suicide of "a Former Wash1ngton1an.

f. Theobald, German barber, who
formerly lived in this place, and owned
and conducted the barber shop on Fayette
street, now owned by Ben. Friedman,
committed suicide last Saturday night, by
taking morphine. He bid a number of
his friends goodbye OH the day previous,
and invited them to attend his funeral !;
but as he was i'll liquor at the time, they
thought nothing serious of it. Theobald
lost his wife while living here and not
very long afterward married lady of
some property, of Hillsboro, and re-
moved to that place to live, about year
ago. He was the proprietor of the Pal
ace Barber Shop, in Hillsboro. He came

Lecture by Alexander Clark.

DR.. Alexander Clark, editor of the
Methodist Recorder, will deliver his lecture
on ga Race of Mimics," at the NJ. E.
Church in this place, on Friday evening,
December 18th. Mr.. Clark is a highly pop
ular lecturer.
The Pittsburg Commercial speaks of Mr..
Clark as lecturer in the following terms ::
''Last evening the first of course of
lectures, arranged by the Young Mems
Christian Association, was delivered in
the rooms of the Association, by Alexan-
der Clark, editor of the Methodist Recorder.
The attendance. as might be expected,
from the popularity Mr.. Clark has gained
as being one of our first lecturers, was
large and appreciative. He chose for his
subject Copy" which he handled in his
inimitable style, and sustained his repu-
| tatiOn as lecturer. The lecture was re-
| plete with excellent thoughts, wise sug-
gestions, and good advice, couched in the
choicest language, and was well delivered.
Mr.. Clark succeeded in eliciting the clos
est attention throughout, showing that the
lecture was highly appreciated. Mr..
| Clark is Il writer and speaker of more than
ordinary brain, originality, and power
having, also that still better quality OF
large, earnest, hopeful sympathy with his
| kind, without which there can be neither
true strength nor eloQuence. They arc
gradually but surely bringing him into
constantly widening sphere of honorable
recognition outside of his Immediate de
nominatiOnal limitations, or professional
pursuits"

Studying Natural Philosophy.

Old Keyser found Cooley's boy stand
ing in a suspicious position under his
best apple tree, with a stick in his hand,
and a certain buggy appearance about
his pockets. Having secured him firmly
by the collar, Keyser shook him up a
bit, and then asked him sternly what
he was doing there.
"Ain't a-doin' nothing" said Coo
ley. 81 came over yer to study"
"That's entirely 'to thin, exclaimed
Keyser.
"Yes, l did; l come over here to stu
dy about Sir Isaac. We had it in our
own lesson. He was in a orchard and
saw an apple fall, and that made him
invent the 'tractio of gravitat; and
come yer see if it was So"
sit won't do, sonnie," said Keyser,
"You're too enthusiastic about Sir
Isaac, and besides what were you gong
to do with the stick?
"With this stick This yer stick
What was l goin' to do with this stick
Why a boy gave me this stick to hold
for him while he went on a errand for
his aunt"

A Chinese Dentist.

The native dentists are the merest
charlatans, and practice as magicians
and c~ure-alls. They insert artificial
teeth of the sea-horse, which are kept
in place by copper-wire wrappings or
~fastenings to the adjacent teeth, and
charge about three cents per tooth for
the operation. Teeth are extracted by
a hocus pocus process which the dental
impostor calls coughing up" The
method of extraction is this. The dem
tist applies a white powder, represented
to be the salt extracted from the sweat
of horse. DIR. Eastlack found this
white powder to be nothing more or
less than arsenic, which causes the gum
to slough, when the tooth is easily re-
moved by the operators fingers. But
the Chinese method of curing the tooth
ache was what puzzled him most, and
longest detied detection. The opera
ton, it should have been stated, are all
performed in a temple or in the space
in front, under a large umbrella, the
idea being that religious ceremony is
in some way connected with them.
Toothache is caused by a maggot which
gets into the tooth somehow or other
while the patient Is asleep or while he
is laughing immoderately. 1t must be
removed alive, or the patient will 60
r,oJ uaiu thuraforo placad on q eaot
and his head thrown back. The dem
list inserts a long pair of forceps, and
after fumbling around for a few sec
onds produces between the nippers a
little wrlggling black m%aggot-the
cause of the IEele trouble. DR.. East
lack witnessed this operation repeated
ly, but 1t was only after obtaining sur
reptitious possession of the forceps that
he discovered the trick, He found
that one arm of the forceps only was.of
iron; the other was Of bamboo, painted
to resemble the other. In the hollow
of the bamboo were found a number of
little black maggots, probably obtained
from decayed vegetables or decompo-
sing matter. When necessary TO do
service, the operator simply squeezed
the bamboo above and the maggot was
elected from the small end of the In
strument to the mouth, and then adroit-
ly taken between the nlppers and held
up triumphantlv before the gaze Of the
astorished and grateful patient. DR..
Eastlack could never satisfy himself on
the point of the patients relief. The
operations he witnessed were dispatched
with astonishing rapidity, and the pa
tients hurried away, as that partlof the
performance was essential to the sue
cess Of the operation.
