Dr. Illrsehe says, in the .Denfal Cosmos: Many of the most experienced ond able members of the profession still advocate the use of Bolld gold filling In roots as the best and mo3t reli able method. Admitting the value o( Buch a filling, I think wo can, at present, entirely do without It. I One object In filling the pulp canal is to pre vent the collection of fluids, and to avoid the I deleterious effects resulting therofrom. If we ' can accomplish this more readily by cheaper I processes, it Is our duty to do so. This, however, is not my main reason for objecting to gold fillings. Observation has tanght me that many times periostliH, and i even the loss of tho tooth, ensues, when the oporatlon has been performed in the best man ner and by tho most experienced dentists. I therefore resolved at the commencement of I practice lo attempt another method, not boing , aware at that tituo that this practice was being usd by others. Considering tho relations o( dontistry to the public, and those of tho latter towards dentts- I try, it is not surprising that at tho present time, iu Germany, wo have a larger proportion of dead and exposed pulps to treat than have our ' colleagues in America. 1 shall not dwell upon tho preparatory steps nn.nujurv in lin tnkpn in different cases, as these are familiar to the profession; but when the root Is in n proper condition for filling, I pro ceed as follows: Select a thread of lint, separate or loosen tho libers ns much as noBfdble. and then moisten it with chlorido of zlno from tho cement boxes; then rub oxide of zlno well into it, omitting ono extremity of the lint, which Is rcsorved for the ntinlic.ition of a small uuautitv of carbolic acid, The thread is simply thu medium (or conveying , tho coini'iit to tho extremity of the canal, and Is entirely Itubt tided in it. The end of tlio lint s Unrated with carbolic acid Is, of cotixso, tho I never had an opportunity to satisfy mvsclf in regard to tho condition of "the root and thu fill- lug, until, by nu uufortunato accident, a young patient split off tho labial surface of a first superior bicuspid, treated In this manner two yeors previously. The tooth was extracted, at her request, tin splitting tlio root to tho apex, I found, as I expected, tho filling hard aud perfect, and tho periosteum iu a healthy state. Not Enoodiiaiiinu.

In removing Louis Agassiz, death hag de deprived us of one, who, for tha last quarter of a ceutury, has dono more than any other person to stimulate in this country the study ofNntnre and a spirit of hclentlflo investiga tion. Twenty-eight years ago he left Bwitrer. land, his native land-, for tho United States, and became an American citizen. Those twcnty-elg1it years he gavo to unremitted labor iu behalf of that higher education, which, by the publlo at large, was little understood. His Interest was confined to no town or State, to no individual or class. Ho journeyed much; aud, wherever ho weut, there his pupils were, lie might have rested on the reputation he brought from Europe, and by lecturing and writing have made a fortune. Such a life, however, he would not. or perhaps could not live. At the ago of G7 his brain gave way, and he died, leaving no wealth but bis name, his example, and his works. It would not be grateful for tho country, nor would it be for the country's interest, that Agassiz should pass away without n fitting memorial. Such a memorial can be made out of the great museum which ho began and partially built, and for the completion of which he has left fall directions. Completed, it would be a perpetnal fountain of knowledge and a monument quick with his spirit. "Museum," a word that commonly suggest i llttlo mora than a collection of curious objects, is scarcely an appropriate name for tho memorial Agassiz ought to havo. The museum ho labored for is n presentation of tbe animal kingdom fossil and living arranged so as to picture the creative thought. The study of such a subject is the highest to which the human mind can aspire. The Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cambridge, is an independent esttblishnient, governed by a faculty of ils own. It was fouudod fifteen y.tars ago by Agassiz, and has grown to its present largo proportions under is hand. In connection with it is tho newly established School of Experimental Zoology on tho island of Penikccso, endowed by Mr. An derson, of Now York. Tho system o( instruc tion has the broadest character, and Includes olcmeutiiiy teaching, as well us tho highest in vestigations. Tho oxhibition rooms aro free to tho publlo. Largo sums havo already been ex pended in bringing this National museum to Its present condition. Its collections in sev eral branches uro superior to tho British mu seum or tho Garden of Plants. To mako such an establishment usoful, it must havo a large building and a considerable annual incomo (or tho payment of professors aud assistants. To perfect tho grand plans conceived by Agassiz will require at least $300,000, of which about ono-third would be used in enlarging tho build ing, and two-thirds would bo funded. It is proposed to ralso tho money to complete this work, aud a committeo composed ot scien tific- men has taken tho matter in hand, with this view. Tho friends ot Agassiz tho frlonds of education propose to raise a memorial to him, by placing upon a strong and enduring basis the museum, which is at once a collection of natural objects, rivalling tho most celebrated collections of the Old World, aud a school open to all the teachers and pupils in the land. It is to be hoped that tho people of America, among whom Agassiz unselfishly labored and among whom ho spent tho hist portion of his life, will not hesitate to carry on tho work he has begun. His example and his to iching havo benefited every section of the country, even to oar out-of-the-way California. Tho musoum bo planned uud founded will, if suitably endowed, become tin over increasing sourco of scientifio and practical usefulness to tho nation and tho world. We cannot doubt, therefore, that the appeal mado by tho committeo will be an swered by tho public in the saino generous spirit in which Agassiz devoted his genius to the furlherunco ot science mid the advance ment of education among us.

Teachers and pupils desiring to subscribe, to tho "Teachcrs'aud PupiM l'utid" of the "Agassiz Memorial" can address J. M. Barnard, No. 13 Exchange street, iiostou. Plowing Vineyards. A correspondent of tho lturul World argues that plowing, if dono properly, from tho time the viueyard has been planted wneuever needed, aud especially iu the fall, is ouo of tho most beneficial operations tho viutuer can perform. Ho says: As I havo followed it for more than twenty years, whenever I thought it needed it, I ought to know something of its effects. Bat it should bo commenced ns soon as tho con dition of the viueyard requires it, which is every time during tho summer when it is weedy Kiul grassy, aud only iu dry weather, uud not wheii the ground H wet. I commence lo spriug with a common corn plow, throwing a shallow furrow from each side of tho row, then hoeing lightly lu the row aud around the vines with a two-pronged hoe or karst, stirring all tho soil, but not deeply. Then tho pulverized soil is thrown back to tho vines with the plow, and ns many furrows plowed in the row as it require to mellow aud stir all tho soil, leaving a shallow furrow in the middle. As niv plow- iug ami hoeing is dono three to four times every summer, iu about the same way, only substituting the common garden hoe for the two-pronged hoe later in the season, ond al ways as shallow as the plow can run, say tw to three inches, it will be readily seeu tha 1 never tear any largo roots, nor are they ex posed to the action of the frost, but tbesurfacs Is kept in a mellow condition, which is espec ially necessary in dry weather, as tho mellow soil is aliout the best mulch we can give the vines. Even iu wet seasons, the furrows inthe middle of each row serve as drains to lead the water from the vines. I can, however, well imagine how late plowiug can be injurious to vines that have been "let alone" through al most the whole summer, and where weeds and grass have become a tangled mass; and to gl through such vineyard at all, the plowman must run hU plow deeper, and will ntcessarilv tear some roots; the uncultivated, hard soil will turn up iu clods and thus allow the frost to play the mischief with the teuder rootlet. e all kuow that the most tender part of any plant is its collar or crown; that is, tho part from which the root start. Fall plowiug, bv bringing up the well pulverized earth around aud over the collar ol the vine, protects it there by. It also serves to cover the weeds and giasiL if thero are auy, and the fallen leaves of the vinos, thus giving the vine the best manure it can possibly have, Us own decayed leaves. Tho vine, by its action, stands on a ridge, and auuiamro is drained iroui lis roots oy me middle furrow iu each row. But plowing, like summer pruning and all other operations in the vineyard, should be followed regularly and systematically to be beneficial; not spasmod ically by fits and starts, when time and conven ience will allow. There must always be time (ouud (or il, as (or everything else. Those who are not willing to do this have no reason to complain of its bad effects, if done badly and irregularly, Alcmixcm is now being used quite extent Ively for gat burners. Wh
