must be born with the requisite and must have im proved his natural capacity by For the difficulty of detecting spurious or imperfect coins is It is not gen it is nevertheless strict ly the banks and specie brokers arc in the habit of taking counterfeit or imperfect Wo all read the other day the story of i Troy Bank President who brought to this in his 000 in counterfeit bills on his with out suspecting their There is just ns much error with regard to coins so much science and skill are now imitation of specie in the language of to detect coun a man needs to have been born with an an and a

the coins are instantly detected tit tlie SubTreasury and The disemboweling process is A short time since some in counterfeiters undertook to make money by sawing dollar coins in scoop ing out and filling the hollows with baser then pieces witli such skill that no trace of the opera tion was outwardly This was done with the small thick dollars issued by the mint to a very great Sixty cents of gold was taken from each and many thousand dollars were subjected to the pro Many of these disemboweled dollars arc in circulation at the present At SubTreasury the skilled car and hand of Birdsall

the opening is galvanized with and piece is set in These coins so difficult to distinguish from coins fresh from the that there are not half a dozen per sons in the United States who can discern j that they have been tampered we are singles thorn out with unerring accuracy to the amazement of the bank from which they rejects A few weeks since the police were set nn the track of a woman who was

which one can take between the linger and thumb and stow away as conveniently as a toothpick in the waistcoat ought to be more generally used than they are by A couple of hundred dollars in coin is an awkward sum to carry in tho purse or on the person in tho shape of a treasury it can be carried more conveniently than a In the SubTreasury these bricks and bags are ranged in A man is I not a little

Buchanan is too busy a man to think of own Ho has empowered his Buchanan agent to draw his salary and this gentlemans odd arrives at Ciscos on a day each with mathematical These arc small Cisco is not

paper on which it was drawn was 110 bigger or more distin in any way than a draft for a months salary of a Government It may be in connection with these that such is the system with which the York SubTreasury Is con and such the skill and exactitude of the paying and Birdsall and the clerks who count the that never since Ciscos appointment has an error of a dollar been committed in the A business of two hundred millions H year is done over eight hundred drafts are on the every day but since Cisco had the management of the has a bad coin been or a short payment been or u forged or
