Considering the great Importance and
necessity of early attention of children's S
teeth, it is subject to which very lit
tie care or concern is given, although
it has very much to do with the welfare
and health Of the child, and it should
be the duty of every parent to inform
himself as to the proper method Of
treatment, and to do everything to pro-
mote the healthy development and
growth Of his children.


But how often it is the case, that
afr the troubles and trials, the long
weary hours Of watching and anxiety
accompanying the season of 'sirst dem
tition" or s'cutting seeth' are over,
the fond mother pays no furthor heed
to the teeth and especially so if no
complaint comes from the child, Of pain
or Inconvenience, and even by the most
careful aud attentive parent, the little
teeth are left good, bad, or Indifferent,
without thought Of the further duty
to be performed, OF that careful and
proper attention would add greatly to
health and preservation, and how often
is the dentist called upon by the care
full mother, to extract one. or more of
the little teeth which have become de-
cayed, for fear, as she says that they
will ache, and also to "make room' for
the second teeth. Indeed this is quite
a common idea, but it is a great mis-
take.


Some of you will perhaps remember
Of having tooth extracted which of
course left wide space, but which after
time grew to be less and less, until
finally there was scarcely any space at
all, caused from contraction or absorp-
ton of the jaw, and in the child this
process is much more rapid so that the
teeth are extracted long before they
would naturally have been shed, there
is just SO much less room for the second
teeth, and the frequent cases Of irregu-
larity and unsightly appearance Of the
teeth, and the great promine nee of the
"eye-teeth, sometimes called "tushes''
is in a measure caused by this error in
the early extraction of the infant teeth.


1t will doubtless appear absurd to
some that it is necessary to fill the
temporary OR baby teeth, but it is true,
and experience and observation have
taught that it is very beneficial.


At the first appearance of decay, the
teeth should be treated and filed and
just the same care and precaution taken
in their preservation as with second
teeth. Some might say "My child
could not endure the pain of having the
teeth prepared and filed" But for
tunately the skillful dentist can make
the operation perfectly painless and by
a simple and harmless method, and by
proper management and kind treat
ment Of the child, all dread and fear
can be entirely overcome. The same
is true with the teeth of adults.


Cleanliness with the teeth should be
strictly attended to, and the child
should early be instructed to use the
brush, and if the mother were to take a
thread and careful draw it between
the teeth frequently, it would be q
source Of benefit, and in many cases
assist in arresting and preventing de-
cay.

There arc six hundred Republican
editors who hold office under Grant,
and each Of them publishes an article
showing how unanimous the people arc
for Grant. Then each one publishes
the 500 articles that appear in the 9TH
er papers. For instance the Republi-
can Leader of La Crosse, publishes an
article from the Racine Journal, show
ing that the people of Racine support
Grant as one man. The Journal is
edited by the postmaster Of Racine.
Then the Postmaster Of Racine publish
es an article from the Republican
Leader, edited by Assessor Taylor and
Postmaster Seymour, and contributed
to by Pension Agent Kellogg, and
Deputy Assessor Taylor, and Land
Officer Burton, etc, showing that the
Republicans here are unanimous for
Grant with the exception Of ''few
Liberals" who don't amount to any
thing particularly. Thus you see

The effect of the Administration rule
in the South is better shown in the
case of South Carolina than that of any
other Southern State. There, more

their purest essence. No American
commonwealth was ever sunk 30 low as

This new enterprise is now fairly under way
and we can do nothing less than predict for it a
grand success. Mr. d. r. Samuel the pro-
pretor, is a man of untiring energy, which is
one of the pre-re luisites TO success in any busi
ness. as a matter of course-his hands all
being unskilled in the use of the various
Inachines-his operations at the beginning must
necessarily be rather on the small scale. For
instance, he now works about ten hands, who
turn out only 100 kegs per day, when the same
number of hands, when properly trained, can
easily turn out 400 kegs per day-nearly treble
the amount they now make. His machinery
works splendidly, with capacity Of preparing
the material for at least 500 Kegs per day with
running order as yet, but will be in a
few days when be can take large log, saw it
up into blocks for slaves and blanks for bottoms
and tops. These blocks are taken and put to a
saw which has just the shape of keg, and
which saws out the slaves in perfect shape,
when they pass through another saw to straight
en- the edges and afterwards through a machine
which cuts them into proper lengths and cuts
the grooves for the bottoms and heads. The
panks are cut into square pieces by another saw,
after which they pass through another machine
which rounds and tongues the heads almost in
the twinkling Of an eye. An ordinary hand,
with but little experience, can turn out at least
1000 heads in day, with perfect ease, while an
expert hand can turn out nearly double that
amount. His bet saw, for scroll work, etc.,
works admirably, as also does his planer. In

We publish elsewhere n very valuable
article on the comparative cost of manu-
featuring cotton yarns and sheetings in
the South and North, The figures are
given in detail, and show very clearly that
there is an immense saving in the manu-
facture in favor of the South. The figures
and facts stated in that article apply with
slight notifications as well to most
other branches of manufacturing. The
comparative cost Of living in the South
and North is as true in case of miners and
machinists rs of cotton spinners. The
fact is that this feature of life in the South
can only be appreciated by those who have
experienced colder climate. The extreme
cold and protracted winters of the North
are not only far more trying upon
the health of workingmen than the
long summers of our latitude, but the
difference in the length and severity of
the winters make marked difference in
the cost of living to the worHingmen. The

turing in South Carolina the advantages
are not greater than in iron and wood
shops in East Tennessee. We have in
these great staples as many advantage
over most sections of the North as South
