MONDAY, JULY Is, 1872

The Washington correspondent of the Baltl-
more Sun says: "a proposition has been made
To the administration to act as mediator between
the two republican factions in Pennsylvania and
the basis of a compromise is the proposed
change of the republican candidate for Auditor
General. 1t is thought the ticket has been too
long in the field to have change accomplish
any good, provided the State Central Commit
tee could name man who would be accepted
by each wing. The Republicans seem to fully
realize the great danger of their ticket, and are
charging the responsibility of its probable defeat
on Senator Cameron on one hand and COL
Forney on the other. If anything results from
the negotiations now in progress public an
nouncement Of the fact will not be delayed.

He NHOOTGNG CASE IN CINCINNATI The
Oldest resident OF Cincinnati, and retired
clergyman, is Rev Samuel J. Browne who
settled IN that city in 1896 only six years after
the tlrsf log house WAS built there. He is now
over ninety years of age, old enough one would

passion and to be considerable of the weaknesses
Of the young. Yet lie lies at this moment in
Jail charged with shooting lad whom he
detected stealing fruit from his garden Indeed
the act can hardly be called one Of sudden passion
for Mr. Browne posted himself On piazza in
the upper story of his house, armed with two
shot guns and Il rifle, where he could watch the
approach of the enemy and pick them of at his
leisure. Sunday was the chosen day for the
depredations of the boys upon his frult'trecs,
and the clerical character of MIR. Browne dues
not seem to have suggested to him that Bible
reading would have been better employment
on that day for man of near century old than
rife practice Being so old, however, probably
his eye is dim and his hand unsteady, for he
fired several shots without effect. But more
steady aim at last with the rifle brought down
boy and killed him. 1t is very sad story.
He has been bailed for mis- appearance tor trial.

Mr.. GREELEY AT HOME-When Mr.. Gree.

AS soon as the above meeting adj burned, IE.
H. White, as Chairman Of the County Commit
tee called the members to order and submitted
a proposition for change of the basis of repre-
sentation in the county Convention to choose
delegates to the Congressional Convention, in
accordance with the change Of the wards. :
j. A. Seaton warmly opposed any change,
and proceeded to make long speech on mum
cipal politics, when
L. d. Harmon, taking up his hat said, Oh
pooh, m not going to stay here all night listen
ing to nothing, to which . 80
SeatoD replied you ought to have gone long
ago. You have no business in here any how.
You Amt citizen and have no right here
+ The Chair explained that Mr. Harmon was a
member of the committee: and by reason of his
removal to the county, had not lost his position
Mr. Harmon also explained his position with
relation to the committee, aud concluded by
saying that it was not the first deliberative BODY
he had been in that Seaton had attempted to
CONTROL to which,
Seaton replied that if all deliberative bodies
were composed Of such men as Harmon they
ought to be controlled by somebody.
The Chair interrupted and the coloquy was
stopped.
The question then being taken upon the
adoption of a resolution offered by T. j Edelin,
that the basis be according to the new division
of the city wards, was CARRIED to 2. Seaton
protesting to the last, both as to the action of
the meeting and to Harmons right to partici-
pate in the proceedings.
G. A. Lumpkins and Ed Evans took
slight part in the discussion, and at near IL

:, VERY SABA middle aged stranger of fine
physical development sat 10 asplt bottom chair
ON the shady side of our county jail as We pass
ed to dinner last Monday. His skin was
bronzed by wind and sun and his hands hard
ened by toll. He rested his flushed face on
one arm and with the other he tcpderly encir-
clcd sobbing infant less than year old which
sat on his knee. At sound of football the child
turned on us disappointed glance and then
burst into q food of tears. This renewed exhi.
biton of disquiet convulsed the man, and his
every muscle quivered with deepest emotion;
and as we gazcd upon the sad picture we felt
that some dark shadow had Unexpectedly fall
en- on father and child The jailor who has a
soft spot beneath his faded coat was standing
near but turned aside to wipe away the gather
ing moisture in his eye. This afforded us
opportunity to learn the facts in the case; and
to our inquiry, bis reply in a husky voice was
THAT that gentleman has been compelled to
commit his wife to jail for lunacy until she can
be carried to the Asylum tomorrow. She left
three small children at home, in Upper Eau
onire. The baby which misses her wastaken
from her only an hour ago. "''Well, well, said
we, She will receive kind and skiful treat
ment there, and soon return to the bosom OF
her family healed in mind and body" That's
what the gentleman says" rejoined the jailOr;
''and if be had not that hope, he could not
support his great trouble" We never before
witnessed so touching an illustration of the
necessity of an Asylum like that maintained by
Virginia at Stanton Warrenton l,,der.

ANCIENT DENTISTRY Ried, of Terre
Haute, in paper upon ancient dentistry, says:
Among the ancients, great success was OBJ
tanned 10 this art Casselius was dentist 10
the reign of the Roman triumvirs, and gold
was used for the filling. But nearly 500 years
B. c. gold was thus used and gold wire was
employed to hold artificial teeth in position,
and it does not seem then to have been a new
art. A fragment of the tenth of the Roman
tables, $50 B. g., has reference to preventing
the burial of any gold with the dead except
that bound around the teeth. Herodotus de-
clares that the Egyptians had a knowledge of
the diseases of the teeth and their treatment
1000 B. c. In Martial Casselius is mentioned
as either filling or extracting teeth; but he
specified that he would not polish false teeth
with toothpowder. Lucian mentions an old
maid that had but four teeth, and they were
fastened with gold. These facts cover a period
of 600 years. I'll"
