Good Teeth and Their Cause.
From tha netroit Freo pross

From the Detroit Free Press
A Utica(N. w. dentist, who went
through car of emigrants the other day
while they were engaged in eating their
dinners, declared that they all had sets
of sound white teeth, evenly grown and
well planted, and not tooth brush
among them. He attributed it TO their
eating only coarse food and foregoing
sweets, whereby they avoid the acids
thereby generated. This is an excellent
theory, but is contradicted by the fact
that negroes eat any quantity Of sugar
and have excellent teeth. The true rea-
son is that the general physical health
and constitution of those who live ont
of doors and live simple have better
physical developments than those who
10 not. Their bones, their muscles, and
all the organs and parts depending up
on nutrition are sounder and stronger.

monstrous pefa1oation


New York Special: The absence of Paying
Teller Scott from his desk in the bank of the
Manhattan company at 40 Wall street, caused
anxiety, which led to a meeting of the direct
ors, and hasty examination of his accounts.
II required but little time to find that he
had left a deficit OF s160,6l0.42. The
manager of the clearing house was at
once notified of the fact and at the came time
Informed that the bank had surplus, after
deducting this amount, of s925, coo over its
capital of 81 050, 900. This is all the infOrma-
ton that can be obtained, and this comes in au
official way. Nj. Hays, the president of
the b-nk, was seen at his residence at
midnight The defaulting letter is Rich
ard s SCOTS Mr. HAYS says that a
messenger was sent to SCOTS house by the Of
fieers Of the bank, but neither Scott nor his
wife was at home Mrs Scott was finally found,
but she said she knew nothing about her hus-
bands whereabouts, and supposed he was at
the bank
AT the first examination of the book, said
Mr. Hays, ave could find no false entries in his
books but after we had counted the gold we
found that he had charged us with just as much
more gold as is the amount of the defalcatiOna
By this, of course the books we're made TO bal
ance exactly Mr.. Scott is about forty-fve
years of age, and has been connected with the
bank for twenty years, his salary being about
$4,000 | am not positive of the exact sum He
has always borne good reputation"

The Chicago Tribune adheres to its
pessimist views in respect to the wheat
crop. 1t insists that the yield of winter
wheat viii not exceed 300, O00, 900 bush
els, and that Of spring wheat will not
be equal to the crop of 1884, indicating
$50, 600, 900 bushels as a liberal estimate
Of the total product The general av-
erage Of estimates at present would
probably fall between the limits of $780,
600, 900 and $50, 600, 900 bushels.

Archbishop Guibert against the ''descration'
of the Pantheon by its preparation for the re-
ception of the body of Victor Hugo, NJ Goble
says:
He (the archbishop exceeds the rights Of his
episcopacy III the feeling he has exhibited al

the Pantheon to its original purpose-a receipt
acle for the remains of the really great mon of

zen toward the government you are not
authorized, says NJ Goblet, by any preroga-
tive of your office to discuss the acts of the
government" Goblet reminds the archbishop
that his present attitude is not likely to render
more harmonious than they now are the re-
lations of church and state.

Period ofCommercial stagnations.

Bradstreets Journal in its commercial sum-
mary will say: The past week shows an in
creased depression in general trade. The
stoppage Of the iron mills of the West cannot
fail to act as further drag on trade The
volume of merchandise moved is not large, the
demand for fall goods is below. an
ticipations, and in transportation circles
freight rates are lower than ever. Lake
freights are as low as ever before
and yet tonnage and cars are idle
The demand for the produce does not exist
even at the very low cost of delivery The
banks at Eastern and Western centers CON
tnue to accumulate funds Interest rates at
the interior are lower than ever before, and in
still other ways there are evidences of &C
cumulating idle commercial machinery. The
dry goods market is dull, and jobbers do not
express any reasonable hope for any improve
ment during the month.
