Tho Cnre of Teeth.

The Peoples Dental Journa! Of this city IS
near akin to Hall .]oe17aal Of Health in the
plainnese and directness with which 1t discus
ees matters in its special department. The
following from the pen Of: the editor On the
Care Of the Teeth favors the people rather
more than the Dentists, and is certainly
worthy the attention Of. the former:
Is The decay orthe teeth is the result Of -ex-
the lany portion Of their structure. In other
words, the decay Of the teeth is from chcmi-
cal Causes, acting from without, and notffom
any disease from within as many suppose.
With this view, what Would be the most ell.
cient means Of preserving the teeth from de-
liness Of the parts, is the rational means to be
adopted. To accomplish this; a thorough and
careful use of the. tooth brush and and tooth
pick after each meal, or, at .least .'once each
dpy, is Indispensable. No other agents can
be made as efficient The friction of the
under the free edges oftle gums, aud from
the exposed surfaces Of the teeth, whilst the
.toothpick (onc made from common goose
quill ia always the bcst} can be readily insin-
uated between the teeth, to remove any par
ticles Of food remaining, which, If left, will
dccomposc and generate IN acid which, uni-
tes with the lime Of the tooth, and breaks
But, says one, I know person, sfxtyiYcars'
old, who seldom, ifever, brushes his teeth,
and yet they arc perfectly sound. Very like
y. Whnt you say may be true We have seen
similar cases, but whenever they occur, they
arc found in individuals who hare remarkably
firm and well organized teeth, and the secre-
tions Of whose mouths ore normal, not only.
free from destructive agents, but calculated
to neutralize whatever acids may be gcncrn~
ted by the decomposition Of food lodged be-
tween and around the teeth.
1t is often asked at how early age ought tlc
teeth to be. cleansed. You might, with MS
much propricty, ask the physician how soon
the Child ought to be cared for in order!to in
SURGE good health., We answer, as soon as
they are exposed to the action Of external In
flucnccs, which is as seon as they make their
appearance. Ifpnrents would pay attention
to this simple b1t highly Important practice
OF frequent and thorough cleansing Of, their
children's teeth, and would accustom them
toIthe habit Of cleansing them for themselves,
MS soon as they are old enough, as cnrcfully as
they do the habit Of Keeping their face md
hands clean, much unnecessary suffering
would be prevented, aud their bills with the
dentist would bc much smaller"

From tho London Morning po6t, Uth.l
Yesterday forenoon, about hnlf-past ten

ceeding from the direction in which the ami
mails arc kept in their caravan during the In
teryals Of the performances. The body Of q
man, named Thomas Greaves, who has with

duties as new keeper and feeder Of the ami
mails, was found drawn up close to the cagc.
Some Of the employees Immediately seized the
long iron rods,i with species, Of hos at the
end, by which the cage Is cleansed, and rnst.

one Of the. large lions had the mans right
hand in his mouth, whilst another had seized
Min by the tlfck, part at the forearm, and
had drarred the limb through the bars Of the
ccge nearly up to the arm-pit: Having no

boring the animals over tile skulls and eyes,
in order 10 make them let 80 tlelr hold. These
proceedings, ut the ontset, only tended to IN

amidst loud roars, commenced tearing the

tF A correspondent Of the New York
zsmcs gives very genial account of the en-
ploy and status of the army Of Meade In r1r-
gfnia. The soldiers arc comfortably quarter
cd, and pass their time very pleasantly-har
ing an abundance Of amusements, aud some
valuable work. Dances, football, quolts, rid
ing and reviews occupy part of their time ;
while the picket system IS attended to and
perfected under the most rigid discipline.
The re~enlisted vcterans are beginning to
return from their visits home, and are gener-
n1ly well satisfied to get back with the army;
a proof that army life has sort Of fascination
which comes In time to have mere perfect
sway over men than any thing else
"A great many females, the mothers, wives
md sisters Of the officers aud soldiers arc al
lowed to be with them during the winter
term:
Dcscrters, continne to arrive from Lees

age coming to Division, and which guards
a.1inc of about ten miles. Many of them
are Northern men forced into the army
They are In utter ignorance as to what will
be done with tAem by the United States
Government when they arrive; but the I'm
preston in Lees army Is, that they. will be
harshly treated. No copies Of the Amnesty
