making shipments as rapidly as the
cars can be loaded. Good prices
are being paid, and it seems that

a CHECK swINpLER.
Mr.. j. w. Batcman Made the Victim OF
Pronounced Check Forgery.

Carr Monterey, VINO was III Town
several days last week proposing tod
give lessons in painting portraits,
left the town very suddenly after
he had succeeded in swindling Mr..
j. w. Bateman by means Of a forged
check. 1t seems that there was a
well-planned scheme on foot to re-
lieye some Of our business men OF
as much as they would willingly
part with for worthless paper.
On Monday evening of last week
j. A. Hall, son Of Mr.. A. r. Hall, of
Dyersburgh, and who claimed to be
night-watchman at Hollow Rock
junction, went to the store Of Mr..
James J. WHY and purchased dry
goods to the amount of $12 He
presented in payment for the goods
check for $50, bearing the sigma
ture Of Mr.. A. r. Hall. Mr.. WHY
at once recognized it as a glazing
forgery, and refused to accept it.
After a few words Hall went away.
Monterey, who was present during
the discussion of the worthless pa
per, asked some questions Of Mr..
WHY concerning the check, and
left the store,
On Tuesday, the day following,
Monterey waited until after bank
ing hours and then approached Mr..
Bateman with the identical check
offered Mr.. WHY the evening pre-
vious. While he did not recognize
the signature, Mr.. Bateraan knew
Mr. Hall to be prominent in the
banking and commercial interests
at Dyersburgh, and he had observ-
ed Monterey Cor Montgomery, ac-
cording to the Endorsement on the
check about town for several days
who claimed to be we'll connected
at Union City and conducted him
self in a manner becoming gen.
tleman, SO he did not hesitate to
cash the check.
When the check was presented
at the bank at Dyersburgh it was
pronounced forgery and went tc
protest. In reply to a letter Mr.
A. r. Hall informed Mr.. Batemar
that his son, James A. Hall, who
first presented the check to Mr.
WHY, had only recently escaped
from the insane asylum, where hi
has been confined for the past three
years, and the officials of the asylum
are now trying to locate him. Boil
Monterey and Hall have entirely
|, disappeared
The suave swindler with worth
, less check is making victims in al
parts of the country, and no admo
milton is perhaps more worthy o
remembrance and observance thai
the recent warning to merchants o
the Clothiers' and Haberdashers
; Weekly, Of New York, not to casl
checks for strangers. More mer

| that way than in any other. TIL

Climbing and Swimming Rabbits.

On the continent of Australia the
rabbits, by force of circumstances, are
obliged to modify their mode of life.
These animals are often observed to
climb trees in search of food when they
cannot obtain it on the ground. At
recent session of the Geological Society
of London, Mr. Tegetmeier exhibited
the forepaws of one of these Australian
rabbits, which were seen to be adapted
to this new mode of locomotion. 1t is
found, in the first place, that they are
more slender than those of the English
wild rabbit. Their color is paler and
the spots are dark. Besides, their
claws are sharper and slenderer.
In the Australian rabbits differences
have also been observed in the manner
of raising their young. Thus, in GER
tain localities, we find their ordinary
seats, but in others the litter is placed
upon the ground, without any cover
ing. In summer they sometimes enter
the water, with only their heads pro-
jecting above the surface. When they
are pursued, during their migra-
tions, they swim exceedingly well and
cross the wide rivers with ease

cit has passed into proverb that
racing is the sport of kings; it can with
truth be stated" declares Outing ''that
trotting is the international equine
sport of the American people. 1t is
true that in New York, Chicago and q
few Southern cities the thoroughbred
fourishes while the trotter does not,
but throughout the balance of the
country and in the Dominion of Canada.
trotting and its relative gait, pacing,
provide the popular and universal sport.
1t is natural that it should be so, for
while it gratifies that love for equine
contests which is leading character
istic of the Anglo-Saxon race, it also
appeals to the patriotism and the utili-
tarianism of the American nature. The
trotter is an American production. He
is grand and distinct type or branch
of the equine family. By the applica-
ton of the laws of selection, training
and development, the American breeder
has evolved perfect trotting race as
superior to its original crude elements
as the thoroughbred of to-day is to the
parent horse of the desert.

From an Unpublished Autograph
Narrative by Washington, in Scrib-
ner's Magazine, we quote as follows;
1t was conceived that our party was
yielding the ground, upon which G.
w. with permission of the General,
called (per dispatch) for volunteers and
Immediately marched at their head, to
sustain, as was conjectured, the retir-
ing troops. Led on by the firing till
he came within less than half mile,
and it ceasing, he detached scouts to
investigate the cause, and to commu-
nicate his apprach to his friend Col
onel Mercer, advancing slowly in the
meantime. But it being near dusk,
and the intelligence not having been
fully disseminated among Colonel Mer-
GERS corps, and they taking us for the
enemy who had retreated approaching
in another direction, commenced a
heavy fire upon the relieving party
which drew fire in return in spite of
all the exertions of the officers, one of
whom, and several privates were killed
and many wounded before stop could
be put to it, to accomplish which G.
w. never was in more imminent danger,
by being between two fires, knocking
up with his sword the presented pieces.

At this time of year, when every
body is fretting about letters of credit
and oil the other makeshifts to avoid
penury in foreign land, it occurs to
the mind unskilled in questions of
finance to wonder why we cannot have
one single international coin, which
would be good wherever it is spent,
says Kate Fields Washington. An en-
tire National currency is a boon re-
served for our grandchildren, but a
single gold coin of the value say of So
and half would be an immense con-
venience to travellers. A moderate
sum in such coins would not be bur-
densome, and before leaving each coun-
try the National currency could be ex-
changed into them at the hotel office
or the nearest shop without any fuss
and feathers whatever. Multiples of
such coin, to the extent of a hundred
or more, would be easily portable, and
fractions of it would not be large
enough to cause serious embarrassment
to most travellers The amount OF
time and trouble which a single inter
national coin would save is almost in.
calculable.

Visitors to the Columbian Worlds
Fair at Chicago will find 500 guides
ready to do their bidding at an expense
of fifty or seventy-five cents an hour.
Guides for parties of five or fewer per-
sons will be charged for at the rate of
fifty cents, and, from five up, seventy
five cents an hour. The business of
the guide is not going to be profitable,
as the salaries paid will not be greater
than $50 month. The educational
advantages are expected to compensate
for the small wages. There are to be
twenty-five women guides. Mrs. Pot
ter Palmer thought that unescorted
women would be in need of the services
of guide, and in Difference to her
wishes appointments will be made.
The information givers are to be formed
into an organized and officered corps.
There will be at least five companies
under the command of sergeants The
first sergeants will be paid $50 u month,
there being five of them. There will
be twenty second sergeants, with sal
aries of $40 a month. The grounds
will be divided into districts, There
are district headquarters where visitors
may apply for the services of guides.

The Ancient Name Of Great Britain.

The Oldest form of the name Britain
is Ortanis, from which comes the adj
jective Ortanicos, which in Irish is
Cruitnech. This last is the name which
the Irish gave to the Picts, once mas
ters of Great Britain. The adjective
mentioned became in the language of
the Gauls Pretanicos. Pytheas, the
Greek navigator of Marseilles. who
hourished about the time of Alexander
the Great, and is said to have made a
voyage to Britain, in one of his few
fragments now extant calls Great Bri-
tain the Pretanic Island. A century
after Pytheas, Gallo people the
Britanni-drove the Picts out of the
larger portion of Great Britain, and
established themselves there. From
this came confusion in the minds of
Greek geographers between the name
of the conquerors and that of the con
quered island. Out of this confusion
arose various and mixed forms. The
Pretanic Island became Rretannic, and
then Britannia, which form b. nma
fixed, and has come down 10 us--
