tFrom the Hartford Comm Times
The Inventor Of Friction
NTRtphp9

The inventor of friction matches was
Alonzo Dwight Phillips. He worked In
Hammer & Forbes powder-mill, in East
Hartford, near Manchester, in 1881, and
there, by mixing the Ingredients Of powder,
conceived the idea of igniting a compound
by friction; and by experiments he sue
ceeded in doing it. He was a shoemaker
by trade, and came to Hartford, where he
worked at his trade, on Front Street, and
attempted also to manufacture some of the
matches; but his means were so limited
that he could not produce many. He ap-
piled to DR.. Abial A. Cooley, (the father of
Col. Sam. Cooley who was manufacturing
the best liquid bIacking ever made. and he
assisted Phillips to get his matches into the
market Soon after the matches became
popular, Phillips went into partnership
WIN Nj. Chaplin, Of Cabottvillo, and the
firm turned out large quantities of them.-
Phillips procured wagon and went round
the country selling matches and town or
county rights. In this way he gathered up
considerable sums Of money, but he ex-
pended the money as fast as he got it, and
died poor.

The Postal Department..

1t lis painfully evident to all Obliged to
use the mails in the transaction ofbusiness,
that VIM. Dennisonis not Postmaster Gen
eral. The mismanagement of the mails
between the East and West is disgraceful
in the extreme, and of itself sufficient to
show either that the present head of tho
Department is utterly untitled for his post
ton, or that he devotes his attention 30 eX-
clusively to politics as to preclude his at
tention to his legitimate business,
Mr.. Dennison is a strong business man,
a practical worker, who knew the wants OF
the people, and made It his business TO 500
that they were supplied. Under his man
agement the Postal Department worked
with the accuracy of machinery. He toll
Grated no iucompetents or idiots In bis de-
partment; political services counted for
nothing with him-he would have men
who understood their duty, and would per-
form it. In an evil hour for the business
men of the country, he was crowded out Of
the position, and third-rate politician,
possessing not single qualification forthO
place. was appointed in his stead. The diff
ference between Dennison, the Postmaster
General, and Randall, Johnson's dispenser
of Bread-and- Butter, was made at once
manifest. Faithful and capable men were
removed to make room for hungry office
seekers, and the affairs of the Department
fell Immediately into confusion.
What cannot be cured must be endured,
and we see no hope of relief until the peO-
pie in 1868 bundle out of Office Johnson
and his entire train ofhangers-on.-[T Toledo
