the counterfeit was denominated, was
ms common as its more legitimate
brother from the mint at Washington
or New Orleans along the Ohio valley,
and it was claimed openly and l be-
lieve frequently admitted to this day
by the older people that the big
Sandy dollar" contained as much silver
and was as handsome piece of money
as the genuine. Even long after the
discovery of the coniackers' den in the
mountain the bogus dollar remained in
circulation. To account for this the
writer has been often told that the
counterfeiters had discovered a 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 tradi-
ton still exists that n silver mine ex-
listed and was long worked at some
point on the Sandy.
This is the character of the country
wild, mountainous and almost i'm
penetrnbl and thinly populated by
people who are 100 years behind the
times and who to-day are living over

The mountaincers who live along the
Big Sandy river, which forms the
dividing line between West Virginia
and Kentucky, and their neighbors of
northeastern Kentucky, who have been
so prominent for many years in feuds,
vendettas, and bloody battles, are most
peculiar people with history running
away back into the '3O's, l0's and SOS
and generations preceding, which if
published would throw into the shade
the best efforts of the Texas frontier in
the days of its greatest notoriety. The
Big Sandians proper, the men who
compose the corps of the Hatfields and
McCoys, owe their peculiar character
istics, their yengeful disposition, and
their undHunted bravery to an ances-
try dating back to the time when the
foothills of the Cumberland mountains,
the streams and valleys tributary to
the Sandy were nrst settled by race
of intrepid Indian hunters and trap
pers, followers of Boone, kenton, Ar
buckle, and other leading spirits.
Many of these men married Indian
squhws captured in raids, or purchased
from the different warlilSe tribes which
then inhabited this region, and the
blood of these feminine branches of
the kinglicst Indians for tradition and

A Queer Spectacle.

A peculiar spectacle was witnessed on
the Bowery in New York the other night.
A crowd of men of varied conditions and
nationalities was on the corner of Mott
street. Two Salvation Army girls, with
broad -brimmed bonnets tied over their
ears, came up. They distributed pamphlets
on which We're printed a warning to drunk
ards. Every man in the crowd was given
one. There were Italians, Poles, Hunga-
rians and Cinnamon. Each girl smiled
men accepted her gift They read the
pamphlet through as best they could. The
girls continued their way up the Bowery,
giving q handbill to every person they
met. No one was refused. The locality
is supposed to be the toughest one in New
York, yet the two missionaries were
treated with the most marked courtesy
and no one said an offending word to them.
Chivalry is not dead yet, even on the
Bowery.

mated.
DR.. Hibberd says; 1t seems time
that the relation of clothing to the
people of temperate climates engaged
in civil industries should be reviewed,
and the points for investigation may
be summarized thus, viz; % The
popular and professional estimate of
the hygiene OF the skin is much below
its real Importance. (2) The physiol-
ogy of the skin cannot be largely in
terfered with without endangering the
general health. (3) One of the influen-
tial factors in the sound health of man
is To establish and maintain in his or
ganization resisting power to the
causes OF decease. (4) The tendency
is to overdress, enervating g the skin
and curtailing its power, and thereby
the power of the whole system, to re-
sist the causes of decease. (5) A prop
err exposure of the surface of the body
to environing low temperature is
valuable general tonic. (6) Yentila-
ton of the skin is indispensable to
good health. a. Habit may enable
one to bear wide differences in cloth
ing under similar surroundings with
out detIiment, and this should impress
the necessity of cultivating correct
habits in dress.
