GoLD CONS AND RAG NoTEs-Will the Globe
explain to US how it is that so much difficulty is
found in putting the gold coins into circulation
and keepiag them there. and yet that the rag notes
of the Corporation Of Alexandria and George
town, should so readily make their way, into COM
mon use? Upon the principles advanced some
times in the Globe, there is something mysterious
in this, and VIC Should like an explanation.
The Globe told us, some time since, that a
million of dollars in specie had been put into cir
culaton IN this district and that it had taken the
place of the rag notes Of the corporations. Now
we want to know what has become Of this specie
and how the notes have got into circulation in
place of the silver dollars and the gold eagles,
about which the Globe has been talking so
much? This was one ofthe Glorious Fruits OF
the Experiment"
But Monsieur Tonson has come again, and
the corporation bills are edgng in among their
rivals. To convince the people that the gold
currency would soon make its way, the Globe
told us that the jackson men love gold" We
should like to know if any Of them condescend
to touch the corporation bills.-T'elegraph.

A Curious HlsToRIcAL FAcT.-The first rough
model OF steamboat made by Fulton, in this
city, was cut out Of common single, shaped
like mackerel, with the paddles placed fur
Their in front than behind, like the fins OF a
fish. The paddle wheel had been first put in
the rear, on the sculling principle, but was aban-
doned. on consulting with MIR. Greenwood, the
well known Ingenious dentist OF this city, now
deceased in whose possession the model remain
ed for many years. Old Admiral Landais,
whom many of our readers recollect as the enc
my of Paul Jones, was also in frequent consul
taton with Greenwood at the time. He recon-
mended the paddle wheel to be placed in the
stem, and to be moved by tunnel-shaped sail,
which was to catch the wind even when it blew
directly ahead, and thus communicate the pow
err by reaction to the wheel.-NeW York Star.
