All that Russia requires is u farSight-
ed, heroic car who, compromising the
needs of today, as Peter the Great did
those of 200 years ago, shall complete
the work begun by him. commit Russia
irrevocably to occidentalism and liberal
ism and thus earn for her the sympathy
and respect instead of the jealousy and
dread of other nations. Should such a
car arise it would he wisdom Oh the
part Of Europe to allow Russia to graft
fy her two legitimate ambitions, i'll the
tLwarted, especially ly Great Britain.
These ambitions are: (l To complete
the subjugation Of the barbarous Tar
tars by annexing Turkey to her domin-
ions. and ca to possess ice free ports for
the development Of a navy and of mer-
chant shipping. While as despotic, she
ought to be thwarted in every way, as
liberal, she ought to enjoy all the rights
of lib. raj nations and be permitted to
have her own way i'll Turkey and China,
Just us England has had hers i'll Egypt
and India. A liberal Russia, with her
long cherished ambitions once satisfied,
would BIZ not only the peace keeper Of
Europe, but also IL of its most potent
uivilizing influences, eQualling, perhaps
surpassing-so gifted is her people-the
other nations in culture, humanity and
righteousness. But whether Russia is
to be blessed with a liberal ear or not
there is no reason to fear her supremacy.
II she remain coarsely despotic, it can
not last; if she become liberal. it can b.

THh'. utO STONE HOUSE

An old stone house, with It's moses gray.
Where l played in childhood, gay and free.
And dreamed many happy hours away,
Is to me a bright, sweet memory.
II stood near n creek whose hlitlcsone SONY
With dreamy music filed all the air,
As 1t rolled and danced and gam poled rlonr
Through the meadows with blooming Glove,
fair.
1t commanded n view more wide and grand
OF orchard and fcld and wood and stream
Than any fnrlnstoau in the land
That borrowssnaught from n boyish dream.
And the voices of bees and frogs and birds,
All blending i'll n strange, glad harmony
With the gentle lowing Of the browsing herds
Thrill me still us a lingering melody.
AND the faces of those who made it home.
With smiles of affection so tender and true,
! cherish most fondly wherever | roam
As the taircst sight that ever | knew.
Oh, that old stone house, so NOISY and gray,
With all that it was and once cn-lrined,
Has chcercd for me oft life's rugged way
As | called its vanished charms to mind.

SEVEN FOR FIVE.
OLD MONEY SWlNDLlNG SCHEME
BEING REVIVED.

BANKS ARE ON THE LOOKOUT
FOR THE PASTED $5 BILLS, AND
THE PUBLIC is WARNED BY A
BANK OFFICIAL TO BE WATCH
FUL.
Several banks of this city have re-
ceived warning from the United States
Treasury officials to be on the lookout
for five-dollar bills which have been
pasted together 50 as to make seven
notes out of six for the purpose of IIe-
demption. The scheme is an old one,
and has been worked successfully in
the banks of this and other cities dur
ing the holidays. There are numerous
tricks to defraud the banks, and the
officials are always on the alert for
them.
The scheme is simple. Six of the
notes are placed on top of each other.
One end of a note is drawn a little to
one side of the corresponding end of
the one below it, and the next note is
placed with its corresponding end the
same distance from that of the second
note as the second is from the first.
AAAfAAhb NhD HAAl vi AOiAo lhoiAlUAt lut
plan of a flight of steps. Then the pile
of notes is cut with a single sweep of a
knife. Two of the pieces left ere
three-ffths or over three-fifths of the
size of the bill, and are redeemable al
the face value OF the note. The other
pieces are pasted together in such q
way that at least three-fifths Of a note il
made up five times. But this three.
| fifths of a note is made up not of two
or more pieces of the same note, but O.
| different notes. By thus shifting tn,
pieces they are made to represent fv,
notes beside the two pieces which ar
already three-fifts or more each of tn,
original notes.
These seven notes, so neatly pasted
are readily passed off on unsuspectinl
shop-keepers, who in turn deposi
them in the banks. The banks sen,
them to the Treasury for redemption
and are dismayed to discover that Their
is enough of a single piece of a not
intact. in the composition Of one o
the newly-made notes. to warrant tn
payment to them of $3.50 instead O
the 50 which three-fifths of the not
would be worth.
An Evening Journal man called thi
morning on J. N. Carswell, cashier q
the Farmers Bank, at Third and Mar
ket stresIts, and asked il the bank ha
met with any of the pasted bills. Cash
ier Carswell said that none had Shove
up as yet. I'VE met with some sever
years ago, and the tricks may be r,
vived. The public should be warned
he said.
