fOft JEWS N. 1 :, special.
A most remarkable story comes from Mid
dletown, Orange county. A maiden lady at
that place on the 9th Of January, 1869, swal-
lowed new set of false teeth, which became
separated from the rubber mould in which
they had been set, while mssticating her
food. Before she could eject the food from
her mouth the teeth had gone down into her
stomach. The family physician was sum
moned. but all his efforts were unavailing
The teeth caused her no discomfort and in
short time the matter was entirely forgotten.
A few days ago Miss Cole, the lady in ques-
ton, felt a sharp pain near her lett shoulder,
and upon examining the spot, found what
appeared like u wen under the skin. With
the aid of pen-knife she extracted what
proved to be tooth. She was at loss to
know how tho tooth came to be in such an
unusual spot until she suddenly recOllec,ed
that she had, twelve years ago, swallowed
her set of teeth. During the last few days
the lady has been cutting teeth all over her
body, and had, at last accounts, recovered
twelve of the fourteen teeth that had form
erly constituted her full set. She is anxously
awaiting the arrival of the other two. She
has placed the teeth in a glass case, and will

mankind has guided them in this matter.
The articles of food which we still use in
the uncooked state are comparatively few,

Fruits, which we consume largely in the

digestion of milk by psncreatic extract was
not sppreciably hastened by previously
boiling the milk. Our practice in regard TO
the oyster is quite exceptional, and furnishes
a striking example Of the general correctness
of the popular judgment on distetic questions.
The oyster is almos: the only animal sub
stance which We eat hsbituslly, and by
preference in the raw or uncooked state, and
it is interesting to know that there 10 a
sound physiological reason at the
bottom of this preference. The fawn. colored
mass which constitutes the dainty part of
the oyster is its liver, and this is little else
than heap of glycogen. Associated with
the glycogen, but withheld from actual
contact with it during lie, ats sppropristive
digestive ferment-the hepstic diastase. The
mere crushing of the dainty between the
teeth brings these two bodies together, and
the glycogen is at once digested without other
help by its own diastase. The oyster in the
uncooked state, or merely warmed, is, 10 fac

The second annual union Of the Texas

May. Arrangements have been made by
the committees of the exchange and the
press club 10 entertain in a handsome man
ner the representatives of the Texas press,
and their efforts will be seconded by the
press generally. 1t is not bad move on the
part Of tho Bayou City to extend courtesy
OF this sort to profession which Galveston
merchants and business men have persistent.
ly neglected. The invitation 10 tho press
representatives, to hold their reunion in the
Bayou City has already been the means of
giving that city the benefit Of large amount
OF advertisements, and when the press gen.
tlemen shall have assembled there to receive
the hearty welcome that IS sure
to DO extended they will mt be sparing of
their space" when they come to tell of the
Inequalities of the city and the people by
whom they have been entertained. The adj
vertsement that Houston will thus secure
will be Of no little benefit to that place in
the future, and while we do not envy her in
the least we should like to soc Galveston
making some effort to secure the atten.
ton aud good will of tho representatives
of the interior press. Railroads, msnurac.
tories and other industries are doing great
deal toward the development of the 70.
sources OF this great and growing state, but
not without the aid of tho press, which is
everywhere exerting itself to advertise
her natural advantages, to call
attention to the various fields of
speculation and enterprise and to en-
courage capital immigrants and we'll directed
business energies. Galveston has made very
little effort In tho past TO secure the co.
operation Of the country press In building up
q great city of the gulf coast and We are
forced to believe that our merchants in no.
fusing to acknowledge this power and inilu.
ence have pursued a rather short-sighted pol
icy. The drummers system 80 extensively
employed has, according 10 their under.
standing, made the advertising columns of
tho state papers unnecessary to tho extension
OF their business. This, we honestly believe,
is . mistake, and is hustful to the merchants
and TO the city generally. A more liberal
policy would secure a better feeling than
now exists, and on occasions when tho aid
and influence Of the country press is
absolutely necessary to the success of
Galveston enterprise, we would find that
press responding in a much more liberal
spirit than at present. New Orleans and st.
Louis merchants advertise quite literally in
many newspapers published within very
short distance OF Galveston, and in
which the name of Galveston mercantile
house Is seldom found. They cultivate
friendly relations with the press, and through
that medium with the small Dealers planters
and Others who support aud maintain
the country press. Between these people
and Galveston there are natural tics. They
would naturally feel more kindly disposed
toward the metropolis of their own state If
some effort were made by our merchants and
business mon TO cultivate the friendly rela.
tions which ought to exist.

in the history Of the twin republics our rail-
road system touches the border of Mexico.
This conjunction has raised war cloud
much larger than mans hand. III Psso is

government has granted the right, or

Right here trouble begins, for the govern
ment of Mexico had heretofore granted the
right TO the state of chihuahua TO build q
line Of railroad from FL Paso to Chihuahua
over the same ioute. The state OF chihuahua
will prevent by force the Atchison and Santa
Fe people from building this rosd, and the
governor OF chihuahua has ordered 500 state
troops to I'll Psso ostensibly to keep the
peace between the railroad hands and the
Mexican population of FL Psso. This veil is
altogether too thin. The town of III Paso

customhouse. There Is mounted force
