A NEW TRICK.

The gold coins of England have suffered debase-
ment for some time past by new and ingenious de-
vice, which is successful TO oblige the govern
ment to order new coinage. The cheat is effected
in the following manner From the rim towards the
of sovereign half sovereign, several noles
drilled with very fine instrument and the vacan
cies filled up with inferior metal, to deceive
the most experienced judges. BY this process sove-
reign is rendered in many instances not worth more
than lis and half sovereign not than IS. I'd.
or 9s The master of the mint and the assayer are
busy engaged in witnessing many experiments, with
view prevent the abstraction of the gold taking
place without immediate detection. Workmen have
commenced casting the coinage, which will be
shortly issued. The expense will be very great but
government has been obliged to incur it, in conse-
quence ofthe system having much injured the credit
and confidence in the value Of British gold not only
at home, but on the Continent.

RAILWAYS AND STEAM POWER 5000 YEARS Ago.
The LOST ARTS THE ANCIENT EGYpTIANs-If the
Thebans, 1900 years before Christ knew less in some
departments of useful knowledge than ourselves they
also in others knew more They possessed the art of
tempering copper tools SO as to cut the hardest gran
tie with the most minute and brilliant precision This
art we have lost. Again, what mechanical means
had they to raise and fix the enormous imposs on the
lntels of their temples at Karnac' Architects now
confess that they could not raise them by the usual
mechanical powers. Those means must therefore
be put to the account of the "os arts.n That they
were familiar with the principle of Artesan wells,
has been lately proved by engineering Investigations
carried on while boring for water in the Great Oasi.
That they acquainted with the principle of the
railroad is obvious, that to say, they had artificial
causeways levelled, direct and grooved he grooves
being Amounted with OIL for the conveyance from
great distances of blocks of stone entire
stone temples and coosal statues of half the height
of the Monument. Remnants of iron, it is said have
lately been found in these grooves. Finally, M. Ar
ago has argued that they not only possessed knowl
edge of steam power, which they employed in the
cavern mysteries of their Pagan freemasonry, (the
Oldest in the world, of which the pyramids were the
lodges but that the modern steam engine is derived
through Solomon de Caus, the predecessor of Wor-
chester, from the invention of Hero the Egyptian
engineer.

(To be continued.)

The Maryland Legislature adjourned sine die on
Thursday last The committee on engrossed bills
reported that they had examined 1896 bills and 50
solutions. Among the bills passed an act "to
provide for specie payments by the Banks" The act
requires all the banks in the State before the
first Monday of May next to pay and continue to pay
demand all their several and respective liabilities
in specie. The residue of the act, besides tempo
rary authority to the banks to issue small bills for
circulation, consists of provisions for enforcing the
principal enactment. bill to prohibit individuals
from issuing any thing a currency. bill raising
the State tax from twenty to twenty-five cents in the
hundred dollars. The bill laying a tax emolu-
ments, salaries, &c, and another laying tax on
ground rents also passed 1t is supposed that these
additional taxes will supply the Treasury with the
means of paying the interest the State debt. No
bill for the completion of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal, to afford relief to the holders of the scrip
Of the company passed.--Bah. Sun.

THE GENERAL POST OFFICE.

The Post Office Department is one of the most in
teresting branches of government 1t IS the sure
and almost mysterious agent that carries the ntelli-
gence Of the country lakes and our rivers,
and along our highways and by-ways. Indeed there
is no point distant, yet retired, as not to
bear the imprint of the postboy's track. One might
suppose that in the ten thousand routes that cross
each other at every point of the compass, that
great accidents might occur to prevent the regular
delivery of the mail. Yet it goes on with the regu-
larty of the clock, meeting but few or no interrupt
tons. The post boy is ever on the wing. There is
moment Of time in which his flight the
try is wholly interrupted. Night and day he spurs
ahead, either by horse power or steam power, or
travels foot some lone Indian path in the ter
ritories, bearing the mail upon his person. In this
way every is under deep obligations to the Post
Office Department. The Government itself is large
" concerned in its wide reaching Journeys 1t gives
speedy information of all matters worthy of note in
the nation. The condition of our whole border re-
gion despatchedto the President by every mail that
leaves it. And this is effected at little no cost to
the Government
The letter and paper postage received from ind
viduas has from the origin of the Government up to
the present day. with but two small appropria-
tons from the United States Treasury, paid for the
Of all the letters that have passed to and
fro throughout the Union. 1t pays the salary of the
Postmaster General and all his deputies, and his in
mum rable clerks 1t pays all the mail contractors.
In word, this fund not only maintains the Post
Office Department, but 1t carries the letters of the
President and all the Heads of Departments and diff
ferent bureaus, Free 1t transmits all the letters and
vouminous documents Of the Senators and Represen
tatives in Congress also free of cost Such inst
tuition would hardly imagine could be managed
and controlled by single head re ding at Washing
ton. And yet this is the fact. AT all times and OH
all occasions it has been admitted that the chief Of
the Post Office Department ought TO be possessed of
the best business habits, and mind of high range
of intellectual powers
Without undertaking. those who have gone before
him, think we may say, in great truth, that Gov.
Wickliffe has every qualification for this emnently
responsible Office. Under his administration of the
Department, may expect to its duties executed
with The fidelity. 1t is in fact Office that
may be said 10 belong to The people, as it is executed
without receiving its funds from the National Trea-
sury, and that the people may well look into with
searching scrutiny.
