that they do represent 800, 000, 900 of

A new mode of resuscitating drowned
persons, and others suffering from as.
phyxia, consists in placing the patient
on his back with his arms extended. A
roll OF elething is then laid below the
false ribs so as to throw their anterior
margin into prominence. The operator
then kneels astride the patient, placing
his hands so that the balls of the thumbs
rest apon the false ribs, while the fingers
fall naturally in the depressions between
the ribs OF each side. An assistant
holds the tongue of the patient, and the
operator, with his elbows firmly pressed
against his sides, throws his whole weight
forward, by which the false ribs are
pressed upward and inward, producing
great motion of the diaphragm, and dis.
placement Of the contents of the lungs.
Suddenly raising his body, the operator
allows the false ribs to return to their
position, producing a corresponding
movement in the diaphragm and thrush

THE MEN WHO GOT HURT IN
CHICAGO.

Not less than two million dollars is a
moderate estimate of the loss sustained
by the recent decline in grain held in
Chicago alone. Yet only one city firm
succumbed, while none Of the others
are even embarrassed. Nor do the
banks reflect the disturbance in the
least. The crash was spread over an
unusual surface, and the victims are
numerous, but unknown, being
almost exclusively country hold
ers." The one firm that
failed was really doing a brokerage
business for these farming SPECTATORS.
Our Eastern exchanges do not seem to
understand the situation yet, as they
are abusing Chicago dealers and bank
ers for boarding, and in the same breath
expressing establishment that neither
of these two classes betray any weak
ness on account Of the crash, and ap-
pear quite as able and disposed to cor
tinue the process Ofhoarding as though
nothing had occurred. The actual
fact Is that the Chicago men, being all
on the "short" side, have profted i'm
mensely by the decline, and the banks
of that city ought to be prOportionally
stronger. Very few have suffered out
side of the country people who have
held their produce in hope of higher
prices, until DOW the promising pros
poets of fresh crops force prices down
ard inevitably.

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST IN
MAINE
New York Tribune.

An interesting feature in the next
campaign In Maine will be the contest
between the factions of the Republ-
can party, led by Senator Morrill, and
Mr.. Blaine, over the formers seat in
the United States Senate. The Legis-
lature Of 1876 is to choose the success
sor, and as it is customary in the State
to re-elect next year the State Senators
newly chosen this year, part Of the
contest Is to be decided now. 1t Is
said to be no secret In Maine that the
ex-Speaker is going to do his best to
secure Mr.. MOrrill's seat. and it is
equally evident that Mr.. Morrill, is de-
termined to do his best to keep posses
sion. Mr.. Blaine is said to have car
ried his point in securing the nomina-
ton Of Gen. Selden Conner for Cover
nor, but beyond that nothing is as yet
determined.

THE TURN INTHEW HEATMARKET
I-nited Sfatcs Economist

1t Is not probable that there will be
any further very serious decline IN the
Chicago markets. Prices have already
touched the point which permits of a
general movement Of produce to the
sea board and even permit of expOrta-
ton. This would give immediate relief
to the business interests of the whole
country, and impart TO 1t a renewed and
enduring prosperity. But operators
are extremely cautious, and will be so
long as the markets remain IN a transit
ton state. This, however, can only be
temporary. The latest news from
Europe Is more favorable for an active
export demand. Gable dispatches rep
resent that a severe drouth prevails in
France and that the wheat harvest will
be below the average. The French har-
vest always exercises q decided influence
on the European markets. That coun-
try has no margin for a surplus on
a barely average crop, and with any
thing less than this 1t Is compelled to
enter into competition WITH England
for the worlds surplus supply of food.
1t Is significant that the Mark Lane
Express, the great grain authority Of
England, anticipates a speedy advance
In the price Of breadstuffs. Views OF
this kind advanced on the eve of the
new harvest, when prices usually fall,
indicate that the European crop pros
poets are less fattering than they have
been represented.
As the stocks at the seabOard are
unusually small, II i require only a
comparatively im4..L export demand
to induce considerable activity IN our
internal trade. The indications are
favorable that for the remainder Of the
year there viii be at least a moderately
active shipping demand. The present
visible supply" is not very large, but
it only requires a slight advance of
price to bring forward an adequate
supply from farmers. Next week the
harvest Will commence in California,
and a month hence 1t viii be general in
all but the more noTtherly States. For
tunately, 1t Is now ascertained that the
accounts Of the grasshopper devasta-
tons were greatly exaggerated. Even
in Missouri where the alarm was SO
great as to induce the Governor to set
apart a day Of fast, prayer and suppl
cation, the losses will be comparatively
slight But no matter what may be
the occasion, the general Observance of
the day cannot but result to the moral
improvement Of the people. Indeed,
taken altogether, it now looks as if our
leading crops in the whole United
States are likely to reach the average
Of last year if they do not exceed it.

4 DESPERATE CASE AND DIsA-
GREEING DOCTORS,

The London Economist calls attention
t. the fact that commercial depression
exists alike in North America and
South America, and seeks an explana-
ton in the circumstances that both are
food and raw material producing
countries as contradistinguished from
manufacturing. 1t expresses the opin-
ion that, IN countries devoted to raising
such products, the business Of prUduc-
ton is peculiarly liable to be overdone;
and argues that as manufacturing
countries are not so much exposed to
the danger Of over-production, they
have an advantage over the more purely
agricultural countries which accounts
for the present comparative prosperity
Of England as contrasted with the
state Of the American populations and
those of France and Germany, also
large food producinginations.
From this view the Ne10 York BulIe-
tin dissents IN toto, and as igns reasons
therefor which appear to us unanswer-
able. A given country or district may
produce an amount Of a given article
Of food or raw material in excess of the
wants of the worlds possible consump-
ton of such article, and may suffer
loss therefrom; but that this is possible
of the whole range Of raw materials
and food among all countries pro-
ducing them, we cannot understand.
Such increased production would IN.
doubtedly reduce the money value Of
the products, but it would correspond
ingly diminish the costs of living, Of
laborand of manufactured goods, there
by affording an equivalent compensa-
ton to the producers of raw mate
rails and food; and the result to them
would be an increased amount Of en-
joyment and Of opportunity for accu-
mulating substantial wealth; for it is
one of the surest maxims Of political
economy that cheapness Is synonoy-
nous with prosperity. The mauufac-
turing nations would,of course, beprof-
tied by such an abundance Of raw pro-
ducts, inasmuch as they would have to
urn more material into goods; but they

HONORS TO MRS. STONEWALL
JACKSON.
Charlotte u. c. Observer.


The handsomest thing Of the Centen-
NAL occasion was the honor paid Mrs.
Stonewan Jackson by the Raleigh light
artillery company and the Raleigh
light infantry, and by the steam fire
company Of Newbern, and the citizens
band of the same place. The Raleigh
companies both called at the residence
of Col. Jno. E. Brown, on North Trade
street, where Mrs. Jackson lives, aud gave
three cheers for her. In response to
these Miss Julia, the only daughterof the
immortal Stonewal, came out and pre-
scented both companies with bouquet,
after which, upon returning to camp,
each of the companies fired a salute In
honor Of the widow of the Christian
hero. The Newbern band and fire
company called also, and gave three
cheers for Mrs. Jackson. They, too,
were presesented with flowers by Miss
Julia, afterwhich the fremen were re-
ceived by and shook hands with Mrs.
jackson. They spent a few moments
in the parlor, looking at a large pOr-
trait of the General, then silently de-
parted, many of them wiping away the
fast falling tears.

AN importantIrailroad suit was re-
Gently decided at Auburn, n. Y, in
which VIM. B. Torpe, of that city, was
plaintiff, and the New York Central
and Hudson River Railroad Company
the defendant. The plaintiff set forth
that he was unable to find a seat in any
of the ordinary cars Of the train while
coming from Syracuse to Auburn, and
took a seat in the Wagner drawing
room car. The conductor demanded
extra fare from him, which be refused.
The porter thereupon elected him from
the car, tearing his clothing and in
fIicting some slight scratches, on &C
count of which he sued the company
for $4,000 damages. The jury allowed
plaintiff $1,000. According to this de-
cision, railroad companies are under
obligations to furnish seats for all pas
sengers, and if they are not to be OBJ
tanned in the ordinary cars the draw
ing-room cars may be occupied without
extra charge.

HONE VS.. THE SUMNER RESORTS

It is said that a very seasOnable sub
ject is at present occupying the atten.
ton Of fashionable society In New
York-namely, whether to go out Of
town as usual in the hot months, or TO
stay at home, and that theTeis a pretty
strong feeling on the home side
There are certainly many reasons for
a change IN the fashion of leaving the
city in summer, such, for instance, as
the following:
/. There is every convenience and
continuance for comfort at home, and
very few either in vehicles or at sum-
mer resorts.
,. If it is hot IN ones house in the
city, it Is still hotter IN railroad cars
and assembly rooms at hotels. Be-
sides, one can contend with the heat at
home in an elegant undress, while at
Saratoga OF the Branch full dress is
required.
8. Business has not been sufficiently
profitable to afford spending money in
travelling about, or living at places
which must make years income in
two months.
4. There is really NOR command Of
fine fruit, fine fish, pure milk, and
every other comfort in New York than
at airy summer resort.
5. None Of the watering places have
so fine a drive as Central or Prospect
Park.
6. Work-people in New York, as well
rs the INDECENT, sadly miss the families
which go out of town.
?. The plea that business men, who
work at high pressure the rest of the
year, need a long vacation, is futile for
they do not get much Of it. 1t is the
ladies who do not work at high press
-ure that get it, and a tiresome thing it
is to many of them,
