Louis Democrat, that tue expenses Of that
State, in the war'with Kansas, were 81, ,5OO,-
900. a leading merchant Of Independence
stated, recently that he could not have coniin-
ued in business six months longer. The de-
mands of the leaders of military companies
were more imperious and more dangerous to
be refused THAI those ofany despot in Europe.
A captain would come in and demand bar
rel Of fsngar, quantity OF meat, or clothipg
or anything which one might have. If it was
efused the person was stigmatlzed as an alb

A Hist ABOUT PorAro TOPs.--A New

itself exhausts the soil but very little, as lie
elements are derived mainly from the atmos-
phere, but the potato e1hausts more than any
other one vegetable, as its elements are de-
rivedsmore from the soil. Potato tops, then
should all be carefully buried where they are
dug. If the practice were universally follow
ed, no crop would exhaust the soil less; Let
the farmers try the experiment, and write the
result for the benefit of others.

Journal of Commerce reafirms its statement of
the invention of wonderful machine for ami
hilating armies, ships, &c. 1t says:
1--WE are not at liberty to give particulars, but
so much as this we viii say, viz, that there is
such machine as was alluded to (by cores
pondcnt in our paper; and further, that we
have seen testimonials, bearing signatures of
some of the most distinguished military and ma
val officers of this country and Europe, certify.
ing to its terribly destructive power. We did
not publish the statement until we had asked
and obtained an interview with the writer, and
ascertained that there was no humbug about the
matter. Of course we do not undertake to say
that the very sanguine anticipations of the in
yentor, "a Yankee, now in Europe,) and his
agents as to the success of the invention, both
pecuniarly, and otherwise, will be realized; OF
that they will not be. Time will settle tina,

OrR TEErH.--Itis often asserted that the teeth
OF the present generation are much inferior Il
those OF the generations who have passed u.s.
We wish that some one OF the many dentist.
would prove literary enough to give US denta
history. We should be astonished, probably, a,
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 Pompeii. Three hundred years ago, Martin
Luther complained of the tooth.ache: and a
German ambassador at the court of Queen Eliz-
abeth spoke of the weakness and imperfection
OF the English peoples teeth, which he attribut-
ed to their custom of eating q great deal OF SUI
gar Shakespeare makes one Of his characters
speak of being kept awake by a '.raging fang"
Roger Williams was struck by the imperfect
teeth of the Naragansett Indians, whom tooth
ache aud decayed teeth troubled exceedingly.
George Washington had set of artificial teeth,
for which he paid five hundred dollsrs. Napol-
con always had bad teeth, and was especially
troubled with them at st. Helena. Walter Scott
speaks at comparatively early period of life, of
dental troubles, and wishes he had some 'fresh
teeth" Sach are a very few facts which come
up in our poor memory concerning somewhat
interesting matter. We would like to have
many more ofthem. For our own part, we have
no doubt that dentists were in demand at the
court of Chedorlaomor.
1t is often said by careless observers that bad
teeth belong to weak constitutions, or are found
attendant upon poor health. Such is very
great mistake as one will discover who looks
carefully about him.
