_Nato are Dr. Hurd's Preparations Good?
The best evidence that they are is, that their
firmest eliends and best patrons are those who
have used them longest. Dr. William B.
%Hurd is an eminent Dentist of Brooklyn,
Treasurer of the New York State Dentists'
Association, and these preparations have
been used in his private practice for years,
and no leading citizen of Brooklyn or Wil
liamsburg, questions their excellence, while
.eminent Dentists of New York recommend
them as the best known to the profession.—
Without the aid of advertising, dealers have
'sold them by the gross.
The Editor of the Brooklyn Daily Times
•su) si—"We•are happy to know that our friend
Dr. llurd, is succeeding beyond all expecta
tions with his Mouth Wash and Tooth Pow
der. The great secret of his success rests
with the fact that his articles aro precisely
what they aro represented to be, as we 'can
testify from their tong use."
The well known P. T. Barnum writes:—
"I found your Tooth Powder so good that my
family have used it all up. We find it the
best Powder for the Teeth that we ever used.
1 shall leel obliged if you will send me another
supply at the Museum at your convenience,
with bill."
But their cost is so small that every one
may test the matter for himself.
la- Beware of the ordinary Tooth Powders.
Dr. Herd's Tooth Powder contains no acid,
nor alkali, nor charcoal, .and polishes without
wearine the enamel. Use no other.
What will Dr. ilarces Remedies Effect?
Dr. Hurd's Mouth Wash and Tooth Powder
will give young ladies that finest charm in
woman—a sweet breath and pearly teeth.—
Try them ladies.

Farmers and. 'Mechanica ! you cannot well
atibrd to neglect your teeth. For a trifling
- sum, you can now get preservatives, than
which Rothschild or Astor call get nothing
better. Remember that DYSPEPSIA. and
CONSUMPTION OF THE LUNGS often
originate in Neglect of Teeth. Send for the

seivations on this subject. If too late to
arrest decay in your own teeth ) save your
children's teeth.
Neuralgia Plasters.
Dr. litied 3 o Neuralgia Non-Adhesive Plas
ters are the most pleasant and successful reme
dies ever prescribed for this painful disease.
The patient applies one, soon becomes drowsy,
fulls asleep, and awakes free from pain, and
no blister or other unpleasant or injurious
consequences ensue. For Earache and Nerv
ous Headache, apply according to directions,
and relief will surely follow. Nothing can be
obtained equal to Dr. flurd's Compress for
Neuralgia. Try them. They are entirely a
novel, curious, and original preparations, and
wentlerfully successful. They are of two
sizes, one small, for the face, price 15 cents,
and the other large, for application to the body,
price 37 cents. Will be :nailed on receipt of
prace and one stamp.
What are the People Doing?
The American people are intelligent enough
to appreciate preparations that contribute so
much to the happiness of those using them,
Aud they want them. Every mail brings us
.letters„ some ordering the Treatise on Teeth,
: some the Neuralgic , Plaster, and not a few
,enclosing 37 cents for the Mouth Wash, to be

to reply that it is impossible to send a half

"THERE'S NO SUCH WORD AS FAIL."
The proudest motto for the young--
Write it in lines of gold
Upon thy heart, and in thy mind
The stirring words unfold,
And in misfortune's dreary hour
Or fortune's prosperous gale,
'Twill have a holly, charming "power—
" There's no such word as fail.',
The sailor on the stormy sea,
May sigh for distant land;
And free and fearless though he be,
Would they were near the strand:
But when the storm with angry breath,
Brings lightning, sleet and hail,
He climbs the slippery mast, and sings
"There's no such word as fail."
The wearied student bending o'er
The tombs of other days,
And dwelling on their magic lore,
For inspiration prays;
And though with toil his brain is Weak,
His brow is deadly pale,
The language of his heart will speak )
"There's no such word as fail?'
The wily statesman bends his knee
Before, Fame's glittering shrine ;
And who a humble suppliant be
To genius so divine ;
Yet though his progress is full slow,
And enemies may rail,
He thinks at , last the world to show
" There's no such word as fail."
The soldier on the battle plain,
When thirsting to be free,
And throw aside a galling chain, ,
Say, " Oh, for liberty !"
Our household and our native land—
We must—we will prevall;
Then breast to breast, and hand to hand,
"There's no such word as fail."
The child of God, tho oft beset
By fods without—within—
These precious words will near forget,
Amid:their dreadful din ;
But upward looks with eyes of faith,
Armed with the Christian's mail;
And in the hottest conflict, saith
"There's no such word as fail."
PRENTICE SAYINGS.-- The, Nashville
Union says a Union man "with a but" is
as bad as a rank secessionists. But when
our rams get to work on the Mississippi
some tall Union work with tremendous
butts must be expected. The New Or
leans papers of the Sth complain bitterly
that the butchers in that city refuse Con
federate: notes in market. If they can
get nothing but worthless paper, let them
sell nothing but spoiled meat. Our New
Orleans Butler has drawn the cork from
the mouth of the Mississippi and placed
it in the mouth of secession. Unless the
rebels can get more salt, their flesh won't
keep through the summer; it will rot
from their bones. The rebels accept the
services of all the female rebels can get.
They want bells to make cannon and
belles to shoot them. There have been
hundreds of well-attested cases where
the rebels buried their sick and wounded
before death. The Saviour said "let the
dead bury the dead," but he never said
let the live bury 'the living. Some of
the army hate Gen. McClellan because
he ranks higher than they in Military
position. He can say with Hamlet,
though in a different sense, "Oh my of
fence is rank." The Cincinnati Enqui
rer says that "Commodore Porter does
not let the grass grow under his feet."
People who work on the water seldom
do. If Jeff Davis and his gang be not
hung our good mother earth will prob
ably refuse in disgust ever to bring forth
another crop of hemp. A telegraphic
despatch, published-yesterday, says that
Gen. Halleck's forces have "got a strong
position right in the enemy's teeth."
We hope they havn't got a position right
between his teeth. If Gen. Floyd shall
be hung, the sheriff and clergyman on
the scaffold had better look out for their
pocket-books.
TO MARE A HUSBAND DIE EASY.—The
husband of a buxom wife near Exeter,
England, had long been dying, and, at
length, one of the clergy of the parish,
making one of his daily visits, found him
dead. The disconsolate widow in giving
her account of her spouse's last moments,
told him her poor dear man kept groan
ing, but could not die. "At last," said
she, " I recollected that I had got a new
piece of tape in the drawer, and so I
took some of that and tied it as tight as
I could around his neck, and then I
stopped his nose with my thumb and
finger, and, poor dear 1 he went off like
a lamb l"

a parish famous for its profanity, he was

'MARIETTA, JUNE 21, 1862.
BUNYAN'S Toms.—A new tomb has
been erected over the grave of the author
of 'The Pilgrim," in BUnhill Fields
Burial Ground, City Road, London.
The requisite funds for this memorial
have been raised by public subscription.
The length of the tomb is about seven
feet, and the height rather
. over 4 feet.
On the top, in a reclining posture, with
book in hand, is the carved effigy of John
Bunyan, in stone, with the head resting
on a pillow, the.length of the figure being
5 feet 8 inches. On the north side, in
relief, is a stone panel representing
Christian starting on his pilgrimage, with
the harden on his back; and on the south
side Christian is represented as in the
act of reaching the cross, and the burden
falling from his shoulders. At the east
end of the tomb is the following insrip
tion, engraved on a piece of the old
stone.: "John Bunyan, author of the
"Pilgrim's Progress ;" ob. 31st August,
1688 ; aet. GO."
HOME GuAuns.—As a company of our
Home Guards were marching along
State street, on their way to Camp
Douglas, they suddenly met an unexpec
ted enemy, in the form of a wild and
wrathful bull who, not liking the appear
ance of the advancing column, made a
furious attack upon the front lines, as
intending to mow his way through to
the rear. The foremest of the valiant
soldiers prepared to receive the enemy
charge with fixed bayonets, but on a
near approach, his formidable appear
ance proved too much for their untried
nerves, and several broke ranks and
scattered. One of them, howeirer, man
fully stood his ground, and succeeded in
impaling the enemy on his glittering
bayonet. The point of the cold steal
penetrated Mr. Bull's heart, and he fell

He had been complaining for a few days
and while holding a child in his arms,
belonging to a relative, fell insensible to
the floor, at his residence, in Eighth
street, between Market and Arch. He
remained unconscious to the last. He
was a native of Dublin, in Ireland, and
came to this country early in life. He
was married, about fourteen years ago, to
Mrs. H. Hunt—the present Mrs. Drew
who, was already an actress of high stand

years of age, and leaves three children

Horsy-Ramsu.—We see long direc
tions given for the cultivation of this,
perhaps the easiest and simplest raising
of all esculents. It requires a rich,
moist, deep soil. Plant pieces of the
root with a portion of the crown, a foot
apart, a couple of inches under ground,
and let them alone, except to remove
grass and weeds, and you will have
horse-radish ever after. Persons who
have springs or streams upon ' their
premises can plant along them, where
the soil is moist and in good condition,
and a crop for a lifetime may be pretty
sorely calculated on, provided the whole
crop is not used up, and a little care
.is taken to stick slips in the ground oc

ARMS GIVEN Ur.—On each occasion
that a boat goes into the river now, it
comes back with a number of arms
gil) r en up by deserters from the rebel
service, who are now in their homes in
that vicinity, peacefully employed at
their respective pursuits, The 500 men
noticed some time since as having taken
the oath of allegiance at the hands of
Captain Harris, of the Island Belle, have
all given up their arms, and are at work
in that section of the country,from which
the most of them hailed. Some of the
the citizens of the neighborhood inform
ed bur officers a day or two since that
last week a Colonel, two Captains and
three Lieutenants who had been serving
in the Confederate army, returned to
their homes in that vicinity, having be
come sick of the service.—Nash. Star.
A FEMALE TEAMSTER.—The Nashville
Despatch states that on Saturday last
one of the soldiers, or rather a teamster,
attached to one of the Ohio regiments
aud: who has been confined at the hospi
tal for a few days with measles, was
discovered to he a woman. She hails
from the vicinity of Gallapolis, Ohio, and
first joined the reguar army, when her
sex was discovered, and she was engaged
as a teamster to an Ohio regiment at
twenty-five dollars per month. She is
represented as about eighteen years old,
and made rather a handsome boy. She
has three brothers in the army, but not
in the regiment to which she was attach
ed.
COMFORTS FOR HOMELY WOMEN.—Beau
ty, says Lord Kaimes, "is a dangerous
property, tending to corrupt the mind
of the wife, though it soon loses its in
fluence over the husband. A figure
agreeable and engaging, which inspires
affection without the ebrity of love is a
much safer choice. The graces lose not
their influence like beauty. At the end
of thirty years, a virtuous woman, who
makes an agreeable companion, charms
her husband more than at first. The
comparison of love to fire holds good in
one respect, that the fiercer it burns the
sooner it is extinguished."
to - The princely mind will ruin a
private fortune. Keep the rank in
which Providence has placed you; and
do not make yourself unhappy, because
you cannot afford whatever a wild fancy
might suggest. The revenues of all the
kingdomes of the world would not be
equal to the expense of one extravagant
person.
Cr Let us so order our conversation
in the world that we may live, when we
are dead, its the affections of the best,
and leave an honorable testimony in the
consciences of the worst.

FACTS ABOUT . LONDON.—The census
develops the curious fact that there are
more Scottish descendants in London
than in Edinburg, more Irish than in
Dublin, 100,000 more Romanists than in
Rome, and more Jews than in Palestine.
There are also, in the same metropolis,
over 60,000 Germans, 30,000 French,
and 6000 Italians, a very large number
of Asiatics from all parts of the east,
and many who still worship their idols.

HOW THE PRINCE TOOK A JOKE.-OWE •
ing to his slimness of person, the Prince
had preserved the sobriquet of "Slender
Billy ;" and upon one occasion, Lord
Fitzroy Somerset, not being aware of
his presence, asked at the dinner-table :
"what has become of Slender Billy, to
day ?" "Here I am, Fitzroy, and shall
be happy to drink a glass of wine with
you." Another ludicrous circumstance
arose from a slight baldness the Prince
had, even as a young man and which
attempted to conceal, by, havicg his
back hair carefully combed, and brought
over the bald spot. One day, Freman
tle, allusion to this, remarked : "You
see, his Royal Highness makes the after
guard do main-top duty." "A well-stored
barn requires no thatch," the Prince
promptly replied. Fremantle, who was
unaware of his presence, colored up, and
began stammering an apology, when his
brother aid-de-camp set him quite at
his case by the friendly manner in which
he exclaimed," Jack ! "I'll pay you."
TURNED DP A.LITE.—Some time since,
Mr. David Yohe, of Pigeon Creek,
Washington county, Pa., went to the
battle field at Fort Donelson and had
disinterred (as he supposed) the body of
his son, who had received a wound du
ring the fight, of which he afterwards
died and was buried. The body was
conveyed home and re-entered in the
family burial ground, at Pigeon Creak,
all the family being satisfied of the
body, except a sister of the deceased.—
Last week Mr. Yohe was astonished at
receiving a letter from his son, whom
he supposed dead and buried, stating
that, after some weeks treatment in the
hospital, he had recovered, so far as to
be able to join his company and ex
pected to take part in the next battle.
The joy of the family can better be im
magined than described.
THE GRAVE Or ABRAHAM.-A corres
pondent. who met the Prince of Wales
while traveling in the East, says : The
Prince was at Heborn while we were
there. He and his suite obtained per
mission to visit the cave of Machpelah,
Abraham's burial place. They are the
first Christians who have been allowed to
enter it since crusades, nearly 'MO years
ago. Dr. Stanley says everything is
kept in the most laeautiful order, and
nothing could be more satisfactory than
the state in which the tombs are pre
served. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Jos
eph, Sarah,Rebecca and Leah are buried
there.
COLT'S ARMORY.—The number of men
now employed in Colt's armory is about
1,100, and the pay-roll amounts to near
ly $50,000 st mounth. The value of the
machinery and tools in the old armory
is not less than half a million dollars.
The new 'improvement or addition will
just double the size and capacity of this
immense establishment, making it the
largest armory in the world. Tho car
penters are now finishing the interior of
the mail building of the new part, and
about $40,000 worth of new machinery
for making gun stocks has been placed
in the wing connecting the two main
buildings.
CLERGYMAN'S LIFE.—To a person who
regretted to the celeprated Dr. Johnson
that he had not been a clergyman, be
cause he considered the life of clergyman
an easy and comfortable one, the doctor
made this memorable reply :—"The life
of a conscientious clergyman is•not easy.
I have always cosidered a clergyman as
the father of a larger family than he is
able to maintain. No, sir, Ido not envy
a clergyman's life as an easy life ; nor
do I envy the clergyman who makes it
an easy life."

Inevitably we go beyond biro, back to

is easy to single out the three ri -
able figures from the brilliant
,f,.ren:t
that rides near him. The Prince d..!
Joinville is more easily found than th. ,
others; he rides more characteristie,lll:-,
and his dress is peculiar. He "douches"
loosely in his saddle and stoops over.
S. A. R. the Count de Paris seems what
he very certainly is, a brave gentleman
and a gallant soldier. He is not a con
ventional prince, nor yet exactly a con
ventional soldier. We see in him the
Bayard of France's royal race, a true
knight, and the champion of the future.
His features and figure show the Ger
man blood that comes by his mother.
He is larger and fuller in frame than the
others and promises to be fuller in flesh.
His hair, too, verges towards the Ger
man tint, and the predominant expres
sion on his face is a truly Uerthan ami
ability and good nature. Yet he is a
true Frechman ; for, on the night of the
battle of Williamsburg, when ail near
headquarters were cold, hungry, an,l
thirsty, he stood by the fire and non
chalanty ate chocolate, and offered a
piece to General Summer. That, we
take it, proves his Gallicism. Sweet
chocolate to a savage old soldier, hungry
as au earthquake.
But of all princes the perfect beau
ideal is the Due de Chartres. Be cer
tainly realized what has been dreamed
by so many young ladies of what a per
fect prince ought to be. Peculiarly
effeminate in form and face, with a quick
nervous manner; courteous and brave
and always careful to look well—a gal
lant Frenchman all over, and a gallant
soldier, too. He will doubtless be re
membered in the future as the best ap
proximation to personal royalty that we
have yet seen on our . side the water.
Whoever saw these men on this day,
as, with Gen. McClellan, they rode over
the field of the Seven Pines, and up to
and into the fire, must hail) had odd
fancies of the topsy-turvy arrangements
of old Dame Fortune—born priuces,with
their swords out in the cause of repub
lican freedom and unity.
MALICIOGSLY MEAN.-Art unfavorable
slough may be got up in a rual district
by a man who combines caution with
malignity, and all in such a way that you
cannot lay hold of the malicious but
cautious man. Let us suppose a new Dr.
is coming to the village. You, the old
doctor, go about the village and beg
people to try to receive him civilly: lie
may not be a bad man after all, The
truth probably is that nobody supposes
him a bad man, or intends to receive
otherwise than civilly ; but a few days
injudiciously spent may excite a preju
dice which will take some time to allay.
Some one speaks in praise of an acquain
tance. You may reply, in a hesitating
way, "Yes ; he is rather a nice fellow
but—well, I don't want to say anything
bad of any one." lu this way you have
not committed yourself, but you have
given a worse impression than you,could
probably have conveyed by,auY difluite
charge you could haVe made against the
man. Honest and manly folks, indeed,

TETE SLIDF,LT, FAMILY,-A Paris letter
pretends to give a graphic detail of the
plans end policy of the. Slidell family, in
their united capacity as a Rebel embassy
in the French capital, down to the mo
ment when Napolen accorded his latest
and very probably last—interview to
Mr. Slidell. The meeting took place
in very quiet manner at the residence of
the Count De Persigny, during au at
ternoon reception of some of the most
distiagnished French statesmen and po
liticians. Napoleon took Slidell to a
seat, and conversed with him iltring the
space of an hour, winding up with an
advice to the Rebel leaders "to lay down
their arms, as their canse was hopeless."
Count de Persigny left Paris for London
the next morning and it was presumed
that his journey was undertaken with
refer.ence to the new shape in which his
Imperial master had produced his idea
of intervention in American affairs.
