TEETH.
GAYosA, Oct. IL, 1859.

Persons with decayed teeth should never
drink anything too hot or too cold, as either
will attack the nerve and bring on toothache
In having deoayed teeth stopped, take care
that all decayed parts are previously clean
ed out. Observe, also, that the stopping
used is not of mercurial preparation.
In cleaning the teeth, never use any
gritty substacne, as tending to destroy the
enamel coating of the teeth.
To prevent the formation of tartar, rub
the teeth on going to bed, and also the first
thing in the morning. Pay particular attenz
tion to the stomach, and when you find the
tongue furred, take some proper medicine
Exposure to cold is the most frequent
causes of rheumatism in the face, and
toothache therefore, avoid, when possible,
being out in the damp air, or if travelling,
take necessary precaution of protection in
this respect.
When you have the toothacho, do not be
persuaded TO try creosote; it gives tempora-
ry relief to the carious tooth at the expense
of destroying the sound members,
In using lamentations, take care your
face is not exposed to draught of cold air,
the parts being more sensitive of outward
influence at that time
When determined on having tooth out,
consider whether it is worth stopping for af-
ter all, natural tooth is best. Never have
a tooth out during inflammation of the gums;
and also take care after extraction, to keep
out the cold air. More assesses occur from
neglect of this than any other cause,
The worst of all bad habits is picking the
teeth with pin, and nothing so predisposng
to toothache. Ifsuch habit must be indulg,
ed in use quill. Aud, lastly, be it observ.
ed that the future perfection of the teeth de-
pends upon the attention bestowed upon
them in youth. Parents cannot be too
strongly impressed with the Importance of
this advice; nor can youth be too frequently
reminded of any carelessness or neglect to
themselves.

GREENS CARMINATIVE SYRUP,


OR, DIARRHEA MIXTURE
A speedy, safe and efsctual remedy for d.
arrhoa, Dysentery, Cholera Intantum, or
Summer Complaint Of Children, Cholera
Morbus, and any, or all, Irregularities Of
tie BoweIs
Travellers should always have a supply of this
Syrup with them, to counteract the arrangement
of the Bowels consequent on using change of
Water
Every Family should keep this Syrup, and par
ticularly in the summer time. when Fruits are
abundant, and the bowels of Children frequently
become deranged 1t will be found etficacous in
restoring them to their usual healthy action
Hundreds of certificates might be obtained,
establishing the value of this remedy in diseases
of the bowels, one only of which we will insert
here. Read the following from O. A. Luckett,
ESQ.,, an eminent Lawyer, and highly respectable
citizen of Canton, Miss.
"This certifies that have used Green's Car
minative or Diarrhea Mixture in my family for
several years with perfect success and confidently
recommend it to the public, as the best remedy !
know of, for Diarrh@l and similar diseases of the
Bowels. 1t is especially adapted to the summer
complaints Of children, who take it readily, and
are fond Of il. O. A. LUCKETT.

THREE PERSONS KILLED IN A DUEL, IN
CUBA BY ONE MANA major of the rural
militia, 65 years old, near Havana, Cuba,
recently fought duel with swords, and
killed his adversary, young man, The
second then took up the quarrel, and he toe
was killed by thrust from the majors
sword; cousin of the principal next step
ped forward, and was also killed; lastly, a
friend of all tie others felt bound to avenge
their deaths, but, upon receiving rather
severe wound, declared himself satisfied
The victorious duelst, in full uniform, went
to Havana and presented himself to the
Captain General, who, without depriving
him of his sword, pointed out room fol-
him to occupy, and placed a "gqard Of
honor" at the door. 1t is believed he will
be acquitted by the military court before
which he is to be tried.

THE CHARLESTON CONVENTION. - Basis
of Representation. 1t seems to be taken for
granted that the basis of representation in
the next National Convention Of the Democ-
racy will be fixed by the National Oonven>
tion which meets in Washington on the Tth
December, The same as that Of the Oincin-
natl Convention of 1856, that is to say, at
two delegates from each Congressional Dis,
trict, besides two for each United States
Senator, or four from each State "at large"
Thus Mississippi, which has five Representa-,
tives and two Senators, would be entitled to
send ten delegates and four delegates at large,
making fourteen IN all, although these four
teen in the Charleston Convention will be
entitled to cast only seven votes.

Why need you be so shy

You cannot tell what they may think,
They've said strange things before
And if you wish to talk awhile,
Come in, and shut the door
Nay, do not say "No thank you, Jane, "
