• Row Matctara arc Made. Everybody nasi matches, bat everybody it eot lamiliar with the process ef their maootactare. This wet our esse until a few days since, when chance gave as en opportunity of witnessing the interesting - operation, at the ezlensire factory of oor j well-known towoiman,*Frederick Zeiss. Through the eourlery or tbe soperioteo- ' deal, we, were tbo wo through the entire j establishment, commencing in tbe base- : moot, where are located the machines for cntting the sticks. These sticks are cot 'roro solid bluets of tbo best while pine, with almost miraculous rapidity. Tbree : machines, operated by three boys and two men, will turn ont daily a billion of match i •ticks, round or square. Tho present j doily prodact of these machines i» 'four : million tbree hundred end tuoniy thou- i sood piece#, ell ef which are mode ioto complete matches, boxed, stamped and packed into quarters of a gross, und ready for market, at this establishment during ; ten working honis. After tbe aticka ere cnt, they are made up Into large bundles'and placed ia the drying room, whence they are taken to what are called the "coiling" machines, where, by a rapid and moat intereatiog end ingenioui process, they are regularly# arranged in large coils or cylinders, each stick having Its appropriate place, entirely asperated from its fellows, and yol held firmly in the precise position it shonld uccupy. This is essential to the perfect application of tho tnlpbnr and phosphorus. A workman inspects the coil, and with plyers dexterously removes imperfect slicks; after which it ia placed on a solid fiat turlace, and the enda evened up by meant of light blown from a broadraced mallet. It it now ready for the sulphuring process, the first step in which it to lay tbe ceil on a large plate of iron, sufficiently hot to heal tbe ends of the sticks rapidly, without burning or charring thrm. This flta them for the solphur, which, in a liquid form, is contained in a brBtd shallow pan, heated by a gentle fire. Tbe entire "coil" containing 14,400 marches, eoongb far a groas of boxes, is sulphured ou both sides io.less time tuun is required to indite Ibis sentence. It is the work of an instant, tbe solpber drying immediately, and leaving the coil ready for tbe fire-prodnciog composition, which is made of phosphorus end j glue. This lest coating is applied as rapidly as tbe sulphur, end driea, in good wenShCTvin about too minutes, when the /a ils-err placed in the cutting machine, .jrfid the sticks, each oee of which form# two complete matches, are rapidly severed in two, aod by means of an endless belt conveyed to a receiver, which, when fell, Is transferred to the boxing apartment. a largo lumber of persons ere engaged In boxiog, stamping and packing the finished article. The smell boxes •re filled with astonishing rapidity; an expert bend will fill twaety in a minute, and a rental kably active little girl applied id onr presence tarty-five revenoe sump# iu the same brief space of time. Tbe smell paper boxes in wbi^h tbe matches packed fer market, are made at tbe House of Refuge. Adjoining the factory is a three alery building, sixty by twenty every room ol wfainh is filled from floor to ceiling with these little receptacle*. Matches ef abetter quality, generally known as "parlor matches," are el#o made bare. The composition differs from that osed on the common kinds, but the method of mannfeetnrs is thmsame. The hloo color on the eeds of some of the matches it prodored by tbe admixture of altra>marino with the phoephoroa. It oot affect tbr quality of the mtteh. being used far appearance sake only. Tbe coiling machines are remarkable evidences of tke value of lebor-eavieg machinery in match menofactore. Eight of these machines, operated bj/our boys, do more aod betur work then eighty persoos were capable of performing ender the old method. Few of the millions who ate the iodiepeniable match, hare an adeqnate either of the ielferesxing process or | making or the quantity made ; aad thoae | wbo like onraelves, are carious upon the subject, shonld visit tbe factory of Mr." Zeiss, und witness for themselves the wonders of match-making.— Earning Star- — In a town in the goodly SUU of Maaaaehnietts, did ooe time reside, a lass of six fkars old, whose name was Martha. In the same beose with this lose lived a maiden lady of very uupleesaal ways, whose delight it was to pester the small Martha with qseetione, which mesne Martha had come to mech dislike M its Pomp.

Nrvrspuper Lawn. f, For tba benefit of people with a limited iy amount of conscience, we pnblleb the folr. lowing epitome of tbe national law relating to taking and paying for newtfa papers : s- I. A postmaster is required to give notice by letter (returning tbe papers does not answer the requirements of the -y law) when a subscriber does not take bis iv paper from the office ; and to state ihr k sfeaaon for its not being Jaken. A uegreel to do so makes the postmaster re- | t sponsible to the publisher for tbe pay- 1 meul. d 2. Any person who takes u paper regu. j d larly from the postoffice, whether directed ! |! to his Dame or another— or whether he a bus subscribed or not, ia responsible for 0 the payment of the subscription. 3. If any person orders his paper die. ■I continued he must pay nil the arrearages. J „ or tbe pubh.b-r may continue to trod It i- until payment is made, eud collect the! whole sinouut, whether it i« token from ! 1 tbe office or not.

"Dead Brads."— .In aatwer to n lady ' correspondent who desiree to know the ' meaning of tbe term "dead head," an " exchange says ; Tbe free tickets givee ' to the press for tha nset named, ate always paid for. aod very liberally. At e ' rale, those wbo issue — nnt those who r«- ' ceive — these free tickets are tbe "dead- : heeds," usually giving fifty conts tar that ' which a five dollar bill would inadequately ' pay for. So long as tbe oewspaper editor it expected to give liberal notices of | entertainments before they neenr, and ' j then follow the#e with a general poff | after the show is over, he certainly hs> | | no place in the 'dead head' classification. ! Indeed, in nine count oot of ten, the edi- | lore would he glad lo receiya half pay for their work and pay two prices for tha free ticket. Tbey certainly would make j money by the operation. We may add s j ■ j few words on the general subject of ndver- | Using. The publication ol advertise, j j menu is as much ta the business, of a newspaper as tha publication of the new# | tn supply the place of, qfl ndi1~Valua torn regular advert i#«meht has even less rlaim to a gratuitous insertion than would such aa advertisement. Yet there era those who usk just such gratuitous notice#, ami | ibis almost us a matter of right. If tbete j same persons shomd be asked to make a worth of sugar to whoever bought three | pounds or tea. or half a dozen free ticket# { ' concert, they would resent the demand at j | an insult. | Yet why should not their j. wages be given away as freely as should j ' and are the products of the editor's and j I publisher's labor and oapital? 'Hie tier- | chant makes his profit and living by sell- . his goods. The publisher of a news- { | paper makes bis by selling bis advertising j . columns, not by giving them uwit; and when he does thus give tlrea. in aid of a ' public library or other beniflCenl object, j , end not insalts as M "dead-bead.
