How TO SWIM The editor of the
London Truth, after observing that prob
ably not one in twenty of the persons
who indulge in boating on holiday can
swim, proceeds to tel his readers how to
acquire this accomplishment. Nothing,
he says, is more easy. When the air is
out Of the body it sinks when the air is
in the body it floats. Let any one slowly
draw his breath rs he draws back his legs
and pushes forward his arms, retain it
while he is preparing for the stroke which
is TO propel him, and slowly allow 1t to
go through his lips as his arms are passed
back from before bis head to his sides and
his legs are stretched out. The notion Of
the stroke should not be quite horizontal,
but should be made on a slight incline
downward. The real reason why people
take weeks to learn how to swim is Be,
cause swimming professors either do not
know, or do not choose to teach the phil
osophy of breathing, So as to render the
body buoyant | would engage to make
any one tolerabs swimmer in an hour,
unless he be a congenita IDIOT

MARRIED TO CHINAMEN On the
land owned by j. V. Simmons, located
rear Couftland, in Sacra mento county,
is a colony of Chinnmen who have set
tied down to the cultivation of the ground
on the co operative plan, and who have
thus far been very successful in their un

male Mongolians, with the exception of
two white women, who are married to
Cinnamon belonging TO the settlement.
One ofthese women came to this State
from Baltimore sometime since. Ir the
latter city she obtained a second grade
certificate as a teacher in the public
schools, where she taught On arriving
in San Francisco from the East the wom-

first grade certificate as teacher in that
city. Shortly afterwards ,he went to
Salinas and there taught school. While
in Salinas she became acquainted with
the CT inaman who is now her husband, +,
who was at that time employed as cook
in the amily where the school teacher
boarded. The acquaintance ripened into
warmer feeling and the woman mar
ried the Chlnaman, giving as reason
therefor that she desired to elevate him
and his race and deemed the course she
was taking to be the best method Of so
doing. After marrying her Mongolisn
husband, she moved with him 30 the set

AT HIS HOME.

After two years of wandering through
the old world, observing its traditional mys-
teries, studying its moldy, time-worn poll
cies, aud receiving such marks of distinction
rs have never before fallen to the lot of
mortal man, General GRANT has reached
his own home, the sacred refuge of our
" life" With what emotions that home
was entered under the circumstances none
but the Searcher of all hearts will ever
know After visiting all the civilized king
dOms and governments of the earth, after
sharing the attentions, hospitalities and
honors of the potentates and peoples of the
East to an extent that should excite mortal
envy-after having been welcomed by his
own countrymen on his return to this conti-
nent with a lavish display of hospitality and
Difference, and after having shared continue
GUS ovation from the Pacific coast to his resi-
dence in Galena, what wealth of comfort
and sweet enjoyment must have attended
that quiet Wednesdays dinner at his own
table, surrounded by its quiet and the loved
ones of his own household! 1t must have
brought TO the rugged heart of the hero
who has shared honors that would have
llattered the vanity and turned the head of
almost any other, profound satisfaction
that he would not exchange for all that he
had shared during his triumphal journey
throughout the East.
General GRANT is home once more, to
have impressed upon his stern nature, by
the demonstrations and attentions of his
own countrymen, how strong hold he has
upon their respect and affections. And we
venture the opinion that the few hours he
has had in his quiet home is a legacy of
priceless value to his strong nature that
must have become tired of the tinsel and
show of public demonstration. His country
welcomes him to its heart of hearts with
Il feeling Of profound pride and II love that
has been excited to activity, if not to new-
ness of strength, by the homage that king.
doms and empires have paid to him as q
representative American. Whether his
future is to be traced in the quiet paths OF
private life or under new public response
bilities and duties is question which he
has the power to decide and will, at the
proper time, and not one moment before.

PERSECUTION FOR OPINION SAKE.

All intelligent people know that the South
is loyal to the National Government and that
persecution for opinions sake Is unknown
here and yet charges to the contrary are
iterated and reiterated and on the strength of
these it is proposed to array the North against
the principles Of free constitutional govern.
ment.-Chdrohe (N. c. Observer.
Our cotemporary is mistaken. The more
intelligent the individual the less he knows
of the innocence of the South ofpersecution
for opinion sake. The proofs of this class
ofpersecution are CLEANED from the recorded
history of each succeeding election. 1t may
not now be prosecuted through the agency
of the Ku Klux and the red-shirters, but it
pursues its victim through the avenues OF
| society and the relations of business, and is
made as efficient though not so bloody, per-
haps, as it was in the days of n more savage
outward warfare. Our cotemporary evil
IDENTIFY misapprehendsa and misrepresents the
it IS auayed against the principles of free
constitutional government. In this il gets
things sadly mixed and misplaced, for the
North not only sustains, but if needs be it
lands ready to defend the principles of
free constitutional government, which shall
regard all men as possessed Of equal rights
and privileges before the law. If the South
had not attempted to subvert these princi-
pies there would have been no war, no
bloodshed, no deep-seated alterations to fill
the memory and pain the feelings. The
| North antagonizcd the South then on this
/ 4
continue to do so until all the guarantees
Of the Constitution are duly respected in
/ the South and any citizen of the United
States can go where pleases, speak rs he
wishes, and vote as his personal will shall
dictate, in any and every State of this
Union, under II proper respect for the laws
of the Government. When this end is
reached, then, in so far rs those things 60
| there will be no further antagOnism be-
| tween the sections. There have been per-
secuions OF Republicans all thro ugh the
| South for opinion sake, and the Obsercc,
cannot be innocent of any knowledge oi
| the fact. If they have been suspended
pray tell us when, where and how; for thus
| far no reliable evidences Of the change have
| been presented for Northern cOnside ration,
except that the Ku KluX have been forced
out of existence under the pressure of the
United States laws. No State law in the
South has suppressed either the Ku Klux
the White Leagues, the Red-Shirters, or the
Night-Ltners, and if they have disappeared
it is becaue persecution has decided to put
on another guse,
