The full history of the terrible border
fights in Missouri - during the civil war has
never been written; never will be. In those
fights heroes whose names are unsung held
themselves ready at any moment to take a
life or lose their own. Any day the inhabi-
tants of a village knew not what the dark-
ness of that night would bring. One day
found them at peace, with only the world’s
ordinary joys and borrows in their thoughts;
the next day might find tlleir village a smok-
ing ruin, their husbands and fathers dead or
prisoners, the women and babes homeless,
hungry wanderers, fleeing for their lives.
Many of the nlost desperate and bloody
deeds of the civil war were done in the bor-
der fight in Missouri. That they are not
know to history is because those who
wrought them were literally men of deeds in-
stead of words. They were, on both sides,
men who handled the bowie knife and the
revolver better than the pen. History knows
them very little, and only tradition keeps
record of them and their work.
From the beginning of the war there was
a desperate struggle between the Union and
Confederate governments which should hold
the state of Missouri.
It was saved to the Union by the heroism
of one man, Nathaniel Lyon. Early in 1861
he saw what was coming. Governor Clai-
borne Jackson, of Missouri, was a secession
sympathizer and desired to prevent the re-
cruiting of United States soldiers in the state.
Lyon, appointed brigadier general of United
States volunteers in May, had charge Of the
Union forces in Missouri. In June, 1801,
there was afinal conference between Gen.
Lyon on the one side and Governor Jackson
and Gen. Sterling Price on the other, at the
Planters‘ hotel, St. Louis.
Jackson insisted that Missouri should
remain neutral until a convention decided
whether she should be in or out of the Union.
The conference lasted five hours, and this
was J ackson’s ultimatum.
Nathaniel Lyon was a deliberate man. He
answered Governor Jackson slowly and em-
phatically, ill these notable words:
“Rather than concede to the state of Mis-
souri the right to demand that my govern
ment shall not enlist troops within her
limits, or bring troops into the state when-
ever it pleases, or move its troops at its own
will into or out of or through the state;
rather than concede to the state of. Missouri
for one single instant the right to dictate to
my government in any matter, however un—
important, I would see every man, woman
and child ill the state dead and buried.
This means war. In an hour one of my
officers will call for you and conduct you
out of my lines.”
Alld war it was, from that on. Aug. 10,
1861. the battle of Wilson’s Creek, Mo., was
fought by Gen. Lyon, with a small force,
against the Confederate Gens. Price and Mo—
Culloch, with four times as many troops.
Lyon was killed, and his little army rc—
treated, but the battle of Wilson’s Creek
saved Missouri to the Union. It checked the
advance of Sterling Price and roused up the
Union men of Missouri to form a new gov-
ernment and keep the state loyal. Toward
the close of 1861 Fremont drove out Price‘s
army. From that time the Confederate oc-
cupation of Missouri was limited chiefly to a
series of daring raids, made first by one gell-
eral, then by another.
Brigade”
MARMADUKE’S RAID.
One of ti!) most prominent of these Cou-
federate snatches at Missouri was made by
Gen. John S. Marmaduke, at the beginning
of 1863.
John S. Marmaduke was a native Mis-
sourian, born in
Saline county. He
had been educated
at the north, at
Yale and Harvard
colleges, and finally
at the United States
Military academy
at West Point.
where he was grad‘
uated in 1857. At
the outbreak of the ,
war he was a lieu-
tenant in
United
army. He resigned
his commission and '
entered the Con-
federate service,
speedily becominga major general. After
the war, he engaged in the peaceful pursuits.
of trade in St. Louis. He for a time was
editor of a journal of agriculture. In 1.53.81
he was elected governor of Missouri.
Tllc most desperate of the fighting Ill
Elisssouri was done in the southwestern part
of the state. In the heart of the contested
district was the town of Springfield, on “'11
son’s creek, 190 miles southwest of St. Louis.
[t is a flourishing town now, of some 10,000
inhabitants. The Atlantic and Pacific rail-
rrxld passes through it.
But during the war it was never at peace.
Its hapless inhabitants did not know one
week whether men in blue or gray would be
quartered on it the next week. Occupied
now by Confederate, now,by Union forces, it
had experience of war lasting and bitter.
At the beginning of 1863, Brig. Gen. E. 13.
Brown, cf the Missouri militia, was stationed
at Springfield. Tile town was full of Federal
supplies, and therefore constituted a rich
prize for him who could capture it. At the
beginning of the war Gen. Brown was lieu;
tenant colonel of the 7th Missouri. «
Gen. Egbert B. Brown was one of Mis—
souri’s bravest and most useful defenders.
His fighting history was made chiefly ill his
own state, but there was enough of it to
make a long story. He was occupied all of
the year 1863 iii defending the state from
Confederate raids. Now here, now there, he
moved with great rapidity, and seemed a!-
most able to beill two places at the same
time. Jan. 8, 1863, he drove Marmaduke
back from Springfield, MO.
In the autumn of that year the Confederate
- general Cabell made a raid into Missouri by
way of the Indian Territory. Part of his
troops indeed consisted of Indians. He sent
Geus. Shelby and Coffey as far into the state
as Booneville, on the Missouri river. A:
Arrow Rock, near this point, Gen. N. B.
Brown, with his Missouri militia. Inc:- than)
and gave battle, Oct. 12. He fought till dark
and again attacked On the morning of 11.n-
l3th. Then the Confederates broke. and lied,
and Gen. Brown pursued thcm‘to the Arkan-
sas line.
After that he was constantly engaged in
directing the movements of the Missouri
home guards and watching Missouri’s long
drawn out border. Sometimes the Con—
federatcs entered the unhappy state from
Arkansas, sometimes from Indian Territory.
The latter part of September, 1801, Gen.
Sterling Price rode into Missouri from .-\r-
kansas at thcllead of over 15.030 mouutcd
men. Where would he strike? Missouri nua
full of food and depot-s of government sup-
plies. It became evident that one of (from.
Price’s objective points was Jefferson City,
the capital.
Once more Gen. Egbert B. Brown sum-
nloned his tried Missouri militia, concen-
trated it. at the capital and held it till Fod-
erel ro-onforccments could reach him and
save the state archives and buildings. In
one of the many lights in which he was on—
gagcd Gen. Brown was wounded alld lost
the use of his arm.
There was 9. Fedora] hospital at Spring-
field, Mo., and the fact that the place was,
besides, plentifully provided with both the
provisions and the munitions of war, was
well known to the Confederates.
GEN. MARIIADUKE.
FIGHT AT SPRINGFIELD.
At the very beginning Of the year 156‘;
Gen. John S. Marmaduke, with 4,000 follow-
ers, rode over the border from Arkansas
with the intention of capturing Springfield.
The town was only lightly defended. Gen.
Brown had caused his Missourians to throw
up some slight earthworm. He had only
1,200 men with him.
In the army hospital were several Illin-
dred soldiers. Three hundred were conva-
lescent. They were well enough to aid at a
pinch in defending the town. Accordingly
they were mustered into service, under Col.
B. Cl'abb. These couvalcscents were known
in the fight as tho “Quilline brigade.” Num-
bers of citizens of Springfield volunteered
their services to aid the defense. IVith this
strange collection—militia, sick soldiers and
citizens, aided by 150 men of tile 118th Iowa
regiment—Gen. Brown awaited the attack of
Marmaduke.
It came on the 8th of Januar ', “St. Jack-
son’s day,” the forty-eighth anniversary of
the battle of New Orleans.
Gen. Marmaduke hoped for much by the
capture of Springfield. He made a detour
far eastward to avoid the main Federal army
under Gen. Blunt. He believed he could sur-
prise the feeble force at Springfield, destroy
the supplies there, and thus force the Federal
army of the frontier, already advancing into
Arkansas, to fall backward for want of sup-
plies. . .

‘ a graduate of West .
Alittle after nobn of Jan. 8, 1863, 3,000 of
Marmaduke’s' men suddenly appeared before
Springfield and began firing solid shot into it.
They had not observed the usual formality of
giving notice to non-combatants to withdraw.
Gen. Brown had used what means he could
to prepare for them. He had heard before-
hand that Marmaduke had burned Lawrence
Mills, had marched on Ozark Jan. ’1', and
would surely be at Springfield Jan. 8. Ac-
cordingly Brown had the army supplies
moved out of Springfield on the road to
Bolivar, in the greatest haste, keeping only
enough to provide the town in case of a siege.
This was placed securely in one of the forts,
and Brown awaited attack with his “Quinino
brigade,” his civilians and home guards.
Firing became hotter and hotter. Brown‘s
forces replied with an energy and courage
that increased under fire. At first the Con-
federates gained advantage, then the Fedor-
ahl, then the Confederates again.
, At length Brown’s men were able to dis-
lodge their enemy from position after posi—
tion. Dark ended the fight. IVhen the
“Quinino brigade” prepared to renew it next
morning they found that the Confederates
had retreated during the night. The nleu
who were strong enough to stand still and
fight half a day were not, however, strong
enough to go after Marmaduke’s men, and
no pursuit was attempted. So ended tllo
fight at Springfield, Mo., J an. 8, 1m.
HARTSVILLE AND BATESVILLE.
Gen. Marmaduke had sent half his forces,
about 3,000 men, to Hartsville, Mo., under
Gen. Porter. Porter marched to Hartsvillc,
took possession of what he could there and
went on toward Marshfield. His intention
was to rejoin Marmaduke. ‘
Col. Merrill had been sent with 850 men to
rel-enforce Brown at Springfield. At ‘Wood’s
Forks they met Marmaduke‘s Confederate
army returning from Springfield. There was
a sharp fight at the Forks, the Confederates
again retreating toward the south. Marma-
duke alld Porter formed a 'unction and
turned toward Hartsville, Mo. earning this,
Merrill made a forced march toward that
village, reached it ahead of them and took a
strong posit-ion. Thus he had Marmaduke’s
whole force opposed to him.
The fight was at short range and was a
savage one. Marmaduke’s men charged rc-
peatedly, but could not shake the Federal
position.
At lcllgth once more the Confederates re-
treated, this time going south toward Arkan-
sas. Their loss ill officers had been very
heavy. Among those killed was Brig. Gen.
Porter himself.
Marmaduke pushed rapidly
across the Arkansas line.
The fighting at HartSvillo had taken place
Jan. 11, 1863. Marmaduke was inactive for
a little time after his escape across the her-
der. At length he gathered part of his force
and lnarchcd to Batesville, a town in north-
eastern Arkansas. It is situated on the
White river. At Batesville Marmaduke was
met by Col. George E. Waring, ,with a brig-
ade of Missouri cavalry. Waring made an
attack on the Confederates Feb. =1, routed
them and drove them across White river.
Col. George E. Waring, who won the vic-
tory at Batcsvillo, is mole renowned in peace
than he had opportunity to become in war.
He has all enviable reputation both in Amer-
ica and Europe as a sanitary engineer and
agricultural writer. He was born in Con-
necticut ill 1833. He was at one time the en-
gineer of Central park, New York. He is a
spirited and pleasing writer, and a busy and
eliective helper in all plans for beautifying
the American landscape and building health-
inland attractive honlcs. Some of his best
known works are “Whip and Spur,” “A
Farmer’s Vacation" and “Sanitary Drainage.
of Houses and Towns.”
In the fight at Batesville, Col. “’aring
captured a number of Marmadukc‘s men.
Disaster met another portion of Marlnaduke‘s
force a few weeks later, Feb. 24. They were
at Van Burch, Ark. Three hundred of
them were aboard the steamer J Illia Roosc,
ready to descend the Arkansas river. Before
getting away however, the steamer was cap-
tured by Federal forces and the 300 made
prisoners.
'l'hus ended Marmaduke‘s raid into Mis-
souri early in 1.863 It was sigllalized by dis-
aster to him and his forces almost without
nltcl'ruption from beginning to end. At the
close he went to Little Rock to equip anew.
All affair took place March 25 which shows
vividly the methods of border warfare in
A Missouri River steamboat. the
Sum Gaty, was descending that stream at
Sibley’s Landing, near independence, with
eighty negrocs on board. A gang of gum-
riIIus attacked her, robbed tnc passengers of
their valuables and murdered a number of
them. They captured twenty of the eighty
Ilcgroos, drew them up in line on shore and
shot them through the head, one after an-
other.
THOlIITSON’S STATION.
How 001. Uoburu surrendered to l‘orrest,
March 5, 1863.
After the battle of Stone River, in the first
days of J unuury, 1363, the Army of the Cum-
berland, under Roswrans, lay ill and around
Murt‘rccsboro, comparatively idle. for six
months. During this time Rosecrans was
constantly calling for an increase in his cav-
alry force, which he did not get.
Rosecrans“ army was partly gathered in
the small Telmessce towns about Murfrccs—
boro. Thar. city itself was fortified, and a
great supply of Union army stores was col-
lected there. ‘
The Confederate cavalry, that all this time
hung on the outskirts of the army of the
Cumberland, was particularly numerous,
skillful and aggressive, and harassed the Fed-
eral force not a little. After his defeat at
the battle of Stone River Bragg re-
treated to Shelbyville, twenty-five miles
from Murl‘rccsboro, and almost in a
direct lillc south of it. There the Con-
federatc commander took up his winter
quarters. hence, too, sallying out at inter—
vals, his cavalry, under such skilled and dar-
ing leaders as Forrest. W'Ileelcr and IVhar-
ton, would make a dash into the Union lines
and back again, doing much damage and
easily escaping. {losmruns had no adequate
cavalry to defend his force from these at-
tacks, and so had to endure them.
The most renowned Confederate cavalry
leader that annoyed the Army of the Cum-
- bcrlund was Brig.
Con. Nathan Bed-
ford Forrest, after-
ward of Fort Pil-
Inw notoriety. For-
rest was in many
respects to the
western Confeder-
ate :2me what

was to the eastern.

of their military movements was similar.
But here the resemblance culled. Jackson
was a man of devout piety, while Forrest
was altogether the reverse of saintly. He
had a temper like a tornado; used tem‘ific
oaths and woe betide the soldier who dis-
pleased him.
Forrest was born in Redford county, Ten-
110:5509,l111821. He earned his own living
when a mere boy, and never obtained much
education. He was a man of wonderful
energy and shrewdncss, and accuzuui
large fortune early. He lived in Isle ,
the beginning of the war, and immediately
enlisted as aprivatc in a company of mounted
riflcmcn. Shortly afterward ho was com-
missioned a colonel, and empowered to re-
cruit a. regiment of cavalry, which he did
rapidly. Soon Forrest’s cavalry became
known wherever the Union armies of the west
were to be faced. Forrest was made a brig—
adicr general ill 1862, a major general in
1863, and a lieutenant general in 1363. He
died in 1877. On February, 1363, Forrest’s
headquarters were established at Columbia,
Tennessee. There, toward the latter part of
the same month, his troops were re-euforccd
by those of Maj. Gen. Earl Van Dorn,
4,500 strong, three brigades of cavalry. Van
Dorn took chief command.
The romantic career and tragic death of
Gen. Earl Van Dorn are known somewhat to
his countrymen north and south. A native
of Mississippi and ’ '
Point, the year1861
found him 40 years
old and major of ,
the Second United

Some slight changes had been lnadc in the
army of the Cumberland at the beginning of
1863. Brig. Gen. Gilbert had been sent with
his command to protect railroad communica-
tion. His headquarters were at Franklin,
Tenn.
March 4, 1863, Gen. Gilbert ordered Col.
John Coburn, of the 33d Indiana volun-
teels, to take five infantry regiments, with
Aleshire‘s battery and 600 cavalry under Col.
; Jordan, and march south toward Columbia.

He was to take with him 100 wagons on a
‘ foraging expedition. He was also to note the
force of the enemy at Columbia. Gilbert did
not know, neither did Col. Coburn, that Van
Dorn had pushed his picket lilies far out to
the north, in sight of Franklin itself. Such
was the fact, however. Van Dorn had even
moved his headquarters to Spring Hill, north
of Columbia. Three miles north of Spring

THE CANARY BIRD.
THE GRAY, THEngLo’w, Tl-IE wHI'rE,
BLACKISH‘AND CHESTNUT.

_ Amongthe different, tribes of song birds
the canary has long been established as the
favorite, its melodious song, beautiful plu-
mage and domestic habits having won for it
a place in every household, and gained for it
the name of the “universal parlor bird.”
The Canary Islands are the most frequented
llalmts of the species. According to the obser-
vations of Adamson, Labillardio and others,
the prevailing color of the bird in its wild
state is. gray or brown, mingled .with other
colors, but. never reaching the brilliancy of
plumage exhibited ‘ by the bird in captivity.
The introduction of the canary into-Europe
is stated by some tohave taken place in the
down as tho beginning-0f the Sixteenth.
The principal varieties are the gray, the
yellow, the white, the blackish and the chest-
nut, and it is from their combination that
we derive the numerous varieties known to
breeders. Those canarics that have the upper
part of the body O‘f dusky green or linnct
brown and the under part the yellowish green
of the green bird, with dark brown eyes, are
the strongest, and most nearly resemble the
primitive bird. The yellow and white often
have red eyes, and are the most tender. The
chestnuts are the most common, and hold a
middle rank for strength and length of time
between the two extremes. As the plumage
of the intermediate varieties is a mixture of
the principal colors enumerated, their value
depends on the pretty and regular manner in
which they are marked. It seems to be ad-
mitted by competent authorities that the
canary most admired among fanciers is the
one with the body white or yellow; the head.
—particularly if crested—wings and tail
yollo: sh dun. The second in degree is of .1.
golden yellow, with the head, wings and tail
black, or at least dusky gray. Next follow
the gray or blackish, with a yellow head and
collar, and the yellow, with a blackish or
green tuft, which is very much valued.
rl‘hosc that are irregularly spotted, speckled
or variegated are much less sought after than
the others, and are md to pair with those of
one color, such as white, yellow gray or gray
brown.
The canary breeds freely with allied spe
cics of birds, and many hybrids are recog-
nized by breeders, among them being the
following: Mules bred from the hen canary
and a goldfinch, male siskin, greenbird or
_ citrilfiuch, as well as those bred from a hell
canary and a linnet or bullflnch. Besides
these chaffinchcs, yellow hammers and other
birds have been tried, but have not proved
ful. In all recorded instances where
have been bred the canary has al-
w. been the mother, the reason being that
a female of the other species could not be in-
duced to lay her eggs in an artificial nest as
the canary does. In order to obtain bright
and good plumage, those birds whose colors
are clear and whose spots are well defined
sh aid be placed together. A brownish gray
:‘cenish bird paired with one of a lively
yo. ow color often produces young of a dim
white and other admired colors.
All eminent authority, in speaking of the
choice of ,a bird, says: “Sacrifice color to
accomplishments; you will never repent it.
Nature seldom gives us rare beauty and
great accomplishments united.” Canaries
seldom show a sulkiness of disposition, and
experience goes to show that this amiability
of disposition is quite characteristic of this
bird of the Fortunate 131$, whose nature ap-
pears to be at sunny and genial as the climo
from which it originally came. Although
the canary, as a domesticated bird, is the
easiest of all others to take care of and his
persons whose ideas on this subject are very
limited.
As to their food, the more simple and nat—
ural has been always found to be the most
productive of good health and cheerfulness;
while, on the other hand, mixtures, intro-
duced by many, such as hemp, oatmeal,
oats, sugar, sweet cake, biscuit and such like,
so far from being wholesome are injurious.
'1‘ be main point is to obtain pure and fresh
seed for them. Rape md, when‘eld or kcptr
too long in a damp place, becomes musty,
gets a bitter taste and won’t agree at all with
hil .". The canary seed must be clean and cl
'1 gh sv hue, feel heavy, to be free from
smell and have a sweet taste.
ons keeping canaries for their singing
should keep them in cages of about a foot in
diameter, cit-her round or square, as in a
largo cage. they will not sing so well, having
too much room to fly about and amuse
themselves, which, in a. great degree, takes
away their attention from singing. It is
not necessary to keep them birds in a very
warm room in the winter season, as they can
endure a great deal of cold without injury,
but they should be kept in as equal a tem-
perature as possible,
Ashort time before the birds are put to
breed they should be fed with higher food,
such as hard boiled egg, chopped up fine,
white and yolk together, exclusive of their
general seed.
Good birds, when put together, will gener-
ally mate within a week, which is ca "31 5'
known by their attention to each other.
After mating they commence building the
nest, and in about a week the hen begins to
lay from two to six eggs, one each day in
succession, on which she will sit thirteen
days, when the young ones will come out, one
after the other. It is wrong to takot-he eggs
from under her while she is laying, for the
purpose of hatching them at one time; it is
best to lot nature have its way in this case.
As soon as the little ones are hatched they
may be fed, beside their general seed, with
egg boiled hard, chopped up fine and an equal
quantity of grated cracker, mixed togethcl
with the egg and boiled milk intoapastc.
This food must be given to them fresh three
or four times a day. for the old birds will ix-

food themselves, and in four weeks they may

taken, however, to supply them for some
time with the paste described, together with
the food of full grown birds, as a sudden
stoppage in the supply of the former has
been frequently known to occasion death,

The Marks of Our Crimes.
II: seems foolish for a murderer to hear
about with him a proof of his guilt, but do
we not carry with us the marks of our crimes,
whether they are great or small?
The girl who is sweet and charming in so-
ciety, but shrcwish, idle and selfish at home
with her sisters, the servants, and even with
her old mother, dcceives nobody. Uncon-
scious tones in her voice and flashw of her
eye tell the truth.
Many boys alld young men, who lead out-
wardly respectable and virtuous lives, in-
dulge in secret dissipations which they fancy
remain undiscovered; but lines upon their
faces appear, inexorable as the writing on
the wall, which told Belshazzar’s guilt and
prophesied his (loom.
Tllc flush on the skin, the dull eyc,tho
tainted breath, are proofs silent and unan-
swerablc as the scarlet thread that convicted
the murderer. Even the deeds we do but
a plan, and dare not commit, leave their stain
upon us.

the country doctor
and all others sub-
jcctcd to exposure in
all sorts of weather,
not'to risk health by
,wcaring an ordinary
overcoat. A ' heavy
ulster is the proper
"caper.” We make
them of various
rough fabrics, with
wide collars and un-
m c r o u s capacious
pockets, but the
Prince of Ulsters is
one of genuine Irish
Frieze. It’s slightly higher than most others,($35)
but considering that it’s wearing power is practically
unlimited, and that it is a perfect storm defyer, it’s
the cheapest coat in the store. We have every
other kind of overcoat the imagination of man can
conceive of—exccpt the poor kind—ours are all
made to wear and not merely to sell.

”THAT PRECIOUS BIBLE.
Reward of the Boy who Failed to Keep
His Promise-A Sermon.
John Kinney, of the firm of Kinney &
Ransome, tells a. little story about himself
which may strike a familiar vein in some
other man's experience. “When I was a
young chap,” says he, “I got the Pike’s Peak
fever along with a lot more of the men and
the boys of our town, and as I was pretty
hard to manage around home, and as some
staid old friends of my father’s were going
to the new gold country, it was concluded
that I should go with them. When we were
'1.“ ready to shut my trunk and lock it my
nether, who, bless her, was more than half
afraid to have me go out into that rough
country, brought a handsome clasp Bible out
of her bedroom and laid it in my trunk on
top of the other things.
“ ‘Now, J ohnnio,’ said she, ‘I want you to
promise me that you will read this Bible.
every day.’
“ ‘Of course I will, mother.’ I said; ‘I will
read it every chance I have.’
“ ‘And, Johnnie,’ said she ‘I want you to
study well the sermon on the mount. It will
do you good. You will find it in St. Mat-
thew and St. Mark and St. Luke and St. .
John, but the best is in St. Matthew. You
will read it often, won’t you, J ohnniel
“I promised everything, and I meant to
keep my promise, too. But somehow I never
did. I never opened the Bible; never even
undid the clasp. After I had been at Pike’s
Peak some; time, and spent nearly all the
money that my father had given to one of
his old friends for me, I started with what
was left to come home. I joined aparty
that wm coming home, but they left me at
he Mimouri crossing and I had aterrible
time from that on. I ran out of money and
then spent all I could borrow on such valua~
blcs as I could pawn. I would have sold that
Bible 0. dozen times if I could have found
anybody to buy it. IVell, after a heap of
_, walking and all sorts of hardshipIfinally
:eil‘ClleCl home. After the kissing and the
.41 king was over my mother a an 1:-
ing the little handbag I had ingleuggaht baxékcin
the place of the trunk I took away. In the
bottom of it she found the little clasp Bible.
“ ‘Your Bible looks as if you hadn’t u; d it
much,’ she said.
“ ‘Yes,’ said I, ‘I took very good care of it.’
“ ‘Did you read it, Johnnie? she asked.
“ ‘Of course I did; read it every day.’
“ ‘You read the Sermon on the Mount,
then, did you?’ she asked, with a kind of pen
culiar expression in her eyes.
“ ‘Yes, very often.’
“Then she Opened the Bible to St. Matthew
and there Jay the $20 bill she had put between
the leaves. There was a $10 bill, too, in each
St. Mark, St. Luke and St. John—$50 in all
—aud I would have given every cent of it to
have been out of that room.
“ ‘I told you St. Matthew had the best ac—
count of the Sermon on the Mount,’ was all
my mother said about the matter.”——-Chicago

Opium and Depravlty.
IVhat connection there is, or rather why
there is any connection, between the green
goods game and the opium habit I could not
attempt to say; but it is worthy of note that
several of the swindlers picked up by the po-
licearo “opium fiends” also. In one of the
plum raided a complete opium layout was
found, and in others there were strong indi-
cations of opium, with all that the word im-
plies. In several instances the detectives
were begged, beseeched, implored by their
captives to be allowed to take some Opium to
the station houses, so that they might make
themselves comfortable. The sharpers
seemed more alarmed at the prospect of be-
ing deprived of their opium than the possi-
bility of having to servo a term in prison.
“For God’s sake,” one exclaimed, “let me
take along just a little. I odd not live
through the night without it.”
All the doctors say that opium produces
wholesale depravity, but most at these
swindlers must have been pretty thoroughly
depraved before they began using the drug. .
They were born that way. One member of
_ a batch captured yesterday is the son of a
man who held a prominent place in the com-
munity a. dozen years ago. He never would
do any honest work, and the police have had
an eye on him for years. Nine-tenths of the
swindlars are follows of this kind, worthless,
and crooked by nature, and bound to be
criminals in some sense, anyway. Nearly all
of them live in furnished rooms or cheap
flats, and they are seldom at home except at
night. Their business is carried on entirely
by mail, and most of them get their letters at
cigar stores and “private” postoflce boxes in
other stores, where they pay for the privilege
of an address. These “private” boxes are
found all over the city, and they all receive
a great deal of mail matter that is of! color
every way, and fit only for the fire—New
York Cor. Detroit Free Press.
. Joke on the Bank of England.
A story is told of Wash Connor, Jay
Gould’s old partner in the stock brokerage
business, who is well known in Chicago,
which illustrates the proclivity ‘of the Wall
street man to play pranks in solemn places.
Connor, during a sojourn in London, pro-
sozlted a £25 Bank of England note—which,
like our own currency, is simply a promise to
pay—to the bank for redemption in gold. The
bank’s custom on these occasions is to require
the person presenting the note to indorse.
“Indorse it!" said Connor, when the rule was
read to hiln, “I don’t know about that. I‘m
a. little careful what I indorse. This is a note
of hanr .”
The astonishment of the ofiicial could not
easily be depicted in words.
“I don’t believe I’ll indorse it at all. I
don’t know you. Besides, it ain’t necessary.
Give me the gold and take your paper.”
“But, sir, it‘s our rule"—
“I don‘t care anything about your rule.
Isn’t the paper good 1"
“Good! good! Is a. Bank of England note
good? Are you mad, man?"
, “Well, if it’s good I want the money
on it."
“Who are you? You must be an Ameri-
can. Quit your fanning man, and indorse it.”
The official gasped nearly purple in the
face. Connor’s countenance did not change
a. muscle.
“I’ll not indorse it,” he said. “And as it’s
a genuine note, if -you don’t pay it I’ll pro-
test it.”
“Protem it! Protest the Bank of England!
Good heavens I”
“Yes, protest it, and before night."
The clerk climbed down from his stool and
ran intoaback room. He returned imme-
diately with two elderly officials, all three
greatly excited. Connor calmly reduced the
new comers to a panic by repeating his
throat, and after enjoying the spectacle
feigned a sudden understanding of the cme
and indorsed the note and got his gold.—

Making Counterfeit money.
While walking through a. part of the
Twenty-fifth ward the other night with a
manwho was once in the government em-
ploy wd who has been mixed up mere or loan
in chemistry, I called his attention to a
curious smell that pervaded the precinct.
The night was still and muggy and the heavy
air was charged with a smell like burning
metal. Tho man stopped and began to sniff.
“ I’m!" said he. "That’t rather Odd!” (Shift)
“Antimony?" (Built) “By George! Do
you know what that is? Somebody’s making
counterfeit money!" In Wednesday’s paper
I read with a little start of surprise a para-
graph stating that counterfeit half dollars
had mMo their appearance in this city in
considerable numbers. Here is a chance for
asharp nosed detective to distinguish him-
self—“Rambler” in Brooklyn Eagle.
Books for the Insane.
Some weeks ago we published a short ap—
peal suggesting that books should be con-
tributed to the insane asylums of the coun
try, in order to form libraries for the unfor'
tunate inmates. Already one result of the
suggestion has been heard from as OK as
Texas. The North Texas asylum at Terrel is
now forming a library, and has sent our edi—
torial with comments to .the local journal,
which published it as an appeal to the public
of Texas for this most deserving charity. The
asylum has now nearly 300 books as a nucleus
of a library, and receives regularly over 78
newspapers. Besides, these, hundreds of
copies of periodicals have been donated to it.
This we cite as an instance of what can and
should be one in this direction. Almost
every house 5 some books to spare, which
are of no value to any one. Many would be
glad to directly foster such work were their
attention called to it. Unfortunately, every
state can find plenty of field within its own
borders for the exercise of this labor of love.
“'e hope that the work now inaugurated may
be continued, and that an insane asylum
without books may soon be unknown in
America—Scientific American.
