Rcsuscitating the Apparently
Drowned.

DR.. Howard, MS medical officer o
New York harbor, has had much To d'
IN the rcsuscltation Of persons apparent
" drowned. and his method has received
t4c approval of the New York Acade'
my of Medicine. II has already gained
tue natural prize Of the American Medi'
cal Association, and has been adopted
by the Lifc-Saving Society Of New York
Il Is described us follows;
a. TO PUMP AND DRAIN FLUIDS FROM
LUNGS AND STOMACH This Is done by
placing the patient face downward
over hard roll of clothing, so that the
nit of the stomach is the highest point,
while the mouth Is the lowest. The OPP
orator implements the pressure of his
hands upon the back of the patient,
above the roll, II necessary, with all the
weight and force at his command.
(2.) ron ARTIFICIAL BREATHiNG.--The
patient whose clothing is ripped up
from the waist, Is laid upon his back,
and the pit Of the stomach Is made the
highest point by n hard roll Of clothing
beneath the back, while the head Is the
lowest part The wrists are crossed be-
hind the head, these u second person
II present, pins to the ground with one
hand, while with the other The tongue
Is held forward by n piece of dry rag.
The greatest possible expansion of the
chest IL thus obtained. The operator.
kncclmg nstride the patient, grusps the
most comprcssIblc part Of the chest, on
each side Of the pit Of the stomach and
using his knees as n pivot, throws for
ward, slowly and steadily, his whole
weight, til his mouth nearly touches
the face Of The patient. Them by final
push, he throws himself back 10 his
frat erect knccllng position. by this
sudden removal Oi the compresslng
force, the elastic ribs spring bnck to
their original position, and by this bel
lows action the mir rusles into and X
forced out Of the chest alternately, as In
the natural breathing. Success mny Mt
tend this process IN n few minu,cs, but
hope Of u favorable result ought not 10
be given mp under M hour.
IN addition to It's apparently superior
effectiveness, Dr. Howard claims for
this method the advantage Of uncpuHlled
simplicity. When he had Tie medical
surveillance of such matters IN New
York, hc found that one Of the most
noted facts connected with eases Of sul-
location and drowning was the probable
absence Of medical aid ut the critical
moment. Experience has shown that
this method cnn easily be understood by
the most Illlicatc persons, and may be
carried into execution anywhere, with
or without doctor.--Journoi NJ Chcmis-

AN ALLEGED CURE For CANCER
Our attention has been drawn to an ar
ticle in the New York Sun in which II is
set forth that a certain cure for cancer is
found in the tea made Of the blossoms Of
red clover. 1t is said that the seasons
when the clover Is not in bloom, the
dried flower will answer us well as the
green, and that the tea Of the blossom,
when either green or dry, drank for six
or eight weeks, will cure the worst Of
cancer. Names are given of persons
who claim to have been cured by this
means, and several physicians testify to
the efficacy Of this remedy. While de-
clining to vouch for this recipe we give
i, for what it is worth, since 1t will, at
least, do nobody any harm.-NcrS

The Duty OF HATING.-Let us hate
more. Hating is, perhaps, sufficiently
permitted by us as an impulse. 1t may
easily be toomuch INDUCED in as moral
luxury. But there is not enough of
good hating done as point of duty. /
want to says word in favor Of hating on
principle.
Few men look with actual complacen-
cy on bad deed. But few, again, if
self interest does not engage their emo
tions, look on Il bad deed with condign
abhorance. The attitude of most men
is apt to be the attitude of Indifference.
But moral Indifference toward wrong is
n pregnant mistake. We ought to hate
wrong with conscious and vehement
passion Of resentment and resistance
Abhorance of evil is vital alike to our
safety and TO the yigor Of our good in
iluence.-The independents

BONNET CARRE TO BE CLOSED.

From the New Orleans papers
we learn that, on last Saturday, the
contract to close Bonnet Carrie
crevasse, which has been so inju.
riOus to our coast waters, was
awarded to p. A. DOwney in she
sum of Sl0,275, that being the
lowest and best bid fop'the work.
A fortnight ago we gave a state.
ment of the plan whereby the work
is to be accomplished, which is by
building a brush dam at the Gre
vase. The dam will assist the
river itself in closing the crevasse
which caused such destruction at
the time it occurred, and which has
so seriously affected not only the
waters of lake Pontchartrain, but
of our gulf coast as far east as
Mississippi City.
Work on the crevasse will be
commenced next Monday, and, I'M
der the terms of the contract, is to
be completed by the first of No
vember next, in time to keep out
the water caused by the winter
rains. The idea in building the
brush dam is to so obstruct the
current of the water through the
crevasse as to reduce the velocity,
prevent the passage of logs, drift
wood, etc, and thereby cause a de-
post of sediment, drift, etc, which
will gradually close the break and
render the building of a levee a
matter of small cost. Thus the
great river which has forced it's
way through the levee, and which
has emptied its muddy waters un-
interrnptedly so long into the clear
and salt waters of the lake and
sound, and which has so materially
injured bathing, fishing aud oyster
along our Mississippi coast, is,
by mans ingenuity, to be made a
instrument in closing the
breech which it opened. Our PEG
pie on the gulf coast will, We know,
hail this news with great joy.

HOMESTEAD

From the commissioner of tho
general land Office some very inter
esting statistics are had, showing
the volume and direction of home
stead prescriptions.
The amount of public land eli.
tered Tor settlement under the
homestead act in the year ending
June 80, 1879, was something over
GOO 1000 acres, IN area larger than
that of New Hampshire. The av-
erage number OF acres taken by
each homestead settler is 12O. On
this basis the number. of families
erecting their roof tree on the pub.
lie domain war some $4,000. The
whole number of homestead entries
from the time the homestead law
went into operation to June 30,
1878, a period Of sixteen years, was
3S4,S4S. Allowing 100 acres to
each settler, the whole amount of
land thus occupied would be 46,1S1,-
760 acres. This immense domain
would make fifteen States as large
as Connecticut. 1t is larger by
nearly three million acres than all
New England, and it exceeds the
combined areas of Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, Rhode Island,
Connecticut and New York by an
area about equal to that Of Della
ware.
In the of homestead entries
Kansas takes the lead with 81 1884,
Minnesota stands next with 51,575,
and Nebraska third with 1882.
In the rate of increase from 1877 to
1873 Dakota took the lead. The
number of homestead entries in
that Territory in 1877 was 1854,
and in 1878 it was 1928. In the
States of Kansas, Minnesota and
Nebraska and the Territory of Da-
kota the homestead entries in 1877
amounted to 91O, 1897 acres, and in
1878 to 1882, 6S3 acres, an increase
of over 800 per cent. In 1S72.the
total area covered by entries under
the homestead law amounted to
4,700, 000acres. In 1873 the entries
fell off to 3,793,O00 acres; in 1875
to 2,35G,00O acres, and in 1877 to
2,17S, 900 acres. In the year ended
December 81, 1878, the entries were
about 6,Oo0,0 900 acres. The increase
is a cheering and healthful sign.

HIILING POETS.

A friend of ours in Washington
d. O., sends us the following imfor
nation regarding mailing ports OF
vessels, as ruled by the honorable
secretary of the treasury in Feb
ruary, 1876: Under section AIS OF
the United States revised statutes
the hailing place of a vessel is that
TO which she shall belong and un-
der section ALL the port to- which
a vessel belongs is that at or near
est which the owner OF managing
owner resides.
There is nothing in the statutes
10 limit the term sport" so far as
1t relates to ownership of vessels
to ports of entry exclusively. If
an owner resides at ~ port of de.
there is nothing to preclude
his claiming a hailing place at such
port, though his vessel may DE
alta port OF entry.

H5DIC1L ton.

There il certainly no political
trick too mean and contemplate
for the radical politicians to prac-
tice upon the pnblic, II they think
they can thereby secure votes by
80 doing aud defeat thc.lemocratic
party by thus deceiving the people.
The campaign in Ohio is being hot
~ contested IN this campaign, and
evidently there IL doubt and dis.
couragement in the republican,
camp as to the result in that State
this fall. That such is the fact is
shown in various ways, but most
con%spicuously of all is by the tam.
pering with Gen. EwiDg's stamp so
as to got before the people under
that frank, aud with the force it
commands, radical documents of
various kinds. 1t was the strength
of Ewing's name the conspiring
radicals wanted. They have al
ready sent into the State of Ohio
tons of the same kind of documents
they swindled in by the dodge they
played of using the name of the
next governor, and still they were
not content, but endeavored to OBJ.
tain his stamp to further carry out
their nefarious scheme.
In Maine the same desperation
is apparent, though in another way,
but .one just as significant. The
radical Blaine and Hamlin ring,
which is called the republican par
ty of that State, has recently
started a story to the effect that
one of the two candidates voted for,
against the radical candidate for
governor, offered to sell ont to the
republican leaders. The story has
met swift Iefutation. 1t now ap-
pears that the ring above alluded
to offered to buy the candidate, but
that he refused tt, sell out to them.
1t is always safe to watch such poll.
~ticians as Blaine and Hamlin.
Their very existence as public men
depends, not upon what wise and
benefcient legislation they have
originated or promoted, but upon
skillful party management. With
what measure that blesses the PEG.
pie of this country is Blaine and
name connectedf They
are both partisans of the worst
type, and are always on the alert
TO stir up strife between the North
and South.
