Accidental Discovery of Matches.

We believe the invention of lucifer
matches is attributed to Isaac Holden,
a well-known Bradford manufacturer,
formerly a member of the British. par
Lament. He was at the time classical
master in an academy at Reading, and
was in the habit of giving chemical
lectures twice a week to a number of
youths. In an examination before a
select committee of the house of COM
mons, Mr.. Holden thus told the story
of the invention of that exceedingly use
full article, the lucifer match. 81 beg
an as an inventor on a very small scale,''
said Mr.. Holden, in the course Of his
evidence. "FOr what know, l was
the first inventor of lucifer matches;
but it was the result of a happy thought.
In the morning l used to get up at 4
O'Clock in order to pursue my studies,
and l used at that time the flint and
steel. in the use of which l found very
great inconvenience. l gave lectures
in chemistry at the time at a very large.

chemists did, the explosive material
that was necessary in order to produce

N DAVENPORT


"a lOlS 4Idut.
From tho Dramatic News.
Scarcely had Miss Fanny Davenport
and Mr.. Edwin Price been made one
flesh before the Dramatic Neps was
showered upon with all sorts of notes,
and letters, and postal-cards protesting
that something ought to be done
about it." which, of course, was a
circuitous way of requesting the Dram
attic Neps to turn its double-shotted
batteries on the happy bride and groom.
The Dramatic Netcs, however, respect
fully declines to do anything of the sort,
and for the following reasons:
In the first place, Miss Davenport's
private affairs are no oncern whatever
either of the Dramatic Netcs or of its
readers-so long as Miss Davenport
does not make them public. Last week,
when Miss Davenport had given no
sign of her intention to marry Mr..
Price, we protested that it was scandal
GUS, under the circumstances, for Mr..
Price to be Miss Davenport's compan-
ion and associate on the stage. Her
marriage to him has removed that OBJ
lection absolutely.
In the second place, Miss Dayenport's
marriage seems to have entirely and
completely satisfied the only person act
ually involved. AT one time it looked
asif Mrs. Kate Baker Price, Miss Dayen-
ports immediate predecessor in Mr..
Prices affections, really had a griev-
ance. Her friends, who were never so
numerous as they were or this occasion,
protested that she was heart-broken,
that she was dying, and her husbands
.infidelity had killed her. And it did
look at one time as if the fate of Mrs.
Price No. l was a hard one, beyond the
reach of all consolation.
But We are glad to learn that the
who matter has been amicably adjusted
all around. Mrs. Price No. 1, makes a
complete and thorough convey and
transfer of Mr.. Price to Mrs. Price No.
2, on the following conditions:
Mr.. Price is to pay Mrs. Price No, /,
the sum of So, 600 down and S25 a week.
and Mrs. Price No. on her part, with
draws all objections to his becoming the
.consort of Mrs. Price No. 2.
OF course, as Mrs. Price No. l thor
oughly understands, the $1,000 paid
down nominally by Miss Davenport,
the Mrs. Price No. 2 of the complica-
ton. So that Mrs. Price No. l as a
matter of fact, turns Mr.. Price over to
Mrs. Price No. 2 in consideration of
So, 1000.
We are glad to learn this, because it
disproves the theory that Mrs.
Price No. l is a heart-broken and dying
woman, and also, because it seems to
us an eminently j%udicious way of max
ing the best of a very bad bargain so far
rs Mrs. Price No. l is concerned. Mr..
in any a was a lost article of
property so far rs Mrs. Price No. / was
involved. He had left her, anyhow,
and, if she had not consented to take
$1,000 and the S25 a week, she would
have made a present of him to
her successor.
How much wiser, and shrewder, and
more comfortable all around to collect
large al amount of money on him,
when, in point of fact, he was utterly
and completely lost to her, and nobody
else in the world showed the lightest in
clination to bid a dollar for him.

NEw YoRK, March 22.-Thc dispatches
from England declaring that number Of
live cattle shipped from Boston to Liver
pool on the steamer Brazilian were slaugh-
tered because OF the existence among them
OF pleuro-pneumonia are reported incor-
rect by shippers in this city, who have re-.
ceived private dispatches that the cattle
were slaughtered in accordance with an
order OF the Privy Council prohibiting the
landing of any live cattle from the United
States and directing them to dc sIaugh-
tered within ten days aiter arrival. A
number OF shippers in this Goun-
try continue to send live cattle,
this being less expensive than 10 send
dead meat in refrigerators, and the meat
commands better price. Shippers, in
their own interest, use every precaution
to send only perfectly sound cattle. They
say that the order OF the Privy Council has
not causel any falling Off in the demand
for American beef in England, and the
meat commands 90 good prices as formerly.
1t is probable that tho shipment Of live
cattle will continue, and many shippers
look for rapid growth Of the trade as the
weather becomes warmer: The shipment
OF live sheep to Europe for market pur.
poses is rapidly growing, more than 1000
having been shipped from this port since
the first Of the present month. The sheep
are brought from Ohio and Pennsylvania,
and sell ut the same rates as domestic
animals in England and on the Continent.
The shipment Of pork still continues, but
business with tho, Continent has fallen Of
somewhat since Italy and Portugal have
forbidden its transportation. 1t is said
Spain aud France contemplate issuing a
similar order. All pork shipped abroad
is dead meat, MS pigs are poor sailors, and
one or two ventures made have resulted
in loss by death OF nearly seventy.iiyc pei
cent Of the cargo. None OF the steamers
which sailed from hero for Euorpe to-day

depredations. The committee then visited

Schneegans pointed out that Bismarck,
the responsible Minister OF the present

from the complex bureaucratic system

themselves citizens OF q well ordered State,

bridge by which the benefits OF both
