three fourthA lighter than any other.
I'd, No teeth or roots need DO extracted, as the
artificial ones can be inserted over them.
Sd. The roots will be made inoasnsive and

Slain in Battle

Ono tale is told Of the search Of an
Austrian lady for her husband. which. !,
is to be feared, is but one Of many simi.
lar cases. The Austrian report Of the
casualties in the battle Of Koniggratz
fought on the third Of JuIy, returned
MAJOR General Posachcr as severely woun
ded. His vile could obtain no further
information AS to his fate until, on the s IA
OF July, she received a telegram, which
sand that General Porsacher, was living
IN Iragne badly wounded, whittier she
immediately hurried. For ten DAYS she
wandered through the hospitals in
Prague and in all the surrounding villages
seeking in vain for her husband. or for
any certain rews concerning him, and at
the end Of that time, unsuccessful, but in
hopes that he had been taken to some
other hospital, returned to Vienna. No
more Information reached her but on the
tenth Of August she heard ,ba, General
Posacher vas lying ia village near
h"nniggra,z under the care Of Prussisn
surgeon. With fresh hopes she started,
and. after va'niy seeking through the hos
pItals near the battle. field, at last found
an Austrian soldier who told her that on
the evening Of the battle he had seen
some Prussian officers and soldiers bury
an Austrian general, but the man did
not thIpk it was General Posacher.-
frightened by hearing this, but stiIl in
hopes, she went to Hertz, again sought
through the teeming hospitals unsuccess.

REcoNsrRucToN.-We are told by a
friend recently from Hilton Head, that a.,
the late sales Of lands to pay taxes much
magnamimi!y was shown by northern
capitalists towards those whose lands were
so sold. Lauds worth fifteen or twenty
thousand dollars were bidden off by their
owners at one or two hundred dollars
enough to cover the taxes-while north.
ern capitalists stood by with thousands in
their pockets. This appears to have been
done in spirit of conciAation, principally
by those who have come to the south to
make it their future home. The policy
Of such a1sPurse Is rar sighted, and de,
