DOOr-KnOb Dentistry.

The rough sort of dentistry de-
scribed below has occasionally been
practiced as a trick with more or less
success, but we have rarely heard of
a patients choosing the knob
method of his own accord.
A rough western farmer came into a
doctors Office to have tooth ex-
tracted, but flinched at sight Of the
instruments" and again and again
the doctor tried in vain to get grip
per into his mouth.
At last the Hoosier declared "the
new tangled thing to be no account"
and wanted to know if the doctor
could tie string around the tooth !;
/" for," said he, '.that's the way l used
to pull 'em out, am I guess it's bet
tern all your new tangled fixtures"
The dentist, to please him, said
he'd try, and producing from the
drawer a strong piece Of fish line,
after Il great deal of trouble and yalls
of pain from the Hoosier, it was firmly
secured around the tooth. The Hoosier

then proposed to fasten the string to
the doorknob, which was accordingly

then proposed to fasten the string to
the door-knob, which was accordingly
done.
The backwoodsman then COM
menced Il series Of easy jerks OH the
line, each of which was followed by
yel1s Of pain.
The doctor resumed his seat and
smiled audibly behind his paper, oc-
casionnlly glancing towards the door,
and then turning quickly again to the
paper.
Thus matters stood, until at last
the fire burned low, and the dentist
arose to replenish it. AS he threw in
the wood, and stirred the red Goals
into blaze, brilliant idea seemed to
strike him, for his face frightened
wonderfully. Arising from the floor
he left the poker in the fire and seat
ing himself, waited TIE change of af-
fairs.
The backwoodsman had relapsed
into despondency, for a melancholy
expression had settled on his face.
He steadily gazed downward, as if he
were III deep thought.
The dentist, as l have said before,
resumed his seat, but threw aside his
paper and sat looking intendy into
the fire, with an expression Of merri-
ment playing on his features.
Thus he sat for some time. At last
noiselessly rising from his chair, he
drew the poker, one end of which was
glowing with red heat from the fire.
He suddenly brandished it in the air
and brought it rapidly toward the
Hoosier's nose. The backwoodsman
threw himself back with q jerk. The
cord did not break nor the door-knOb
come ont but the tooth loosened
from its place, and bounded against
the door with click like bullet.

other in the State. Our community
is shocked at these outrages and is
determined they shall cease it within
their power to compel it. As our
white citizens Immediately offered
reward Of five hundred dollars for the
murderer of Mrs. Ricard, so the colored
citizens united their exertions with
the whites to capture the murderers
of the poor white pedler. In politics
they may differ, but in all else they
are a unit for the public good. May
such fraternal feelings ever exist.

A practical joke which has some
unpleasant consequences was recently
played upon Mr.. Jacob knous, Of
Hartford, Conn. Mr.. knous had been
for some weeks stopping in Boston,
and while himself and a party Of
friends were partaking Of a Christmas
dinner at his hotel, several persons
came in who were not acquainted with
him, and the question, DO you know
Knous {" asked of each as he entered,
came to be a standing joke from its
repetition. Knous started for home
Thursday, aud his friends, thinking to
send the joke along with him, about
the time he should have reached home,
sent these kilograms: ado you know
Kno4sf" aud 1--WE have found a man
who don't know Knous I" Mr.. Knous
was showed ip at Worcester, and his
wife, concluding from the kilograms
that her husband had met with o rail-
road accident, and some one was
wanted to identify him, at once started
for Boston, accompanied by friend
of the family, Mr.. Seymour. At Wor-
cester they were obliged to wait, Mrs.
Knous suffering the most agonizing
suspense, and while they waited the
Boston train passed, on which was Mr..
knous alive and happy, unconscious
that bis wife was but q few rods dis
tant. He arrived in Hartford to find
his friends in :. fearful suspense over
his fate, and his wife in Boston to
learn from the landlord Of his hotel
the true character of the painful delu-
sion under which she had labored.
The family is again united aud happier
than ever.

as those who have visited Asia Minor,

know, these international costumes
have some features of compromise,
