DRNTITIoN IN CHILDREN-lf the child |
is healthy and properly reared, denti-
ton should not cause much distur.|
bance to the system. If the child is
feeble and not rightly fed there may
be trouble and danger. It is very
fashionable to ascribe to teething|
nearly all the troubles that occur dur
ing it's. progress, but this must be re-
ceiyed with much allowance. The fol-
lowing is the order of the appearance
of the teeth: 'f9aa


From the fifth to the seventh month
the two lower front teeth. From the
ninth to the eleventh month the four
upper front teeth. From the thirteenth
to the fifteenth month two more lower
teeth, adjoining those which came first,
and the four first pre-molars. This
makes twelve in ALL From the six
teenth to the twentieth month the four
canine teeth. Those in the upper jaw
come first. From the twentieth to
the thirtieth month come the second
pre-molars. 81


In case of poorl y-',ourished children
the teeth do not appear as soon, or il
they do they are apt to be bad. The
second dentition begins about the sixth
year. The best treatment is good hy'
gienic care, rest, sleep, and caution
about the diet, and the avoidance ol

MATT CARPENTER thinks Grant will
run for, a third term and be beaten.
4 d correspondent having asked the
Wisconsin Senator what he thought
of the third term business, received
the following reply:


"In my opinion Gen. Grant will be
the candidate Of the Republican party
for, third term. / can see no possi-
BILE way of avoiding it. He will un-
doubtedly be the candidate Of the Re-
publicans next year on a hard-moneyed
platform. This situation affords him
the exact pretext he wanted, and to
which he referred when he wrote his
third term letter as circumstances not
likely to occur l think Judge David
Davis of the United States Supreme
Court will be the Democratic candi-
date on greenback platform, and
that greenbacks will win" The arri-
val Of the train at Oshkosh interrupt
ed the conversation and prevented the
correspondent from pursuing his in
terrogatories, which thus far had
proved to him a political bonanza.
Enough was learned, however, to ena-
BILE him to state that Mr.. Carpenter
does not think that the professed oppo-
sition of the Republicans to third
term will have any weight in the Ma
tional Convention; that Grant will be
renominated and placed upon hard
money platform, and that the weight
of the platform will carry him and his


party down to sure destruction.

The rain had been falling Tor hours upon hours

And drearp and cherries seem ia each living thing
A cloud had come over my spirits and gloom
With a deep shade Of sadness, as the shade OF IN

And the heart can DO nothing butsigh and complain
The morning had dawnod. uthow dreary and chill,
A mist In the valley. fog on the hill,
And away on the mountain the tireless wind
Reared sorroNful dirge to my sorrowful mind.
Sad memories swept er me- sweet scenes ofthe past
Many dark days, some bright ones in life lonely


waste


Sweet echos of music sad waings Of pain,
Came o cr my lone heart on that dark day of rain.
But somehow there came n sweet whisper of love
As gentle and soft as the wing of dove;
How it touched my sad spirit cannot explain.
Yet il turned into sunshine my hearts dreary rain.
o the peace ofthat moment, wish | could tell,
But the language Of mortals can never reveal
Twas a foretaste of hcaven-a message of love
Sent down to me there from the bright world above.
Ny spirit lay still as an infant at rest,
All murmurings were hushed, every care of my


breast


@ how sweet to the lone heart distracted with pain
Comes the sunshine Of peace after dark days Of rain,
Far away in Che future my spirit descres
A region Of sunlight. whore clouds never risc
There hope to reposc from all sorrow and pain,
Forever safe housed from the storm and the rain.

CHANGES IN Town PoMoE.-There was
change in the town police on the first of
January, Altimore Macnair and George
Bell, both cslored, succeeds Harry Red
mond and Bill Battle, Jim Simonson being
retained by the Board of Commissioners.
We presume the discharge was occasioned
ON account of neglect of duty. Altimore
and Bell both seem to he giving satisfaction
and are regarded as an improvement upon
those whose places they fill. A gentleman
living in the lower end of Main street, in
forms US that since they have been on duty,
that most disreputsble of all places, Grab
All, has been quieter than at any time since
the war, particularly on Saturdays. Ne
groeS living or 10 miles in the country
have been occasioned to come to town ha-

gate on Grab All to revel, making them
selves nuisance to the citizens in the

we understand, broken up this practice,
and few who attempted on last Sabbath to
get up dog fight were promptly dispersed
by Altimore. This speaks we'll for him
and we hope he will keep it up.


p There seems to he prevailidg idea with
some that the limits of the town extend

the ceremony; the snow, rain, mud and

found the friends anxiously awaiting his

SOCIAL ENTERTAINMENTS. Social en-

more agreeable year after year. The
elaborately unsuccessful attempt to en-

is so no longer. Guests are allowed to
wander about as they choose, talking to
whom they please, or not talking at all,
as suits them best; and, beyond a care

persons as she thinks have kindred tastes

Mr.. Evarts here announced that the de-
fense rested. Mr.. Beach rose and said that
it was due to his side to state that they
made no objection to the other side pro-
ducing Mrs. TlltOn IN this suit, and waive
all objections and interpose no barrier to it,
although she was an incompetent witness
under the statute. Then they consented on
their part that the other side could use Mrs.
Tilton as witness. if they desired to do So.
Mr.. Hvarts said it had never been a seri-
GUS question with them whether Mrs. Tilton
would he a witness, as they knew the law
was against it. Now if Mrs. Tilton could at
any time have been admitted there were
grave questions to be considered, and if his
client needed any further evidence it would
be his duty to address such evidence They
had not been brought to any point in which
they were led to consider the force of the
evidence.


Mr.. Beach said that in his view of the
poncy Of the law counsel was mistaken in
the intent OF the law as to the proprjety of
the law IN allowing wife to defend herself.
1t was not the policy of the law to forbid
that adverse position, but he only mentioned
this matter first, SO that if counsel desired
TO produce this lady they were at perfect
liberty to do So


Mr.. Evarts said that he did not believe
the consent OF counsel, in opposition to the
law, made wife competent witness.


Judge Nelson said there was no question
about the allowableness of the other side to
offer this lady as a witness. 1t would be a
very trying position for her to be place d in,
and, on the whole, he was glad that the
lady was not offered as witness.
