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 ing away to my teglings, but you spoke so kindly, and I felt so sure it was good And 1 think si’\ such men as one nf the clerks in Huntley & Warner's should be removed he tuid uie it was counterfeit, and added some hing m^ father hid not hear. I know the pub lisher would not send me bad money. ^ “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, my child. Your father was one of the best, the only friend I had. I have not forgotten him. No 4, Liberty street I will call this evening. Meantime let me have the bill, let me see—I'll give have just recovered as you see, from 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.

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.

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. The President s Organ on the Omo Election- [From the Washington Republican, Thursday.] 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 ? Levy E.
