At eight o'clock In the morning some English were seen in the distance; he ran to them, and a messenger was sent off to Hervy: A cart came for me. I was placed in it and carried to a farm-house, about a mile and o half distant, and I was laid in the bed from which poor . Gordon (as I understood afterward) had just been carried out.

Taft of this city, yesterday, on his way from the ' Land of Flowers' to the East and England. Dr. Eastlack lias been practicing dentistry for the last fifteen years in China, butsay# that, with the exception of a few persona of rank and distinction who sought his services, the ' Celestiuls' haveno understanding nor appreciation of dentistry. The native dentists are the merest charlatans, and practice as magicians and cure-alls. They insert artificial teeth filed out of the teeth of the seahorse, which are kept in place by copper wire wrappings or fastenings to the adjacent natural teeth, and charge about three per tooth for the operation.Q S.

The method of extraction is this: The dentist applies to tho gum of the troublesome tooth a whtie powder, represented to be tho wait extracted from the sweat of a horse. Dr. Eastlack found this white powder to be nothing more or less than arsenic, which causes the gum to slough, when tho tooth is easily removed by the operator's lingers. WILKES-BAURE, PENN'A.

Ponsonby'a interesting account of his own sufferings, after a rasli and unlucky charge. The Pall Mall Oazcflc, in an article on tho above caption, says that bookish people are continually apt to overrate the value of reading. There is a largeorderof minds—shrewd, healthy, intelligent minds — which must be stimulated by verbal and ocular demonstration, and which are quite closed to mere reading. And on the other hand, there is a vast amount of reading which has no relation either to mental efforts or to intellectual cultivation. A common consequence of reading for amusement is the love of sedentary habits, and the low physical tone thereby induced. 1 f the ordinary run of novel readers were to renounce the novel and easy chair in favor of the field and the brisk walk, they would, without doubt, find a sensible difference in both their bodily and mental condition at the end of the year. Let us not be misunderstood. What we set our faco, against is not the use, but tne abuse of books—an abuse which leads to superficial views of life, neglect of active duties, and a mental apathy, only equaled by selfconceit. Even if all books were worth reading, it does not follow that the spare time devoted to them by the young and thoughtless would be well spent. But how few of the hundreds of books published annually are worth reading, and how rare the faculty of discernment! A real love of books is given to the few, and not to the many. A wise book thoroughly understood, is a mine of wealth throughout life. So strong,however,is the force of habit and so powerful the ir. fluence of position, that Indiscriminate reading lias become as common as bad pianoforte playing. Naturally, this sham culture tends to the deprecistion of learning. It is so much easier to accept opinions ready-made than to be at the trouble of forming them, and so much pleasanter to read what is light and entertaining than what is dry and abstruse. Whether second hand opinions and light entertaining literature prove the most serviceable to the world is quite another matter. In a world, then, books are inadequate teachers so long as we use no others. Belf-development embraces the practical as well as the theoretical, and those who overrate the last at the expense of the first run into an extreme, the consequence of which are not easy to calculate.

"At one o'clock, observing, as I thought, unsteadiness in a column of French infantry, which was advancing with an irregular lire, I resolved to charge them. As we were descending in a gallop, we received from our own troops on the right a tire much more destructive than the enemy's, they having begun long before it could take effect, and slackening as we drew nearer; when we were within fifty paces of them, the French turned, and much execution was (lone among them, as we were followed by some Belgions, who had remarked our success. But wo had no sooner passed through them, than we were attacked in our turn, before we could form, by about three hundred Polish lancers, who had come down to their relief ; the French artillery pouring in among us a heavy lire of grapeshot, which, however, killed three of their own to one of our men. In the melee I was disabled almost instant ly in both of my arms, and followed by a few of my men, who were presently cut down (no quarter being asked or given) I was carried on by my horse, till receiving a blow on my head from a satire, I was thrown senseless on my fuce to the ground. Recovering, I raised myself a little to look around, when a lancer, passing by, sprung at me and struck his lance through my back ; my head dropped, the blood gushed into my mouth, a difficulty of breathing came on, and I thought all was over. **•»«D, STEAM 6^' Hut the Gaines method of curing toothache, was what puzzled him the tnosl and longest* delied detection. The operations it should have been stated, are all performed In a temple or in the space in front, under a large umbrella, the idea being that religious ceremony is in some way connected with them. Toothache is caused by a maggot which gets into the tooth somehow or other when the patient is asleep, or while lie is laughing immoderately. It must bo removed alive, or the patient will go mad. Ho Is. therefore, placed on a seat and his head thrown back. The dentist inserts a long pair of forceps, and after fumbling around for a few seconds, produces between the nippers a little wriggling black maggot—the cause of the whole trouble. Dr. East lack witnessed this operation repeatedly, but it was only after obtaining surreptitious possession of tho forceps that ho discovered the trick. He found that one arm of the forcep# only was iron ; the other was of bamboo, painted to resemble the other. In the hollow of the bamboo were found a numberof little black maggots, probably obtained from decayed vegetables or other decomposing matter. When necessary to do service, the operator simply squeezed the bamboo above, and a maggot was ejected from the small end of the instrument to the mouth, and then adroitly taken between the nippers and held up triumphantly before the gaze of the astonished and grateful patient. Dr. E. could never satisfy himself on the point of the patient's relief. The operations he witnessed were dispatched witli astonishing rapidity, and the patients hurried away as if that part of the performance was essential to the success of the operation.

"Not long afterwards a tirailleur came up to plunder me threatening to Uike iny life. I told him that he might search me, directing him to a Rmail Hide packet, in which he found three dollars, being all I had ; he unloosened my stock and tore open my waistcoat; then leaving me in a very uneasy posture, and was no sooner gone than another came for the sume purpose ; hut assuring him I had been plundered already, he left me, when an officer, bringing up some troops (to which, probably, the tirailleurs belonged) and halting where I lay, stooped down and addressed me, saying he feared I was badly wounded. I replied that I was, and expressed a wish to be removed to the rear. He said it was against the order to remove even their own men, but that if they gained the day, as they would (for he understood the Duke of Wellington was killed, and that nix of our battalions had surrendered) every attention ill his power should be shown me. I complained of thirst, and he held his brandy-bottle to my lips, directing one of his men to lay me straight on my side, and place a knapsack under my head. He then passed on into action, and I shall never know to whose generosity I was indebted, as I conceive, for my life. Of what rank he was I cannot say ; he wore a blue great-coat. By and by another tirailleur came and fired over me, loading and firing many times, and conversing with great gayety all the while; at last he ran off, saying, " Vous serez bien aise d'entendre que nous allons nous retirer; ben jour, mon omi.' " While the battle continued in that part, several of the wounded men and (lead bodies near me were hit with the balls, which came very thick in that place. Towards evening, when the Prussians came, the continued rattling of the cannon along theirs and the British line, growing louder and louder as they drew near, was the finest thing I ever heard. It wasdusk when two squadrons of Prussian cavalry, both of them two dsep, passed over me in full trot, lifting me from theground and tumbling me about cruelly. The clatter of their approach, and the aiD- p rehension it excited, may be easily coi Ccei ved. Had a gun come from that wav it would have done for me. The battle was then nearly over, or removed a distaiD tlle cril'a an(1 Kr,'ar,s ()f t|je woundeu* around me became every instant m ore 11,1(1 moro audible, succeeding to H?Vho,if5: lmproo",,,17Ia' outcries of 'Vive 1'Lmpereur!' the discharge of cannon ; now and then intervals of perfect silence, which wa.i wo.-sethau the noise, I thought the nig ht never end.

V,°" tions, noises, and the air issu. through a wound in his side, distress*!, me most of all, as the case was my own. It was not a dark night, and the Piussians were wandering about to plunder (and the scene in Ferdinand, Count Fathom, came into my mind, though no woman, I believe, were there) ; several of them came and looked at me, and passed on ; at length one stopped to examine me. I told him as well as I could (for I could say but little German), that I was a British officer, and had been plundered already ; he did not desist, however,and pulled me about roughly before he left me. About an hour before midnight T saw a poldier in aji English uniform coming toward me; he was, I suspect, on the same errand. He came and looke 1 in my face; I spoke instantly, telling him who I was, and assuring him of a reward if he would remain by me.

BLACKMAN, JAMES' HOTEL Salts, Meats, Flour, Fish and Max mentions a report that the chief astronomer at the Washington Observatory was dreadfully sold a few days ago. A wicked boy, whose Huuday Scliool experience seems only to have made him more depraved, caught a fire-fly and stuck it with the aid of some mucilage, in the centre of the largest lens in the telescope. That night when the astronomer went to work he perceived a blaze of light apparently in the heavens, and, what amazed him more was, that it would give a couple of spurts and then die out, only to burst forth in a second or two. He examined it carefully for a few moments, and then he began todo sums to discover where in the heavens that extraordinary star was placed. He thought he fouud the locality, ami the next morning lie telegraphed all over th# universe that lie had discovered a new and remarkable star of the third magnitude in Orion. In n day or two all the astronomers in Europe and America were studying Orion, and th.'y gazed at it for hours until they were mad, and then they began to telegraph to the man in Washington to know what be means. The discoverer took another look, and found that the new star had moved about.eighteen billion miles in twenty-four hours ami upon examining it closely he was alarmed to perceive that it had legs. When ho on the home next morning to polish up his glass he found the lightning bug. People down at Alexandria, seven miles distant, heard part of the swearing, and they say he infused into it much whole-souled sincerity and vigorous energy. The bills for telegraphic, despatches amounted to $2,600, and now tl/e .astronomer wants to find that boy. lie wishes to consult with him about something.

Jan 1,7*—ly WILLIAM STREET, A man having the appearance of a countryman, and laden with a bundle of hay, managed to fall through a pane of glass, value thirty pounds, which adorned the establishment of a large mercer in the Edge ware Road, London. The shopkeeper quickly siezed upon the fellow, who protested lie had no money, and pleaded the weight of his load as an excuse. Two gentlemen, lookers on, testified to their having watched the "stupid clown," and just before remarked that his gross carelessness would lead to some mischief, and they suggested that the "booby" should bo searched. This was promptly done, and the production of a fifty pound note was the result. Vainly did the countryman, with tears' in his eyes, proclaim the note to be his " measters," the proceeds of his journey to market. Tile mercer jiaid himself the thirty pounds, by giving the boor twenty pounds in .Bank of Kngland notes, and retaining possession of the one found upon him. The wight said lie would go and get a policeman, that he might " have the law" upon the shopkeeper, and left the premises, and the two gentlemen blandly took their leave, after congratulating the tradesman 011 the fortunate result which had attended their suggestion of a search. Of course the reader guesses the upshot— the fifty pound note was a forgery, and tile whale proceeding a trick.
