From the Journal des Debats. April 2O,l
The National Garde Mobile has been
organized; the whole of the army has
been armed with Chassepots, which have
no reason to dread comparison with the
Prussian needle. gun. The fortresses on
the eastern frontier have been put in a
thorough state of repair; and in order to
dispel any apprehension, it is announced
that this year five camps are to be formed
simultaneously. In short, France is pre-
pared for any contingency, and the power
which assumes aggressive attitude will
be very ill-aIvised.

Troops Concentrating ON the
French Frontier.
[Paris april 2o) Correspondence London
Times.1
In spite of N. Baroche and the Moni-
teur France is not tranquilized. The
Bank reserve increase-this is a symp-
tom of the disquietude. The National
Mobile Guard is being organized with
feverish haste, Marshal Mel refuses to
adopt the recommendations Of the Bud
get Commission for reduction Of army
expenditure, and the Presse ("Journal
de 1'Empire'') speaks of Prussian ar
maments being menace to France
these are the causes of the disquietude.
The Presse says: at is matter Of doubt
to no one that the accumulation of Prus-
sian forces on our frontier is danger for
our Eastern provinces. It keeps up ag-
itation and disquiet in them which our
Government cannot be Indifferent to, and
itjustifes all our remonstrances. Has
the French Government replied to the
Prussian proposition for placing a certain
number Of soldiers on furlough by a
counter proposition for the disarming of
a certain number of strong places, the
reduction Of their garrisons, and dim
unition of their war material? We have
to believe it has done So. fit has, tie
proposition is, the Presse thinks a little
tardy, but it will enable,people to judge
if Prussia is sincere or not.

PROTECTION AGAINST DENTAL oUACKERY.

Alta recent State Convention of Dentists,
held in Utica the profession the necessity OF some
law to regulate the practice Of dental surgery and to
protect the public against the evils OF dental quackery
1t acknowledged that dental surgery Is OF the utmost
Importance to the community at large yet at the same
time It is ft without the least legal mark Of distinction
and without even recognition BY the enactment OF sin
gle law INSCRIPTIONS charlatans are on level with
the skfu operator The consequence is that the public
often imposed upon and by the malpractice OF the
pretenders the masters in the art OF dentistry looked
upon with suspicion. 1t y suggested that minimum
follower OF dentistry should devote himself TO the study
OF the science In fact that dentist should be allowed
TO practice unless he could show q diploma (simlar 20
those now pertaining 20 the medical professon OF his
Skill and the necessary qualifications for the practice OF
the art. To make Q good dentist fair knowledge OF
medicine and surgery Ia required and 10 proposed that
such course Of probation shoud be required by law.
Blowing the Importance of such law Il IL estimated that
over 100000 expended In this State alone for dental
operations Before the Convention adjourned Il was ~
soved that petition should be drawn ND. asking the
Legislature 10 pAss such law

An exchange, referring to the fact
OF a doctor in Heidelberg and two of
his assistants having died of Group. in
consequence OF sucking the blood
flowing during successful operation
of trocheotomy. stated that the
disease is always durable by q yery
simple remedy. even when the patient
is on the verge of suffocation. This
consists, frat, in applying water to
the throat by means of a sponge or
soft cloth, 80 hot as to be very pain
full to the hand of the operator, in
stant relief being 1suaE afforded.
After this has been continued for
fifteen or thirty minutes, q poultice
of linseed meal, rolled up in a cloth,
is to be applied while very hot, and
left on for some time. The remedies
are to be repeated should the attack
return; but the writer states that,
after long experience, he has never
known them to fail.

On last Friday night, the gin house
of Capt. j. Fl. Mcknight, con tanning
his crop of cotton for 1867, was de-
stroyed by fire. The cause of the fire
is attributed to the agency of one or

NEWS FROM HAVANA. Affairs. it
appears, have become very unsettled
in Cuba, and rising of the negroes
is constantly expected. Cholera-or,
as they call it, cholerine-which hns
been raging of late, is again said to
be on the decrease. The tax-gather-
ers are meeting with serious resist
ance in the performance of their
duties. Burglaries of the most dar-
ing and atrocious kind are being per-
petrated under the noses of the police.

that the hope becomes general that
Cuba, by purchase or otherwise, will
soon be annexed to the United States.
