Pulling Teeth in Old Times.

The primitive method of abstracting
teeth in Scranton is thus described:
One end of hemp string was fastened
upon the aching member, while the other,
securely tied around a bullet purposely
notched, was put in the barrel of an old
flint lock musket, loaded with an extra
charge of powder. When all was ready,
the desperate operator caught hold of the
gun, and "let drive" Ont flew the tooth
and away bounded the musket several feet.
This mode of abstracting teeth became the
chosen and only mode practiced in this
region for many years.
"Well, doctor, huw much do you AK
for the job? Guy! but you do it quick,
though" said chap suffering with tooth
ache.
"AIy terms are one dollarl' answered
the dentist.
"a dollar for half minit'S work.
One dollar-thunder! Why a doctor
down tour place, drawed tooth for me
two years ago, and it took him two hours
He dragged me all around the room and
lost his grip half dozen times. / never
seed such hard work-and he only charge,
me twenty-five cents. "A dollar 70 r min
it's work! Won must be jokin."

sorgho or Chincae Sugar Cane.

The Paris correspondent of the Jour
nal of Commerce says that the Sorgho or
Chinese Sugar Cane, which has attracted
SO much attention, formed prominent
feature in the late annual agricultural cx
hibitions of France. This plant is extern
sivcly and successfully cultivated in the
south of France, and in Algeria; and as an
evidence OF the extent and variety of the
application of its material, we may men
ton that at the late exhibition at Avignon,
Z. Prieur exhibited group of samples IL
Illustrative of the metamorphoses to which
he has subjected it. Nothing could be
more curious than the succession of trans
formations there shown. In one corner
could be seen the sorgho in stalk, such as
it is when cut; little further were its fl
bres converted into thread, in skein; then a
piece of linnen woven from the thread I;
then handsome cloak, bordered with furs,
which NJ. Prieur designs for the Prince
Imperial.
The most curious and complete array Of
the products of the sorgho, however. at
the same exhibition was that of DR.. Sicard,
of Marseilles. With the pith he has
manufactured excellent sugar, which will
favorably compare with any other whatev
er. BY grinding the seed he has obtained
-four and fecula, of which he has made
bread and chocolate, which the many tas-
ters have found palpablc. Re extracts.
moreover, from the plant, an abundance Of
alcohol of superior quality, and besides a
most agreeable wine, containing in large
quantity all the tonic and other salutary
elements of the juice OF the grape In adj
dition, he makes paper out of it, of which
he showed evidence in superior samples;
by chemical agents, he gets from it gam
boge, ginseng, carbon; skeins of cotton,
wool and thread, dyed with sorgho, in
those delicate and varying shades which
hitherto have been found only in the stufis
and articles coming directly from China
We should add that the new derivations
(as we may style them) from the cane are
complete, and can be delivered to the trade
and industry at determinate prices.
This list of utilities beats the cocoa nut
tree hollow. To get liquor. sugar, thread
paint, bread and chocolate out of one
plant is ahead of anything yet.

Marriage Ceremony.

An old Dutch farmer just arrived at the
dignity of Justice OF the Peace, had his
first case of marriage; he did il up in this
way: He said, first TO the man. "VeIl,
you wants to be marrit, do you? yelb you
loves dis woman SO good as any woman
you have ever SEEM" "Yes," answered
the man. Then to the woman: "Vell.
do you love dis man so better as any man
you have ever SEEM She hesitated a lit
tie. and he repcatetl ''Vell, veil, do you
like him so veil as to be his wife?' "Yes,
yes. ;" she answered. '.Vell, datish all any
reasonable msn gould ex pect< So 5Qfan
msrrit; pronounce yeu man and wites =
The man asked the Justies what was te
pay. "Nothing at-all; yos are welcome
to il, if it viii 90 you anygood. :,

This striking aphorism was enunciated
by distinguished Trinity County (Cali-
formal politician, who upon returning
from serving his constituents in the leSis-
lative halls of Sacramento, was greeted
with serenade. upon which memorable
occasion he is reported to have made the
following speech:

Too Late for Church.

An old negro in Connecticut, who had
always been very constant in attending
church, and prided himself furthermore in
being the first there, happened to be de-
tanned far beyond the usual hour one morn
ing.
John" said Cuffee, as he stood card

kindness to tell me what o'clock him be?"

siderable late"
Use wouldn't be exposed if 'twar half
an hour top o'dat," returned Cufee, and
hurried to church as fast as his handy legs
would carry him. He entered toward the
end of the sermon, just as the parson was
reiterating the text for the last time
"Thc last shall be first, and the first
shall be last" Cuffec turned upon his
heel and went ont examining

New Uses of Cotton--WaIIs to be Built

IN recent number of the Charleston
Courier there is curious and interesting
communication touching certain new uses
to which cotton may be applied. 1t seems
that gentleman of South Carolina, by the
name of Legare, has been for many years
engaged in experimenting upon the fibres
of cotton wool, with a view of COM
pressing them into permanently solid
form.
He first succeeded so. far as to create a
compact substance, which was unelastic,
plastic. under the fingers. and hard as
woo1.z He called it cotton wood, and
cd various articles of furniture to be
fa6zioned from the novel material, for his
own use. One Of these were exhibited
at the South Carolina Institute. and OBJ
tanned the gold medal. He noxt went one
etep further, and obtained plastic sub
stance, fire and water proof, and possess

From this it was but step TO the con-

moulding and relief. So that if the state

CHAPTER II.

The whang doodle was placed upon the

take glance at the political state of Amer
lea at the date orr story opens. We were
involved IN q war with Mexico and Gen.
Scott was carrying our victorious flag
thro' the hall of Monte-loosers. Gen.
Washington, commanding the home army,
had formed junction with Christopher
Columbus at Nauvoo and defeated the com
bined forces Of England, France and Hin
doostan IN sanguinary retreat on Bung-
towns heights. John c. Fremont, Presi-
dent of the United States. hai appointed
James Buchanan Governor of Cape Cod;
and Napoleon Bonapart, as tayor Of Bun
ker Hill. assisted by Gen. Barney O'Twig
ser, Of Ireland, was preparing for de-
scent upon the tories of Cerro Gordo,
whilst DR.. Jayne, L. 5. Surgeon. was
constructing strong fort at Cairo. armed
with chain pump and one hundred of his
Carminative Balsam
Under these tremendous circumstances
no wonder the men and women Of the 19tl
century were highly intellectual, and gen
orally speaking, born when they were
young. Turn we again to our story.

CHAPTER III.

The whang- doodle was placed upon the
hew-gag. Dismay and terror sat upon
the countenance of the nobility. Lord
De Monzo involuntarily clutched Prince
Blwhusky's coat-tail, and the Countess of
Fizfum disappeared Historically within her
hoops, whilst the bold Count de Scratch
hitherto the bravest of the brave, threw
himself at the the foot of the throne and
elevated one leg as a signal of distress
But the mighty Gengulphus was unmoved.
