The sewer certificates of the District of Co- Tumbia were issued by the Board cf Pablic Works underan act of the District legislature, Wo aise funds to pay for the vast seweraze System then commenced. There ts still out- Standing about $75,000 worth of these certirl- cates, the residue having been redeemed. These €ertificates_ are more familiarly known on fhe Street a3 “yellow backs.” When first Issued they were at a considerable discount, but now they are at a premium of thirty-three par cent. Au Ohto firm that has dealt extenstvety with the District seems to have been a large holder from Ume to time of District securities, and has eait to some extent in “yellow- backs,” which they purebased from a bro’ er of this city to the amount of several t onsand dollars. These eortificate on being Offered to the Di anthort‘les to be eon Yerted Into other securities were upon comnar- ing numbers found to have been once caa- c@iled. WW has teen ascertained that $11.00 Wor: h of these cancelled ceruncates have been thrown on the market. \fter the abolition of the board of audit for the District the certtf- cates (“yellow backs”) that were canesiled by that board were placed In the ody of Dis- tr ct Auditor Benson, who placed them In an Wnised rem Of the Columbia building.

FORGED BOARD OF AUDIT CERTIFICATES. ‘The STAR some time ago made mention of the fact that a number of forged board of audit certiticates were In existence. In the case of these, the way In which the bogus paper was ut alioat is very simple. The board of audit issued certiticates for old material, and atter- wards found that the e:riffleates were erro- neous, belng in excess of the amount due, and also In many cases drawn !n favor of the wrong people. These erroneous certificates were or- dered tobe canceled. They were “cancelled” by having that word written tn red tuk across the face. The certificate was, however, left on the books undestroyed. Certificates drawn In favor of the proper party and for the correct amount were Issued In their stead. In many cases the latter have been presented to the sinkirg fund office, where they have been converted into per cent bonds under the act of 1574. The cancelled certficaies, which Femained in tie book=, were abstracted by Some one having accesstothem. The word “cancelled” in red ink,was was! Off with acid and the names of the payees’forged. Thi Were presented and received in payment for Spectal assessments, although there 1s uo law authorizing their Teceipt for such payment. ‘The sinkirg fund office has come into poss: sionof anumber of these bogus cervtic: Tuey bear the same number as the genuloe; 1a cancelling the erroneous and excessive certiti- cates the same number was given to the roper ones issued. Thus they represent Wgeramounts than the genuine. Kubbing Out the word “cancelled” and of forging the ees’ Dames is very bungllagly executed. The ‘ales thus treated look as if they had x 3 case has been placed to b a maccrating machine. The fergeries of names of Pcple, to whom the g ee eertlfical> were issued, Is the worst Kind of work.

FREDERICK KEPPEL, of New York, has a fine collection of BARE ENGRAVINGS AND ETOHINGS on exhibition for a short season at JAMES J. CHAPMANS PHILADELPHIA INQUIRES. ‘There is no good reason why the knowledce of anything that in a positive blessing to mankind should be withheld from the world, simply because certain psrties may be individusily benefited by the promulgstion of such knowleige. If aman is possessed of any information, the dissemination of which would have s tendency to alleviate the suf- ferings of his fellow-creatures, it is bis bounden duty to spresd that information broadcast, if he has personal knowledge of its truth and reliability. 4A mean-spirited person only would allow his actions in such a case to be hampered by the thought, ‘I know it would do a vast deal of good for me to im- part to the world my iuformation about s0- and-ao, but if Ido, then so-and-so will personally profit by my act, and Ido not get anything.” Let us sup- pore a case. A, we will say, after years cf patient labor and research, and by an unlimited expenditure of time and means, per- fects # specific for some d'streasing ‘‘ill that flesh isheir to.” After experimeating properly he finds his most sanguine expectations realized, and bis efforts are crowned with success. He takes meas- ures to inform the world of his discovery, and reasonably enough only eceks to fairly reimburse himself for his labors by asking a minimum price to those who wish to benefit themselves by the use of his article. Becomes along, and A makes him fully acquainted with the nature and properties of his discovery, and after making the most exhaust- ive investixations B comes to the conclusion that A has certainly discovered something that would be of incalculable benefit to mankind if it was gener- ally known. What course should B pursue? Know- ing he had it ia his power to benefit his fellow- creatures by making kaown everywhere the value of the discovery made by A, should he exhibit a puny, narrow-minded spirit and say to himself, ‘Well, I know that's a good thing, but Iam not going to trouble myself 10 advertisa A,” or should he notrather imitate the example of ‘Abou Ben Aahem," snd show himself to be ‘‘one who loves his fellow-men."” =) ‘The writer of this, in what he has to aay in this article, proposes to try and follow in the footstens of the illustrious character adverted to above, and will do so by scattering around, as far ashe can, the results of bis investizations of the benefits flowing from the use of that reilly wond-rful wedical preparation known aa “St. Jacobs O11,” “the great specific for rheumatism and kindest complaints. The writer has no personal interest in “St. Jacobs Oil,” or any other remodies, but positive and undeniable fats have come into hi poeression of its almost miraculons effects in a number of agyravated cases of inflammatory rheu- matism, and he fecls that he would be derotict in the duty he owes to his frienés and acquaintances who may be snffering from rheumatism, as well as to the community at larwe, if he did not make known extraordinary cures thut have come under hia perzonal observation I had heard many stories of magical cures of Rheumatism throuch the medium of ‘‘St. Jacobs Oil,” but I gave them Jittle heed, supposing they ‘ght be simply cmanat.ons of the imaginations of int reeted parties; in other words, extensive ‘putts? of some patent medicine gotten up to stimulate sales of tue article. In fact, some of theso stories were appsrently 89 exaxzerated that I would tara my bsck to the relators and say—‘'O, xo and tell that to the Marines.” A day or two since, ho sever, I bapponed to be in the officecf the Philatelphia Inyuirer, and over- heard a gentleman telling about an extraordinary cure of Rheumatism brought about py the use of “€t. Jaccbs Oil.” The name of the person who was cnred was mentioned in my presence, and I then discovered it was a personal acquaiataacs of mine. Now, here waa a chance t~ find out whether the story Ihcard of this remarkab'e cure was trae or not, and I determined to embrace the opportunity by calling on the gentleman myself, which I did. ‘The name of the gentleman is Major T. A. Hil!- jer, and he resides at No. 2235 Master street. Major Hillier tsa vory prominont Real Estate Ag- ent and Collector, and fs well known ia the busi- bees part of Philadelphia, and he isa regalar visitor at several of the newapaper officas. He is 77 years of ave, and his snowy white beard and moustache and long flowing hair vive him quite a patriarchal appearance, Twenty-five years azo the Major was actively connected wit’ the military of Pittsburg, where he received the handle to his name, and it has adhered to him ever since. He is aman of greataffability of dispoition. Kind, srcial and genial,—bodily suffering from that fell diseare, Rheumatism, never in the least damp- ened his ardent temperament. I knew the Major had been afilicted with Rheumatiem, but did not now that bis was a serious cage until I called on Bim. I resched his residences directly after upper, and found the Majer eitting in an arm-chsirin the back parlor reading, and in,another arm-chair di- rectly opposite to him and sitting at ths same table was the matron who had been his companion through life, and who, with spectacles perched on ose, Was euyaxed in eewing of knitting. I apolo- wized for my iatrusion, and cams at ouce to the subject I wus most interested in and said: “Major, Lhear that you have been suffering terribly with Rheumatism, and found speedy and permanent relief by the use of St. Ja- cobs Oil; now is that true or not? Anawer—‘ It is true, most decidedly. I was completely pr with rhevmatism and St. Jacobs Oil has eur almost entirely.” (uestion—‘How much of Ol did you use?” Answer—‘Well, I have not quite finished one bottle yet, but I am so much better thatI don’t know whether I will require another one” Queetion—'*When were you first attacked with Rheumatism, and how did it affect you?” An- swer—'*The complaint first took hold of me last March, aud I sutfered greatly. I had scarcely any use of my lews, arms or hands for months. My fingers were drawn up so that I could not write,and while I was unable to move aboat, I could not lie ftillin bed. Iremained in bed for several weeks at a time, and had good medical attendance, but could get no reliof. I then tried a noted Linimen t, but it burned or stung meso that I could not use it, and its odor was very offensive.” Question— “When did you get relief?" Answer—‘'I obtained the bottle of Bt.
