A bankrupt law of some kind will, in all probability, be enacted during this -session of Congress. Cleveland shonld reconstruct his Cabinet. Garland and Lamar have disgraced themselves and the Administration also. Weed out the rascals or in turn be smothered in their coils is the warning Cleveland's friends are sivine him.

It is an evident fact that England is getting tired of her free trade policy, for it is declared that early the present session of Parliament a bill will be introduced by

Lord 8lisbury imposing prelection '

General W. H. Irwin, f Louisville, Ky., who was extensively

known in Southern Indiana, as the

proprietor of numerous narrow unage roilroad enterprises died on

Monday oi last week of paralysis and softening of the brain. General

Irwin gained considerable distinc

tion as a military man, having served in the Mexican war and being

breveted Brigadier General for consnicnns bravery and eallant ser

vice in the war -of the rebellion.

The State Aaditor is seamag

out to the county officers conies of

the lists for real and personal property to be used in making the sex-

ten nia I assessment, which, he urges, ahonld be done promptly; so that the result can be submitted early to the State Board of Equalization,

which wilt meet ia Jane. The

statute provides that, "in each year

when the real property is listed and assessed the personal property shall be assessed at the same time such

real property is assessed, and by

the same person or persons. Each

assessor when taking lists oi personal property, may correct all er

rors of assessment of real estate

which he may discover on the books

cither in the name of the person to

whom the property is assessed, by

change of ownership or otherwise, or in the description of property."

The assessment ofreai estate wil! be the basis upon which taxes wil be levied until the year ISO.

-Congressman Bragg, of Wisa -a

cousin, nas aiseoverea 8 new and

peculiar conspiracy against the na

tional welfare. It seems according to his showing, that the American girl is systematically marrying the American old soldier for the sole purpose of getting herself placed on the pension rolls in a few years as a widow, contray to the true intent and meaning ot the law. Unless steps shall be taken to limit widows' pensions to women who were wives oi soldiers when the war was in progress, Mr. Bragg gives us to un

durstaad, the Government mast nl timately find itself burdened with a

large assortment of yonng women having no jnst claims upon its hen-

eficteuce. Thus does the work of

reform broaden and deepen voder Democratic auspices.

Among the vast number of changes brought about by the inventive

nowers of man during the present

century, few have proven more ben

eficial or have oeen more conducive

to the personal comfort ot the public at large, than the improvements

in the manufacture of matches. From the clumpy methods ot ob

taining light in vogue in our grand

father's days: to the convenient

match of our own times is a wide

iump. An improvement we can

appreciate more readily, when con

sidering what vexation oi spirit and

annoyance must have attended the

of the primitive tinder box,

flint and steel. That the modern

match is a boon and a blessing to

men, none can deny, and never are

we more sensible of the tact tban

when requiring a light instanter

in some one ot tnose various auci

sudden cases of emergency, which

at one time or other o'er takes s

all. It dosen t aaatter whether its

to light yonr pipe or cigar, or to

bent the lamp, or well, in tact on

any occasion when a match comes in

handy, then does the possession ot

this article give a feeling of satis

faction, and turn versa cause a eor-

resnondinz degree of gloominess to

arise. We are all apt to place a

higher value upon anything we

want, vet cannot easily procure,

than when we have possession of

the same it's a trait in our many

sided natures and in no wise is it

better exemplified than when re

quiring a light : on such occasions

a match appears to us as ttbsolutely

the most indispensable article on

earth. Ascertaining that a gentleman connected with a large match manufactory was a guest at the Orchard House, a reporter for this paper called upon him and found him as

willing to be interviewed as he was

lull of information concerning matches.

'ilow many matches do von think are

made annually in the United States?'' "Well, you lead off with a ques

tion l am not fully prepared to answer strictly statistically," said the gentleman. "But it has been estimated that about ten matches for

each person per day is the average consumption in this country." "When were mutches first invented ? '

"Though various kinds of so-called matches had been in more or less

use tor some time preceding, it was

not until 1829. 1 believe, that the

first really practical friction match

was invented. It was called the

Coogreve, and consisted of small sticks of wood or cardboard coated

with sulphur and tipped with

mixture (f chlorate of potash and

other ingredients." "Did the? ignite sumo as the matches or to-day."

"Ao, the manner of ignition was by drawing them through the folds

of glass or sand paper. The year

following a curious kind of match was invented in Europe. It consisted of a short stiff roll of paper

with a small quantity of chlorate of

potash on one end, with a ttny globale of thin glass containing sulphuric acid attached. To ignite, the glass globule had to be broken, the sulphuric acid then ran out and acting on the chlorate of potash produced fire." "What was fbe earliest kind of match ?' "Well, I believe that about tbe

first form

the frame containing them being j placed into an apparatus and subjected to a certain degree of beat,

they are put up by hand. I he matches known as parlor matches are dipped in para (line oil -before before being dipped in the igniting compound, which consists largely ol phosphorus and eh 1 orate of potash. Chlorate and potash being the ingredient -which causes the sharp explosive sound when a match is struck.

the sulphur matches, as the cheap

kind arc called, are dipped in mol

ten sulphur."

Phosphorus is, I presume the principal

incrcdiont in the icnitine eomnouttd, ia it

not ?" asked the reporter.

"Yes," was the oreply, '"asd tire

use of it has not been free from serious disadvantages, I am sorry to

The fumes arising from the

phosphorus during the various pro

cesses cause among the work people

a disease of an alarming nature:

Tst attacks the teeth, then the jaw

bone, causing rapid decay of both.

Those workmen who attend to the

dipping process are mostly attacked by this disease, in consequence

of having to come in such close proximity to the phosphorus. To such an extent did this disease pre

vail in Germany, at one time, that the attention of the government was called to it. It has demonstrated, however, that with the most scrupulous attention to ventilation and cleanliness, almost all risk may

in London to create a speculation

in confederate bonds. A prominent banker interviewed for the New York Herald says : "These people aretillworking away in the wild

hope of educating or stultifying the

American people in granting them what they call their just demands. An Ex-Attorney -General, who held office some few years after tbe close of the war of secession has given an opinion favorable to the bond-holders' claims, which is printed and distributed her, 'but his name is withheld. It omits to mention the Constitutional amendment, about the hundred millions worth of bonds now collected in London. Fully seven-eighths of these are held by foreigners, and points have lately Veen given out here, to boom Confederate bonds. As I understand it, sums of money have been raked by assessment on the holders for a spurt.

not attended to, then direful results

follow."

'Has nothing been done to avoid the use utthis harmful compound?"

"Oh, yes, strenuous efforts have been made by inventors from time

to time to introduce igniting com

pounds in which no phosphorus

was used, but with indifferent success. The existing objections to the

use of phosphorus seemed about to

be overcome when the modified con

dition of that body known as red

phosphorus was discovered. It is

perfectly innocuous, but matches in

tbe igniting compound of which

the red phosphorus was used, never

came into general use: they were

difficult to strike, required a specia

surface to ignite on, and when they did influmc it was with a loud ex-

oiosive noise."

"Do you know anything about the matched" known as vestas and vesnvinns

or fusees?" the reporter asked.

"Not very much." was the reply

"They are manufactured in England

and France. The vestas are made

bv dipping a number of cotton

threads in molten wax and then tip

ing them with the ordinary ignit

ing compound, ihe vesuvians or

fusees, as they arc sometimes term

ed, have a large head, which is ob

tamed by several dippings in a mixture of charcoal, saltpetre, glass and gum. Some cascarilli or other scented bark is also an ingredient, causing an agreeable perfume to be given when blazing. They are manufactured-specialiy for the use of smokers, as they burn well in rain or wind. You ought to have one now," said the match man as a

puff of wind through the opening door blew out the match the reporter had just essayed to light his cigar with.

the satks during the month have been enormous, and that they were confined to no particulr store, stores or neighborhood. But here and iu

New York the people, it is demonstrated by their enormcms aggregate

purchases, are generally employed

and receiving wages beyond all

real needs, the -outlay -being not confined to capitaRsfs,great or small, but being indulged in by the representatives of labor as fully as by

any others. That is an important

fact, as it disproves the cry of the "demagogues that "the rich are grow-

ng ricliec and the poor poorer."

The latter are not growing poorer;

they are, on the contrary, growing richer, and their liberality in pur

chasing and their ability to indulge

their liberality during tbe month

have proved that the latter is the

case, un tne prosperity oi an uie

at present prosperous and unless all

very much more so.

A Suggestion.

Within the next six months our

County Conventions will nominate tbe candidates for county officers.

Usually, in a County Convention

tbe candidates for Commissioner are named at the close; after all other business is attended to, and every body is tired, and nobody cares

much, these nominations are made

We suggest that the order be revers

ed, and let the Commissioners be

nominated first, for the very good

reason that Commissioner is the

most important office to be filled

Some one bas said that as far as the

interests of the people is affected the County Commissioner is a more important office than that of President

ot the United states, it is an ot-

fice in which every citizen is direct

ly interested, and it should receive due attention. Let us have the

best men for Commissioners. VOTER.

der box. It was made of thin strips of resinous wood dipped in sulphur,

and was ignited by the striking of

a spark by the flint and steel. This was in universal use until the Congreve match was introduced, from which tbe present kind of match bas developed. Of course there were other matches brought out in the interim, but none were successfull. In the year 33 of this century , the manufacture of the phosphorus friction match of the present, was commenced almost simultaneously in different parts of the Europe, and has flourished ever since, both over there and in this country. The proverbial inventiveness of Americanism was soon at work, and the industry, which, as you are aware, is an important one, is now carried on with a most complete system of machinery." "What kind of wood is chiefly used ?" "Yellow and white pine, poplar and aspen. White pine is really the bent. It possesses the requisite degree of softness together with inflammability. The wood is sawn into blocks of the uniform size, and then split by machinery. Some machines tnrn out as many as 18,000,000 splints a day. The dipping process then follows, and a skillful workman can dip about 8,000,000 a day. "Is this done by hand or machinery ?'' "By machinery of course. The splints are airanged by a machine separately, and at uniform distances from each other, between lathes in another machine, then dipped. After being dried, whieb is done by

a, joke is a mystery to some people.

In a certain court in this btate one

time the proceedings were delay

ed bv a witness named barah Mony

to arrive. After waiting a long time for Sarah the court concluded to wait no longer, and wishing to

crack his little joke, remarked:

"This court will adjourn without

Sarah mony." Everybody laughed

except one man, who sat in silent

meditation for five minutes, and then burst into a hearty guffaw ex

claiming, "I see it! I see it!"

When he went home he tried to tell

the joke to his wife. "There was a witness named Mary Mony who

didn't come," said he, "and the

court said : 'We'll adjourn without Mary Mony.' " "I don't see a point to that," said his wife. "I believe

it," said he, "I didn't ai first but

An ex-member of the Jeff Da

vis Cabinet, one Reagan, of Texas, is anxious to regulate the pension

business. He wants the laws amended ao that only soldiers dis

abled while in the service, or their

wives at that time, may receive pensions. The thousands of brave men who were made physical wrecks in rebel prison pens or from disease,

are, in the opinion of this loyal

Congressman, not justly entitled to

pensions. He characterized pension

legislation as "only a bid for the vote of the soldiers." Give the Bourbon time and he will show his

hand.

It is not only in the iron and steel trade that activity and prosperity are as conspicuous again by their presence as they lately were by their absence. All the great industries are fairly active and prosperous,and

are looking forward to the opening

ot the spring trade with the most confident anticipations. The stock with which over production had

loaded warehouses and stores has been in rapid course of reduction,

and the activity of the holiday trade, which was unprecedented in

Tbe Value or a Chorus. Tbe pith and body of these great Mny Festivals to which primarily Cincinnati owes her musical fame, bas beon the chorus of the Husical Festival Association. Thiabodv of earnest and self-sacrificing

sinenrs may iustlv demand a tiibute of

gratitude from all the tens of thousands of listeners, both in Cincinnati and the regions round about for three hundred miles; for what is tbe paltry sacrifice of a few dollars which tho passive listeners make in the cause of music, when contrasted with tbe loan and weary journeye, the indefatigablo practice, and limitless patiftneo of those hard-worked and non-paid

ohnristors? On them falls the burden of

tbe chief labor.lhey alone have tho drudgnrv. thov alone receive nothinc but tho de

light ot severe toil and the genial glow of

gladness wnen tne wormy ibsk is ui wily completed. The value of a permanent and treat chorus in a community cannot

be easilv estimated. Each individual of

the six hundred is a radiating center of high enthusiasm for what is best in music and each one, by talk of matters musical, as well as by direct influence, aids to stimulate tho general culture of tnusio in all its branches. So beautifully as by some great magnetic attraction or electric influence, do all high and noblo things work together for good to the world. It is moro difficult for emptiness and hollow pretension to gather a constituency in Cincinnati than in any other American city, because of tho familiarity with the loftiest music, brought about, in a groat measure, by these biennial festivals.
