BEWARE OF IMPOSITION.

fI'iE undersigned, proprietors of hotels in Wash
i ington, advise all persons visiting said city not
to deliver their checks to the baggage master who
passes through the cars between Baltimore and
Washington, but to retain them until their arriva
at the Washington depot, where they will find tt.
porters of the hotels who will take charge Of theil
checks and conduct them to the hotel coach. By
pursuing this course they will avoid double tai
on their pockets by having themselves and thei
bag gage conveyed for the same fees are charged
by this monopolizing agent for the baggage alone
and they will ut the same time avoid the yexatisns
delays and dissppointments which constantly occul
from one individual having charge Of the baggage
for the whole city.

q Broad street, Philadelphia, is abou
fifteen miles long, and is one of the grand

- All that Nature has prescribed
must be good; and as death is natural to
Us, 1t IS absurdity to fear it. Fear loses
its purpose when we are sure it cannot
preserve us, and we should draw reso-
luton to meet it, from the impossibility

n fact Is very ordinary crockery at best.
= The ivory of the tooth-that part
which lies under the enamel-is composed
Of an immense number of little pipes,
which makes that part of the tooth po-
rous. This accounts for the rapid decay
of the teeth when the ensmels gone. The
acids ofthe saliva, heat and cold, penetrate
these numerous cells and cause sudden
destruction OF the tooth. Filling the
cavity solid with some metal, is therefore
the only cure.
q Mr. keenan, proposes substitute,
good and cheap, for brick, to be manu-.
factured as follows: Take metal mould,
FIRST filed with heated gravel, and then
pour melted glass into it, and let it cool
gradually. He thinks each mould would
not require more glass than is contained
N a common black bottle, which is sold
for one cent, and the blowing of which
must cost half that sum. Should this
IL "a of Mr.. X. s ever be carried out, the
old aphorism about persons who live in
glass houses, may possibly have more
than mere figurative significance.
