Eight persons, among them several old residents,
were arrested Saturday, charged with making and
bogns money, with tools, press and dies, were
found in their possession. They are, undoubtedly,
large operators, and belong to an extensive gang.
ARTrsTIc WORK IN GloBE MAKINa.-A cotcm-
porary has already given brief account of some
of the interesting processes in the mechanical
or preparatory department Of globe making. 70
these processes succeed the more artsticaI abors,
which may be described as follows
The operator frst takes the polished globe ii
hand, for the purpose Of marking Ii witIi lines Of
direction for covering il with engraved slips, which
lines are those Of latitudes and iongitudes. These
lines are struck With great rapidity, and with ma
thematical truth, by an instrument called beam
compass. The sphere il now ready for receiving
the map, which is engraved in fourteen distinct
pieces. The arctic and antarctic poles form two
circular pieces, from which the lines Of longitude
radiate, These having been pasted and fitted, one
of the remaining twelve pieces, containing thirty
degrees Of longitude and one hundred and thirty
three degrees of latitude, Is also pasted on the
sphere, in the precise space where the lines Of
longitude have been previously marked its lines Of
latitude corresponding in o similar manner. The
paper upon which these portions Of the earths sur
face are engraved IL thin and extremely tough. 1t
is rubbed down with the greatest care through oil
the stages of the pastng process. The globe is
thus covered with q plain map SO perfectly joined,
that every line and every letter ft together as n
they had been engraved in one piece which, Of
COURSE would be absolutely impossible for the pur
pose Of covering q ball.
The artist who thus covers the globe. called
paster, is also colorer. By long experience he
knows how the various boundaries are to be de-
fined, with pink continents and blue islands, and
| the green oceans. The globe is then vanished
with preparation technically known ns white
hard" to which some softening matter ID added to
prevent the varnish cracking. Four coats Of var
nish complete the wark. The globe has to be
mounted. The brass meridian ring has been pre-
o1,y
comparatively rapid but for the largest globes i
involves considerable expense. Cast iron rings
are successfully used, with the degrees and figures
perfectly distinct; and these, applied to 80 inch
globes, instead of the engraved meridians, greatly
cheaper the cost. The axis of the globe reyolVes
the meridian ring, and, Of course, it is absolutely
necessary that the poles should be exactly parnE
lei this is effected by little machine which drills
| each extremity at one and the same instaiis-th
operation is termed policing the meridian.

LOVE OF A MrNIsTER.-In Kesota, Minnesota,
a Rev Mr. Hill, Pastor Of the United Brethren, Was
accused of certain seandaous practices and called
together his church and society to listen to his
4 public confession. He told them that three years
ago he sednced girl, aged sixteen, from her home
in Maine, and took her TO Boston, and after short
residence there, to Minnesota w here he had resided
with her as his wife for thirteen months, having
one child ly her. He said he had left o wife and
three children in Maine. After this full confession,
he asked all who were in favor of his remaining as
their Christian pastor to stand up and Q majority,
including all the women, rose to their feet, while
a the rest refused to vote either way Evidently the
United Brethren ia Minnesota are liberal. The
