A Democratic writer complains because
Genral Grant actually showed himself on
the streets on New Years. Is this parti-
san complaint caused by the fact that the
President and Vice President drove over to
Arlington and spent part of their New
Years afternoon visiting the graves OF the
10. 900 soldiers buried there?

And now you are chuck full of business, and

The editor sat IN his sauctum, and brought down
his fist with thump;
"God bless that old farmer" he muttered, "he's
regular, jolly old trump"
And it's thus with our noble profession and thus it
will ever be still;
There are some who appreciate its labor, and some
who perhaps never WILL
But in the great time that is coming, when Ga

And they who have labored and rested shall come
from the quiverng ground
When they who have sIriven and suffered to teach

Shall march at the front of the column, each one

As they pass through the gates Of The City, with

The editor, printer and devil will travel not far

Fireworks.

Contrary to the general impression,
the trade in fireworks has increased rap
idly during the past few years. All the
manufacturers are producing larger guam
titles than ever before. Indeed, one well
known firm made estimates at the begin
ming OF the present manufacturing season
Oh the basis of an increase of thirty five
to forty per cent of production and sale,
and this has been found far too small
The amount of Chinese crackers i'm
ported the present year exceeds by fifty
thousand boxes the importations of any
previous year. The total importations APP
proximate two hundred and fifty thou sand
boxes, representing a cash value of more
than half million dollars, all to be burn
ed up by patriotic boys in one day. The
Chinese crackers are of different grades,
costing from 81 - to$40 box, and some
of the larger sizes sold are warranted to
crack the largest and thickest plate glass
window that can be found. About two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth
of torpedos are made in this country an
nually. Aside from these, rockets and
Roman candles constitute two-thiIds of all
the fireworks manufactured here. Some
idea of the importance of these three
items can be formed from the fact that
single firm has made this year about So
100000 torpedoes, 100000 rockets which
will burst into over 100000 stars, and
over 100000 Roman candles, containing
about 100000 stars.
Large sums of money are spent yearly
in new devices of exhibition pieces for mu-
nicipal celebrations For instance, in this
city there are public displays usually at
fifteen different points, the cost of which
can be roughly estimated at fifteen thou
sand dollars. The smaller cities, such as
Troy, Utica, Rochester, Syracuse, and so
forth, spend sums, yearly, varying from
$500 to $1,000. Boston usually spends the
latter amount on her public display; Bal
timore about $1,000; Chicago an equal
amount; Cincinnati about 81 900. The
cost Of exhibition pieces" as the larger
and more elaborate designs are called,
reach as high as g, 90, which was the
value of a single piece exhibited in this
city in 1869. The highest price of those
made for the ordinary trade is about S25
