. ee a RE PROPOSALS. THE EVENING STAR. | A Singuiar (ace. The cae of John W. Harter, @ cleris in the New York Unst 1m H use, recently triedon a ebarge of forgery, preseats some remuirkable | featares, Itappears thst certiia dratts oa Mr. Cisco, the Assistant United Staves Treasar:-r, Dave to be signed by Mr. Haniter, and that two Such cratts, one for $3.20 aud the other for @.°O0 were ;re-ented ini paid, but were pro- cu: ced forgeries by the cl-rk at the Uustom House, who afterwards received them from Mr. Cisco, ane sleo by Mr. Hunter. Mr. Uisco bowevrr, detiared that thy were genuine checks, and had Mr. Hunter arrested on the charge of @efraudiag the Goverament of the money paidon them. At fhe trial, he swore roundly that Hunter made the checks, and that bheknew that sdbody bat Hantercould have made them, and that ne man contd deceive him about a handwriting with whicn he was familiar. Mr. Cisco's clerk testitled in the ase vein. The Government also introduced testimony toshow tkatin Janaary (tne time when the checks were po'4) Hunter had de- po-ited im certain banks large amounts of money The defence adepted an ingenious expedient to destroy the forceof Mr. Cisco's testimony. They employed an expert penman to imitate the signature of Mr.C. in order to test wheth- tr he could be deceived as to handwriting with whi b be is famitiar. The success of the experiment was perfect. The penman wrote | « the words, “Very truly yours, J. J. Visco,’ ard Mr. Cieco on bemg asked if the writing war his, answered’ “Undoubtedly it is.” Thus perished the ¢ftect of Mr. Cisco’s evidence. In the next place photographs of the two forged checks, and of two genuine checks, were made, and the writing enlarged to the greatest degree covsistent with distinctness, This showed clearly the writing ofthe forged checks was traced and simulated. The mending up of the 1 tters was as apparent as the letters them- s+lves. Each letter showed that it took a y umber of strokes of the pen to makeit. Inthe pext place Mr. Hunter satisfactorily account- ed for every cent which he deposited in the banks during the month of January. The re- suit was so complete, that before the defence had concluded its testimony, the U. S. Dis- trict Attorney rose and stated that he was satiefied of Mr. Hunter’s complete innocence, and moved his discharge from arrest, which ‘Was done. Economy in a Family. ‘There is nothing which goes so far towards placing young people beyond the reach of pov- erty aseconcmy in the management of house- bold affairs. It matters not whether a man fur- Dishes }ittle or much for his family, if there is a continual leakage in his kitchen or parlor. it runs away, he koows not how, and that de- mop, Waste, cries * More!” like the horses Jeech’s daughter, until he that provided has BO mor: to give. It isthe husband’s duty to bring into the house: and it is the duty of the wife to see that none goes wrongfully ont of it. A man gets @ wife to look after his affairs, and fo asset him in his journey through life; to educate and prepare their children for a proper station in hfe, and not to dissipate his property. The husband’s interest should be the wife’s care, and her greatest ambition to ‘carry her no farther than his welfare or happi- bess, together with that of her children. This shonid be her sole aim, and the theatre of her exploits in the bosom of her family, where she may do as much towards making a fortune as he can inthe counting room or workshop. It ia not the money earned that makes a man Wealthy, i: is what he saves trom his earnings. Self- gratification in dress, or indulgence in ap. prtite, or more company than his purse can ‘well entertain, are equally pernicious. Now READY—PRICE 75 CENTS, PEOPLES EDITION OF GENERAL BUTLER IN NEW OBLEANS, One volume, octavo, paper, price 7) cents. With the view of meeting the ¢ demand for this remarkable book, this edition bas been prepared. The page and type are similar to those of Harper’s Mazazine. Some of the less im- portant documents are omitted, and in some in- stances the account has been condensed, yet never #o us to interfere with the interest or completeness of the story. Cngugstionably this book stands pre-eminent in interest Seongs 1 i occasioned by the rebellio: Its subject and author combine to render it fasci- nating. Fifteen editions have been called for a8 fastas they could be printed. It has been most warmly q@mmended by the loyal press of the country, and scarcely less so by a portion at least ofthe English press, by whom it is acknowletged to be a complete vindication of Gen. Butler from the malicious charges which envy and hatred have brought against him. It contains an anecdotal sketch of Gen. Butler’s brilliant and remarkable career at the bar of Mas- sachusetts; a history of the secret movements in the Charleston conveation; conversations between Gen. Butler and the leading secessionists at Wash- ingtop in December, 133°; the real plans of the Gen, Butler invited to join them; his ad- traitors; vice to Buchanan; his effortsin preparing Massa- | chusetts for war; the celebated march, vin Anna- polis to Washington; his night march to Balti- more; collision with Gen.
