llumoMusi gepariment, IN A DENTIST CHAIR. If Spivens is to be believed, there was recently an extraordinary case of dental surgery in this city. He says that a friend of his visited a dentist on Street, for the purpose of having a tooth extracted. It was an eye-tooth. Spivens accompanied his friend for the purpose of favoring him with a little sympathy over the shoulder. It is so pleasant to witness the agony of a friend, and to advise him to bear it like a man. The dentist seated his patient in a chair, lanced his gums, applied his forceps, and gave a vigorous pull. The tooth was torn 4W\m ita onnlrot nnrl p?mo nut. pnailv onrmtrVi but the root hung fire. Either it was an awful long root, or it stretched. In fact the dentist had exhausted his reach, and yet the tooth was not entirely out. Spivens ventured to inquire if the root was not unusually long; but that dentist was not going to admit that anything could happen that had not already occurred in his experience. "Not at all," he replied. "I have often extracted teeth whose roots reached down to the hips." He mounted a chair and took another tug. He thus succeeded in getting away with about a yard of the root, but the root continued to to hang. At the same time the patient's leg, below the knee, was violently jerked up. Spivens ventured to say that surely this was an unusual case. "It is a little singular," replied the dentist; "But I once pulled a tooth whose roots extended down to the man's knees." Having thus extinguished his questioner, he tied his patient to the chair and straightened out his le^s by putting it in splints. He then took his forceps over his shoulder, and walked away like a deck-hand going up a bank with a bow-line. When he reached the parlor door, he set his feet against the jamb and laid back for a final pull. .1 "1 . .1 * 1 ..X ll _ ine tootn popped out tnis time, dui tne dentist made the most noise when he reached the floor. Spivens jumped forward and picked up the latter end of the tooth. The root had two prongs, and on the end of each prong was a toe-nail. "That's what hurt you so," said Spivens, consoling his friend, whose screams had been somewhat annoying. "Never mind; it will be all the same a hundred years hence." "Don't you think, doctor, that this is rather the most unusual case that has ever happened in your practice ?" "I am inclined to believe that it is the most singular of its class," replied that imperturbable dentist; "but I once extracted a tooth for one of the Siamese twins, the roots of which extended through the bodies of both, and at the end was a corresponding tooth from the mouth of the other. It was a good thing for Chang, for whom the tooth was pulled, but bad for Eng, whose tooth happened to be sound." Spivens' friend had such a high respect for the dentist^ that he told him that he'd allow him to keep the tooth for his pay. Some incredulous people may accuse this story of being too thin; but they are mistaken?it is tooth out.?Detroit Press. HE WAS TROUBLED WITH BOILS. There was a sad expression on his countenance, and one could tell by the precision with which he trod, and the carefulness with which he avoided passing objects, and by the superhuman efforts he made to shrink himself up so that his clothes wouldn't fit him, that something was the matter. "Oo-o ! W hoop! Great G?uns!" he exclaimed as a man ran against him; "I'll choke you to death if you don't keep on your own side of the walk." "But a gentleman jostled me sir," stammered the man. "Hang the gentleman! Hang you!" exclaimed the irritated man ; "I've got two of 'em ; I've three of 'em; and when I get well I'll bust the man that busts them!" He laid his hand carefully on his thigh and limped away with tears in his eyes; but in turning to let a woman pass he ran against a hitching post. He grabbed the post and jerked and wrenched it from its place; kicked it out into the road, and then whacked it a^inst the pavement, and then started after the woman like a madman. "Madam," said he, as he overtook her in a dry goods store: "One word. I have upon ray thigh a circumscribed subcutaneous inflamation, characterized by a pointed pustular tumor, and suppurating with a central core. I have also one on the back side of my front side, and another one on?" "Git out!" shrieked the woman, whacking him with a bundle of calico : "git out or I'll call the perlice." "But I was going to say"? "Git out!" she shrieked. "That you!"? * . "Git out!" she yelled again. "Busted one of 'em" he finally ejaculated ; "and if I find out where you live I'll let your cow loose in your yard some washing day and let her chew up the whole of your petticoats and tread your sheets and pillow cases into the mud and break down your front gate." Then he slid out and was limping down the street when he slipped on a piece of ice and came down with an energy that startled all of the houses in that vicinity and shook the window panes in the stone fronts. There was a shriek and a long drawn wail, and a volley of oaths, and a variety of groans and sobs which attracted the attention of a kind hearted doctor, who took him into a drug-store and hung him across the back of a chair, where he writhed and wriggled until a boy, with a grocery cart, gave him a seat in a bushel basket and took him home. And now he walks the streets, And he hurls at all he meets Such sad smiles. And upon his ragged coat inert* is Hunting mis unci nuic, "I've got biles." Rochester Democrat. Poor Cider.?One afternoon, in a "DownEast" grocery store, an old man came in for a drink of cider. The grocer had some which, having been frozen and thawed several times, was about as poor a drink as could be found between here and the Black Hills. A glass having been poured out for him he drank it with the remark that it was "cussed poor cider." "Don't you know," said a veteran loafer, "the way they make that cider? They just set up a cask and throw rotten apples at it." "Well," said the man, as he slowly extracted three coppers from his wallet and paid for his drink, "they didn't hit it more'n once." A Hard Case.?"How much is my bill ?" inquired a sad eyed youth in a Chicago confectionery store the other day. The proprietor locked over his books a minute, and then replied, "Sixteen dollars and fifteen cents." As the young man drew forth his wallet to meet the account, he sighed deeply, and said, "I tell you this is tough." "How ?" so asked the confectioner. "0, she's gone back on me," "Who V* "0, she?the girl that ate all this candy," continued the unhappy youth ; "and I tell you it's hard to pay for so much sweetness after it's gone and soured on a fellow." The candy man acknowledged that it did seem kind of rough. Market Reports.?Mrs. Partington says she can never understand these 'ere market reports. She can understand how cheese can be lively, and pork be active?that is, before it's dead?and feathers can be drooping, that is, if it s raining; but how whiskey can be steady, or hops quiet, or spirits dull, she can't see ; neither how lard can be firm in warm weather, or iron unsettled, or potatoes depressed, or flour rising, unless there has been yeast put into it. JUpicattural Department. From the Rural Carolinian. THE USE OF SALT FOR STOCK. Recent inquiry has convinced us, that a majority of the stock of our country do not taste a grain of salt in a twelve month. That it is valuable and advantageous to all kinds of stock, even if considered simply as a condiment, we well know from experience. Our system is to throw a handful of salt to each plough animal and cow or sheep every Sunday morning. Why Sunday, you say ? Simply because that is a day of rest, and the animal will frequently lick at the morsel of salt half the day. If given during the week, the salt would get mixed in the food, and frequently prevent the animal from eating his meal in time to go to work when needed; for, however much they relish salt, it is usually taken in a delicate way. Reader, carefully peruse the following article from the New York Times, and then investigate the inquiry whether your employes have salted yours or their stock since last spring. Thousands of freedmen now own mules and horses and cows, and thousands ot such owners don't care for salt even in their own food, and of course can see no reason why their stock should have it. The regular use of salt has long been recognized by all feeders of cattle, and farm stock as of great benefit, if not of absolute necessity to their welfare. If we were to judge as regards the lower animals by what we know of the necessities of our own race, we should be well convinced that salt is essential to their health and growth. For ourselves, salt is one of the necessities of our existence, and the larger proportion of vegetable food, a3 compared with animal food that we consume, the more of it we need. It would, therefore, be reasonable to suppose that herbivorous animals require a certain supply of salt for the sustenance of their vital functions. But this matter has been so clearly and definitely, settled by abundant experience, that there is no room for doubt about it. Nevertheless, a very large portion of our stock are either deprived of salt altogether, except the insufficient quantity that the procure in their food, or are only very sparingly and irregularly supplied with it. Instead of a regular and stated allowance, the majority receive only a fitful and altogether insufficient one. How much of the disorder and disease with which farm stock is afflicted is due to this neerlect can hardlv be estimated; but doubtless the most of it is due to this cause. There is no question that many diseases to which horses, cattle, and sheep are liable could be prevented, were they permitted free access at all times to an adequate supply of salt. But of the peculiar necessities of the animal, the nature of salt, and the amount, of it required in a given time, there is a general want of accurate knowledge. Indeed, the ignorance of some farmers upon this important subject is astonishing. Cases have occurred in which, after their stock has been deprived of salt altogether for an unknown period of time, farmers have thrown to them several pounds at once?the sediment of their meat-barrels, for instance?and the animals, hungering for it, have partaken too freely and have been fatally poisoned. Few who give a regular supply of salt to their stock, are aware that when given in excess it is an acrid and irritant poison, which is rapidly fatal in its effects. i The blood, cellular tissues and bones of animals contain salt, and this must be supplied in their food. But a still greater necessity for it arises from the demands of the digestive organs. These require for their healthful action a large supply which, when their purposes are served, is not retained in the system but is voided in the secretions and the excre ments. All ot these contain salt in large pro-1 portions, and whether it exists m tnem as a necessary or an accidental constituent, it must be supplied in the food, or the animal suffers for the want of it. Every vegetable contains salt in varying proportions, and animals that < feed upon them derive a portion of their sup- i ply in that way. But this is not adequate to ( their needs. One hundred pounds of dry hay , contains six ounces of salt; one hundred pounds of clover contains five ounces; one hundred pounds of straw one and one-half ounces ; and one hundred pounds of fresh po- 1 tatoes or turnips one-tenth of an ounce. An i ox that consumes thirty pounds of hay daily thus takes in this food less than two ounces of , salt. But an ox voids in his urine 6ve ounces of salt in twenty-four hours, and besides this there is a further quantity voided in the dung 1 and in the perspiration from the skin, which has never yet been estimated, so far as we are 1 aware. It is very clear, however, that the salt contained in the food of an ox is altogether insufficient to supply the wastes of the body. The urine of the horse contains over five per cent, of saline substances, of which the largest portion is salt, and but a small quantity of this can be derived from the hay and grain he consumes. The cases of the pig and the sheep are very similar. Salt is a composite substance, and consists of three parts of chlorine combined with two parts of sodium, a silvery white metal, of which soda is an oxide. Salt is not composed in part of soda as is frequently supposed, but of the metal sodium itself, in the proportion mentioned. It is one of the most abundant substances existing in nature, being found everywhere, in all soils, from which it is being continually washed by the rains into the streams. By these it is conveyed into the_ocean, where it is constantly accumulating. That it is thus abstracted from the land is proved by the saltness of every lake which has no outlet, as our own Great Salt Lake and others similarly without an outflow. When taken into the stomach of an animal in large quantities it irritates the mucous membranes of the intestines, producing fatal inflammation and disorganization. In small quantities it facilitates decomposition, but in large quantities it is an antiseptic and a preservative of both vegetable and animal substances. It is therefore an aid to digestion when given in proper quantities, and assists the stomach and intestines in their operations. To discriminate the quantity needed for the different domestic animals, numerous careful experiments have been made. Recognizing the importance of the subject^ the French Government, not many years ago, commissioned a number of practical and scientific persons to investigate and report upon it. In their report the following scale was fixed upon as the minimum daily allowances for the different amounts in ordinary condition, viz : Ounces. For a working ox or milch cow 2 For fattening stall-fed oxen 24 to 44 For fattening pigs 1 to 2 For store sheep (double for fat sheep) 4 to <j For horses and mules 1 ? r-1 J_: c a ii. uernian uuir^umu iuuuu, auci mauj trials, that with two ounces of salt daily his cows gave the most milk. The careful chemist. and farmer Boussingault, once fed six steers for thirteen months in two lots, giving the same kind of fodder and water to each, but giving one lot one ounce and an eighth of salt daily, and to the other none. A remarkable difference was at once manifest. The first lot were all sleek, smooth-coated, and in perfect condition ; the other became rough, mangy, and ill-conditioned, and each weighed at the end of the test one hundred and forty | pounds less than those that had been supplied with salt. Not only is salt an agreeable and needful article of food, but it is in some diseases almost a specific remedy. For those parasitic j diseases, to which sheep are subject, such as ; the liver rot, (flukes in the liver,) verminous j bronchitis (worms in the bronchial tubes,) ; and worms in the stomach and intestines, salt ' is an unfailing remedy, as well as an effectual preventive. The irritating worms which sometimes infest the rectum of the horse are removed at once by an injection of a solution of one ounce of salt in a quart of water. But it is as a constant addition to the food that it ; is most useful as a preservative of the health i of our domestic animals. Mdwu'* ft part went. | [Original.] SAMUEL BACOT. During the revolutionary period of South ? Carolina, many were the deeds of heroic daring, and many were the sufferings which were endured with a fortitude that seems "almost incredible to us of the present day. In g, all sections of the State there were tories. bi Some of the tories were honest in not taking part with the patriot party ; others, and by Q far the greater number, were men of bad re characters. Jc In the history of the Whigs there is much to that is intensely thrilling, and much that is in instructive. The youth of our country ought Tl to know the history of those who dared to be wl free. It would have a tendency to make them it put a proper estimate upon the government hi which was bequeathed to them. More than tii this, it would inspire them to aeeas or virtue, is Samuel Bacot lived during the revolution- re ary war, near the site of the present town of no Darlington. He was a descendant of the dc Geneva Presbyterians, or Huguenots, who came to South Carolina in the latter part of the seventeenth century. These Huguenots, like the Scotch Irish, were drjven to America . by the cruel persecutions to which they were ^,j subjected in their native country. The Bacots were natives of Rochelle, in the western part ^ of France. Pierre Bacot, the grandfather of Samuel, came to South Carolina in 1694. , His descendants followed the course of the ^ Santee and Pedee rivers. After the revolutionary war they spread over the State. But j it is not our purpose to write a biographical gej sketch of either Pierre or Samuel Bacot. Our purpose is simply to pen an incident or two which transpired in the history of the lat- g. ter, during the revolutionary war. ? Samuel Bacot resided, as we have already said, near the present site of the town of Darling ton. He had married a Miss Allston, and he and a brother-in-law made a settlement 011 Black creek, in the region already indicated. His brother-in-law left the settlepr meut on Black creek and settled in the Cape jin PV>ar ppo-inn of Nnrt.li Carolina. When the I ^ ~ " U( revolutionary war broke out, Samuel Bacot gr) promptly es})0U8ed the cause of the patriots. ^ He was a man of great energy and exercised ^ much influence in his neighborhood. Like . the majority of his ancestors and their descen- 8ej dants, he was a true Whig and a perfect gentleman. At some period during the struggle, he was mad& a Captain?perhaps the leader of a partizan band. 8a^ CO! After the fall of Charleston, and after the . IS ! British had established their headquarters at Camden, the tories became very bold, and . multitudes of them cruel. Those, at least q many of them, who had heretofore been hesitating which side of the contest to take, now wfl declared for the British. The Whigs were m{ driven from their homes, their property de stroyed and their wives and helpless children insulted. To save their lives, the Whigs who Qtj were able to bear arms, were oblige to hide in an swamps and thickets. It was only as if by stealth that fathers were permitted to visit Qe their homes. . At one time, when Samuel Bacot had ventured to visit his family, a band of prowling tories were seen approaching the dwelling. His life depended upon gaining the swamp before their arrival. He determined to put the courage of the tories to the test. His ^ heavily loaded musket was seized, and then 111 he proceeded to direct his family as to the e.Vl position they should occupy during the pres- t10 ence of the plundering tories. This done, he en made for the swamp, but was delayed so long ^ that the tories had reached the premises and were hitching their horses. Bacot swiftly made for the thicket. The tories, more anxious to secure his property than his person, ? entered the house and began the search. Just at this moment Bacot discharged his musket, str hurling the shot into the walls of the house ne and amongst the plunderers. This was not to be stood by men who would degrade themselves by plundering a house, in which there was no one but a woman and her little chil- 18 dren. Panic struck, they dashed out of the cu house and from the premises, leaving their we horses to Bacot. Thus they demonstrated that they were as cowardly as they were cr( cruel. us At another time, Captain Bacot was taken cai prisoner and sent to Camden. Camden was ou the point to which all the prisoners were sent, either to be hanged or to be sent from that Sf) place to Charleston to be placed in prison ; tei ships to die of disease, or suffer untold mis- in; eries. Having kept Captain Bacot at Cam- ab den for some time, where he suffered greatly, the British determined to send him, and about thirty others?some of whom were his neigh- ^ju bors and men of like spirits with himself?to on Charleston. They were started off with a thi guard of sixty tories, commanded by a Cap- en tain Faust, from either the lower edge of Fair- str field or the upper edge of Richland county. During the first day's march, Bacot and some fe? of the prisoners intimated to each other their an intention to make their escape if possible, i ev At night the party camped a short distance j below Columbia at a log house, from which j Hi the owner had been driven. The arms were ! stacked at the door, and the thirty prisoners 1 j were placed in one end of the house. The i other end was occupied by the guard, except i gQ those who were placed outside to watch the : aij prisoners. The prisoners, now all together,I could decide upon a plan of escape. Captain j ws Bacot made the arrangements. I SUi All were to lie down and pretend to be i c&. i sleeping, and he would watch the movements j ,l of the guard in a way so as not to be suspec- j wj ted. It was Saturday night and Saturday j thi night was chosen as the watch word. So soon ; tw as Bacot was heard to pronounce the words j *f( Saturday night, the prisoners were to rise and sir rush to the guns. About midnight, Captain Bacot looked q through the door, and seeing that the guard were enjoying a good sleep, he asked the man on duty near the door for a drink of brandy, ea telling him that the state of his health made a !se^ drink of brandy, at that moment, necessary, i er' > l? i--: I._J c? ?! t?J ine oraimy UeiLlg llStt.cu iui jttjntciy, auu uic | ^ man on duty suspecting nothing, brought it to pp Bacot. So soon as Bacot received the brandy, he said "Here is success to Saturday night" as emphasizing the two last words; and at the "b same time dashed the brandy into the sentinel'8 eyes aud on the lock of his gun. ^ In a moment the guns were in the hands of the prisoners and Captain Faust and his to- j , ries were captured. Some of the prisoners m, who had not, for prudent reasons, been inform- w< ed of the contemplated escape, when they heard l'I the noise and saw the confusion among the guard, leaped out of the window of the room ! ^ and fled. All escaped, and the whole of the guard surrendered and were paroled. This f0 done, Captain Bacot and his friends went so home. y? pr It should be an indispensable rule in wi life to contract our desires to present condi- th tion, and whatever may be our expectations, re to live within the compass of what we actual- wi ly possess. so: Ming fat the J^trbath.
