WASHINGTON, Aug. 3Oth, 1S75.
 ,a. Washington Irving tells us that the an- cient New Workers came to meet the ene- my ''brimful of wrath and cabbage" . condition similar to the Switzer's-whose experience in gunning your correspondent described last week-when the barber went to read the account to him. Being possessed of a pitchfork, weapon non- explosive, he sssailed his tormentor to such purpose that he drove him from the field and in search of magistrate to ar- rest him for assault and battery. Our little animals seem to work deal of mis- chief directly or indirectly. Some years ago quarrel over skpnk's skin turned the scale of political election, and HOW the barber and Switzer ara declared fees, the former averring he will thrash the lat ter and he assuring the boys that the ''tam barber will no come to read him another paper."

Nothing is more characteristic of the miserable want of uniformity in our rev. enae system than the enormous tax levied on matches. Before the war the box of one hundred matches sold for Q cent. On every such box revenue tax of one cent is now required-a tax of just 100 per cent on the retail price of the goods man. ufactured As one of the manufacturers remarked, a tax of five or ten cents on each cigar. according to quality, would be considered an outrage by the smoker. Yet it would be no more than is imposed on the use of matches-an artlcle not of luxury but of necessity

The most remarkable machine in the factory is the Maxfield Box Machine, pat. ented in 1868, which makes the box after the paper is cut Two prongs, whose ends are kept smeared with fresh glue by by roller, descend upon pile of the pa. per cut as above described. The glue ad. heres to piece of the paper and lifts it up till it is seized by pair of nippers and and drawn under punch where it is creased, punched and squeezed by various ingenious appliances into the exact form required, the glue sticking it fast. This machine is managed by a single girl and turns out from thirty to forty boxes per minute. The large boxes, containing four hundred or five hundred matches, are made by hand, each girl making from twelve hundred to fourteen hundred per day. The boxes are stored in the loft of the building whence they are sent by shutes to the boxing room to be filled.

ST. NICHOLAS FOR JANUARY is, as might
have been expected, an exceptionally beau
tiful issue of this invariably beautiful mag
azine. For a single number of a children's
periodical, its list of contributors is an
unexampled, an astonishing, an extrava-
giant one, for among its stories are: Bayard
Taylor's vivid and charming narrative of
Jon Of Iceland" Edward Eggleston's
characteristic " Hoosier Fairy Story" Lou
lisa NJ. Alcott's jolly account of " Marjorie's
Birthday Gifts" J. T. Trowbridge's CAPT
tai "Bass Cove Sketch" (one of the very
best sketches that this noted author has
ever written), Susan Coolidge's "Toinette
and the Elves" and Abby Morton Diaz's
little story of Getting Up in the World;'
while its list of poems contains H. HIS
est. Christopher" Celia Thaxter's epic
cola," and c. P. Cranch's Glow Willie
Coasted by Moonlight" All these articles,
moreover, ale thoroughly representative of
the individual and widely recognized ability
of their authors, and all but two are beau
tifully illustrated; the gorgeous picture of
"St. Christopher" reproduction of Tin
toretto's celebrated painting, forming
worthy frontispieoe for such brilliant
number. And as for Christmas-well, fig
uratlvely speaking, the good saint gives us
a seat in his reindeer harnessed, overloaded
sleigh, and takes us with him on his annual
journey. We have christmas in the
Arctic Regions" celebrating it in the cabin
of a vessel that lies, icebound, under per-
petual moonlight; "Christmas in the Far
East" in the august presence Of a jeweled
Siamese prince; b" A Southern Christmas
Eve," with flowers instead of snow; in
short, Christmas everywhere until this one
holiday with St. Nicholas has somehow
heightened out into a merry voyage round
the world. The good saint seems, verify,
to have outdone himself, if that were pos
sible, and has certainly given to the chill
dren of the country, in the holiday number
of his namesake, the finest Christmas gift
that Dung America has ever yet received.
