Instead of gymnastics or games, in
struments of torture were used for mod
cling the figure of the young lady OF
half century ago. A contemporary
writer says that "could the modern
schoolroom (1S31) be preserved. it
would pass for q refined inquisition.
There would be found stocks for the fin
gers (the cheiroplast and pulleys for
the neck, with weights attached"
Fanny Kemble, to whom nature had
been by no means unl<indly, was found
wanting in deportment; and she writes
that she wore a blackboard made OF
steel, covered with red morocco. which
consisted OF q fat piece placed on my
back, and strapped down to my waist
with a belt, and secured at the top by
two epaulets strapped over my shoul-
ders. From the middle of this there
rose I steel rod or spine with steel
collar. which encircled my throat, fas-
tenin9 behind" The machine proved
failure, and she was put under the tut
ton OF drill sergeant. who did for her
al that was required. Social England.

OLD COMMANDMENTS.
10 Has Been Thirty-flve Years since
They Were Pnssed

= mas Becn Thirty-nve Years since
They Were Passed.
washington. August 1S.--There were pre-
scented to the treasury department yester-
day for redemption two $1,000 7-so notes of
the issue of June Is, 1866 The persons
making the presentation were business
firm of Louisville, KY Upon examina-
ton the notes were found to be counter
feits, being part of very large issue OF
counterfeit notes which appeared In the
principal bond markets about 1865 and 1867.
The Imitation Of the genuine Is so complete
tnat many OF the principal dealers In United
States securities purchased them freely,
and only discovered that they had been
victimized when the notes were thrown out
by the authorities at Washington. The loss
to bankers and deals-x through this coun-
terfelt amounted probably to several hun
dred thousand dollars. The only marked
difference between the original and coun-
terfeit Is In the red seal The poiins sur
rounding the seal in tie genuine are broad
err more clearly defined and not so long.
There is also a slight difference in the sig
nature OF General Spinner, who was the
treasurer of the United States at the time
OF the Issue of the original notes. In the
genuine note there is nlso small spot lust
below the bar between the baskets of the
balance which the figure OF America holds
suspended.
At the secret service office 1t is said that
the plate from which these notes were
printed was captured November 81, 1867,
from w. Il. Brockway, who is now serving
term Of ten years In the Trenton, N. j..
penitentiary for counterfelting $500 gold
certificates
