1t is rather an alarming thing to be told
that the American people is promising to
develop into a toothless generation, and yet
this is what dentist of high repute says
Bad teeth are hereditary, and the only thing
that will save US is to live chiefly on grain
foods and good beef. The large amount of
molasses eaten by children of the poor is
a fruitful cause of bad teeth, and in this
respect it is pretty generally admitted that
rich peoples children have better teetn
than children of the poor.

The friends of Lieutenant Greely, of
Arctic fame, are extremely solicitous about
his health. They fear that he is declining
rapidly. He is now at his home in Massa-
chusetts, taking a rest for the benefit of his
health. His friends have urged him to
take years leave of absence and spend it
in some part of the country the climate OF
which is suitable to his state Of health. Mr..
Greedy had hoped to spend short time in
Europe, but poverty has prevented the ac-
complishment of his desire. 1t is asserted
that the failure of Congress to reward him
in substantial manner for his Arctic trip
has had a very depressing effect, both on
his mind and body.

a novelist of to-day tell the story of Grants
life; of the unpromising career at West
Point; the apparent lack of individuality in
the army; the failure as farmer the lack
of success as a business agent; the story OF
the days at the tannery, when, half clerk,
half porter, he seemed to have relinquished
of the succeeding twenty-five years; how
the hitherto luckless man rose step by step,
with rapidity almost incredible, to Gener-
al of the army, twice President, then for
wear the hOnored guest and associate Of the
greatest monarchs of the earth then let
him reduce the hero to poverty, and at his
death honor him with national funeral,
and the book would be laughed at as too
widely improbablet to he worth consideration.
The New Orleans Tmes-D s-Democrat tells
the following story. A prominent citizen
of Jones county, Miss, who stood high up
in the church, made visit to Meridian re-
Gently, and upon his return told his neigh
bors he had seen ice manufactured in that

1t soon became settled fact in the minds
of the members of the church that Brother

Charges were preferred against him, and a
committee Of church members were appoint

manufactured and returning home reported
to meeting of all the church members.
A look of establishment on the faces of the

of indignation, and Brother Blank and the
entire committee were incontinently en-
PEELED from the church.
