Are You a Counterfeiter?

What use do you make, reader, of a counterfeit fifty cent postage “stamp” which you find in your pocket book, and do uotknow where it has come from ? Do you invariably tear it np, or burn it np; aro you careful that it does not get out of your pocket, into circulation agaiu ? Have you not some timo rolled np such a bit of fractional currency suspecting it to bo counterfeit, and willing to “get rid of it l, —by ehitrcc, as it were—and so keep square with your conscience ? We have seen men —meft whom t!e would havo trusted with our pocket-books—retqrn a counterfeit fifty cent piece to their pockets after -tluiy were convinced that it was spurious. , an -.acLifiifl mean —provided that the man is ignorant, as is generally tho case, as to where he got tho counterfeit ? It means that he is not ready to bear tho loss of fifty cents like an honest man. The action is a dishonest action. He has no right to put a counterfeit where there is any possibility of his passing it into circulation again. The only honorable proceeding is to burn it or tear it up tho very moment its worthlessness becomes evident. Do not hesitate a second. If you havo not this habit fixed upon you, cultivate it! Without it you arc in league with counterfeiters. You are one of the “gang”—you aro not an honest man. Let this rulo apply to a ten cent “stamp” and to a ten dollar greenback equally and rigidly. There are only tyo questions to bo asked. Is this a counterfeit? Yes. Do 1 know gave it to me? No. Burn it—tear it up—do not return it to your pocket as you valuo your ■honesty ! There is a law in Michigan—and in soino other States we suppose — compelling every bank to stamp the word “counterfeit? in lfcfgo Macfe letters, across every spurious bill presented at their counter, for whatever purpose it may he presented, under whatever circumstances, and upon whatever bank in the United ►States it may bo counterfeit. Wo once saw an apparently respectable man present a twenty dollar bill to the teller of the Miohigan Insurance Bank, iu Detroit. lie merely wished ttfknow if it was a counterfeit* The teller made no answer, but simply

brought down a powerful stamp upon its face, and handed it back with the word “counterfeit” staring its astonished proprietor in the face. We never saw a darker cloud pass pver a human countenance. Oath followed in an ineffectual effort to express \lio man’s indignation.— Every oath stamped “counterfeit” ppon that man’s character in letters as largo and plain ai? those upon the bill. Not that ho would have acted as a direct accomplice of professional counterfeiters, hut lie was not prepared to do what common honesty demanded—destroy tho spurious bank note and meet his own loss honorably. Of course, says every reader, he intended to pass the bill—and that would bo dishonest. And what is your practice reader ? Do you destroy every little piece of postal currency as soon as you discover its worthLessness ? or do you put it in the roll in your vest pocket, and let it take its chances with its companions when you arc paying car fares, or for lunches and cigars ? 1 f you do not destroy it, you are absolutely dishonest. This compromising with conscience is more contemptible than unflinching robbery. N. Y. Evening Mail.

Miss Anna Dickinson in Pickle.

Peregrine Pickle, writer for the Chicago Tribune, addresses the following to Miss Anna Dickinson: “And the first question I would ask Miss Anna Dickinson is: What have you suffered from the tyranny of man ? Wbat rights have yon been deprived of? It is only a few years since you were laboring in the Mint upon a small salary. Now you wear a moire antique whiph would do no discredit to either of tho avenues. Diamonds flash upon your breast Diamonds gleam upon your fingers, and your pretty black hair is looped with fastenings of gold. If this be the condition to wbioli—the. tyranny and cruelty and abuse of man have driven you; it this be the degradation to which you have been reduced, to he doomed to moiro antique, diamonds and twenty thousand a year, I think there aro thousand of women all over this broad laud who would like to bo trampled down in a similar manner. It is a jeweled jeopardy any woman would incur, golden shackles any woman would be glad to wear. “If you havo suffered nothing, Miss Anna Dickinson, what have you done for women ? I grant that you havo talked. You talk well, talk fast, talk long and loud._Ja. Fact there js no end to your talk. But what hayo you done? What practical act have you performed ? What wrong havo you rectified? What poor sorrowing soul that sits iu darkness havo you lifted into the" light? Do the poor women who want bread, and not ballots, know -yam. tmimMniigmL Atom broken the Alabaster box of ointment in tho haunts of misery ? Do your fallen sisters, who havo dropped like withered rose leaves out of tho great vase of society, know the flash of your diamonds as you pass through their social quarantine with tender words of sympathy and womanly words of hope? Has one poor creature, sunk in misery, in poverty or crime, risen up and called you blessed? There might ho no logio or argument in all tip, hut there would bo charity, which is better than logic, and there would bo action, which is better than talk. “Another question. Can it be possible, Miss Anna Dickinson, that your sympathies for tho wrongs of ■jnomaaAa naralv nommoroial ia its character?- That you aro tho paid mute at the funeral, weeping for a nightly salary over femalo woes? That you are simply a hired Hessian fighting the battles of woman at one hundred dollars per hour ? That tho locality and time and extent of your grief aro measured by vulgar dollars and cents ? That you wail the loud.est at the expensive funeral ? That yoq falk the longest and the loudest against tho Tyrant Man where the Tyrant Map payS you tho most liberally? That your ledger for 1868 would show ati entry something like this: ‘Dr. To talking and weeping over the wrongs’ of woman, 200 times. jQn $20,000.’ That you discount your tears for country towns and hold your anguish at a premium for large cities ?’*. Gold diggings have been discovered in Scotland.

The Ruffled Shirt Canyass.

In 1842, Joseph Chapman (the same who despairing of the success of his party, was admonished to “crow, Chapman, crow!”) and Thomas Walpole,. a Whig lawyer, who then resided in Greenfield, wero opposing candidates for tho State Senate, Walpole had been in the Senate, and Chapman iu tho House of Representatives. Tho Senatorial District was composed of the counties of Ilanooek and Madison. The canvass became warm. The candidates stumped tho district together. Walpole was neat in his apparel, and wore ruffled shirts. Chapman was peculiarly slovenly in his appearance.— In those days the Democrats charged the Whigs with being ruffled shirt gentry. By this they made many votes among the yeomanry of the country. Upon this charge Chapman rung the changes well against Walpole as they met upon the stump, from time to time, often pointing to the ruffles on his bosom as evidence of tho truth of the charge. They had spent, some two weeks in Madison county, speaking every day except Sunday. All this timo Chapman had not changed his linen, and it became so much soiled that even lie could not endure it any longer. He told Walpole one

evening that he would he under the necessity of going lioipe in order to get a clean sliirt, and could not be with him the next day.— ‘■■WslpoKf objected, iintf proposed .to lend him one. Chapman said, “That will not do. Your shirts have ruffles on them, and you know that I am fighting the ‘ruffled shirt gentry.’” Walpole replied, “You can button your double breasted vest over the bosom and hide the ruffles.” Ho consented, and the next morning put on one of Walpole’s shirts. That day it was Chapman’s turn to speak first. In his speech he reiterated the charge of “ruffled shirt gentry,” and pointed to the ruffles protruding from Walpole’s bosom. When he closed his speech, Walpole arose, and with great indignation referred to the abuse he had received from Chapman during tho canvass for wearing ruffled shirts. Sat A he, “Fellow-citizens, I do wear ruffled shirts; you see them now in my bosom. lam an honest man. I do not try to conceal them. I abhor a hypocrite. What character is so much despised as that of the hypocrite? This dishonest, hypori^limLTifpOTrou't~of::mnig has been" abusing me from day to day for wearing ruffled shirts, and I have borne it patiently, refusing to expose his hypocrisy. I will expose him now, and prove to you that he wears ruffled shirts as well as At that moment ho caught hold of Chapman’s vest, as he sat near •it wquwritMM mit popped a handful of ruffles. At this the audience raised a tremendous shout. Chapman was so much surprised and confused that ho did not dare to get up and confess that he had on Walpole’s shirt. Tho trick gained several votes for \Y'alpole. Transplanting Mountain Feaks. Professor Gunning delivered a lecture in Hartford, Connecticut, on tho last glacial period, during which lie stated that ho had seen in Stamford, Vermont, a granite as peouliar as that of Superior, but of -dyTeront type. Tho crystals were foliated. Soienco can find that granite at home only in Stamford. The mountain is a ttniicateq oone. The top hroheen" clipped off. North of the mountain there was not a boulder of foliated granite. South of the mountain there were multitudes of such boulders. Perched on the verf top of Hoosao Mountain the tourist may see a boulder seventy feet iij circumference and fifteen feet high. If he looks at tho boulder, then at tho mountain, he will see that the boulder has no kinship to tho mountain. The boulder is that same Stamford granite—a Vermont carpet-bagger, en« sconsed in one of the highest peaks of Massachusetts. The tourist may look southward over Deerfield Valley, thirteen hundred feet deep, and see' far in the distauee tho outlines of Stamford Mountain, from wboso top that boulder was torn. .i m Earth is Stated to have been found frozen in a Colorado mino at a depth of 125 foot.

A Wooden Railway.

A description of the Wooden Railway recently constructed for the Cliffton Ifon Company between Cliffton and the Adirondac mines in New York is given as follows by Mr. C. 0. Myers, late President of the Company: “The rails are of hard maple scantling, 4xo inches, set ori tics, on which are framed slots 6x4. Tim rails, set on edge and keyed in the slots by two wooden wedges driven . against each other, project two inehes above the tics. The rails admit of bonding sufficiently to make the curves. The ties are laid on the oartll and ballasted in the usual manner tq two inehes of the bottom of the rail. It takes feet, board measure, of scantling for a mile, and 1,760 ties at three feet apart. Our road is a very rough one. We have a great deal of trestle work, some of it over thirty feet high, which is vastly more expensive than a level route. The engines used weigh from ten to fourteen tons. The rails will probably last about five or six years. An engine will move about thirty tons of freight at about six. or eight miles an hour, with heavy grades and sliftrp curves. The Company expects to move over the road next year froyi 50,000 to 100,000 tuns of freight.—■ Trains have passed over the road, light, at the rate of twenty miles an hour, but this would not do for freight.”
