How To LEARN TO SwIM.-A writer in
the american; Agriculturist offers the fol-
lowing suggestions, by obedience to which
the art Of swimming may be readily ac-
quired
Whe1I was q boy, learned to swim by
means OF 20 Swimming board. This is the
safest method possible. If corks are used,
they nsg slip from around the breast down
benaath The body, throwing the head below
the surface, and putting the wcarer in
danger of drowning.
Some country boys get two bladders and
then tie them together with u short cord,
and use these as supports. They are the
most dangerous things Possible for boy to
have. -
s The board is perfectly safe, and one may
learn to swim in very shor. time by using
one. 1t should be over four feet long, over
foot wide, and two inches thick, made of
soft white puc or cedar. TO use it, boy
wades into the water up to his shoulders,
then, taking hold Of the end of the board,
he pushes it before lim-towards the bank,
and not into deeper water-springs forward
with his feet, and throws himself fat upon
the water. This movement carries him
Il iCN lcCI. llC tuSn uTaW5 up DOlu
his legs at the same time, keeping the knees
as far apsfr as possible, and tlrcW yrikes
out with both feet, not straight backward,
but sideways, just as frog does. The
stroke is made slowly, and is repeated again,
drawing up the legs slowly and steadily
The board keeps the head above water
When the leg-stroke has been learned, one
hand is taken from the board and tho stroke
learned, or the chin may be rested on the
board while the stroke is taken with both
hands. This is very good plan, as it
compels the swimmer to keep his hands
under the water, which he should always
do. By-andby the board may be pushed
ahead, and the young swimmer may swim
after it, always keeping it within reach
When number Of boys so to swim, they
should alwgs have two or three of these
boards with hem for use in case of any ac-
| cident

FAT SHEET, COOP WooI.-Coloncl Tom
Crutchficd, of Tennessee, argues that the
wool betrays the condition of the Sheep
lie says "Any sudden change from 4 fat
to poor condition, and ricc rcrSu,
strengthens or diminishcs the fibre of tn ,
wool, which detracts greatly from its value,
frequently rendering the long woods value
less as combing wool'-that the different
periods at which the sheep was fat or lean
show in the wool!
This IS an important point for the consid-
Grafton Of sheep raisers, and nevessitatcs
the keeping of sheep in good order through
out the year, in order to be able to realize a
good profit from the wool. According to
this, the wool from poor sheep is of little
value, and when put upon the market as
good wool, causes somebody to suffer-. .Su.

Democratic Love for T., Union Soldiers.

10 thc Editor ofbs National Republican:
siR The FOa seems to be considerably exercised
as to the manner In which the disabled soldiers"
arc treated by the Departments In making clerical
appointments and the Democratic House has taken
the matter up and proceeded to investigate" by
calling on the Departments for information. The
replies Of the different d Ipartments are now being
prepared. and when completed, will show that
mlly one half Of all the persons In the employ of
the Government at Washington arc soldiers, or the
widows or daughters Of soldiers II Is TO he h0rcl
that this information. when finished, will be sntS
factory 10 the IOa and itS "ex-uulOn soldier cor
respondent, and the H0use Of Representatives
ought certainly to be satisfied since the percentage
OF disabled soldiers" appointed IN the Depart.
ments, under the provisions Of section 1851 of the
Revised Statutes Is actually greater than II Is
the soldiers roll" Of the House. This Democrat tc
love for the soldier Is pretty well understood by the
soldiers of the country and is fully appreciated;

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN has moth
ing to do with the endeayors Of the Clcve-
land Herdh TO read the Leddcr out of the
Republican party" for Republicanism as
illustrated in Ohio as it appears to man
up tree outside of that State, is of such a
diversified character that IL is difficult at
times to tell who is in and who is out of the
party. One thing we do know, however,
and that is that frank, straightforward, un-
yielding opposition to tho Democracy has
not been shining characteristic of the
Cleveland Herald. Its political course, un-
der its present management, has been Of
the weakened, conciliatory kind that
prompts 1t when the enemy offers terms to
20 over, body and soul, into the Opposition
camp. Cancellation, such as we demand,
and such as we believe the Leader desires,
is not of this truc%ling style. Half way is
all we think either party can go in that di-
rection and preserve its dignity or self-re-
spect.

ALrenrs of Tensions.

To bh Editor of The National Republican:
SIR: II is now about two months since you
kindly urged the passage Of the above named bill
which ellcitel the statement in the House from
the honorable chairman Of the Committee on In.
valid PcnsiOns that the committee was maturing
bill for that purpose. and that II would be re-
ported as soon as possible.
Now III be honestly intended that the hill
should become law at this sGssiOn why, may !
ask, has no effort been made to report and pass ~
The Senate would require some time t. consider
the bin ami the soldiers feel that II not reported
and passed by the llOuse very soon, they to be
still longer deprived of their just rights,

THE neutrality of our evening cotempo-
rary, the StGr,in politics is so determined that
il sometimes carries it to the extent of mis-
reprcscntation,asw witness its assertion ycster-
day that the Republicans in the House have
placed themselves in the apparent attitude
"of resisting investigation" into the alleged
election frauds in l-7G. "Apparcnt" is good
from Democratic standpoint. The charge
Of Republican resistance in this connection
only becomes apparent when the situation
is viewed thcreirom and through Demo-
cr'tiC spcctaclcs. The truth Is. the Title
Investigation. as attempted by the Dcmoc-
rIcy, is resistance to the just and compre-
hensive non partisan inquiry advocated hv
Republicans who propose to make the cx-
r0sme sweeping and complete, regardless
OF personal or partisan consequences.

ONE of the Learned Doctors of tic Work
ingmcn's Assembly arraigned THE NA-
TToNAL REPUBLICAN at the last meeting of
that body for doing something or another,
he didn't explain exactly what, "to keep
down the workingmrn, and dcnouncc
them for attempting to get employment
II is possible this eminent patriot has been
msreported; but it is certain that, if he
said what has been credited to him, he is
cminently and despicihiy incorrect. THE
REPUBLICAN has ever been the warm friend
Of the workingman and the consistent sur
porter of the objects of the Workingmcn's
Assembly. The other day, it is true, we
took occasion to say something about Com
munism in connection with the Labor
League, another and different organization
mems Assembly. This was not intended
nor can it be construed ns inimical to the
workingman.' We add that when tho
idle, the vicious and the diSrcputable, com.
bine in the name of Labor to serve com.
munistic ideas. as those ideas have been it,
Illustrated in Europe and tlis country, too
for that matter, we shall denOunce them
unsparingly. The Workingmrn's Assembly
is not composed Of this class. Its objects
are honorable and worthy OF earnest sup.
port. We have no fault to find even with its
methods of attaining those objects, but W,
do object to being misrcpresentcd in its de

A CORRESPONDENCE asks if il would not
be cheaper to repair the lcvees on tn" Mis-
sissippt River with plate iron rather than to
be making millions of appropriations for
thai purpoS" yearly: He suggests that once
done with IRON it would last for wears, and
recommends that the bill shall authorize
each State uboundng in iron ore to manu-
Gcturc and ship these plates South, thereby
producing revival Of business, giving en-
pluymrnt to thu idle, and cirulutiu, :,
large sum Of money through the different
States, thus rcviymg and quickcning trade.
We think there is some merit in the suu-
Gcston Of our correspondent if Congrcs,
shall determine to pcrpctually protect the
plantations Of the Southern farmers from
overflow at the public expense. 1t certainly
would give life and activity to the non in
tcrcst Of the country and increase tho flood

THE Republicans in the House have the
command Of the situation. They continue
to keep the Democracy on the defensive

which is encouraging.
