COlOred Exodus.

TOPEKA, KS, September 49,
General Conway is here in consulta-
tioA with Governor st. John and
others, regarding the colored exodus
1t is considered by them best to here
after direct the course of emigrants to
the older Western States, where there
is now very considerable demand for
their labor. There are none of the
refugees now depending on charity in
this State.
General Thomas w. Conway, Of
New Jersey, leader of the colored
exodus movement, in an interview
with a Journal reporter, says that in
formation from reliable sources is that
during next year 100000 if not more
colored people will emigrate from the
South to the North and West. The
pauper element will not be SO promi-
nent hereafter, and in view of the
fact that not a score of Southern
refugees who have gone into Kansas
during the past summer are now de-
pendent upon public charity, he is
not surprised to find that colored emf
grants with means will meet with no
opposition in settling in Kansas. He
has applications for farm laborers
from all the Western States, and
could find homes for twenty thousand.

Skill at Cards.

Robert Houdin, the conjurer, hap
pened to be passing through water
ing place, and visiting the casino
found a manifest but unsuspected
Greek at the ecarte table busily and
proftably employed in plucking the
unwary guests. He said nothing, but
waited until there was a vacant seat
at the table and took his place silently
opposite the swindler.
The descendant of Agamemnon
dealt aud turned a king from the bot
tom of the pack with neatness and
dispatch.
Houdin betrayed no emotion, but
when it came to his turn to deal said
affably to his opponent: When
turn kings from the bottom of the
pack | always do it with one hand in
stead of two-it is quite as easy and
more showy. See-here comes hi
majesty Of diamondsl"
And the conjurer calmly produced
the card.
The gambler stared at him for ar
instant, and then bounding from hi
chair rushed out of the room withou
going through the formality of waiting
for his hat, coat and stakes.

SmokIng and thn TeeiI,.

At a recent meeting of the 0donto-
logical Society of Great Britain, Mr..
Hepburn read a paper on the result Of
his investigations on the subject OF
the effect of smoking on the teeth.
He considers that the direct action of
nicotine upon the teeth is decidedly
beneficial. The alkalinity of the smoke
must necessarily neutralize any acid
secretion which may be present in the
oral cavity, and the antiseptic property
of the nicotine tends to arrest putre-
factive changes in carious cavities.
In addition, he is inclined to believe
that the dark deposit on the teeth of
some habitual smokers is largely com
posed of the carbon with which to-
bacco smoke is impregnated. 1t is
this carbon which is deposited on the
back part of the throat and lining
membrane of the bronchial tubes, and
with whatever disastrous effect it may
act in these situations, he thinks we
are justified, from what we know of its
antiseptie properties, in concluding
that its action upon the teeth must be
beneficial. Moreover, this deposit
takes place exactly in those positions
where carries are most likely to arise
and on those surfaces of the teeth
which escape the ordinary cleansing
of the brush. 1t is found intersti
tally in all minute depressions, and
filling the assures on the coronal sur
faces. 1t may be removed with seal
ing instruments from the surface of
the enamel but where it is de-
posted on dentine this struc-
ture becomes impregnated and
stained. Indeed, it is only when the
enamel is faulty, and there is access to
the dentine, that any true discolora-
tion Of the tooth takes place but it is
remarkable, he says, how the stain
will penetrate even through minute
cracks, provided the necessary atten-
ton to cleanliness be not exercised.
The staining power of tobacco
oil may be seen when O deposit has
taken place on the porous surface of
the inferior incisers. In this situation
a shiny ebony appearance is occasion
ally produced. That tobacco is capa-
BILE Of allaying, to some extent, the
pain of toOthache, is, he thinks, true,
It's effect being due not only to its
narcotizing power, but also to its
direct action upon the exposed nerve:
and he Is inclined to attribute the
fact of the comparatively rare occur.
renee Of the toothache among sailors
in a great measure, to the habit ol
chewing. He has been struck, in the
case OF one or two confirmed smokers
who have come under his notice, by
the apparent tendency which exists
toward the gradual production of COM
plete necrosis of caTious teeth and the
various stagGs Of death of the pulp,
and death of the periosteum taking
place without pain or discomfort to
the patient. This condition NAV Of
course, be brought about by v.Tiety
of influences but in these special
cases he is jneliped to think that the
presence of nicotine in the mouth has
acted powerfully. The experience Of
other speakers, in the subsequent dis.
cusslon, appeared 10 corroborate that
of Mr.. Hepburn.

WHAT IT IS WORTH.

The expression of opinion vented at
Nashville by Attorney General B. J.
Lea, is worth no more than would be
that of any other lawyer. In defining
the duties of the attorney general,
code 1852 State, section 2, mentions
when, where and how his opinions
may be binding. This is only when
requested by the governor, secretary
of state, treasurer and comptroller.
His opinions, given to other persons or
boards, have just the same weight and
authority as those of any other re-
spectacle and able attorney. We do
not, and we are sure that many law
yers and people of , this State will
hardly agree to his construction of the
powers of the State board of health.

OHIO PROsPECTs

The Cincinnati Enquirer pays its
respects to the Republican game of
bluff, characterizing the Ohio cam
paign in and out of the State. We
have watched Ohio politics pretty
closely for years, and have remarked
this popularity Of the Republican
managers Whenever they arein close
quarters their brag game commences.
The Enquirer talks in this fashion:
We have a soldier ticket, and the
soldier vote of Ohio, which is very
large, will not be insensible to this fact.
We have a currency reform, silver,
anti National Bank ticket, and that
idea had majority of $4,000 last year.
The Republicans have done nothing
to gain votes since 1876, and then, in
100000 votes, they had only a majority
of 1000. In seven years the Republi-
cans have not carried Ohio by larger
majority than this, while it has been
carried by the Democrats, once by
1900 and once by $4,000 within that
time. AS between the two great par
ties in Ohio, the fight has become an
even one with a full vote. The Repub-
lican is short-sighted and the Demo
crat is faint-hearted who can not, or
will not, see that this year the soldier
vote and the Greenback vote will elect
General Ewing and General Rice.
The thirty-eight thousand men who
voted the National ticket last year
hopelessly are still in Ohio, earnest,
intelligent, anxious for the triumph OF
their idea, which embraces the full
reconciliation of silver and the sub
stitution of greenbacks for National
Bank notes. They will not neglect an
opportunity to make their idea gov
ernor of Ohio And there are thou
sands of soldiers in the State who can
not be intimidated or deceived by
partisan falsehoods into voting against
two gallant Union soldiers-theii
comrades. And Maine shows that il
anything is probable in human affairs
it is the election of Ewing. Lying
and blufing cannot defeat him.

tiles of the province will continue in
the undisturbed performance OF their.
duties but criminal cases, when it is
considered necessary, will be tried by
court martial. Rebels surrendering
within fortnight after the publica-
tion of this decree will be pardoned.
New YORK, September ia dis
patch has been received here from
Havana to the effect that slaves of
Cienfuegos and Cinco Villas, Cuba,
have risen in rebellion against the
Spaniards, and have joined the patri-
OTIS, taking with them a large proper
tion of their masters cattle. There
is great indignation in Cuba over the
massacre of about seventeen officers
who served in the last Cuban revolu-
tion on the patriot side, but who have
of late been residing in different places
and following their different vocations.
From their past records they were
suspected Of being in sympathy with
the present revolution. Some were
killed in their homes before their
wives and children's eyes, by Spanish
troops, and others were taken into the
woods and slaughtered. The captain
general is causing an investigation,
and has cited the governors of Colen,
Cienfuegos and Matanzas to appear
before him to explain the cause Of
these butcheries.

FoolIng With q CrocodlIe.

The foolhardy performance of Capt.
James Swan, I" the man crocodile" at
the Theater Comique in Providence,
came near resulting fatally the other
evening. lie was in large plate-glass
tank Of water with an alligator six feet
long, and, after stirring up the reptile
till it was furious, he tore open its
jaws and placed his head between
them, Quick as a fash they closed,
and Swans death seemed certain.
With almost supeFhuman exertion he
freed himself, however, and sprang
out of the tank, his cheeks being
deeply gashed by the alligator's teeth.
In a moment he returned to the water,
forced the reptile into submission, and
went on with his exhibition.
