What is Coke!

A crrospendent, who calls himself ga
plain country farmer, without education,
but anxious" to learn, noticing an Article
in late number of this paper on gas, oh
served the use of the word Cooke" in the
estimate of the probable income ofthe pro-
posed gas company, and asks us to state
what itmeans. AS he seems really anxious
to be informed on the subject, we will
cheertully do SO, as far as we can.
1t is impossible to convey TO linn a
clear understanding Of what Coke is unless
he understood thcimpcrt Of scientific terms;
though he may have an idea ofit,by stating
that coke is the hard substance that remains
of coal after the gas has been discngagcd
from it. This substance is an excellent
article for fuel and is considered to be
worth quite as much as coal for that pur-
pose-indced many prefer it, as it docs not
emit the disagreeable gaseous odour which
coal does. All substances of which the
constituent clements are carbon, hydrogen,
and oxygen,arc capable of producing vari-
Gus inAammable elastic fluids, scaled gases,
which may be ignitcd and thus produce
light. Btuminous coal, is particularly a.
dapted to the purpose of generating gas
the gas with which towns are most gene

and is called carburettedhydrogen gas For
the purpose of manufacturing this gas, the

Our attention has been called to prac-
tee ofthe Richmond Flour-dcalcrs, which,
1t seems TO us, is not only unjust in itself,
but at variance with the spirit, if not the
letter of the law, "in that case made and
provided" The practice referred to is
this: Flour inspected here and bearing
the Lynchburg brand, is shipped to Rich
mond for sale but before it leaves that
port, either for foreign shipment or coast.
wise, it is subjected to re-inspection, the
Lynchburg brand is erased, and that Of
Richmond substituted for it. Thus the
-four inspected in Lynchburg and sold in
Richmond, goes from the latter place as
Richmond flour the inevitable conse-
quencc Of which is that, the Lynchburg
market is scarcely known at all in foreign
markets, whilst Richmond is building up
a reputation in part, on the merits Of the
Lynchburg -four.
Now, this is obviously unjust to Lynch
burg, for it is manifest that her brands can
never be known abroad so long as Rich
mond is thus permitted to monopolizc all
the credit for our good flour, Ii is not on
ly unjust, but it is calculated to deceive
the public as to the quantity of -four made;
and 1t is not only deceptive, but, in our o.
pinion, is violative of the spirit of the law
tits true the law does not say that noul
shall be exempt from re-inspection, bu
1t docs not authorize the second inspector
to erase the first brand, nor is there any nc
cessity for these tricks in tradc"-unles
indeed Richmond finds an excuse for then
in the selfish policy of suppressing, as ia
as it can, knowledge of the Lynchburs
brands-for we understand where it ha
permitted these brands to be known, the,
rank quite as high as those of Richmon,
itself. And why should they not 2 w
undertake to say there is as good -four in
spcctod here as in Richmond, and that tn
inspector is quite as competent 10 dccid
upon its quality, as the Inspector at Rich
mond. But suppose he is not, is that an,
reason why Richmond should assume t,
oblterate his brands entirclyl 1.-THE char
acter of the Lynchburs flour ranks below
that Of Richmond, if there is no confdenc,
IN the inspection here, then it is Lynch
burg's loss, not Richmond's and there il
no necessity why the latter should mani
fest quite so much concern for the com
mercial standing of Lynchburg four a
practically to exclude it from market alto
gethcr.
| Wethink thisisa system to which Lynch
burg dealers ought no longer to submit
if they ever intend to establish goot
character for Lynchburg -four Their,
will be about $4,000 barrels inspected
here this year, and yet nearly the whole
of it that is shipped abroad will pass I'M
der the name of Richmond flour. Blu
whether our merchants mean to submit L
be thus kept in the back ground or not
weintend that the public shall know how
it is done.

The Daguerrean Journal announces the
discovery of a new process of daguerreo-
tipping, invented by Mr.. L. L. Hill, Of
Westkil, in this State, by which pictures
are produced bearing all the natural colors
Of the object depicted upon the plate
The process by which it is effected, the in
ventor does not disclose, he being now IN
pursuit of patent for his discovery. Two
years since he commenced hisexperiments
and he has since obtained las he declares, for
ty-fve specimens, all which present the
several colors true to a tint, and with de-
gree ofbrilliancy never seen in the richest
daguerrcotype, the black and white parta-
king of this latter quality alike. He says,
the pictures have much the appearance OF
enamelling, and are equally durable, as it
is very difficult to cfface them by securing
and, as far as he can judge, they are not
acted upon by light.
In another statement made by Mr.. Hill,
he says:
"My process involves the use of at least
one substance entirely neu-which, though
it is my own discovery, 1 cannot name,
and is unlike anything ever named by
chemists"
From the following extract from Mr.
HIS communications to the Daguerrean
Journal, there seems to be ground for sus-
pecting that the secret of his process lies
in the employment of some developant
heretofore unused-thc "entirely new"
substance alluded to by him;
"Some two years ago." he says: Il took
to experimenting, with a view to this great
desideratum, Il. e.photographing in co,ors,)
'but with little faith. In one of my ex-
Periments, phenomenon presented itself
which greatly surprised me, and, in the
nature Of the case, compelled me to be-
lieve the thing practicable One color, the
red, in a figured dress, was developed as
bright as a ruby. ] then repeated the OK
periments, and failed; but, from that hour
until few months ago, continued to re-
peat it in every form l could think of-al-
ways failing, but never despairing-for
| had reason for believing in the correct
ness ofmy theory, that, under certain cir
cumstances, there is in the impressioned
plate latent colored image. at length
commenced experimenting on the develop
ing power ofthe vapors of different metals,
and found that large number of them,
such as arsenic, cadmium, zinc, selenium,
bishmouth, potassium and sodium, would
when properly vaporized, bring out the
Intent image in light and shade. The
same result followed the use Of several
gases. The impressions differed so little
from daguerrcotypcs, that l was on the
point of abandoning the pursuit, when
one day, Unexpectedly, formed singular
compound, and, without much hope of
success, applied it to my purpose My
surprise and joy were unbounded, when l
found on my plate a true Hillotype."
MIR. II says he has been offered $4,000
for a half interest in his discovery, but
declares his intention to continue expert
menting until he has perfected it as far as
he can.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
The following sketches may amuss our
readers:
Among admirable takers, always lis
toner and critic, we remember the best
that this country has produced-Jeferson.
DR.. Tho. Cooper, Tazcwell, Webster.
Petngru, Calhoun, Preston and Legare.-
The first was didactic and flowing, but
without wit; pouring out, all the WHILE
general information rather than thought;
but in very easy and agreeable style
The second conversed more and discoursed
less; possessed far finer body Of knowl-
edge; dealt it out only when the occasion
called il, and to its extent; was, without
being exactly witty, singularly apoththeg-
matte, sententious and clear; and enlivened
his discourse by prodigious abundance
of gay and apt anecdotes and reminiscence
Of nearly all the eminent men Of his age,
most of whom he had known. He was
an exceedingly entertaining talker. Taze-
well was more in tire mannerof Colerdge
"a sort Of brilliant dealer in paradox and
subtilities. Webster, somewhat ponder
Gus when cold, in genial moments becomes
very happy and hilarious. Pettigru with
the air Of boy, flows with quip and crank
and prose epigram as perfect as it is I'M
studied, delivered in mocking voice the
most comic that can be. Calhoun had
neither wi, nor reading, nor taste; and new
er conversed; but delivered rapid and daz-
cling dissertations, in withdrawing you
on from one bold and striking generaliza-
ton to another-he kept you always on
the stretch to follow the seeming brillian-
cy and depth of his swift paced conclu-
sions, which overpowered you for the
time, by their speed Of thought; but were
rather apt to vanish into fallacies or revery,
when Won came afterwards coolly to re-
view them by yourself. As for Preston,
he is, for an elegant table or circle of
scholars, or clever men, the most agreea-
bly, brilliant talkcr and wit that we have
ever known. We should, for proper
powers of conversation, place linn first,
and Leeare second Of all that we have
known. The one was Ito give our read
ers a more definite ideal more like Burke
the other like Beauclcrk in his CONVEX
sation.
On the other hand, it strikes us that the
most barren man in company that we have
over seen-saving perhaps, his late Males
ty, Mr. Polk-was Mr.. Van Buren,. He
was dreadfully sterile, and the few COM
mon-places that he uttered gave you only
the painful certainty that he was silent, not
merely from temperament, but from the
restitution of all resources for conversa-

Newspaper readers.
A GnosT.-That apparitions do not al
ways wonder without sufficient cause. is
proved by the following well attested fact
which we give with the endorsement Of
the Montreal Transcript. Last Tuesday
fortnight, as Mrs. -, Ia lady of literary
taste and rather studious habiis) sat read
ing in her drawing room, the clock on the
mantel-picce struck twelve, as the last
stroke reverberafed through the apart
ments, the door wasspuddenly flung open,
in the act of raisil Ter head to reprove
the intrusions turning for) other servant,
her eyes rested on the form Of her late hus-
band, she screamed and fen scnseless on
the carpet. This brought up such MEM
bers Of the family as had not yet retired to
rest; restoratives were administered, and
when Mrs. - had regained possession
other suspended faculties, and being
woman ofstrong mind and highly cultiva-
ted intellect, she felt disposed to consider
the whole distress she had undergone as
the result Of certain associations between
the melancholy tale she had been perusing
and her late loss, operating on partially
deranged nervous system. She, however,
considered it advisable her maid servant
should repose in her chamber, lest any re-
turn Of what she had determined to con-
slider nervous affection should distress
herself and alarm the family. Last Tues
day night, feeling stronger and in better
spirits than she had been for several months
past, Mrs - dispensed with the pres
ence Of her attendant, retiring alone to her
chamber, and went to bed little before
ten o'clock. Exactly as the clock struck
twelve she was awakened from sleep, and
distinctly beheld the apparition she had be-
fore seen, advancing from the table ION
which stood her night lamp) till it stood
opposite to and drew aside the curtains of
her bed. A sense of suffering oppression
deprived her of all power to scream aloud.
She describes her very blood retrcating
with icy chillness to her heart from every
vein. The countenance of her beloved in
life wore not its benevolent aspect; the
eyes once bcaming with affection, were
now fixed in stern regard on the tremb-
ling half dissolved being who with the
courage of desperation, thus adjured him:
"Charles! dear Charles! why are you come
again?"
