riors that the spaniards have given up trying
to conquer them, and the Spanish settlers in

In another kind Of bunting the Patagonians
use very simple implement. consisting Of o
light reed about eight feet in length, at the
end OF which IL a moose composed of a strip cut
from the side Of a long feather. This moose
has sufficient pliabilty 20 be drawn tight when
pulled and sufficient elasticity to keep itself
open. Furnished with this tool, the hunter
looks out for partridge on the ground, and.
when he finds one, begins riding round and
round il in an ever-decreasing circle. The
brd is much perplexed by this conduct and,
instead Of flying AWAY. il crouches closely to the
ground. By degrees the young hunter-this
sport being only practiced by boys-comes SO
close TO the bird as to be able to slip the moose
over its head. jerking it into the air. An expert
lird catcher will secure three four birds in an
hour nv this curious method. which NAV be
pursued on foot well on horseback. How
ever, the sport can only be continued during

could be readily conveyed away and trans
ported. So extensive was the counterfeiting
OF certain issues printed by Hoyer 4 Ludwig
Of Richmond that the treasury was obliged to
recall them. Subsequently this firm obtained
. government contract for another piece Of
work, but stipulation was made that they
should not put their name on the notes. be-
cause any paper money bearing it had come to
be discredited. There was painful irony in
the circumstance that the counterfeits were
largely circulated by spectators in tbs
north, who employed them to purchase from
southernefs fhe cotton which was almost the
only capital the latter had. So great was tho
harm inflicted by the circulation of these coun-
terfeits that IL was seriously proposed TO infict
the penalty of death upon any one who was
convicted of making or passing them.

WORTHLESS CHECKS.
This was almost the last money left in the
treasury OF the rebellion. The other check was
for $500, 0O0 to be paid in certificates at thirty
days. Before these certificates matured the
confederacy was no moro. The stubs of the
checks relate pitiful tale Of the straits to
which the government was put for money at
that period. Some creditors would insist upon
cash, and they were accommodated with
small amounts in specie, granting a big dis
count for 1t. If the currency itself was depre-
ciated treasury checks payable in confederate
notes n: thirty or sixty days were hardly worth
the paper they were written on. 1t must have
teen a noble thing to see with what sang frod
the quarternlaster general would liquidate off,
hand a claim for few hundred thousand dol
lars by writing check for it. when there were
not as many pennies in tho vaults The nav roll
OF his Office for March. 1865, called for s9Ol. 49,
but evidently the check to cover it was never
issued. because across the stub is written Not
used, but destroyed" Probably the clerks were
paid of in specie, and were thus enabled to
get square meal without paving a whole
months salary for it. At that time the Union
forced were closing in on Lee and weitzel was
pounding away at Richmond The last check
made out in the book is No. 70, dated April 4.
1865. 1t was drawn to the order Of the Western
North Carolina railway for S34, 478 The two
remaining checks on the same sheet were nuno
bered, but left untitled, SO that one can easily
imagine how a shell falling in the neiehborhood
OF the Office caused the official in charge of the
check book to consider that there was no mar.
ticular use IN writing any more checks for
money which could meyer BY any possibility be
paid. RENE BAcHx.

WHOLE NUMBER 1894

Bert Landphere, young man "a
years of age, living at Coolies, has been
quite i'll, and since convalescence has
exhibited strong symptoms of insanity,
last week becoming so violent that
on Wednesday he was brought by De-
puty-sheritf Young to our county Jail
for safe keeping, his mother petitioning
for his application to the insane asy-
lum. The necessary papers had been
made out, when his brother appeared
on the scene, asserting that he was con-
tident of being able to manage the pa
tient Sheriff Thomas reluctantly re-
leased him, and the two brothers start
ed on their return TO Coolies. Having
occasion to go to that village the same
day, Sheriff Thomas found the self ap-
pointed guardian vainly trying to coax
his brother onward, while the latter sat
stubbornly by the roadside and refused
to bulge; after protracted urging, it
became evident that he must be placed
in confinement, so he was brought back
here and taken to Kalamazoo on Fri
day. As the alteration is the result of
la grippe, it is hoped he will ultimately
recover.

On the List.

1t will be remembered that few
weeks since our school was visited by
an examining Board from the State
University, with view to placing it on
diploma relations with that college,
and Supt. Wilson informs us that he is
in receipt of notice from Pres Angel
that the Paw Paw Union School has
been placed upon the list for all courses;
viz, A. b Phi b., b. S., and b. L.
The complete list of schools in the
state holding such relations includes
Ann Arbor, Battle Creek, Bay City,
Charlotte, Coldwater, Detroit, Flint,
Grand Rapids, Ionia, jackson, Manis-
tee, Marquette, Monroe, Saginaw, Port
Huron, Pontiac, and Ypsilanti. From
the foregoing names, it will be seen
that our school is thus placed on foot
ing with all the large schools of the
state, and that the enviable reputation
we have gained in the past will thus be
greatly augmented in the future.
This is a move long contemplated,
and it is due to the energy of Supt,
Wilson that it has at length been con-
summated
That our graduates can now enter
the University without examination,
will give us quite an advantage over the
other schools of the county, inasmuch
as diploma from Paw Paw will now
bring added honors to its recipient.
