Numerous efforts have been made by Stove manufacturers and others to produce a perfect Dane Burning stove, but they have signally failed, because no adequate moons were Invent. ed for removing the elate and clinkers without dumping the fire out. The object of the SPEAR INVENTION In to REMOVE THE ASHES and CLINKERS FROM TILE FIRE POT WITHODT DROPPING TOE FIRE OUT. This can be done every morning with lees trouble than It takes to rake the old kind of Stoves, and a continuous fire bo kept going always fresh on the grate. By this means the entire surface of the Stove can always be relied on for heat; but la other stoves, when the grate surface become. covered with clinkers and the cylinder half fi Iled with ashes and clinker., only the upper warfare will afford beat,—thee very often resulting In the overheating and ruining of the Stove. With the Improved Orate the hare of the Stove Is always hot. In tide Steve le given a Dot. /OM as well as a Top View of Mr Fire, whereas In ell other Stoves the fire can only be seen from Ike top. With tots Improvement we cen always see through the win dows in the base, and tell whoa the fire requires rakint impelled The Stove is also with a Patent Damper at e smoke-pipe, and the mica windows are placed Ina PA • ENT REVOLVINO CYLINDER. The windows can thus be closed while the fire is being kindled, and after the coal Is Ignited the cylinder can be reversed, throwing the windows open—entirely free from make —and pre. seating a perfectly bright and clear light ,whick cannot be 'Produced in any other Stove 1.

The Detroit Free Press of the 23cl prints the following history : It le a fact probably better known to the custom house officers than to outsiders that at least every tenth women who crosses the De— troit river carries 'smuggled goods. These goods may be ten, coffee, socks, thread, rib bons, or something else of co great value ; but the intent to smuggle is there, and the success in bringing over a small lot is nearly always an inducement for the smuggler to try the game on a larger scale. Men may and do smuggle clothing now and then, but then it is the female sex which carries the burden of guilt. The custom-house official§ nt the ferry dock in this city are as vigilant as officer§ can be, but what chances have they against mon strous hoopekirts and gigantic bustles-? They cannot stop to peep under shawls, examine pockets, look Into baby carts and hold a crowd on:the boat, and so they must continue their work with the knowledge that goods are be ing smuggled, and that only one grand and sudden haul of their nets can trap the guilty and frighten the Innocent so that they shall never dare to pursue the business. The net was drawn yesterday. The officers commenced about 2 o'clock, walked fifteen or twenty women up stairs into the custom rooms and handed them over to a woman to be searched. Every boat-load which landed for about three hours was treated in the same manner—that is, all the female portion. Some were indignant and appealed to the custom officers. Others wanted to faint away, but after looking at the planks and dust concluded not to. Others wept, laughed or turned pale, but none of them were permitted to i. escape. During the afternoon about one hundred and fifty women were confronted by Uncle Sam, and the old man had a good deal of fun and made some wonderful' discoveries, For instance, a modest little woman, win was in a great hurry to go home to her sick child, pulled out a few pins, and ten yards of English flannel fell to the floor. A tall wo man, with tears in her eyes, who asserted that she would sooner chop her head off than to think of smuggling, unfastened a pound of tea from her skeleton, and asserted that it must have been . placed there by some designing person. Another one indignantly denied "the right of search," but, after remaining a pilsoner for an hour or two, told the searcher to " take It, and go to grass," throwing a pack age of ribbons,and laces on the floor. A lot of calico was found on - another, some velvet on another, and at least ten per cent. of the whole number were found to be engaged in smuggling. The officials were satisfied with confiscating the goods. Sketches of the Life of a noted Pianist and Composer. Anton Rubinstein, pianist and composer, was born November 12, 1820, (according to the Russian calendar, or 30th of same month according to the Roman calendar,) at %Yeah wotynez, a village in Moldavia on the fron tiers of Russia and Bessarabia. As Moldavia Is one of those so called Danubian principali ties so frequently mentioned in modern dip lomacy and ancient Turkish wars, and whose population Is a compound of so many and different races, dating from Trojan's Roman colonists, and Dacians, the original popula tion, and being modified by Grecian, Gothic, Slavic, Turkish, Jewish and Gipsey elements, it might be difficult, without his family gene alogy, to decide the race whence is descended the great pianist ; but, as wo shall shortly see, he is Russian by adoption, and German by his musical education, for, shortly after his birth, the family moved to Moscow, where his father established a pencil factory, and lie received much-of his musical Instruction in Berlin. His mother was a good musician, and played the piano ; she frequently observed her son's fondness for music by his perseveringly re maining near the instrument when she prac tised. She taught him the elements of music, and his progress was so rapid that she com mitted him to the cure of Villoing, the tint Professor of the piano in Moscow, who was Rubinstein's only master for this instrument. Villoing being obliged to go to Paris in 1839, took the boy Rubinstein with him, being un willing to trust him to another master. In 1840, the child gave a concert in Paris be fore the most renowned artists, and performed the music of , Bach, Beethoven, Hammel, Chopin and Liszt. Tile latter congratulated the infant prodigy, (now different from some of our now-a-day critics, who sneer at talented children), urged him to work seriously, and advised his master to take him to Germany. After long travels and many concerts, the youthful executrant returned to Russia, where he remained nearly a year. A younger brother Nicholas, gave evidence of a rare disposition for composition, and the two boys were taken by their mother to Germany to study the art of writing music. When Madame Bubinstein'arrived in Ber lin, she consulted Meyerbeer on the choice of a master of composition, and was recommend ed by him to Dehn, whose pupils they became, and studied under him the theory of counter point and harmony. Rubinstein one day said to M. Fetis, the distinguished Musical critic and literateur, that there was no sign of talent' in him ; he had the desire to write big things, and undertook, in fact, to compose concertos for the piano, operas, cantatas and symphon ies; but all this was but bedaubed paper. "My brother," added he, "on the contrary,shnwed a most remarkable aptitude for his studies." The latter, on account of the deelib ing health and' subsequent death of the father, was forced to return to Russia and attend to the buslnese." Music was necessarily neglected, and his hap py instinct for art had no further favorable opportunity to be developed. He. was quite recently practising medicine in Moscow. An ton went to Vienna, where he lived by giving lessons on the piano. After staying a year in this interesting capital, he undertook a series of concerts-in Hungary, with the celebrated flutist virtuoso Heindl. They had formed the project to go to America, but when they had arrived in Berlin with the design of going to Hamburg, whence to embark, Rubinatein's friends dissuaded him from making the voy age. Bad they then come to America proba ble Heindl would still be living. In 1840, ho attended a schuetzenfest in Nuremberg, whore he was shot accidentally, through the care lessness of a thoughtless follow, while sitting in hiacarrisgo. He is spoken of as the most remarkable performer on the flute ever known. Rubinstein remained.in Berlin, and it is said that there end then be had the revelation of his talent for composition, this higher stratum 1 of the musical art. From this moment he re solved to give himself up to it 'without reser• vation, to the neglect of ids studies of teed nlque. AN ARK NSAS LEITER.

Another of those little romances in real life has just come to light in Washington. The bon ton is in ecstacies over it. A dopper look ing apothecary's clerk has succeeded In marry ing a fortune of $9,000,000, and now he has gone NV( st to spend It. The facts in the case, as related to me this morning, arc as follows : Six months ago a charming young lady, dressed elegantly and in the height of fashion and representing herself to be the relict of a late prominent New York oil speculator, ap-• peared in Washington and took up her resi dence at the Arlington Hotel. While at the Arlington she one day had occasion to procure an assortment of perfumery, and in quest of that deOirable acquisition of the toilet, called at the extreme upper crust drug store of the city, known as Thompson's, which Is situated opposite the Treasury Department. - Behind the showy counter of Thompson's red bottle establishment waited an attractivb clerk, a young gentleman of twenty•nine,who was no sooner seen than he had conquered. The next day the relict of the Now York oil speculator invited the elegant drug clerk to a tete a tete at the Arlington. Thereafter occurs a blank, until the time of the Baltimore Convention, when Mr. Drug Clerk received a mysterious note from New York. Ile went to Baltimore, there met the lady, was married, remained through the Con vention, and quietly returned to Washington to resign his clerkship and exist without visi ble means of support. The lady soon followed him here, and again went to the Arlington, where she resided some time, occasionally re ceiving the fortunate husband,ancl loading him with presents of diamonds, rings,gold watches, &c., winding up by transferring to him a whole business lot In Sou Francisco, with the buildings thereon—a very valuable piece of property, of which slue herself holds a com• panion in New York. ' Next they started to Philadelphia,where the lady took a sudden notion logo West, the only notification the ex-drug clerk's friends received of his intention being a telegram couched In these words : " Shan't return. Can't avoid it. Am going to San Francisco." On Friday a letter was received from the Pacific slope, containing the information that the young man had started a magnificent wholesale drug store at the Golden Gate. The immense wealth which has fallen to his lot, together with the extraordinary manner of the match-making awl the beauty and high stand ing of the wife, are the n lee days' wonder of the court circles of NVashington, and coming on the skirts of the romantic Aulick wedding; has set everybody to asking : " \V hat next ?" —Boston Traveler. Do People Read Advertisements. There is now and then a person so stupid as to believe that advertisements in the news papers ere not generally read, and that money expended in advertising is practically wasted. Even such will concede that if a hundred men of polite address, of fluent speech and ready wit were to call daily or weekly each upon a hundred others and get the ears of each long enough to say John Smith, or Jones or Thompson at such a place has such and such prices, or would sell a farm, or house and lot or lost a horse or pocket book, or would loan money, etc.—we say such such men will con cede, that the services of this 100 men would be of great value to Smith or Jones, and in some measure advantageous to the party to whom this statement was made. This 100 men could not be employed to go from door and make this statement to ten thousand pert pie at less than a cost of several hundred dol lars each trip. All this done by a newspaper at a cost of a few dimes, or a few dollars at most, and the visits are made week after week day after day. The messenger who travels addressee himself to the ear and takes the par ty addressed when he may have his thoughts absorbed in business or other matters; but the newspaper reaches the party sought through the eye when the reader bee his thoughtssole. fixed upon the paper before him. But the:.,, who affect to believe that there is little use in advertising urge as an objection that advertisements are not read. They can be easily convinced of their error In this re specs by making inquiry. Let theM insert no advertisement offering to purchase some ar tide that is tolerably plenty in the market, and they will be flooded with effete to sell he fore the ink of the advertisement is dry. An enterprising weekly that has a circulation of one two or three thousand copies is in a po salon to do the village merchant great good, and for which, as a rule, the publisher does , not got one-fourth of what be justlydreervee. In its sphere, the weekly is quite as much eer. vice io the advertiser as In the daily, and oft times it enjoys 'the privilege of being the cx elusive family visitor, a privilege the daily seldom has. AFFAIRS IN SPAIN. Hostile Attitude of the Kingdom of Amadeus To ward America—Dernandis of the United States A letter to the N. Y. Times upon Spanish affairs says : I do not think it an exaggeration to say that at len g th Spain has thrown down the gauntlet to the United States. The new;Government, the representatives of the revolution of 1808, have made a public declaration of their policy, and have refused to heed the just reclamation' of our country. It has declared that nothing at all will be done nor any proposition enter. tained so long as a single Cuban remains in arms. The Cubans are to be killed in arms, or are to submit and be shot ; and then Spain will govern her colony in the time-honored way which is so shocking to our sense of right ar.d justice. A draft copy of Senor Ruiz Zor rifles' remarks In Saturday's session of the Codes reached here by to-day's post, and the telegraph will have informed you of the leading points In the Minister's declaration. Perhaps the caution with which Senor Zorrilla ex preeses his conviction that portraitism demands the extermination of all opponents, will lead our people to reflect a little upon what we owe to civilization and to humanity. Spain has clearly defied us, and has refused to grant the promised reforms. AMERICA'S DEMANDS For a long time our Government has not ceased to ask a change of policy with regard to her American' .olonlep, urging upon her that a more humane prosecution of the war and thaabolltion of slavery were things due not only to humanity, but to public opinion In the United States ; and It has also asked, as concessions duo to the feelings of our people, the reign of law in Cuba and the better treat merit of our citizens and our flag. As Spain well knew, there was a moment. when It would have been dangerous so refuse these just and reasonable demands. She promised to grant the abolition of slavery and the Cuban re forms, and then prevaricated. The replies given were intentionally false. Owing to in ternal troubles our Government hesitated to push matters, and with great patience waited for the formation of a Liberal Ministry. This forbearance was, it seems, taken as a sign of weakness. The Zorrilla Ministry prevaricated also ; it allowed new outrages to be commit. ted with impunity ; it promised to Indemnify Mr. Peake for his Illegal arrest ; and it prom ised to get a decree to carry the reform laws into execution. But almost the first impor tant act of the Ministry was to throw all of these promises overboard and to declare flatly against any sort of reform in Cuba,and against the demands of the United States. TIIE NEW GOVERNMENT AND CODA This speech—this formal and °Metal declar- ation 6y the most liberal Cabinet Spain has ever had,—contains the sentiments of the new Government, and shows the deliberate purpose to exterminnte the Cubans before considering, much less granting, any sort of reform, politi cal, economical, 'or social. It is a declaration so full and so clear that it will show our GOV ernment the folly of trusting longer to Spanish promises, and leave no further room for the hope that the Cuban question can be solved, or tor the pacification of-the Island by 'diplo matic measures. What then remains to be done 7 Doubtiess the President will act in accordance with the wishes of our people, and as our citizens are united in calling for the abolition of slavery in Cuba, I should not be surprised to hear that the next step would be the withdrawal or the recall of our Minister at Madrid. It is easy to foresee that the second will be Indicated by the President in his Mes sage to Congress, and I have no doubt that one sharp paragraph:at least, will be given to this subject. At any rate, the Cuban question must take large proportions during the coming. year, for we now know the purposes of Spain and her feelings toward us in this matter. HORRIBLE DEATH The Pittsburgh Gazette says : A runaway accident, of a fearful character,oc curred In Allegheny, yesterday—the details of which are sickening to read. The matter was first discovered by Officer 11. Miller, of the po lice force, who was returning to' the city along the Perrysville road, io a wagon, with a pris oner in charge when he observed a pair of horses attached to a lumber wagon, coming coming toward him. The officer drove his buggy directly across the road, and as the frantic team neared tho spot he succeeded In checking the animals. There was no person in charge of the runaway team, apparently, but on close Inspection, Officer Miller was horrified by the sight of a portion of a mans body entangles in the double tree and the front running gear of the wagon. The sight„ was sickening in the extreme. Pieces of the body was ground into the hindhoofs of the horses; other portions adhered to the wheels, and the lumber on the wagon was bespattered with blood. The roadway was marked with pieces of clothing, pieces of flesh and lumps of hair. Papers and other effects from the de ceased were picked up some distance back on the road, from which it appeared that the vie• tim was John S. Miller, a farmer residing in Brownsdale, Allegheny county. A. vecelpted bill for lumber purchased of Mr. James Mc. Brier, of Allegheny, was found in his pocket. The exact point at which the horses started to run, or what frightened them, of course le not known ; but It is supposed they ran at least three miles, as the toll•keeper says that they passed through the tollgate under such head. way that he could not see anything of the un fortunate man on the wagon. Portions of the body were scattered along the road for a cou ple of miles, and It Is supposed that the man in falling caught In the ew Ingle tree, and had his brains beaten out by the heels of the fright ened horses, while hie his body was torn and mangled by coming in contact with the ground.

The Norristown Register has discovered that Congressmen have been elected in this State and takes occasion to say so in the ar ticle which we publish verbatim below. No reproduce it, not only as a curiosity in litera ture, but as an interdsting chapter in the po litical history of this Congressional District, though every allowance must be made for the errors in facts which It contains : "Gov. Geary has published his Proclama tion declaring the election of the Congressmen elected in Pennsylvania at the October Bice lion. For the Sixth District composed of the Counties of Lehigh James S. Biery is declared duly elected. For this election Mr. Biery can feel himself Indebted to Hon. John D. Stiles and others of the "Ring" at Allentown, to William H. Witte and other secret intriguers in Montgomery County and we believe, to Hon. Samuel J. Randall, Chairman of the Democratic State Committee.' "Hon. John D. Stiles started the difficulty in Lehigh County. Two years ago, when the nomination belonged to Montgomery, he was quietly a candidate for re-nomination and went home from North Wales, mad because he did not get the nomination. Ho gave the nominee an indifferent support, and it has been stated to us that he handed out tickets with stickers of the Radical nominee pasted over that of the Democratic Candidate. That he also stated publicly on the night of the election when the returns were coming In, it ho had been the candidate ho would have polled a different vote thus boasting of self-supposed popularity. "At that time he made up his mind to be a candidate again for the nomination In 1872. Disparaging remarks were made of Dr. Acker's course in Congress, and the latter's name was not allowed to be mentioned in the Demo. cratic papers—the Allentown Democrat or the Republikaner, the Editor of the former Raines and the principal publisher of the latter, Weiser, being controlled by him. Dr. Acker's vote on the Tariff question although Ito had been greatly misrepresented on that question previous to the election, not being published until by special request from Dr. Acker him self so that he might be properly plaeee before his constituents of that county. "Then, when Gov. Geary failed to sign the Appointment bill, last winter and it was settled, Lehigh and Montgomery were to. re main together for the election of 1872, he im mediately set to work, to create the publilk opinion In Lehigh County, that that Counts , - , was entitled to the nomination, and to set the people of that County in that opinion so that they would not yield to Montgomery. This' ho artfully did, that is, set up the claim of Lehigh, that he might secure the nomination again for himself. This undoubtedly is the truth that ho did more than any other one man or perhaps than all others together to act Lehigh County in that way as It is believed that for a long time, no other persons in that county had any Idea of being candidates, it being generally considered that Dr. Acker would be conceded his second term: Stiles however so artfully worked up this Lehigh County tooling, for his own self aggrandize ment and selfish purposes, yet declaring all the time too, that he was not a candidate, though the ballots in the Allentown and Norristown Conferences show that he intended to be, and tam a candidate alt the time that others fell in with it to protect themselves and in order not to place themselves antagonististic to their county. It is a fact that dare not be disputed that there were delegates, one or more, in the Conferences at Allentown and Norristown, who considered that the nomination should be conceded to Dr. Acker and Who were ready and willing to vote for him on every ballot right from the start, but were prevented from so doing by the county, feeling, thus first set up by Stiles, and by the direct influence and threats on the part of those,pho had de • termined to defeat Dr. Acker's renomination even at the risk of having a Radical elected from this District. "William H. Witte, as the story goes, had agreed to take the nomination for Vico Presi• dent from the "Labor Reformers" and after ward to be endorsed by the Louisville "Stralght-outers." To draw him off from this, not to say to buy him from this course, and get his support for Greeley and Brown, it is stated Samuel J. Randall, promised to have him put on the list of State, Speakers of course with expenses paid, and to have him made the compromise candidate for Congress in the Sixth District. Then matters run so as to keep Montgomery and Lehigh "by the care" and apart,—and then it happened in the course of things that the conference met at Norris. town and broke up without making a nom illa tion Dr. Acker remaining as the regular nom inee of the party of the county ; Witte persist ing in running too and James S. 13 iery is de clared elected Congressman from this District. As already said, he can thank Hon. John D. Stiles, the (Allentown Ring) and other parties and nobody else under Heaven. Had it not been for the maccliniations of these parties, a harmonious Democratic nomination would have been made, the right would have pro vaned, a Democratic Congressman would haVe been elected in the Sixtlir District and James S. fiery Radical would have been elected to stay at home as he expected himself to be, w hec he was nominated as the Radical candidate.' What Ix the Effect of Counterfeit Money Among the distinguished writers of this country upon economic subjects—trade, cur rency and finance—Dr. Leiter wee preemi nent.. A careful observer of facts, every dis criminating in his judgement, just and logical in his conclusions, his writings will always be regarded with great respect. Only a few days before his death, says a Massachusetts exchange, ho sent the following proposition to a gentleman in this State who has devoted himself especially for many years, to the study of the money question : "If the mere Increase of paper money can really augment the wealth of a nation, and if a return to specie payment, or to paper that really presents values, can Injure it, then it plainly follows that, In point oftuditical econ omy, there can be no harm In counterfeits. The more counterfeit, the greater the wealth. To this the pesos addressed prepared the following reply, which In consequence of the announcement of tho doctor's decease, was not forwarded : " Counterfeit notes, so far as they pass cur rent as money, augment the wealth of the no. lion just as much as the present parr money of the United States. The destruction of 100 millions of dollars in counterfeits, If so many were in circulation, would Injure the county to the same extent as the withdrawal of 100 millions of national bank notes—no more, no less: but of course the country could not be benefitted by the Issue, or injured by the w It It drawal of either. On the other hand, the issue of the irredeem able paper money, counterfeit or genuine alike, expels an eqtfal amount of specie front the country without returning an equivalent value, and by enhancing the cost of produc. Hon; by artificially raising the nominal rate of wages and the normal rate of interest upon capital (as we see at the present time), pre vents an advantageous competition with for eign labor and capital, and retards the miter: al Increase of national wealth."
