Locofoco

Locofoco \Lo`co*fo"co\, n. [Of uncertain etymol.; perh. for L.
   loco foci instead of fire; or, according to Bartlett, it was
   called so from a self-lighting cigar, with a match
   composition at the end, invented in 1834 by John Marck of New
   York, and called by him locofoco cigar, in imitation of the
   word locomotive, which by the uneducated was supposed to
   mean, self-moving.]
   1. A friction match. [U.S.]
      [1913 Webster]

   2. A nickname formerly given to a member of the Democratic
      party. [U.S.]
      [1913 Webster]

   Note: The name was first applied, in 1834, to a portion of
         the Democratic party, because, at a meeting in Tammany
         Hall, New York, in which there was great diversity of
         sentiment, the chairman left his seat, and the lights
         were extinguished, for the purpose of dissolving the
         meeting; when those who were opposed to an adjournment
         produced locofoco matches, rekindled the lights,
         continued the meeting, and accomplished their object.

Lucifer \Lu"ci*fer\, n. [L., bringing light, n., the morning
   star, fr. lux, lucis, light + ferre to bring.]
   [1913 Webster]
   1. The planet Venus, when appearing as the morning star; --
      applied in Isaiah by a metaphor to a king of Babylon.
      [1913 Webster]

            How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of
            the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground
            which didst weaken the nations!       --Is. xiv. 12.
      [1913 Webster]

            Tertullian and Gregory the Great understood this
            passage of Isaiah in reference to the fall of Satan;
            in consequence of which the name Lucifer has since
            been applied to Satan.                --Kitto.
      [1913 Webster]

   2. Hence, Satan.
      [1913 Webster]

            How wretched
            Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favors! . .
            .
            When he falls, he falls like Lucifer,
            Never to hope again.                  --Shak.
      [1913 Webster]

   3. A match[1] made of a sliver of wood tipped with a
