POI.ITIUAL NOTES.

For the information Of one OF our ex.
changes we will state that General Goff
did NG accept the position Of Solicitor Of
the Treasury, rendered him by the Presi.
dent; neither is it true, so far as We have
seen, that he has been offered the Swiss
mission. General Golf is man Of sense,
and probably sees that he cannot afford
to give up his present position as District
Attorney, and his large private business,
for a few years Office ofthe kind referred
to.
Some Of the Washington correspond.
ents represent e1-Secretary Bristow and
General Harlan, the Kentucky Republi.
can leaders, as dissatisfied because they
have not been sufficiently recognized by
the Administration. Their story is that
General Harlan is sad because he was not
called to the Cabinet, and that Bristow
wonders because he is not appointed to
the vacant Supreme Court place. 1t is
probable that the correspondents exag.
gerate these gentlcmens feelings. They
are not the sort Of men who lie awake
nights with the torture Of not being ap.
preciated.
The President has pretty correct ideas
about newspapers. He told the editor
Of the Washington Nation the other
evening that he thought the time for
party organs had passed away, and that
journals nowadays to be successful must
be independent, praisiuS and blaming in
perfect freedom.

Historic Junk.

The oldest pieces of iron wrought
irony now known are probably the
sickle blade found by Belzoni under
the base of q Sphinx in Karnac, near
Thebes; the blade found by Col. Vyse,
imbedded in the masonry of the Great
Pyramid; the portion of cross-cut
saw exhumed at Nimrod by Mr.. Lay
ard, all OF which are now in the British
Museum. A wrought bar of Damascus
steel was presented by King Porus to
Alexander the Great; and the razor
steel of China for many centuries has
surpassed all European steel in temper
and dura bility of edge. The Hindoos
appear to have made wrought iron di.
rectly from the ore, without passing it
through the furnace, from time inn
memorial; and elaborately wrought
masses of iron are still found in India,
which date from tue early centuries Of
the Christian era.

The Richest Copper Mine in the
World.

The Calumet and Hecla consolidated
mine near Portage Lake, Mich, now
acknowledged the richest copper mine
in the world, was discovered by pig
some ten years ago. 1t had been
known for several years that the
ancient mound-builders had worked
copper on Lake Superior centuries
since, and these old mines are visible
along the top range of Point Kewee-
nav nearly 100 miles. A miner, who
had cabin in the woods, put litter
of pigs into one of the ancient pits, and
found, some time after, that one of
them had rooted up nugget of cop
per. The land was owned by ST.
Mary's Canal Company, and was re-
garded as only good for timber. Itwas
purchased as such by good financiering,
after which the old works were cleared
out, revealing a rich and heavy lode.
Two panies were organized and two
mines opened-the Calumet and the
Hecla. They were not long since COM
solidated, and thus put under one
management The mine produced last
year over 5000 tons of iagot copper.
There are eight shafts on the vein, oo-
cupying three-fourths of q mile, and
more than a mile Of the lode has not
vet been Opened
