QUEER-MAKERS. Cmm0 of CMak Cwlfiw, Was Jwswrtf 0ifH 4a JeutsetHs, Cmmght bp T4mU VU Jfeeite. TBS DETTCTITES' TaTXEXT telegram was received from Uobfle, yesterday announcing tb emptor of Oliver and Thos. A. Bohannon and Jaa.

HaOo-well, three counterfeiters, by Chief Detective Wild, of the JTew Or lean district. Thaeaa is a particularly mteresttng one, as they war residents of this city, and operated extensively this vidnltyT 8om time ego If. Q. Bowers, Chief -operator of the Secret service, of the Louisville district, formed a suspicion that and Spragu were money. A quantity of spurious quarters, halves and dollars were being circulated throughout the city, which caused the otS-eers considerable trouble.

They were a vary perfect imitation, and a great many parties were fooled on them. It was thought that the counterfeiters had a den near this city, and the work of ferreting It out was Bohannon lived at THlrd and Market, over Levy's clothing store, and Operator Bowers detailed a man to watch the house. For three week every movement that Bohannon and Spragu made they were shadowed, and finally tracked to their dens. On Market place, in Port Fulton, a little town near Jeffer-sonville, stands a large, old two-tory frame house, belonging to a man named Raines, who is a brother-in-law of Bohannon 's. In this boos ths counterfeiters did their work, and nightly they tolled over th molds, coining the mennr which they circulated in every direction.

The officers had as yet no direct proof, however, and a force of men was detailed to watch the bouse every night. It waa so situated (being in a Urge vacant spaceV that -they could not get near it, and tbey bad to be in wait at some distance. Every evening just after dark the counterfeiters would cross over from this side of the river, taking with them a package of metal purchased in a hardware store here, which tber converted into money. Thomas Bohannon waa this A urn in Mobile, where be lived, but about th first of month Tie appeared in this city. Tha officers right! supposed that bis brother and S'pragn bad become suspicious, and wrote to bin to secure them a suitable place in that city to continue their operations, and they would remove there; The officers were contented, however, to abide their time in order to get a certain ease, and made no attempt to arrest them, merely doubling their Tigilaace.

On Sept. 28 Operator Bower saw tbem receive a trunk from toe bouse, and putting it into a wagon, drove to the L. and V. depot, where it was checked to Mobile. He took a description of th trunk, together with the number of the cbe.k, and detailed a man to follow it and sea where waa removed to.

Shortly before the train -started from the depot- the two brothers and Bprsgue arrived and boarded it, the officer following at their heels. Be kept tbem constantly under bis eye until they arrived in Mobile without attracting suspicion, and followed tbem to the house there, which had been put in readiness for tbem. He then reported tb result to his superior in this city and awaited farther orders. Mobil Is out of operator Bower's district and as he was very busy, be wrote to to Washington to know whether would continue th case and arrest the parties, or place th matter In tb hands of Wilds, chief operator of the New Orleans district. He was instructed to do the latter, and accordingly sent all the necessary information to the oificer.

ttiere. On October 11 bis letter rechod Wilds, and yesterday the whole gang was arrested. Oliver Bohannon attempted to escape, but was wounded and captured. Tb manner in Twhfch operator Bowers worked up the case was admirable. Th officers bad all the neoessary information nearly a month ago, but tbey waited patiently until th matter was folly developed, and there could be no possible nus-take, when the men were arrested, mcmxmjc J.

They have now a scheme which tbey will bring up before the next Legislature, which they think will one mot cause their grand stand to be crowded, their pool-rooms to be filled, and the best horses of the world to fly around taelr race-track.

May the very best results grow out of what has been don and is yet to be accomplished in this direction. In connection with th movements on hand I desire to call attention to tb very important matter of the present system of teaching la our schools generally. Teachers are receiving usually, I believe, fair wages for th work tbey undertake to do, but let us see if they are really teachers." I. notice on our streets children from six years of age to sixteen and sigh teen plodding along to the school-house in the morning with an arm full of books; these books ar carried bom every day and back to school in the morning. What for! That tbe children mav study at' borne.

Tbey hav from four to six or seven studies such, and ar expected to learn these lessons at bom. A great burden is imposed on tb parents or guardians of the children to teach tbem tn lessons. The little fellows are put to their books soon after getting home, and som of tbem ar kept at work until a late aour at night. Hour after hour the parenSs, especially tbe mother, will be compelled to give attention to tbe children in order that uy may know tbe lessons, to prevent punishment of some sort to tb child on th Tb main duty of the teacher, it seems. Is to hear tit lessons; the teaching is don at home.

Th system is wrong. Tb children ar kept hi school from fiv to seven hours a day, while the teacher is bearing the various learned as home, and then th child is expected and does study from three to six hours more' after ieaving tb school-room that day. Th result is the child has too much to do, 'bates booiu, and frequently goes to school with a heavy beart and aohtng head. and alarmed because tbe li na are not known. Isubmit If toes casidren ar not.

required to give more time or attention to their books than most of our pro! radon! ma grv to theirs, or tb teachers give to tb children! From fiv to seven hours is enough tun in twenty-four for any child between tb ages of sue and sixteen to be kept at study, and this should be in tha scbous-room, under tna ear and instruction of tb teacher. Lop off the great number of text-books, and tire the cmld just what it ean master in the schoolroom; no Leave th books in th desa turn th child knee and let it go bom happy, to play or attend to such maars aa msy be required of it at home; sleep soaodiy without dreaming of books and feuoas and punishment. Tbe bttle fellow than goes to shoot Xresa and happy and willing study and learn, and tb teacher teaches as ba it employed to do, and the labor of teaching is taken off of the bom circle. I call th attention of th parents and tb School Trustees to this important subject, and beg tbem, for th sake of a thorough and successful improvement to th children mentally and physically, to look into this matter and see if my suggestions ar not good; and if worthy of consideration, correct th evils and do th right. Permit to say I would not do any teacher a wrong, but tt la a fact there is too bttle teaching in th school-room, too much at borne and tb children too much to do.

This rule of teaching does nos apply to Louisville alone, but, so far as I am Informed, throughout tb State. Will th Superintendent of Pub-' ho Instruction look into this and suggest some plan of improvement! Gaxx Cult Barrs.

"Watt a minute till I get through with this rush, and I'll tell you all I know." "Louwvill isn't a great place for -mixed and high-priced drinks," he remarked a little later, whil mopping oft tb counter. "Somehow or other the people dont take to them her Ilk they do tn other cities.

New Orleans and New York ar the boss place far a fancy mixer, and a good on can get a big nam and a big trad. can't do so much here where most customers prefer plain drinks butstill tbe lioe isgood andth business a growing "It would be hard to name the moss popular fancy drink, bat, I reckon, more customers call for whisky-sour than anything else. It' simple and easily mda. Cocktails are drank by nearly everybody, bat they don't count. Tbe turf -stake is a rather, new drink, and very popular, especially among sporting-men, for whom tt was got np.

Then, we bar gold and silver fizzes, which sell bettcr'n hofceakes; sherry chickens, which our customers like more than fried ones; eye-openers, brandy-smashes, Manhattan cocktails and hundreds of others. A popular drink among ths young bloods jat now is th cousss-cafe. It's an after-dinner, and is mad of brandy and something else which I won't teU. It's mighty fine. Then there's the knickerbire, brandy daisy and egg flip, which Som fellows like so well they won't take any other.

I sell whisky, flzxa, too, to lots of drinkers. Raspberry sharps, hot gins, gin slings and a few others about make np tbe lit of tbe standard fancies, though toere's thousands of others which no bar-keeper can keep the run "Fashion change a good deal, and so do people's likes and uulikes. A man wid begin ln uking one kind which be likes so well that be quits every other, but it doesn't last long, la tiiree mouUu he won't taste it, bat will be just as- crazy after -a new on. Host very body's this way. Then, are standard drinks, thoueb.

such as I've told you of which will always be popular. They're pretty ninch the same all overthe world, and are made nearly alike. There's only one. right way to mix 'em, though tt isn't every man by a jugfull who knows that. I never chang my way of mixin' at all when I strike exactly th riht combination.

'Different peopi. want different drinks. I don't offer a dud the same drink I would gambler, and be won't take tbe same as a iurfmaa. Generally it's young men who want fancies. After one gets old he takes a straight drink either whisky, brandy or wine, dependin' on bow he's been brough up.

It's tbe same way with bard drinkers. Mixed drinks -sin's strong enough and they quit 'em. Yon never ee an old toper call for one. Some men drink toddies all tb time, but I don't call a toddy n.laney drink, porting men who want something hightoned and- costly are our best customer. They hoar of a thing and they'll have it no matter what it costs, the more the better.

Young aoeiety men are nexS bee. Business men, if tbey ar young, are good. Professional men take straight drinks, generally whisky, brandy or win. Tbey ar no good for a Tber ain't many women who like these fancies," ha remarked with- an expression' of disgust. "Tbey generally drink champagne, which they think is more tony and costs more.

8ome actresses lik cocktails, but they can't appreciate a fancy mixed lik a man can. don't ever have any of tbem bare for customers, bat sometimes they send around." "I've invented lot of drinks. Sometime a customer gets up one which gets popular. One of the most prominent young socisty gents in the city fixed up two which be calls th 'Oscar Wilde' and the 'Jersey They're mixed drinks. and sine began iota of other customers want 'em.

He says an eye-opener ain't a marker to a Jersey Lily for wakin' one up. Us introduced 'em about th time th aesibetio crass waa brought bar by Oscar Wilde. They're tb only drinks which any of the dudes have ever got np worth anything. "About tn bighest-priosd drinks i sell much of are miik-ana-brandy punches, which ara- worth fifty cent. Couaan rsfes are twenty -fir cents a piece.

I've got plain brandy at fifty cents a drink, and it's the finest in the city. Tber ain't many customers who want to pay over twenty-five cents. for anything. (Straight drinks ar what I lik to sell beat. Tbey rr no trouble, and more profitable.

A fancy drink takes time and a good man to make It, and then tt has to have tbe best goods." -t A good mixer is always sore of a good salary if be keeps himself sober. Boine bars pay their best men as high as $150 a month, but there ar probably none such in this city, and tber ar only a few good compounders of fancy drinks. AS AQUATIC SICXCLXi A Hevatty la tba Way mi Maria Tber is a strange-loo king craft at the Louisville Boat Club, at the foot of Third street, which is tha property of Mr. Albert 8. Dietxman, of Uds city.

It Is what hi known as the marine bicycle, and is the only specimen in the West. It was invented only a few months ago and has hitherto only been used on the Eastern rivers. On two long beams arranged as sled-runners, some twenty feet in length, and bound together by iron stays, site a mam of wood and Iron that very much resemble bicycle. Tb pedals are there, tba seat tt there, the handles are there; If -one only saw this portion of the boat be would think after a careless glance that it was merely a bicycle. Tbe pedals ar connected with an iron road, which turns a screw at tbe end, so that as the pedal Is moved by tha- feet it cansoa th screw to revolve and drive, tbe strange- looking craft forward.

Tb bandies on which th occupant of th. boat leans are also connected with aa iron rod, -with a rodder at the other extremity. A man can sit in tb little seat, and, by simplv turning tb pedaisydrivebis boat along at tbe rate of eight miles an hour. Tber is also a staff for a sail to be spread from. Tbe man who rides in the boat is two foet abovs the surface of tbe water, and, under no ponibUity, ean be be upeet, for there- nv no bottom to tbe boat; tt is rirapiy two beams bound together, and these beams ar fUled with sealed air compartment.

Tbe boat was tried yesterday, and although to man managed it was perfectly green, he had no trouble in working it satisfactorily. Tnere are a number of mgenioua arrangements about tbe bunt; an awnmgraa be spread over bead, tn seat ean be raised or lowered, according as a man is long or short of limb; all tb parts of th boat can be taken to rjoces, and many other such eon-vaniencaa.

K01I0RE STREET-CARSL A Meh-mm SnnS ywrwss Dawynus Alt la rAef Ciy XvwmI Mmm Xm JisUii a a Xlsws. fXlTEHEICE, STEED, O0XF0KT, EOqVOXxV "I wished to see you to xplau ahdsscure your eo-opsration in a scbm that will rev-lutioulxs socity in th matter of travel and transportation about th said a little, shriveied-up man, with a ona-glaSs-out pair of spectacles on his nos and som queer-looking faistrumsnt in his hand as cams hurriedly up to th sciantiflo editor last night. "It will do away entirely 'with stress-cars, backs, coupes, earriagea, buggies and everything else in that 1 hare applied for the patents, and I now want to organise a company to put th thing into operation im-sMdiately. Thers are hundreds of rich man lying by, as It Were, watching for profitable investments, and a mere mention of tb thing in the CotnuKn-JocaiiAi.

would bring me ail the capital I wans. If yon will do. -this for I will give you a shar wbenth company has beea organimd." 4 He waa asked to explain bis wcnderfql fat vantion. we. will use the curbstone Instead of the middl of the street.

8ay this th gutter stone, began, drawing his chair up and making a mark across th aditor'atabl as an illustration, "flight up over this ston we will run a bar of steel which ws win call th track. This bar will thin end will stand on its edge, so' as to giv as littla frio-Uon as possible. This' track will follow th curbing around every square tn tbe city, having connecting tracks across the streets in every direction. Underneath this track we will put a wire rope Which will run on pulley wheels at every turn. This track androp win commence and end at the same point af- -ter having traversed every foot of curbing in the city, making one continuous "round, as yon wid understand.

Now, at aoonveruent point on this round purpose rJ-ntlng a very powerful engin have been considering th utility of th' water-powar of the tails', for this purposs, but haven't folly mad np my mind as yet), which is to furnUh the rootiva-power. While the track, of course, is to be station-ary, th wir rope will pass around tha power-wheel of the engine and will thus be kept constantly moving round and round. So much for th track and power. On ths track win run a chair which I hav Invented for tb purpose. This chair will sit on tb steel rail with a small wheel, which rests just under the center running on tbe edge.

From the bottom of the chair extends an arm, at the'end of which is a clamp (another ona of my inventions). That clamp, a th will of th operator, will drop down' and grasp the moving rope, and immediatoly the chair and its occupant ar spinning away. To arrange tor tb guidance of tb chair, I hav attached two half-curve arms to extend out in front. On approaching a comer aR tha rider has to do Is to touch a spring that will rales tb arm on tb opposite sid of tb track from the direction hrwhich he wishes to torn, and tbe arm that remains down, working on the inside curv of the track, win guid him aroondj something tba bum plan as railroad switch. Understundl When the rider wishes to stop he just raises the clamp from tbe moving rope, and tt ie'dooe.

Row, there is the whole thing in a nutshell. Too understand tbe scheme, as I can see, and I -know you can't help but loin me in pronouncing It the grandest Invention of tbe century. But you may recognise all tba beauties of tbe scheme, I will r-Mn sotmjoC its advantages over our preseut slow and uncomfortable methods of traveling -about the Instead of paying a nickel for a ride, as people do now, we will rent our chairs out by tb month, each subscriber having th axcluaiv us of a chair. That no one may steal the. chair or take a tret ride, I have been forced to employ my inventive acuities again.

Bus I bav proved snyseU fully equal to tn emergency. In th rear of the chair, extending along tha track when running and acting as a balance ie another arm. When tb rider steps out of tb chair be has only to lift tb track-clasp and swing, tbe chair around, tbe and of tbi rear arm being fastened underneath the track and acting as a hinge; thos th chair is thrown off th track and out of tbe way of tb travelers. When tt is swung off the -track it can not be put back without tbe key, which tbe owner carries, the hinge being self-locking. Thus, yon see, tt ia absolutely safe.

When th rider wishes to return, he simply takes tbe chair In his band (it weighs only about ten pounds) and carries It across to tb other pavement, where the -rope ia runniag in th opposite direction to that of this aide, clasps tt on th track, jumps on, catches tbe rope, and away he spins 1 To avoid the shock of a sudden tb rope clasp baa been so arranged on a strong spring, which gives liberally and allows a gradual mcreaso of speed. Of course, when the rope fa un- -clasped, the momentum of the chair will cans a gradual loss of speed. You see bav bod an eye to every convenience, and flatter myself that I have overlooked nothing whlca could be a source of Now as So th part which will interest th capitalists ths money that ie to fee mad. Tber are, in Louisville, people who pay ten cents a day. or $3 a month, street car fare.

We will furnish a chair for II per montn, or one third of the fare paid on street cars. This will giv us a revenue of per month from th patrons of tbe street-cars. Added to this will be an that hi now paid to hacks, coupes, carriage and th like, which will mako another bandsom sum. besides, doctors, collectors, and others who keep buggies or horses; will do away with them auu adopt our road. If nothing else, our speed wfll be sufficient to secure their patronage, as will run our rope at the rate of a mila in about four, minute.

This is strong point with Americans, who count time money. In this scheme we combine convenience, speed, comfort and cheapoeu a combination that -is bound to win -tb public! Tb laboring man will no mors tramp wearily homeward after his bard day's toil, nor the shop-girl stagger through tb mud and darkness after standing thirteen hours humoring tb pats of fashiool No, sirl It will be a priceless boon to weary humanity, and aa exbaustiass mine for ourselves. Think of tt ,100,000, at tb very least, per month Income, and 1200 per month wid fully cover all expenses after tha -road is erected 1 No mora waiting for street cars; no more wading through tb mod when they don't happen to stop on the crossing; no more whistling, whooping and running after a driver who i wilfully deaf; no mor jumping on and off Into slush i get on or off from th pavement, and our car is always ready. Ho more telephoning for a hack or coupe, and then cursing because it doesn't com. Jaran into your cnair, pus on tb clamp, and on? you go at tb rat of fifteen miles aa hour to anyjrt of th city.

Lm't it a glorious scbeuter shouted tb little man, uancing around th room In mad glee. "Msntion it la your paper, sir; that is ail I ask! Tb sauoey ie weitiaa- to put it up in day. eo to spesk, and 1 shall immediately proceed to hav a charter granted. Why, ii won't be three months from the time th first chair is rua in Louisville before every town of any size la tb country will adopt th system I And then tb royalties 1 Why, air, our Income won't be less than a million dollars a day! Give it a puff, good punt, and I won't forget you I Good bye, I will be in again la a few days if I can poskibly get tune," and the httl man rusned out to buttonhole a city odfcuU."
