THE OLDESTLOCK

In the History of Nineveh and it's
Palaces by Joseph Bonomi, we find
description Of perhaps the oldest
lock ever discovered. 1t was used in
securing the gates in ono of the IL
aces of Khorsabad. In describing
this ancient piece Of hardware-if
such terms may be applied to wood
en- iocks-he says: "At the end of
the chamber, just behind the frat
bulls, wss formerly strong gate, OF
one leaf, which was fastened by n
large wooden look, like those still
used in the East, of which the key is
as much man can conveniently car.
~, and by bar which moved into a
square hole in the wall.
ut is to key of this description
that the prophet probably alludes:
And tho key Of tho house of David
will lay upon his shoulder aud il
is remarkable that the word for key
in this passage of scripture, .Mufiah,'
Is the same in use NIL over the East
Mt the presen, time. The KEY of an
ordinary street door is commonly
thirteen or fourteen inches long; and
the key of the gate OF public build
ing, OF of street, or of q quarter of
town, is two feet or more in length.
1.-The iron pegs at one end OF the
piece of wood correspond to so many
holes in the wooden bar or bolt OF
the lock, which, when the door or
gate is shut, cannot bo opened until
the key has been inserted and tho
impeachment to the drawing back of
the bolt removed by raising up 30
mnny iron pins that fall down into
holes in the bar Or bolt correspond
ing to the peg in the key"
This description and others of q
corroboraty character, proves that
this form of lock and key was in use
in Egypt 1000 or 5000 years, dur
ing which extended period of time it
does not appear to have undergone
any successful change Hardware.

STATE BANKS IN VIRGINIA.

RICHMOND, Dec. IA bill was
introduced in the House of Repre-.
sentatives yesterday providing for
tue organization of State banks of
circulation.
The bill provides for the organi-
cation Of State. banks OF circula-
ton, the circulation to be secured
by u deposit of State bonds with
the treasurer of the State of Vir-
ginia, aud the act is to take effect
when the United States statute
imposing a tax OF ten per cent ON
the circulation of State banks is
repealed. The act provides in de-
tau Tor the organization and con
duct of the State banks and the
circulation is so well guarded and
protected that it is believed that
1t will answer two purposes: first,
1t will provide a local circulating
medium and supplement- the pres.
ent currency, and second, provide
q market for Virginia State bonds
and enhance their value and cause
the interest to be paid and kept
within the State instead Of going.
as at present, to parties outside of
the State.

II appears by official reports 70 the
Department 81 State that the Govern
ment Of Colombia has increased the du-
ties on many articles Of import. The
laudable object Of this increase Of duty
is to provide means for the payment
Of the national debt. Venezuela, doubt
less with the same object, has re-estab-
lished the former duties on Indian corn
and on other articles. President Harri-
sons proclamation against these Re
