About Teeth.
al the Year Rount.

Teeth have been both source of
trouble and vanity. to their pos.
SCISSORS for all time, as they still
continue to be. Dentists were COM
mon among the Egyptians, on the
authority of Herodious, and the eX.
traction OF teeth was known to the
ancient Greeks. Sprengel, in his
History of Medicine, says: Even
surgical Instruments were be-
queathed by the inventors to these
sacred shrines OF medicine. Thus
Erasistratus presented to the
Delphic Temple Of Apollo an In.
strument for extracting teeth. The
Romans were acquainted with the
use OF false teeth, and they are
mentioned by both Horace and
Martial. Among the ancient Jews
1t was q violation of the Sabbath
to wear false tooth on that day.
Feeth which have been found at
Pompeii were very sound, discov-
cry which led to the supposition
that the people OF that ancient city
did not indulge in the luxuries
which have attended the progress
I've msrch of civilization. Artiflc.
ial teeth became known in Eng
land, it is supposed, about the If.
teeDth or sixteenth century. They
are mentioned In the Mathematical
Je,Oey, 1885; and Ben Jonsop, In
the Silent Woman, refers to them:
"Otter (Speaklng Of his wife) "a
most vile face! and yet she spends
me G40 a year in mercury and hogs
bones. All her teeth were made in
the Black Friars."

a circumstance that makes it un-
pleasant at any time to take up
dead people in order to remove
them from one point to another.
The lid of the stone box was OPEN
ed, but the attempt to remove the
casket from 1t was Intellectual on
account of its extraordinary
weight. This created considerable
surprise, and it was decided TO
open the casket. Mr.. Devore, the
undertaken, was intrusted with this
job, and when he removed the lid
the face and body were found to
have undergone petrifaction. 1t
had assumed the color Of yellowish
marble, and the entire body seemed
as one solid mass of stone chiseled
from block. Not one of the fea-
lures or lineaments was out of
place or unnatural in the slightest
degree except the eyes, which were
somewhat sunken. After consider
able difficulty the body was raised
from the grave with the casket, and
placed In another casket lined with
zinc. When weighed for transpor-
tation to Philadelphia the body
was found to weigh
NINE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE
POUNDS.
The body arrived in Philadelphia
on the 2oth of March, and was In
tered In the Laurel Hill Cemetery
on the 27th. When buried Mr..
Singerly wore dress suit which,
together with the shirt and other
wearing apparel, was also found
petrlfied and intact. Mr.. Lare did
not know the exact size and width
of the casket in which the body
was buried, but stated that the one
In which 1t was transported to
Philadelphia was seven feet six
inches long and three feet wide.

The Independent Press on the Political
Situation.

The so-caled Independent press, which dur
Ing the past six years has labored so assidu-
ously TO bring the Democratic party into power,
is not at the present time giving much aid and
encouragement to the Democratic plottsrs at
Washington. Even the Springfield Republi-
can feels called upon to rebuke the conspira-
tors in an article denouncing the Democratic
plan to repeal the Federal electice laws, which
closes as follows:
owe denounce the folly of that policy. We
denounce it particularly on the part OF the
Democratic party as the admitted original
offender and gross offender who made the leg
Islation necessary, and as party deeply under
suspicion OF repeating the otfense and deeply
under temptation throughout the South and in
New York to repeat 1t. We denounce it be-
cause it places the party wholly and totally on
the wrong side OF what is great aud rising
issue in American politics-the Independence
and bona tide character of the voter, the purity
of the ballot and the honesty of the declsrs-
tion OF the popular voice."
The Philadelphia Times, which earnestly
supported Mr.. Tilden in 1876, in an article on
the same subject, approves the ground which
it is claimed that the President will occupy by
fayoriHg the repeal of the jurors test oath and
the statute authorizing the use of Fedora
troops at elections, but opposing tho repeal of
the law authorizing Federal supervisors. The
Times warmly approves such action on the part
of the President and says that he will serve both
the country and his party by maintaining the
conservative and obviously Just attitude on the
disputed issues In conclusion the Times says:
"With the Executive presenting the question
thus patriotcally TO Congress in his message,
the Democrats will be compelled TO accept all
responsibility for any want of harmony between
the legislative and executive departments of
the government. The position assumed by the
President asks nothing for partisan ends, bat
it proposes exact justice to all, and the Dene-
Gratis must resolve to become political suicides
when they resolve to make an issue with him.
He offers them all that any can ask in the
name of fairness and the party that refuses 10
have Supervisors from each side to check the
frauds of either will thereby confess its unwill-
ingness to accept honest elections. The elec.
ton law should be so modified as to dispense
with Deputy Marshals aud allow Supervisors
from both parties, selected by the courts, to be
sentinels against fraud. They should not pos
sess any arbitrary powers, but they should be
clothed with all needed authority to enable
them to guard against every device for pollut-
ing the bsllot-box. The President is right, and
the Democracy must accept mis- position or ae-
cant dafeat ,,

THERE is great political excitement In the
Dominion just now, and the Governor Gen.
eral is being handled without gloves. The
Quebec Conservatives ever since the new
ministry was formed have been clamoring for
the removal of Letellier, lieutenant governor
of that province. The House of Commons
by majority of IS demanded his dismissal,
and after considerable delay Sir John Mac
donald asked the Governor General TO relieve
him. The latter, however, decided that it
was his duty to refer the matter to the home
government. In consequence the French
Conservatives are greatly incensed, and their
newspapers express in almost reasonable
language their dissatisfaction. La Minerue
gives vent to its feelings in this style: "The
young man who represents the queen at
Ottawa is not any better than the land pirate
who represents the queen in Quebec, and yet
England asks our affections, Colonial SUBJ
jects are intelligent enough to conduct their
own business without interference from Eng
land. We are now prepared to fight for our
rights, let the result be what it may. Friends,
be calm. We are in the right, we arc the
mass of the people, and in the end will be
strength"

PERU has finally concluded to join hands
with Bolivia in the latter's war against Chilli,
aud they have made an offensive and defen-
sive alliance. The cause of the trouble be-
tween Bolivia and Chill is in regard to the
province of Autofogosta. This is the most
northerly of the Chilian provinces, and con-
tains rich silver nitre mines, and since
1866 this province has been under both Bo.
lvian and Chilian control. A few months
ago Bolivia ordered taxes to be levied upon
the railroads and the nitre mines, contrary
to previous agreement, and the result was
that Chill took formal possession OF the sea-
port capital of the province. This is the
casus belli between Bolivia and Chilli, and
Peru mixes in because for some time she has
had a desire to measure arms with Chill and
the present seems very favorable time to
carry that purpose into effect.

Southern Threats.
Randolph Tacker Declares that the Army
Shalt Die Unless Republics ss Yield.

AWashington special says the debate in the
house on Friday was as interesting as at any
moment since it opened. Mr.. Singleton of
Mississippi, following in the strain Of Mr..
Blackburn, declared that the Democracy In.
tended finally to accomplish the purging Of the
statute books of all the legislation now under
consideration mot aspartisl repeal of II, bus for
himself he intended to labor on until the last
vestige of these laws was wiped soff the books
Mr.. Tucker of Virginia, who closed the debate
of the Democrats, was more extreme and de-
fant. Raising his hand as if taking an oath,
and turning to the Republicans, he, the ex-
Attorney General of the Confederate state of
Virginia, declared that the army of the United
States should die on the 3Oth Of Jnue unless
this political legislation was approved by the
President. This was accepted as one Of the
most suggestive declarations of the whole de-
bate. On one side was the Democratic msjori-
ty exulting in its return to power aud upon
"its entering into its brthright" one termed
it, and ranged on this side many of the leaders
of the rebellion, and Tucker, speaking to the
loyal gathering on their side Of House, an
nounced to them aud to the country that the
army of the Union should die on the Both of
June, unless those who were seeking to sapply
1t and were standing by the laws tnat guarded
the bsllot-box should previously surrender with
the President they had elected to the Dsmoc-
racy, and under the lead of the men who failed
to crush that army in tho field. But while this
was remarkable situation and remarkable
declaration, Mr.. Tucker and his friends were
reminded, to their Confusion, Of what they APP
parently had not thought OF Dsfore-namely'
that By laws which they cannot rescn me army
can be- supplied, even If the prescott bill tails.
The officers cannot draw pay, but all the
needed supplies can be purchased by the Secre-
tary. The department here might have to close
with other departments, but tue army as an
organization will not need to lay down It's arms
to unarmed Confederstes.
