Let me give you In the briefest man.
ner possible the condition OF state bank

Peterson's Philadelphia Counterfeit De
tector and Bank Note List, 10 which |
now refer. The first announcement that
greets you is with respect 10 1.-THE coun.
terfoit Dos and zoos Of the Philadelphia
bank, with this warning In bold type,
Look out for them. Then follows the
announcement, "Seventy-nino new coun-
terfeits have been put in circulation
within tho last month, three being Of
issues Of Pennsylvania banks" On the
LIST Of December, 1850, Philadelphia had
twenty-ono banks, all at par with the
exception Of tho Bank OF Pennsylvania,
which was at discount Of 05 per cent,
and nearly all, II not all. Of their issues
were counterfeited.
There were eighty-ono country banks,
80 called. in tho state OF Pennsylvania.
OF these tho notes Of only twenty-one
were at par, those Of one being unstable
and those Of the other iifty-nino at dis
count ranging from half of per
cent. to % per cent. In respect TO
the state Of Arkansas tho statement is
made that all the banks arc uncertain"
In Alabama there werO seven banks, six
at discount OF per cent and the
other ut ! per cent. In Delaware
there were ten banks, nine at par and
one at half Of per cent. discount.
In tho District Of Columbia there were
six banks, five ut half Of per cent.

which is smaller than the total number
Of business failures throughout the coun-
try during nine months Of any preceding
year since 1888, with the exception Of
1887, when the total was 1858, and 1888,
when the aggregate was 1880. As COM

would pull him out Of trance If any
thing would He is no dyspeptic at
present.
Then came part of the exhibition
that seemed decidedly cruel, but the
subject paid no more attention to II, APP
parently, than II he had been made OF
leather. One Of the lookers-on noted
his pulse at this stage from time TO time,
and as it went up TO 10 it was plain
that the nervous system was consider
ably affected though the subject did
not feel the pain, nor was he aware OF
what was going on. A stout neeele, l Z
inches long, was passed, forciby,
pushed rather, through the subjects
right cheek at the line OF the junction
of the teeth. The flesh is half an inch
thick there and it takes some muscle TO
get the needle entirely through. The
Professor said no blood would follow its
course, and none did. The point Of the
needle was inserted on the inside of the
cheek, and when the point protruded
sufficiently on the outside IL was seized
aud pulled through. Then second
needle was passed perpenuicularly
through the inside OF the lower lip, and
brought outside. The two spectators
were urged 10 make similar experiments
for themselves, and fresh needlhs were
offered for the purpose, but very
promptly declined. Not the smallest
vestage of blood followed either pune
ture, nor did the sleeper finch In the
slightest degree. Yet his pulse ran up
as has been stated, and when the Pro-
fessOr's attention was called TO the mat
ter he thought it best to bring the sub
ject pack to consciousness, which was
effected by a twirling and swapping OF
fingers at his ear.
William Jones, Of Jonesboro, emerged
from this apparently particularly bad
half an hour with slightly rueful look,
and, after cogitating for minute or two
he began rubbing his right cheek. When
asked if he felt any pain, he responded,
with q sort of Schoolboy sulenness:
My cheek hurts" The Professor
looked pale and little worn, and com
planned that the room was close. Will
liam shot a logged glance at him and

aud the order was obeyed TO the extent
of three or four turns. William
was asked il be slept well at
night, end replied that be aver
aged from seven to ten hours Of
good, solid sleep As to dreams,
he had them often, some good, some

not aroused the subject the sleep would
have continued indefinitely, and after
some hours might possibly result 10
death. In the course OF five minutes
William recovered from his grievance
as to the check But of pain ne gave
no sign whatever until some little time
after he was aroused; aud there is no
doubt that be would have been totally
passive If the spectators had undertake
en- to bungle large needles through his
cheeks and lips.

men who fought ii down deserve the
thanks OF all liDerty-loving citizens, for
it is remembered that great Demo-

the greatest number. And in this case
the ordinance in question would have
robbed the innocent and respectable OF
their constitutional rights as citizens.
But aside from these considerations,
the ordinance would have been fruitless

about the roofs OF the tree 20 flod out
the causes why the fruit is rotten.
You must begin By teaching In the col

on the Improvement Of the human,
which is of so much greater importance.
There Is, however, IN this nothing hin

on the rights Of the people. But this
is rather an explanation Of the passage

New York, December 24.-The
Coney Island Athletic Club big purse OF
S45, 900 for McAulffe and Burge TO
fight for has already a tendency to pro-
duce a kick upon the part OF Billy
Myer and his hacker, ALT Kennedy.
According to a dispatch from Chicago
Yesterday. Myer says he will not clinch
a match with Austin Gibbons, stating as
a reason that he wants TO go to Mount
Clemens for his health. All Kennedy
seems to be more explicit. He says that
it is pretty certain that Myer will not
fight for the purse offered. why"
added Kennedy, 'if McAuliffe and Dick
Burge are worth S45, 900 surely Gibbons
and Myer ought to be worth more than
81. 900 or 5000"
Dick Burge has empowered Jack
Haggerty, the English swimmer who
accompanied Burge to America, and q
Boston man to look after his interests
this morning in bringing the match
with McAuliffe. Dick Roche will also
be on hand to ratify the agreement in
behalf Of the American Champion.
George Mcdonald, who came to
America with Dick Burge In the ca
pacity OF trainer to the English cham
pion, has decided to returned to Eng
land as soon as possible. Mcdonald
claims that Burge has acted unfairly
with him in requesting him TO come TO
this country and then DESERVING him.
