The Birmingham iioont. J. M. IVIcMaster, Est;., formerly of the Columbia bar. who has recently hung out - - ? -?i M.. nn. Lis shinirie at jjirciiiuguaiu, -m.*., to relatives In this city, gives a graphic pen picture of the *''bcoin" over the development of the coal and iron ridds of Tennessee and Alabama. Birmingham, so recently brought into prominence as a great industrial centre, has gro-va "-.villi magical rapidity, and the fortunes that heve !>ecu made there in the brief space of a few months seem fabulous to us who toil on here, year in and year out. and barely succeed in keeping the v. oil' from the door. 3Ir. 3le?iluster says that every one he mc-ett; is wild vi:.h the mania oZ speculation, and the fever is fed by the success that so many have m A with. The man who buys a lot uf land this week for >11,000 sells ft next week for $10,the new purchaser sells again at an almost iacrcdible advance in price, and perhaps it again and again selis with an upward tend.-ncy in price?. This has been the history of the place ever since capitalists commenced - he development of the Birmingham region ana discovered tiia" tue see^ou *u ijuwuuu was the richest in coal and iron of. perhaps, any pLice in the world, and pr-perty there has steadily increased in v::lue, until now a foot cf land on the main street o: Birmingham commands a higher prieethan a foot of laud on Broadway, >'uw York, and men who went there with very modest gw.,, . means have grown enormously rich through. real estate investments. As an evidence of the phenomenal dz I of the placc, Mr. ZucMastcr slates that so I great is the demand for house room he j could only with the greatest difficulty se- j cure any place for an office, and finally had j to accept and be glad to get a little" attic j room in which the light of day never pone-j trates and pay for it a monthly sum* that i would paralyze Law liaise- if any lunatic j real estate owner ventured to suggest such J a payment from them. We "hope our] fy.rmf;r townsman i will be one of the* lucky ones among those who have gone to this new Land of Promise, and we believe that he will, for he has wisely resolved to have an eye single to professional success, and although the speculator and the >.tock gambler may meet him upon every hand, Ik. >vi!I not iist to the voice of the charmer, charm he never so "wisely. The history of S:ui Francisco and the I "golden belt," of tie mushroom towns of Nevada and Colorado, and of ail other j places of a like description, ail prove thatj there is a reverse to "the picture of phenomenal successes, and that although it is undoubtedly true that great fortunes arc made in these places, .so also great fortunes are lost there, when, in the course of time, the "boom" drops oat; and meanwhile there are thousands who go to these plaees upon whom fortune never once sallies, and who at last turn back to their native homes poorer than when they left in everything, except perhaps some dearly-bought expe?\ rience.

It is not generally j knov.*n that the nickels and the pennies are very successfully counterfeited, and j ^ 12 nf rla. I ujjii i iiy jjusswit u?muo v? tecting the spurious from the genuine. The nicke:s afford a very handsome profit. All the counterfeiters have to do is to go to the Revised Statutes and there they find the materials to be used in their making. All of the metal employed is j base. A nickel costs the government ; about 1 }? cents. If the government | had the exclusive manufacture of these ; coins there would be a great profit in ? them. But the coir, can be so easily re produced that there is 110 means of esti- ' mating how many of them are put out of | the counterfeit class. If the government j should decide to call in this class of coin j they would have to redeem the counterfeits as well, because they are all made of exactly the same material as the government's issue. The bronze pennies are also counterfeited. There is a profit in j this. The bronze of which the pennies ; are made costs twenty-four cents a ; pound. A pound of it will make ICO pennies. The only way this part of the currency can be detected would be fur congress to change the law so that bullion to the value of the coin can be put in it. One of the latest kinds of cotinterfeit- : ir.g is the imitation of old coins for sale to tho numismatists. One of the most j ingenious modes of deception in this class i oi" work is the changing of the dates of ! some common issue of a certain coin to : the date of a year whose issue is scarce j and consequently high. The old Liberty j IV ..< 1KI\1 ic vfrv Tr, is s.iul ; that there are only seven genuine coins of this issue in this country. The coin is i rated in numismatic catalogues at a value ' of $1,200 and upward. The counter- j fc-itors havo been quite successful in ; changing ISO issues to that of 1(504. This : is not counterfeiting in the strict legal ; sense of tlic word, and the treasury ofii- j cials would not he able to punish anyone j for this class of offense. But they have j exercised their power to put a stop to : such work wherever they have found it going on.?"Washington Cor. New York Worid. Triclcery of Cattlo Growers. I low about the branding of calves? j Yes, ihafc was, and is, a favorite lie ! among the cattle growers. Annually the spring round-up starts out. Say that the hooks of the ranch show that there should he 1,000 cows on the range. "Without a smile, without the slightest droop of an eyelid, the cattle growers j and their cowboys report that the in- j crease of calves is ?0 per cent, by actual \ count, of the number of cows the book j represents to be on the range. Every ; man of them knows that If the book call's for 1.000 cows, that not more than 3.10 of them are alive and on the'range. They know that the rest lie dead in tire forests, or cn the flanks of the foot hills, or in ravines where they were snowed under, ! or O'.i the uri'l plain?. And ever;'man on the round-up knows that not more than 200 calves were branded and saved, j The lying report Is given to the local pro^s (which is supported by the cattle growers) that the Roaring Bull Cattle Crowing association has branded 80 per c<.-nt. cl calves, and editorial comment is made on the great crop of calves dropped, and editorial congratulations are extended to the cattle growers on thg pros- j porily of their business. That evening, : after reading the paper, the cowboys and ' cattle growers alike say: ''Shovepen is a i daisy. IT: re's him," and glasses are , lifted to vreathet cracked' lips and their contents are tilted down alkaline burned i throats. Many cattle growers, who have j been driven 'out of the business by j heavy losses, have told me within the j past two months that not more than 40 j per cent, of the cows they actually owned I ever raved their calves. And one bright, i truthrni cattle grower, who had io&t ?42,- j 000 in handling cattle on the Grand Encampment river iu Wyoming, assured r.io in exceedingly vigorous language that his cows did not, during the five years he- had them, average over 20 per cent, increase.?Frank Wiikcson in New York TIic /Esthetics of Hosiery.
