editors are pressed at the start into the
neart oi things. They have to write too
nuch 10 Write any wastefal words. If
they expect to be heard, as is their usual
lot, IN the rear of omnibuses, in the con-
fusion of business, or when children are
crying after supper, they must speak so
as to possess the ear. Statesmanship has
nothing to do except to explain its sub
Ject; but editors have to enforce and ap-
ply. Moreover, as the editor is one Of
the people, he not unfrequently has "

oT representative right. There are many
eoitorS IN the United States, who repre-
sent their districts in Congress a vast
deal better than the honorable gentlemen
who have been sent to Washington for
that express purpose.
Ten or twenty years hence Editorship
will be the profession in the United States.
That is certainty. And the cause is
PLAIN enough-the people are resolved to
have the best talent of the land to min
lister to their daily service in the news
paper. The want of our national mind
is just here and just here, the choicest
intellect of the country will focalize. 1t
is rapidly becoming as absolutely neces-
sary to the energy and enterprise of hu-
man life, especially city and commercial
llfe,) to be supplied every morning with
map of the world and commentary on
its current facts, as it is to have the di-
visions of day and night, or the laws of

ONE OF THE VERDICTs.-The Ports
mouth Journal, under the head of tradi-
tonary sketches, publishes the following
account of model jury of the olden
time.
About eighty years ago a man came to
his end by casualty at the Isles of
Shols, and coroner from Portsmouth
visited the island to make an inquest.
Twelve Jurors were summoned from those
who were first met with and directed to
sit on the body. They went into the
house, and soon some of them returned, and
informed the coroner that he would hold
but six. They were again instructed and
sent in. They reported that he was
drowned. They were again sent back
for further investigation. In due time,
they returned with the report that they
had notched on one stick all his good
deeds they could find, and on another
all his bad ones. The latter number
ed most, and therefore they gave their
verdict that he had gone to the wicked
place. One of his good qualities was re-
ported to be, that he could carry a can
of flip at arms length around the island,
and not spill drop.

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS.

Whatever differences of opinion may
exist in our country on the great pOlitl-
cal measures of the day, there can be no
doubt that the popular Press is about as
free, faithful, and full in their discussion
as it well can be. The recent struggle
to which op;niOns have been subjected in
our midst, has brought out the whole
strength of the Press on both sides, and
has served to define, in sharp, severe out
line, the growing characteristics of its
power and Importance. Certain 1t is,
that Congress has utterly lost all preten-
sion to leadership of public opinion
Once it had this proud distinction, but 1t
is gone-utterly gone. Any influential
paper, in the United States, does more at
this day to direct public thought and set
tie public sentiment than half dozen
statesmen. 1t discusses all great ques-
tions far better-with more range-wlth
deeper subtlety-with much more eX-
haustiveness. Let any man compare the
debates in Congress with the debates
among Editors, and he Will soon see
where the intellectual forces OF the world
are marshaling themselves. The TACT is,
The Parliament of out door opinion is
now the authoritative body of this coun.
try and it's decisions have supreme
sway.
The reasons for this state of things
phenomenon even in our country-are
manifold. But, in passing, we may ob.
serve, that in Congress there is really
but little genuine discussion. 1t Is any
thing else but debating. Each man goes
into discourse more in the style of 9
lecture at college than anything else
There is no close contact-no fight han(
to hand-and, indeed, half or more o
thoco Conoressjonal sneeches are devoted

THE PROCESS OF COMING GOLD.

A United Sta =, Mint has been COM
pleted in San Francisco, and is probably,
| ere this time, in active operation, coming
down daily vast treasures Of golden ore.
1t was intended that it should be pre-
pared to coin thirty millions of dollars
yearly. The following description of the
system which is about to be established
there, will afford good general idea of
the ordinary process Of coming gold: The
metal, after being received in the deposit
room, is carefully w"'ghci and receipt
given. Each deposit is then melted sep.
arately in the melting room and moulded
INTO bars. These bars next pass through
the hands OF the assayer, who, with a
chlsel, chips small fragment from each
one. Each chip is then rolled into u thin
ribbon, and filed down until it weighs
exactly ten grains. 1t is then melted in
little cup made Of calcined bone ashes,
and all the base metals, copper, tin, &C.,
are absorbed by the porous material of
the cup, or carried off by oxidation. The
gold is then boiled in nitric acid, which
dlssolves the silver which it contains. and
leaves the gold pure. 1t is then weighed,
and the amount which it has lost gives
the exact proportion Of impurity in the
original bar, and a certificate of the
amount of coin due the depositor is made
out accordingly.
After being assayed, the bars are
melted with certain proportion Of sill
yer, and being poured into a dllution of
nitric acid and water, assume a granu-
lated form. In this state the gold is
thoroughly boiled in nitric acid, and rem
dered perfectly free from silver or any
other baser metals which may happen to
cling to it. 1t is next melted with one
ninth its weight Of copper, and thus al
loyed, is run into bars, and delivered to
the coinage. The bars are rolled out in
a rolling mill until nearly as thin as the
coin which is to be made from them. By
process Of annealing, they are rendered
sufficiently ductile to be drawn through
longitudinal orifce in piece of steel,
thus reducing the whole to a regular
width and thickness.
A cutting machine next punches small
round pieces from the bar, about the size
Of the coin. These pieces are weighed
separately by the 'adjusters, and if to-
heavy are filed down-if too light they
are re.melted. The pieces which have
been adjusted are run through milling
machine, which congresses them to their
proper diameter and raises the edge.
Two hundred and fifty are milled in
minute by this labor-saving machine.
They are again softened by the process
of annealing, and after thorough clean
ing are placed in tube connecting with
the stamping instrument, and are taken
thence one at time by the machinery,
and stamped between the dies. They
are now finished, and, being thrown into
box, are delivered to the treasurer for
circulation,
The machinery, of course, for al these
processes must be Of the incest kind
The weighing scales alone, in the deposit
room of the California Mint, cost 900.
