Origin Of the a0ord "Blackguards." In
all great houses, but particularly in royal
residences, there were number Of men
and dirty dependents, whose office it was
to attend the wood yard, sculleries, Sc.-
Of these, Qor in the lowest depth there
was lower still,) the most forlorn w retch-
es seem to have been selected to carry
Goals to the kitchen, halls, &c. To this
smutty regiment, who attended the pro.
gress and rode the carts with the pots and
kettles, which, with every other article Of
furniture were then removed from palace
to palace, the people in derision gave them
the name of blackguards-a term since
become sufficiently familiar, and never
before properly explained Gtbord's Notes

Paris and London Compared.-The
French metropolis is undoubtedly the fin
est monumental city in the world, with this
advantage, that it can always be seen from
an elevated point, while London is usually
enveloped in smoke and mist, and presents
gigantic outline, dim and underlined. AS
cend the column in the Place Vendome,
the towers of Notre Dame, the heights of
Montmartre, or Belleyille, or the artificial
mound in the Jardin des Plantes. On
every side you have bright stereotyped
view. Look down on London from the
dome of St PauPs, the Monument, the
keeper of the Tower or Primrose-hill, and
you can seldom distinguish snything be-
yond the circuit inscribed within 6 radius
OF half mile. Nay, even ON summers
day, you may post yourself on Waterloo
bridge, and Westminster or Blackfriars is
scarcely distinguishable. This is less the
eject of climate than of the dense, tangible
vapor, engendered by an unlimited CON
sumption of coal. Our public buildings of
Portland stone turn dingy and black be-
fore the scaffoldings are removed. The
new :colonnade of the British Museum is
already grievous to behold. In Paris, the
while gypseous freestone de6es time ana
weather, and looks as brilliant and as clear
to-day as it did two hundred years ago.
The original Louvre is scarcely more dis,
colored than the recent additions, and the
gates Of st. Dennis and St. Martin are as
fresh as when they were erected. Let rs
do justice to the beauties of the French
capital. We can show nothing to compete
with the palaces of the Louvre and the
Tuileries, the Place de la Com corde, the
line of the Rue de Rivoli, the quays, the
statues, the fountains, and the extended
semicircle of the Boulev ards, even in the
absence of the trees. But we can produce
good specimens of architecture in our bridg-
es, in Westminster Abbey and St. Iauls,
in Somerset-house, in many churches, and
in the Houses of Parliament, supp posing

cay.-DubIim University Magos3ne.

Reasons for keeping the Teeth Czean.-
At meeting of the Ameaican Academy
December, 1S49, paper read by II. j.
Bowditch, on the animal and vegetable par
asites infesting the teeth, with the effects
of different agents in causing their removal
and destruction. Microscopial examina-
tions had been made of the matter deposit
ed on the gums Of more than forty in
dividdals, selected from all classes of So
ciety, in every variety of bodily condition
and in nearly every case animal and vege-
table parasites in great numbers have been
discovered. Of all the animal parasites
there were three or four species, and of the
vegetable one or two. In fact the only
persons whose mouth were found to be
completely free from them, cleansed their
teeth four times daily, using soap once
One CT two of these individuals also passed
a thread between the teeth to cleanse them
more effectually. In all cases the number
of the parasites was greater in proportion
to the neglect of cleanliness. The effect
of the application of various agents was
| also noticed. Tobacco smoke and iuice
z, did not impair their vitality in the least
The same was also true of the chlorine
tooth wash. ofpulverized bark, of soda, am
monia, and various other popular deter
gents. The application of soap, however,
appeared to destroy them instantly. We
may hence infer that this is the best and
most proper specific for cleansing the
teeth. In all cases where it has been
tried, it receives unqualified commenda-
tien. 1t may also be proper to add, that
none but the purest white soap, free from all
discoleration, should be used.

Fatal AccIpENr.-On Wednesday
evening last, apo6t half past ten o'clock, a
young man named VIM. M. Vinton was
drowned by falling from a plank leading
from the store ship May Flower to the
ship Gold Hunter, alongside Marke. street
Wharf. The night was very dark, and
it appears that the unfortunate young g man
had just parted with some friends in the
cabin of the May Flower, and was return
ing to his lodging on board the other vessel
when he missed his footing and fell into
the water. Every exertion was ri lade te
rescue him, but without avail. Mr.. V
was recently from Philadelphia, and was
about twenty-five years of age.-S4n.

DAMAGE IN THE HARBoR.-We have
been informed Of number of additional
cases of damage to shipping, occasioned by
the gale OF Friday morning; with few
exceptions, they were of no great moment.
During the whole of Friday, extending in
to the night some of those vessels which
had been started from their moorings, con-
tinued to work further injury. Tnci sh ip
St. Lawrence having inflicted considerable
damage upon the Invincible as we'll as
herself, at the turn of the tide last evening
swung into the bark Eliza Tornton, grind
ing off her bowsprit, tearing away her bow
stays, and staving in her cat-heads. The
St, Lawrence was also materially injured
as it was found necessary to cut away &
great portion of her rigging and. .bulwarks
Hex anchors are foul, and she is lying in 6
dangerous position. The brig A. D. Wolf
which was sunk on Friday afternoon, is
still lying at Long Wharf, her hull con.
pletely submerged.-S. T. Herald.

ELECTRICITY on VESSELS AT SEt.-A curl
ouS effect of electricity is mentioned in letter
from Capt. Tessier, of the ship Austria, to her
owners. On her voyage from Chnrleston-ic
Liverpool, the ship encountered heavy storm
of thunder and lightning, which caused such q
commotion among the elements that she fairly
trembled in every timber. The lightning was
heard to hiss as it struck the water near the
ship. The chronometer stopped, and, on taking
it to pieces, the balance spring was found to be
heavily charged with electricity, and bent and
all the rest of the works were more or less in
Iured. CbrOn

The BELLA UNIoN.-The furniture of
this old established gambling saloon on
Washington street, opposite the Plaza, was
sold Friday at public auction, preparatory
to the closing of the house-which is
shortly to be opened as a restaurant. The
closing of this once popular establishment
is another evidence of the decline of gamb-
ling in our city, which it gives US pleasure
to record.-San.

Effects Of a Land Claim -Dscisson.-
When news reached San Jose of the reiec-
ton of the Naryaez title by the Board of
Land Commissioners, on Tuesday last. the
Telegraph says that it produced great exl

instantly on the alert 10 take advantage Of
it by making locations. MIR. Isaac Bran

claim, and MIR. Bassham had lbeconeEthe

Squotter Di1fculty,-A case OF forcible
entry and detainer, generally understood
as "squatter difficulty" took place Sat
urday afternoon on a lot on Mission, be.
tween Green and Vallejo streets. A party
of fifteen or twenty men made descent
upon lot said to have been in the poss-
ession of a widow woman, and in a very
short space of time demolished fence
that the female claimant had erected
around the lot. It was a valiant proceed
ing to say the least, and the parties, if the
