The American Bathing Coast.


There is scarcely another long coast limo in the
world which offers go many opportunities for
summer leisure as onrs. Take Europe, for in

AT Ostend, Trouyille, and the Isle Of Wight,
the " secondary chill too often cnts short the
delight of the bather and the warmer wave of
Biarrtz or San Sebastian is only to be reached
by wealthy tourists. From Maine TO Georgia we
have nearly the same Summer ocean as from
southern England to the shores OF Morocco, ac-
eessible at almost every point, and with innu-
merable facilities for boating and fishing, fur
nshed by rivermouths bays, and sounds.
The greater part OF this possession is still un-
used. On the northern shore OF Long Island
Sound and the eastern coast of Massachusetts, u
Tow detached points are coming into notice, and

How the French Bring a Drowned
Man Hack 10 Life,

Tho author of 1.-THE French at Home says
that in his walk one morning lie saw man
pulled out Of the water apparently drowned. lie
was laid on the right side, the face turned to-
ward the ground. and the jaws gently opened to
facite the escape of water. Several Tunes tho
head was placed little lower than the rest of
the body for tho game purpose, but only for u
few seconds at Il time. In the meanwhile, there
was a regular manipulating process to i'll
duce breathing, which consisted IN pressing the
abdomen, stomach and sides of the chest, but
softly. The efforts were without effect tho
man looked as il he had seen the last OF earth.
Then the PROSTATE figure was carried 10 the
nearest station for tho rescue OF the drowned.
Here the man was stripped aud wiped dry, and
he was laid, turned on the side, between two
blankets on straw mattress the manipulating
process WAS resumed, with intervals OF about N
quarter of minute between each pressure OF
the body the pressure being repeated fifteen or
twenty times, followed by suspension of ten
minutes. Twenty minutes were spent in this
way when a physician employed Oh this kind of
service appeared and took charge of tho case.
A warming pan filled with hot water WAS passed
over tho body outside of the blanket, particu-
larly over the pit of the stomach and the sides
OF the chest This waa alternated with a gen
tie friction of hot woollen mittens and the naked
hands, and tho soles of the foot and tho
palms of the hands wore vigorously rubbed.
An operator breathed into tho mouth of the
man by means of tube. These efforts also
proving in VAIN, tho physician had recourse to
the Introduction of tobacco smoke into the in-
testines. In about ten minutes the man gave
feeble sign of life, whereupou all manipulation
was discontinued lost it should interfere with
tho natural movement. Soon he showed n de-
eire to vomit which was aasstt by feather
introduced into the throat. Low long tho
whole process lasted il not known, but the read.
or will aee that it was lengthy few days af
ter the writer attended n ball and among the
most lively dancers he saw the drowned man.

On Monday the heat was very oppressive, and
Of course tho natural tendency WIS TO the coolest
place. As there was more air on the shore than
in the grove, many wont down to spend the day.
As q consequence the congregations were small,
and not very inspiring, yet Rev. MIR. Stubbs of
Smyrna, in the morning, Rev. j. w. Simpers, of
tho Philadelphia Conference IN the afternoon,
and Rev. Mr.. Green, Of the Wilmington Con-
ference at night, each gave us good sermons, and
those who preferred to remain in camp, were
well paid. To-day, the .closing services will take
place, and tomorrow leave taking and moving
will be the order of the day.
Yesterday, (TnesdayD many who desired to
avoid the crowd OF the last morning of the

DR.. Matack and others responded, aud related
incidents of special answers to prayer, in their

they had prayed for others by name.
Rev. Mr.. Conoway Of the Wilmington Confer

everybody went to tho surf bathing, the day

Theodore Triton Begins Life Again.

Theodore riitou Begins Life Again.
On the very day that judge Nelson delivered
his charge to the jury Theodore Tilton re-
sumed those labors necessary to the main
tenance of himself and 20 much of his family
as the late terrible ordeal has left him. In
proof OF the application, industry and remarka-
BILE fertility of the man, it is only necessary to
state that the preparation Of new book, which
he began on the day aforementioned has 80 far
progressed that he expects to be able to put it
to press by the middle of next month. The
title ho has selected for it is "a Legend and
it will mako an octave volume of between two
hundred and fifty and three hundred pages
Tho resumption of literary labor seems to
haye had happy effect in partly relieving his
mind from the heavy sense of his domestic
msfortunes, and in enabling him to dsperse
some of those shadows that have long dark
ened his life. He rises early works until late
in the afternoon, dimes about five O'clock and
then refreshes himself by five or six mile
walk. Besides such work with his pen as he
has mapped out for himself, in addition to the
book now approaching completion, he is urgent
" solicited to deliver lectures in various parts
OF the country, and finds the demand utterly
beyond his power to meet it.-Broohiyn Argus
