BAY STREET, BRUNSWICK, - GA. 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 DARKNESS AND DANGER. Awful Adventure ofTHree Young Ken In a Gave. 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 poverty. 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.

The vulgar word “hash” is not heard in Boston. The article is alluded to as a culinary symposium. The difference between our sanctum and a dairy is, one has an easy chair and the other a cheesy air. A crusty old bachelor admits that marriage is a means of grace, because it leads to repentance. Why is a boy who punches holes in coins like a squalling cat? Because he likes to mew-till-late.

Well, an angel is a child that flies.” “Bnt, mother, why does papa always call my governess an angel?" “ Well,” explained the mother, after a moment's pause, “she is going to fly immediately.
