DEBASING THE COINAGE.
Au Errand Boy DUeorera a Bleb Cou
Philadelphia North American.
An errand boy employed by P.
Martin, who carries on the notion
business on the third floor back of the
building 608 Arch street, Pbiladel
phia, while tossing np a half-dollar
piece on Wednesday last was grieve?!
to find that it went over the partition
between the room in wbiob be stood
and the adjoining apartpent The
youth climbed over the partition in
quest of his coin. There had always
been a mystery attached to the room
the boy now entered. No one in the
building knew by whom it was rent
ed, or what oocnpation was carried on
there. The lad noticed a lathe on the
table, some fine tools and a coin, which
be described afterwards as a “Grant
medal" The suspicions of his em
ployer, Mr. Martin, were at once
aroused, and he notified the Chief of
Police, who sent Detectives Wolfe and
Miller to the building. Looking over
the partition, a man was seen appa
rently engaged in counterfeiting U
S. coins. His name was Eugene V.
Clad, and he livos at 310 Brown
street. Clad had oponed a bank ac
count at tho Pennsylvania National
Bank on March 7, depositing $265.64,
and drawing first $93 and afterward
$76. The remainder of the sum re
mains to hiB credit. He was arrested
and the contents of his apartments
secured. Clad’s business was then
found to be the debasing of $5, $10
and $20 gold pieces. By means of
fine saw a portion of each coin was
cat away, and the gold reamed oat
until the piece was little more than a
hollow shell. This space was then
filled with platinum until of the prop
er weight, when the first piece taken
off was deftly replaced and the coin
polished so as almost to defy detec
tion. It is estimated that Clad ob
tained about $2.40 worth of gold from
five dollar pieces, $6 from tens, and
$12 or $13 from twenties. He will
have a hearing this morning.

Smoking Out Negroes.
Savannah Recorder.
Yesterday morning about two
o’clock, Policemeu White nnd Corker,
who were ou duty in the magazine
ward, heard suspicions noises in a va
cant house on President and Ran
dolph street, and determined to in
vestigate. They found three auspi
cious colored characters in the house,
creating a disturbance and acting sus
piciously. They opeued the door to
arrest them, when the trio sought a
large fireplace, anil concealed them
selves therein. When the officers ap
proached, the trio ascended the chim
ney, and although the house was a
two story and a half one, yet one of
the fugitives managed to get np the
chimney and ont on the roof, where
he was caught. The other two would
not come ont, and a fire was resorted
to for the purpose of smoking them
out The fire was kept up in the
chimney for nearly three hours before
the two would give in, when finally
they dropped down and gave them
selves op. They looked like rabbits
that were burned ont of a log, and
smelled awfully.
According to the census reports on
ly eight States engage in rice culture,
viz: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Lou
isiana, Mississippi, North and South
Carolina and Texas. The product
for 1879 ‘was 110,131,393 pounds, of
wbiob nearly one-half was raised in
Sooth Carolina, and a large propor
tion of the other half in Georgia aud
Louisiana.
BBRBYWABO BEECHER’S FARM.
Mcrk Tvralc.
Mr. Beecher’s farm consist of twen
ty-six acres, and is carried on on strict
scientific principles. He never puts
in any plant of a crop without con
sulting his book. He ploughs and
reaps and digs farrows according*^
the best authorities, and the authori
ties cost more than the other farming
implements do. As soon as the libra
ry is complete, the farm will begin’to
be a profitable investment Bnt book
farming has its draw-backs. Upon
one occasion when it seemed morally
certain that the hay ought to be cat
the bay-book conld not be found, and
before it was found it was too late,
and the hay was all spoiled. Mr.
Beecher raised some of the finest
crops of wheat in the country, but the
unfavorable difference between the
cost of producing it and its market
valne after it is produced has inter
fered considerably with its success as
a commercial enterprise. His special
weakness is hogs, however. He con
sidered hogs the best game a farm
produces. He buys the original pig
for $1.50 and feed him $40.00 worth
of coin, aud then sells him for about
$9.00. This is the only crop he over
makes any money on. He loses ou
the corn, but ho makes $7.50 on the
hog. He does not mind this, because
he nover expects to make anything on
the corn. And, any way it turns out,
ho has the excitement of raising thp.
hog, whether he gets the worth of
him or not. His strawberries would
be a comfortable succes if the robins
would eat turnips, but they won’t and
hence the difficulty.
One of Mr. Beecher’s most harras
sing difficulties in his farming opera
tions comes of the close resemblance
of different sorts of seeds and pluuts
to each other. Two years ago his
far-sightedness warned him that there
was going to be a great scarcity of
watermelons, and therefore he put in
crop of twenty-seven acres of that
fruit. But when they came up they
turned out to be pumpkins, and a
dead loss was the consequence. Some
times a portion of hi^crop goes into
the ground the most promising sweet
tlatoes, aud comes np the infernal-
ost carrots—though I huve never
heard him express it just iu that way.
When he bought his farm he found
one egg iu every ben’s uest on the
place. He said that here was just the
reason that so many farmers failed;
they scattered their forces too much.
Concentration was the idea. So he
gathered those eggs together and put
them all under one experienced old
hen. That hen roosted over them
constantly night and day for eleven
weeks, under the anxious, personal
supervision of Mr. Beecher himself,
but she could not “phase’’ those eggs.
Why ? Because they were those infa
mous porcelain things which aroused
by ingenious and fraudulent farmers
as "nest eggs.”
But perhaps Mr. Beecher’s most
disastrous experience was the time
when he tried to raise an immense
quantity of dried apples. He planted
fifteen hundred dollars’ worth, but
not one of them sprouted. He has
never been able to understand to this
day what was the matter with those

farm is nota triumph.
It would be easier on him if he work
ed it on shares with some one; bat he
cannot find anybody who is willing to
stand half the expense, and not many
that are able. Still, persitence in any
cause is bound to succeed. Ho was a
very inferior farmer when he first be
gan, but a prolonged and unflinching
assault upon his agricultural difficul
ties has hod its effect at lost, and ho
now fast rising from affluence to

Colombo* Enqofnr Son.
Not long since a couple of young
men from this city were in Florida
and wanted to visit the cave a few
miles distant from Marianna. They
were pined by a young gentleman in
Marianna, and the three started ont
on their exploring expedition. They
procared a light and made the in
gress very satisfactorily. There is
immediately in the pass a dark, deep
chasm and cqn only be passed by
holding to- the notched rocks above.
Not far from this is a ragged nronnd,
and in climbing it one most be snre
of his footing, for a misstep would
precipitate him below and certain
death awaits him. While the party
to whom wo above referred were be
tween these places the light was sud
denly extinguished and not a match
had they to rekindle it. Horror and
despair brooded o’er the trio. What
could they do? To attempt to re
trace their steps without a light
seemed like madness, and to cqll tor
aid was worse than folly, as the near
est house was two miles away. They
dared not hope for any one to come
to the rescue.
Finally they came to a decision.—
They decided to trust in the Lord
and make a venture for the opening
through the dark. They said their
prayers, perhaps for the first time in
months. After the prayer was fin
ished, one of them said:
“Well, boys, I’ve got a pint of whis-
ke^gd I’m_going Id throw it away.
If I get killed in here I don’t want
anybody to find me with whiskey in
my pocket, and, besides, it ain’t right
to drink it. If I get out of here olive
I’ll never touch another drop of whis
key.”
“That’s right,” said No. 2. “I
don’t think it’s right to drink, or
chew, or swear, and I’ll never do it
again. Here’s a piece of tobacco, and
I am going to throw it away,” and
with this he dashed it into the dark
ness below.
“I thins you are both right,” said
No. 3, “Rud I heartily join you. I
haven’t got any whiskey nr tobacco,
bnt I have got a bran new knife that
Sbiifislor gave me in Colnmbus, and
I’ll throw that away. It’s all I’ve got
to give up.”
Having thus said their prayers and
lai-l their sacrifices on the altar of re
pentance, they started on their awfnl
and dangerous egress. For two or
three hours they wandered around in
the midnight darkness, and finally
came to the light, as pale as death,
with the cold sweat standing on tbeir
marble brows, thanking the Lord that
they were saved from the jaws of
death.
They rested a while, thonght the
matter over, and held another confer
ence. No. 1 thought it was a long
ride all the way back to town without
any liquor, No. 2 thought he couldn’t
live to get to town without a chew of
tobacco, and No. 3 said he couldn’t
bear the thought of going back to Co
lnmbus and telling his friend that he
threw the knife away. The three did
therefore agree that they would hire
a boy to go back and search for their
lost property, bnt as no one conld be
fonnd who knew the cave sufficiently
to undertake it, the darkness still
holds their sacrifices as trophies of
their repentance.
