They knew their friends in the North
would aid them and they were not dis
appointed. After the firing on Fort
then edited by Captain Hurtt,Who was
subsequently dismissed from the army
for disreputable practices on Henry
Cooke, brother of Jay Cooke, who for
his services was made Governor of the
District of Columbia, proclaimed in
an editorial, believed at the time to
have been written by Salmon P. Chase,
that the creators of the Union had
sown the seeds of its Inevitable death
at its CREATION and that politicians and
dotards may gabble and weep tearsof
imbecility over the breaking up of an
unnatural compact, but reason, justice
and humanity will gladly accept it as
one of those cheering evidences that
Providence is working good to the
creatures of the earth through the pro-
cess of sventsl The same Journal,
fearful that South Carolina would not
secede, proposed to get up petitions to
drive her out of the Union. After
portion of the Southern States had
passed Ordinances of Secession, and
had taken and held forts and other
property belonging to the United
States, Congress, composed of Re-
publican majority in both Houses, re.
fused the urgent appeal of President
Buchanan for power, by law, to re-
possess them. So strong were the
present leaders In sympathy with
Southern Secessionists, that 8 let the
Union slide as was proclaimed by
one of their trusted speakers, became
a common watchword of their party.
Thus have traced secessiorthrough
the Administration of Washington
down to the time when it was prac.
tically tried to be carried into effect.
1t never was Democratic, always was
q Federal doctrine. Born of New
England, cherished by the old Federal
leaders, and by them transmitted to
their sons, it originated in the dislike
of politicians to be in a minority. The
men who first threatened it were of
that class who would rather reign in
hell than serve in heaven, and when
threatened by their descendants it was
always when Federalism was in a mi
nority.

There are ninety and nine that live and die
In want and hunger and cold.
That one may revel in luxury
And be Tapped In its silken fold;
The ninety and nine in novels bare,
The one in palace with riches raie.
- They toll In the fields, the ninety and nine.
For the fruits of our mother earth;
They dig and delve In the dusky mine,
And bring her hidden treasures forth;
And the wealth released by their sturdy blows
To the hands of the one forever flows.
From the sweat ofthcir brows the desert bloom,
And the forest before them falls,
Their labor has builded humble homes,
And cities with lofty halls;
And the one owns cities. and homes and lands
And the ninety and nine have empty hands.
" But the night so dreary and dark, and long,
At last shall the morning bring.
And the land the victor's song
or the ninety and nine shall ring.
And echo afar from zone TO zone,
Rejoicei for labor shall have its own"

SMOKING AND THE TEETH.
the Latter is Benefited by the
Habit.

! At a recent meeting of the Odonto.
logical Society of Great Britain, Mr..
Hepburn read 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 nic-
otinc upon the teeth is decidedly ben
eficial. The alkalinit of the smoke
must necessarily neutralize any acid
secretion which may be present in the
oral cavity, and the antiseptic proper
ty of the nicotine tends to arrest pu-
trefactive change 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 carbon with which tobacco
smoke is impreguated. 1t is this car
bon which is deposited on the back
part of the throat and lining MEM
brane of the bronchial tubes, and with
whatever disastrous effect 1t may act
in these situations, he thinks we are
justified, from what we know of it's
antiseptic properties, in concluding
that it's action upon the teeth must be
beneficial. Moreover, this deposit
takes place exactly in those positions
where cavities are most likely to arise
and on the surfaces OF the teeth which
escape the ordinary cleansing action
of the brush. 1t is found intcrstitial.
1xys IN oil
ing the assures of the coronal surfaces.
1t may be removed with scaling IN
struments from the surface of the en-
amel, but where it is deposited on
dentine this sill ucture becomes impreg.
mated and stained. Indeed, 1t is only
when the enamel is faulty, and there
is access to the dentine, that any true
discoloration of the tooth takes place
but it is remarkable, he says, how the
stain will penetrate even through mi
mute cracks, provided the necessary
attention to cleanliness was not OBJ
served. The staining power of to-
bscco oil may be seen when deposit
has taken place on the porous surface
OF tartar collected on the posterior
surface of the inferior incisors. In
this situation shiny ebony appear
ance is occasionally produced. That
tobacco is capable of allaying, to some
extent, the pain of toothache, is, he
thinks, true, its effects 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 oc-
currence of toothache amongst sailors
in great measure to their habit of
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 carious teeth, and the
various stages of death of the pulp,
and the drath of the periosteum TAX
ing place withoutspain of discomfort
to the patient. This condition may,
of course, be brought about by vari-
ETY. of influences but in these special
cases he is inclined to think that the
presence of nicotine in the mouth has
acted powerfully. The experience of
other speakers, in the subsequent die
cussion, appeared to corroborate that
of Mr.. Hepburn.

The Burnet (Texas) Bulletin tells
this story: "The wonderful cave re-
Gently discovered near Buanet is cer-
tainly one of the greatest curiosities OF
the age. While passing through this
cave a gentleman discovered a small
aperture about six inches IN width.
Having pick, he broke into the OPEN
ing, and to his astonishment he soon
discovered large airy apartment.
Entering this, he found what appear
ed to be stone table beautifully carv.
ed, Several stone chairs stood in the
corner of the room. He continued his
search, and at last in a dark corner he
found the skeleton of a man. He at
tempted to raise it from the floor, but,
though he used his utmost strength,
he could not move it. He says that it
appeared to be solid stone. 1t is i'm
possible to conjecture who was the
hermit, and how long the skeleton
has remained hidden away in that
silent cave.

Root pruning f tomato plants is

Root pruning f tomato plants Is
re commended to induce early maturity
of the fruit. While the plants are
young they are lran>plan''d several
times, which of course destroys some
of the roots, and after they are put III
to their final resting-place, spade is
once IN q while thrust into the ground
a foo, or so from the main stalk. In
this, of course, size and perhaps quail
ity is sacrificed to few weeks EARL
ness; but many are willing to pay
this penalty for the sake of an early
dish, Those wishing 10 secure early
ripening Of fruit will do well to prac'
tice this system of root pruning upon
n portion OF their plants, Tomato
plants produce better and have evenly
ripened fruit when afforded some sup
port as by stakes or trellis to keep the
vines from the ground.
