Tarboro, May 5, 187G. . & . v ru tmnTATii GCERIES July 23, 1S76 Having a Tooth Pulled. The toothache thut misery to which all o an kind are subject comes upon you stealthily, by de grees, like a northeast rain storm in the mouth of November. Generally you iiet cold in the first place, nd your head is sore, and yoir ears are full of bells and your jaws are stiff, and your gums begin to swell and make themselves uncomfortably prominent, and feel as if every tooth in your head had started out an inch or so, and as if it would be a relief to take a ham mer and drive them back again. Pretty soon the toothache sets in as if it meant business. It grows fiercer and fiercer with each suc ceeding moment, and by the time it has had you in its merciless grip for two days you cannot tell which particular tooth on 'that side' aches most. They are all in sympathy, and each one seems trying to outdo the other. Oi' course, vou have tried scores of remedies. Hot drops, and cay enne, and Pain Killer, and salt and i alum, and catnip poultices, and camphor, and laudanum, and oil of cloves, and any number of the of no standard remedie3 but ail avail. By this time your nerves are 'all oa edge,' aud the slighest unaccus tomed noise is agony. Bat nobody seems to thing anything about that. The doors are slammed, it seems to you, as they were naver slammed before, and the dust-pan is being continually knocked down, aud the poker is constantly obeying a well knoffn law of gravitation and tum bling into the grate, and tho house- maid rattles the crockery and sings snatches of revival melodies iu a j way that makes you wish you lived in an absolute monarchy, and that I you were the absolute monarch, so ! that you could order your chief ex i ecutioner to bring you that annoy ing female's head on a pike. It you venture to suggest to any person the propriety of making less noise about the house he wi'l laugh i a: you and advise you net to be ! nervous and hava the hysterics over the toothache. .Nothing but the toothache ! Nothing indeed. After about a week's intermittent agony the dreadful truth is forced home to you. That tooth mu3t be extracted. There is nothing more to bo done. You feel weak in the knees and the cold perspiration bedews your forehead at the thought. Every one you meet pretends to sympathize -with you, and he will tell you in detail just how it wa3 with him on a smilar occasien, and end with the cheerful sures tion that cold iron is the thing for it. Aud he will supplement this suggestion with the information that it will probably nearly take your head off it will be only For a minute. After lighting numerous conflicts with yourself you tie your face up in a handkerchief and start for Dr. Pullhard's. Before you haye got halfway there your tooth ceases to ache, but your temper i3 up, and you resolve to set it out literally. Dr. Pullhard is not in, but he will return soon, the attendant in forms you, and he shows you iuto the operating-room to await the doctor's coming. You can amuse yourself by look ing at the marble slabs under the window where the instruments cf the doctor's profession are ranged in tidy rows,- interspersed at inter vals bv urper sets of teeth on gold j plate, and under sets cn vulcanite, I and single teeth on pivots and teeth dravn from the jaws ot some wretched human victim, which, be injr 'hard cases,' the doctor has thought worthy cf preservation for future reference. There is generally a very yellow skull, set with very yellow teeth, on one of the shelves, and if it is any satisfaction to you in your pre sent state of mind, you can look at the formation of the jaws and study their articulations, and repeat for your edification tho well-worn truism, 'VVe are fearfully and won derfully made.' The more you look at that formi- dable array of instruments, the more it seems ag if thoy were laughing at you ;ud making a mock of YOUl misery; and you feel like challeng ing that ginger-haired attendant for daring to whistle 'Whero'd i2osanna Gone,' as he puts the bottles of ether and chloroform m order, and arranges the spittoons, of which there are a half-a-score, more to his liking, Bv-and-by Dr. Pullhard arrives, brisk and smiling. lie is glad to see you, and says it is a fine morn ing, and asks what he can do for vou in a very animated tone of voice, and he washes his hands, and slips into a darty dressing-gown, and fingers among those derisive instruments, and politely invites you to take a seat in a green cush ioned chair ot torture, rriday When once he has got vou there, he lets down the back of the chair and your head drops back, and ho sticks his fingers, which taste of scented scap, between your lips, and be puts his head so that his breath strongly flavored with card air.an seeds puffs' into your face, and ask you if it is a cuspid or a molar. lie goes over your teeth in two minutes. He sticks a probe here and there, and tells you that four of your teeth need filling; two more aYe on tho point of ulceration, and he says there is a dreadful accumul ation of tartar, and mentions the fact that Pullhard's Pre-eminent Tooth Pasta will remove all dis colorations and parasitical forma tions in tea days, or the money will be refunded. Then he fixes on the tooth tell3 you to open your mouth wider seizes your head undsr his arm flourishes his forceps before your shrinking eyes, and, though you struggle and choke, it is in vain. One desperate wrench the top of your head seem lifting off i thousand comets dance before your vision there is a noise in your ears lika the thunder of the suri'on a ice shore, and then the doctor trium phantly holds aloft the bleeding cause of all agony, and announces in the tones of a victor the welcome truth : 'it's out !' And 3'0u ri.-e from your seat feeling faint at the stomach, and limber in the hack, and if a load of haj had been driven through the enormous cavity which you have always thought was a very delicate and well-formed mouth; but your heart is light, ant? you feel, if pos sible, about ten times happier than a boy with his first pair of pant loons. Kate Thorn Character and Dsstiny of the Jevrs. In George Eliot's Daniel Der ondi, Book VI, to Harper s Mag azine for August, Mordecai, the Hebrew enthusiast, thus expresses the conception cf tho character and destiny of his race: "Where else is there a nathn of whom it nay Oo truly said that their religion and law and moral life mingled as the stream of bh od in the heart and made one growth where else a people who kept and enlarged their spiritual store at tho very time when they were hunted with a hatred as fierce as the forest fires that chnsa the wild beast from bis covert? There is a fable of the Roman that, swimming to save his life, he held the roll of his writings between his teeth, and saved them from the waters. But how much more than that is true of our race ? Th?-y struggled to keep their place among the nations like heroes yes, when the hand wa3 hacked off, they clung with the teeth ; but when the plow and the harrow had passed over the last visible signs of their national convenant, and the fruitlessness of their land was stifled with tho blood of their sowers and planters, they said, "The spirit is alive, let us make it a lasting habitation last ing because movable so that it may be carried from generation to and our sons unborn may be rich in tho things that have been, and possess a hope built on an unchangeable foundation. They said it and they wrought it, though often breathing with scant life, as in a coffin, or as lying wounded amid a heap of Siain. llooted and sacred like the unowned dug, the iebrew made himself enviel for his wealth and wisdom, and wa3 bled of them to fill the bath of Gen tile luxury, he absorbed knowledge, ho diffused it ; his dispersed race was a new Phoenicia working tho mines of Greece and carrying their products to the world. The native of our tradition was not to stand still, but to use records as a seed, and draw out the compressed virtues ot law and prophecy, and while the Gentile, who had said, "What is yours in ours, and no lon ger yours, was reading tne letter of our law as a dark inscription, or vras turning its parchments into shoe scles for an army rabid with lust .-nd cruelty, our Masters were still enlarging and illuminating with fresh-fed interpretation. But the dispersionwas wide, the yoke of oppression was a spiked torture as well as a load ; tho exile was forced afar among brutish people, where the conciousncss of his race was no clearer to him than the light of the sun to our fathers in the Roman prosecution, who had their hiding place in a cave, and knew not that it was day save by tho dimmer barning of their candlea. Only two centuries sines a vessel carried over the ocean the begin ning of the great American nation. The people grew like meeting waters ; they were various in habit and sect. There came a time, a century ago, when they needed a polity, and there were herces of peace among them, vyhat had they to form a polity with but memories of Europe, corrected by the vision of a better ? Let our wise and weal thy show themselves heroe3. They havo the memories of the East aud West, and they have th full vision of a better. A new Persia with a purified religion magnified itself in art and wisdom, bo will a now Judaea poised between East and West a conveant of reconciliation. j Will any say the prophetic vision of your race has ' been hopelessly mixed with folly and bigotry ; the angol of progress has no message for Judaism it is a half buried city for the paid workers to lay open che waters are rushing by it as a forsaken field ? I say the strongest principle of growth lies in human choice. The sons of Judah have to choose that God may aain choose them. The Messianic time is the time when Israel shall will the plan ting of the national ensign." Border Life, Present and Past. Tho terrible fate of Custer and his gallant three hundred adds an other tragic chapter to the great book of Border events, whose begin ning dates from the earliest settle ments of our country, whose end will be only when the Indians as a race shall have become extinct. Tho horrors of the Modoc cam paign are yet fresh in our memories. The historic Lava Beds, Indian cunning baffling the skill of our sol diery for so long a time, savage malignity and treachery culmina ting in the death of the brave Can by and others whose mission was honorably treaty and peace all these are still remembered with a shudder. Their parallels in device and atrocity arc only found in the deeds that compose the history of the "Dark and Bloody Ground," or among those which mark the bloody tracks of the treacherous Mingoes, descending frm their Great Lake fastnesses upon the un suspecting tribas and settlements of the Susquehanna- and Alleghany. So with this heart-rending story of Custer and his men, which has been sprung upon the country so suddenly, and which is being read amid tears of sorrow and calls for vengeance, from one end of the land to the other. Some may find its parallel in the history of Leonidas and his three handled; some may seek for like sacrifices amid the an nals of the Scottish Chiefs or Pali, ish Patriots. But it is only, when nv-j turn to tho thrilling of our old Border historv that we read and re read, in intensified ferra., the bloodv story of Rose Bu 1 Bi ' Horn Rivers. Custer and his three hun dred, ambushed b' a wily foe and melting away in death before odds rendered doubly and terribly for midable by bewildering shrieks and stealthy mole of fighting, recall with vivid effect tho tragedy of Bradock's Field, whoso details are so graphically and fully narrated in that wonderful book, "Our Western Border One Hundred Years Ago." Or if other parrallels be sought, they abound in the same brilliant, stiring and faithful volume ; for Custor and Big Horn, Canby and tho LaAa Beds, Modoc and Sioux, are but repetitions, now fainter, now fiercer, of Dalzoll and Bloody llun, Crawford and Battle Island, Harmer and vhe Miami Towns. The new story, whether of victo ry or defeat, massacre or escape, cunning or adventure, treachery or dash, hardship or retreat, is but an epitome of tho old filled with its quaint and primitive portraitures, haloded about by thrilling tradi tions, and sanctified to us by the facts that our fathers wero a part of it and these our dwelling-places were scones ia the midst of it.

A lady traveler writing about sleeping cars and her experience on the same, says : A woman's toilet, to be satisfac torily performed, demands some oth er position than prone upon the face. Likewise, it is somewhat more agreeable to perform portions of the toilet unobserved by the multitude. Men cither are not burdened with modesty, or they have mindg that soar so high above the feminine that they givo no thought ta the embarrassment attendant upon the method and manner of disorbing one's 3elf in those quarters. A woman carefully extinguishes her self behind the curtains, slyly un loosens the lace, envelopes herself decorously in a large -water-proof, not daring to lay asida her chignon for fear of a surprise, and proceeds to bestow herself away uncomforta ble and depressed. The stranger in the bunk above leisurely divests himself of his outer garments, pulls on boots, loosens suspenders, and bounds into bed with graceful ease, rather enjoying the situation. 1 think if there could be a ladies' car for sleeping and toilet exclusive of gentlemen, it would bo a great ad vancement in wayfaring civilization. 1 thought so this morning, especial ly, when I awoke from uneasy slumbers to Gad the foot fallen, and a serene browed mea gazing smill- inglj upon my Bleeping beauty. Let us have separate cars, good peo ple, and we can ask nothing more of you in the" way ofIuxu.ry and restful. -J Ths Lord's Prayer. - When the elder Booth was resid ing in Baltimore, a pious, urbane old gentleman of that city, hearing of his wonderful power of elocution, one day invited him to dinner, al though always deprecating the stage and all theatrical performances. A large company sat down at the table, and on returning to the drawing room one of them asked Booth, a3 a special favor to them all, to repeat the Lord's Prayer. Jin signified willingness to gratify them, and all eyes were fixed upon him. He . slowly and reverently arose from hisjehair, trembling with the burden of two great conceptions. Ho had to realize the character, attributes and presence of the Al mighty Being he was tu address. He was to transform bin in to a poor' sinning, stumbling, benighted, needy supplicant, offering homage, asking bread, pardon, light &nd guidance. Say3 one of the com pany who was present, 'It was wonderful to watch the play of omo tion which convulsed his counten ance. He became deathly pale, and his eyes turned tremblingly up-ward, wet with tears. As yet he had not spoken. The silence could be felt; it had become abso lutely painful until at last the spell was broken as if by an electric shock, as his rich toned voice sylK abled forth, "Our Father, which art in Heaven," etc.. with a pathos and fervid solemnity which filled all hearts, He finished; the silence continued; not a voice was heard, not a muscle moved ia his rapt audience until, from a remote cor ner of the room, a subdued sob was heard, and the old gentleman (the host) stepping forward with steam ing eyes and tottering frame, seized Booth by the hand. 'Sir,' said he, in broken sobs, 'yon have afforded me a pleasure for which my whole future life will be grateful. I am an old man, and every day of my life from my boyhood to the present time, I have repeated the Lords Prayer, but I have never heard it before, never !' 'You are right,' replied Booth, 'to read that prayer as it ought to be read caused me the severest study aud labor for thirty years, and I am far troni be ing satisfied with my rendering of that wonderful production. Hard ly one person in ten thousands knows how much beauty, tender ness and grandeur can be condens ed in a space so simple. The prayer itself suCicieatly illustrates tho truth of the Bible, and stamps upon it the seal ef divinity. v What the Grangers Have Done. They have- broken tho power aud combinations of the pork packers, they started out the past fall as they did the fall before, to buy pork at about $3 expecting to get double the prico when they sold, as they did last year but the grangers were too sharp for them this time, they said rather than sell at .those low prices wo will pack our own pork. So all over the west, the grangers combined, determined to pack unless they could get what their pork was honestly worth. Pork came in slow, not fast enough to meet the demands of packers, The grangers went to putting up their own tork. The packers be came alarmed, and thojight they had better make smaller profits and so commenced offering higher pri ces. The grangers were firm, reso lute, and insisted on fair prices, and toe packers were compelled to pay them. Tho farmers have triumphed over tho CJiubinations to wrong them. Millions ot dollars have been saved to them than otherwise would have been. They needed the money, and have got it. They were entitled to it and got only what was their due. The farmers can combine on a larg er and a grander scale than any other class when it becomes neceE sary. New York Times. He Might Have Bean. Yesterday morning, as a well dressed citizen was crossing the City Hall grounds, a thick-set and very determined woman called on him to stop. Ho halted, and as she hurried up ehe asked : 'Do you keep a Httb store oa bixth avenue : 'No, ma'am, 4. don t, nor a 0 store either.' 'Don't 30U lie to m !' she wheel ed, blocking his way 'Lie to you ! Why, don't yon know who I am?' 'I think I do. I think you are the reprobate who sold my sn John a little, dried up old corset without any lace holes in the back, making him believe that it was one of those new-fashioned bustles !' 'Madam, I am not in the corset business great iZoavens ! no !' exclaimel tho man. 'You are the same man he de scribed short, blue eyes, faded whiskers; and large cars ! Don't think to deceived me ! Don't think that because I'm an old woman I can't make a terrible example of yon! 'You are simply mistaken, ma' am," he said, waving his hand and starting of. 'There's guilt that proves it 1 she shouted, making after him. . He saw her on his trail 'and ho " skipped into the Hall and disap peared from sight before she enter ed. She cntcrel all the room3 on the first floor in k. her . search, - and ' when she realized that ho had avaded her she unrolled the corset, slammed it against the wall, and remarked to the laughing crowd : 'Gentlemen, you may laf and tickle and grin, but the pirate who swindled my innocent boy has got a panther on his trail, and ho'd better look out for claws I :d on Blaine. The proprietor of a Gratio aven uo saloon won't vote for James G. Blaine, says M. Quad, and that is a settled fact. Some raen wcro yesterday seeking to ascertain the cause cf his animosity toward Maine's 'favorite son,' and he ex plained : 'You see, vhen I vhas keeping zaloon in Buffalo, dot Mr. Plaino come aroundi und dook sum drink, und he nefer bail me.' 'Oh, that cant be this Blaine,' replied one of the men; 'this Blaine is a temperance man.' 'Zo, vhas this Plaine,' was tho calm reply. 'I can shut remem ber as blain p-.s day how ho bourcd dot whisky down his throat und groaned over some increase of in deempcranco.' 'But this Blaine is James G. Blair.fi,' they protested. 'I can't help dot; 1 didn't nam) him. Dot Plaine. who owes me, is named Shames. Vhen I ask for my pay ho says: 'Sharge dose drinks to S.'iiai Plain und walkt right out.' 'Yon must le mistaken.

You have g !. two Blades mixed up. 1I(.t- is a picture efd.unes G. Blaine. See if he is the man who played dead beat on you.' The saloonist glanced at it, hand ed it back and suid : '7e is dor zame man, only ho hits a glean .shirt on and is more pald-licaded as he was den. No use, shentlemen. hen some lection times conie round! again I will boll 1113 voto for dc O'ler mans.' A Good Etf.3. The best rule for Christian peo pie to observe is to tell folks of only what will give them pleasure. Whoever speaks a word that causes a heartache, sins. Who ever dis turbs the peace and tranquility of a mind, even by rehearsing any perambulating gossip, lesseri3 the joy of a life to whose joy it is his duty, in Jurist, lo minister Life is shoit,. and joys too few, for us to mar tho peace of the one, or lessen the number of the other. If any reader of these lines has been in the habit of telling people unpleas ant things', wo sincerely hope tho perusal of this article will cause him to stop doing so. Th: Two i;:n. The St. Louis llcpubli'rm records' this as its estimate of the difference in the candidates: "If Hayes is a man of no faults, Tilden is a man oi creat merit?. If ayes would do no harm, Tilden would do a great deal of good. If ayes is a personally honest man, Tilden is more ho is tho enemy of dishonest men. Hayes is a 'good Republican,' who can bo implicitly relied on to .It whatever the party leaders re- quu-e, and 1-javc undone whatever they disapprove. Tilden is a wilful Democrat, who will do right wheth er the party approves it or not. These are the tvo mon that the country must choose between." Ci:i:i: ro:t Con:c.s.
