It is written by Gaetano Negri, and consists chiefly of two lectures, which the author has given at Mailand, on the German chancellor. Speaking of Bisnnrck as a man, Signor Negri sayes :â€" "He is one of the most interesting and incomprehensible characters that have appeared in the history of the world. Imagine an East Goth, in- oculated with the culture of the present time. Seen from the one side, he appears as one acknowledging only the worship of power, violent, harsh, and merciless. On the other hand, we see in him the man en- dowed with the greatest moral gifts, open to the influences of purest and highest sen- timents. The contradictions in his char- acter are passing strange marvellous is the wealth of his intellect and unique his capa- city for satisfying the most contradictory claims. All through he is a man of the north. In him lives the postic spirit of the northern races; the spirit of Shake speare is within him at the same time he is grave and jovial, rough and graceful and he has a depth of religious feeling unknown to the Litin peoples. Bismarck is on of the most powerful speakers that ever have spoken from the parliamentary tribune. His elo(iuence, however, is not that of a Cicero, enlarging on a given sibject in smooth, harmonious figures of speech his is an eloquence like an arrow shot from a bow â€" rough, passionate, irony, springing, as it were, upon his subjects and penetrat- ing into their innermost depths. With Bis- marck we are never in the world of words, but always in the world of facts. It is the mighty objectivity of his speeches which makes them attractive, even if considered piite apart from the circumstances under which they are made, and from the passion which inspired them. Hj always leads us into the real-drama of life, into the fight ior existence, in the collision of men and things Added to this his imagination, in itself extremely lively and supported by a rich and varied knowledge, whic^i brings to his mind the most surprising pictures and comp'irisons, and it ia easy to underslaad that this combination of gifts stamp Bis- marck's eloquence with the greatest origi- nality. Bat nowhere do we see him more attractive, and, as it were more human, than in his letters to his wife and sister. They are mostly notes from his tours abroad, short epistles on his state of health and his occupations, all full of grace and life. They show partly that in the midst of the heaviest troubles the elasticity of his spirit, the clearness of his views, the ironi- cal contemplation of all things human, the sense of the beauty of nature, are still pre- served. In some of these letters he gives way to a deep poetic sentiment, and it ia here that his best and noblest side is seen." Pall Mall Oazttte. Ckarcoal and its Uses. Charcoal, laid flat while cold on a burn, causes the pain to abate immediately by leaving it on for an hour the burn seems al- most healed when the bum is superficial. And charcoal is valuable for many other pur- poses. Tainted meat surrounded with it is sweetened strewn over heaps of decom- posed pelts, or over dead animals, it pre- vents any unpleasant odor. Foul water is parified by it. It is a great disinfectant, and sweetens offensive air if placed in shal- low trays around apartments, It is so very porous in its "minute interior,' it absorbs and condenses gases most rapidly. One cubic inch of fresh charcoal will absorb near- ly one hundred inches of gaseous ammonia. Charcoal forms an unrivalled poultice for malignant wounds and sores, often corrod- ing away dead flesh, reducing it to one quarter in six hours. In cases of what we call proud flesh it is invaluable. It gives n3 disagreeable odor, corrodes no metal, hurts no texture, injures no color, is a simple and safe sweetener aad disinfectant. A teaspoonful of charcoal, in half a glass of water, often relieves a sick headache it absorbs the gases and relieves the distended stomach pressing against the nerves, which extend from the stomach to the head It often relieves constipation, pain or hear't- burn. A Five Morning. â€" "Fine morning, your honor," affiably remarked the man who was arrested the night before for being drunk and disorderly, "Yes, indeed," heartily responded the justice; 'qtiite afine morning; in tajt, a ?1'J fins morning." After this little pleasantry the gentleman was booked for the "Black Maria" and the bosineu of the court went oa as usual. inquir- Where Qpar Boxes Go. "What becomes of the empty boxes " was the question put by a reporter to a retail cigar dealer, who does a thriving busi- ness. "I'm sore I don't know," was the reply. 'Some of them are given away, a few, per- haps, are sold by some of the dealers, but the great bulk are broken to piece) and used as kindling wood. You see Uncle Sam makes it a punishable offence to use the same box twice for cigars unless every particle of the revenue stamp is removed, aid a new stamp p'acsd oa the box. Now, a complete removal of the atimp would spoil the box aid make it unfit for Ifutther use for cigars;" "Is not that a considerable loss?' ed the reporter. "Hardly so. Cigar boxes are very cheap. A good workman, I understand, will nail nearly a thousand boxes in a day, and the wood is abundant in this country. If you never saw a cigar box factory you had better visit one, and you'll see some interesting sights." Tlie reporter followed the advice, and climbe4 up five flights of staira in one of the largest blccks in the manufacturing district of the city, where the largest cigar box fac- tory 18 lo::ated. A part of the large floor was occcupied by the strips of wood, cut to the r.quieite thickness, one dimension for the bottom, sides and cover, and another for the ends. The 8 rips of wood are run through a rip- saw, sawed in long strips, and cut into the required lengths by a second machine. The enels are then planed as smooth as the sides, and the pieces are ready to be made into boxes. Lids and sides have to pass through rintiog presses, of the same pattern as used in ordinary job rooms, bat much heavier, to have the brand, trademark, etc., printed pen them with indelible ink. Then the pieces go to the nailer, who uses a machine for his workThe nailing machines are somewhat similar in appearance to type-setting machines, and re(i'iire but little experience to be quite dex* teioasly handled. 1 he rails are fed into a hopper on the top, passiiij through small brass pipes 'ii';o little tubes at the proper distances lor the parts to be railed together. By the pres- sure of the foot on the foot-b"ard of the ma- chine, the operator forces the nails out of the tubes into the wood, and accomplishes with the aid of the machiae six times as much wcr'i as the most experienced workman could do with hand and hammer besides the work is of necessity done far more accurate- ly. The first operation is the nailinj togeth- er of an end and head piece, which ara placed in large piles, and then two of those pieces are nailed together, forming the sides of the box. Boya nail on the buttons and girls taok on the cover temporarily, while while other girls paste on the cloth hingea. The half- completed boxes are then piled up until they are perfectly dry. An experienced nailer averages about 850 boxes per day, receiving twenty-five cents for 100 boxes, while the boys and girls are paid by the week, eirning from four dc liars to ten per week. After the boxes are dry, they are brought under a rapidly revolving planer, which re- moves all over-hanging wood-work, while whirling sand wheels smooth off the edges. A large force of girls I3 employed in putting on the finishing touches, which means to p3ste on the edgings, inside labels, linings ani flaps. For this work the girls are pud eighty cents psr hundred, and they earn from five to nine dollars per iveek. The lumber used in the manufacture of ci- gar boxes is, with but few exceptions, either basa-wood or red cedar. Bass-wood gow8 in almost unlimited quantities in Michigan, Minnesota, and the northern part ot Wisconsin. It is shipped to this city in rough boards, which are ra-cnt, planed and stained by a peculiar process, so that it closely resembles cedar wood, from which it ia different in colcr, and lacking in that sharp, pungent odor which is deemed of particular value for the packing of cigars, Bass wood boxes ara used for the ordinary quality of cigars. The red cedar grows ia Mexico, Caba and Can- tral America, and forms an importaat ar- ticle in the exports of these countries. Ce- e'ar costs in Chicajjo in the neighborhood of forty dollars a thousand lineal feet of the crd nary lumber dimmaions. An important item in the mauufaeture of cigar boxes is the label, which costs from sixty cents to six dollars a thoueand. A few especially fine labels, male for special brands, cost nina aid ten dollarsath n and. The larger box factories have a printing room atfa;;hei to their establishments, and prnb the ordinary quality of labals them- selves, while the mere elaborite qualities of more or less artistic design, and pr nted in from three to a dozm colcri, are made by the large lithographic eatablishmenta, where designers for this particular branch of work ar kept steaiily at work. It is a noticeable fa3t that in a great many cases one may judge of the quality of cigars by the kind of label attached to the bex. The "loud" la bel with flaming colors, presenting all kinds of impossible birds and flowers, or females more or lesa decollete, does not, as a rale, speak favorably for the quality of the cigarp. The habitual smoker liiDws his label, al- though some of the favorite t rands of "three- for-a quarter," r r "straight ten" eiich as " Cjrona, " "Professor Morse, " "Mark Twain," "La Rosa," "Henry Cay," aid others, are sold in numerous imitations. The bettsr quality of cigars, like the betti r quality of men, do not "show off" in a very elaborate style they have a well-deaignsd and artistically executed albel, in unobtru- sive colors, and some of the very beat cigars have very plain packing. Cigara for private sales are genera'.ly paw:ked in boxes which a-e fasteuad with brass clasps instead of the old-fashicnsd silk-nbbons. There is one firm of lithographer 3 in this city who do nothing else but print ciga: labels and there are eight boxfactories,em- ploying 250 hands, and a capital of §100 000. while ihe anaual production is valued at §400,000.â€" CAfca^o Tribune.
