TEE PEOPLES DENTAL JOURNAL: Edited
byW. y. AILronT. D. p. s., and s. 7. CRE1sH-
Published by Airport & Creighton, Dentists. No,
81 Warrington Street, Chicago.
We have received copy Of the July No. of
the above quarterly, started in this city in
January last, for the purpose of educating
the public mind in regard to the importance
Of the teeth, and how to take proper care Of
them. We acknowledge to little scepticlsm
as to the success Of the enterprise when the
first number appeared, for We did not see how
much could be written about the teeth, which
would not be dry and uninteresting to the
general reader.
We read the first number with grert deal
Of interest, but doubted whether another as
good would be published When, however,
the second number came to hand, it proved
more interesting than the first; aud We no.
tieed it accordingly, and now, having read the
third number, We find 1t quite equal to tho
second II everybody woald read these jour
uals, and heed their teachings, they would
have better teeth than they now hare, and
save at least one-half Of their dentist bills.
Every head Of q family shonld subscribe for
it, md instead Of taking It home and throw
irg it aside, or leaving 1t at his Office or
counting room, he should either sec that his
family read 1t, or spend an eyeningin reading
it to them himself. The editing and publish
Ing Of journal filed with go much interest
ing matter, must be attended with great
deal Of trouble, but We apprehend that It
would bea greater undertaking. to educate the
people to read it.
The editors will pcrhaps allow us to make
one suggestion, which is, to hereafter pub
likh table Of contents with each number, SO
the reader can see what arc the subjects of
the articles contained in It, without looking
the paper through, Every one looks at the
table Of contents before opening magazine.
Tho Journal has. zow regular place with the
newsmen, and may.b found ut their counters.
EANETTE AND HER LOVERS. by Talbot
wsn1s. fs% S1;,as ao5k; James g. Gregory Chi
This is very clever story Of the first French
Revolution, and reads SO like French COM
position that We can hardly believe 1t is not q
translation. Be that us 1t may, however, 1t Is
good to read, and, unlike most French sto-
ries, a fine moral tone runs through It. It is
cheap, thirty cent book, and IS intended for
railroad reading, md half hours.
AN HISTORICAL RESEARCH RESPECTING
THE OPINIONS OF TIE FOUNDERS OF The
nERgpl5c nI5g oM @ NEGRoES, EoE g. AZ AZ SLAVES. As
the Maesuchusetts Historical Society by George
Live1morc. Third Edition. Boston, 4 WILLIAMS
& Co.: Chicago, S. c. Griggs & Co.
This is IN admirable historic monograph,
and exhausts the subject Of which 1t treass.
The negro rises to more importance us clti~
zen, and soldier, than his best friends gayc
him credit for, who were ignorant Of his his
tory us here set down. It Is the military part
Of this history which will be read Just now
with most interest-and this is graphically
traced from Crispus Attucks, the leader, and
victim In the attack on tho British troops,
which ended or issued, in the massacre Of the
citizens of Bostun-down to tho recognition
By Virginia of1ke freedom Of such slaves as
had fought in tic revolutionary war. Moth
ing can be more clearly demonstrated than
the courage, and yalor, and faithful services
Of the negro during the whole Of that war;
aud it is wonderful that the prejudice against
him, because God made him with q black'
skin, should have kept him so long from rem.
de17ng a similar service, and displaying siml-
lar qualities, for us in the present rebellion.
1t is piece OF historical justice done to
wronged, and deeply injured race.
