A Counterfeit $1,C GO Bill Describ¬
ed.
Tlio following is a description of a
S1,000 counterfeit legal tender note late¬
ly discovered by tlie I ilited States Se
cret Service:
General appearance very good and
work well executed; paper made greasy,
to make it appear genuine ; in the centre
of the bill tlte vignette ot Robert Morris,
though well formed, looks as if pock
marked, and white jf eyes like pink
holes, eyebrows irregular, nose as if
lunched, and the sh (low on its left,
near the point, seen.s a part of that
organ, while the orignal has a bright,
intelligent face, and nose straight and
clearly defined; largo words “United
States” rather dark, especially the shad
ing; lathe work in the die and that in
the border well done, but not as plain
and clear as in the original; all the let
tering in the bill show i the ink plainly,
as if India ink; this n ay also be said of
the signatures, lookii g as if stamped,
that of Spinner being ; , plain imitation—
that of Crittenden haiii striking defect,
its termination forming a serpent’s
head; the seal is pot perfectly round;
the back of the bill shows no prominent
defects, only a general dingy appearance.
The Chronicle A Sentinel of the 31 says :
Two tramps obtained a breakfast from
an old negro woman at the market Mon
day morning an then refused to pay her
forit. She promptly called a policeman,
the Ineakfast jumyers were taken
custody, and Recorder Slieron gave them
a job on the chain gang.
A colored baby of Dalton came near
dying from getting a glass bottle stopper
wedged in its throat, \ bile the mother
was off wedging the :ontents of that
same bottle down her own thorax.

IONE’S ENGAGEMENT.
11V CELKSTK.
She was only fifteen and even more
childish in appearance than in reality.
Nothing could induce her to do up lier
hair or lengthen her dresses. She was
not ugly nor was she pretty; only an
interesting, a “vivacious face.”
Just now she was looking disconsolate
ly oiit of the car window at the living
trees, and was wondering what grand
mama was doing just then. Did she
miss lone as much as lone missed grand
mama? It could not be - and laying
the flushed cheek on the brown hand in
a childish, despondent way, she wished
she had never heard of a Hoarding school;
the tears rushed to her eyes and dropped
to the ground. At that instant a hand
was laid on‘her arm, and a pleasant
voice said :
“Excuse me, Miss, but you have drop
ped your portmonnaic.”
Brushing away the tears, and barely
smothering the soh that would almost
gome, she turned to look at the .speaker,
Such a gmhd face she Iiad never seen be
fore. Such penetrating, yet kindly eyes.
She looked at him in silent amazement,
“I say, sissie, here's 'your pocket-book,

you I haven’t opened itsmiling in a

“Excuse me for my rudeness, sir. I
