THE OPTICIAN AND THE DENTIST. Two
arts are absolutely necessary TO make old age
tolerable-that Of the optician and that of the
dentist. Take away the old mans spec,aces,
and leave his jaws to be dismantled without re-
pair, and what will life be worth to him? No
wonder those very sensible people We call sava-
ges not having either of these helps, expect
their children to see that they are not lett to
such a. late. When the eyes OF the venerable
warrior can no longer read the literature tatooed
on his enemy's skin-whsn he has lost his
teeth, and can no longer do justice to the piece
de resistance furnished by the last skirmish OF
his tribe-his eldest son kindly dismisses him
by single blow OF bis war-club to that better
region where the good cannioais go and be-
come vegetable feeders, as we charitably trust.
What would the old age of civilized lite be
without convex lenses to help the failing sight;
lsunty eye glasses for public occasions, honest
old strsdliug spectacles for solitude? Or take
that other wrong of advancing years, the Bit
terest insult to the deoaying bodily fabric
which precedes the last disgrace and ignomi-
nv OF our natures" as death is spoken OF by
SIR Thomas Brown. To have the broad,
manly jaws, once Rlittering with ensmelled
ivory, changed TO the miserable likeness OF
turtles, by the gradual absorption and thinning
OF their edges. To meet ones friends with
a face that shuts ap like an sccordeon, to
humble iuarticulate words with organs that
once held the listener captive with speech CT
song; to come back OF necessity to the pulpy
food OF childhood, without its innocent appe,
tite and unquestioning digestion-what fate
to think OF and yet that is what nature has in
store for the old, and for many who are not
old, save that art comes in, and with infinite
skill and almost miraculous success arrests the
progress Of destruction, and repairs and re-
stores the waste that time has already made

THE BOND RoBgERY.-The facts connected
with the robbery of million Of dollars in cash,
bonds, securities, &C., from the Beneficial Sa'
wings Fund, at Twelfth and Chestnut streets
somc tour weeks ago, are still fresh 10 the
minds of the public. Ever since the day OF the
theft the detectives have been hard at work
endeavoring to ferret out the perpetrators OF the
bold transaction and recover the stolen treasure.
They have arrested parties on suspicion, but in
every instance were obliged to release them tor
the want OF testimony. .~-
They have night and day piped cracksmen
and their associates, and have done all 10 their
power to secure the capture ct the noted bur
glars. They have not succeeded In this partlc-
ular, but have recovered $500, 900 OF the stolen
bonds. These, of course, are the registered
bonds. In what way, or from whom the prop
erty was recovered We are unable to say. De-
tectives Taggart and Smith, two OF the best
officers in town, have had charge of the case,
and the fact that the affair has been kept Sc
cret, would lead to the belief that they were IN
hopes OF arresGng the noted craftsman who SO
effectualy accomplished the robbery
The tai value Of the property stolen aggrega'
ted close on to $l,00O, 900. $lS. 900 10 cash, q
diamoud worth $40, ,O00, negotiable bonds to the
value Of $4,000, and the rest In registered
bonds, loans and securities. The cash. diamond
and negotiable bonds, it is believed, will never
be recovered. This the thieves will retain tor
their labor in bringing about the thett.--Fh1t.

SHocco JoNEs.-The New York Times re-
wives the following story Of ShOeco Jones,
very famous fellow, who fourishcd IN the sec

"Apropos Of the Rhode Island laws against
duelling, q correspondent, after reading cur
paragraph OF Monday, would commend to Mr.,
Spraeue and Gen. Burnside-it they are really
'spoiling Tor fight',-an incident which occurred
in their own neishborhood about forty years
ago. A couple Of southern law students at
Harvard, one of whom was Shocco Jones. oi
North Carolina, somewhat noted character
of the time, alter violent college quarrel, re-
naired to Rhode Island to satisfy then honor,
and for which, of course, they were 6oth eI-
pelled from the law school. Jones, The cnai
ienping party, escaping to North Carolina the
Governor of Rhode Island proclained reward
for his arrest and return to answer TO tne
violated laws of the State. On meeting with
This formidable document 10 the newspapers
Shocco wrote forthwith to the Governor to the
effect, first, that the proclamation was irau9
upop its very lace, since bis ExcelleDcy had
promised to pay five hundred dollars Tor MS
arrest while his salary was only four hundred
dollars. and his term of Office limited to .
single wear; and secondly, that he lJones)
nledyed himself never to violate the laws OF
territory of Rhode Island second time, FOR II
he should have occasion to fight again IN New
