TN the annals of history is now in the
l. hands of DR.. N. T. Krous, who is ex-

This is to certify that on the 10th lday of Au-
gust, 1865, L applied to DR.. N. T. krous, for a
cure for n cancer located near my left eye which
gave me much pain and uneasiness, as l had tried
several physicians at Salisbury, N. O., and 9TH
ers in Tenn, without any benefit, only rather in
creasing my danger, as it was situated near the
edge of the eye-lid. 1t was of about seven years
standing. DR.. Krous made a prescription which
soon made n radical cure All being thus Attic
ted will be well paid to give him n trial.

New Orleans Police.

The cost of the Police of New
Orleans, at present, is thus tcom-
mented upon the Bulletin:
The expenses for r.s"running''
the, Metropolitan, Police for the
month Of September, are Official
ly estimated at sixty thousand
dollars. This sum, multiplied by
twelve, gives the snug. little
amount Of $4,000 per annum.
The yearly estimate of police ex-
penses, if we remember correctly,
has, however, been put down at
a sum in the neighborhood of
S9OO,OOO. According to the last
census returns, New Orleans has
a population of 191, 1,418. st.
Louis, whose population is over
100000, and Cincinnati with q
population of 216,OOO, pay less
than half what New Orleans
does for the maintenance of their
police; and they have, acknowl-
more efficient police
than New Orleans can claim at
a much greater expense. Our
police force, as at present con-
stituted, is efficient only in ono
thing: it is n convenient machine

Every Tooth is Worth a Diamond.

Feats OF strength performed
with the teeth are absurd; those
who indulge in them ought to be
punished like that youth who,
says DIR. Demartie, broke all his
front teeth, who bet that he
would throw over his head a
chair, which he held with his teeth
by the upper part of the back
board to achieve that noble feat.
Another fellow, more imprudent,
caused himself to he hoisted up
from the ground to u window by
means of q rope, which he held
in his teeth. When he reached a
certain height he lost his four in
cisors, and broke one of his legs
in the fall. Some others, says
the Doctor, find pleasure in grind
ing drinking-glasses between
their teeth, aud wounding their
mouths grievously in the attempt.
One would suppose.that the life
of these maniacs is perpetual
challenge to the Almighty who
gave it to them. The loss of Il
tooth is a real misfortune, since
it cannot be repaired. a tooth
is worth Il diamond, says one of
OUR authors. Remember these
few words, and try to put them
in practice.-Heral0 Of Health.

mists to Crack.

Not month passes that the
rate of gold interest, in New
York, is not SO largely in excess
of tho rate of currency interest,
that it is evident tho quotations
of gold at the Gold Room, which
is the gold-currency metre Of the
country, are false. For instance,
the rate Of currency interest in
New York, yesterday, was Ger
tainly not overs per cent. per
annum, but the rate of interest
on gold, according to "Ante-
lope's" special telegram in the
Picayune, was fivc-cighths of one
per cent. per day. If a man has
credit or collatcrals upon which
he can borrow gold, he can, upon
the same credit or the same col
latcrals, assuredly borrow cur
rcncy to buy gold. SO man
wanting 500 in gold, if it were
purchasable at the Gold Room
quotations., could discount II cur
rency note for $119 13-4S, paya-
bic in six months, the proceeds
of which would be $1144 curren-
cy, and, with that Sl144, he could
go into tho market and buy 500
of gold. But it is manifest he
can do no such thing, or gold
would not bring an interest OF
five-eights of ono per cent. per
day, or its equivalent, 22S! per
cent. per annum.
The problem then occurs.:' if
the gold quotations are false,
what are the true quotations2
The formula will always be the
same, thus the interest on gold
being so much, and the interest
on currency SO much, what
amount Of currency will be equal
to a given amount of gold2 AS
to yesterday the question was
the interest on currency being
eight per cent. per annum and
the interest on gold 22Ss per
cent. per annum, what amount of
currency was equal, in value, to
a given sum, suppose 500 Of
gold?
The answer is that 800 gold
is equal to $2Sj1 GIG currency.
Tho result is startling, but it is
mathematically accurate. Who
ever understands ssthc why and
the wherefore Of this can meas
ure the depth Of the abyss into
which the people of the United
States may be plunged at any
mOmcnt.-N. q. Bee.

TO Every Soldier who Wcrthily
Wore the Gray.

The first Confederate soldier
killed in the war between the
States was Henry Wyatt, of
North Carolina, who fell ut Beth
cl, and is buried in Hollywood
Cemetery, at Richmond, Virginia.
A brief inscription on his tomb
stone, telling the eventful histo-
ry, attracts the attention of every
visitor to the Cemetery; and on
Memorial Day no Confederate
grave is more lavisllly decorated
than that of young Wyatt. The
dead son is remembered and hon
orcd, while the living father is
neglected OF forgotton.
John Wyatt, the father of Hen
ry Wyatt, is now in the Poor
house in Pitt county, North Car
olina. The boy, who would have
been tic prop Of his old age, shed
his blood for us in tho first battle
of the war, and it rests with his
surviving comrades to save the
patriot-fathcr from further hl-
initiation. y tritling contribu-
ton from the Confederate soldiers
will make the venerable old man
comfortable for the rest Of his
days, and we sincerely hope that
every Southcrncr, who wore the
gray with honor, will send few

Wyatt, to Captain w. J. McKer.
