illustrative insance:-
Some eighteen months ago Miss Ward OF
one Of our southern states was married to Polish
count, with very unpronounccable name. After
residing with her three weeks he took French leave
one fine morning, taking with him his wife's jewels.
He left letter behind him, stating that the mar
riagc was invalid, from the fact that no Russian
subject could be legally married except by the Greek
service. OF course the lady was in great conster-

was there compelled TO stand up before the altar

EXTENSIVE DENTAL EsTABLIsHMENT.-Few of
our daily readers have any idea of the extent Of
this business, which of late years has assumed so
much Importance. Being among those who had
little occasion for the services of dentist we have
no conception Of the number Of patients daily
treated, until q few days since, when we paid Wis.,
it to the rooms of Drs. Cummings & flagg, rs
fremont street, and were well paid for the time
spent there. Many interesting facts were commu-
nicated to us, and many Of the finest specimens of
art shown us, which we verify believe challenge
comparison in this or any other country. The in
crcasing demand for dental science has engaged
the attention and study of some of the most emf
nent scientific men in this country and these
achievements have been fully adequate to the wants
of the community. The present treatment, CON-
pared with that Of twenty years ago, abundanty
shows that the improvements in this department Of
science have been fully equal to the progress in
other branches Of skill.
Drs. Cummings & Flagg were among the first
to make speciality of dentistry, md they have
for many years, devoted their entire attention and
constant study to place themselves at the head o.
their profession. Their business has increased
from small beginnings, and by years Of patient in.
dustry, until now they have the most extensive cs
Enlistment in this country. Every attention |,
paid to the comfort and convenience Of patients
Five operating rooms are in daily use, by which
liberal arrangement persons are always treated ai
privately rs at home, and are spared the unpleas
antness Of undergoing operations in the prescnc
of strangers.
| By these means they have met with the mos
complete success. Their beautiful work has to-
frequently been the subject Of premiums and diplo
mas from Fairs and Institutes, in this and othe
cities, to need concentrations from u.s. They ex
hibit specimens at their rooms, of the various style
and most approved methods, which are triumph
Of art and need only TO be seen to be appreciated

PARTISAN HISTORY.

A king of France, after battle in which
bedside, to hear what had occurred after he
had left the field; and as no two could
agree in any one,statement, the king, struck
with the difficulty, exclaimed: What,
then, is history?'' 'Give me my liar"
said Charles V, when he called for q vol
ume Of history; and certainly. no one can
attentively examine any one important
period of our annals without remarking
that almost every incident admits of two
handles. almost every character of two in
terpretations also, that by a judicious
packing of facts, the historian may make
his picture assume nearly what form he
pleases, without any direct violation of
truth.
But history does TEEN with falsehoods
and perversions. Take two instances in
the history of England, as now taught in
our schools. We are positively told that
Joan of Arc was burned by the English at
Rouen in 1431 when it has been ineontro-
vertibly established by ancient archieves of
that city, that on the LIST of August, l438,
the council of the city of Rouen made her
a gift of 30 livres, for services rendered
by her at the siege of the said city. So
that the burning of Joan is 3 myth, invent
ed by the French to blacken the English
character, and transferred to our history
as a fact by those authors who too credul-
ously relied on French chroniclers.
Again, Richard III has been held UP to
universal execration as a crooked-back
monster whereas Stow, who was born for
ty years after Richards death. and had
conversed with many who had seen the
king, declares ''that he could find no such
deformity in King Richard III as his his
torians commonly relate ; on the contrary.
he was of bodily shape comely enough,
only low of STATURE In fact, all modern
research have proved that Richard was
neither that deformed person nor that mon
ster of cruelty and impiety which he has
been represented by our so-called historians.
No character in English history has been
more misrepresented and could the shade
of the last Plantagenet rise from its grave,
it would blush to find the name of Richard
III in the same book as those of the Stuarts
and George ". But SUCCESS often laws
the foundation of good reputation with
posterity.

ABOUT GRAssHoPPERs.-The Minnesota
grasshoppers are not only destroying the
crops, but are literally eating the people
"out of house and home" The st. An
thony Express says:
every field from Itasca to Monticello
was swept as with the bosom of destruc-
ton; on large cultivated fields scarce a
blade being left to indicate that a flourish
ing crop had, short time since, been grow
ing. On few pieces of wheat, short stubs
of the stalks were left, but each with from
one to ten grasshoppers on it, finishing
the remnants as rapidly as their digestive
organs would permit. But on the greater
part of the fields, and all indeed in the
vicinity of Monticello, although the crops
came up and grew beautifully for short
time, not single Indication of growing
grain ofa any kind whatever can be discover
ed. Wheat oats, corn, and potatoes, gar
dens-all have shared the same fate, and be-
come food for the destroyer. Nay. more,
the Unsuitable gormandizers, not satisfied
with taking the crops, forced their way into
the pariors and sitting rooms, and commence
ed an indiscriminate onslaught on curtains,
sofa cushions, clothing, carpets, &c, and
unless Immediately removed, will, in a short
time, ruin whatever of this nature comes in
the way"

PEABoDY's PROLIFIC CORN
From the Columbus fGa.l Sun.

From the Columbus GG.J Sun.
Having heard much of this corn last fall,
and seen some stalks exhibited in this place,
curiosity led US to pay Mr.. Peabody q
visit, with view of seeing its appearance
in the field at its most interesting state,
that of silk and tassel. Mr.. Peabody has
in cultivation some fifty to sixty acres of
sandy pine land, in this corn. Of course
the land is highly MANFRED and well Guilt
waited, as without it. this year, it could
scarcely produce twenty bushels to the
acre. We were over the whole of hiseorn,
and must say we never saw its equal in pro-
ductiveness. The yields from two to seven
ears to the stalk. We saw few stalks on
a spot made rich by being near an old
house, that were cared from the ground to
within about thirty inches of the tassel;
they resembled trees of corn. The pros
pect presented, of the whole crop, we are
convinced, is no test of what could be pro-
duced on the same land with proper seasons.
The crop had gone Through five weeks
drought in its most critical period, SO much
so that the four bottom blades of the fodder
on each stalk, on most of it, had fired and
dried. The crop was relieved about five
days previous to OH visit, by a moderate
rain, and two days previous by good
season, which was accompanied by wind
that FRUSTRATED much of the most heavy
ladened.
Our opinion is, that the yield from the
land in cultivation will be from seventy to
ninety bushels to the acre. With the or
binary corn, and the usual cultivation, the
same land, we are satisfied from COMPARE
sons, would not yield, this year an average
of eight bushels to the acre. If such re-
suits can oe produced on the poor pine
lands, what might not be done on the RICH
mountain lands of North Carolina, and the
Tennessee Valley, to say nothing of the
productive lands of Tennessee and Ken
lucky, and the great West! From the
spectacle presented, we are satisfied the
yield on good lands, from Mr.. P.'s variety,
must be double, if not three times that of
the common variety. This, in these times
of corn scarcity, is certainly a matter over
which farmers should ponder. If two
bushels can be produced on the same land,
and with the same labor that now produces
one, it is important that every planter should
take steps to supplant the common corn
with the Peabody variety.
