A Case of Mistaken Identity. From the Chicago Post.]

Tt was this way: While I was military governor of Kentucky a disturbance occurred in some town in the interior. was in another. There was no train, no saddle horse, no buggy or carriage. The only sort of vehicle available was big giided circus chariot left by some stranded show company. I didn't like 1t, hut there was nothing else, and in got. cut g great dash as I drove through the small town. People turned out in droves to see me pass. When left the town behind and reached the plantations the negroes saw me and stared with open mouths. They followed me. keeping at some distance, for they had never seen such splendid vehicle. They kept on till after & while they were joined by all old white-haired preacher who, on see- ing me. and my gilded ehariat. raised his arms on high and his eyes, too, and with voice that stirred all within hearing cried:

 TAIL DOCKING FROHIBITED,

Provisions of a New Law Enacted In Massa-
 ehusetts. -.i / ---~---
 Enquirer is informed that the prac- tiee of docking horses is now prohibited in Massachusetts; The Springfield Re- publican says on'4he subject in re- cent issue:
 The legislature of Massachusetts has passed a stringent law against the practice of docking haraes. It was approved by Governor Greenhalga June 9. The important sections are as fol- lows: " ,e
 Section 1. Whoever cuts the bone of the tail of any horse for the purpose of docking the tail, ob whoever causes or knowingly permits it to be done upon the premises of which he is owner, lessee proprietor, or user, or whoever assists in or is present at such cutting shall bepunished by imprisonment in the jail not exceeding one year or by fine of not less than 3100 nor more than $300 "',
 Section 2. If horse is found with it's tail so out and with the wound result ing from such cutting unhealed, upon the premises of any person, such facts shall be prima faoie evidence that the person who occupies or has the use of the premises on which such horse is found has committed the offense des- cribed in section l..
 Section 8. If horse is found with his tail so cut and with the wound result ing from such cutting unhealed, in charge or custody of any person, such facts shall be prima facie evidence that the person having the charge or GUS tody of such horse has committed the offense charged in section ].
 This ought to make it difficult to dock horse within the borders of the state. but 1t cannot restore horses to their original condition, nor will it pre- vent the taking of horses outside of the state to be docked. But it is something to have Massachusetts declare against this barbarism and to insist that ii cannot be perpetrated within her Der ders

NOT WUfT THEFT SEElf,

II Is possible that there may he some played toward missionaries in China lt Is possible that all the missionaries In "hlna are Hot wholly engaged in serv- ing thc.r Cdi hy inducing tho Chinese to forsake their gods. Maklima Saishi a Jarsnc?c traveller who has just lin- ia..i.d t3u" through China, snys that Elasy uf tie foreign !ropagandists of cligion In the Interior of China are not what thcy profess to be. There are more than one thousand two hundred 0: thesc missionaries. Those sent from America are true preachers of the gos- pei and nothing else. But of those from Russia and France, Mir. Makaiima ayers, many are really military men who take no interest in the propagation of their religion, but are ''busily en- gagged in geographical studies with special reference to military opera tions." That is to say they are simply spies, disguised as missionaries.
 If MT. Mnkajima has seen clearly what he has seen explains why there is suspicion of missionaries even among the well-educated Chinamen who would not be controlled by blind superstition. There could be no meaner kind of spy ing than that done under the gllise of religion, and if such work is done in China no wonder 1t is resented. IL ought to be. It is unfortunate for the mis- sionares from this country that they must be harmed by the hypocrisy of the missionary spies, and Mir. Makajima pays them deserved compliment when he says they are true preachers of the gospel and nothing else.

4 GAS MOTOR FOR STREET CHRIS.


 Not all the inventors who are dealing with the street car problem are con- fining themselves to electricity as mo- tive power. Compressed air is receiving attention. Compressed air has just been applied to q railroad in Wcstfeld, Massachusetts. In England gas mol tor for street railroads is about to be tested on a regular line. The motor, which is driven by compressed gas, is placed under tho cnp together with three cylindrical gas-holders. The ma- chinery occupies the space under one of the seats of the car, while one of the gas- holders is carried under the opposite seat, the other two holders being placed transvcrsely under the car-framing. The three reservoirs will hold g stuff cient supply of gas to serve for an eight-mils run. The car is about eighteen feet long and, with the machinery, weighs five and half tons; it is driven from either end. The motor has slow and quick speed, but the latter cannot exceed eight miles an holrAthe maximum speed allowsd by the English Board of Trade. The ignition of the charge in the motor cylinders is effected by elee- tricity, and the cylinders exhaust into a

h those localities the levy was shil; ling,
 "But In southern New Jersey. south. ern Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and other border states, if you said shilling people wouldn't know what you meant, They called it levy. Fur ther south q levy bscams q bit, and the ap was a picayuns, This was especial Iy the case at and about New Orleans, and this nomenclature was carried up the Mississippi river by the popular means of communication In those days, the steamhast, to Rock Island, ppT buque, Galena, St, Paul, and other riy- CT points.
 In the same way the terms were car ried from New Orleans up tho Missis' sipppi river as far as the white people had pushed their way. up the Ohio to Louisville and above. and even up tho Illinois river to Peoria and Peru, and they took root in California when the Pacific coast was settled by people from the east. In the west it was easy to tell from what part of the country a man had emigrated, according to the way he handled the names of the coins 1T be said levy he was sure not to be from the New England states, New York, northern New Jersey or northern Pennsylvania.
 "These Spanish coins must have been circulated many years, for they were generally worn very smooth. Some Of them were SO smooth, in fact, that they would not pass current. The rule was that If the pillars on them could be plainly seen the coins were all right, l have seen fps that were so smooth and thin that they resembled nothing more closely than a shad scale. and leves that had been so long in use that they were like smooth circles.
 Tn some parts of the country, nota- bly in the southwest, the fps and levies were rated even with the five and ten cent pieces, but In the east, and par- | tlcularly In Philadelphia and the Quak- CT country about 1t. the people wouldn't have It that way, They insisted that eight leyies made dollar. while 1t re- quired ten ten cent pieces to make a dollar, Hence, if the levy had been recognized on par with the dime, the frugal Philadelphian argued that he was out just twenty-five cents on every deal of that kind. Then, again, twen- ty-five cent pieces had to be got togeth- CT before man had dollar. whereas he only had to accumulate sixteen fips to have the same amount. This was because the levy was valued at 1ak cents and the ftp at 6k cents, The same rule existed among those who called the levy shilling.
 Down south, however. there was more fiexibility in the rule of value of these coins. and they were passed for either their face value or as dimes and half dimes This was owing to the con- l tempt and indifference with which the aoutherners of that day regarded small coins. They held pennies especially in contempt. Back in the early flfties a Vieksburg gentleman told me how the people of that town scnrned to take pennies in change at the postoffice, and brushed them contemptuously off the counter to the floor, from which even the 'niggers. wouldn't oondesoend to pick them.
 "Those old Spanish pieces. worn as they might be,contained more pure sil= yer than the newest of our own coins, and one of them would be great ouriosity to-day"
