TUE NEW DOLLAR AM It's CoUN-
rERrEIT.-If the "powers"a at Wash
ington who lacked faith in u Ameri-
can mechanics are not satisfied by this
time that they formed an underesti.
mate of American skill, they ought to
be. They sent abroad for the dies used
in coming the new silver dollar. Not
only has the design of the coin been
severely criticized. but its workman
ship also. 1t has been caricatured in
the pictorials-notably in Harper's
Weekly-and lightly spoken OF in
officials circles. The worst rebuke,
however, to those who ordered
the dies from an English workshop,
Is found in the fact that before the
new dollar was ten days in circu'
lation, it was so ingeniously counter
feited that only an expert was capable
of detecting the difference between the
bogus coin and the genuine. Worst O
all, that difference consisted in the
counterfeit being the better executed
coin of the two.

DAILY SENTINEL.
CoNINe

Two astronomical events of great in
terest are to occur this year-on May o
q transit of Mercury. and or July % a
total eclipse Of the sun.
The transit Of Mercury, which &C.
ours two weeks from next Monday, is
visible throughout the whole United
States, and is of some seven hours
duration. The line of totality in the
United States begins in Alaska, and
passes down the continent in q belt
about one hundred miles wide, almost
parallel to the Rocky mountains. until
Il emerges in the Gulf OF Mexico near
Galveston.
Transi s OF Mercury are much more
frequent than those of Venus, the
average interval between them being
less than ten years, and the longest
only thirteen years. The transit is of
especial interest on tlris occasion as
affording means for Judging, in some
degree, OF the truth or fslsity Of Lever
rier's hypothesis of an mira Mercurial
planet-a by pothesis which has SO far
found few believers other than its dis
tinguished author. The last Congress
made to the United States Naval Oh.
s~ervatory an appropriation of 81 500, to
be expended in observing this transit,
and the three points agreed upon for
that purpose are Harvard College, Ann
Arbor, Michigan, and another in the
Far West rot yet selected. The o.
servatory will render assistance, also,
to Professor Angot, the French astron-
omer, sent hither by his Government
for this occasion, and whose point of
observation will be Ogden. in Utah
Territory. AS the larger the number
of accurate observations, the greater
the of information derived,
the Department asks further assistance
from all professionals and amateurs
provided with the necessary instru-
ments.
For an observation of the total eclipse
OF the sun, unfortunately, no prepare.
tions have been made. Foreign Gov
ernments, knowing what al excellent
opportunity was presented TO the as
tronomers of this country, left the mat
ter ia the United States; and the United
States has no means wherewith to do
anything in the premises. So it is
probable that the total eclipse OF 1878,
offering better opportunities for accur-
ate and economical observation than
any VIC shall have again in a lifetime,
will 20 un watched, a " through the
smoked glass of the frontiersman, or
the little telescope of an occasional anna.

THE Salt Lake Herald of a recent
date thus speaks Of the proposal to
amalgamate Utah and Nevada into
one State: 1--WE do not ask for Neva-

will do what we can in the matter of
reclaiming her. It may take some
time to purify her politics, but it can
be accomplished, and by no power
sooner than by Utah."

LONDON, March I2.-The trouble touch
ing Egyptian finances is that the KhediVe
shows disposition to refuse to carry out
English and French bondholders through
Goschen Il Goubert. 1t has been appre-
hended lately that the Khedive contemp-
lated following Turkeys example, entirely
suspending payments on foreign debts. He
however disclaims such intention and has
empowered Col. Gordon to constitute a
commission, with himself at the head, to
make thorough examination of the Egypts
financial condition. in order to ascertain
what is the extent of her ability to meet
her creditors claims. Goschen has
protested personally to the Khedive and in
the public prints against the proposal to
depart from the terms Of the agreement
with the bondholders.
