The Rejected Bank Bote-
“What is the price of this dressing
gown, sir?” asked a swect-faccd girl;
entering the elegant store of Huudey
& Warner, in a ci f y and in a street ofa
city which shall be nameless.
It was a cloudy diy. The clerks
lounged over a table and yawned. The
uiau whom Alice Locke addressed was
jaunty and middle aged lie was the
head cl :rk of the entensive establish.'
uient oi* Huntley & Warner, and was
extremely consequential in manner.
“The dressing gown we value at six
dollars j you shad have it at five, as
trade is dull to-day.”
“Five dollars!”, Alice Locke looked
at the dressing gown longingly, and the
clerk looked at her. lie saw that the
clothing though made and worn gen
teelly, was common in texture, and that
her face was very much out of the com
mon line. How it changed! now shad
ed now lighted by the varied play of
her emotions. The clerk could almost
have sworn that she had no more than
the sum, live dollars in her possession.
The gown was a very good one for
the price. It was of a very common
shade, a tolerable merino, and it was
lined with the same material.
“I think”—she hesitated a moment
—“I think I’ll take it,” she said then
seeing an expression she did not like,
she blushed as she handed out the bill
the clerk had made up his mind to take.
“Jennis,” cried Torrant, the head
clerk, in a quiek pompous tone, “pass
us the bank note detectro,”
Up ran the tow-headed boy with the
detecter, and down ran the clerk’s eye
from column to column. Then he look
ed over with a sharp glance and ex
claimed, that’s a counterfeit .Miss.”
“Counterfeit! Oh, it cannot be ! The
man who sent it could uut have been
so careless, you must be mistaken, sir.”
“I am not mistaken: I’m never mis
taken, Miss. ’J his bill is counterfeit.
I must presume, of enure, that you did
not know it, although so much bad
money has been orlf red us of late that
we intend to secure such persons as pass
it. Who did you say sent itf”
“Mr 0 , sir, ot New’ York. He
could uut send uie bad money,” said the
trembling, frightened giri.
‘llumph!” said the clerk. “Well,
there is uo dnuhr. aW ►i-.in, r“"
look for yourself. Now don t let me
see you here again until you can bring
good money, for we always suspect such
persons as you that come on dark days
with a well made story.”
“But sir—”
“You need make no cxplan tion,
.Miss.” said the clerk, in-uiting!y.
-Take your bill, and the next time you
want" to buy a dressing gown, don t try
to pass your counterfeit money,” and us
lie handed it the bill fell from his
hands.
Alice caught it from the 8 >or and
hurried into the street.
Such a shock the girl had never re
ceived. She hurried to a bonking es
tablishment, found her way in, and pre
sented the note to a noble looking uiau.
with gray hair, faltering ..ut-:
“Is this bill a bad one, sir ?”
The cashier and his son happened to
be the only persons present. Both no
ticed her extreme youth, beauty and
agitation. The cashier looked closely
and handed it back, as with a polite
bow, and somewhat prolonged look, he
said. “It’s a good bill, young lady.”
“1 knew it was,’ cried Alice, with a
quivering iip—“and ha dared—
8he could go no farther, but entirely
overc une she bent her head aud the
hot tears h id their way.
“1 beg pardon, h ive you had any
trouble with o V' asked the cashier.
-Oh, sir. y.oi will excuse uie for giv

so kindly, and I felt so sure it was

“Who is your father, young lady ?”
asked the cashier, becoming interested
“Mr. Benjamin Locke, sir.”
“Benjamin—Ben Locke—was he
ever a clerk in the Navy Department
at Washingtou ?”
“Yes, sir, we removed from there,
replied Alice. “Since then,” she hesi
tated—“he has not been well, and we
are somewhat reduced. Oh why do I
tell these things, sir ?”
“Ben Locke reduced.” murmured
the old man. “who was the making of
me. Give me his number and street,

best, the only friend I had. I have not

rheumatism caused by undue exertion,
and had it not been for that sweet girl
of mine,I know not what I should have
done. She by giving lessons, has kept
me, so far above want.”
“You shall not want, my old friend,”
said the cashier. “It was a kind pro*
vidence that sent your daughter to me.i
There is a place in the bank just made
vacant by the death of a valuable clerk,
and you shall have it. It is my gift,
and valued at twelve hundred a year.”
l’en cannot describe the joy with
which the kind offer was accepted. The
day of deliverance had come.
On the following morning the cashier
entered the handsome store of Huntley
& Warner,and called for the head clerk
of the establishment, tie came obse
quiously
“Sir,” said the cashier sternly, “is
that a b id note?”
U I—I think not, sir” stammeringly
replied the clerk.
I he cashier went to the door From
the carriage stepped a young lady in
company with his daughter.
“Did you tell this young lady, my
ward, that this note- was counterfeit ?
And did you uot so far forget seif re
spect and the interest of*your employers
as to offer ail insult ?”
The man stood confounded-—he dar
ed not deny—could say nothing for
himself.
“If your employers keep you, sir,
they will not longer have my custom,
said the. cashier sternly, You deserve
to he horse whipped, sir.”
The firm parted with tlieir unworthy
clerk that very day, and he left the *
store discharged, but punished justly.
Alice Locke became the daughter of
the good cashier. All of which grew
out of calling a genuine bill a counter
feit.

From the Fairfield Press, Oct. 14.]
On Friday morning last the (fi rmer-
ly Miss. Mollie Farnsworth) divorced
wife of Wellis T Clark arrived at our
depot on the morning mail train from the
South. On the route down town she in
quired of James Ford if he knew Clark
aud where he worked. She carried in
her hand a small paper package, which
subsequent events proved to contain a
pistol. Arriving down town she pro
ceeded to Dr. Sibley’s residence.(wherc
Clark formerly boaded) and inquired
for him. B> ing told that he was proba
bly at the church at work, she went di
rectly to the building. Mr. Clark wis
at the time of her arrival engaged in
placing the joists for the second floor.
Mrs Clark entered the basement and
looking around for Clark, saw him on
the joists some ten or eleven feet above.
She unwrapped her paper parcel, re
marking at the time, “Well, Clark, I’ve
given you warning—now I’ve got you.”
She then presented her pistol and
sought a good opportunity to shoot
Clark between the joists. Clark saw his
danger and drew a pistol and fired, lie-
ports are somewhat conflicting as to
which fired first, the reports being al
most simultaneous. Mrs. Clark's bulie’.
struck a joist and rebounded to the
floor. Clark shot three times. The first
shot was a n.iss. but the other two took
affect. One entered Mrs. Clark’s fore-’
Bead just above the left eye, and taking
a downward course, came out almost
through the eye The other entered the
forehead near the edge of the hair and
ranged backward along the scalp. After
the firing Mrs. Clark sank down, and
was helped to Dr. Vertree’s office ■ by
Messrs McNely and Clodfelter. With

had faith to believe that, she V#luld
live to again make a target of Mr. Clark
at some future time.
On Friday evening we called to see
Mrs. Clark.aud found her getting along
finely under the circumstances. Oue-
half of her head and face was covered
with cloths, but her visible eye was
bright, and she was able to talk as ra
pidly and energetically as ever. She
had much to say that was bad of her
late husband She ssid she had joined
him in ^liauy crimes, and that he is re
sponsible for her wrong-doings. She is
evidently not of sound mind. She says
that when in Texas and other distant
States (Clark being in Illinois) lie
would pinch her bands and feet and an
noy her in many other ways, and she
conclud d that she would kill him to
prevent his thus fidlowiag her around
and disturbing her.

of
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE OHIO ELEC
TION.
While the New York press, with
characteristic ignorance of the general
politics of the country, asciibes the re
suit in Ohio to the Democratic blunder
on the money question, thoughtful peo
ple are beginning to acknowledge the
fact that a majority of t he voters of that.
State are inclined to be inflationists.
The school question and the anti-Carey
influences combined to aid the Repub
licans in their struggle for hard money;
but we fear that if they had not been
aided by these side issues they would
have been defeated. This honest con
fession may be somewhat unsavory to
the average Republican politician, but
we make it for the deliberate purpose
of awakening some of our blind party
managers to an appreciation of the true
condition of affairs. We repeat that
the hard-money plank in our Ohio plat
form was not sufficiently popular to
have enabled us to win the election,
and if the party had not been fortunate
enough to assume a position in thorough
accord with the sentiments expressed
in the Presidents’s Des Moines speech
it would have been defeated. As we
said yesterday, inflation is by no means
dead, and the people of the East who
allow themselves to be deceived by the
stupid deductions of the so-called great
delies of New Y'ork city will not have
to live long before they fiml this out.
The Huguenots in America.
On the revocation of the edict of Nantes
in 1685, at least 500,000 Hugueno.s took
j refuge in foreign countries. From this
time lor many years, theii* cause was com-
< 1 , IUUC IW1 UlrtUJ J
.T/STSSE; pletely broken in France. In 1705 there
with whiskey, lying in ihe t
Monroe, Mich., was carried into Lake Erie
by ice and sunk. For several weeks past a
partv of wreckers from Chicago have been
searching that vicinity, and now claim to
hare found the schooner. The vessel is in
23 feet of water, and the wreckers expect to
was not a single organised congregation of
Hugnenots left in all France. So early as
1555, Coligni attempted,but without success,
to establish a Huguenot colony in Brazil.
In 1562 he sent out two ships, under the
command of Jeon Ribault, on a voyage of
exploration to Florida, hat the attempt to
establish a colony was unsuccessful. Many
departed for North America even before the
revocation of the edict of Nantes. Sorae^
settled in and around Amsterdam, now New
York, where their family names are frequent.
Others found homes in Massachusetts,Rhode
Island and Virginia. But South Carolina
was their favorite resting place, and a large
number of the foremost families in that
State are of Huguenot origin. This class of
immigrants has contributed, in proportion
to its numbers, a vast share to the culture
and prosperity of the United States.—
Wherever they settled they were noted for
severe morality, great charity, and polite
ness and elegance of manners. Of seven
Presidents who directed the deliberations of
the Congress of Philadelphia during the
Revolution, three, Henry Laurens, John
.Jay and Elias lioudinot, were of Huguenot
parentage.
The State Fair-
[Editorial Correspondence of the Morning
News.]
At Home, or Elsewhf.re, Oct. 24.
PBEFATOBIAL—AS A GENERAL THING.
It is so exceedingly easy to palm off a
date—(please pardon the far-fetchedness
of the pun for a date should come off a
palm)—-upon the readers of a modern
newspaper, that, after consideration, I
think I shall vepture to have nothing to
do with dates, particularly as the matters
and things to which 1 shall allude take
the form of a confused jumble of pleasant
reminiscences instead of a succession of
hours and days. .The admirable letters
and telegrams from your special corres
pondent in Macon leave me little to write
about in relation to the more prominent
events in connection \\ nit the State Fair,
and I shall not attempt t-* supplement
them even by an elaborate a f teinpt to fill
in the details which may have escaped
his untiring energy. Consequently, if
what follows may seem to be somewhat
disconnected—not to say dislocated—the
fact must be attributed to the embarrass
ment which one naturally feels in a poor
attempt to gather grain in a field which
has been already gleaned.
A COMPARATIVE FAILURE.
First and foremost, I must say that I
was disappointed in the State Fair. The
display was neither as large nor as varied
as tile iriends of the State Society had ex
pected to see, nor was the crowd as large
as might naturally have been expected.
These art facts that I am sorry to chroni
cle, but they are true—so true, indeed,
in the most emphatic manner pronounced
the Fair a humiliating failure. To this,
however, I do not agree. It was not a
failure, but then I will not say it wa9 a
success. There are several plausible rea
sons why this is the case, but it would be
useless, and, perhaps, invidious to allude
to them iiere.
MORALITT AND SIDE-SHOWS.
It was understood, I believe, from the
start, that this particular exhibition was
to be run upon high moral principles, and
I was led to believe, from the tenor of the
debates and resolutions of the Convention
that everything not absolute’y industrial,
agricultural or mechanical, was to be rig
idly excluded. It is true, horse-racing
and agricultural horse-trots were prohib
ited ; but I was much astonished to ob
serve two side-shows in full blast upon
the Tr^uiuls. I visited them for the pur
pose ^>f 'discovering if they were up to the
usually high standard of shows of their
character, and I found that they were—if
not more so. I observed, moreover, that
the three-card monte and brass jewelry
lottery establishments attached thereto
were even more attractive to the average
agriculturist than the charms of the fat
woman or the healthy developments of
the Kentucky giant. These worthy peo
ple—(the f. w. and the k. g.)—are objects
of curiosity no doubt, but they are not
nearly so curious as the deftness with
which a verdant Granger can pick up the
wrong card. There is something abnor
mal about the w'hole business.
TRICKS THAT ABE VAIN.
That they are more moral in their ten
dencies than a horse-trot, however, I not
the least doubt, for it was observable that
whenever any one with a ribbon badge
came in, the three cards disappeared, the
lottery show case took the shape of a
of a stereopticon wherein views of all
parts of the world were to be seen, and
the wheel of fortune was mysteriously
made to represent the changes of the sea
sons, the sign of the zodiac and the phases
of the planets. Who will presume to say
that I have not gained valuable informa
tion by attending that particular session
of this particular side-show ?
