Dentistry n Revived Art.

Antiqnarians tell us that dentistry is
they prove their assertions by exhibiting
filings taken out of the mouths of num-
mics who were embalmed thousands and
thousands of years ago This is curious
fact, and goes far to substantiate the theory
that there is nothing new under the SUM-
1t was left for the new world to revive den
tistry and bring it to point of excellence
which, possibly, the Egyptians never dream
ed of, and scarcely day now passes but
some improvement is being made, either in
chanical devices for rendering the filings
easy and permanent.
| New Orleans dentists before the war oc-
cupied the front rank in their nice and diff
cult profession, but the war broke up our
most brilliant and noted practitioners, aud
now the dental focus SO to speak, is at New
York, where the people can have an abund-
ance of money and can afford to pay for the
best work. The old system of performing
all operations upon teeth by haLd is rapidly
and the beautiful Morrison engine now
saves the operator infinite trouble, enables
him to make perfect filings, and gives much
less pain to the patient. The only dentist
that we know of in New Orleans who uses
this engine, and who has adopted the sys-
tenn Of building" i. e., restoring a decayed
tooth to it's original form, is DR.. J. r.
Walker.
The Doctor has kept pace with the march
of improvements, and being hard student
and skillful and ingenious operator, his
work will compare favorably with that OF
the best dentists in New York. A number
Of our first citizens bear cheerful witness
to his skill, and his cosy Office in the Sixth
District, corner of Coliseum and Napoleon
Avenue, is rapidly becoming sort of den
tai Mecca, to which all those who would
have the most desirable ornament that man
or woman can possess-a beautiful set OF
teeth-wend their way.
On the first pay day after the election the
Administration discharged its force of paid
voters from the New Hampshire "vote
manufactory,' alias the Portsmouth Navy
yard. Having no need of votes just now i'll
Virginia or New York, the Administration
has within the past few weeks also been dis
charging men from the navy yards at Nor
folk and Brooklyn. The Administration,
however, has no intention of giving up the
accommodating business There is a
pressing demand for the Radical votes in
Connecticut to counteract, if possible, the
growing strength Of the Democrats in that
State, and it seems that for every man dis
charged from other navy yards at least one
is added to the force at the New London
Navy-yard.
The projectors of the proposed steamship
line from New Orleans to Brazil, propose to
build their steamers at Carondelet, if they
succeed in securing subscriptions to their
capital stock sufficient to pay first expenses
They say that Barondelet can furnish a
more superior ship-plate iron than can be
obtained at any other iron ship yard in the
United States or Europe.
There are very large number of lovely
young ladies in New Orleans, who have no
beaux, or at least none who can make love
worth cent, and yet they do not go into
temperance crusades.
The st. Louis Republican describes the
Washington Chronicle as "a seven-a nd-a-half
octave moral paper, with Chandler cheru-
