Effective and expeditious. This, like the match machine, is a remarkable instance of small things done on a large scale. It is asserted that it is a heavy business in the city of New-York. Our matches were formerly made by children, of split sticks dipped in sulphur at each end, tied in bundles and hawked on the streets, to be used together with flint and steel, and tinder of burnt rags.
