ART OF FLOATING.

Any human being who will have presence
of mind enough to clasp the hands behind
the back, and turn the face towards the
zenith, may float with ease and in perfect
safety in toleraby still water-ay, and
sleep there no matter how long. If not
knowing how to swim, you would escape
drowning, when you find yourself in deep
water you have only to consider yourself
an empty pitcher; let your mouth and nose,
not the top part Of your heavy head, be the
highest part Of you, and you are safe; but
thrust up one of your body hands, and
down you go--iurning up the handle tips
over the pitcher. Having had the happi.
ness to prevent one or two drownings by
this simple instruction, says an exchange.
we publish it either for the benefit of all
who either love aquatic sports or dread
them.

BROKE UP IN A ROW.

The New England Anti-SIavery Conven-
ton, at Boston terminated in three days ses.
sion in a grand row, which was not very
credtable to those concerned in it. Park
er Pillsbury was interrupted IN the midst of
one of his most vitupera've harrangues
against the church and clergy, by the boot
ing, stamping, &c, Of the audience; and
for nearly half an hour previous to the ex-
tinguishment of the lights, nothing could be
heard distinctly, save the song "IIeigh no,
the boatmen row." which wss sung in cho-
rus by the whole strength of the company.
For moment comparative silence was
restored, when the Rev. Mr.. Bimney came
forward and stated that he had been charg.
ed, on the platform with being the cause Of
the Disturbances and appealed to the au-
dience to decide the truth Of the charge. A
loud shout of "NO" was raised from all
quarters, and the tumultuous noises were
again resumed and persisted in until the ex-
pedient of extinguishing the lights were re-
sorted to.--BQN. Sun, June Q.

FUNERAL OF GEN. JACKSON

NASHVILLE, June | !, 1870.
Gentlemen: attended the funeral of Gen.
Jackson, and took my last look Of the old
man; every thing was as simple as could be
wished. There was one thing that struck
me very forciblo; he has always been charg.
ed of being tyrannical, but if the evidence
of his SlareS is testimony 10 the contrary.
am a witness that there was sorrow,
universal among what | suppose must have
been some seventy or eighty. You would
see them standing around the Hermitage
in groups OF fifteen to twenty, dressed in
their Sunday dressD in silent grief, the tears
rolling down their dark face. The house
servants were Immediately around the foot

them, as 10 the domestic character Of their
deceased father and friend, there was one
gush of gref-though siIent-dnd as usual

The body was placed in a coffin covered
with black cloth, with silver plate in the
form OF shield, and simply the name OF
"Andrew Jackson" upon it.
The concourse was very large; it was i'm.
possible TO make correct estimate as to
numbers-the whole park, garden, and
hooks and corners, were filled with carria.

there was from $500 TO 9 900 persons pre-.

cording to his request-the body after fu.
neral service was taken by venerable looking
men-soldiers who served under him during
the last war-to the sepulchre, under the
small temple in the garden, and deposited
alongside of his wife, the crowd opening

From MExICo.-Hon. Wilson Shannon,
our late Minister to Mexico has reached
New York. The news from Mexico is of
a gloomy nature. The political condition
of things are unsettled. 1t was the gener-
al belief that there would soon be another
revolution in Mexico. Government was
very poor and unable TO pay the army or
navy with any degree of promptness. The
general belief among all classes, in Mexico
was that Texas would not accept the terms
offered by the Congress of the United
States, and consequently the country
would not be annexed.
There was a very hostile feeling against
Americans, and the people believed that,
should Texas be annexed, declaration of
war would follow.
Mr.. Shannon represents that the drafts
on the Mexican Treasury received by the
American agent for two installments due,
had not been paid for want Of funds.

that the water in the wells of that town is
better adapted for use in making coffee,
than the river water, comparative analy-

ed on the carbonate of soda contained in
the former. 1t has since been found that
a small quantity of the carbonate added to
the coffee much improves its flavor; and
it has therefore been recommended by
chemists, that an addition of 43 grains of
the pure carbonate of soda be added to
each pound of roasted coffee as an i'm
provement to the flavor, and also TO the
therapeutic effects of this beverage, as it
neutralizes the acid contained in the infu-

OPAt a meeting Of the democracy held
in this place some time since, it was unani-

were all arranged and the candidates
pledged to abide the decision. A meeting

strong caucusing going on here few days
before this leaked out. One of the promi-

himself candidate, and the following day
declined. We have not yet exactly got
the hang Of all this manGuvring, and are
at loss to know why it should have taken
place-and how it was done. We rather
incline to the belief there was fuss in the

advocate in the canvass. II was matter
of perfect indifference what they went for,
if there was proper understanding. The
old clique party had TO give in 10 the indie.

somewhat more liberal than their own.
Matters having progressed thus far, some
say Jackson took running start" on his
competitors, got the track, announced him
self in favor of those measures, and they
will now have to knock UNDER after losing

The distance Of Oregon from the United
States is not generally known to half the
persons who talk Of settling beyond the
Rocky mountains. For the information OIL
this class we give the following on the au,
thority of M. Greenhow's late publication
The journey is genarally commenced at In
dependence on the Missouri river; thence
To Laramer's Fork, is $50 miles
To the sources Of the Platte, $50 miles
To Fort Hall, $50 miles
-l250 miles.
The travellers go the greatest part of the
way on foot, ,hro' dreary barren country,
crossing mountains that are 10000 feet
high, and destitute Of vegetation and water.
They are liable TO be attacked by Indians,
and suffer all kinds of annoyance and pri.
valons.
The route usually taken from Canada to
Oregon by the employers of the Hudson's
Bay Company is about three thousand
miles, and is travelled on horseback, there
being no roads for wagons.

A LOVE SToRY.--In the North Adams
Transcript story is related of fair dam.
sci in that town who found it somewhat
difficult to decide between rival suffers for
her hand, and made them both agree to
accompany her to the office of the esquire"
where she promised to make her selection,
on condition that the rejected sutton should
pay the marriage fee, present her with five
dollars, and then depart from the town for
the space Of one year. The Transcript
says that this bit of drama was actually
performed, and the desolate one left town
per agreement
