The NosEBLEED 1t is worth while
toknow how TO stop bleeding from the
nose when it becomes excessive. If
the finger is pressed firmly upon the
little artery which supplies blood to
the side of the face affected, the result
is accomplished. The small arteries,
branching up from the main arteries
on each side of the neck, and passing
over the outside of the jaw bone, sup
ply the face with blood. If the nose
bleeds from the right nostril, for ex-
ample, pass the finger along the edge
of the right jaw till the beating Of
the artery is felt. Press hard upon
il, and the bleeding will cease Con.
tinue the pressure five minutes, until
the ruptured vessel in the nose has
time to contract.

CONNECTICUT ToBAcco.-A Con-
necticut tobacco firm is going TO try
a new plan for curing the 1871 crop.
Ordinarily, in that climate, it would
not be fit for use till after the hot
months, say in September. They
have conceived the idea of shipping
! cargo to warm climate, where it
will get the same degree of heat in
ecember, January and February,
that il would here in June, July and
August, and accordingly they made
early purchases of the finest crops of
1871 tobacco, green and in the val
ley, and shipped it to q port near
Havana. The value of the tobacco
shipped is about $1,000 and those
in charge report it as curing finely.

THE situation in France is still unsatis-

the Nation: '"The one certain result of the
imbroglio thus far is that the majority in
the Assembly has broken with NJ. Theirs,
and that there is little or no chance OF their
working together tremendously again
The Kerdel Committee, as it is called, have
reported in favor of ministerial RESPONSE
bility, and objected to NJ. Thiers's partici-
patton in the debates of the Assembly.
When thereport was read in the Assembly,
a motion for postponement, made in NJ
Thiers's interest, was carried by MAORI
ty Of only a, large numbers abstaining
from voting. On the other hand, the re-
tirement of NJ. Theirs would be regarded
by the country as a public calamity. The
Bank of France declares it would injure the
late loans, and there are storiee that Ger
many would look on it as an excuse for
asking fresh guarantees"
The later advices given elsewhere are of
an exciting character, and would seem to
indicate that the crisis can not long be
averted

WE call attention to the card of Mayor
Van Glider, elsewhere. We cheerfully
give place to his correction. We were sim
ply misinformed and had no intention OF
doing him any injustice. The point in
which we used it, was that under former
city administrations substantial improve
ments like the City Hall, Market House,
Steam Fire Engine, the grading of Water
street from the river to the railroad,
&C., in addition to other heavy
street work were left to show how
the taxes were expended, while under the
present administration everything went to
the streets. The school teachers and po-
lice as we are informed are behind some
months in their pay while the work in the
surburbs continues.

THE EXAMINATION.

THE EXAMINATION,
at the close of the Fall and Winter term
of this Institution, began Friday morning.
A number of the Examining COMMITTEES
and others were present. The department
of the members of the various classes ex-
amined was such as to evince rare thor
oughoness of discipline. In the examine
ton the most pleasing feature was the
absence of anything like a special lesson
treated and discussed in an impartial
manner. It was evident that "what the
book says" was not all that had been
taught. A familiarity with principles
beyond the compass of ordinary text
books was displayed by many of the
classes.
All present seemed to be well pleased,
and the patrons of the school who were
present expressed high sense of salts
faction.
The examination continues Monday.
The standing and general department of
the students will be read in the afternoon
which scleses the work. of the present

OUR contemporary seems anxious to
create the impression that we are making
serious charges against the private charac-
ter Of Mayor Van Glider. We have SIM
ply to say in reply, that those intimate
friends of the Mayor who are SO indiscreet-
~, publicly and freely boasting on the
streets about the vast amount of money to
be spent in the canvass on their side, are
making worse charges than we are. Such
boasts are more damaging than anything
we can saw. At the proper time we have
names. facts and figure to present that Will
speak for themselves. The people VIII
then understand how it is that so much
money is forthcoming to be spent in a city
election.

A NEW QUESTION.

The treaty of Washington and the
award of the Geneva Tribunal make it
necessary for Congress to legislate upon
subjecs of vital interest to US as nation.
Able writers upon international law who
have carefully studied the arguments sub
mitted before the Geneva Tribunal and
the principles established by the decisions
of the arbitrators seem to think that new
and trying neutral duties are imposed
thereby. 1t is thought that these duties
will be particularly difficult in our case be-
cause of the division of powers between
the States and the national Government.
The new principle established is in effect
that neutral power can not shield itself
from obligations imposed by the law of
Nations upon plea of want of authority
by Rssenxef peculiar structure of its
Government. A reference.to some of the
diplomatic correspondence of Secretary
of State Daniel Webster, for example,
would disclose case in which according
to the new principles established by the
Geneva decision, our Government would
be in an embarrassing position. In the
case referred to, citizen of Canada was
held under the statutes of New York for
murder, in a case where the Government
of Great Britain claimed he was not sub
ject to trial by municipal court. Demand
was made of our Government for his release.
Secretary Webster, in a mastery letter
explained to the English Government that
the prisoner was held under Indictment
from State tribunal and that this Cow
eminent could not interfere until he was
discharged by the local authorities. 1t is
claimed that now our Government would
be debarred, under the precedent estab-
iished, in the Geneva award, from setting
up such "a defence, because by our own
claim we assert that no internal limitations
on the power of Government should ex-
cuse it from its duty to foreign Govern
ments. AS to them we assume to bea Gov
eminent and must therefore answer for all
the responsibilities of one. If we are Grip
pied by internal conflicts or weaknesses
that is our loss. This, we say, is the legit-
innate consequence of the Geneva Award,
as now claimed by such authority as the
Nation.
If this proves to be the new responsible
ity imposed upon our Government by the
decision referred to it will indeed be try
ing one. Wedoubt whether legislation by
Congress can give the Government the
authority to protect itself in the new re-
sponsibilities imposed. In many cases, we
can imagine likely to occur in war, moth
ing short of the surrender of sovereign
powers by the States could vest in the Gen
eral Government the necessary authority.
The subject is new one in our politics
and one worthy of serious study.
