The recent arrest of Broekaway, one of tho oldest and most experi enced counterfeiters in tho country, has called public attention afresh to that branch of the government ner rice which is organized for the pur pose of protecting Uncle Sam's mon ey. Thoso who have visited the of fice of the secret service in the Treas ury building iu Washington will no doubt recall the features of Brorka way, who occupies a pluco of honor in the gallery, which has been aptly termed tho "rogue's gallery." Here may be found the faces of men who for years past have attempted to make and pass counterfeit bills and pieces of money. . It is one of tho most interesting places in the Nation's Capital, and it is perhaps due to tho fact that, as the bulk of tho community lead hon est and industrious live, and ca reers of thoso who pursue the oppo site courso or of more or lens inter et. At any rate, whatever the mo tive, it is well known that every Uing tbatreluto-t to crime and crimi nals possesses a fascinating inter est for tho average man and woman. TO gratify this tendency or weak ness of human nature, as well as to fujrnisli a practical object Iohhou of what Uncle Sam has done iu tl.o past and what ho is likely to do in the future if he finds anybody at tempting to usurp his right to coin money, there is always ou exhibition a collection of pictures of noted counterfeiters, and also of the tools which they use. , Whenever an officer of the govern ment Seizes a counterfeiter, he con fiscates all the spurious money which he is able to find and the best speci mens of the skill of thoso men are f ruined aud hung up for the inspec tion of visitors. The collection shows some crude work, as well as some exceedingly skillfull work. It is very evident, however, even to tho casual visitor who inspects thin ex hibit of the skillful dishonesty of the country, that Uncle Sam has intro duced so many improvements iu tho manufacture of this paper money, that it is practically impossible to counterfeit it with any success. Even Broekaway, who is admitted to bo the cleverest engraver that ev er eugagod in the business, was un able to reproduce tho paper itself, and the result was that the notes he turned out were rather easy to de tect. In the production of silver coins, however, tho counterfeiters have more opportunity, but still such a ragid watch is maintained that it is rather difficult to pass the coins after they ure made. Iu the Treasury exhibit are found the molds aud plates and dies which have been used by thoso who rob Uncle Sam. It is not supposed thut the display of theso tools, and the product of perverted talents, has the bad effect of suggesting tho idea of going into the business. Tho out look is not a very encouraging one, as the records show that all of those who have adopted this calling, and who have caruod their place iu this National Rogue's Gallery, have paid the penalty by terms of varying lengths in the poniteutiary. What ever fascination tho business might have, it is not likely to be increased by looking over this collection which represents tho wrong-doing of men and women who aro made to suffer the penalties ot their crimes. Somo of tho pictures of tho men and women who have boon arrestod for counterfeiting show that they aro not of tho ordinary criminal type, but are evidoutly plain people living in tho country, who have per haps ignorautly yieldod to tompta tion and adopted their business as an easy way of making money. It is certainly not a&t hard as digging potatoes or hoeing corn, that is, in the amount of physical effort put forth, and thon it is usually repre sented that the retarns are very large and the risks small. Experience generally proves that both of these latter representations are false, but then it is too late to be of much use to a mm who has ruin ed his life and is suffering tho pen alty of tho law. However, thoro are always thoso who think they will bo exceptions to the general rule, aud this is one reason why tho ranks of counterfeiters aro kept recruited and that tho secret service of the Treasury Department continues in existence. Odd Fellows at a Banquet. On Friday evening last a number of Odd Fellows from the Now Berlin Lodge domiciled themselves at the Central Hotel for a chicken and wafllo supper. Mr. Smith, ihe pro prietor of thecential hotel is a mem ber of this lodge. The Middleburgh orchestra was engaged for the oc casion. The visitors present were as follows : S. E. Gross, A. M. Won der, Leonard Buyer, Chas. Miller, Chas. Spitlor, J. D. Spitlor, S. M. Kauffman, Dr. D. R. Rothrock aud wife, J. W. Hoch and wifo. Reno Crossgrovo and F. King. Mrs. Smith, in her usual prolific way, prepared a feast fit for a king. At a late hour the guests started for homo being highly elated over tho hospitablo entertaiuimwit and the strains of choice music. Farmers' Alliance Picnic. Tho Farmers' Alliance of Snyder county held thoir annual picnic on Saturday in Bower's grove. The agriculturists of our fortilo district turned out en masse to hoar tho doctrine adovcated for the amelior ation of the condition of the down troddon farmer. The speaUr were S. T. Ailman. Johu A. Gundy, Profs. Bowersox and Hormun. Mr. Gundy made a general tirado upon bankB and their system of high rates. He found fault with nearly everything dono by tho last legislature. Mr. Herman corrected some of Mr. Guudy's random shots and appeased tho wrath of tho destroying angel. Tho Farmers can justly feel proud of their most excellent organization and tho good it is accomplishing in assisting to bring about a wholesomo union for tho protection of our agricultural brethren. A CAT-SKILL IIOTKL MAN. (l'roml'iiiMklll, N. V., It. rur.li r.) Mr. Joseph McUitlurt, one of our prominent hotel proprietors, hits rea son to extol the merit of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Keinedy. iu speaking of it lie said : "I was ull run down from kidney and liver trouble, three pliyniciaus treated me but I grew worse. A friendsi.il to me. 'Why don't you use Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Kemedy? It curod me. So I began Its use the result was I gain ed daily, and in a little while I was well and sound again. I suppose I have recommended it to a hundred or more of my summer boarder, and In every lustauce It .has done them good." There is ouo medieiuo whiuli every family should bo provided with. We refer to Chamberlain's Pain IJalm. When it Is kept at hand tho severe pain of a bum or sen Id may be promptly relieved ami tho sore heal ed lu much less time than when med icine has to bo heut for. A sprain may bo promptly treated before lu flamuiation sets In, whleh Insures a cure In about one-third tho time otherwise required. Cuts and bruises should reoeivo immediate attention, before the parts become swollen, and when Chamberlain's Pain IJalui Is applied It will heal them without matter being formed, and without leaving a sear. A sore throat may be cured iu one night. A piece of flannel dampened with this liniment and bound on over the seat of pain, will oura lame back or pain iu the side or chest In twenty-four hoursr It Is the most valuable, however, for rheumatism. Persons ufllictod with this disease will be delighted with the prompt relief from pain which it af fords, and It can be depended upon effect a complete cure. For sale by J, W.

The Item ntates that the Editor of this paper was married. We informed tho Editor of the Item that Dr. Atnig and Miss Marks were married, but there'were others in to see the Itcm't reporter who insisted that it was tho Editor of tho Post who was married.

SELINSGROVE. The Selinsgrovo ball club played tho K. A. C. in Northumberland on Saturday ; they defeated both the K. A. C's and tho uaipiro until the sixth inning whon tho scoro was 2 to 1 in favor of Selinsgrove.
