Pahalna confsderate Monsy.

II seems strange that more than 20
years after the cllyl war and with the
confederate states Of America only a
memory. every now and then some
one turns up with a confederate bill
and finds no dlalculty In passing it.
No properly Informed person needs to
be told that such bills represent the
value only of the paper on which they
are printed. and as the quality Of the
material then obtainahle was not Of
the best that value may be counted as
a negligible quantity, It is astonish-
ing that anyone can be deceived In
this way. for the confederate notes in
their best estate are so widely differ
ent and so inferior IN appearance com
pared to any Of he currency Of the
present time that suspicion should be
aroused in the mind Of the least wary.
Yet the bills pass. Not so very many
years ago one Of large denomination
was received and change given for it
by a business establishment In this To-
cality, says the Troy IN. " Times.
A few days since down the river a
500 confederate nste was offered in
payment Of a purchase, and the seller
did not discover the truth until he
took the bill to his bank. There must
be considerable confederate money in
existence, for It was very cheap after
Appamattox and thousands Of bills
were carried home by union veterans
as souvenirs. But no one need be
fooled by dishonest use Of the worth
less paper IL he viii take the trouble
to read the inscription in big lettering
which tells how the Confederate
States Of America promise to pay
something they never can pay.
