nlv a sheet Of vulcanized rubber, about
i-33 OF an inch in thickness, set firmly
in q handle of the same material. In
the upper rim OF this sheet are pierced
some holes through which passes a sill
ken cord. This goes down on the ~
nrr side Of the sheet, to the handle,
through Il slot in which il passes. BY
milling this cord the sheet is bent over
ut any angle which The uscI may desire.
Ench nrrsOn has to ascertain for himself

iicncrally it is very Slight~-ouly about

curve must be. When used, the person
holding it sinIpl! touches the upper

the teeth OF the upper Jaw. The voice
of the speaker strike, upon this tcu>c
sheet OF rubhrr, and communicates to

teeth of the upper jaw for the reason
that they are more nearly III contact

be ones own or artificial, SO long as
those artificial teeth are tightly fitted

On last Wenesday, at the Chisholm
murder trial, then in progress III De
kalb county, Mississippi, there were
some unexpected developments which
created a decided sensation among the
people assembled in the court house.
Phil. Gully, Il relative of the Gully who
was on trial for the murder OF Cornelia
Chisholm, was called as a witness. AS
he was about to be sworn, the prose-
cutting attorney asked of the clerk Of
the court if there was not IN Indictment
pending against him. The clerk an
swered that there was, and then it was
made public for the first time that not
only was there an indictment against
Phil. Gully, but that there were indict-
ments against thirty-two other citizens
for the murder of Chisholm. 1t seems
that the sheriff was afraid to arrest so
many persons at once, and had only
notified four of the Gullys, after hav-
ing the warrants in bis possession for
over -foW months, of the Indictment
against iheaD. When the fact Became
known that so many persons were
charged with complioty in this Clishohh
murder the surprise was intense, and
excitement, for q little while, ran high

The REWARDS OF ECoNoMY.-IouDg
u,en who came of age i'll 1873, when,
according to official tables, nearly $780,
OO0,000 worth OF textile fabrics were
imported, will see that such imports had
fallen last year to about SS5,00O,0O0
worth. They will also see that last year
in the single article OF breakstutfs, and
on the top OF tllis decrease in importa-
tions, there was an increase of nearly
$133, 900 in oul:Ssout-put, over that of
the year OF their majority. All classes
of the community-tIlose whom Tlisas
ter has made cautious, and those who
have been educated to practice pru-
dence-ought to be able now to maintain
and develop the returning prosperity
which has come to lis with our return
to common sense and sound principles
in the conduct of our affairs. Let every
man lay to heart the moral of the stril1
ing remark made by one of the business
men who have obliged the World with
their views to-day, that an increase OF
only one dollar in the yearly income
aud outgo of every man, woman and
CHILD in the United States means a
difference Of nearly hundred millions
OF dollars in the yearly trade movement
of the country.-[New York World.
