The dental pulp is the determination of the
nerve in the crown of the tooth. In the moar
teeth it is about the size of small shot. Some
antomists call the whole of the nerve the dental
pulp.
The ivory of the toot THAT part which lies IN

Der Of little pipes, or tubuli, which make that
part Of the tooth porous. This accounts for the
rapid decay of a tooth when the enamel is gone,
The acids of the saliva, heat and cold, penetrate
these numerous cells and cause sudden destruc-
ton of the tooth. Filling the cavity. solid with
some metal is the only cure.
The nerve from one tooth connects with the
nerve TO every tooth in either jaw. This is the
reason why the pain is so often felt on the oppo-
site side from where the cause exists. Pain is
often felt in the upper jaw, when the cause exists
in the lower.
The superior (upper) molar teeth have three
roots. They sometimes mot frequently have
four and even five roots, while the inferior (oW
err have but two.
The bicupids usually have but one root, or two
united, so as to have the appearance of but one.
They sometimes, however, occur with two dis
tinct roots.
The incisors and eye teeth never have more
than one root.-Scientifc american.

Russia demands that Prussia shall close her
ports nearest to Russia against English and
French ships, Prussia is unwilling to grant this
demand.
The negotiations between Russia and Sweden
have not yet terminated, and fears entertain

We have not sought, we do not seek to make

At that period we already encountered dis

OF the governments ofFrance and England who
cndcavorcd to lead the Porte astray, by mis-
representing our intentions. Lastly, at this
moment. England and France throw off the
mask, regard our difference with Turkey as a
mere secondary question. and no longer dis

HeaIth-sanitary Measures.

The Council held special meeting ON Thurs
day evening, for the purpose of adopting mea-
surcs to preserve the present good health OF the
city. They adopted an Ordinance creating
Board of Health, which gives the Board summa-
~ mowers to carry out any sanitary measures
the members may deem proper to adopt. This
is wise and necessary precaution at this time
not that any sickness of an alarming charac-
for is now prevailing among us, but owing to
the fact that in the present filthy condition OF
many of our streets, vacant lots and back yards,
we are liable to be ovcrtaken by such calaml-
ty at any moment
nv thc Ordinance il will be seen that any in
diyidual member of the Board of Health is duly
empowered to enforce any sanitary measures
he NAV deem proper to ensure healthy state
of streets, grounds and atmosphere within the
city limits. We feel authorized to say, that
while the members of the Board will not sub
ject the citizens to any undue or unnecessary
annoyance, the most stringent measures will
be adopted to enforce a thorough system OF
cleaning, and keeping clean, all streets, yards
cellars, out-houscs, &c. More especially
throughout the thickly populated portions Of
the city will these rules be enforced. Citizens
will see by moments reflection, that they
are, collectively and individually, interested
in rendering prompt and efficient aid to the
Board in concentrating these sanitary mca
sures. Proper action and due energy, just at
the present moment, may be the means of saw
ing st. Paul from the horrors of prolonged sick
ness during the warm season.

BoMBARpMENT OF ODEssA.-We find the fol-

The inexcusable firing into the boat of the En-

Dcen more satisfactory if a naval, instead of a
commercial port had been bombarded. still
Odessa having committed the outrage has had
10 suher the penalty. Moreover, Odessa. though
strictly speaking not port of war, is neverthe-
less strongly fortified. All the particulars tha,
have as yet transpired are, that on the 18th
April. twenty-siy sail of the combined fleets ar.
rived before Odessa. On the 18th they bonn.
Darded 1t for one hour. On the 22d the bonn.
nardnent was continued during the whole OF
the aay, and anumber of buildings Of the outer
town were on fire. Four of the batteries were
dismantled and eight Russian and one Austrian

DEDICATED 70 MRS. I. GROCER,
And generally supposed to be written by
THE AUTHOR.
"Declenda est Carfhago."
In Sing Sing when the sun was low,
Not many hundred years ago,
A mighty Shangha.'s awful crow
Broke ON the deep tranquility.
But Sing Sing saw another sight,
when the rooster rose at dead of night,
To exterminate in deadly night
His long-,eg'd Shanghai majesty.
Then rush'd the battles dreadful tde,--
Then flew the feathers far and wide,-
But louder than all else beside
The Shanghai crowcd triuniphantly.
In gown and nlght-cap all arraycd,
The neighborhood awoke disuiayed,
Curs'd the unusual sercnade
In terms OF great severity.
Each sleeper started from his bed,
And wished the noisy rascal 1cad,
And mutterad vengear ce on his head
With deep heartfelt sincerity.
The combat deepcns! On ye brave.
Devote that Shanghai to the grave!
Wave, BOOSTERS, all thy feathers wave.
And crow with all thy dcviltry!
The battles ended,-Now once moro
The Deighbofs sluInber as before,
And thanks arise TO heaven DER
The downfall OF the enemy.
IT'S morn-but scarce the lark's high uoss
O'er hill and vale begins to float,
Ere that internal Shangha.'s throat
Pours forth its dread artillery.
But longer Jet these legs will grow,
II fate lays not the mon,ter low,
And louder yet the wretch will crow
Unless death seals his destiny.
All !-few would mourn nor many weep,
II some dark holes secure retreat,
About Two hundred IA hons deep
Should be that ShanghaPs scpulchro.
