DR.. Livingston and the Coachman.

III. Livingston and the C0achmaR.
Long before railroads were invented,
the slowmoving coach and muddy
| highways often tested the patience of
| both traveller and driver. As the Doc
tor was passing from New York to Phi
ladel phia, there CHANGED to be in the
stage several fashionable young gentle,
men, whose dress was better than their
principles. As the sequel proves, they,
with some of the same character in our
day, might learn reverence towards SUI
periors from the youthful Turk. They
stopped at all inn for the purpose of
changing horses, and to obtain dinner
These rude young gentlemen conspired
secretly to defraud the reverend divine
Of his meal. The moment the coach
arrived, they FASTENED with all speed to
the table, and harriedly swallowed their
dinner. The Doctor, through age,
moved but slowly, and had barely time
to invoke blessing and begin his meal,
when they arose, and called loudly upon
the driver that they were ready to start,
and the time was up call aboard !"
they Justify screamed The driver was
in the dining room. The Doctor saw
immediately their object, and their tri-
umph at the thought of cheating him
out of his meal. With inimitable grace
and kindness, the man with silver hair
turned to the driver, and said
81 am an old man, and hungry, and
can only eat very slow; will you be SO
good as to give me time to get some
dinner %
The generous natura under a rough
exterior yielded to the appeal, and he
said
eyes, sir; you may take as much
time as you wish"
"Thank you, sir; I am glad that
there as one gentleman IN Our number"
The youths skunk away one after an
other, feeling that a poor hostler whom
they despised, had administered to
them whitening rebuke for their rude
ness.
MUTILATED CoIN.-lt has just been
discovered in New Y ork that there is a
quantity Of gold coin in circulation
which is not Of the required weight,
five dollar pieces weighing nineteen
grains less than the coin ought to weigh
Externally the coin is that which is
coined at the mint; but the fraud is
in the following ingenious
manner The coin is placed on a lathe
and made to revolve. A keen, narrow
chisel is set against the edge, and az
the coin revolyes the chisel turns out
the inside of it, and penetrates nearly
to the centre, leaving but two thin
shells, as it were, connected at the CEN
tire. The cavity is then filled up with
base metal, the coin is milled over
again and the edge galvanized, show
ing as perfect a specimen of work in
fraud as was over conceived or execut- |
ed. Another mode of mutlating coin,
which we see IS coming into practice,
is to punch a hole in them or file off the
edges. These practices are of course
obvious to examine coins presented
The way to stop these practices is for
every shopkeeper and dealer of every
kind, to reject all coins which have
been mutilated in the least degree This
would leave such coins in the hands Of
the persons who were guilty of the mu-
tilation, and b. an effectual bar to the
rascality which was meant to be prac-
tised by the clipping.

THE CANAL QUESTION.

Half century ago when the fu'are greatness OF
the West had grown from prediction to certainty,
but before single thread Of that gigantic ;obweb
of iron, which pow covers it, had been spun, the
Mississippi was looked upon as the natural and the
only highway by which her products could reach
the markets Of the world. Her port was to be
upon the Gulf of Mexico and not upon the Atlantic,
and the carry ing trade between the West aud the
asst WAS TO be, not by l,nd, but by sea. But in
due season channel was opened which was 10
tap that fertile region and make an outlet for the
mighty internal commerce which has since exceeded
all that the most enthusiastic prophets of those
early days predicted Of the coming prosperity OF
the country. The rdicule and opposition encoun-
tered by the original projectors of the Canal by
which the Atlantic and the Lakes were TO be
united and the universal enthusiasm that at length
halle their success, together make lesson which
il is well not 10 forget Ii is not merely that the
work was gigantic, and that the idea. and the
courage and power which inside it reality, we're
great; but that the results which have grogn from
it have done 90 much to create an empire in
shorter space Of time than empire ever grew be-
fore He is fool, say, the proverb, who curses
the bridge which carried him over He certainly Is
q greater fool who curses the bridge which he has
no. yet done with. The current which, it once Was
thought, could fod DO outlet except 10 the Gulf OF
Mexico, vas turned eastward by the Erie Canal
The bed of that channel is not yet dry. The iron
WAYS, taking the same direction, aud competing
with it for the trade which it, in 50 large measure,
created have not drained i! Of that trsffc, and, If
the people are wise will never be permitted TO do
So at least by any other than nstura AMI inevitable
causes. 1.-THE time shall ever come when the Erie
! Canal, fnisbed and out Of debt, shall, 10 fa
competition with other Highways, become
s,sgnsnt ditch useless for service, burden
to the State and clog upon commerce then Will Ii
/ be time enough to consider how it best can be got
nd ~, whether il shall be made adjunct to some
private enterprise, or filed in and covered up Like
any other costly nuisance. But We hsve not yet
reached that period in its history. The commerce
Of ancient Egypt moved through her canals; from
that earliest dawn of civilization, down through the
middle ages, TO the present moment in England,
where trade has reached it, fullest and broadcast
development, these artificial rivers have been aud
are Alutd As indispensable to successful traffic Our
civilization and our commerce have not yet P.ssed

Tomorrow Gov. Inland Hall and the other in

Mr.. Cassidy had the letter under pledge Of -

beginning of the evil, and if Mr. Cassidy wishes to
clear himself entirely, his explanations must 80

or more copies had got into circulation among his
intimate personal friends, the members OF tho
