The Milky and Watery Way. lIIMMSME When the eastern sky flushed, on a cer tain Autumn morning of last year, and the white caps of the farm women looked very cold in the grey light, little did the surly farmers think, as they rubbed the lingering sleep from their heavy eyelids, that they might be wide awake to see the donkeys and horses loaded—little did they think that in the little town six miles off, certain angry men had laid a plot against them. The broad pans of rich milk sweetened the air, as the white fluid passed through it, into the shining buckets strapped to the sheepskin saddles of the patient donkeys. The milk women counted the eggs, and folded the chrome butter in damp cloths. And we thought that, amid the gabble of the ser vants, the shrill cries for Cesar, Antoine, Louis, Josephine, (who wore boots that were a reasonable load for any donkey,) and Clementine who was warding off the ama tory advances of Cesar with a pitch-fork, we certainly heard the well-known creak of the well-pulley. The farmer, who by the time the farm-servants were fairly on the move, had fully resumed his daily remarka ble wide-awake appearance, seemed too, to have very curious business in hand. It had appeared to us that the Sieur Moineau made, as forcible ladies express it, 'more fuss than enough' over the milk: and so it appeared to his enemies as we shall presently show. Those sturdy legs of his would have failed him, even in those stiff leather gaiters, could he have peered, with those little grey eyes of his, into the future that lay but two ' hours ahead of the present. But as our friend Paleyanwater (a very old family) re-'. minds us, at least twice in every twenty-four hours, it is a blessing that we cannot tell what the next five minutes may bring forth. The Sieur Moineau, on the morning when we first made his acquaintance, went through his regular number of oaths at his men and women servants, rolled his potent rs up and down the dairy with his accustomed vigor, and, at last, saw his milk off for the market just as the sun had fairly left the horizon; with the firm conviction that Cesar, Joseph ine, Antoine and Clementine would return to their mid-day meal, loaded with that strange jumble of bell-metal and copper, that, in France, even last year, in country districts, represented the humbler currency of the imperial dominions.

COLUMBIA, PENNSYLVANIA, SATUIMAY MORNING, AUGUST 22, 1857. the hamlets dotted over the swell and fall of the land near the little town to which we I have already alluded, and for which the Sicur Moinean's milk procession was bound, similar preparations to those we have faintly indicated, had taken place. A bird's-eye 1 . view of five or six miles around the town— ]et us call it Romanville—would have dis covered a series of roads running into it, like needles into a circular pincushion. And upon one and all of these roads would have appeared sundry dark grey spots, relieved, as they neared the town, every moment by flashing light. These spots were milk equipages: the flashing lights the bright brass hoops of the milk pails, the chirp of the birds—birds that were evidently sharp searchers for the early worm—was occasion ally drowned by the shriller music of the milk women, who were indulging in retai -1 l niscences of Normandy, and taking, to mu sical ears, a very unpleasant means of com municating to any person who might be at hand their ardent desire to see it again; it being their deliberate opinion, after a com prehensive tour that there was nothing like it. Barricaded in their seats by baskets of eggs and butter, their heads and caps pro tected front the breeze by ample handker chiefs, their substantial ankles cased in deep blue stockings, these parties of milk venders were jolted on their way to Romoinville.— , Occasionally their animals would loiter to gather a more than usually attractive this tle—a giving way to temptation which these rough Amazons punished by the prompt in cision of a very substantial pin near the cul prit's hind quarters. Merrily enough many of these ladies gossiped along the road about Baptiste, the ploughman who had jilted Jeannette, and had married Elise instead, to his cost, as lie found out, and serve hint right. About the prodigious number of litres yielded by the black cow; about the garde ehampetre, who had spied a hare's foot peeping out of Adolphe's capacious pocket; in short, about the scandals in gen eral of the villages from which they were being jolted. And why not, pray? My la dy, who spends her mornings reviewing her long list of friends—who yawns when they are praised, and exhibits animation only when something may be heard of to their disadvantage, is allowed her malignant pleasure by all the world, and is permitted as the subject of sharp reviews by all the world also. Why, then, should Virginie, the ruddy-checked dairy woman, as she rides to market, be condemned to love her neighbors, or be forced to be good natured always, even to her bosom friends. Simple people, tied to the dust and smoke of towns, grow sentimental over rural life. They be lieve that there can be no heart-burnings be hind the ivy of a roadside cottage. They imagine tint t cottag,ers are necessarily- better people than the spare fellows who throw the shuttle in the gloomy lanes of great MEI The authorities of Romanville had given it as their decided opinion that the rural entourage of their ancient city, was in no respect better, but in every respect worse, than it should be. This had been the con viction of the inhabitants a long time, before the eventful morning on which we enjoyed the honor of an introduction to the Sieur Moineau. The cooks who met twice a day on the Grande Place, to bu - vegetables, gos sip about their mistresses, and realise their fair per centages on their purchases, had one and all declared that, in the long course of their protracted experience, they had never seen cheats so audacious as the vil lagers round about Romanville. Opinions travel rapidly in a provincial town; but, then this rapid travelling finds, perhaps, a whole ! some check, in the proverbial slowness of the sous-prefet and his subordinates. The half-dozen policemen who sauntered about the triumphantly ill-paved streets, and bronzed themselves valiantly under the fierce rays of the sun at some curiously low salary, could not reasonably be expected to do more than this. They were only mortals after all, though they wore the cocked hats so reverenced by Frenchmen generally. and insisted on, in Paris, when the new police was established. The new corps wore caps for a short time; but, we are assured, the people would pay no respect whatever to the kepis. The cocked hat is something to rev erence, or at any rate to fear. It was on the eve of the day when we first entrusted our hand to the awful grasp of the Sicur Moineau, that a meeting took place at llomanville, in a little, close bureau, originally forming one of the door keeper's residences, under the archway of the local museum and college. In this lit tie bureau, were those long green books; that coarse, brown tea paper upon which French underlings write; that ample pan of I sand for letter drying; that curious inkstand with a lump of wool in the ink; that square, red earthenware receptacle in a corner, which proves that the expectorators who paid their attentions to it, were not artillery officers; and, finally, that series of green card-board piled to the ceiling which gener ally make up a French bureau of modest pretensions. The pens, sharp as needles, and the blue green ink should not be for gotten. Everything looked greasy, of course. First, the men who were in the bureau, then the stools, then the broad black space around the door handle. A not very acute olfactory nerve might have gathered from the atmosphere a distinct odor of garlic. In this delightful retreat from the turmoil of the town, the entire body of Romanville police was gathered on the eve of that 1 eventful morning, which gave a shock to the nerves of the Sieur Minoan, under which he is laboring at the present moment. The cocked hats of the six policemen were piled upon the desk; and the shiny, cloiely-erop ped heads of the men were packed together pressing around their chief. This chief was a very serious man indeed, a man, you saw it at a glance, with a curious story. He wore the silver star of the legion, for ser- I vices performed far away from Romanville. Gossips said that his present position as chief of the Romanville constabulary, was given to him when he was disgraced. But, nobody knew what his antecedents were.--- He did his duty strictly, but not harshly; still, although a kind, he was not a compas sionble man. You never met him walking in the streets with a fellow townsman. His right arm held behind his back in his left; his eyes wandering coldly over the prospect, he would take his solitary walk round the ramparts; read the Contitutionnel after wards (it was always reserved for him at the cafe, on its arrival from Paris;) and re tire to rest punctually at ten o'clock. He was a man reduced to the unvarying precis ion of a time piece. Ile walked round the ramparts the same number of times every evening. It was at eight o'clock precisely I every evening that he opened the door of the Cafe de la Grande Place, and ordered a choppe of Strasbourg beer. At the meeting of his forces, in his greasy little bureau, he gave his orders in the calm methodical speech we expected to hear from him. A sergeant of the local gendamerie, was also at the meeting; and to him the Chief more particularly addressed himself. He told him to place a mounted patrol at every octroi gate around the city, as early as four o'clock the following morning, and to prevent every market man or woman, who carried a pail of any kind, from enter , ing the town. The patrol would detain all pail hearers who might present themselves til he arrived. The orders were to be com municated to the mounted patrols, on their arrival at the scene of action. The police men were enjoined to keep the matter secret, on pain of dismissal. We left the milkmaids merrily singing and gossiping on their way to Romanville. `This is a droll affair,' said the gendarme posted at the Octroi gates towards which the Sieur Moineau's procession was ad vancing, addressing a very peppery speci men of the time, whose bayonet towered over his glazed shako. 'Very droll,' replied the little warrior, as he planted himself firmly in the middle of the road, and prepared, if necessary, to charge the entire column of milkmaids and donkeys 'You cannot pass,' cried the gendarme to the women as they reaohed the gate, 'and you are detained. till the authoritie; have dealt with you. Get down, and enter the octroi ffice.' The reader who has not seen the French authorities deal with the French people; will he unable to realize the consternation this order created among the Mohican servants. The women grew ashy pale; and shrieked, and ela,ped their hands, and called upon their favorite saints, and begged for explan ation from the peppery little man, who looked his sternest, and was possibly disap pointed because he had not had an opportu nity of poking his bayonet, at least, into a donkey. They went chattering into the dark, greasy octroi room, where they sat upon the forms and wrung their hands, and implored the octroi official to give them some clue to the mystery. But the official was silent. Other milk parties arrived in rapid succession: and was treated, as the Moineau cavalcade had been. On each occasion, the screams, and prayers. and violent gestures peculiar to French excitement, were repeated. In an hour the little bureau was full of ruddy women, and bronzed countrymen in their blue blouses, who vented their indignation in a series of oaths, in which the letter r seemed to predominate. I Presently the chief of the police, accom panied by two of the officials, and two po licemen, were seen !approaching the barriere. The excitement in the octroi bcaureau be came intense. The white caps of the women could be seen, in stage=, one above the other, as they raised themsch es on tip-toe to catch a glimpse of the awful , procession. The chief looked more than usually serious; hut, on arriving before the bureau, he took no notice of the crowd of country-people gather. ed within it. It was evident that his business was not with them. They were not, how ever, left in a state of suspense; since the officials proceeded, with remarkable vigor, to drag the donkeys from the roadside, the I animals' heads and necks stretching to a wonderful length, before their bodies yielded to the tugs of the authorities. In a few minutes the pails were, untied, and arranged in a row against the hedge. It was now obvious that the Sieur Moineau's milk was about to undergo, in company with that of his neighbors, the severe test that was hence forth to be applied to it from time to time by the representatives of the law. A very serious-looking gentleman proceeded with the chemical analysis. It must have been unsati-.factory. Had the Sieur Moi neau mixed flour, or emulsion of almonds, or the brown extract of chicory with his milk that he might, without fear of detection by his customers, add gallons of water?— The babble of tongues under which the anal ysis was conducted, prevented us from learn ing the precise reason why, basketful after basketful of the farmer's milk was sent wan- dering in a broad white line along the open sewer of the road. There was hardly a pail ful that escaped. The Sieur Moil - Imes neighbors were not less culpable; and their milk, too, flowed in a broad white way through the streets of the town. In vain the women appealed to the policemen: in vain they assured the chief that the milk was as it came from the cows; the official chemist knew better, and tipped their pails over, one ofter the other, without appearing to take the least notice of their protestations. In half-an-hour the 3loineau servants were on their way back to: their master, their empty pails jingling at their sides, and their tongues doing their utmost to drown this jingling. From the barriere, where the Moineau procession was stopped and relieved of its burden, the chief and his officials repaired in succession to the remaining barrieres around Rumanville. At each barriere the scene already described was faithfully copied. The women chattered, and prayed, and ges ticulated; the pails were arrayed in rows, and the milk was sent bubbling along the sewer. Before seven o'clock the rich fluid— rich even with its admixture of water, and flour, and chicory—wbitened the long line of open sewerage across the city; a milky and watery way drawn by the authorities as a prompt and very impressive lesson to the farmers round about. And then, when the servants with jugs, and pans, and pitchers, darted into the streets to the accustomed gateway, under which their milk-vender usually sat, sur rounded by the snow-white pails, and found that she was not there; when the rubbish carts were in the streets, and the chiffoniers were investigating the worth of thtcastaway vegetables, and rags and dirt piled in neat heaps before every house; when the shutters were being taken down from the tobacco shops and the grocers; and when the air was scented with the morning rolls; the ex citement among the townsfolk became really dangerous. The six policemen walked up and down the street looking appropriately fierce and uncompromising. They gave no heed to the storks of the nurses who were bringing up their babies by hand, and who were consequently in despair. They were unmoved by the fact that a certain old lady . would be dead if she didn't get her milk soup before ten o'clock. They disregarded the sorrows of the children who would have to go without puddings; and the restaurateurs who were in despair about their day's sauces. They had done their duty, they said; even their chief had been compelled to drink black coffee, and there would be pure mi]k for everybody to-morrow! Pure - milk for everybody at the cost one day's milk for none. A day of fast was to procure a year of festival. Could London milkmen only live in dread of galactorneters, as now Paris milkmen do! For some day Paris will be in like manner taken by surprise; and the . produce of the forty-eight thousand three! hundred and seventy cows, whose milk she+ consumes, will flow in curls, like wedding ; favors, along the Boulevards!

NAnANr Ifotu.t, Aug. 6, 1.657. While deeply interested in the discussion of the luxurious repast provided for the hap -Ipy guests of this mansion yesterday after noon, my attention was diverted by the sound of music of a wild and Saracenic de scription, resounding from the exterior of the building. The melody appeared to be that portion of the "Battle of Prague" which represents the "cries of the wounded," ac comp/inlet' by an unlimited amount of exer tion on the part of the operator on the bass drum. Hastily rushing to the window, bearing elevated on the fork the large pota to from which I had partly removed the cu ticle, (Stevens gives us enormous potatoes, it takes twenty minutes to skin one proper ly,) I beheld a procession numbering some three or four hundred, all in their Sunday clothes, every man with a cigar in his mouth slowly and solemnly moving past the hotel. They bore a-banner at their head, on which was depicted an enormous cork screw, or some instrument of that description, with the motto 'A long pull, a strong:pull, and a pull altogether.' Judge of my astonishment and delight in recognizing in the bearer of this banner, my old friend, the philanthro pic Tushmaker, of wide-spread dental re nown. As the procession reached the front of the hotel, each man threw away his cigar and having replaced it by a large quid of tobacco, defiled upon the piazza, in a tolera bly straight line, and then gazing intently at the windows, opened his mouth, from one auricular orifice to the other, and showed his teeth. Never have I seen so glittering a display. Filled with curiosity, I was about to ask an explanation, when my friend Doolittle from Androscoggin, who had rush. ed to the window at the same time with myself, saved me the trouble, by demanding with an incoherent and exceedingly nasal pronunciation, 'Why what on airth is this 'ere?' 'This,' replied the courteous Hiram, whose suavity of manner is only equalled by the beauty of his person, 'this, sir, is the American Dental Association, composed of ' members from all parts of both continents, and the British West India- Islands.' ./e -retcsalent." said Doolittle, 'threchundred kWh carpenters!' It was indeed a thrilling spectacle. To $1,50 PER YEAR. IN-ADVANCE; $2,00 IF NOT IN ADVANCE think of the amount of agony that body of men had produced, and were capable of yet producing, to think of the blood they had shed, and of their daring and impetuous charges after the gory action was over:— The immortal charge at Bal:tklava was not a circumstance to the charges made daily I by this three hundred. As Hiram had truly said, these were dentists from all parts of the civilized world and elsewhere. There was the elegant city practitioner, with shiny hat and straw colored gloves, side by side with the gentleman from the country, who hauls a man all over the floor for two hours, for a quarter of a dollar, and gives him the worth of his money. I observed that forty-seven of them wore white hats, and two hundred and sixty eight used tobacco in some form. There can be no que,tion that this , übstance is a preservative for the teeth. I observed in the rear rank, the ingenious gentleman who invented the sudden, though painful method of extracting a tooth by climbing a tree, and connecting by a catgut string the offending member with a stout limb, and I then jumping down; a highly successful op- i eration, but not calculated to become norm- lar in the community. He wore buckskin moccasins, and did not appear to be enjoying a successful practice. But while I gazed with deep intere , t upon the assembly, the band struck np 'Tom Mg,' and away they went. Three times they en circled the hotel, then 'with their wing , aslant, like the fierce cormorant' swooped down upon the bar, registered their names, and took a grand Federal drink, (each man paying for himself.) Here toasts and sent iments were the order of the day. 'The American Dental Association, like water men, we pull one way and look another.'— 'A three dollar cavity, very tilling at the the price.' The woodcock, emblem of den tistry—he picks up his living from the holes, and passes in a precious long bill.' The memory of Dr. Beale, drank standing.— These, with other sentiments of a similar meritorious character were given, and re ceived with great applause. Having all drank from the flowing bowl, the association again formed in line in front of the piazzas, which were now crowded with a curious and admiring throng, and sang with surprising harmony the following beautiful, plaintive, and appropriate chant: ''Oh, Jonathan Gibbs he broke his tewth, A °Mill' plithill, a entni pothIiW— JOIUMIUTI thbbs be broke his tewth. A eatin' puddin% u eutin" pudihn". “Grent lump of suer, they stuck Inv., if, lotew it, novav n, uotety it. totem” it— Great lamps of suer, they stuck item" it, As log as my two thumbs.- The chaunt finished, and the applause sudsiding, an' air of gravity came over the association, and the president, Dr. 'rash maker, stepping forward, announced that a few pleasing and wonderful performances would now be gone through with, with the object of exhibiting the dexterity acquired by the members of the society. Then turning to the line he gave the command, 'Draw!' In an instant every one of the association was armed with a brilliant turn screw. 'Fix!' shouted Dr. Tu.hmaker. and each member opened his mouth and attached his fearful instrument to a back tooth.— 'Haul!' screamed the doctor. 'Hold, for God's sake,' shouted I, hut it was too late; three hundred double fanged back teeth, dripping with blood, were held exultant in the air. The assoeir.tion looked cool and collected; there might have been pain, but, like the Spartan boy, they repressed it; the ladies with a cry of horror fled from the piazza. 'Replace!' shouted Dr. Tushmaker, and in an instant every tooth returned to the mouth whence it came. I under,tood it at once; it was ball practice with blank car tridge—they were all false teeth. Several other interesting exercises were gone through I with. A hackman passing by in his carriage was placed under the influence of chloroform, ! all his teeth extracted without pain, and an entire new and elegant set put in their place, all in forty-two seconds. His appear ance was wonderfully improved; he had been known for years as 'snaggle toothed Bill,' but a new and more complimentary title will have to be devised fur him. Wonderful are the improvenents of science. At five o'clock the procession was reformed, and the band playing 'Pall Brothers, Pall,' the association moved off, returning by the Nclly Baker to Boston. I have never seen three hundred dentists together before, and I dont believe anybody else ever did, but I consider it a pleasing and improving spectacle, and would suggest that the next time they meet they make an excursion which shall conbine business with pleasure, and all go down together and re move the snags from the mouth of the Mis sissippi. We had a hop here last night; Belle, a young lady from Boston. Good bye. Re member mo to the Tewth Doctor. Yours respectfully, terScott says that 'every man that lives has his light and shades.'
