the Blue Ridge or the Alleghanies. SO
full of dangers from savages and wild
beasts and so full OF natural difficult
ties was the passage Of these terrible
heights that Governor spotswood, set

the expedition as SO hazardous that he
took with him guard of soldiers,
gentlemen and pioneers" armed and
carrying provisions. These scaled the
pass with great hardships and perils
and returned after the governor had
cut the name of King George In the
rocks on the highest peak.
He then constituted the society. or
order. of the Golden Horseshoe. Each
man who had scaled this high pass was
made member of it, and to each one
he presented golden horseshoe On

A Martyr to Liberty.

The news that Madame Bresh-
kovskaya, "the grandmother OF the Rus
sian revolution" has been sentenced to
eighteen months solitary confinement in
Siberia, for attempting to escape, will
not be meaningless in Boston. Three
score years of hardship and prison have
apparently not quelled the ardor and the
enthusiasm with which she instilled
every nearer on her visit here ten years
ago.
Born OF noble family, she stands out
even in the long roll of martyrs in the
cause of freedom She was the first
girl ever sent to Siberia i'm the early

been freed, and revolution" was almost
undreamt OF. George KEENAN, saw her
thirty years ago in exile. He found her
with strong, intelligent and handsome
face, frank, and unreserved manner,
and sympathies that seemed TO be warm,
impulsive and generous. Her face bore
traces OF much suffering. Her thick,
wayy hair was streaked with gray, but
neither hardship nor exile nor penal
seryitude had been able to break her
brave. finely tempered spirit. or to shake

ingly she returned to Russia, to certain
imprisonment, to continue the fight for
the cause to which she had consecrated
her life. She was sent to Siberia-again

TALE OF A TIGHTWAD.
Every Man Should Take to Heart the
Moral II Points.

MOTdi ~ TuiHtn.
We once knew man who was too
stingy TO take the newspaper In bis
home town and always went over to
borrow his neighbor's paper.
One evening he sent his son over to
borrow the paper, and while the son
was on the way he ran into large
stand of bees. and in few minutes his
face looked like summer squash
Hearing the agonized cries of the
son, the father ran to his assistance
and in doing so ran into a barbed wire
fence, cutting a handful of flesh from
his anatomy and running 81 pair of
trousers.
The old cow took advantage of the
hole in the fence, got into the cornfield
and killed herself eating green corn
Hearing the racket. the stingy mans
wife ran out of the house, upsetting a
four gallon churn full OF cream into a
basket of kittens. drowning the whole
flock. She slipped on the cream and
fell downstairs, breaking her leg and
$40 set of false teeth. The baby,
left alone. crawled through the spilled
cream into the parlor and ruined a $40
parlor carpet During the excitement
the daughter eloped with the hired
man. taking the family savings bank
with them
The moral is that every man should
be subscriber to his home newspaper.

CoINERS' PLANT RAIDED.
Poor limitations Were Found in Boston
House.

| Boston, Feb. ELEVEN men were ar
rested, $40 counterfeit half-dollars were
seized and a complete counterfeiting
plant was confiscated by the Boston po-
| lice and officers OF the United States
secret service on Saturday and Sunday
| in the north and west ends of the city.
The roundup of the gang is the most
complete that has been made in similar
case in many years and includes at least
two of the cleverest operators in the
country.
Though the local secret service men
will not confirm the statement, it is re-
ported that the two leaders are wanted
in New York, Philadelphia and several
other large cities for passing imitation
50-cent pieces. About three sfeeks ago
the men are said to have operated in
Lynn, where hundreds of dollars in the
counterfeit pieces were passed.
1t is believed that about $500 worth
of imitation, 1000 coins, were manufac-
tured in Boston and that more than
three quarters Of the manufacture was
showed in this city. The most of
the "stuff" was passed on newsboys,
small stores and street vendors. 1t was
through newsboy at the North station
that the police first got line on one
member of the gang, which led to the
capture of the others.
Those arrested are Nicholas Venutt,
10 years p Sheafe street; Salvatore Ginf-
FIRE. Is years, 43 Norman street; Robert
BeIlaino, 10 years, and his brother, Sam
uel Bellaino, IL years, both of 32 Hale
street; Anthony Chuichivolo, 10 years,
a. Hale street; Stephen Puleo, IL years,
rs South Margin street, and Cologorio
Ruino, 81 years, of f6 Bulfinch street, all
charged with passing counterfeit money;
Guissepi Viola, % years, of New York,
who has been living at 1863 Court street,
and Giovanni Lalla, "a years, of New
York City, charged with making coun-
terfeit money. Guiseppi Pazzo, 81
years, who lives at AZ Hale street. where
it is charged the money was made, is
also under arrest. Venuti was released
BY the federal authorities. while anoth-
err prisoner who was arrested on sus
picion, was released by Capt. Kimball
of station one.
About every tool and article used in
connection with counterfeiting was found
in the raid on the Hale street house
with the exception of the mould, which
the police hope to find to-day. These
included melting pot, files, knives,
pliers, ladies', two bottles of nitrate of
silver, zinc, solder, pewter, babbitt met
al and other metal compositions which
were left after runs had been made.
They also found $40 spurious coins, rep
resenting $2S5.
The counterfeits are for the most part
poor limitations. They are much lighter
but have an excellent ring, though they
are greasy and poorly finished They
are not well milled but would pass read
