Ind , June 13—The bank officials and business men here are much excited over the '.mb tat ion ot the Uhio Oil company's checks, which correspond ex »dly with the genuine, it requiring a magnifying glass to detect the difference. The checks are drawn on the May juty roll of the company, and were cashed freely by merchants, saloon keepers and country banks They passed tirough the National City Bink of New York, and. therefore, were not discovered until the May pay roll was checked up at Oil City, Pa. The checks were printed on peculiar paper of whioh only three firms have the secret and they Itear the sign.ture of F S Blake, trea«urer of the oil company. The priming and pen work is i»erfect to the naked eye, even to bank experts. The checks are also printed m three different colors, corresponding to the different colored checks of the oil company The work seems to have been confined to the Indiana district. Banks at Man ju, Montpelier. Upland, Bluffton and Fairmount it is reported, have been hit hard.

It’s an odd thing, but there are a number of people who have a distinct antipathy to the screech owl and can Dot listen to a single burst of its hilarity without shuddering. The Screech owl is supposed by the negroes 1 on southern plantations to be in diratt | communication with all the ghosts and gl.ints of the forests. He plays I a great part in the more weird folklore i stories of the darkies. A funny superI stition in regard to the screech owl I* that If yov will take your shoe or slip per off youi left foot the first time you bear an owl laugh and turn the shoe sole upward on the floor and place your “stockin' foot' on the bottom of the shoe's sole t! <• w! will stop laughing and fly for t< without rest. Rend in*. Rending Is not a lost art to the eats, degree that conversation is. but it has in most cases an arrested development through so much reading that makes Bo demand upon aesthetic sensibility, so that one is apt to bring to a fine Story foil of delicate shades of thought and feeling the same mind which he yields to a newspaper, putting a blunt interrogation as to its meaning as conveyed in the terms of a rational proposition. and the writer's charm is wholly lost upon him.—Harper’s.

Lord Erskine, when chief Justice of England, presided once at the Cbelma ford assizes, when a case of breach of promise of marriage was tried before him in which a Miss Tickell was plaintiff. The counsel was a pompous yr man named Stanton, who opened l~» case with solemn emphasis thus: •Tickell. the plaintiff, my lord." Er* skine dryly interrupted him with: “Oh, tickle her yourself.

A notable meeting. Held Is the telerest of “Wwwan’e Hiatus" l» IT»1. T4* first re.oi.lid public meeting in the Inteieat of "woman ■ rights" was held IL the town of Medford. Mass., in 1701. The gallery <>f the church was occupied by the young unmarried j*»pie of the cougregaUoh. out aide aud one half the front gallery l*ing gum to the young men. the other side and the other half boing given to the young woiui-u. But In the seating in this eventful year the youug men w< ,v given the entire front of the gallery n» well, ami the youug women were only allowed OM side nf the gallery. Then it was that things began to happen Treatment like this wasn't to be tolerated even for a moment The blood of the ruture mothers of the Revolution was fully aroused, ana the youug women mr.de such an uproar and commotion that It speedily became a town matter, and a town meeting was -ailed to restore to them tbelr right, in half of the front gallery. The young men of the day were bitterly opposed to extending any new privileges to women, and the fight ex tended beyond Medford Shortly after the introduction of "p' l ** into the churches by which families were Sep arnted from the remainder of the con gregation. the selectmen of the tows of Newbury cave permission to a groti[ of young women to build a •’pue" it the gallery of the church upon tbelr own side of the bouse. This extension of privilege was resented by the youug bachelors to such a degree that the,, broke a window of the church, forceu an entrance and hacked the pew in pieces. For this act of sacrilege the voting men Os Newbury were fined 110 each and sentenced to be whipped or pillorie I. But they were manly enough to confess tbelr folic and ask pardon, so this part of their punishment was omitted. So you see the “woman's rights” movement isn't a modern one.— Boston Herald.
