Facts Concerning Gold.

When refined from ali impurities and
alloys Of inferior metals, gold is denoul-
mated pure, or gold of twenty-four carats,
this icing the standard of purity requir-
ed at the Mint and BY dealers in gold
In reality, however, there is no gold so
very pure but that it wants quater OF
carat of this standard. The carat is d.
yided into one.fourth, oDe-eigbth, one
sixteenth, and one thirty second, these
degrees serving to distinguish the greater
or less quantity of alloy therein contain
ed. For instance, gold of twenty-five
carats has two parts Of silver, or one
part of silver and one of copper, and
twenty-five of fine gold; that of twenty
three carats has half a part, or half
twenty fourth of each.
A single grain of gold may be beat in
to an extent of several square feet. and
yet the leaf remain SO compact as not to
transmit the rays Of light; and DIR. Hal
lev found that small cube ofgold, whose
side is the l.l00 part of an inch only
contains two million four hundred and
thirty three thousand visible parts

Our Indebtedness.

According to the New York Tra5une
the amount of our existing interest bear
ing obligations to Europe, cannot fall
short of five hundred millions of dollars
These figures include railroad, State, mu-
nicipal. and Federal recurities. 1t is the
easiest thing in the world to buy. when
our credit is good, but not so convenient
sometimes to pay. Our importers and
others imn diately interested, should ex-
ercise a little caution. The country is
rich in resources, and with the exercise OF
ordinary prudence, high condition OF
prosperity may be anticipated for many
years to come But it is possible for U,
to go little too fast, and so bring on an.
other smash.up in financial affairs, which
will retard the growth of our country for
years.

not appear. The delay in the attack
upon the Piedmontese forces is attributed
to the fact that the roads on the Austrian
line Of march have been broken up and
the bridges destroyed; but the first con-
siderable hostilities must have taken place
before the 7th inst, when the Canada

With regard to the alleged alliance be-
