a fac-simile Of Chinese Treasury note Of
the year 1867, probably the oldest piece
Of paper money in existance This note
was found last January, along with
other valuables, in a bronze statue Of
Buddha which stood in n temple within
the inclosure OF a summer palace Of the
Dowager Empress OF China. italian
soldiers engaged in looting broke a hole
III the base Of the figure and the paper
money tumbled out along with gold. sill

prayers, etc. The note was issued, ac-
cording to the printing on it, "by the
Board Of Revenue of the Emperor Hung

stated to be 1850 taels" about SGD.

Besides being the oldest known piece of
paper money, this treasury note makes
it clear that Gutenberg was not the first
user of movable type at date over a
hundred years before Gutenburg began
to experiment The German printer was
born in 1910, long after the use of NOV

rauuuisr Claims Youngest Confederate

Fauouier can boast OF having within
it's borders, a gentleman, who perhaps
was the youngest Confederate at the time
of his enlistment. The subject of this
brief sketch is ]. II. McCabe, Mary
lander by birth, a Yirginis by adoption,
and one of whom the old mother State
can well feel proud. Young McCabe en-
listed in Breathed's battery, which be-
longed to Stuart's Horse Artillery. He
was IL years old in November, 1861,
and the February following he east his
fortune with the Coniederacy. At the
time of his enlistment, his home was in
Baltimore. The oldest Of twenty-one re-
cruits, including himself, whoenlisted at
the same time, was 16 years. Mr.. Me-
Cabe is now large land owner and one
of the most progressive farmers in Fau-
ouier. He relates an interesting incident
which occurred at Louisa, in which a
Federal battery was captured and the
gunners were made to turn it on their
own comrades, which aided greatly in
their complete rout.
