goes at the old copperhead crowd that want ed to see Union. Soldiers come home in boxes they will begin to think they have made a mistake in enlisting under Union General even at this late day and either go to Canada, as they did during the war, or organize new party which will register solemn oath never to go into the military business again. We commend this prediction to the notice of Senator Eaton.
 At this season, when cases of drowning are apt to be frequent, the possible benefit that may come from perseyering effort to revive victims of drowning should encourage friends not to despair of their resuscitation, even after several hours of seemingly fruitless eff fort. In recent communication to the French Academy, Professor Fort asserts that he was enabled to restore to life child three years old, by practising artificial respiration on it four hours, commencing three hours and a half after apparent death. He mentions case in which Dr. Fournol, of Aillancourt, reanlmated an apparently drowned person by four hours of artificial respiration, begun one hour after the perscn was taken from the water.
 The Democratic papers have all printed and rejoiced over a letter of Leonard Jerome pledging his support and that of his family to Hancock, and when they get time they are going to print Thomas A. Jerome's letter, in which he says: My brother is welcome to the privilege of going over to the enemy, and of proclaiming his adhesion to the sol- dier who first dared to officially embarrass the reconstruction acts of the government at the close of the war; but be it understood that the Jerome family declines to become party to such an act of political hari-kari! !! One swallow does not make summer and one Arnold in politics, even though as craf- ty and astute as brother Leonard cannot be permitted to speak for an otherwise univer- sally loyal Republican family.''
 Let us have Steam Users Association. In report lately issued it is stated that the recognition by the French govern ment of the Steam Users Associ- ation of the North, founded in 1873, as institution ''of public utility where boiler inspection is concerned, has been attended with the happiest results. The objects of this association are of a kind to commend themselves most particularly to people in this country, at the present time the prevention of explosions and other &C., cidents, and the dissemination of useful in formation as to the generation of steam, to- gether with remarkable facts and discoveries relating to economy of fuel. The Board of Mann nOncicfs nf mar hara alapta6 at the annual general meeting, and it's staff comprises an engineer -in-chief, other en- gineers, inspectors, draughtsmen and an accountant and treasurer. The engineers are selected from among the old pupils of the Ecole Polytechuique and the Institute Indus triel du Nord, the inspectors are taken from the frst-class engineers on railroads and the best pupils at the School of Arts and Sciences Two inspections are annually made on the to the external parts of the boiler and its ap performances, the engineer at the same time giving such hints to the engine tender as may seem requisite. The second is a more mi mute examination, followed by written re- port to the manager. The number of boilers under inspection has increased from 526 to l, JOS belonging to BPS establishments. Only two accidents have occurred since 1873 in es- tablishments belonging to the association. In one case the owner of the boiler had just joined the association, and his plant had not been thoroughly inspected, while in another the manufacturer had declined a athorough in spection, course which rendered him liable to expulsion from the society
