Here was Leviathan, no longer afraid of the daggers of English cavaliers or French clergy, but "frightened from his propriety" by a row in an ale-house between some honest clod-hoppers of Derbyshire, whom his own gaunt scare-crow of a person that belonged to quite another century, would have frightened out of their wits.

At the appointed time, Mr. Butler waited upon the Judge, where he found Friend Hopper in attendance.

He accordingly hastened to Isaac T. Hopper for advice and assistance.

My kind friend, the choreman, let me go with him when he carried the lye from the hopper to the soap fat barrel.

He saw the corn go in by the hopper into the trough which was the real hopper, for it kept constantly hopping to shake the corn down through a hole in the middle of the upper stone, which went round and round against the lower, so that between them they ground the corn to meal, which, in the story beneath, he saw pouring, a solid stream like an avalanche, from a wooden spout.

They charged Friend Hopper with playing a trick upon them, and threatened to prosecute him.

The landlord stood in the door-way, and tried to prevent Friend Hopper from passing in; but he pushed him aside, and went up to the chamber, where he found Levin with his hands tied, and guarded by five or six men.

"One can't accomplish anything with a clod-hopper like that," he said.

When he is picking up worms and sand-hoppers on the wet sand he is easily observed.

The buckets, a motor being applied to one pair of wheels, thus automatically fill themselves, and on arriving at top are made to tip their contents, and jar themselves, automatically into a hopper by means of a small pinion, keyed to the shaft by which they are attached to the endless chain, becoming engaged in a small rack fixed for that purpose.
