DOUBTFUL co1S.-counterfeit quarter eagles
which almost defy detection, are in circulation
in Now York. They are said to be made from
genuine New Orleans Mint die, stolen some
years since, and bears the go" under the Ia
Ions Of the eagle. Professor TORY, Assayer,
at New York, has analysed the coin, and
finds that it is made of casing of pure gold
filed with silver, and probably platina, to
increase the weight. The weight is so SIC
grains, which is only four grains light, and the
casing of gold weighs 3O-1-1O grains 1t il
therefore worth 81 II in gold, and cents in
silver, or 1.25 in raw mate, ial, beside the Ia.
Dor of making. The maker and vender could
not, therefore, realize more than 81 each
which would seem too small profit, except
that tho counterfeit is so we'll done that there
Is but little risk of detection.

by way of illustrating to the comprehension Of
all our Atlantic-slope fellow-citiaens the gross
evils of the old system. Government, in in
sisting in the new treaties on being left free to
Juege how the money coming to the Indians
shall be expended for their benefit, have laid the
foundation for the regeneration OF the remain
ing tribes, if this wise provision be as wisely ad-
ministered, as made. There's the rub, however.
Ii the Government, in any of its departments
connected with Indian affairs, shall lack On.
ergy OF integrity of purpose in the administra.
ton of these new treaties, tho promise to the
Indian will be kept only to the ear. Unfor
tunatsly for the purpose Of those here to deal
fairiywith their charge, of late years too many
OF their civil and military employees in the ia,
West become bitten by the mania for specula.
tlon raging there 30 universally. Those who
have succumbed to that mania should be di ;.
charged, or at least removed from their pres
emit stations, or the wise precautions of the
new treaties will be powerless for good results.
No specializing public officer can be relied on
to protect the Indians in their rights, whom the
latter come in conflict with schemes Of profit
by the invasion of those rights, in which he is
interested. We arc impelled to the duty Of
thus plainly calling the attention of those
composing the Government here to the neces-
nty OF keeping their eyes wide open at this
time, by the rumors of the improper specula-
tons Of all sorts of people, including Govern
ment ofdoers, which are providing thick and
last upon u.s. We know we'll that it is

LAZY BEAVERS.

1t is curious fact, says trapper, that
among the beavers, there are some that are
lazy, and will not work at all, either TO
assist in building lodges or dams, or to cut
down wood for their winter stock. The
industrious ones beat these fellows, and
drive them away; sometimes cutting OF a
part of their tail, and Otherwise iniuring
them. The "paressoux" are more easily
caught in traps than others, and The trap
per rarely misses one of them. They
only dig a hole from the wafer, running
obliquey towards the surface of tho
ground twenty-five or thirty feet, from
which they emerge, when hungry, to OBJ
tain food, returning to the same hole with
the wood they procure, TO eat The bark
They never form dams, and are somelimes
to the number of five or seven together;
all OF males. 1t is not at all improbable
that these unfortunate fellows have, as
is the case with the males Of many spe-
ces Of animals, been engaged in fighting
with others of their sex, aud after being
conquered and driven from the lodge, have
become idlers from kind Of necessity
The working beavers, on the contrary, as
soqiate, males, females and young togeth-
