To the Editor Of The Union:
Many Of the New York papers have been ma
king a great outery about the monopoly" OF the

published the following statement: an has been the
custom, Of the merchants 10 call The pilot oho brought
IN ship 10 take her Out lohsn she again ntn 10 sea
Thu the merchants hare done for the encouragement
Of enterprise among the pilots The custom had, hOtc
ersr been established and the merchants hare almost
universally continued IT, great hare been their prOrO
cations from the .Nsp York pilots and their aeeo,nno-
dntOns from the Jersey pilots" In order that the pub
lie may know who the "monopolsts," will
state few facts which can be substantated at any
time.
The six New York licensed pilots, composing the
company Of the ''pilot-boat New York, 3" have pilot

DENTAL SURGEONS, of Bond street, New
- York, having pracrsed the three past winters
in this city, respectfully announce to their friends
and the public that they have concluded TO keep
their Washington Office open during the entire year
in future, at their present location on Pennsylvania
avenue, near Tenth street, where one or both of the
partners may always be found in attendance. They
respectfully tender their professional services TO their
friends and the public, and invite all who may re-
quire the advice and skill OF the experienced and
practical dentist to call them, learn their terms
and examine their claims TO public confidence and
patronage. They would particularly call attention
TO their patent method Of fastening artificial teeth
when set ON gold plate which is used by them alone
in the city OF Washington. The most prominent
advantages the following:
LIST. Ii saves the pain attendant upon the removal
Of the roots the front teeth when in healthy
dition, and makes those highly useful in fast
ening the artificial teeth.
Cd. Il gives the teeth greater frmness, rendering
them always much less troublesome and more
full in the process of mastication than the common
mode.
Sd. 1t renders it easy to remove and replace the
teeth, which, together with the peculiar simplicity
of the fastenings, enable the wearer TO keep them al
ways clean.
The great improvement secured by this patent
needs but TO be seen in order to be understood and
used to be appreciated 1t il universally commend
ed by those who have ava.led themselves of its adj
vantages.
