First-Treat the patient instantly on the

freely exposing the face, neck and chest to the

and with one arm under the forehead, so that
any fluids may flow from the throat and
mouth, and, without loss of time.

NAVAL BLUNDERs A Washington letter
says Shubrick, as Commodore of the Para
quay expedition, ordered the report to be made
to him of all the details of the expedition for
the future guidance of the Government, and
thus it was disclosed in the general report 70
the Secretary of the Navy, that the vessels
were provided with ammunition but for seven
hours rapid firing, SO that if fight occurred,
the expedition must have been defeated for the
want Of powder and ball. This disclosure
makes a sensation here, and will be invest-
gated at next session of Congress.
Faith spans the gulf of death with the bridge
Of hope.

The RED RIVER ENTERPRISE SUCCESSFUL
From the far Northwest we have the crafty
ing intelligence that the steamer Freighter,
from st. Paul, has been taken across the portage
between Big Stone Lake, at the head Of the
Minnesota River, and Lake Traverse, the head
of tho River of the North, and that she is now
fairly in tho latter stream, and ready to do the
business for which she was sent. The placing
of a steamer on the Red River will open new

tensive traffic with tho "Outside barbarians" of

From the New York Pyst-
The Onderdonk Question

The proposed restoration of Bishop Onder-
donk has already excited considerable discus
sion: ia which the secular press has largely
shared The scheme of dividing the diocese
with which plan the suspended Bishops re-
sumption of Episcopal duties is connected,
finds great favor. Indeed. one journal, the
Courier and Enqairer, suggests that tae diocese
should be subdivided into no less than three
dioccses. the city of New York constituting
one, Long Island Staten bland and the coun-
ty of Wesichester the second, while the third
should embrace all the parishes in the present
diocese of New York, north and west of West
chester county. tfA #tA
ii is stated, on the authority of one of the
signers. that the petition now in circulation
in behalf of Bishop Onderdonk is connected
with and now in possession of Rev. DR..
Hawks. This document is nothing less than
a written pledge of Bishop Ondeldonk that.
in case of The reversal of his sentence. he will
| Immediately assign TO Bishop Potter all the
| powers and authorities of his Office. and will
not perform Episcopal duties without the con-
sent of Bishop Potter. Thus the restoration
will be nominal rather than real. There are
some of the High Church party who desire
| that Bishop Onderdonk shall re-enter his of
| flee cluihed with lis full power. Int the ma
| jnriy of the signers of the petition consider
that a nominal restoration is the best for the
interests of the Church.
It is a noticeable fact that among those
who have given their adhesion to the restora-
ton movement are Drs. Tying. Anthem. Be-
/ dell and other prominent Low Church lead
! ers. These clergymen were among the fore
! most in favor of the Bishops deposition, and
their efforts in behalf of his restoration may
| br fairly presumed to arise from coDscien-
tious Christian charity, while at the same time
they may feel it expedhnt to temper their
zeal with prudence. There are stili many
who firmly believe that Bishop OnderdOnk
can never resume this Episcopal function
| with benefit to the Church. The nominal re-
storation would satisfy the demands of that
charity which hopeth all things, while, the
actual duties remaining with Bishop Potter,
the preiudices of no member of the Church
would have been interfered with.
This question, it is anticipated. will be the
most Interesting to be brought before the
| General Convention a: Richmond, next
month. The delegates to that Convention
| from this diocese will be chosen on the 18th
inst, at the Diocesan Convention in this city.
| We have already mentioned that eX-Govern-
ors Seymour ard Hunt will be among the
delegates from Western New York, and have
now to add the names of Benjamin Pringlr
and Joseph Juliand. In addition to the
American prelates, several Canadian Bishops
are expect to be present among them the
Bishop OF Nova Scotia. At the close of the
Convention, the four Bishops elect of Ohio.
New Jersey, Texas and Minnesota will be
consecrated.

In the Drawer" of that excellent periodi-
CAL the Southern Teacher. says the Columbus
(Ga.) Sun, we find the following, in which is
concentrated volume of truth:
Editing newspaper is a good deal like
making a fire. Every body supposes that lie
can do ii little better than anybody else.
We have heard people doubt their fitness for
various employments; but in all our expert
ence, we have never met with that individual
who did not think he could double the circu-
lation of any paper in two mOnths.'
We might add that there are as many and
various opinions concerning the duties and
qualifications of the Editcr, as there are men
themselves, and perhaps no one error is more
prevalent than that with regard 10 original
and selected matter. Some imagine that the
columns of a paper should be filed with
articles of the Editors own originating
while few, a very few. concur in opinion that
that paper is best conducted which constitute $
a faithful reflection, or panorama of the world
as it is each day. In either case, the columns
of paper may reflect the views of the Ed
itor, upon matters and things" as they
occur.
The experience Of that Nestor OF the Press.
the National Lnteiiigaaeer as well as others that
have had a successful career. is decidedly in
favor OF the latter of the above methods.
The secret which all acknowledge, but few
practice, is not knowing what to write, but
in what not TO write. While many papers
have proved failures because of what has
filed their columns; others have succeeded
on account of what has been excluded. The
secret of success then lies more in judicious
selections; in ferretting out news; in dlscov-
ering what is rich and valuable in the
thoughts OF others than in thedistillcd dizziness
OF original articles, from the pen Of the mere
political essayist who presides over the for
tunes Of Daily or that less frequent heb
domadal, a Weekly" OF course, these
views must be modified according TO the par
pose for which paper may be establish, d,
or the principles to which 1t may be devot, d,
in which case il is better even then to exbib-
il by happy selection the concurrent and
corrobora ing opinions of others 10 fortiiy a
position, than TO rely principally upon the
power and force Of a single pen.
Like any other profession, we confess II Is
ea.ier by far To theorize upon the duties OF
the Editor, Than to carry the conclusions OF
theory into effect

WOnlan,s Tact.

Mrs. d. p. Bowers has been laughing i'm
moderately at the Philadelphia critics. and
among Others at the supcrlativev vain DIR.
Shelton Mckenzie. She is an actress of great
professional as well as literary talent, and
had produced at her theater in Philadelphia,
an original play called Black Agate. The
critics were very severe upon this home pro-
duction. and suggested that the lady man.
ager would evince better taste by drawing
upon some of the old English dramas. Mrs.
Bowers in due course of time, produced
what she STYLED "a new play called - lSa-
dora" and forthwith M. Mckenzie pre-
nOuuccd it a failure-a very poor adaptation
of one of ByrOn's poems; he thought the
playwright had spoiled Byron. and failed to
make a play worth putting on the stage. He
again suggested to the manager the pro-
priety of letting native authors slide, and
falling back upon the rich stores of British
writers. All the other Philadelphia papers
took the criticism of DR.. Mckenzie as good
authority. referred to it as founded upon one
of ByrOn's pieces by some native author, who
had accomplished nothing.
After the critics had had their say, Mrs.
Bowers quietly informed the public that the
new play was one written by Il. w. Proctor,
the great " Barry Cornwall" and was pro-
duccd in England by Macready thirty years
ago-Macready taking the leading part Mrs.
Bowers says that the play, then called Miriam
dola," was produced by Mr.. Macready many
years since in London, with great success.
adequate to its Wonderful beauty and i'm
presSivencss. 1t is well known to every per-
son of culture as any play by Shakespeare. 1t
is all almost faultless dramatic work, Ieplrte
with poetic pathos and worthy of the genius
of Proctor and Macr"ady." --
And having thus bought and sold these
owls of the Philadelphia Press she very Fer
tiaently asks, in a card, whether such male
violent ignorance is TO control public taste, or
whether the people will disregard these MS
representations and judge for themselves OF
the quality of her entertainmenis.-Cn. En-

The accident on the Great Eastern

The correspondent of the London Nttrs
after describing the explosion on board the
Great Eastern, and the melancholy loss Of life,
says:
1t will hardly be believed but ii is true
that while all these terrible scenes were being
enacted in the middle OF the ship. other por-
tions were comparatively undsturbed. A
man who stood at the bow declared that for
a long time he knew nothing of what was
going on, but that on hearing the report,
thought some passing ship had been paying
us a compliment. The satety-valve of this
steam generator has tap " hich was to he
turned by hand. and the opinion is that il
had never been turned since il was first
placed in 10 present position. 1t seems that
the turning bad been neglected, and in con-
sequence, the water within had rapidly be-
come steam. and in finding a vent had burst
upwards in the terrible explosion, which sent
the long funnel, weighing eight tons. some
fifty feet into the air. Another statement was
that the person whose duty it was to keep
this jacket filed, had forgotteu it until it was
almost empty, and then, in his fright sudden
ly filling the red-hot iron vessel with cold
water caused IL TO burst and fiy into pi, ces.
1t has been a case of individual neglect some
where, but there is no doubt there will be a
legal investigation. | shall not here go any
deeper into the matter. There was quite
congress of scientific men on board, aud their
unanimous opinion was, that this arrange
m mt should not have been adopted at all /;
but having been adopted, all care should
have been taken to provide for the most con-
slant surveillance.

The Argus very pertinently remarks that
the Board of Aldermen are certainly not in
earnest when they rank those of 81 years of
age among the school children; if SO they
are behind the times, for all know that boys
are men. and girls women before that age.
OF those between the ages of and l6, there
are but I594-and that. according to the
census, is the true scholastic population of
Memphis. But there are doubtless many
under the age Of s, and some over liz who
attend the public schools in that city.
