his office next tlooi to Dr. S.
Walton, where he is fully prepared to treat
the natural teeth, and also to insert incorrup- ;
tible artificial teeth on pivot and plate, in trje
latest and most improved manner. Most
persons know the danger and folly of trust
jng their work to the ignorant as well as
the traveling dentist. It matters not how
much experience a person may have, he is
liable to have some failures out of a number
of cases, and if the dentist lives at a distance
jt is frequently put off until it is too late to
.save the tooth or teeth as it mav be, other
wine the inconvenience and trouble of going
no far. Hence the necessity of obtaining the
services of a dentist near home. All work
warranted.

A Story With a Moral. Some

To the latter class belongs Mr. Uailder, a

which led to the consumption of a suffi

chain. Having completed his meal, the
bell rang. Somebody had called to col
lect a small bill. While counting out the
amount Mr. Builder said to his com
placent and gratified spouse :
"I want sixty cents change, dear.
Have you got it handy.
"I have, duckey,' exactly that amount.
Oddly enough, 1 sold an old stove to day
for precisely that sum and here it is." :
"An old stove !" said Mr. Builder, with
a slight look of alarm.
"Yes, lovcy ; that old thing that was
cracked and broken, up in the storeroom.
I was going to pay somebody to take it
away, but the rag man offorcd me sixty
cents for it, and I was glad to let him
take it."
"And you've sold the old stove in the
storeroom to a rag man.

Mr Builder rushed up stairs. He looked

lie tnen executed a movement upon the
blue dahlias upon the carpet that would
have brought down applause to the late
Yroa Matthias.
4iWhere does that ragman live V he
asked with a degree of abruptness that al
most caused Mrs. Builder to jump out of
her gaiters.
"I don't know, dear: never saw the
man before in my life. What's the mat
ter. Mr. Builder did'nt stop to reply. For
safe keeping he had desosited in the cast
off stove the sum of 325 in greenbacks.
Mr. Builder left information at the police
office, but didn't get any special satisfac
tion. We know a lady who last year traded
for a china rooster a pair of her husband's
trowsers with an itinerant Polander. In
the pocket of the trowsers was four hun
dred dollars. Philadelphia Norih Ameri
can. An Alaskan Novelty. A very
singular production, known as "soup ber
ries," are to be found in immense quanti
ties throughout Alaska. They grow on a
bush about the same in appearance as
whortleberries. When ripe they arc red,
of a juicy and quinine taste, and generally
biennial. One nuart taken and placed in
j a tub the size of a bushel will, when stir
red, completely fill the tub with a froth,
and the more it Ls stired with the naked
hand and arm, the stiffer it becomes, un
till you can cut it with a knife. It is
eaten with horn or wooden spoons, all the
family sitting round the tub. It is un
doubtedly an acquired taste, but the com
modity is much sought for. The froth is
of a beautiful pink color. Green bcrric?
will make nearly the same amount of froth
but it is of a white color and is not so
highly flavored. Foreigners stir it with
port or sherry wines, and add sugar, in
which case it is a delicious luxury. Large
quantics arc dried, by being placed in a
tub with their leaves, forming a cake,
which is placed on wicker tables, with
light fires under and the overhead. When
dried they will keep in a dry place for
some years. The dried berries are black
and look dirty. A piece two inches
squire, beaten in a water pool, will fill it
full of froth of a dark pink color.
Doing Double Duty. A Southern
paper tells us an amusing story of how
the newly made "man and brother" is
enabled to make a respectables appearance
during the week at small expense to him
self. During the week, says this journal,
while the washerwoman has the clothes
of her customer in hand, she hires
them out for special occasions, to the
colored aristocracy, and sometimes to
"poor whito trash." After being worn till
Friday they are washed again and return
ed to the owner. This sharp practice, addi
our authority, is not played altogether
upon innoccut young men, but our fasti
dious young ladies are subject to the
same trick, and the fine linen worn by
Miss Flora McFlimscy on Sunday, is
soaked with perspiration from the sable
Dinah at the ballon Wednesday or Thurs
day night. Who doubts the ability of
the frcednien to take care of himself? No
cuter trick was ever devised by a Yankee
sharper.
Could not our Philadelphia friends
coutrive to have an election every day in
the week, and every week in tho year ?
We do not know how they mijiht relish
it, but we know how wc should. Nobody
was robbed, on the Pennsylvania election
I day in New York. Nobody was assault
ed. Nobody had his pookpets picked.
Ihe pouco had littlo or nothiug todo.
Tho police courts were idle. It might
be pretty rough on Philadelphia, but wc
should like to make permanent loan of
; those interesting classes of our population

letter from g: v. b. to gov. SEYMOUR.
Governor: The result of yesterday
must convince you of the hopelessness of
further persistence on the part of the
Democratic party in this election. I fee)
that it is so, and regard it as my duty to
shift from myself the responsibility of any
further expenditure of money and time,
by asking that you will disband your fol
lowers, now arrayed in opposition to the
expressed will of the American people.

General Lee, it will be remembered
took the suggestion kindly, and at once ad
opted it. 44That portiou of the Confed
erate States army, known as the Army of
Northern Virginia" was surrendered.
Will history repeat itself?
G. W. B. advertises in the same paper
as follows :
"Ax apple tree wanted. The sub-
scriber wants an Apple Tree, similar to
to the famous one of Appamattox, under
which to receive the surrender of Gov.
Seymour to Gea. Grant, November Cd.
1853.

Here heeonfounds two things, a grace
ful surrender and a rout. If his wise ad
vice and that of the IVorhl be adopted,
Governor Seymour will withdraw at once,
and the apple tree will not be need ia
November, but now. If not, whn No
vember comes there will be no apple tree
wanted at all ; no parleying, no surrender,
no terms; only a dissappearancc.
SHERUTFLYLE.
The probability is that Sheriff Lyle, if
he remains much longer in office, will
have the pleasure of hanging some of his
own deputies. Mr. James Flanigan, who
so brutally murdered the young boy Per
kins, was specially commissioned by Sheriff
Lyle, and we doubt if he would have dar
ed to fire his pistol but for the authority
Sheriff Lyle gave him to domineer over
officers and citizens. We are opposd to
capital punishment, yet if hanging must
be inflicted it should be for such crimes
as Flanigan's. It is likely that Flanigan
will be convicted of murder in the first
degree. In that case it will be the duty
of the Sheriff to hang him. In such a
contingency, there is something horribly
ludicrous, but it shows of what monstrous
audacity Sheriff Lyle was guilty when he
pretended that ho appointed these ruf
fians to keep the peace of the city, and
after all he has to hang them for murder..

The Old "Wiimot Districts
In the fall of 1S44, when Francis Jt.
Shunk, of blessed memory, was the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor of Penn
sylvania, being closely pressed by adverse
results in Philadelphia and elsewhere, he
was saved from defeat by the splendid"
majorities given in the Wimot district, iu
Northern Pennsylvaia. The same counties
in November following secured the vote
of the Stato to James K. Polk, and made
him President of the United States. Look

Furo Democracy.
A popular song onions tho pure Demo
cracy indicates sone benign results which
will follow the election of Seymour, as
follows :
If you would drink your lapcrboer,
If you would drink your whiskey clear,
If excise you would 'not fear,
Then vote for Seymour sure this year, '
CiiORUs-For he belongs to Gideon sband,&c,
Seymour and Blair want to upset th8
Southern Governments, and inaugurate
another war. Good, honest General
Grant, practical man of no ostenta
tion or parade, a lover of his country,
purcand simple, says "Let us have peace.'
