The Destructive Jaekdaw.

In gentleman's park in the county
of Durham, says an English writer, a
number of pheasants are reared every
year. The keeper. on going to feed
them, was surprised to find the bodies
of four of the young pheasants lying ON
the grass outside of the coops without
heads. He made careful search for ver-
min, such as rats or weazels, but with
out effect. He left the dead pheasants
for awhile, and on his return found a
considerable number more disposed OF
in the same way. He was quite puzzled
and resolved to seek assistance. Fully
20 young ones were disposed Of, all in
the same way. After watching con.
siderable time pair Of japkdaws made
their appearance and were not long IN
commencing their raid on the young
ones again. They quietly dragged them
out from below the hens and pulled
their heads of and carried them Ia a
clump Of trees, where they had their
nest with young ones, and fed them with
the heads. As soon as the keeper wa
satisfied that the jackdaws were the de-
linquents he shot them,

An old shoe containing six diamond
rings and brooch set with diamonds,
valued in all at $400, was given away,
with its mate, TO poorly dressed young
man few days ago. and now the Ger
mantown police are looking for the
man, the shoe and its contents. Mrs.
Walter Leonard of Germantown was
called to the door by tramp, who ask
ed for a pair of old shoes or some dis
carded mems clothing. She told the
man to return later, when her husband
would be home, The visitor called at
the time set, and Mr., Leonard went to
one of the upper rooms and took from
one Of the closets two pairs Of trousers
and two pairs of shoes aud gave thom
to the visitor,
About a half hour later 1t dawned
upon Mrs. Leonard that she had placed
a portion of her jewelry in an old shoe
belonging to her husband, and she went
up stairs to ascertain if he had given
the shoe away. She looked in the closet
and found the shoe had disappeared.
Her husband started in pursuit Of the
man, but was unable to find him. The
jewelry had long been in the possession
of the family. The Leonards are said b
have had some experience with burglars
and had adopted this plan of checkmat-

The Il. M. C.'s OF Louisiana.

The initials T. NJ G. have no longer
any meaning, and may even puzzle
some of the younger generation. They
were once attached, as an lndellble
stigma, to the names of people other
wise respectable, whose parentage was
notimmaculately white. Wherever one
of these names had to be Written-in q
deed of conveyance, marriage license,
a certificate Of birth or death, even in q
newspaper report-the fatal T. NJ. g..
must be appended, putting the fact on
record that the bearer of that name was
a free man of color" Many a high
toned, educated man has WINGED under
this unavoidable atfrOnt. There was no
remedy; it was the law-d1trG ter, Sed ler.
The status of the colored man must
be clearly defined; freeman, he had
certain rights which must be pro-
tected; yet it would not 90 to leave
flaw through which he or his children
might afterwards claim equality With
his betters. The peculiar position of
the f. NJ C's Of Louisiana presents a
chapter of history which is of curious
interest to the student. In the ante
belium days there we're, no doubt, free
people Of color in all parts of the Union !;
but in no other slavenolding state
were they ever so numerous as in
neutrality-suspicious. in the city of
New Orleans-nor did they occupy the
same peculiar status IL the social body.
The colored people in New Orleans
were divided into classes between
which the line was drawn far more dis
tinctly than any that existed among the
whites. Degrees of color had nothing
to do with these divisioDs.-LippjncoHs.

"A Novelty in Counterfeit Coin.

There has lately been very wide
circulation Of counterfeit coin in Ameri-
can cities, notably in New York, where
the conductors on the street railway
cars are said to have had spurious
dollars, half dollars, quarters, dimes and
five cent pieces returned to them by the
management Of the line, to make good,
in unprecedented quantities. In some
cases the amount refunded by the con-
ductorin one day has reached to 81 or S..
There appears to have been similar
activity on the part Of countfeiters in
the city of Berlin, where q singular fact
has come to light. It appears that g.
German coiner has succeeded in putting
into circulation throughout the city a
large number Of l-mark pieces, which
have the peculiarly of being actually Of
more value, regarded as silver coins,
than the genuine mark pieces issued by
the state. Their color, their ring"
and their stamping are all so like the
real article that only q very pT2cticed
eye can detect them. Their only faults
are that they feel little greasy, and
that the edges Of the letters in their in
scriptions are not quite so precisely
finished as those on the genuine coins.
The remarkable thing about them is
that while the real mark equal to
twenty-five cents is, in the present
state Of the silver market, only thirty
five pfennigs, the imitation marks are
each worth forty pfennigs.
