A NEW SOURCE OF PROFITS mot 80
The attention of the treasury depart
ment has been called to a curious work
ing of the silver law. 1t appears that
parties in San Francisco have been in
the habit OF exchanging gold dollars for
silver dollars, and then obtaining silver
certificates. These they send to New
York, use them inpaynlent of customs,
and thus save the handling or transport
tation upon gold, and in this way have
been able to transact considerable
and profitable business. nj 97aH

A Washington dispatch Of July 10th
says it is understood that no formal
opinion has been given by the attorney
general to the secretary of the treasury
concerning the exchange of gold for
notes, from the sUpGS. Trsaspry.
Upon exchange of views on, the
subject, the secretary of the: treas
ury and the encouragement agree
that this could not be done until the LIST
of January. The treasury department
has option, however, of paying in gold
on government account at any time.
The smaller gold coins are likely to sc t
into circulation in this manner. ~
The coin balance still shows steady
increase, and at the. close of business
to-day, amounted to $206,545 900.

Now that the Keely motor humbug

900 of the money of the stockholders
has. been subscribed and paid out for
useless machinery, and over a million
AMI halflhas changed hands in the
rise and fall ofiits stocks.f There were
10000 shares of a parolvalue of 800

per share, but the scheme was so skill
July manipulated that they frequently
changed hands at $500 per share. Now
they are without value, and could not

There is deposited at the Mint, Broad
street, Philadelphia. troy pound weight
which is kept under duplicate bcks and
seals There is curious history con
nected with this weight. By it is deter
mined thel standard to WATCH the ac-
curacy Of the gold and silver coins OF
the United States. must attain. The
commission appointed blythe president
to test the coins and, make the annual
assay use this weight, and On these oc-
casions it is taken from its carefully
Guarded seclusion, and it shows the &C
curacy or inaccuracy Of the productions
Of the various minis in this country.
This little cylinder Is copied from a
troy pound weight preserved in the
tower of London, and on this latter the
coinage ofGreat Britain rests for relia-
bility. This exact witness Of financial
integrity is carefully preserved and
guarded from tampering hands. At the
conclusion of the assay commissions
labors the weight is intrusted to the
care of a judge Of the United States dis
trict court, the collector of the port
