We all know that breast swimming is
the style commonly adopted all over the
world. Beginners commence on the breast,
and in nine instances out of ten they con-
tinue tomove through the water ON their
breast all through their lives. Il is in
water what walking lis on land. To the
beginner it has the advantage of being the
easiest to learn, and TO the adept it has the
attraction of having "last" aboutit. Long
distances aremostly performed in this style,
Nas being more steady, and consequently
less fatiguing; so that here the breast fre-
quently conquers its dashing rival the
side. Also when swimming for pleasure,
rather than for glory, we instinctiyely take
TO the breast The chief rules are:
1. Spread out your hands Fingers clos :
ed) widely, SO as 10 describe as large ch-
Gle as you possibly can. Ifyou watch good
breast swimmers You viii at first be sur
prised TO observe what a broad sweep they
thus make.
g.. The same rule holds good for the
feet; you can not describe too large q cir
Gle; therefore send out your legs to their
utmost length aud breadth,
3. After you have described this circle,
in order to complete the stroke, bring
the heels together sharply and
vigorously. Remember, it is
this Jerk and quick meeting Of the heels
which send you forward 1t is in this par
ticular that Gurr especially excels 80 that
he can propel himself five or six feet each
stroke A long stroke could not be made in
any other way. The secret of the matter is
this that after the sharp contact of the
heels, your body instantly floats along, or
rather cuts through the water those five
feet without any other effort on your part.
The stroke made with the hands or arms is
really of small service, except to maintain
your balance on the water

The World says that Seymour is the first
statesman in the Democratic party and
possesses every personal qualification and
accomplishment which befit the Chief
Magistrate OF great nation. He has o
strong grasp of the questions relating to
the resuscitation of the shattered prospects
of the country, and his election will estab-
lish confidence both at home and abroad
in the financial honor Of the country.
Dg' "Goy. Seymours nomina-
ton has exerted wider influence upon
public affairs in the democratic party. No
man is better known or more admired. AS
an orator he not only has no equal in any
party in New York, but he has no rival.
Gifted with fine presence, with a re-
markable and copious flow of Ian
guage, with an eloquent diction, he
is unsurpassed as an orator. He Is the
pride and ornament of the Empire state.
He commenced life as democrat, and has
never wavered in his advocacy Of that po-
litical faith In his private life there is no
blemish. His morals are pure, his reputa-
ton untarnished. He was not d candidate
for the nomination, but repeatedly declin-
ed, and twas only upon the solicitation OF
the West and the unanimous voice OF the
convention that he accepted the nomina-
ton. Why then should henot be support
ed by the democracy of the entire country I
What objection can reasonably be urged
against him? His character, qualifications
are eminent. He is eminent as an orator
He is distinguished as q statesman. There
is no comparison between him and Grant,
either politically or personally, He will be
supported by the democracy, and will be
triumphantly elected.
He was not originally the choice OF the
West As is well known they preferred
with extraordinary unanimity the Hon.
Geo. II. Pendleton, but owing to adverse
circumstances he has been defeated and the
nomination has fallen upon Gov. Seymour
through the action Of Mr.. Pendleton's
friends, who do not hesitate to give him
their cordialsupport. Cincinnati Enquirer.
From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin, Radicall
The nomination Of Seymour under the
circumstances, is the strongest one that
could have been rlade He will unite
more thoroughly the rebel element in the
south, the genuine copperhead element In
the north, and the quasi democratic ele-
ment which still acts with the national
democratic party than any other man. He
is specious, plausible, and has the happy
faculty of acting with apparently diverse
and conflicting interests as q moderator
and compromiser He is o gentleman in
his address, most popular and winning in
his ways, and has secured thousands OF
warm friends by his personal attractions.
In truth, he is o winsome man, and may be
considered as respectable representative
of the modern democratic party as could be
obtained in the present exigency. Per-
sonally, we have known Mr.. Seymour for
many years In our early life we saw him
almost daily, and we have nurtured q strong
esteem for his genial and gentlemanly quail
ities, and for the creditablemanner in which
he appears in all public positions

Speech of Frank P. Blair.

New YORK, July 1.-THE following is
the speech made by Gen. Blair last even
ing, in reply to Gen. Morgan:
II accept the platform Of resolutions
passed by the late Democratic Convention,
and accept their nomination with feel
ings of the most profound gratitude; and /,
sir thank you for the very kind manner in
which you have conveyed to me the decis-
ion of the convention. l accept the nomi-
nation with the feeling that your nomina.
ton for the Presidencyis is one which will
carry us to certain victory, [applause,l and
because l believe that the nomination is
the most appropriate that could be made
by the Democratic Convention.
The contest which We wage is for the
restoration of constitutional government,
rcheersl and it is appropriate that we
should make this contest under the lead of
one who has given his life to the mainten-
ance of constitutional government. =
1Cheers. We make this contest for the
restoration of the prinRiples Of government
which belong to our race, and, my fellow
citizens, it is most proper that we should
select for our leader. not from the military
but one who has devoted himself to civil
pursuits, and the study Of, the understand
ing of our constitution, and its mainten-
ance with all the force Of reason and judg-
ment. Ny fellow-citizens have said that
the contest before us was one for the resto-
ration of our Government. 1t is also for
the restoration ofour race. Loud cheers.
It is to prevent the people Of our race be-
ing excluded from their homes, exiled from
the Government which they formed and
created for themselves and for their child
ren, and to prevent them from being driven
out into exile or trodden under the foot OF
q .semi-barbarous race Applause.l
In the contest we shall have the sympathy
of every man who is worthy to belong to
the white race, What civilized people on
the earth would refuse to associate with
themselves in all the rights and honors and
dignities of their country such men as
Lee and Johnson Voices, "None, none y
What civilized country would fail to do
honor to those who, fighting for an errone-
GUS cause, yet distinguished themselves by
gallantry never surpassed [Applause.
In that contest for which they sought to be
DISTINGUISHED and exiled from their homes,
in that contest they proved themselves to
be our peers. At this point was omihous
silence followed by repressed clapping Of
hands and faint cheers My fellow-citi-
zens, it is not my purpuse to makea
heightened address, but simply to express
my gratitude for the distinguished honor
which has been conferred upon me; and
now from. my heart Ireiterate the words
Of thanks that fell from my lips when l
rose" H fH Y.l
