what to Do in Case of Accident.

Prof. Wilder, of Cornell University,
gives these short rules for action in case of
accident. 1t would not be bad thing to
cut them out and carry them in ones
pocket-book, or, better yet, commit them
to memory:
For dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing /;
dash water in them remove cinders, ETC.,
with the round point of lead-pencil.
Remove insects from the ear by tepid
water-never put hard instrument into
the ear.
If an artery is cut, compress above the
wound if vein is cut, compress below. q
If fchoked, get upon all fours and cough.
For slight burns, dip the part in cold
water; if the skin is destroyed, cover with
varnish.
Smother fire with carpets, etc.; water
will often spread burning oil, and increase
danger. Before passing through smoke,
take full breath and then stoop low; but
if carbon is suspected, walk erect,
Suck poisoned wounds, unlessafyour
mouth is sore enlarge the wound, or, bet
ter, cut out the part without delay; hold
the wounded part as long as can be borne
to hot coal or end of cigar.
In case of poisoning, excite vomiting by
tickling the throat or by warm water and
mustard.
For acid poisons, give alkalis; for aka
line poisons, give acids-white of eggs is
good in most cases; in a case of opium
poisoning, give strong coffee, and keep
moving. g
For appoplexy, raise the head and bodJ /;
for fainting lay the person flat.

A new advertising dodge has just been
invented in Paris. OF late large number
of bank bills have been seen in circulation
with slips of paper pasted on the back. AT
first it was supposed that the bill had been
torn and mended, but as the same thing
was seen on new bills, a more careful ex-
animation was made. 1t was found that
an enterprising tradesman had pasted his
advertisements upon the back of the cur,
rency of the realm, and taken this novel
way of getting his business cards into cir
culation. A complaint has been made to
the government, and the question of right
has to be decided. We would advise busi-
ness men here not to try this experiment
on our national currency until the French
courts have decided upon the question of
legality.

SENATE.
The special committee on internal i'm

man, Conkling, Ames, Lewis, Casserly,
Norwood and Rice, offered q resolution to
investigate the Arkansas election.
The French spoliation bill was argued to
adjournment. Sherman spoke adversely
and Morrill,, of Maine, fayorably to the bill.
HOUSE.
In the House to-day, Gen. Young, of
Georgia, offered his resolution regarding
the Credit Mobelier, extending the inves-
LEGATIONS of the committee to the losses suf-
fered by his constituents from the Union
Pacific railroad. The resolution produced
considerable excitement in the House.
The resolution was choked off by call for
the regulOr order.
The House Committee on commerce this
morning heard the argument on the At
lantic and Great Western -Canal.g Much
interest was manifested and the commit
tee room was filled at an early hour by
members from Alabama, Georgia and Vir-
ginia. Col. B. w. Frebel opened the case
in carefully prepared address, in which
he clearly pointed out the national impor-
tance and great need of this interior line,
and showed, pointedly and clearly, the
decline of our foreign trade, the evils under
which our home industries suffer, the
CAUSES WHICH IOTCo Tie manufacturer 10
seek protection and the depressing infiu-
ences operating against the South and
West. He pointed out the cause of the
evil and the remedy to be applied, which,
he stated, was clearly set forth in the
Pesidents message, and closed with
glowing description of the future to this
country with every section, united again
in the bonds Of peace and good will toward
each other. The argument was listened to
with marked attention.
Col. Price followed in an able argument
on the beneficial effect of this outlet in
regulating the money market of the coun-
try. The committee will report the bill at
an early day. The views of these gentle
men attract attention as showing that the
South is taking deep interest in the ma
terial prosperity of the county, and that
she is looking closely into the question of
national trade and finance with the object
not of throwing obstacles in the way, but
of herself taking a step to the music of ad-
Vancement.
Col. Whiteley, Generals DuBose and
Young took part in the discussion and ablv
recorded the efforts of Colonels Price and
FTObel ''>, i ''ii0
Additional appropriations for the COM
mission to enquire into the Mexican den
relations were referred. The creditmobilier

To Keep Onions.

Onions stand more cold than is supposed,
SO writerin the New England Homestead
says, who advises packing them dry in
tight barrels, and filling the interstices
with chaff. They may then be kept in a
barn where they will freeze quite hard
without injury, providing the barrels are
keptclosed tight, and are not opened until
the onions are again thawed. 1t is a bad
practice to keep them where they will
sprout and then decay, emitting very
disagreeable odor.
