon close
Investigation, appeared to be
good. Capt. Porter, in en-
deavoring to trace the bill
to it's maker, found that it
had been paid into the Sub
Trearury by a post master.
The latter had received it
from a woman who had ta-
ken it it in change for a$1OO
bill at a1arge business house
in this city. The firm was un
able to trace it to any of its
customers, and the search
was abandoned. .-Chicag0

The Married Man.

A married man always car
ries his condition with him,
like a trademark. Any body
OF average discernment can
detect him at a glance. He
does not pinch his toes with
tight boots. He does not
scent himself with violets. He
never parts his hair in the
middle. He keeps his seat in
the horse car when the pretty
girl, laden with bundles,
comes in; he knows that his
wife wouldn't approve OF his
rising. He does not get up
flirtations. with the good
looking saleswoman where
he buys his gloves; he remem
bers that little birds are fly.
ing all around telling tales,
and he has a horror OF cur
tain lectures; somehow, mar
lied men never seem to ar
rive at that state of beati-
tude where they appreciate
the kind of performances
known as curtain lectures.
The married man has come
to that stage when he is con.
vinced that the way his neck
tie hangs may not be any
more important than his
souls salvation. He knows
to a certainty that true hap
piness does not depend ON
the amount OF starch in his
shirt-bosom, but he will have
to have been at least three
times welded before he will
be able to be reconciled to a
collar-band two sizes small

The Decliler Gold Cola.

Few of the citizens of Ashe-
vile, and in fact of Western
North Carolina, know that
there was once in circulation,
gold coin, made without the
sanction Of the government,
but accepted by the people
and the banks as freely as
the present gold coin. Such
is the fact. This gold was
coined by a German by the
name Of Bechler, who lived
in Rutherfordton, and some
OF his golG pieces are preserv-
ed. Judge E. j. Aston has
one of these coins, a two dol
lar and a half piece, and 9th
er gentlemen of Asheville,
have, it is believed, specimens
of the Bechler one dollar
piece. On one side OF Judge
Aston's gold piece appears
in raised letters, "North Car
olina gold,2 Oh the 9th
erside, "Bechler, Rutherford
and the number of grains
and carets fine. 1t Is said
that Bechler was an expert
metal worker and gold beat
er; a man ofgreatintelligence
highly respected by all who
knew him. The scarcity OF a
circulating medium gave rise
to the Bechler coin.
There is no date on any of
the Bechler coins, and none
on Judge Aston's piece, but
it was coined for several
years, from about 1887 to
1845 Or 1850. Col. Clayton,
of this county, tells an anus
ing story about this coin,
and the way business was
done in the old days. His
father, Col. Clayton the elder,
who is still hale and hearty,
had a contract to build a
court house in one ofthe Blue
Ridge counties. AS fast as
the sheriff collected the taxes,
he paid over to Col. Clayton
certain sums. It consisted
almost entirely of Bechler
coin aud old Spanish dollars,
and at last Col. G.. had on
a bushel box full. The late
Bacchus Smith dealt largely
in ginseng, going through the
country to collect it from the
Learning of
the amount OF coin in Col.
C.,s possession, he visited
him and effected an exchange
for State Bank, or Bank of
Cape Fear notes, giving 4
check for the money. When
he filled his leathern saddle
bags and rode away from
col. Clayton's, his son was in
distress, that all the

WASHINGTON LETTER,
From our Regular Correspondent

Lie NdllOlld' ASSOcld UlOn
of democratic clubs will
launch a decided political
novelty on the 18th OF Sep
tembsr, when a special oar
under the control of that AS
sociation will start from
Washington on a forty days
missionary tour. The car will
go direct to Chicago and
from there to st. Paul and
Minneapolis, where special
meetings will be addressed
by the speakers who will
compose the crew .,f mission
aries; and it will go by easy
stages along the No, thern
Pacific railway, stopping at
all important points to al
low the educational work to
be done. The car will be due
at Spokane Falls un the 23rd
of Septemberi 1pon which
date u convention of the
democratic clubs will be in
session there, and a grand
reception will be held.
The journey will then be
continued around Puget
Sound in Oregon: thence
through CALIFORNIA, Utah
and Colorado, and returning
to Iowa about the time the
State campaign has reached
it's warmest period. There
the missionaries are to take
off their coats and take in
hand in re-electing Govern
or BOies. The cal will be in
charge of fMr. Lawrence Gard
ner Secretary Of the Associa-
ton, and among those who
have already volunteered as
working missionaries are Sen
ator Kenna, Representative
Bynum, ex-Representative
McAdoO and Hon. Chaucey
F. Black President of the .As-
sociatiop. "A number of prom
trent democrats have the in
vitation under consideration
and if they can so arrange
their business affairs will also
become missionaries for the
dissemination of sound dem
ocratic doctrine. Some of
them who cannot spare the
entire forty days may join
the party temporarily either
coming or going or both.
Success to the idea md to
the missionaries.
Secretary Foster, who has
returned to Washington, is
very much put out because
Of the publication of the fact
that the continuation of the
maturing AZ per cent bonds

600 of these bonds ont stand
when the offer was made
have been presented for con-
tinuance and only two weeks
in which they may be
continued. What remains
out after that time must be
redeemed and Chat is what is
worrying the sstute Secreta-
~ Of the Treasury. If any
large amount of these bonds
are to be redeemed and it|
seems certain now that there
will be, it will be necessary to-
make a considerable hole in
the $100.00O.00O gold re-
serve fund, and although Mr..
Foster says that he will not
