BtST Speaking of tbe first eopper cent coin ed after the adaption of the Const it utioo, Mr. Prime relates the following aneodnte: *• The first caut was coined in 1793, when Alexander Hamilton was Secretary of tbe Treasury. It did not give universal satisfao tioo, aud tbe following crltioism appeared io the Anus—a Boston paper—of March 20, 1703: The chain on tbe reverse is a bad omen for liberty, and Liberty herself seems to be iu a fright. May ahe not justly cry out in the words of the Apostle—Alexander the copper smith has done me much harm ; the Lord re ward him according te bis works.’ ” Make a Note or This —A friend, who is in constant practice with the rifle— and is not very particular whether be uses one of Hep- poldi’s (Charleston make,) an ordinary State rifle, or a Minnie musket—informs us that the conical ball can be successfully used io any of tbe common rifles usually found In the South and Southwest. If any of our readers will mould some of the conical slugs, and experiment at three limes the usual distance, the result will satisfy thsm of the increased range and accuracy.— Charleston Mercury. As Uskilladlb Cat.—Two gentlemen of this city, well known for their fancy for cats and dogs, a few days ago got into a dispute about the relative destructive powers of the two race* of animals. The dog fancier bad a dog which be boasted could kill any cat in tbe country in five minutes. Hie opponent, and patron of cats, possessed one of the fell* ape eies that no dog could kill in ten minutes — Finally, to settle the dispute, a bet was made of twenty-seven dollars, (all the loose change tbe cat man had,) on tbe tight—time, ten min utes. The preliminaries were all settled, and tbe combat was fixed ftr the next day. Pune tual to appointment, early in the morning, the dog man appeared on tbe battle ground with three or four feroeioai-looking bull dogs. The ont man was also found ready to meet his ap pointment. The latter had prepared a tight box, with a movable cover, into whioh he had placed the ca.. Tbe judges gathered round the spot, and when all was declared ready tbe cat fighter proceeded to raise tbe cover. But to the as tonishment of tho man with the oat-eating dogs, puss failed to come to time. Stepping up to tbe box with a suspicious air, he discov ered that he was badly sold—the cat was dead ! Chagriued at the trick, tbe proprietor of the dogs addressed the other : “If you are mean enough to take those •takes, lake them.” The proprietor of tho cats did take them, and the proprietor of (be dogs left discomfit ted Encourage Home Literature!!
