" In the matter of engraving, every -sensible nrecaution is taken to pre vent fraud, and the resources of the art are resorted to . produce designs which cannot be copied. Occasion ally workmen have been detected in the practice' of making duplicate plates, ene for the government and the other for private use, but such practice has-been always moat em phatically frowned upon when dja mtmm). Thm wnrk anon each bill is sub-divided amon? so many em ployees at present that it is not thought possible for any workman to obtain an entire plate. When the designs for the fronts and backs of the bills are -decided upon, the works for the different sections is divided among the' various engrav ers; for instace, one man will be Siren the portrait," another the bor er line, another the lettering, and still another the rcroll work. Each man. exce-ntintr -the one that does the scroll workpatienllv reproduces upon a plate of soft steel the part of the desizn riven him. The work is wholly hand labor, each dot and line being carefully cut with sharp pointed chisels or "gravers." The scroll work is done with a machine called' "lathe." This "machine works upon the principle of the 'pantagrapb,wnieh is 'used in copying pictures. The design for the scroll is made upon a large scale and this is followed by the end of the long arm ol the lever. The short end of the leTer carries a cut ting tool which reproduces the de Bln in the proper' scale upon the ordinary soft steel plate.' When all of the parts of ths design are com pleted and turned in, they are tem pered or hardened and are then passed beneath a roller of soft steel, tinder great pressure.

It fTill Sail from Some Pome in fieorgU or Florida Within Tkiny luj-j XoUd Revolutionists .Now Plotting; in This CoHBtry.-Soutc ow Leariu. jAcasoxviLLE, Fla., June 7 A special to the Florida Citizen from remand ina says: The master stroke of Cuban revolutionary move ments in this city will occur within thirty days. The principal leaders of the party in the United States gathered at Jacksonville two days ago, but yesterday afternoon iuietlv slipped over here, took carriages and went to Ocean lieaeh, where they stopped at the Strathinore Hotel. From an ad joining room the Citizen correspondent overheard the whole of the deliberations which began at 8 p. m. and lasted until a late hour. The six men who composed this revolutionary board were Carlos M. Decespedas, (ronzalo de (juesada, Col. Enrique Collazo, Lieut Thomas Collazo, and two prominent citizens of Fernandina. These decided that that an expedition, composed of light draught vessels, shonld be made ready at once: that it should sail from some point be 1 ween Bruns wick, Oa., and Mayport, Fla. ; that it should be commanded by Col. Enrique Collazo, and that the fleet should be guarded by three newly built torpedo boats of the latest pattern and of great speed and manned by experienced seamen. LienL Thomas Collazo is to be the staff officer. Col. Collazo 's small army is to be recruited from the Cubans in the United States, and picked up native Americans from the Southern. States. Men already collected by Henry Brooke, who is now in New York city and who is to accom pany the expedition as a member of Collazo's staff, are also to be enrolled. Collazo is to land the expedition at some point in the province of Puerto Principe, where forces collected by Gomez and Marti will co-operate. The expedition is to land in Cuba within thirty days. In addition to this plan of operations, the following information was gleaned during the deliberations: That the province of Pinasdel Rio has risen, and that the insurgents have made more' pro gress in the present rising of three months' duration than was made in seven years commencing 1868; that it is believed that within a month the whole island will be in arms for the Cuban cause, and that Capt. (Jen. Campos, commanding the Spanish forces, is exerting every effort to bo recalled to Madrid -before the arrival of the disaster which he believes sure to overwhelm Spanish arms in Cuba very soon. Moreover, that Jose Marti will be in Florida within the next ten days. LATER. A cablegram to the Times-Union from Key West, Fla., says: Unusual excitement has been noticed among the Cuban population for the past day or two, and it is now positively known that an expedition of 200 or 300 well equipped men, Cubans and Americans has left this city since Wednesday, commanded by Serafin Sanchez. It is reported that a large schooner painted black, supposed to be the Nassau schooner, Mary Jane, was seen hovering near the east end of the island late Wednes day afternoon. Shortly after she was sighted several bands of men were seen going in the same direc tion, each armed with a brace of pistols, Winchester rifles and packs on their shoulders. It is rumored that the expedition will sail from one of the Bahama islands. Generals Roltoll and Rodriguez, with fifty to sixty men left on Wednesday night on the steamship Mascot te. Many familiar faces are missing from the streets today. It is rumored to night that another band will attempt to leave the city during the night. The customs officials are exerting effort te pre vent, infractions of the neutrality laws. A prominent Cuban says this expeditions is the best equipped of any that has left the States, and if successful in landing will put a different face on Cuban matters. The revenue cutter Morrell left the harbor this afternoon under order from the Collector of Customs, who ia exerting every effort to prevent expeditions leaving this district. The Morrell will patrol the Gulf and seareh every vessel that has a suspicious look. Every available man on the customs force has been called into service tonight and all are doing patrol duty. a METHODIST TTEW OF SILTEB. The Christian Adrocate.of Kaleigh, X. C, Comes Ont For Bimetallism. The Christian Advocate, the offi cial organ of the Methodist Episco pal Church in North Carolina, en ters into the financial question in an editorial which causes a sensation as marking a new departure for lieious journal. It says: a re- "The creat question before the people in the next lew months, we may say until after the next Presi dential election, will be monometall ism. Which shall hold first place? As banks, as a whole, will favor that financial system which is least bene ficial to the people, we need only to wait for their deliverances and take the other side." China's Thanks to This Uorernment. Washington', 1). C, June 7. Yang Yu, the Chinese Minister, accompanied by two members of his suite, was received by the President at the White House this afternoon, in order to present an official com munication from the Chinese Gov ernment formally thanking the Iresident and Government of the United States for their friendly offices in behalf of securing peace between China and Japan. The document containing China's expressions of gratitude was of yellow silk and ornamented by ribbons of the same color. It waa about two feet wide and several feet in length. Twice a Bride in Two Day. A Huntington, W. Ya., telegram says that a few days ago A. J. Good man got a license to wed Tennessee Ferguson. The bride's father learned of this, and, as he favored the suit of Henry Sweeney, he took the lat ter and the girl to the courthouse where another license was secured, and the conple were married by Rev. W. H. Fraley. The next day the girl left, and meeting Goodman, they were united in marriage by Rev. THK S C. UEUlSTlUTlUN LlVV. AiruMt-at In I. S. Circuit Court of I Appeals on Judge t tf' llet-Ulou That tbe State Lw is in Violation or the Fjrttenth Ameudmpat to the Con stitution of the I'nind Stat Con cluded. Richmond, Va., June 7: Argu ment in the Suutli Carolina registra tion case was begun in the I'. S. Circuit Court of Appeals before Chief Justice Fuller, Judges Hugh es and Seymour to-day. Attorney General Barber opened for the State of South Carolina. The trend of his opening remarks was that the Federal courts had no jurisdiction iu the premises. He said it was set forth by Judge Golt that the petitioner was a colored man, and therefore the refusal of the laws of South Carolina to per mit him to vote was in violation of the Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution. Mr. Barber called the attention of the Court that nowhere in the re cord did this fact that the petition er was colored appear, though it was commented upon by attorneys in the lower Court, and very promi nently brought to the attention of Judge Goff when he granted the in junction. The Attdrney General stated that instead of providing for a discrimi nation against any voter, the law set forth that any malo oitizen, regard less of race, color, or condition, who had resided in the State for one year was entitled to vote. Mr. Douglas made the opening speech for the petitioner. He pre faced his argument with the state ment that though he and his asso ciate, Mr. Obear, appeared in opposition to the cause of the State, they were in no sense against the State, except that they were en deavoring to bring about right. In addressing himself to the question of the jurisdiction of the United States Court lie said if a wrong was committed and the effect of that wrong was to disfranchise a voters and thereby imperil the Federal elections, he contended that a Fed eral Court unquestionably had jurisdiction. The law, he said, was iu violation of section 1, article 14, of the Con stiention of the United States. The State denies a voter his lilcrty when it takes away his vote, and therefore the court had jurisdiction to enjoin against further infraction of the Constitution of the United States. The Court adjourned till Monday at 11 o'clock. OLNET SUCCEEDS fciKESHAM As Secretary ef 8ate-Judt;e Harmos, r Cincinnati Becomes Attorney Uen eral. Washington, June 7. At 5 o'clock this afternoon the following appointments were announced from the White house: Secretary of State, Richard Olney, of Massachu setts; Attorney General, Judson Harmon, of Ohio. Mr. Harmon is a man about 50 years of age, possi bly a few over that number, and a resident of Cincinnati. His name had not been used iu the . i a r gossip atxvat tbe succession to Mr. Olney, except possibly in private. For some years he was judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Hamil ton county and upon the lemoval of ex-Gov. lloadley to New York, he became the head of the law firm with which the latter had been con nected. He is said to be one of the foremost lawyers of the Central States Mr.'w. H. Pugh, of Ohio, who waa yesterday appointed auditor of the treasury for the Navy Depart ment, qualified this morning and entered upon his new duties. Collector Manogne, of the George town district, called at the treasury this morning and tendered his resig nation, as requested by the Presi dent. THE CBU1SER RALElfelH. Seat to Prevent Filibustering Expedi tions en Cnba The Offlela's Fun ed as to Best Step. Washington, June 10. Officials of the State and Navy Department are considering the advisability of sending a warship to guard the Flor ida coast, to prevent the filibuster ing expeditions from leaving the United States for Cuba, but an em barrassing question has arisen to prevent immediate action. By ordering a vessel to guard that point of the coast line, it is feared that this Government may place it self in the position of being held re sponsible by Spain for neglect in not having done so before. Such action it is contended, would be a virtual acknowledgement that the United States have failed to do their duty toward the Spanish Govern ment, with which they are in friend ly relations. It is also feared that even if Spain did waive the right to claim damages for previous neglect by this country, embarrassment would likely arise if any fillibustcr ing expeditions succced'cd in evad ing the patrol. Late this afternoon Secretary Her bert settled all doubt as to the course to be taken by this Government, by issing orders to the Raleigh to pro ceed at once to Key West, Florida. She will be retained there to watch for filibusters and see that uo more expeditions leave this country for Cnba with contraband or men for the insurgents. COST OF THE CUBAN REBELLION. A British Intimation that the United States May Be Asked to Pay for it. London, June 7 The Standard today contains an intimation to the effect that when the insurrection in Cuba is ended Spain will request tho United States to pay part of the costs of suppressing it, adding: There is small pretense of con cealment upon the part of those going to Cuba from the United States, and the authorities must be cognizant of it. The country which claimed and obtained damages from England on account of assistance given to the South by armed vessels which were allowed to leave this country should be the last to allow armed men to leave her shores and insurrect against Spain." Stiflinr Weather in St. Loni. St. Louis, June 10 The weather has been excessively hot in this city during the past three days, and and there is no indication of relief. At midnight last night the mer cury was stationary at 81 degrees and" at 11 o'clock this morning it registered 90 degrees. The mer cury continued climbing and at 2 o'clock this afternoon had registered 90 in the shade. This promises to be, so far, the hottest day of the season. A YEAR OF KECOltU IfltK AKl(i Marvelous Spetd of Heals and Horsi S Aluleik- Feats of the Post ( omlet"ly Annihilated by Those of the Present age. This year will be memorable in the annals of athletics, sports, and physical achievements generally for the raising of the old standards of performance. When the trotting season began Nancy Hanks' record of '1:04 has stood unbeaten for a long time. Alix has brought it down to 1:0. -4. On the paring track Robert J. has lowered the record to .':01 1-2, beating Mascot's previously fastest mile by 1 1-2 seconds. Di rectum has made anew record for two years old by pacing a mile in '1:07 'i-i. Fantasy has made a new trotting record fur four year olds 1 covering a mile in i!:0T 1-4. The wonderful performance of Flying Jib at Chillieothe, Ohio, September '2, when, hitched to a running mate he paced a mile in 1 :50 1-1. is the crowning track feat of the season. This feat is made still more astonish ing by the fact that the last half mile was paced in ."Ni seconds. The best previous pacing record made by a horse hitched to a run ning mate was that of Westniont. who, in 1SS4, at Chicago, covered a mile iu 2:til ;5-4. Robert J. still holds the pacing record, but Flying Jib's work nas made it probable that in the near future a mile in two min utes or less will be paced by a horse running without a mate. Nearly all the old mile turf records have !oen broken this season, and we must not forget in this brief review that 1 Mi eat, at Sheepsheap Hay, on August 2 last, ran a mile in 1 :!'., carrying 113 pounds the best one mile time ever made on a circular track. Passing from fast horses to swift men on wheels, we find m arly all the previous bicycle records have leen surpassed in l.s'Jl, and proba bly the next month will break them still moro. J. S. Johnson has made a half mile spin against time in .M seconds. One mile has been tlown over by J. P. Kliss in a fraction over 1 ::'!. With standing starts X. Hut ler has cycled two miles in 4:U4 !-."; while J. S. Johnson has spun three miles in G:2n :!-."), four miles in S:-'!8-4-Vand five miles in lti:4S 4-" K. C. Bald has made a mile in competition in '1:0 4-". F. T. Titus has covered '10 miles and 1,4S0 yards in one hour spinning against time. And the best previous twelve hour competitive race time has been beaten by Wal ters, in London, who made the astonishing run of 258 miles in that time, or 21 1-2 miles an hour. Many other new athletic world's records have been made within the past mouth. The best world's run ning time for :K yards has been lowered to 31 3-.j seconds. The farthest throw of a 50 pound weight has been increased to 3. feet lu inches. The best time of a 120 yard hurdle race has been lowered from 15J seconds to la 3-.i seconds. The fastest time for swimming 100 yards was 1 minute and 12 sec onds until September 15 last, when it was reduced to a fraction below 1 and 9 seconds. A new swimming record for 880 yards has also been made for the wcrld ; the old one was fi 3-5 seconds slower. The greyhounds of the sea, as the Atlantic steamers are not unfitly called, have also been contributing to the record breaking of this phe nomenally fast season. The Cunar der Lucania made her last passage from Queeustowu to Xew York, or, to speak more exactly, from Daunt's Rock to Sandy Hook 2,782 miles in 5 days 7 hours and 48 minutes or at an hourly average speed of 21.77 knots. This beats the best previous record, which was also made by the Lucania 5 days 8 hours and 49 minutes. This ocean racer now holds the best records for the eastward as well as the westward run, her east ward time being 5 days 8 hours 38 minutes. The American liner New York has broken the best previous record of time between Southamp ton and New York, which she has steimed, over a course of 3,030 miles in G days 7 hours and 14 minutes. The best run to Southampton from New York is still that made by the Hamburg-American liner Fuersfc Bismark, which made it in 6 days 11 hours 44 minutes. Truly we live in a rapid age, and if we have not yet reached '-the pace that kills' it 6eems likely that the extreme limit alike of human energy and endurance and of the power of machinery and steam is in sight. As we see from these records, the care fully bred and trained horse can pace a'mile in less than two minutes, and yet the trained man on his steel horse can beat him by nearly eight seconds. Neither animal nor human flesh and blood can be expected to go much farther in the way of over coming tho obstacles of space ami distance and enlarging thej possibili ties of time. It is no longer a de batable question whether in physical powers the best men of this age ex cel the best men of ancient times. There is no well authenticated record of a Grecian athletic feat that has not been beaten by the ath letes ef this nineteenth century. Leander's swim across the Helles pont was far outdone when the late Captain Webb swam across the Straits of Dover from England to France. Lord Byron had already equaled Leander's feat. The Spar tan runner Ladas dropped dead on completing a race of 2 3-4 miles, and it was thought to be not surprising that he should, as the distance was regarded as very long. We have no record of the speed at which Ijadas ran, but as to the distance covered it was trifling as compared with the distance that many of our running athletes cover. That the modern man is of a big ger breed scientific inquiry has made certain. The size of the heroes of classic days, like most other things about them, was mythical. It was only in statuary that Ajax and the other large limbed men of antiquity ever had existence. Many years ago an old fashioned tournament was projected in Fngland, and the corse lets and greaves of tne mailed men of the Plantagenet period was pulled out of the closets of the old castle3 to be used by the modern descen dants of the "brave knights of old." It was at once discovered that the nineteenth century Englishman was mnch too tall in stature and large in girth to get into them. And thereby perished the long cherished fiction that the human race was phy sically degenerating, and that the men of today were 'not the men their forefathers were." We may, as we look over all that has been done on land and sea in lowering the racing records, alike of men, horses, and ships, feel that we If you desire luxurious growth ol healthy hair of natural color, nature's crowning ornament of both sexes, use only Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Ilo newer. rViiWrr I aic inueui 111c Heirs ot all the iifcs j in the foreino.H files of time."

Joi us 1.: I noticed an article iu Saturday's Joi unai. based upon the assertions of the New York Financier and also another in Tin-: Jot i:ai. of the ."ithinst. based upon the assertions of Hon. John DeWitt Warner in the dune Forum. Those two articles aim for about the same object which is to show that the country has an abundance of money in circulation. .Mr. Warner even goes so far as to ask do the people want gold as plentiful as iron as if such a thing was possible. If only those wise financiers, includ ing Secretary Carlisle, Comptroller Eckels. Senator Sherman, ex-Sena tor Hdmunds, and 111:111 j others would inform the people in regard to the true currency question which is now and has been for the past twenty years the all important qucs t ion. The greatest obstacle I see in re gard to the reforming and improve ment of the had condition of our currency is that all the great, financier-ad ocite government banking, but limited circulation and as a matter of c ourse the uninformed be lieve and hold that there should scarcely be any limit to the circula tion of the worthless paper curren cy, they not seeing the clanger until too late, and right bore is where tho two extremes butt against each other. The prophet who now could fore see or foretell the day when tbe two extremes meet in regard to the paper currency issue, would indeed be a wise prophet. Our self constituted financiers ad vocate sound money. 1 question seriously whether we really have any such a thing as sound money in this country. Even admitting it is so today it may not be in 3( days, for the government has not got all the assurance of the world that it can keep all its paper and what silver is in circulation at par for any definite length of time. As to tho per capita circulation of 2-".00 there is no foundation for any such assertions. Subtract the reserve of nearly 200, ), 000 in the LT. S. Treasury and all the mon ey in transit in the way of tax col lections by the government, the States, counties, cities and towns and how much is there left for busi ness. I am sorry that I have not the statistics of our State in regard to the currency in circulation but I am most sure it does not reach $5.00 per capita. There are two facts which I wish to call to the attention of our great financiers. One is that this country has not sufficient money in circula tion to keep all the laboring people employed, and the other is that this nor any other country has ever been nor ever will be flooded with good sound money. What I mean by good sound money is gold and silver (the money metals of the-world) and paper currency which can maintain its parity beside and alongside of the two money metals currencies which are recognized over the com mercial world as such. Space is too limited but I will give an incident which which I rec oilect well. About KS49 and 1S50 flour sold for $100 per barrel and upwards in California. Why was flour so high? The gold dollar was worth 100 cents. It was simply be cause flour was scarce and gold plen ty. But how soon that thing changed. Enterprise soon found that there was more gold in wheat than iu the mines and in a very few vears California competed with the FCastern States in tho export of wheat. The fruit crop in California has increased seven fold in the last ten years. Its value last year was 500,- UUO and $ld0,000 more than the value of all the gold mines in the country. I seriously hoiMi that North Carolina will make a beginning, let her think ing men sec to it that there is suffi cient good money in the State to employ her idle labor and abandon the idea that tho National govern ment ever will or can help us any whatever, onlv in the economy of adminstering the government, there by saving us from high taxation. If one right exists in a State it is to keep her people in prosperity. Newspaper English as Mie ic Wilt. He kissed her passionately upon her reappearance. Jefferson Souve nir.

"'You must get tired keeping all these trifles in stock,"' said a chance customer to a druggist as he glanced over a showcase containing at least a score of small patented articles. "We do," replied the druggist, "yet customers come in every day asking for things that we have never kept, and we have hundreds of dollars worth of unsalable articles on our shelves. The life of these patented trifles is ordinarily only a few years. They are widely advertised until they ob tain a large sale. Then the adver tising ceases, and soon the sale lan guishes until the thing is no longer called for. New York Sun.

Allen, a Calhoun county, farmer, went West to seek his fortune, leaving bis wife and several children at home. Finally he drifted to San Francisco, where he reported lie was doing well. After two years his letters home ceased and his wife wrote to the San Francisco authorities mak inquirics about him. They reported that he bad been attacked and killed bv a band of toughs. The wife mourned him as dead until her death, several years ago. Three of the children still survive Mrs. D. J. T. Action and Mrs M. L. Carnett, of Anniston, and W. H. Allen, who was in Florida. Last week a letter came, address ed to their mother. It told that their father was alive: that he had been assaulted twenty years ago and had received injuries about the head that deprived him of his reason: that he had been since then an unknown immate of a hospital there, remembering nothing of his past lite; that he had recently re gained his reason almost entirely and had requested the letter written The letter f urtherniorc stated that several acres of land which bad been purchased by Allen a few days before his misfortune, had been since then taken into the city, and now contains several blocks of the handsomest store bindings in San -fcrancisco, worth, it is said, 14,000,000. The children will leave this week for San Francisco to investigate. THE S1LVERITES UATII ERIN(i. For the Free Silver Convention Promi nent Men From F.orida and Texas- Tin North Carolina Delegation. Mem purs, Tenn., June 10 The predictions of the promoters of the silver convention are on the eve of fulfillment. The Memphis hotels are fast being occupied by the dele gates and distinguished men of let ters and statesmen from all sections of the country, and it 6eems now that by tomorrow morning there will be scarcely an unoccupied room in any hostlery of the city. Governor Mitchell, of Florida, had appointed a list of delegates from the State at large with United States Senator Samuel Pasco at the head. Governor Culberson, of Texas, lias appointed delegates at large from the Lone Star State, with ex-Senator John II. Reagan, chairman. United States Senator Marion Butler will head the North Carolina Populist delegation and will reach Memphis tomorrow morning. The delegation will 'be composed of Democrats, Republicans and Popu lists alike and is significant from the fact as it will bo a manifestation of coalition between the parties in North Carolina. W. II. Hinrichsen, of Illinois, writes that it will be impossible for him to be present. In concluding his letter, lie says: "You have no doubt seen the full report of our convention on tne ;ui. it was a success in every way, in spite of what the Republican and Democratic gold papers say about it. Illinois is safe in the free silver ranks and will be in 189G." THE BIGKEST WHEEL. The English are to ltulld One That Will Surpass the Ferris. English writers just now are gloat ing over the fact that the great wheel which is now being built at Karl's court according to the plans of Lieutenant J. Y. Graydon is to be considerably larger than the Fer ris wheel which was shown at the World's fair in Chicago. The Brit ish wheel will be 300 feet in diame ter, whereas the Ferris wheel meas ured only 200 feet across. It will be able to hold 1,000 persons, and the Ferris wheel could accomodate only 1,308 at a time. The big wheel at Earl's court is also different from the Ferris wheel in respect to the towers which sup port tne axle on each side of the wheel. They will be over 170 feet high, and four stories will contain saloous and will be connected with outside elevators as well as staircases. The steel axle, which is seven feet in diameter, will have a passage through it. Of course it is expected that the masses in London will avail them selves of this opportunity to enjoy a new recreation. The carriages and cars will be so arranged that each one will hold 40 persons and may be entered at eight difieront places. Each turn of the wheel will take about 20 minutes, and there will be five stops. The wheel will be proba bly in operation some time in July or August. . r.-- - - KILL LI) IX A FAHIIA ROW, A Jackson ile, I hi..

June -. .Mary K. Lease, who recently tackled the job of solving the problem of civili zation in a book, is at work upon another, which will treat on the conflict between labor and the money power from a historical and philoso phical point of view. In the first chapter the author says: "Rolling back the dark and tear-stained curtains of the world's history, and looking down the long vista of years to connect the past with the present, it becomes mani fest that two great agents or factors have ever controlled and robbed the hive of labor. These two factors have been the titled nobility or aris tocracy of royalty, and the aristoc racy of wealth, or flic power of money." THE TO W.X 13 DOOMED.
