American Enterprise.

A large number of “war relics” have been traced to Chicago, where a Western Yankee had established a regular factory, with traveling agents for supplying the neighborhood of the principal battle-fields with broken swords and flattened musket balls. That manufacture of antiquities will probably receive a new impulse by the announcement that authentic silver dollars of the Confederate States (coined only in small quantities before the mint was closed) are valued by collectors at $75 apiece.— Te ras Siftings.
