the most important this week was the sudden

be constructs as requiring the collection Of
A tax of 2 cents per 500 par value on all
.tooks Intoxicated in loans n also
unon .ubstitutions in loans. The latest
sdyiccs from Washington are, that the
commissioner will refrain from endeavor-
ing 10 collect this tax pending a decision
by the courts regarding 1t or action by
Congress repeating this most unwise and
unfortunate legislation. Railway ratio re-

smn,v exclaimed by severe weather which
has hampered the operations OF the rail-

and by the prospects hat American manu-
facturers will have 10 import considerable

MANUFACTURES is identical in quality and
gauge with that used at the United States
mints, so chemical analysis is of no value.
Even the Treasury men themselves are
often misled. Persons in a position to
know say that goodly amount of honest
coin is each year chopped, acidized, or
otherwise mutilated in their jealous eff
forts to establish it's genuineness.
Be that as lit may. the fact remains
that one per cent of the pennies in cir
culation are spurious. The Bowery. for
example, far Ontciasses all other New
York districts in this respect, being only
excelled by Coney Island when the season
is on. where the percentage of spurious
pennies Is often two per cent. of the
gross.
What is probably the finest counterfeit
cent ever made is very much in Circula-
ton at the present time. It is All excel
lent imitation in all respects otherwise
than the nose of the Indian, which is de-
cidedly aquiline and typical, while the
redskin OH the genuine coin is almost
Greek in prO6le-a fact which argues
that the artist who drew the counterfeit
presentment knew more OF Poor Lo than
did the man who designed the original.
1t is curious to think what will happen IL
any counterfeiter ever exactly initiates
the dies used in the mints. Should this
ever occur, it seems more than likely the
Government output of these smallest of
our coins must cease.

his wound. There was no Sixteenth Corps
at the time of the battle of Corinth-not
until December, 1862. Again, there were
no colored troops in the battle, as the Gov
ernment did not enlist nor accept colored
troops until July, 1868. Gen. Mower did
not command division in the battle. He
was Colonel of the 18th Mo-, a No. l reg

! Capt. J. G.. Green, I'd Art
Think of it; 1901 A time when most
of the veterans Of the civil war werC
yet unborn. Our old muzzle-loading
Springfields have been obsolete for nearly
80 years, but here is man who was
armed with the smooth-bOre fint-lock
musket and was taught to load in IL
times" part of which included 'open
pan," prime" .sshut pan," and ''cast
about" whatever that may have meant.
At that time the pay of an infantry pri-
yate was 81 per month. His wool jack
et'' cost $4.79$., while that of his Ser
geant was valued at S4.S4&i. l would
like to know what made the cents diff
ference in those two jackets.
In the same book official notice is given
that ''the Communication price of the
whisky ration, to which extra duty men
of the army are entitled is hereby ad-
yanced to 3 cents" c'Three" is in italics
in the Official notice. Also, that for de-
sertion in time of peace "a soldier is liable
to suffer stripes"
1t was under these conditions that Pri-
vate Doud left Bedloe's Island, New
York. for Florida, where for a long time
he served with his company in fighting
SeminoleS, and on one occasion was slight
ly wounded.
At one time while the troops were be-
ing transported up the st. Johns River
some of the men obtained lot of ''nigger
whisky and became crazy drunk The
officer in command, Lieut. Lyon, attempt
ed to quiet the riot and was seized and
thrown overheard. A drunken soldier
seized n muSket and would certainly have
killed the officer while he was fioundering
in the water had not Private Doud, one of
the few sober men on the boat, promptly
knocked the man down, and. by his firm
action, squelched the incipient mutiny.
This officer was Gen. Lyon, who was
killed at the battle Of Wilson's Greek,
Mo, in 1861.
Mr.. Doud went with his regiment to
Mexico at the beginning of the Mexican
war. He was promoted Corporal and Ser
geant, and his warrants bear the sigma
ture of 'B. Riley, B'yt. Col, I'd Inf.," and
Ell NJ. Candy, LIST 1t. and Adjt," and
'J. w. Anderson, B'vt. Capt. and Adj't."
He participated i'll all the battles and
skirmishes of the famous "Cerro Gordo
Brigade" viz, I'd U. S. Inf, 7th U. S.
Inf, and 4th U. S. Art.
At Cerro Gordo he was severely wound
ed, which necessitated his retirement
from active service and his subsequent
discharge. In 1S49 he came to the Pa
cific Coast. Fortune favored him, and
for many years he has been one of the
SuDSthntial anu 4nohoreu cltlZcnS OF Mon
terey County. 3.t 81.
When Memorial Day was inuugurated
by the Grand Army Mr.. Doud was from
the first an ardent supporter of that day,
and his influence did much toward its
proper observance. For many years he
has been constant reader and firm
friend OF The National Tribune. His
greatest regret is that his wound kept
him from taking an active part in the war
of the rebellion. 70
