Lucifer Matches.

Major Noah of the Sunday Messenger gives an interesting account of the great Lucifer, or Locofoco, match establishment of Mr. Burger, in New York. Not one in ten thousand of the people who are momentarily indebted to this useful invention knows any thing as to the mode of its manufacture. If we had the control of fame in this world we would place the inventor of these matches in the rolls of that fickle deity a little ahead of the name of Bonaparte or any other conqueror before or since the days of Alexander. But the fellow's name is lost, and we can only worship his shade.

Major Noah says that five lots of ground on the corner of Thirtieth street and the second Avenue are covered by the buildings of Mr. Burge's match establishment. He thus proceeds:

The quantity ot matches turned out there daily will seem almost incredible to those unacquainted with the extent to which ingenious machinery multiplies production. Four hundred groce or about six millions of matches is the average number manufactured per day; and by a division of labor equal to that in a pin factory, every stick passes through at least thirty different hands.

The machinery employed is well worth seeing. An eight horse power steam engine on the first floor drives the machinery, which cuts out blocks of the required size from three inch plank.— Circular saws which make 100 revolutions per minute, divided the blocks into the required number of matches turning out no less than 264,000 per hour! "Clark's matches"—a square split match which is generally used—is made in a similar way. Nor is this all the work done by the saws, the cases in which the matches are packed are also made by these "revolvers." In short the machinery does the rough work in all the processes, manufacturing not only 264,000 matches per hour but 300 round match boxes within the same time to put them in. About 20 men are employed on the first floor.

The paper match-boxes are made on the second floor. They are cut into shape—covers as well as boxes—with a Worrall's cutting press, and the making up of these boxes also gives employment to some 100 women at their own homes. There is a laboratory in this part of the factory, where the blue composition is applied to one end of the matches; antd the white to the other.— They are at this time double the ordinary length, and being divided in the middle two separate lots are formed one lot being tipped with white, the other with blue.

Twenty-five hands are employed in this portion of the establishment and their working is ten hours per day.— They can readily pack 100 groce per day, ready for the vendor's hands.— Seventy or eighty children occupy another room on the same floor. Their business is to arrange the matches, and they earn from ten to fourteen shillings a week, according to their expertness and industry. In a third room, the matches are dipped in the sulphur, and then gradually dried by a moderate heat.

There is one other room on this floor, and there the finishing touch is given, by the application of the phosphorus.— Eight or ten hands have charge of this department, and when their work is done, and the matches again dried, they are fit for use. And here we have a curious fact to state. It has generally been thought the fumes of phosphorus and sulphur were deleterious to health, but this theory is strikingly contradicted by the fact that not one of the two hundred men, boys and girls employed in the factory has been attacked during the prevalence of the cholera—that they have been utterly exempted from diarrhoea, dysentery, and other affections of the bowels. Indeed, a more healthy community could not be found within the city limits. ———————

Queer Story of a Panther. My friend, while on his visit, hunting in the wilderness of timber that spread over that vast country, with an old and experienced hunter, when to his horror it was soon discovered they were pursued by an enormous panther. Sud denly the animal broke cover. On he came upon them bounding like a cata ract, making tremendous leaps. What should they do? It was hazardous to discharge their pieces, as that would enrage the panther the more if they should chance to miss, or only wound without disabling him. What should they do? There was no time for premeditation. A certain horrid death stared my friend in his face. His young blood froze— his hair stood on end.

The hunter, however, was a man well informed in the nature and habits of the animal. Seeing a largo tub or cask, near by, which had been left there probably by some wandering emigrant, ne seized my friend by the shoulder and dragged him behind it, telling him, as he did so, that the panther never leaped upon its object when it was concealed from its view.

There they were,couching behind the tub, the panther gradually rounding up to them. Suddenly so soon as the

4var-

mint' was near enough, they raised the tub in an inverted position and pitched it right on top of him, and theu mounted guard to keep it down.

The panther, finding himself thus entrapped, kept up a most fearful noise more terrific than the roaring of Mount Vesuvius. The hunter*soon devised a way by which he got the panther's tail through the bung hole. "Come bear a hahd," said he, "and let's tie a knot in his tail?" which was soon done.

4Now,r

said the hunter,

•now for your life!' and off they started, running lor their lives. They hadn't gone far, however before they heard a tremendous noise like a tornado. They looked behind and there saw the panther running in a, contrary direction, lashing the timber with the tub at his tail, as if the devil was after him.

My friend couldn't help smiling at the spectacle and ever since, whenever he sees a panther going about in menage* ries, he ctn't keep from laughing at tbe odd trick of the tub.
