why" said prominent dentist to
New York Norniag Journal reporter.
"a beautiful young lady came to me
and insisted on having her really fine
teeth pulled out and false ones put in
their place. l protested that it would
be foolish, silly, senseless; but she
said no; she would have them out, and
if would not do it some other dentist
would. MY teeth are not fashionable,
said she; they are too long, and short
little broad teeth, like corn kernels,
are all the fashion now, aud no one
admires my mouth, and l will have
them So | made her the teeth, and
they cost her just 5000. She couldn't
see anyone for two weeks after |
pulled her own. They were the upper
ones only, ard l made them up
with gold plates for handsome
young fellow who had his own teeth
knocked out in baseball game. The
worst of il is that he is in love with
this very girl whose teeth he wears,
and she knows they are hers. Just
ponder On that"

NOTED criminals in America have
their photographs taken and hung ia
the Rogue's Gallery" In China
they take impressions of the thumbs
nnstead. On the ball of the thumbs,
and of the fingers, also, may be found
a kind of spiral, formed of fine grooves
in the skin. These lines often run i'm.
to each other, and it is claimed thatthe
thumbs on each hand perfectly match
each other, hut those of two individu-
ais are never precisely alike. So
when Chanaman falls into the hands
Hf the native police, ,lhe first thing dane
lis TO take an impression of his thumb
by dipping 1T into printers ink and
then pressing it on a piece of white
paper. This is stored away to be
brought forth if the man is arrested
again and anything is needed to prove
'his identity. Queer people are the
Chinese.

Gov. McEnery is rapidly gaining
strength and popularity all over the
State. The efforts OF his personal
enemies to injure him by utilization
and slanderous attacks have had
a contrary result, and after each
charge made against him, followed,
asst is, by full and complete vim
dication, he stands forth to-day the
most popular man in the State for
the position of Governor. The
campaign of SANDER has only had
the effect, SO far, of giving addi-
tional lustre to his name, and his
prospects for receiving the nomina-
ton are now brighter than ever.

Embracing on area of thirty-fy,
miles from east to west, and thirty
five to forty miles from north t.
south, with e population of eight tt
ten thousand inhabitants, let m.
call the attention of our people tt
the following subject:
On the first Monday in Deem
Der, 1854, THE Worlds Industrial

will be opened in this city, and will
be continued until the 31st of May
following. Anything is a proper
object for exhibition that can be
classified under the head of agri.
culture, horticulture, raw and man.

woods, furniture and accessories,
textile fabrics, clothing, the indus

each State, and I feel no hesitancy
in bidding the world come and be.
hold the future of our State, when
they will see an almost endless dis
play of the cunning work" from
the deft hands of Louisiana's fair
daughters.
It is necessary that we should go
heart and soul into this great Ex-
position. Let each one contribute
what they can, in agricultural pro-
ducts, etc, of timber lands and To-
cation. Thousands of visitors will
wonder that such a country as ours
should lay undeveloped. Each in
dividual, each neishborhood and
each town is deeply interested in
this great. undertaking. There
should be an organization in every
pa ALL Al IuC oNAlC iol luc PURPOSE
of selecting proper representatives,
and for the collecting and forward
ing of everything that would direct
or attract the attention of strangers
to the climate, soil, productions and
resources of our State. Let each
parish in the State vie with the
others, and ecch individual in the
parish vie with other citizens in
having the best represented parish
1t the great Exposition.
I would suggest, and submit the
same for the consideration and APP
prevail of the citizens of the parish,
hat public meeting be held, at
such time and place as they may
decide upon, ard an organization
or this purpose be effected.

Our New Orleans correspondent
calls the attention Of the citizens of
St. Tammany to the Importance Of
having our parish properly repre-
sented at the Worlds Exposition
next year, and he very properly
suggests an organization for that
purpose. We hope our citizens
will give this subject their careful
attention. It is our duty to see
that our parish is well represented
on thai occasion, and there is no
time to lose.

A lucky find: The Las Vegas
Gazette says that J. @. Adams. who
is well known in Socorro county,
New Mexico, has sold q third in
terest in his late find for $4,000.
While prospecting, he found his
haversack on fire. his prospector's
glass having focused the SUMS rays
upon it. As the haversack con-
tanned six pounds of powder, he
dropped it and got out of the way.
It fell into a creyice and large
mass Of rock was blown up. Adams
turned mournfully to gather up
what might be left of his effects.
and found a rich vein of silver that
the explosion had exposed to view.

The end of the world, according
to the Moslems, was to take place
last Thursday. On that day the
sun was to rise in the West, and the
day of judgment and retribution
begin. As we are all here yet, it is
moro than probable that Moham-
med made a miscalculation in fixing
the day. Perhaps he used one of
last years almanacs. by mistake.
He ought to try again.

TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.
imes-Democrat.1

Despite tue ueaC ana eXcltemen
OF the canvass, the elections Tues
day passed over comparatively qui
city. There were the usual election
difficulties, but, Notwithstanding
the strained condition of affairs, nc
serious riots or disturbances of i'm.
portance are chronicled anywhere
The returns give both victories
and defeats, but, all things taken
into consideration, the Democrats
have every reason to feel gratitied
over the result, which places them
i'll good trim for the Presidential
contest.
In Connecticut, where the con-
test was over the Legislature, the
Republicans were successful, in
creasing their vote and their major
ity in the Legislature.
LII Maryland there appears to be
no reason for doubling the success
of the entire Democratic State ticket
by fair majorities. but fears are en-
tertained les. local squabbles may
have lost the Senate.
Some little surprise will be Gre
ated by the result in Massachusetts,.
The Butler tide had been running
strong for some time past, and the
immense registration, especially in
the strong Butler districts, PROM
ised well for the General. Never
has there been a more thorough or
warmer canvass, and the result is
shown in the largest vote ever poll
ed in "the Old Bay State" This
increase was fatal to Butler. His
vote was much larger than that
which elected him Governor, but
the vote for Robinson grew even
more, and the result is Buffers de-
feat. The contest, as we have
shown before. was purely personal
one. Butler had both Democrats
and Republicans supporting him,
while Robinson received not q few
Dem ocratic votes. The issue was
the administration of Butler as
Governor, and not one between Re-
publican and Democratic principles.
In Minnesota there is no reason
TO doubt that the Republicans are
successful.
In Mississippi the Legislature is
Of course overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic.
Nebraska, as usual, remains with
he Republicans.
New Jersey continues Demo-
'ratic, electing Leon Albeit Gov
,rnor.
In New York the entire Demo-
ratio State Ticket is elected, with
possibly one exception, Maynard,
lgainst whom a fight was waged on |
he liquor question.
In Pennsylvania a light vote was
asst, the Republicans losing in the |
Republican counties, and the Demo-
rats in the Democratic counties

The news from Virginia is most

rats have a majority in both
