How 70 Rescue the browning.

1t is a mans first and most noble duty
the saving Of life; and he who saves
body and soul from a too hurried sever
ance by drowning has done no mean
action. To the ordinary unthinking
mind it may seem a mere matter of
course that a strong swimmer should
plunge in and haul out q drowning per-
son, but it is no such thing. 1t requires
courage, readiness, GOODNESS and prompt.
tude. Before. going to the rescue a
swimmer should rid himself Of every en-.
cumbrance he can possibly, without en-
dangerlng the salvation of the person in
trouble. Goats, boots, pO%ntaloons should
be torn of in order. 1t is better to re-
move these and be free than 10 hurry in
u%nprepared. II there is a rope or plank
at hand use them. Take the rope in one
hand, having cleared if to pay out, but
fling the plank in ahead Of you aud push
along. In approaching the drowning
person be carful not to let him get a grip
of you if he has lost presence of mind.
Get him, if possible. by the arm above
the elbow, support him by treading water
and keeping both hands under water. If
he is rational, obedient aud capable, let
him rest his hands upon your hips whilst
you swim ashore with him. II he is sen
sible, but disoOedieut, keep him at arms
length, il necessary by a hard kick about
the thighs, which will prevent his twin
ing his legs around you, and swim in
slowly, treading water rather than swim
ming, If the person is already insensi-
Bile, take hold Of the wrist and draw the
arm over the shoulder and the body on
to your back, and go ahead, swimming
with one hand, but keeping the other un-
der water. If in rescuing any one you
are seized and e~ntangled with terrified
arms and legs do not struggle, but take
in plenty of breath aud go under. The
hold will be loosed when the breath is ex-
hausted, aud in returning 10 the rescue
be watchful and use force if necessary to
~incspacitate the struggler from endan-
gering himself and you. 10 assisting
persons who are sensible, always make
them lay their hands on hips or waist,
aud not on your shoulders, as 10 the lat
ter case you have to bear weight; in the
former you have only to tow a floating
body, for with the slight support afforded
by the resting Of the hands upon any
object so low down, the resting body is
almost in its b%uoyant position.

ton.
JOHNNY Ford, the Poplar street timer,
met with quite a serious accident on
Main street, in front Of Walker Brothers,
yesterday afternoon about 6 o'clock.
He was driving his light spring wagon
briskly up the street when a wheel struck
the end Of q street car rail that had
sprung several inches from the ground,
aud he was thrown out headforemost
The wagon turned over, and the horse
ran two squares up the street and a
caught. Mr.. Ford was considerably
hurt and bruised, and the wagon was
BADLY smashed. 1t is supposed that q
few spikes had come ont of the rail,
leaving it free to wabble up aud down as
cars or vehicles passed over it. OF
course the company is too poor and
economical to pay any attention to
repairs. The track is in miserable
order on nearly every route, and
is the meanest, without doubt, in
the. United States. After the head
officers Of the company draw their
salaries for the work hal the boys do
in the Offices there is not much left to
keep the road in order. AS to the &C
commodation of the public, that is out
OF the question. 1t is calculated that a
certain number are obliged to, and will
ride, any how. This brings in a certain
revenue, from which the salaries of high
paid officials come first, aud the little
stockholders can whistle for dividends
So men may call spirits from the Vastly
deep, but will they come?
People who drive vehicles lose thou
sands of dollars a year by damages to
wheels, azles and springs, in crossing
the rails or trying to get out of the ruts
of this i'll shapen railway. Many a fine
buggy has been ruined in this way. Such
another track cannot be found in the
country. 1t looks, in most places.
like it had been made of iron taken from
old railroads and laid down for q TEN.

wooahuII as a Litsrntsnr

This is called forth by a recent article
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, and copied
widely into the press, to make it impos.
BILE for a similar error to be repeated ig
norantly;
It has been widely reported that Ste
phen Pearl Andrews and myself are the
authors of Victoria G. Woodhulls litera-
ry etforts-her books, her speeches, and
her printed articles. As her husband
and the natural protector Of her reputa-
ton, | pronounce this wholly false. She
never knew Mr.. Andrews till 1870. For
nearly four years, during which she has
been speaking through the lecture season
extemporaneously, she has bad nothing
whatever to do with him, nor has he writ.
ten a line for her, or scarcely seen her.
Her social views are wholly different
from his. She believes woman shonld
be worshipped as Gods rarest work; he
believes she should bow to him as the
greater than Jesus Christ. These differ
ences were irr~econcilable, and she has
long since recognized it, and ceased to
meet him. She owes him nothing, save
the calumny that rests upon her name
by the association.
l first knew Victoria G. Woodruff

her literary productions in the spring of
1864. She was then, among her circle of
acquaintance, accounted a most brill
liant literary character. | had just left

From the Denver Tribuno.l

rum tuo Dohfel AElbuuCsl
Quite an amusing incident occurred at
the depot at Colorado Springs on the ar
rival of the train from Denver, having
on board delegates TO the Republican
caucus at Manitou. Ameng their mum
Der was Colonel Enos Hopkins, father of
Major Hopkins, proprietor of the Mani
tou House, who, on his alighting on the
platform, vas ~accosted by a friend in
curing if he vas going to Manitou. Not
hearing the ColoRel answer, he mede the
remark that the Cliff House was the best
hotel in Manitou, and that be had better
stop there. The runner of the Manitou
Mansions, standing neal and taking ex.
ceptions to the remarks, approached the
old gentleman aud presented the card Of
his house. representing that it was the
only hrst-class house in the place, etc.
The Major, seeing the runners working
with his father, aud always in for fun, ap-
preached the old gentleman, and pre-.
sented the card of the Manitou House,
and, going through the formula that
hotel runners indulge 10, wound up with
the remark that he had his buggy over,
and that he could ride to Manitou with
him. The man from the Mansions, not
to be outbid by the Major, said he would
provide a buggy, and could assure the
delegate that better accommodations
would be had at his house. The Major,
after seeing the sport and seeing the
hesitancy of the old gentleman, who was
taking in all the fun, approached and
said hat il be would go over with him he
would chalk his hat as long as he would
remain. This was too much for the op-
position runner = be weakened right
there, and said that was further than his
instructions went. He found out his
