DYKES MONEY.
How the First Catch of Confederate
Money Was Made.

How the First Catch of Confederate
Money Was Made.
1t took money to carry on war.
The Southern Confederacy started
to oppose the invading foes with an
empty treasury. Soa promise to pay
had to be resOrted to.
One Of the first things to be done
by the treasury of the young nation
was to issue legai tender of some kind.
The making Of Confederate bonds and
notes was a great trial with the young
treasury. In the South no engrayer
could be found, and nothing like good
bank paper.
So arrangements were made to print
some bonds in New York. The work
was gone about very carefully and every
means used to avoid detection. But the
bonds were seized, however, before they
left New York. These bonds were print
ed by the American Bank Note Company,
and when the Federal authorities found
this out through tell-tale emplOye the
Southern Confederacy had to rely upon
its own resources to get up bonds and
notes.
An engraver of cards and posters by
the name of HOyer, a German, by ma
tionality, lived in Richmond, and he
was employed to issue the first notes,
which were eight 500 bills. One Of
these bills would bring considerable now
as a relic.
A paper was smuggled through the
lines from New York and given to Hoy
er. He had only old and inferior stones
for engraving purposes and with them
he made the first Confederate treasury
notes. The stones had previously beer
used to engrave placards.
OF course they were faulty and full
of errors, and under any other circum
stances would have been thrown away
but some kind Of legal tender had to b
secured as once, and the rude note
we're accepted.
When the secretary read the proof
, he ordered them printed, endorsing o
, the margin Of the proof the following
"When the money changers becom
familiar with these incoming bills
; will be as difficult to pass counte
felt as if they had been engraved Q
steel perhaps more so."
The German engrayer used what WI
y an old fashioned press even in that da
y and the bills were printed by hand,
= very slow and tedious process.
. These rude, uncOuth bills found
buyers, but were accepted in good fai
by loyal Southern hearts. They we

HI. HENRY.


rvs Company Monday evening was fav-
ored with very large and appreciatiye
audience, six or seven hundred persons
being present. His troupe is large, well
equipped, well drilled and Of unusual
variety and talent. That it is the best Of
its kind now before the public would
probably not be giving them more praise
than is deserved. We take the more
pl easure in giving them this compliment
because of the personal character and
gentlemanly conduct of Mr.. Henry and
his company.
The playing of the orchestra was ex-
cellent and could not we'll be too highly
praised. There were several very fine
vocalists and we regretted that we could
not hear more from them. The dancing
was elegant and the athletic exhibition
was sufficiently unique and skillful to
satisfy the demands Of the most exacting
critic. The program was in sufficient
variety to furnish something for all
classes of pleasure seekers and there was
little in the performances Of the i'm
itators of the cOlOred gentry to which one
need make objection. "Around the world
in ten minutes" series OF views with
thes tereopticOn made an interesting in
terlude between the parts of the concert.
Mr.. Henry played cornet solo with his
usual artistic skill.
Notwithstanding the general excellence
of the concert we feel moved to make one
or two suggestions and we do it witt
great hesitancy because "what we dom
know about the conduct Of minstrel con
certs would make very large book,
while Mr.. Henry has attained almost {
national reputation in that line, but w
remember that even wayfaring maj
looking from different point Of visiOl
may sometimes discover defects and sug
gest methods Of improvement that hav
escaped the eye of even an artist.
AS we listened to the concert the fol
lowing criticisms occurred to us
That the time given to the "cOlOre
gentry" was slightly in excess.
That two violin solos with orchestra
accompaniment would have been al
3 agreeable addition.
That two to four vocal selections, ser
7 iOus or comic, probably both, with SON
of the sentiment and the ''darkey" a
7 well, left out, would have made anothe
: pleasant addition.
, That another cOrnet solo and one O.
the trombone by some of those beautifu
g players would have lent still greater in
1 terest to the program.
1 To make room for the above we wOul
reduce the time or numbers Of the mir
strels proper, which we think would NJ
: have diminished the enjoyment of an
e and would add very much to the enjO!
J, ment of the more cultivated portion {
4 the audience. The boys might not chez
v quite so yOciferOusly but the real succe'
of a concert cannot be so well estimate
g by the 'encores" as by the pleasurab
: memories left with the more cultivate
IS portion Of the audience.
n There can be no doubt that Mr.. Hem
y has acquired such reputation as wi
n secure him good audience whenever
chooses to visit Wellington, but it
II equally certain thatalittle change in Il
n- lines indicated would be very grateful
y, to majority of his most appreciate
be listeners.
