At the New England Church in
Brooklyn, E. D., last evening Miss Anna
E. Dickinson spent 21-4 hours in de-
livering her new lecture upon Joan of
Arc" before numerous and profoundly
attentive audience. Among the names,
said she, which time shall consign to
eternity, there is none that is more alb
solutely stamped with letters of gold
than that of Joan of Arc, who ended
strife and won victory for the France
that had brought untold misery upon
itself by illegally excluding women
from the throne. Joan was born in DOM
remy, little village of Lorraine, which
then, as now, was swept by contending
armies. Her father was poor but inde-
pendent farmer, whose sh ep she tended.
Her mother was good pious woman,
who taught Jenny needle-work. So
good a horse-woman was the future
heroine that she often carried away the
prize at the village tournaments. Friend
and foe testify that she was gentle and
benevolent. She would take the bread
and the cup from her own lips to give to
beggar at the door. She was devoted
to religious exercises, and might often
be found PROSTATE before affairs and
shrines. Her priest said she was the only
one in the village who never missed
confession, and the only one who never
had anything to confess. She was so
fond of bells that she gaze the ringer
of her slender store to prolong his chimes.
While her companions played, she wan
dered under the free sky in silent medi-
tation, and while they laughed she pray
ed.
From her fathers house she could see
the great forests of the Vosges, through
which she doubtless often stray
ed and gathered vague inspiration from
the solemn undertone of the trees.
Doremy stood at the crossing of two
great roads, where troops of travellers
passed, and the tales they told of France
grew sadder as the years passed by. This
girl was intensely loyal. Her patriotism
was part of her religion. See her little
face as she listens to these tales, and
mark the shadow ofan awful hope gath
ering upon it as she hears the proverb
that since France had been lost through
a woman, it should be restored through
a girl of the marshes of Lorraine. Soli-
tude, and nature, and prayer, and faith
fed this hope. So Jenny's childhood
went on-so France staggered to its
doom. Herlove for her country was
divine passion. She adored God, and
that feeling beat down all things small
and mean and base in her. In vision
she tells us, st. Michael appeared and
told her God has chosen her to crown
the King, Charles VII, and drive out
the armies of the victorious English.
Other visions followed. Either these
were facts or they were the result of i'm
agination. Whsever admits them as
facts writes himself down devout be-

Time has wonderful power in taking
the C onceit out of persons. When a
young men first emerges from the school
and enters upon the career of life, it is
painfully amusing to witness his self
sufficiency. He would have all the
world to know that he has Learned
all.n But as he grows older he grows
wiser, he learns that he knows a
great deal less than he supposed he
did, and by the time he reaches three
score years, he is prepared to adopt
as his own the sentiment of John Wes-
ley; "When was young / was sure of
everything; in a few years, having been
mistaken a thousand times, l was not
halfs sure of most things as l was be-
fore. At present, am hardly sure of
anything but what God has revealed to
man. .

RepIantfns Teeth.

A new feature in dentistry is recorded
in the Transactions of the Chronological
Society of Lon don. It consists in the
replantation of teeth which have been
extracted. In other words, it has been
found that in cases of Inflammation
about tn he roots of tooth, the latter
may b taken out, scraped and cleaned,
reinserted and made to duty again. The
method of procedure is to remove the
diseased tooth; clean out its cavities,
filling them up after cleaning with car
bolie acid, with cotton wool impregna-
ted with the same; next to scrapes the
fangs, but preserving the mucous mem
brane about the neck; and after bathing
in solution of carbolic acid, return to
its place. The London Lancet says,
speaking of the process: "Mr. Lyons
carried this out in fourteen cases for Mr..
Boleman, with success, in the case of
biscupid and molars, no mechanical ap-
pliances being used to keep the teeth
supported until they had become firm.2

stop the commissioners from proceeding with
tie work. Ii is our solemn conviction that if the

The Ayenue PaYement.

We suppose there can be no truth in the report
that the railroad company Is TO be allowed to
pave its track upon the Avenue with co55le-
stones. The Commissioners are authorized to
designate the style OF pavement to be used, on
the track as well as on the other portions of the
street, and will most certainly not permit the
work to be married by allowing the eontinu-
ance of the cobole-stone nuisance upon the
center Ct the street. The object IL to
have e smooth, clean, uniform pavem mt
over tie whole surface OF the street,
such SIS is had in Chicago, St Louis and otaer
cities where the wood pavement Is extensively
used, and whore the street-car tracks are m AIDE
of the same material. This purpose will be en-
tireIy defeated IL the two sides OF Pennsylyania
avenue are divorced by a rough stone pave
ment up the center, across which vehicles can
not pass without the same risk of disloc alton
that attends the attempt now. main object
tCo, in la ying q wood pavement upon the Ave-
nue. Is TO get rid Of the mud and dust that alter
Dately make our streets so disagreeab!e Butit
will be impossible to secure cleanliness on the
Avenue if the mud and dust. inseparable from
the use OF the cobble- stone, is to be kept up in
the middle Of the street
The assertion that the street-car horses can
not get fcothold upon a wooden pavement ia
absurd. No such difficulty is experienced in
other cities where wood-payed tracks are used.
in fact, the wood pavement is everywhere con-
sidered an easier one tor the horse than a stone
pavement. The real cs1se of the opposition 10
wood-paved tracks by the railroad companyi IA
that the cost is considerably more than the
CObble stone; but this fact should not be allowed
10 stand in the way Of securing a uniform, thor
Oughly good pavement for the Avenue.
