USEFUL HINTS.
TO SwEETEN H BREATH M
CLEANSE IL TEETH.

TO SwEETEN THE BREATH AND
CLEANSE IL TEETH
Always clean the teeth at night just
before retiring, for particles of food col
lect between the teeth during the day
and if left there all night will decay,
causing the breath to become offensive
and also prove very injurious to the
teeth. Scrub the teeth with a hard
brush, using little, i fany, soap; sprinkle
on a little powdered borax lone pinch
will do) until the gums are hardened
and become accustomed to it; rinse the
mouth often with borax water; it will
prevent it from becoming sore or ten
der. If artificial teeth are. worn, cleanse
them thoroughly with borax, and when
convenient let them remain in borax
water every night if possible); it will
purify them and help to sweeten the
breath.
CALLoUS ON THE FEET.
If the spots are not too large, the use
of adhesive white felt bunion. plasters
would afford great relief, if not a per-
manent cure. A large and painful
corr may be cured in this way: First
battle the feet in a strong solution of
borax-table spoonful of powdered
borax in a basin of water; battle at least
twice a week; let the feet remain in the
water half an hour or more; pare the
corn a little. be careful not to make it
bleed, and place the bunion or corn
plaster, whichever size is needed, OH
the corn; let it remain on day and
night; pare the corn every day or two;
fill the cavity in the center of the
plaster with some pulp of a lemon,
although this is not absolutely necess-
airy, except in very stubborn cases.
Wear the plaster for a week or longer
after the corn is cured; it prevents the
shoe from rubbing..or irritating the
tender spot. Perpetual pairing"
(unless the corns or spots are afterward
protected) will increase the size. The
plasters can be procured at any drug
gist's.
Pare and touch with nitrate of silver
three or four times. For redness and
burning of soles, soak ten OF a dozen
times in hot, strong borax-water, or in
hot, strong I've of borax ashes. The
latter is excellent also against chill
blains.

Mr. rr.pv D1v1s1oN,
IF IL MISSOURI,
Chicago, June %, 1877.
Ny DEAR CAPTAIN:-Yours of the
10th inst. is just at hand. Lieut.. Col.
Denison's statement, as quoted by you,
in reference to the charge of the French
cavalry at Sedan, above and near h
village of Flowing, is, in the main cor
rect.
1 was watching the advance of the
German troops through a field-glass,
and saw the whole affair distinctly.
The facts are as follows: The German
infantry, after passing through the
village of Flowing, moved up n steep
ascent, with a skirmish line in dvanc
Upon reaching the brow of the hill the
skirmishers came upon a sort of a pla-
teau, and were at once discovered by
the French cavalry, a small brigade of
which, say from twelve to thirteen hun
dred strong. was in the immediate Vi
cinity. The line had advanced a short
distance upon the plateau when they
were met by the cavalry which charged
them. AS the cavalry came down upon
them they were broken into small knots
or detachments of men, of somewhat
unequal size, the cavalry having ridden
completely through the line; but mean
while the little groups of infantry kept
up a calling fire upon the troopers by
turning to their rear, and constantly
firing upon them as they broke back
around their TANKS, and through the
groups of skirmishers towards the di-
rection from which they had come.
No sooner had the cavalry fallen back
than the skirmish line reformed, and
was rapidly strengthened by some OF the
soldiers of the main body, who, as oon
as they reached the plateau, saw at
once the perilous condition of their
comrades, and ran forward to their as
sistance. In the meantime the cavalry
which had retired beyond range, prompt
ly rallied, and reforming with scarce a
moments delay, again advanced to the
charge. Once more the skirmishers
received them with a volley, and
adopted precisely the same tactics which
they seemed to have been forced to ut
first. Again the cavalry broke through
the line but practically accomplished
nothing for the Germans poured in a
whitening fire from their small knots or
detachments, until the cavalry once
more retired around the TANKS, having
lost large numbers of men and horses.
During the time occupied by this Sec

The GRAND CANTATA AT THE VIRGINIA
OpERA-HousE.- evening and to-mor-
row evening Virginia Opera-House will
doubtless be crowded upon the occasion OF
the presentation OF the beautiful cantata
Titania, for the benefit OF Grace-Street
PRESBYTERIAN church. The dramatis per-
song are: Titania, the Fairy Queen, Miss
J. Mitchell; Lily Bell, her favorite, Miss
Alice Swain; Thistledown, a rival, Miss
Maggie Redford; Hearts Ease, Fairy in
Titania's train, Hiss Riddick; Eudora, the
Naiad Queen, Miss N. Lyon; Chorus OF
forty-five Fairies and Naiads.
The fair ladies who are to take part IN
this entertainment have been rehearsing Tor
some days, and they will no doubt render
their parts with fine effect. They would
probably throw little more spirit into the
cantata il some Of the opposite sex were IN
the cast.
Lily Bell, the favorite subject OF Titania,
while wandering outside of fairy land, falls
in love with Mortal. Her crime is dis
covered by Thistledown, who is jealous OF
her. In spite of Lily sBelPs pleadings, This
tledown makes known her fault to Tltanla,
who imposes OH her as a punishment Inc
task OF solving three riddles. While search
ing for the answers she assists Eudora, the
Naiad Queen of another dominion, who in
turn gives Lily Bell the clue to the informa-
ton she is in search Of. Thistledown, feel
ing ashamed Of her conduct, and partly to
see what this wonderful love is, starts on
an exploring expedition. She falls into
the hands OF wicked spirits who torment
her, when Lily Bell and Eudora come to
the rescue, and the three fays seek THanla
with the answer 10 the riddles.

Particulars of the Shocking Accident
I'm PENNSYLVANIA.

CHESTER, PA, May GA terrible acci-
dent happened at the launch Of the iron
steamship Saratoga, at Roach's ship-yard,
this morning about s O'Clock. About forty
men were under the vessel when it went
off, and, not hearing the order to come out,
Il number were crushed to death.
The names OF the killed, as far as known,
are Edward Fowley, John Nelson, Charles
Wright, and Edward Burke. The wounded
are George Wool, mortally, and Barney
Cannon and Walter Parkinson, seriously.
Itis thought that some Of the workmen were
killed and dragged into the water by the
ship. The bodies Of the dead are horribly
mangled, one being literally cut into halves,
and others with their legs and arms torn off.
The ship-yard is thronged with the friends
and relatives OF the victims, and presents a
very distressing scene.
Luter.-The total number Of dead in con-
sequence OF the accident is seven. In addi-
ton to those already reported J. j. Crew
was instantly killed and George 0. Wool
and Barney Cannon died at II O'Clock.
Three persons were woundcd-all OF whom
will probably recover. All OF the killed
and wounded were workmen employed at
the wards, and were engaged in knocking
the blocks from under the keel. The scene
during the time the ship was going off was
heart-rending, the men being seen strug-
Cling to escape while the huge blocks rolled
BY the ship crushed them to Jelly. No
assistance could possibly be rendered by
those who were standing by. Instead OF a
cheer, as usually greets a launch, wall Of
anguish went up and shrieks Of pain rent
the air. AS soon as possible the dead and
wounded were carried to the yard-office
and physicians summoned. About 1900
men are employed at the yard, and the
friends OF nearly all of them rushed to in
ullire for them. Flags are at half-mast
throughout the town, and work at the yard
has been stopped. James Roach has or
dered money to be furnished to the families
of the killed and wounded. John Foun-
tain, who had entire charge OF the launch,
makes the following statement: 8" l found
the ship was ready to move, and called Tor
all hands to get out from under before /
commenced cutting loose. The men who
were down by the after-blocking evidently
did not hear the order, or did not obey, as
they had fully five minutes to get out from
the time the order was given until the ship
started. Some OF the men remained under,
which is frequently the case, to attend to
the forward blocking"
Aftsrnoon.-A the meR who were un-
der the Saratoga to-day Just previous to
launching her have been accounted Tor. NO
additional deaths have occurred amongst
those injured, and the limit Of the number
killed may be now set at seven.

LOCAL MATTERS.

THE RADwAY PERJURY CAsES.-COllier
Nasl, and Ann Eliza his wife (both co!ored)
were examined by the Police Justice yes
terday morning on the charge of perjury
committed in the Railway trial. The court
room was kept very clear of outsiders by
Janitor Antelotti during the entire morn
ing, but when this case was called Justice
White discovered that there were about
twenty young men occupying the seats
usually allotted to witnesses. ~
The Justice asked: "Young men, are you
witnesses?" :,
one Young man for all: 'No sir.''---- i,
Police Justice: .ssThen will be compcll-
ed to request that you retire from the court
room." .... t."
Ereunt omnes. s.. ....s... -~
Captain G. D. Wise was present to repre-
sent the Commonwealth, and Colonel John
3. Young and S. N. Page, Esq, appeared
for the accused. The chief point at issue
was that Nash and wife had in the trial OF
Radway before Judge Guigon delib erately
sworn that Laura Mitchell had been en-
ployed for several days at their house, some
two or three years ago, as seamstress, and
that Nash had carried note from her to
Radway the first day she came there to
work. &c.
Miss Mitchell flatly denleG tnat sne had
been at Nash's house as stated.
Mrs. A. l.. Grubb, Mrs. Powell, Amelia
Fox (colored), and Caroline Spurlock (col-
ored), all swore positively that they had seen
Miss Mitchellat Nash's about the time stated.
They remembered her name as soon as they
saw the Radway publication in the news
papers.
Yet Miss Laura Mitchell maintained (wita
some scmblance OF truth, too) that she was
not there.
Both accused were OF course discharged.
Either Miss Laura Mitchell has very bad
memory or the witnesses mistook her sister
Flora (who is now absent from the city, for
Laura. Mr.. Radway, who possibly might
have thrown some little light upon the SUBJ
iect, was in the courtroom, but was not
called As 4 witness.
