How They Smuggle Their Initiate Into Their Work. New York Tribune. Morgan* the English engraver of the standard or “bc^ard” dollar, animated doubtless by an ambl'ion similar to that of the yoatn who fired tho Epbeaiai dome, smuggled into his work In two places the initial letter of bis surname. Although croscoplc In size these “Ms” are plainly discernible on the coin even to the naked eye after a careful learch. An eagle ejed Wall street man recently dlacovered one the letters, and started among bin uaintances the folio wiog puzzle: tul thrt «• M’«*r Mi it 1 tht* u ,| dollar.*’ Two are readily found— on® In the word “unum" and another In America,” but the third la not so easily found. An Interview with Chief Drum mond, of the United States secret service, showed that there ar* four Ms, instead of t‘ir» e. aii'l the four’.h, hitherto irmutu'e.l f\>! '• 1 v* Wall street ineo, via- \ to the reporter. Mr. Drummond laughed when his attention was called to the mat ter, and said: “The presence of these ex tra letters on the standard dollar was Brat brought to my notice by one of my clerks. They were, of course, cat in the die by Morgan.” The chief of the secret service acknowledged that thty bad not escaped the attention of the counterfeiter, who bad placed them on the falsa coins. Blmllar instances of the mutilation dies arc recalled in the caso of English and French engravers’ work. Wjon, the artist to the English mint,many years ago, placed on the plate of a post age stamp a “W” of »o minute a cnar* acter that for years the stamp was circu lated without a doubt of lta perfection. The eventfnl discovery of the blemish cre ate 1 a sensation in England. The objec tionable addition to the work was prompt ly erased, and a strit gent law passed against the commission of a like oflenee. In the reign of Napoleon Ilf, an engraver placed the initial letter of his surname on the plate for a stamp. This also was of such microscopic dimension that it escap ed detection for a long time. The discov ery of the fact led to the same result aa in the English case operation ou 09 eye ui .up? tills county. Before the use of the knife Misa Brooks feared the total loss ol her eye.

Wo do not hold ourselves responsible for the troth of Ibe story, but do not hesitate to say that it is “not much of a stt ry," compared with that told by the Western man who makes an effort: Ona day I was driving my engine over the prairie at the rale of forty miles an hour, without a house in sight, and sup posing the nearest town to bo thirty miles distant. Bat as I glanced ahead I was as tonished to *ce that I was approaching a Urge city.

An engine drawing twenty lam her laden cars end acsboose was bowling rapidly down the winding track along th Fraser river.

A huge boulder, loosened by the storm, bad dropped from !li heigula at tha entrance of one ol theie ire-ili-., and Engineer Avans did not le ft in time to prevent a collision. Tbe engine, alter striking tho boulder, shot from the trealle, followed by tbe tender and four rsre. The engine described a great arc, landing scro*t the gorge, 100 feet away, and then slipping 150feeltlowu tbe siopioa cron ite wall to the brink ol the river, where it stopped. ' Engineer Evans remained In Ibo engine and, strange to esy, wu nnlnjnred, thongb both tbe cylinders were broken and me engine was otherwise badly wrecked.

Most of these are very dlfll to core, defying the poweiaoftentimes of the best physicians obtainable, and are pro nounced by many to be incurable.
