TIE TAIL wAGs THE nOG.

There is a couundrum Of the Lord Dun-
dreary style Of wit Why does dog wag
his tail ?" The answer is: " Because the
dog y bigger than the tail, for, il il we're
no' 30, the tail would wag the dog" This
was, until lately, mere supposition, al
though it was generally accredited as a
fact, because no such combination Of dog
and tail, as the reverse implies had been
found 10 furnish proof 10 the contrary. We
have now living example which iHstihes
the wisdom Of the oonundrum. Ii is 10 be
found in the Grant Rhd COlfsx nomination
aud the wagging business is faithfully illus
trated in Grants and Colfax's letters Oi
acceptance. Supposing Grant 20 represent
the body aud brain Of the animal, and Col.
fax the animals tail, we have tail bigger
than the dog. The trull. Of the theory has

brated conundrum IL hencefOrh valueles',

TmE NEGRO RIOTS.

Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Commercial,
WAsHINGr0N. Jane 3.-The city has
been considerably excited, to-day, over the
bloodshed aud riots of last night, mostly
participated in, according to the evening
papers Of both parties, by the negroes re-
joicing over the mayoralty election. Large
crowds Of oolored men roamed indiscrimin-
ately, ali night, over the city, ransacking
restaurants, drug stores and shoe stores,
assaulting, beating, and in one instance
killing a white man on Pennsylvania
avenue. II seems that the negroes were
mostly armed, and went together IN bands
Of two or three hundred, 90 such an extent
that the military authorities are 10 pro-
hibit. IN the future, proeessions Of armed
men who are not soldiers. ~fs
The resnltof last nights rioting may be
summed up a. folloWs: One white man
killed, seven severely wOunded-one ia
tally; three drug stores assaulted and
partially ransacked two restaurants
cleaned out, and four private residences
stoned until their blinds and Windows
we're broken. Many of the houses and
restaurants we're closed up for safety.
None Of the evening papers Of either party
show that in any circumstance were coiored
men injured, and it does not appear that
white men were the aggressars 10 but one
case. Some trace the source Of the troubles
to very virulent speech made 10 the ne
gToes last night by F0rney..e

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP

cal Negro RiOt-The Radical Robes
pire-The House radicals Disguised.


| Special to the Louisville Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 4--The feeling
growing eslt OF ths late murders and other
outrages to which the negroes of the city
were instigated by white men on the night
of The election, is still unabated. This
feeling is intense, especially against the
infamous Radical demagogues who ha-
rangued the negroes in the most incendi-
airy manner, and thus instigated them to
the murder of innocent men, the cleaning
out of stores and the stoning of the houses
of unofending citizens. These negroes
were led to believe by Forney and others
that they we're the real masters of the city
and had right to control everything
They not only committed the deeds of
blood and other acts of violence to which
have referred, but they served notices
| upon prominent Conservatives to leave
the city without delay, and the office of the
National LntetiigeRceT escaped a mobbing
by the merest chance. Forney's paper, the
Chronicle, attempts TO gloss over the hellish
deeds of the mob he called into existence,
but there is blood upon his hands which
seas of printers ink cannot blot out. The
Radicals resorted to every species of fraud

failed, they did not hesitate to avenge
themselves by turning the brutal negroes

mission of murder and plunder. Such is
Radicalism. 1t has never been anything
it can never be anything else.
When Forney handed in his resignation
as Secretary of the Senate, for the purpose
of having a free swing at the seYen Senators
who voted for the aeqlittal of the Presi.
dent, he did it with no expectation that he
would lose the position. But fortunately
for the Senate, which has too long been dis
graced by his connection with it, his resig-
nation was accepted, aud he must fall back
for his subsistence upon his stealings aud
his two papers, both daily" The election

TIE TEETH.


A writer in HaPer's Magazine for June
makes the following suggestions a.a
Rousseau said that no woman with fine
teeth could be ugly. Any female mouth
almost, with good set Of ivories, is kiss
able. The too early loss of the first teeth
has an unfayorable Influence upon the
beauty and duration of the second. The
youngest children should accordingly be
made TO take care of them. All that is
necessary is to brush them several times a
day with little ordinary soap or magne-
sia and water Grown people should clean
their teeth at least five times in the course
of twenty. four hours, on rising in the
morning, and going to bed at night, and
after each meal A brush as hard as can
be borne without pain should be used, and
the best of all applications is pure soap
and water, always lukewarm. l -aa
After eating, the particles OF food shOuld
be carefully removed from the teeth by
means of toothpiek of quill or wood,
but never of metal, and by a thread passed
now and again between the teeth Tooth
powders Of all kinds are injurious both TO
the enamel and the gums, and if employed
every particle of them should be removed
from the month by careful rinsing. The
habit which some women have OF
using a bit of lemon, though it may whiien
the teeth and give temporary frmRess and
color TO the gums, is fatal 10 tho enamel, az
are all acids. No one, young or old, should
turn their jaws into nut-erackers; and il is
dangerous even for women to bite of, as
they often do, the ends of the thread in
sewing. 1t is not safe to bring very hot
food or drink, especially if immediately
followed by anything cold, in contact with
the teeth. r t..
Wholesome gums are more -esseRtial,
even, than the teeth to the beauty of the
mouth. They Should be of a firm texture
and lively red color, and well spread over
the base Of each tooth, but they are often
pale or livid, shrunken, fleshless and some
times even liberated. The excessive use
of sugar and candies does great mischief
1t is not only the bad effect Of the acids
produced by their decomposition, but the
grittiness Of these substances which wears
away the gum, bares the tooth and spoils
the mouth This is the chief dangel OF the
use Of tooth powders. Livid gums will
be benefited BY occasional, but not too fre-
quent, hard rubbing and pricking with a
toothpick until they bleed slightly.
