Going to the Dentist.

[ like to come across man with the
toothache. There's something so pleasant
about advising him to stuff cotton in it,
to use camphor, creosote, peppermint and
''relief' that always feel better after
giving it. I have been there-had an
aching snag--and know just how it feels.
1t used to wake me up at night, and make
me mad at noon, and set me to swearing
early in the morning. l didn't meet man
or woman but what they advised me. One
said that hot knitting needle pushed
down on the root was excellent, another
said that opium was an excellent thing,
and others said that it must be dug out
by the dentist. If sat down to dinner
that old tooth began to growl. If | went
to bed, or got up, or went to party, or
stayed at home, it growled just the same.
1t wasn't always growl. Sometimes it
was Jump that made my hair stand up
and again a sort of cutting pain that
made me make faces at the baby, and
slam doors, and break windows. [ ate
cotton, peppermint, camphor and opium,
until got black in the face, and the old
snag kept right on. l put bags of hot
ashes to my cheek, applied mustard, held

To Kiss or Not to Kiss.
From the Iuter-Ocean.

A correspondent pro9ounds these CO.
nundrums to us:

How old is she What did she ever do that

full in her attacks upon MIR. BeecherY What
do YOU think about her late letter upon the
subject OF kissngf
These be ''hard questions,my masters.
but we will do our best with them,
taking them up and disposing of
them in the order propounded.
First. then, Mrs. Jane G. Swisshelm is
woman. We do not know her age, but
we understand she is something less than
one hundred. She is remarkable as be-
ing the person who killed Daniel Web
ster. and afterward invented the get in. :
She killed Daniel Webster with quill
pen. as described some time ago IN the
Inter. Ocean. She invented the ''get-in,
a species of female trousers. we believe,
while waiting for the verdict in the
Webster case. Mrs. Swisshelm is high
" estimable lady,. and we hardly know
the reason of her enmity to Mr..
Beecher We have heard that he fire.

Tilton accepted and paid for them; but
this is mere rumor. and may be lie IN

ton. If true, of course il is but natural
that she should think the former guilty.
and the latter innocent. In regard to
her late letter on the subject of kissing.
we have come to no conclusion. In fact.
we may as we'll confess it: we have not
seen the letter. We have heard it
spoken of. and have read reply which
some person has made to it; but as yet
our eyes are ignorant of it. We under.
stand she opposes kissing entirely. II

| We believe in temperance. but not in total
abstinence. so far as this business is con-
cerned. Thereby alluded to indicates
that Mrs. Swisshelm takes credit TO
herself for carefully avoiding all
kisses during her protracted life. To
this she attributes, in part, her longevity
and general heartiness. In one instance
only did Mrs. Swisshelm deviate from
this rule. It was in a hospital. A poor
4 boy had been suffering long and much
and she had visited and cared for him

The mother-in-law has SO fully occupied
the attention Of the press that the sister,
in.law, in her relations with the head OF
family, has been long neglected, but that
she is capable Of causing trouble, only IN
inferior degree to her mamma, she has
been lately demonstrating in Milwaukee.
Some years ago young man named fues-
ter married in that city of cream colored
bricks and rich, creamy beer, and was. as
is not unusual III such cases, supposed upon
by the brides parents,who extracted from
him a promise that he would support his
wifes sister, Ida, then aged SIX, until she
married Furthermore, they now allege,
ne was induced to promise to give Ida,
whenever married, COW, a bed, and two
hundred dollars in cash. And, as the
song says, 'sThe years passed BY. Slow
ly, probably, they passed with Fuester,
burdened with the support of fami-
Nv and a sistcr-in-law; more rapidly.

fighting stock and husband to attend to.
and while dull care away with; swl!test
of all, most likely, with Ida. well fed and
clothed, and developing fast into round
limbed, healthy and vigorous woman,
fair to look upon and upon
the lookout. She did not
watch in vain. She was wooed and won
by a man bearing the name OF Mum, and
went with him for better or for worse.
but she didn't forget her brother-in- law,
nor what she expected to get out OF him.
The parents said she was to get that bed
and COW and two hundred dollars
Mr.. Nunn thought they would
be good things to have in the family,
and so Ida went for them. Fuester
didnt remember any agreement to give
her all those things, and declined to make
the transfer; claiming that duty enough
TO wife S family was accomplished by
bringing up one Of the girls, without
towering her. SO Ida sued Fuestcr, with
her parents and her husband to back
her, and the courts will decide the mat
ter. The decision should be looked foI
with interest, and it's tenor carefully
noted by young men thinking of matrl-
mony. The precedent established Will
be important to bachelors. That a wife
is to be supported is fact; that
mother-in-aw is to be endured is likely
but that a sister.in.law must be support

Jew ish Manner OF Preparing Food.

J eW ISM manner Oh preparing kOUSAs
For the slaughter of fish there are no
directions. They may be eaten though
they die naturally on being taken out of
their element, and in this respect their
case is different from that of quadrupeds
and fowls. The general rule is that an
animal must be put to death according to
certain formulas. If it die naturally or
by accident or disease; if it be torn by
beast of prey, speared by an Indian, or
brought down by the bullet of a sports
man: if it be drowned, like the ducks
that are caught in nets in Great SHINE
cock Bay, or robbed of its breath by the
air pump of an experimentalist-n
even though it be deprived Of life in the
most humane and scientific way, accord.
ing to the latest French theory. to the
orthodox Israelite it is nevertheless in
the list Of the forbidden. To be proper
food for him. the animals throat must be
cut clean to such depth that the wind
pipe and gullet are severed. and it must
then bleed to death.
The wound must be inflicted by per-
son. known as shochet, who has studied
the art. and is familiar with all the regu-
lations relating to it, and whom the rab-
binical authorities have properly author
lied to discharge this duty. He must use
q knife which has been sharpened to its
highest capacity. and which has perfect
edge. l. is also his duty after the ami
NAL death to examine the carcass. and
to see that it was in sound health; any
indications Of disease render it unfit for
food. Eruptions are fatal, and SO are for
eign substances in the vitals which may
have engendered disease. The lunys are
examined with especial minuteness. and
almost any malformation or unsoundness
there will cause the whole body to be re
jected.
Such inspection is made only with ref
erence to quadrureds. With fowls it is
deemed comparatively unnecessary al
though even in their case the same gen.
eral rules apply IS to the effect Of foreign
matter and Of. SYMPTOMS Of soundness.

MR.. FISHER.

1t has been TO Us a painful necessity
which constrained US to oppose the nomi-
nation OF Louis Z. Fisher, Esq. for Gov
ernor. But: we did SO simply because
we were profoundly convinced that he
would not. if nominated, receive the
support Of that large element to which
alone we were obliged to look for sue
cess. We felt, too, that he would be
held answerable for every unfortunate
expression which had appeared in the
old. Pioneer during his connection with
il; and that our campaign would there
fore have been . defensive instead OF
an aggressive one from the very start.
There was no personal hostility to Dir.
Fisher in the Convention; it was q
mere question Of the possibility Of sue
cess, and it was believed that MIR. Buell.
had better chance TO win than any other
man in the state. And this feeling nomi-
mated him.
