RIVER Plate "A London letter OF October 10Th, in
the New York Commercial, says:
The mails from the river Plate this month bring most
unexpected and satisfactory intelligence OF the progress
of events at Buenos Ayres The advces a few weeks
ago led TO the belief that the deposition OF Rosas had
merely resulted in his place being filled by still more
determined despoi, General Urquza bavng apparently
thrown off the principles which he had proiessed up to
The hour of conquest, to establish undlsgused die
tatorship.
IL is now stated however, not only that he has made
use OF the supreme power, which he thus assumed, IN
bringing about The most beneficial changes for commerce.
bat that he has also ntmaled intention OF summoning
the national Congress al an early period aud proposing
the adoption OF liberal constitution. BY special decree
he has opened the rivers Plate Parana and Uruguay to
the vessels OF all nations He has also established
efficient bonding system, and has commenced, at the
same lime, a decided reform OF the currency,
panied by a rerencbment OF the public expenditure.
simultaneously with these measures moreover he has
performed act OF grace which has apparently added
much TO his popularity in restoring 10 kosas the large
estates that had been conhscated on his Sight lie is not

sequence OF these tidngs immediate rise Of nearly
per cent in Buenos Ayfes bonds, which went from
about 70 So still greater advance would have taken
place but for the doubts which invariably arise TO the
possibility OF any enlightened course beng permanently
pursued in a South American republic.

Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes tells us how
the members Of the medical profession fee
when the 'poison-chalice" Of their prescrip
tions is commended to their own lips; in
other words when the visitor becomes the
visitee:
"Just change the time, the person and the place,
And be yourself, the interesting case"
You will gain some knowledge which it's well to
learn;
In future practice it may serve your turn.
Leeches, for instance e-pleasing creatures, quite;
Try them, and bless you! don't you think they
bite.
You raise blister for the smallest cause
And be yourself the great snblme it draws;
And trust my statement, you will not deny
The worst Of craftsmen is your Spanish Fly.
It's mighty easy ordering when you please,
'L,fmsi Lenc capiat umias tres;'
It's mighty different when you quackle down
Your own three ounces Of liquid brown.
'PILULA PULv1s'-pleasant words enough
When OTHER jaws receive the shocking stuff;
But, oh! what flattery can disguise the groan
That meets the gulp which sends it through your
6wn'

Matches.

Many barbarous nations unacquainted
with the methods in use among civilized
people for procuring instantaneous fire, OBJ
tain it BY rubbing dry pieces of hard against
pieces of soft wood. Flint, steel, and tinder
were employed for the same purpose, for
centuries, but this age could not be content
nor put up with such poor methods Of obtain
ing quick fire. Matches were first made
with their ends dipped in sulphur, which
were infamed by dipping them it bottle
containing phosphorus, which was called the
Devils Bottle" The phosphorus bottle
was first superseded by coating sulphur
matches with the chlorats of potash, and by
dipping them into bottle containing ashes
tus moistened with sulphuric acid, they
quickly inhamed These matches were
again superseded by the lucifer friction
match which was inAamed by simple fiction
without the use Of an acid Or phosphorus
bottle. The inventor Of this match is un-
known; he was a public benefactor to the
human race, and deserves a monument
These matches are first dipped in sulphur,
and into composition Of l6 parts gum ara
bic, 9 parts phosphorus, II parts nitre, l6
parts of manganese-by measure and then
all worked up with water. Tho mixture is
made into a thick paste, into which the
matches are dipped and then dried in heat
ed room made safe from contact with fire.
Matches can be made without using sulphur,
by dipping them into fused stearine instead
of the sulphur. They spoil, however, by
very little heat, and frequently miss fire.
The chlorate of potash has been employed
along with phosphorus, and the matches con-
tanning this salt, when drawn across piece
of sand paper, crackle with series of small
explosions They are dangerous matches
and the mixing Of the ingredients in dry
state is always attended with danger
Matches are very convenient, and are now
an Indispensable article in every household.
1t is not many years ago since we had topay
sixpence for box Of matches not half the
size of the one now sold for a cent. In
Germany and Russia there are some very
large lucifer match factories, the operatives
in which were subject to dreadful diseases
caused by the phosphorus This led an
eminent Austrian chemist, Prof Schrotter,
to devote his time to obviate this evil. and
at last he made the grand discovery Of treat
ing phosphorus by heat, 50 as to bring it In
to an equally efficient condition for matches,
but perfectly safe and innoxious to the oper-
ativc. His discovery was first exhibited at
the Worlds Fair. A full description Of the
mode employed to render phosphorus amor
phous, is described on page 1877, Volume 7,
Scientific American. Having had some en-
quiries about nnatches--the composition they
are made Of &C., within few weeks, the
above will convey information on the subject
to many who are now unacquainted with the
same lScientihc american.
