THE GLOBE AND COL. HOPKINS.


| We have omitted to notice at much length the
strange coalition which has taken place between Col
Hopkins an avowed Conservative, and the Globe, an
avowed Destructive We have not noticed IL because
il seemed require the genius Of an slchymst TO ana
lyze operation by which parts, with anities appa
rently so opposite should be blended together
union Of oil and vinegar, Of honey and gall, we
may possibly account for--but coalition Of Conser
vative and Destructive we cannot comprehend We
have deemed it, therefore prudent hitherto not TO ex
pose our ignorance ofwhat 10 others may have seemed
very plain-but in these times there is nothing to be
wondered at
The Globe defends MIR Hopkns-whcther Mr.
Hopkins defends the Globe we have other clue than
that he has subscribed for four hundred copies only
But, in advocating the cause Of Mr. Hopkins, the
Globe says that the Southwestern virginisn permits
no opportunity to assail him to pass unimproved We
have thought Mr. Hopkins ought TO be assailed, but
in our readings of the Southwestern Vrginian, VIC
have not made the discovery which the Globe has
We had thought that paper had moi paid 50 much al
tention to Mr.. Hopkins he deserved. We thought
il might say much, and with good effect We remem-
bercd that in the spring Of 1889 Col Hopkins de
nounccd the Globe and especially one of its editors,
(F p Blair) as entirely unworthy Of credit, and in
terms not measured by any nice rules of deiicacy-
unless such yocabcs rs z scoundrc har, ana
cheat, come within them, That the Globe m re-
turn pursued Mr. Hopkins in the same style OF alice
Tomato abusc-and applied such epithcts as hypo-
critic " skuk in the discharge Of his duties IN Con-
gressn SC which Mr., ii virtually to ac-
knowledge were correct by taking course opposite to
that pursued by him when those epithets We're applied
Nor does the public need prompting TO form just esi
mate of the sincerity Of both these parties which have
now coalesced 1t is true Mr.. Hopkins outlived the
datribes Of the Globe, and indeed the opposition OF
he Van Buren, party in little Tennessee
II the deauneiaiions Of the Globe elected Col Hop
kins by majority of 500 against the most popu-
lar Van Bpren candidate Of the party in that district
we should like TO know if there be any rule in algebra
which will give the result the Globes defence Of
Mr. Hopkins will produce in the same given section
| OF country? From all we can learn we should Judge
that Col Hopkins had himself given the car OF Van
Rurensm in his district downward momentum, winch
| he cannot by any means, stop and in this respect
Col Hopkins seems to be in the plight OF Jonathan
Doolittlc who invented steam horse, which nc had
| no sooner mounted than il broke through the shop
where il was confined and overran considerable por
/ ton OF New England before he could in any manner
bring ii under his control

immortalized himself by endeavoring to impose upon
General Harrison As the tool of a pretended asso-
citation in Oswego, he endeavored to palm himself of
as political friend of General HARRISON in the hope
no doubt Of entrappng the General and sporting with
his communications. General Harrison was too wise
for the Oswego conspiracy and they got nothing but
an answer from Cincinnati Committee But that
fact was enough for the drowning federaists. They
Immediately discovered that General Harrison was in
the hands Of Committee and abandoned for time
all other issues hut that which they raised upon the
discovery Of poor Miles Hotchkss, the keeper Of
groggery and nine pin alley in Oswego In return
for much capital added TO their political exchequcr
they have given Hotchkiss full sweep at Land office

VERMONT

ROMAN OcHRE-DIscovERY OF THE Nine
The recent discovery of an ochre mine in
Vermont, promises to be ofgreat importance,
in every point of view. The article is supe-
rior to any thing of the kind now known to be in
existence. The best ochre now in use is OBJ
tanned from Rochelle, France; but the Vermont
ochre must eventually supersede this atogeth-
er. The Vermont ochre forms a surface oil
marble smoothness, which is entirely imper-
Vious to water, and is of course extremely
durable. When saturated with oil, instead of
shrinking and drying away, it swells and in
creases its bulk. It was discovered in small
stream of water, the superintendent mass of
earth or decayed vegetable matter having been
washed away by the action of the stream.
The attention of the discoverer, Mr.. Miller,
was attracted by the color of the ochre, and
the absence that scum or crust on the surface
of the water, which uniformly accompanies
oxyde of iron. The ochre is found in rich
layer near the surface of the ground, then fol-
lows stratum of mica slate, and then another
layer of earth. The mine is worked now at the
rate Of twelve barrels per day. A barrel
weighs three numbered pounds, and the price
ranges from nine cents to fifty cents per pound

SMoKING.-Doct. Macauley of st. Louis,
while ecturing before the Mechanics Institute
of that place, recently told the following anus
ing anecdote of smoking:
ga young gentlemen, very much devoted to
smoking, had paid his addresses to a young la
dy, whose parents objected to the union, mere
ly because he INDUCED, as they thought, too
freely in the use of tobacco. The young lady,
however, pGepossessed in his favor, prevailed
upon him to abandon the habit, that their union
might take place. The antipathy of the mo-
Their, however, to smoking continued undated,
and she was still sceptcal as to the fact of his
reformation on that score, and to test her daugh-
ter's account that he had given up the practice
of smoking, she invited him to spend few
days at her house, with the family. No ymp-
toms of smoking appeared till one evening"
when the mamma, before retiring to rest, fan
cied she smelt something like the fumes of to-
bacco in his bedroom. She looked through
the key -hole, and lo and behold the gentleman
was caught in the act, putting away, with his
feet upon the CRATE and thinking, no doubt, of
many happy days with his beloved object.
The mother, in haste, ran down stairs, called
for her daughter; said she had found him still
smoking, and wished her to come up immedi-
ately and see. They flew up stairs; the mother
looked again into the key hole, saying to the
daughter, 'did not tellyou he still smoked;
look in and see''-'.4h, but mother" said the
daughter, ''does he not smoke beautfuIly?"

THE MIET.--0n the invitation Of gentle
man connected with the mint, we on Thurs
day visited that establishment and were highly
pleased with all we witnessed The high
state of mechanics, which the complex machln-
cry give evidence of, the extreme cleanliness
of the building, and the we'll arranged order
with which the whole process ofcoiningi is car
red on, are truly admirable. There are at
present some twenty five men employed there,
every one noiselessly fulfilling his province.
In the smelling department there are six
lurnaces-two of them were on Thursday in
operation. The men employed in this depart
ment wear large stuffed gloves on their hands,
resembling choking gloves" One man, through
the aid Of long tongs, raises the crucible out
of the furnace and pours the liquid metal in
cast iron mould-A second man opens this
mould pushes it over to a third, and throws
the inroot lust cast into receptacle for it;
third man fastens up the mould opened by Ne.
2, and places il in position 10 be ready to re-
ceiye an ingot in proper time. Doctor Riddle
presides over department, and tbs SAID ne mas
introduced into il many beneficial reforms.
The ingots are next assayed and then taken
to the rolling room; here they are again plac-,
ed in furnace, wAere certain heat IS infused
into them preparatory to their being rolled
The rolling is performed by the application oil
machinery, and consists in rolling cut the in
cots, whether SILVER or gold, to a consistency of
a required breadth and thickness, resembling in
shape iron hogshead hoops. These are next
conveyed to the adjusting room, were they are
adjusted, so that when cut out in circular pei
ces for eagles, half eagles, half dollars, quar-
tiers, dimes or half dimes, they will be found
of proper weight This being done, these sill
yer or gold slabs are, by other machinery, cut
into exact circular sizes OF the designed coins.
They are next brought to the mill where the
edge is raised on .hem. This mill is another
evidence ofthe perfection of machinery. The
round peices are put into kind of hopper,
where they aie placed over one another in a
pile, and drawn out one by one, the edge is
raised by their coming in contact with piece
of grooved metal, as thay go round after which
they drop down. They are finally taken to
the coming room, where by machinery also,
they are one after another drawn under the
stamping press, where they receive the ne
cessary impression, and come out good and
current money of the United States, to which
the most scrupulous Bentonian could not OBJ
ject.
The whole of the machinery is worked by
powerful and splendidly finished steam engine,
placed in the centre of that part of the bull
ding where the coming which we have endeav-
ed, imperfectly, TO describe, is carried on.
