Thoro is, probably, no other placo of the same' size in the State in I which is produced a greater variety of (manufac tured articles than in the city of Akron.

As an example of the latter variety', the reader will remember that Edison here. played an. j Important rolowiart ' matrimonial conn-draa not many mooiiB ago, whon'ho'took un to himself the daughter of one of Akron's leading business men. Mr. Miller", Edi son's father-in-law, is a member of tho firm of Aultman, Miller & Co., and a confirmed orthodox member of the Methodist Church. It was, perhaps, on account of his religious views that he so bitterly objected to giving his daughter in marriage to a man who hasn't the same degree of reverence for,' spiritual things that some have and who is ad dicted to the use of language which, if published in a 'Sunday school paper, would tend to injure its sale: However, Miss Miller insisted that Mr. Edison was Such an eteclricol man, and, even if ho did thock her, occasionally, his magnetitm was ' irresistible and sho proposed to complete the current, be true to her mag net, while the lattery of life generated that electrifying spark, love, and only when the angel, Death, opened tho key, would the current be broken. Well, Lthat settled the question. It always doa when a woman says it under similar circumstances, and the opposing party would as well giyo up Uio battlo as lost. This is a! question that every .woman re serves, or should rcoervo the exclusivo right to .herself to settle. I am glad that women are made of such independent stuff. It is said that a woman is govern ed by emotion rather than reason. To somo extent I think'this is true ; but a woman,wiil, reach, a conclusion about a certain thing at once where a "lord of creation' will parley and roason, about the same thing for a week beforo arriv ing at anything liko a definite conclusion and then he will be incorrect twice where the woman's jumped-at conclu sion will be wrong once. rI did not intend, however, to write up on the relative psychological merits of man and woman so will desist. An example of the former varioty of matches may be obtained in tho ordi nary parlor match, so universally in use and manufactured by the Barber Match Co. n This company, practically, controls the match trade of the country. There are several houses in tho United States of which the Akron is one of tho lead ing. Their buildings cover several acres o'f land and are all built with especial reference toMtght, ventilation, neatness and convenience. The offices, arp per fect, littlo palaces and tho occupants thereof are all accommodating gentle men. 'They are always pleased to have visitors, although there are strict! rules prohibiting them from entering certain parte pfj.the works on account of tho danger thereby incurred. Only a chos en few, are admitted to all the depart ments and, of, these newspaper1 men usually form a part. Did you know that members, jf "tEe press receive more at tentionand their influence and favor is mora eagerly sought for than most any other class of, people ? Well, it's a fact. Just go to a town and tell the peoplo you are representing some reliable news paper aiid pfoposo to write upthojplace and it you ore, not u the most popular man' in tho place, my observation is un reliable. Mo.re, especially will you bo popularatqong men who have business interests at "stake in the placo. Every man in town will invito you to) take dinner, smoke, walk, or drink with him. But. of course, newspaper men alwayBjpdsitlvel'declino the latter, and it' is with, great reluctance and temerity they cau bojrjducod to accept the for mer invitations. Jn thus seeking tho influence of ithe press,' the people show that they recognlro the power for weal or for woe, a good nowspaper exerts in a community Go any place you will, pick upaiocal newspayer, glance over the advertisements and you will find, with scarcely an exception, that the biggest "ad" belongs to .tho biggest business manofjihejplacc. Give mo tho power of tho, United States press and I will i i i t y .-7. .. But to return again to my subject. I BPPUe,d atftho ofllce of tho match works man wno receweu mo iiiai x represeniea the News-Herald, one of the leading Southern Ohio papers, and proposod to' write a few lines about 'Akron an.d, her business interests and asked him, for a few pOinUco'ncoruW the match works. "Q',ya sir" saidihe, "you are one of onr ver welcome newspapermen; conioin, have a seat. We are always glad tpseo ypuandj-aasuroyou weiwilldo allwe ca-'foriyon." U I . ' cn loriyou, f There' was' a decided change 14 sis maanei' after, the announcement uof my business. He met me at the door wltli a cold, what-klnd-of-tt-book-nrc-you-sell-ing expression bul wheri ho .found there was a chance to got a freo ''ad" this 'ex pression vanished, like the mist beforo the morning sun.' 'After gathering what 'statistics I wanted I. was Shown through the whole establishment, from garret to cellar, fore and aft. In fact toy" guide, the boss of tho works, in hife (efforts to have me understand it 'all, became very tedious in his elaborate explanations of the minutia and for me to eater into de tail in describing the process of making matches would likewise tprovej tiresome. I shall only give a brief outline. One piece of machinery does all the work from the time they are in the form of pine blocks, till they are ready for tho drying house. , Pine, you know, is used in making matches and) the logs are sawed into pieces about txG in. and varying in length'. The piccesj are then sawed interlocks tho length of a match which is the form .they enter the ma chine. The apparatus consists essenti ally of a long, belt, probably 100 feet aad 6a tho outaida of , this are fitted cast iron buckets at intervals of about two feet, something liko tho elevating buckets of threshing machine. These buckets are tho same shape as tho pine blocks used and are perforated in the' bottom with numerous apertures just largo enough to receive tho end of, a match. This belt moves over the pulleys two feet at a time, the distance betweon tho buckets, then stops for an instant' and then moves on another interval then stops again and so om At one end of this belt a man puts in each bucket as it passes him a pine block, and, as tho bucket passes under a huge cutting in strument it stops and at the samo timo this instrument comes down with tro-, mondous power and cuts the block into matches and also presses a match' into each hole in the bottom of the box, producing the ring-like appear anco on the end of each match so that when the bucket leaves this first station the matches stand up in the box like rows of pins, projecting above about half the length of the match as the box is only about halt tho length of the match. Thus they travel along the whole length of the belt, with this Bhut-tle-llke motion, like a long line of min- erature soldiers, till they reach the other pulley and start back with their heads hanging down. They don't go far, how ever, till they drag through an oily so lution that saturates' the wood and ren ders it highly inflammable. Next the tips drag through the .preparation that gives tho match tho power of igniting upon friction, which forms tho head. From here until it noars the starting point of its journey it passes through a scries of fans which' partially dries tho last application and prepares it for its final finishing touch, which consists of a kind of dip more used for a protect ive coating and a gloss than anything else. After passing through this, tho buckets, which are adjustable, are taken off and empty ones put on ready to re ceive the pine blocks again and travel tho samo road as tho ones just romoved. The buckets containing tho new matches are emptied on shelves in the dry house whero they remain till ready for the packing bouse. Each pine block makes an ordinary-sized box of matches and each machine consumes about a block a minute and there are twenty-five or thirty machines running all the timo, so that from twelve to fourteen hundred boxes of matches aro produced in an nour. We noxt visit the box department. In this there aro five or six box ma chines. These machines make the or dinary slide match box. Tho postboard is cut in strips about six inches wide and rolled up on a large cylinder from which the machine takes it. Without the aid of a single person this machine cuts, presses, prints, folds, glues and com pletes tho box in every particular, just as we find' them in our" stores. Each machine makes fourteen hundred boxes an hour and delivers, them to tho girls in the packing rooms below. Tho large wooden shipping boxes are also made by . machinery. The packing t rooms merely contain long tables' with matches and. boxes convenient and tho work tis principally done by girls. The ware houses always contain a large supply of matches. By actual computation the matches thcn'in stock would, if placed end to end, gilt the, globe twice and then be a surplus sufficient to extend from New York to San Francisco. ( The great danger in the manufacture of 1 matches is fire and every precaution is taken to guard against it. The1 whole establishment is provided with! every means of protection. Hose and, water pipes thread the building in eyery di rection. There isn't a foot of the build ings upon whih1 water could not bo thrown in two minutes warning.,, Hand grenades decorate .every department. But in spite of all this precaution, not long since one -wing of the main build ing burned to the ground,. Everything is done that can be dono to add to the comfort 'and convenience of the workers. There is a nice room fitted up with tables aud chairs, where the girls take their lunch. Tho workers receive kind treatment from the employ ers arid command good wages, but for all this tho match-workers position is not a desirable one. The great enemy of those engaged, in making or handling matches ia the effect of the 'chemicals upon the system. The phosphorus used' is very poisonous and in spite of Springs, Ark. Ex-Senator Powell Clay the preventives, employed, it sooner or ton is tho manager of tho resort.1 later enter,tho system and then its ef fects are manifest. The favorite point of attack id In tho bono of the lower jaw, producing what is known in medi cal parlance as nocroslsjofthobone, which is merely rendering the bone dead and it in' timo decays and crumbles away, it is to bd hoped that somo antidote will yet' bo discovered by which the makers of this indispensable article will escapo the almost Inevitable fate of the present matchmakers. Should you ever visit the 'city of Akror) and are fortunate enough tq be a newspaper man or some thing else that will admit you to tho works it 'vHH -lie abundantly worth your while to, southern as this meager de scription cannot take the placo of ac tually BMiaar-ior yourself. It will also pay yori to' visit the various other exten sive manufactories in which Akron abounds..,', The Aultman, Miller Machine Works k is tt mammoth establishment. Mr.' Aultman Is also of tho firm of Ault man, Taylor & Co., of Mansfield, O. The reader will perhaps remember of seeing an account in the papers a few month ago of the burning of Shumaoh er's oat meal mills. ' t tho time of its destruction it was tho largest oat meal mill in the United States and was said by some to be tho largest in tho world. 'I was in a neighboring town tho night it burned and tho sceno presented was appalling. I visited the ruins shortly after. There upon the ground, still smoking, lay thousands of bushels of grain. Towering high above tho debris stood the great massive chimneys, reach ing far toward tho clouds. What was yesterday tho sceno of busy, active la bor was now a vast cxpanso of smoul dering ruins. Hundreds of hands wero thrown out of employment and Shu macherwho was reputed to be worth his millions the day before, was now a man of but littlo means. The extensive and costly machinery lay warped and twisted in one useless mass. All was destruction in tho vicinity of tho oat meal mills and for days Shumachor and many others wero completely demoral ized ; but after awhile capitalists organ ized a stock company and the work of removing tho debris was begun. I believe tho intention now is to re build the mills and carry on the work as beforo, although it will bo owned by a stock company instead of a singlo indi vidual. This will bo sad on tho boarding houses of the land. What would a boarding-houso bo without oat meal ? I pauso for a reply. Should tho potato crop prove a failuro all boarding houses would be compelled to mako an assign ment. Potatoes! and oat meal 11 I never sat down to a boardlng-liouso meal in my life but those two permanent fix tures bobbod up serenely. Should I over bo f 0 unfortunate as to find ono or both m8slng from thoir accustomed place I wouldn't eat a bite. No sir, it would bo irreverent, it would bo deso crating the absence of these time-honored guests. I w ould at onco work a beautiful motto with shoo thread on a plcco of rawhido leather "Absent but not Forgotten" and hang it over the empty dishes. It is wonderful in how many different ways potatoes may uo prepared for the boarding-houso table. They can be boiled with the skins on and thedjrt off, and with skins off and dirt on,' soft and hard and hardly soft, sliced .and whole and wholly sliced, mashed rand tried and squelched and Saratogied and Bostoned and other towns too numerous to mention, and, in fact, a very , respectable looking meal can bo gotten up on potatoes.

Sunday Morning SerTiccs In tho Prison Chapel. "the Convict Choir I Digress A Jourrml- 1st Convict A Little Moralizing Female Insane Asylnu An- barn That's All. Auburn, N. Y., Juno 23d, 18S0. When I wrote that Buffalo had the most irregular streots I oyor saw I had not been to Syracuse The streets of tho latter placo wore evidently laid out so as to mako as many sharp points and triangular buildings and front yards as possible. But I have something more interest ing than Syracuse of which to write. It is a visit to THE AUJIIJUN- r&XITKXTl IBY, The oldest established institution of the kind in tho United States, having been founded in 1816, and which contains many noted criminals. Last Sunday was tho annual "flower day," when tho young Ladies' Christian Temperance Union brings each convict a boquet, to which is attached a card bearing an appropriate Scriptural verso. I was sitting in front of the Gaylord Hotel after breakfast on that day, when I observed a hand-cart pass loaded with boquets, and inquiry revealed tho fact that they were for tho prisoners, and that the morning services in tho prison chapel would be particularly interesting on that occasion. I accordingly pro ceeded to tko penitentiary, and was admitted in company with a goodly as semblage of residonts of tho city into tho keepers' hall. At nino o'clock tho turnkey opened tho big barred door and the crowd filed through tho corridor on tho left to THE PRISON CHAPEL. When wo reached the chapel tho con vict congregation wero all in their Beats. There is but littlo difference in tho ap pearance of convicts in any "pen," tho only difference in tho motley assemblage hero being, that thoro aro fewer negroes. You find upon tho faces the samo trade marks of illiteracy and depravity, with, of course, occasional exceptions that cause you to wonder how thoy came there. Here will bo an old timer with iron-gray locks and wrinkled visage; his nearest neighbor may wear a profile that proclaims its owner unmistakably an Israelite, and beyond him a "mug" as Irish as Pat Koonoy. But a large per cent, all look liko relatives, 00 reliablo are tho physiological and phrenological indications of depravity and ignorance. Tho dress at Auburn is exclusively striped, the excellent plan of allowing other colored apparel for good behavior, as followed at Columbus, as yet not having got this far East ; and tho gen eral fit of tho garments, as is invariably tho casG ia such institutions, is different from the fit of "the paper on tho vhall." As a recent writer on tho subject said in tho New York IfbrW, tho convict is sup posed to fit tho clothes, not the clothes the convict. When wo had entered tho chapel and taken tho vacant seats in tho rear tho services began with a hymn by tho con vict choir. As a musical organization it, of course, can't bo compared to tho lato Arion Club of HlUsboro, Highland coun ty, Ohio, but" considering the disadvan tages under which they must necessarily labor, they do remarkably well. They wero all convicts, including tho organist, violinist, and clarionettist, and their rendition of "Sweet Rest" and "Buelah Land" was abovo criticism ; but when, at tho conclusion of the services, the clarionet player struck up "Montroso quickstep'' for tho congregation to march out by, a musician present was heard, to remark that he "know what that toiler was in for, now." Lest the reader bo unmusical and don't know what Montrose quickstep is like, I will add that the old 13th Regi ment Band played it to death in, their palmy days, and its notes are still occa sionally wafted on tho breezes that cir culate through tho second story of tho Reeco corner. You'll remember it when I tell you that it goes turn ta-tara-da da-da da. Again I catch myself digressing. To return to the chapel. After a couplo of hymns and a prayer tho chaplain, Rev. Mr. Scarls, delivered an interesting and impressive talk of half an hour's length, without tho' idle formality of taking a text, holding tho congregation, both in mates and visitors, to tho closest atten tion, and allow ing 'a vein of humor to creep in at appropriate intervals. Par ticularly did ho make a hit with tho convicts when ho mado a remark about them "returning to their state-rooms." And his remarks on death and immor tality, were very impressive. After the benediction wo passed out through tho same corridor by which wo cnteted, and in which is situated the chaplain's office. Here JAMES D, FISH, The ox-nabob Now York millionaire, doeth his arduous duties. Only one glance at him in his convict garb is nec essary to make the thoughtful remem ber how fickle is fortune. As we passed by the open door I saw upon the inter ior the venerable ex-banker. He stood in tho center of the room, apparently In a reverie ; at all events paying no atten tion to the throng that was passing by. Ho has a closely shaven face and prom inent noso, and is rather largo of build, particularly in a part of his anatomy that seems to indicate that prison faro agrees with him. Ho wore n striped vest and pants of remarkably good fit for prison clothing (ho evidently tipped tho tailor), a bod-ticking shirt, and cap of the same material. His work is light, and ho has served a littlo over a year of his ten years' sentence. Many Bterics aro told of him and the way he takes to his imprisonment. It is said he very much dislikes being made an object of interest by visitors. Lost fall a theatri cal party visited the penitentiary and all wero anxious to see him. As they passed tho chaplain's office ono saw him and said, "Oh, thoro is Fish." "Yes, I am Fish," was tho reply, and tho speaker slammed the door with forco and dispatch. fish's dauohtfh Resides in Auburn, and I am told, in a very blooded neighborhood, but she has succeeded thus far in remaining incog nito to tho majority of tho residonts of the city. Tho old man himself is sixty fivo years of age. Money circulates among the convicts the samo as in tho outside world, and prisoners who aro known to bo well supplied with this world's goods aro "bled" by their convict companions to the farthest possible extent. The monicd prisoner has to drop a dime in tho barber's hand to insuro an easy shave, and send tho tailor a half dollar if ho don't wont his new suit to fit him too quick ; while a littlo change sent to the kitchen, I am told, will procure a substantial littlo lunch. Already Fish has spent sovcral cents for extra com forts, and I suspect that ho isn't having near the hard time people imagine. When first incarcerated he was put to work in tho stovo foundry, whero the labor was pretty hard, but in some manner probably on account of his advanced ago he has secured the easy position ho now fills. After services had begun Sunday morning an intelligent young man in a regular dude-fitting convict suit, entered tho chagel and tiptoed his way to a seat in tho rear of tho room. Ho is also an attache of tho chaplain's office, but previous to his conviction of tho crime of writing some solid man's namo on tho lower right hand corner of an I. O. U., he filled the more responsible, but less remunerative position of EDITOR OF A COUNTRY PAPER. If ho is as bright as he looks ho w ill pick up sovcral points during his prison experience that ho can work tastefully into editorials, novels, and so forth. Tho prison authorities fear that, liko tho old man who had been so long im prised for debt and was at last set freo and who returned and asked to be placed again in his old familiar cell, (see lesson in the old Sixth Reader) tho fortunate young journalist will return again to his present quarters and ask to be taken back, when ho finds himself again freo with a country editorship staring him in tho face. This morning I paid tho institution another visit, and though visitors aro generally refused admission now, through tho kindness ot the warden I was allowed to go through the different cell-rooms, kitchen, dungeon, etc. Tho cell dormitories are constructed very much like those at Columbus. There is a nico lawn in tho courtyard, and the walks aro lined on either sido with tall umbrageous maples, planted years and years ago by a lifo-convict, who is still an inmate of the Institution. Just im agine how he has passed tho many long summers that have changed the little shrubs to tall strong trees; imagine how he saw them grow up, and how he watched them bud and leaf with each return of spring ; and how ho marked their falling leaves after they grow red and golden and brown in the air of the many returning and going autumns. Poor man ; I wonder if he feels as bad about his lot as I do. Perhaps, like skinning eels, there are bo many of them, they get usod to it and it don't hurt them at all. But after one has seen Edwin Thome's "Black Flag" and John A. Stevens' "Passion's Slave," and a few other dramas in which at somo time or other the hero is found in pris on garb, he is likely to imagine, or at least fear, that many of the inmates are angelic heroes temporarily playing in hard luck, but sure to escape soon or be vindicated before the cuitain goes down on the last act; and that they will marry the rich man's handsome daugh ter ere tho finis. But I can't help feel ine sorry for a convict. It is not be cause he has such a very hard timo during his prison life, but thcro are a few things the mean, sneaking, infernal, selfish 1IARO-1IEAKTED WORLD (how cordially I hate it I) never forgets. There aro some wounds that the heart less, base, selfish, inhuman world (how I like to toll it to go to) will not allow to heal, but which like those of Prome theus as he lay chained "upon tho cold rocks of Mount Caucasus" it rejoices to Bee "torn afresh." Tho stigma of hav ing onco been a convict is almost im possible to shako off. However penitent the convict may be, aud however good his resolves and intentions at the time of his rolease, how few, even of those who profess to follow the mandates we ore told are divine, are willing to offer him encouragement or aid him to load a new life. If it does not offer him direct insult the world lets him severely alone and it might nS well do the former, for most peoplo (I guess it is human) are likely to bo weak and care for what people think. Ho feels that people turn from him and spurn him, and it is not to bo wondered at, that so many of them return to their bad habits and eventually to their old 'places behind tho bars. So-called "society" is respon sible for much more than it is given credit for, even by thoso who know it best. Ho w.I would like to bo a preach er for about ono Sunday I But then I suppose that is liko journalism. Every body thinks he knows more about it than the editor. So it is probably best that I ain't a preacher I might get my self disliked, you know. Tho "divinity that shapes our ends" generally know its business, and fixed things according to fitness, which explains why I am so rich and celebrated. I have digressed again. I feared it. I will digress in my thoughtless moments. It is a habit I learned in my oarlier days, and I can't break mjsclf of it. Adjoining tho penitentiary is the Female Insane Asylum, the rear wail of tho former serving as a partition hctw ecn the two. In this asylum Is now con fined YSEITLT DUDLEY, Tho would-bo slayer of O'Donavan Kossa. As to her guilt or. innocence, sanity or insanity, I am not prepared to pass an opinion, but I do not for an instant hesitate in saying that whoever was responsible for her front name, de served imprisonment for lifo. I can spell it just as easy as anybody, but I wouldn't attempt to pronounce it in tho presence of any one I might suspect know its correct pronunciation. Poor, unfortunate girl ! Fortuno has not dealt kindly with her. IT WAS TOLEDO. I just received to-day tho News- Her vld of Juno 9, in which I find that "His Nobbs, the Editor" at onco cor rects a mistake of mine and releases Cleveland of a terriblo responsibility. I am glad. Cleveland is a nice city, and I don't Tiko Toledo very well anyway. I trust Miss Janio Dimplo Chin will for give me that I torgot whero sho put her characters. It will not occur again. (I won't read her next.) Auburn is another beautiful city of about 30,000 souls, with important man ufacturing interests, and somo lino resi dences. Tho residences through this section are, as a rule, much finer and more elaborate than those of Ohio. I really don't see whero the poor folks livo here, there aro so few commonplace houses. This city evidently contains a great deal of wealth. I dislike to quit so suddenly, but That's all.
