off between 11 and 1 o’clock. The
revenue cutter Dexter came along
about 12:30 and sent off two boats.
Twenty-one persons, one off whom

ed to save them at the peril of his
life. Returning to the cutter, he
asked Captain Gabrielson to give
him a man to steer, that he might
swim to the wreck and rescue the
unfortunate man. The captain
granted the request and Lieutenant
Riiobes was placed in the boat, but
on nearing the steamer it was
found to he folly to attempt to get
alongside. Lieutenant Rhodes re
fused to abandon the attempt, and
sang out to the man in the life
boat to take him to the wreck.
Lieutenant Rhodes hoarded the
lifeboat, and tying a rope about him
waited until he was within thirty
feet of the vessel, when he sprang
into the sea. He had nearly reach
ed the wreck when he was struck
by a piece of timber on the leg and
sank. He was pulled aboard the
boat and taken to the litter. His
leg was found to be cut, hut after
changing his clothing, as the sea
was smoother, he determined to
make the last attempt. He again
set out for the wreck, and this time
the men were reached. One was

From the T,a< 1 range Reporter.
The Columbus ft Rome R. R.
The Romo Courier very justly
charges that the corporation which
controls this road has, in making a
proposition to divert it to Green
ville, instead of extending it in the
direction in which it was originally
intended it shouldjie built and was
chartered to be bujlt, defeated the
intention of the. Legislature in
granting the charter and granting
it aid. It is true that the road has
passed out of the feands of its origi
nal incorporators, and even out of
the possession of the State, hut, as
we understand it, a charter is a per
petual law—the condition of a
road’s existence. AYe do not blame
the citizens offMeriwether for desir
ing the connection and for subscrib
ing to have the road finished to
their county site; but Columbus, a
pent-up city, n£eds the outlet
through LaGrange to Rome, for all
the interests of her commerce,
much more than she needs the ad
ditional local trade which the
extension of the road to Greenville
will bring her. It is evident that it
is not only a bottling, but a stifling,
policy which is being pursued
towards Georgia’s chief manufac
turing city. She needs relief from
the monopoly that is oppressing her
—competitive transportation-
much more than She requires fthis
addition to her already large
cotton receipts. LaGrange has just
cause to complain of the great in
justice done her. For years her cit
izens have carried a heavy burden
of indebtedness, incurred in aiding
the construction -of a road which,
though graded to Within sight of her

hope that, by some favoring events,

Bad Tetth and Dyspepsia
While every one is liable to suffer
at times with indigestion, no mat
ter how well preserved their den
tal organs may have been, there
cannot be found to-day one whose
teeth are decayed, broken off, and
out of order generally, that does
not suffer continually with “heart
burn” or some of the multifarious
gastric troubles incident to such a
condition of the oral cavity.
Persons having no teeth, or those
whose teeth have been neglected
and allowed to become diseased,
arc unable to masticate their food
properly, which is deficiently mixed
with saliva (a very essential auxili
ary in the digestion of solid sub
stances,) and therefore, this food,
being carried into the stomach
without proper trituration and in
salivation, imposes double duty up
on the grastric apparatus—that of
mastication aud digestion.
Again, carious teeth serve for
lodgement of particles of food which
are retained in and about the or
gans until fermentation is set up.
Friends, did you over think of it,
those whose teeth are rotten and
rotting, that your mouths are regu
lar cesspools? And this putrescent
matter is conveyed into the stom
ach continually with the saliva, and
consequently produces an irrita
tion of the lining membrane which
is the worst and not uncommon
form of dyspepia, which is impos
sible to cure (not even with the 900,
900,000 patent medicines in the mar
ket,) until the dental organs have
first received proper attention. In
deed cases of dyspepsia of years
standing have been been perma
nently cured by judicious attention
to the oval cavity, and without
medicinal agents to any extent;
when on the contrary all the medi
cines that can be given will not ef
