A GREAT MtsrANl.E.—The Boston :Post, in speaking of the ''wear and tear of coin," says that a geld coin would last two thousand years before it would entirely disappear. Mr. Nutt grinder Broomsticks thinks that there must be some - mistake—his gold coins of the largest di mensions generally taking no more than a wevk to disappear entirely ; he has known a double eagle to be worn down to the size of a three cent piece in the course of one eVeill lig MMffi=M K. N's. MESE party "The ripe's nuncio to Spain i before the cabinet of the President was known lo the pub lic here, declared, in Madrid. that the present Postmaster General, a Catholic, would be a member of the cabinet of Gen. Pierce ! There is other and abundant proof to confirm the opinion that. this appointment was secured to j the Roman hiersrehy before the Catholic vote - was cast fur the present incumbent." In reply to which the 'Baltimore, &publican ^says : We unhesitatingly pronounce this hold as sertion to,,be a , bareflimd . falsehood, and defy its author to bring forward the !cast particle of proof to sustain him in his charge." : The Repuhlican—retnarks the Washington :Union—is right in denouncing this anegation (which we believe is a favorite Know-Nothing Slander) an a stupid, senseless falsehood. Every man in the country not a member of a Know- Nothing Lodge, and not 'bliniilf:deluded, knows that in the nature of things there-never was and never could be, a-particle of founda tion in truth for so absurd a statement. We know, of our own knowledge; and froni sources which put the gneStion beyond the possibility of controversy, that the above allegation must be false in form, false in substance, false in Take that Flank Out. The Louisville Times makes the following palpable hit : • "One of the planks in the know-nothin g plat form is, 'that the • office should look for the man, and not the man for the office.' The hiatus lietweqi the practice and principles of the party is exemplified by the present num ber ut candidates kir the office of sheriff. There are not less than half a dozen men now cau- vassmg or t le . nomlnation in the lodges. Here so too. Not only for the office of Sher iff, but for every other office to be filled this fall. If the platform was made , effective in this county, - it would be the death knell of Know-Nothingism, for at least nine tenths of the members of the order are office seekers. Take that plank out, ye hypocrites:—Magers town Mail. `Sam" in Kentucky. The Louisville Times says: 'The Know-Nothing lodges are very busy in this city just now. They are actively cm plOyed in receiving and discussing applications fire demits. The Demodrats who were deluded' into the concern have discovered the trick, and are . extricating themselves as fast as possible. The Know Nothing managers are doing all that is possible to put a stop to the exodus— eveni going 'tothe extent of refusing their ap pliCationsfor discharge, on the ground that the application should have been made prior to the nominations, and that .no dethit can be granted after the nominations are made.— They have also promised to nominate Gen. Pileher for the Senate if yhe Democrats will stay in the order. All their exertions are of nb avail, however. The Democrats have de termined to feave, and unless their discharges are granted, they will announce through the public press their disconnection with the party. We have now in our possession the names of twenty-five gentlemen who intend to pm sue this course unless their demands are acceded to. at the next meeting of the councils." r7-The .manual Organ, the organ of the Know-Nothings, - takes the Pennsylvania State Council to task for insubordination, and de clares that "the members of the American Order have incurred a solemn obligation to abide by its decrees." The following is its language Tim rENNSYIXANTA StiIIISAL-U. has usually been considered that a party which accepts a tepresentation in a common convention, is bound by the act of that body. It is moreover known that the members if the dmerican order have ,incurred a soleiilH obligation lu abide by its decrees. in violation, as we conceive, of both these principles, a large section of the American order in Pennsylvania has separated itself, and whilst it has adopted the greater part of the National Platform, it has repudiat ed that clause which proposed the settlement of the most dangerous question that has ever presented itself to thek 2-incricari people. 'Tun LortstANA Ksow rrmm fol lowing is a portion of the Platform of the K.

We utterly condemn any attempt to make re ligious 'belief a test for political office, and can nuver affiliate with any party which holds sen timents not in accordance with these." , The Louisiana Know Nothings will not en dorse that portion of the national platform which proscribes the Catholic. 3h:wins.

No, said he. the true platform of this extra ordinary • organization is to be found in their oaths and ritual. There were to be found the things which they were sworn to do and to carry out ; and looking into these oaths and the ritual, he found that their objects were to strike at the citizens of foreign birth, at the immigrants from othercountries, to disfranchise, degrade and disgrace - them - by - depriving them not only of the right to Americanize them selves, but by cutting them off from the rights of hospitality and humanity. They - also sought to disfranchise and degrade another class of ojir citizens, whether native-horn or foreign, on account of their religions opinions, in violation of the constitution of the country, and regard less of the plainest dictates of - justice and hu manity.. Mr. Clay said that, rather than submit any extended remarks of his own on these subjects, he had chosen to collate the expressed and authentic opinions of the "old fathers of the re public ; and he read 'extensively from the writings of Washington, of Jefferson; of Madi son. of Jackson, of Quincy and others. Ile concluded his happy eflbrt by saying that though the old Whig party, with which he had always acted, was broken and dispersed, yet he appeared there,as one of the old rear guard of that once. powerful and great party ; and in that capacity he protested against this new secret organization, as f raught with dan ger to his country atAd its liberties ; and he called upon all the „Id liners of tho Whig par ty .to join him in the protest. PRINCE LB EitT is NEW YORK.—The N" cw York papers state tltat,,a, gentleman,_probably insane, and dressed a la militaire, called at a station house in that city, on Saturday week, and insisted that he was Prince ALBERT, who had been - driven to this country by a sudden revolution. So plausible was his narration and.so ingeniously did he explain the Circum stances under which he came hither, that many perons went . away under the belief that they had really had the honor of an introduction to Prince A I.IIEnT. We need . only_say that they were easily sold.

D. of Indiana has recently created 'quite a sensation among members of the medical pro fession in that section, by his success in trap ping tape worms. He has invented a gold trap less than an inch in length and about a of an inch in diaMeter. A bait is placed within the trap, and after the patient has tast ed several days, the apparatus is lowered by means of a string, down the throat of the pa tient. The worm, which is supposed to be hungry, pushes into the trap to seize the bait, and is instantly caught by a descending port cullis, and the operator, feeling a bite, pulls on the string and draws out trap, worn► and. all. The invention of such a trap is no fiction. It has actually been patented at Washington.

The girl was in a state of almost helpless weakness, an abortion having been produced on her between the time of her leaving her father's - house and ivhen she was found. She is 'represented as a smart, comely girl, with at least ordinary in.. telligence. Her father came up soon . after they ' were found, when she threw herself upon his' neck, beseeching his forgiveness in the most : affecting manner. Killwell was taken to the Dauphin County Jail.

We learn from - the New Hampshire Patriut of July 13th that: -. About two weeks since a little girl, near Six years of age, -named Colista Hill, of Gilman ton Centre, was searching for berries. in the field, - when -her attention was arrested by a peculiar singinr , noise, and on looking up she perceived two large black snakes, one of which was in an erect attitude and gazing fixedly on her, accompanying its vibratory motions by, as she says, "i most beautiful singing ." - She first attempted to run, but fou nd herself utterly incapable of sodoing. She then looked at the snake until sh e' became so pleased with it that she took it into her lap, and held -it un til she thought it asleep, and then lied to the house. For a number of days she visited the snake unknown to her parents, who finally discovered her feeding . it from her hand. She continued feeding it regularly every - day, be- Coming, more and more attached to it, until it would wild itself about her arms and neck, and-even take food from her mouth. Finally she was prevailed upon to place it in a box on condition it should not be hurt, and in that it is still kept, except when being fed. Hundreds in the vicinity have seen it, and it is the opinion of the medical men who have seen her that she is' completely fascinated, and that the death of the reptile would prove fatal to her. Her parentS /lave had a tempting offer to permit: her to be .taken about and exhibit ed with the snake, which - they have accept. ed. The snake is over four feet long. We have the above from 'a gentleman who has visited .the.girl and received the facts from, her and her parents, .and-,of course it may be relied 'upon as,substantially correct.
