The First Lucifer.

Necessity is the mother of inven-
tion, and it is to mother Necessity
that we are indebted for that very
useful but dangerous lit le house
hold article-the lucifer match.
Mr.. Isaac Holden, in his evidence
before the English Patent Com
mittee, thus gives the history of the
invention, which, he says, was due to
a happy thought that flashed upon
him without any previous consider
alton. Mr.. Holden, many years ago,
had to rise at four IN the morning
to pursue his studies In chemistry,
and experienced the gravest incon-
venience from his tedious efforts to
obtain q light from flint and steel.
He was giving lectures at this time
to very large academy. He goes
on to say ''Of course I knew as
other chemists did, that the ex-
plosiVe material was necessary
in order to produce instantaneous
light but it was very difficult to OBJ
tain light on wood by that explo-
sive material and the idea occurred
to me to put under the explosive
mixture sulphur. I did that and
published it in my next lecture, and
showed it. There was q yong man
In the room whose father was a
chemist in London, and he immedi-
ately wrote to his father about it,
shortly afterwards lucifer matches
were issued to the world.

ABig Bone.



A correspondent of the Louisville
Courier Journal, writing from
Morton County. Ind, tells the fol-
lowing story about the discovery of
big bone:
"While engaged this fall angling
in the east fork of White River, at
the falls, at q very low stage of wa
ter, I made my boat fast to what I
supposed q root, but tupon examina-
tiou found it to be a bone, of some
large animal, much larger than any
OF the animal species we have any
knowledge of at the present day.
The bone must have been deposited
many thousand years ago, from the
fact that some thirty five feet in
depth of earth had been formed over
it since it was buried the bank of
the river has been washing a say for
the last twenty-five years. and I sup
pose that fifty yards or more have
been carried away or, in other
words, the distance from where the
river bank now is to where it was
twenty-five years ago Is more than
fifty yards. The portion of the
bone found weighs fifty pounds, and
is completely incrusted with what
seems to be iron, mixed with coarse
gravel which is the character of the
earth In which it was deposited.
The form of the bone is about two
feet long, with q slight curve four
teen inches in diameter in the CEN
tire, at which point there is q socket,
evidently for the support of some
other bone, ten inches in diameter.
Two inches from the socket the main
bone forks, throwing off two prongs,
one five inches in diameter and
about one inch long, and the other
about four inches in diameter and
five inches long, each having the ap-
psarance of a knuckle to connect
with some other portion of the body,
the opposite end of the bone seems to
be the main limb, hind or fore leg.
It is broken of about twelve inches
from the socket before mentioned, at
which point it assures the shape of
round shaft, six inches in diane
ter.
Some years since q number of
large bones were found in this vi
cinity, and it is thought that at some
period in the history of the world
this part of the country was the re-
sort Of some unusually large ami
mails. This would be a great field
for naturalists and scientific hunters
of fossils and other curiosities, and
should command their attention.

MANIFEST DESTINY.

Nothing is as it was of old.

AnecdOte Of Henry Clay.

One of the most noted members
of the twenty-seyenth Congress was
Thomas. T. Marshall of Kentuckey.
He came to Washington with high
reputation as an eloquent advocate
and a risinglawyer. He was fine
scholar, of elegant culture, lively i'm
agination, and good logical powers.
BE spoke with fuency and anima-
ton, and always commanded the at
tention of the House. But his hab-
it's were erratic, and he was absent
from the Capitol nearly half the
time. There was an old family feud
between Mr.. Clay and the Marshalls,
and the Representative from Louis
vile partook af the animosity of his
relative, who lad met Mr.. Clay in
single combat. Marshall was deci-
dedly opposed to the Bank bill
which the President had vetoed, and
in conversation on the Av-
enue attacked it in O strain of argu-
ment and ridicule of the most efec-
tive character.
Bravo, Tom " said bystander,
L never heard anything better in
my life. Why don't you make that
speech in the House There's not
a man there who can answer it.
Why don't I, sure enough? Do
you know what the people of Ken
tuckey sent me to Congress for :?
Not to act upon my own judgement,
not to carry out their wishes, but to
vote at the dictation of Henry Clay.
There's 8 collar around my neck

A Valuable Invention.


The Iron Ade has an account of a
new instrument for indicating the
velocity of fowiRg liquids and for
measuring the speed of ships, called
the rhysimeter, which has been
invented in England. The capacity
to measure the speed of ships is a
highly important application of the
instrument. The apparatus here
tofore used Gin connection with the
half minute glass; for that purpose,
the wellknown "log" attached to
the Iog-line and dropped over the
stearn of the vessel, is avery mac
curate method of measurement, as a
heavy sea sometimes throws it after
the ship, while head sea may car
~ it in the opposite direction. The
glass also measures the half minute
with difficulty in dry and damp
weather; and the line is liable to
change its length. Even the best
substitutes for the log are said to be
not lyVays reliable. By the new
invention the indicator may be in
the captains cabin. 1t is said to
resemble in size and ap-
pearance barometer. In it 8
column of mercury indicates
continually the speed of the ship,
The full effect ofthe velocity is: i'm,
parted to the mercury without any
appreciate loss by friction or other
wise, so that the indicators must al
ways be absolutely carrect. The
instrumen may be made selfregister
ing, showing on dial the total mum
Der of knots the ship has run, and
marking on sheet of paper the
precise speed attained at all periods
of the voyage. The practical value
Ofsuch an invention is obvious.

Growth Of Speculation.

AmOngthe evils that have befallen
this county is the grievous one of
extravaganza. perhaps express
ourselves too strongly, but it is
difficult to find another word for
our meaning in alluding to the fact
that so many spent more money
than their earnings justify. The
Chinese, who are a nation given to
proverbs, say that there is nothing
so difficult as retrenehment, and
herein there may be some excuse for
what we censure, as in most In
stances In this country our incomes
have not kept pace with the addi-
tional cost Of living, which has SO
rapidly advanced of late years.
Many therefore, subjected to this
increasing braden, have been unable
to resist temptation to exc out their
meanes by speculation, in the pur-
suit OF (which they may have ap-
proprlated property temporarily
confded to their care by others, but
with the intention of making full
restoration at some later time.
Many public institutions have Of
late years been sufferers from this
cause, and their very existence i'm
periled, not so much by the ex-
tent of the loss incurred, as by the
consequent withdrawal Of con-
fdence.

The Book OF Proverbs.

IF you wish to find a system of
ethics better than all the "Poor
Richards " for practical use, and bet
ter in theory than all the books Of
casuistry studied in the schools,
read the Book OF Proverbs. It is a
wonderful book. It is full of COM
mon sense. It is discriminating and
yet downright. IL hits the nail
squarely every time. As a means of
success in business, as q wade me-
cum in our intercourse with men,
good and bad, sluggish and excita-
bic, cunning and simple, with men
Of all sorts In all sorts In all states,
with all characters, there is nothing
in literature which equals it or even
resem bles it. I advise you to make
it 8 rule of your life to read two YER
ses in Proverbs before commencing
the work of each day. If you would
like to have the Bame of never doing
a foolish thing, or using u foolish
argument, or uttering a foolish
opinion, study the Proverbs Of Sol
OWoR tall the spirit has penetrated
to the very marrow of your daily
life.
