THE opinion is prevalent that if the
G%caSer-Democrats stop short of actual rev.
olution, the Potter investigation will
simply result in the bcspattcrng of the Ad-
ministratiOn or some of its members by
means Of partisan mud-throwing, while the
Republican party. as party, will he made
stronger in the affections of the people. But
we shall see what we shall see
National Republican., 1878-05-22

THE Democrats are greatly alarmed at
what they interpret as nomination on
Monday OF General GRANT for the Presi-
dency in lSSO by Senator SARGENT, OF
California, and Senator BLAINE, of Maine.
These extremes are rather remote, but there
will be no difficulty in filling the interven-
ing space with the same purpose.
National Republican., 1878-05-22

THE New York sun insists that we shall
get rid of our navy, and the Democrats that
we shall abolish or cripple our army. Leave
the nation without any defense and DANA
and the Democrats will be perfectly happy.

TIE SARGENT amendment TO the bill re-
firing General SHIELDS was sufficiently
pruncd of its Objectionable features to make
it acceptable to the Republicans and at the
same time to test the non-partisan profess
sions Of the Democracy. 1t will receive the
commentator of the people everywhere,
who have not forgotten General GRANTS
patriotic services during the war however
much he may have been truduced by polit-
cal opponents since then. The history of
the bill is simply that the Democrats were
driven intOa recognition OF General SHIELDS
because Of his prominence rs a candidate for
DDOrkeeper in the House and of their des..
to make n show or pretcnse of regard for a
manned Union soldier II was amended
by Republican votes in the Senate so as to
include n complimentary recognition OF
General GRANT. But the Democrats. Us
soon as General GRANT, the conqucror OF
the rebellion, became possible participant
in its benefits, rallied sufficient strength to
defeat its passage The precedent it was
intended to establish is good one MOnu-
mcnts to the living are distastciul and are
neglected to the dead but this act would
have proved that Republics are not always

When the organ of the Democratic party

To ANY ONE familiar with the history of
Mexico and the republics Of south America,
the present situation in the United States
presents very few points Of novelty. \ half
a generation ago the bare idea of such
situation ever occurring in this country
would have been hOOtcd at But here we
are McXicanized up to the very eyes by
the revolutionary course of the Democracy,
the only lacking requisite to complete the
simlc being the echoes of firing squad Of
partisan sOldicry and the dying Shricks of
the victims Of political assassination. From
the beginning Of this serious muddle-thc
call Of Boo PEEP WATTERsUN for 100000
unarmcd lambs, tie organization of the
Veteran Coppcrhcads under General jim
STEEDMAN, and the creation of the Elcc-

ton by the House of the electoral count rs
fraud upon right and justice, AS well as
the subsequent and pending reputation of
that count by the Democracy, every step
that party has taken to secure its own su-
prcmucy in the Government has emitted
all the flavor and inconstancy of allegiance
that charactcrizcs the Mexican Greaser.

Holding tho Breath Under Water.

lr Il probable that the entrance of
water into the lungs has great deal
to do with tho painlessncss of drown
ing. It is certain that Inconsistencies
comes on more quickly when the per-
son is deprived Of air because the lungs
are filled with water, than when the air.
passages are closed, while the lungs re-
main Intact. Most persons can hold
their breath for a minute, very many
for minute and hslf, some for two
minutes. In one of the variety thea
ters of New York appeared recently
1.-The Brilliant Pearl of the Enchanted
Grotto, christened Undine, who per-
forms, while under water, incased in q
mammoth crystal illuminated glass
tank, feats of astonishing suppleness
and almost unbelievable endurance"
This performer can probably remain
under water, holding her breath volun-
tarily, two minutes, and perhaps more.
have myself, watch in hand, seen
johnson, the celebrated ocean-swim-
mer, remain under water, in tank be-
fore an audience, for the astonishing
space of three minutes and twenty Sec
onds, and, before he rose, the involun-
tary contractions of his respiratory
muscles were uncomfortable to witness.
In such cases, although extreme dis
tress may be felt, there is no approach
to Inconsistencies. But, if q person
head is under water, and he does not
hold his breath, unconsciousness will
usually come on in one or two minutes
at the farthest.-Dr. r. s. Tracy, in
Popular Science Monthly for May.
