these deadly effects. But he still found himself
diving by inches. He made up his mind that the
Warden was at the head of q conspiracy to kill
the prisoners by slow destruction. Ii he could
kill him, he might be saved then the matter
would draw attention in the highest quarters, the
public eye would he attracted. Investigation would
follow, relief would come. The prison food would
be changed, and for tho rest of his term no would
have wholesome food, which would enable him, a ~
its close, to come out n sound and live man. WITH
out this, he would be q dead man in II few months
Thus his act, in his eyes, (f this was honesty was
an act Of self.dcfeuce,
In confirmation of his belief Of his statements,
his counsel showed that white bread was given
to the %conyicts occasionally, as II luxury, and was
generally regarded by them whether it was wholly
sweet or not, as an exquisite treat and d~elicacy'
But he gave away his white bread, because he
thought it was more easily dragged, and insisted
ON meat, meat, meat-because drugs could not be
inserted in meat. So with his coffee and other

counsel brought into Court several fellow conVictss,,
alleging that Carter insisted upon having them all
examined, whom they would say, he was sure, tha'
they, also. were wearing away their lives by the
same subtle poison. But the Court would mo-
allow them ia testify on this point.
In this strange story Carter hss persisted to th'

Our TEETH,-It is often asserted that the teeth Of
the present generation are much inferior TO those
Of the generations who have passed US. We wish
that some one Of our many dentists would prove
literary enough to give US a dental history. We
should he astonished, probably, at the dental evils
of other days. Evidences Of the use of false teeth
by the Romans about two thousand years ago,
were found among the ruins of Pumpeii. Three
hundred years ago, Martin Luther complained of
the toothache and 4 German ambassador at the
court of Queen Elizabeth spoke of the weakness
and imperfection Of the English peoples teeth,
which he attributed to their custom of eating q
great deal of sugar. Shakespeare makes one OF
his characters speak Of Soing kept awake by q
raging fang"
Roger Williams was struck BY the imperfect
teeth of the Naragansett Indians, whom toothache
and decayed teeth troubled exceedingly. George
Washington had a set of artificial teeth, for which
he paid five hundred dollars. Napoleon always
had bad teeth, aud was especially troubled with
them at St. Helena. Walter Scott speaks, at a
comparatively early period of life, of dental
troubles, and wishes he had some fresh teeth."-
Such arc a very few facts which come up in our
poor memory concerning a somewhat interesting
matter, We would like to have many more Of
them. For our own part, we have no doubt tina
dentists were in demand at tho court Chedorlomor
1t is often said by careless observers that bad
teeth belongs b. weak constitutions, or are found
attendant upon poor health. Such is a yery grea
mi take as one will discover who looks carefully
about him.
