New CouNrEarET-Beware Of the
counterfeits on the 500 notes Of the
Louisiana State Bank, Of which j. ".
Lapeyre, Esq, is President.
Two were attempted to be passed at
the bank yesterday, but were quickly
detected. The officers Of the bank r.
port The cuUutcrieits to lie exceedingly
we'll executed.
We believe that bank note cngravers
generally distinguish a counterfeit from
a genuine note by a comparison between
the work i'll the medallions in the cor
ncrs in which these figures appear
The ground work in these, in the genu,
Inc notes, is done by expensive machi-
merry, and it is rare indeed that a coun-
terfeit presents their accuracy and del
icacy OF design and lines.

WHAT WASHINGTON DIDN'r Do.-Al-
though, for the time in which he lived, a
very distinguished man, the ignorance
Of Washington is something perfectly
incredible. He never travelled on a
steamboat; never saw a railroad, or a
locomotive engine; was perfectly igno-
rant of the principles of the magnetic
telegraph; never had a daguerreotype,
Colts pistol, Sharpc's. rifle, or used a
friction match. lie ate his meals with
an iron fork, never used postage stamps
on his letters, and knew nothing Of the
application of chloroform to alleviate
suffering, or the use of gas for illumi-
nation. Such q man as this could hard
" be elected President of the United
States these times, although it must be
confessed we occasionally have a can
didate who proves not much better in
formed about matters in general.

HARTrs OF THE CHINEsE.-The China
man does not feel the absence of those
deep and cold wells which are so much
priced by us, and which we so much
miss inhis land. He not only abhors the
touch, but ako the taste, of cold water.
lie never takes a draught of mans orr
ginal beverage. Tea Of some kind,
that is, boiled water generally with
some herb infused, is his drink. | have
frequently found on my journeys, that a
look of incredulity, IN expression of sur
prise, and a close scrutiny of the glass,
always followed the act of my drinking
off a tumbler of cold water. Only the
evidence of their senses convinced the
bystanders that / was not drinking al
cohol."
The quenching thirst with hot fluid is
only one of the many points in which
Chinese customs differ Numerically
from ours. A goodly number Of such
contradictions may be culled from these
pages, though they exhaust but a small
fraction of the entire list. Thus, to
take the single trade of tailoring, des-
cribed in portrait No. 81: A Chinese
taller works at the house Of his custom
er, instead of at home, as with us; he
is never in partnership, or in any way
associated with another man of the
sam trade; sits at a table, instead of
on one; measures with a carpenters
rule; sews from him, instead of to him
pastes the edges of the cloth preparato-
ry to sewing, as also all braiding and
embroidery; or, to use Mr.. Cobbold's
technical expression, "pastes," instead
of "bastes," and uses silk thread in.
stead of cotton.
We have said, we think, enough tc
show that this is a curious and amusing
