There is no more honest work done In the United States than is done in the govern ment. The people believe this, while they mj to the contrary. This ia why they ask the government, although it would tie a great mistake, to take charge of imnks, rail roads and telegraph lines. There are too many who forget that the government is ourselves gone around the corner and come In with another cap on.

The counterfeiting at present is con fined almost entirely to the coin issue* of tha government. It la not generally known that th* nickels and the pennies are very successfully counterfeited, and -that there ia no possible means of de tecting the spurious from the genuine. The niekela afford a very handsome profit. All the counterfeiters have to do is to go to the Revised Statutes and there they find tbs materials to be used in their making. All of the metal employed ia base. .A nickel costa the government about-IX cent*, If, the, government had the exclusive manufacture jiLihese coins there would tie a great profit in them. But the coin can lie so easily re produced that there is no means of esti mating how many of them are put out of the counterfeit class. If the government should decide to call in this cUihb of coin they would have to Tei'cem the counter feits as well, because they are all made of exactly the same material as the gov- emiacnt's Issue. The bronze pennies are also counterfeited. There is a profit in this. The bronze of which the pennies are mode costs twenty-four cento a pound. A pound of tt wttt ntnke lUb pen nies. 'flic only way this part of the cur rency can be detected would lie for con gress to change the law so that bullion to the value of the coin can be put In It. One of the latest kinds of counterfeit ing Is the imitation of old coins for sale to the numismatists. One of the most Ingenious modes of deception In this class of Work is tlie changing of the dates of somebommon issue of a certain coin to the date rtf a year whose issue Is scarce and conseuvtKUtly high.

Ills Excellency Gov. Lee had ordered that the fire alarm tie turned in from the jail station at the same time the drop fell. Promptly; at 1.10 P. M. the massive bells rang out the death knell, and the hearts of the people stood still for a moment to realize that the be trayer and murderer of his cousin had paid the penalty of his awtul crime. The peo ple aunamnded the jail in large numliere, but only the few officers uml wltnesrc* re quired by law were admitted into the jail yard. Dr. Hatcher, his spiritual adviser, was with him, ami he bore up to the last with that wonderful self-possession that has characterized him throughout. He said nothing after mounting the scaf fold. Dr. Hatcher said that tlie prisoner requested him to say that he died without ill-will to any one. He died protesting his innocence. Cluverius smiled while on the scaffold, but was seen to shudder just before the drop fell. He died of strangulation. Thus ends one of the most interesting chapters in criminal history.
