The invention of the lucifer match
was recently claimed by an English
chemist, Mr.. Isaac Holden, in his evil
'dence before the Patent Committee of
Parliament. The production of this
most useful and at the same time most
dangerous tire-work, it is said, was due
to a happy thought which flashed
through the brain of Mr. Holden. This
gentleman was obliged to rise very early
in the morning to pursue his chemical
studies, and experienced great annoy
ance from his tedious efforts to strike a
light by means of flint and steel. He
was giving lectures at the time to avery
large academy. Mr.. Holden says that
he knew the ordinary explosive mat erial
necessary to produce instantaneous light,
but that it was very difficult to obtain a
flame on wood by that explosive mate
rial. The idea then occurred to him to
place sulphur under the explosive sub,
stance, and the expedient proved en-.
tirely successful. The experiment was
exhibited in Mr.. Holden's lecture-room
and young man present immediately
wrote to his father, a chemist in Lon.
don, in reference to the discovery, and
shortly afterwards, it is stated, lucifer
matches were manufactured and offered
for sale.

Owing to the heavy rain yesterday, the
Jackson Railroad Mutual Benevolent Asso-
citation have concluded to postpone until
next Sunday their annual picnic, which was
to have taken place to-day at Kenner. This
picnic promises to be one of the most pleas
ant of the many occasions of amusement that
have taken place this season. There will
be great variety of sports-horse, foot and
sack races, base ball and jumping matches,
the victor in which to receive gold medal
or silver medal or silver cup. The greatest
feature of the sports will be the creased pig,
to be contended for on the principle that
virtue is its own reward; that is, whoever
catches the pig shall keep it. The associa-
ton which gives the picnic is, we learn,
composed entirely of employees on the Jack
son railroad, and its objects are mutual aid
in sickness or disability.

marriages that prove happy are attend
ed by passages during which one or
both of the parties would, were it prac-

those who are best mated by nature
must pass an ordeal of mutual adjust

Mr.. Timerman, of Greene County,
was recently the owner of mastitf
which he had raised, and which was
about two years old, and no doubt the
largest dog in the County On Friday
afternoon Mrs Timerman and lady
neighbor, named Mrs. Eliza Huff, re-
turning home from visit to Catskill,
found the dog occupying the gate, land
would not let them pass. Mrs. Timer
man ordered him away but the mastiff
would not obey until they had thrown
several stones at him. when he took re-
fuge under the kitchen A short time
after; Mrs. Huff, while assisting Mrs.
Timerman in carrying some things
from the house to the kitchen, saw the
dog with stealthy steps and glaring
eyes advancing slowly towards her
She, seeing she could not stop the dog
by word or gesture, at once prepared to
defend herself, as flight was impossible.
As soon as the dog was near her, he
arose on his hind feet and attempted to
size Mrs. Huff by tho throat.


Then ensued combat between the
woman and the dog of about ten min>
utes' duration, and which for It's fierce-
ness scarcely has taralIel in such en-
counters. Mrs. Huff first threw out
her left arm, which the dog bit fear
| fully near the wrist, aud with her right
hand caught the inturiated brute by
the throat, and as soon as her left hand
was released from the grip Of the dog
she seized his under jaw with it


Knowing from every circumstance that
this combat would be lengthy one. as

closed but one, towards which she grad

walk up them backwards, aud when at

The Missouri Democrat, in the
course of an article on divorce, offers the
following sensible remarks:


+" Possibly there is some exaggera-
tion ia the common representations as
to this tendency of the times The
hundreds of thousands of happy homes
whose doors are not thrown open by the
newspapers are forgotten, and undue
importance IN the comparison is pro-
badly given to the hapless homes that
are thus exposed. The prevalent dis
position to elevate hands of horror upon
this sabject is proof that marriage is
still enshrined in the popular heart, and
treasures us that it will survive and be
held in reverence till the crash OF
worlds The greater frequency of di
vorces may, after all, be no indication
of greater unhappiness in the domestic
circle. 1t may be that happy pairs are
more numerous and miserable ones
fewer now then ever. bat that larger
number than formerly of the miserably
mated aspire to be disjoined, and suc>
ceed in the effort AL this may well be,
and We are surely priviledged to console
ourselves aad our numerous readers
with these reflections.


Still it is true that the philosophy
and conditions of marriage are by the
masses very imperfectly understood,
and as true that even the most caltured
often fail the most signally in showing
that they understand them. 1t is the
duty of legislators, however, to do what
ever is possible to be done by enact
ments to remedy the evils of human
error in this respect. la this work they
should begin with the laws as to marri-
age itself. The facility with which the
first mutual sighs of youthful twain
can be formed into thoughtless marital
vows is at least one immense source of
married woe aud of divorce scandal,
and of much more of the former than of
the latter. Marriage is sold at petty
shops, licensed and kept open for that
purpose, much as Justice or whisky is.


This a nuisance and scandal less usu-
ally named as such than divorces are,
and one to be abated by exacting more
'deliberation of the marrying magistrate,
or minister even, and subjecting him to
-surer aud heavier penalties for violation
of the law. 1t should also be met by a
wiser choice of magistrates by the
voters than too often is made. The
divorce law should unquestionabIy be
made much more stringent than it is,
for under it we now have virtually di,
voree shops that drive about as brisk a
trade as marriage shops. We refer
mainly to the divorce lawyers, who cul>
tivate and advertise this speciality, in,
duced and able to do SO through the
laxity of the law.


No person is or shuold be compelled
to live with partner whom he or she
finds intolerable. Such persons can live
apart, and the law must respect his or
her right so to live But in his own
self protection society has also the right
to give such persons choice of evils,
and make it certain that at least he
chooses separation as less evil, rather
than as a greater good. Governor
Browns suggestion, that the Law should
not invite divorces, is both just and

-Four years ago the Republican party,
which had carried the State at the preced-
ing election by $4,000 majority, was divid-
ed and defeated. Tricksters in our ranks
accomplished what the combined enemy
never could have done, and wrought the
defeat of the party which had again and
again borne the Union banner to victory
The State which stood high up in the Lin
coin column of 1864, was thrown into the
hands Of the men who derided him while
living, and slandcred him when dead.
Since then we have experienced nearly
four years Of Democratic misrule. The
Union sentiment of our people has been
shocked and insulted by the elevation of
secessionists to high positions, and the
treasury has been plundered by shameless
legislatures. The time approaches when
the people will be called upon to decide the
destinies of the State for another four
years. Have We learned anything from
! the experience of the past? Are we to
repeat the follies of the campaign Of 1867
Upon the decision of this question rests
victory or defeat Then our party was
broken and demoralized by the efforts of
selfish politicians to thrust themselves
forward at any cost. The welfare of the
party was nothing to them; they only car
ed to use it as stepping stone to Office.
Unhappily that class have not all died in
the last four years. AS the prospects for
a Republican success continue to brighten,
they are beginning to lay their wires in
order to profit by it. In the present emer-
gency success is duty. To obtain it we
must place upon our tickets good men and
true, and none others No candidate, who
is true Republican, will seek to press his
claims to the detriment of the party. If
he is devoted to Republican principles,
and not to selfish interests, he will not
allow his name to stand in the way Of sue
cess 1t is time when the good of the
party should rise superior to personal con-
siderations; when individual candidates
should forbear to press their claims, if by
so doing they endanger the harmony aud
unity which is essential to success He
who would SOW dissensions in our ranks is
no better than a traitor. 1t is no time
now to indulge in private feuds and per-
sonal animosities. Let us close up the
ranks, and move on the enemy in solid
columns, and We shall march to victory.

AT the Republican State Convention
recently held in Rhode Island, the first
resolution passed sums up the record of
what the party has accomplished, which is
a noble monument of patriotism and loyal
ty to the free institutions of the country.
No true Republican can read the follow
ing brief synopsis without feeling pride
and having faith in his party:


Resolved, That we gladly renew our al
legiance to the principles and policy of the
Republican party, and we challenge the
b story of political organizations to parallel
the record of its ten years of national rule.

Four millions of slaves set free; a04
u Labor made free and honorable


Free homesteads offered to all settlers;


The pacific Railroad built;


Liberty and equal civil and political
rights for the first time secured by consti-
tutional amendments 10 as9


The States that broke their connection
reconstructed and restored


Taxation frequently reduced, the last
reduction being eighty millions year;
Z The national debt greatly reduced, two
hundred millions of the reduction taking
place under the present administration;


The national credit raised at home aud
abroad


The price of gold brought steadily down

The revenues vigilantly collected and
honestly disbursed; - -e i,er


The perfect citizenship of all adopted
citizens for the first time protected by set
Ting the doctrine Of expatriation;


The Monroe doctrine yindicated in the

Peace maintained and the national char
acter kept in the highest respect through
out the world. '


We know no way of judging the future
but by the past. ! he Republican party
has never made pledge to liberty and
union which it has not redeemed. From
beginning to end, it has met the desperate
opposition of the Democratic party.
