Pattison, the newly appointed Pev- sion Agent, appeared yesterday before United Btates Commissioner Shields, gave the requisite sureties and formally took the oath of office. THE CAGED COUNTERFEITERS. Michael Tague, Michael Boyle, James Maber and James McGrath, who were arrested on Tuesday, were brought yesterday betore United States Com- Missioner Shieids, charged with passing counter- feit trade dollars and half dollars at divers times within the past mouth, The manner in Which the arrest was effected shows how adroitly matters of the Kind are generally Managed. It appears that about five weeks ago a certain coun- terfeiter came to the Secret Service Ofice and voi- unteered iuigimaticn that would lead to the cap- ture of several parties, Mr. W. W. Kennooh, Chief of the New York district, detailed Onicer Drum- mond to the task of working up the case. The informant introduced the officer toa iriend of his Bumed McGuire, telling wim (McGuire) that Thomas Myuntgomery (the officer in disguise) was ® Western connterfeiter of experience and would be just the man to ‘hove the queer,” as the saying goes, The officer was, ofcourse, roughly dressed, and acted the Part to the vest ofnis ubility, Having every con- fidence in bis iriend, McGuire subsequentiy imtro- duced the new comer to Maher, irom whom he purcrased lour ditferens lots of counterieit moneys, The frst purcnase being Ninety-nintn street und First avenue. The officer then made tne ac- quaintance cf McGrath, from whom he also pur- chased several lots of $10 und $20 at a time. olicer had provided himself with good trade dol- lars and baif dollars, and when requested by any member of the “gang” to pass tke counterfeit in- Variably tendered the real money, returning witu the change to the counterfeiters, it was in tals’ Way the officer got up quite a reputation asa passer of pad money, the consequence being that bis fame attracted the attention of severu) coun- serieiters who were anxious to secure the ser- vices of sucu au exper’, He met Tague and Boyle, from whom he Teceived counterfeit wouey, and 89 carried out bis plan of @etection. Meanwhile two other Officers of the Secret Service force were ty close attendance on their brother tn disguise and uad casion to Withess the operations. Among other things they saw the uliegea counterfeiters at sev- eral places, rubbing their money With aroetta, iu order that it migut the more closely resemble the genuine articie. It Was in this manner the trap was laid, Officer Drummond all the while re- maiming with the crowd and watching their move- ments. Ihe oMeer stated terday tat over 2,000 of these bugus doliars wn@ ball dollars have beea in circulation Jor months,, having been pussed chiefly in suivons, and thas aoubdtiess tue parties Dow under arrest could be readily ident fied, It was alleged, moreover, that mMaher was ® counterfelver of thirty years’ Standing, and that he is how unver indictment in England, and tnat his counterfeits were 50 good that ius tmitauon bali sovereigns were never detected until they Were sent to the Miut to be melred. ‘he persons when brought up yesterday made no statement, and after the lormal charge had been tendered Commissioner Shields held them Im $5,000 each to aT examination om Friday next at tweive clock, MAILING OBSCENE LITERATURE.

THE LIGHT OF REASON PUT OUT. A Flight from Cruelty to an En- counter with Rats. Dunmoneg, Pa, July 27, 1875. Through the brutality of a miner in the employ of the Pennsylvania Coal Company at this place a mule boy in the same mine was recently put to so terrible au experience in one of the company’s abandoned mines that he has become, it 1s feared, hopelessly insane, and las been sent to the luna- Uc asylum in Dauville, Montour county. ‘The miner’s name is James Barrett. The buy is the son of a poor widow, and altnough but jour- teen years of age contributed largely to ber sup- port. tis Dame is James Gallagher. The man Barrett, it seems, was in the habit of abusing tne Jad in u most shameiul manver, having no appar- ent cause save a meré personal antipathy. Tne boy stood iu mortai tear of Barrett. A weuk or sO ago the latter had been tyraumizing over young Gallagner with more than usual cruelty, and finally swore that if be did not quit bis sight at once he would kil! him, at the same time running toward the boy with bis pick raised as if to strike him, Gallagher ran screaming away from nis persecutor, and made directly into the abandoned chamber, never stopping to look where he was, in bis frignt only tainking of getting out ofthe reach of Barrett, Aiterrauning for some time the boy stopped, aud for the first saw that he was in the worked-out mine. Even then terror of his cruel taskwaster Was uppermost in bis mind, and 1t was not until the little mine inmp on his cap began to giow dim and nally went entirely out that he awoke to the horror of nis situation. THE ABANDONED MINE. If there ig @ chamber of horrors any where In the world 1¢ i3 & Coai mine that has been worked out and deserted, Its iabyrinth of silent corridors responus to the least souna with the most demoni- ucal echoes, and noxious gases generuie in the pools of simy water that ex udes srom the walls and drips down upon the slippery floor. Pitialls = diled With Water that accumulates wituout interrup- lion abound in these noisome halls, and myriads of buugry rats, bold und even aggressive, haunt the desolate chambers hundreds 01 teet below the eurth’s surface, and over ull the most oppressive darkness. There is no darkness like that in a mine. It 18 so dense and heavy that one feels its weight upon mim as if he were beneath fathoms of water, und the eye does not become accustomed to tis pull sufi. ciently to penetrate it iu tne slightest degree.
