well for you as thinking men to examine,
not or'y your religious ?'; lief, but ;dso your
political !>elief. Great .">r: tain is driving I
ahead like a ship in :i ynic. 31 "n forget
that the constitution of ih; gland is not so

say to the contrary. This is why they ask

great mistake, to take charge of bunks, railroads

many who forget that the government is

in with another cap on. To place everything

lie concluded: '"As educated 3"oung men,
you must not forget that the Lord and your

most cowardly thing on God's footstool is
to run away from your government.
Though you may not be an active poiiti

Always go to the caucus, the beginning of

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.

Cotmtcrfeitinjj Nickels and Old Coins, j
The com: forfeit in $ at present is con- |

are very successfully counterfeited, and j

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

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

struck him in the back of the nc<-k, killing :
him instantly. The colored tiivman. \Vai
lace Jumper, had both legs and arms blown :
off. and died very shortly after the dreadful
occurrence.
The accident is supposed to have resulted |
from a defective condition of the boiler a::d ;
from carelessness in the matter of water. i
Some days :igo, Mr. John Hoffman, of this
city, happened to see the hoilc-r, and pronounced
it in an unsafe condition. It also
appears that the supply of water was allowed
to get too low on the evening before j
the explosion. It is thought that from this
cause the boiler became overheated, and oa
letting in water the explosion, resulted.
