ANDY JoHNsoN's FATTH.-Colonel Gran
vile Moody, the well.known Ohio Meth
odist minister, who was generally known
throughout the country when serving as
Chaplain in the Union army during the
war as the " Fighting Parson," spent yes
terday among hislfriends in st. Louis. He
has retired from the ministry, being over
20 years of age, but he still maintains that
a prayer he delivered when closeted with
Andy johnson resulted in bringing about
the defeat of the Southern army and in
eventually terminating the war. He says
that johnson sent for him and asked him
what to do. He replied, promptly, 'Let
us pray ;" and pray he did until he worked
the spiritual faculty of the statesman up
to white heat. After the prayer, so the
parsons story runs, johnson sprang to his
feet and said, Moody, by =, l think
that prayer will pull us through" And
the prayer, according to the parsons be.
lief, did pull the Union army through, as
it so happened that, from that time on, the
Federal troops fought their battles with
greater success. At another time the
lighting parson, while urging his comrades
to make charge, shouted, Give them
thunder, boys" He has been a very sue.
cessful minister in his time, but Stree the
war has labored under the belief that the
Almighty, himself and Andy johnson
should be given the credit CT bringing the
war to close - st. Louis Republican.

HOW TO SWIM.

A writer in knowledge gives these direc-
tlons The swimmer Is supposed to be
simply balancing himself in the water when
ne prepares to try the movements now to
be described Placing the hands together
close to the breast, with the wrists touch.
ing the collar bones, or nearly so, the palms
downward and in horizontal plane with the
closed fingers, the swimmer launches his
arms forward to their full reach in front OF
him, Still keeping his hands together.
While be is doing this he kicks his legs out
backward to their full extert, and SO as TO
throw the feet as far apart as possible. OF
these movements only the latter is propul-
sive. The former merely brings the arms
to the right position for their backward
propulsive stroke.
But though the legs and feet being kicked
out backward produce propulsive effect,
especially if the feet are we'll planted, as it
were, against the water during their back
ward sweep, yet it is not in this motion
that the legs do the most effective part of
their propeilng work. The arms are now
to be carried backward with powerful
sweep, the hands being held in a slightly
cup-shaped form and the stroke being taken
with Just so much downward movement.
and no more, AS is necessary to counterfeit
the tendency of the head to sink when the
support of the hands is removed. While
the hands are thus brought toward the
hips, the legs are to be brought forcibly
together, like the legs of pair of shears
when we close it. It is in this
movement that the legs produce their
greatest propulsive effect, an effect
which many who think they know how to
swim entirely lose, simply kicking their
legs straight out backward, and then draw.
ing them up under them for the next
stroke. This drawing up of the legs un.
der the abdomen must only be begun when
the legs have been iorcibly brought to-
gether, both perfectly rigid till they are
in contact.
The closing movement of the legs is
completed while the arms are doing their
backward stroke. The legs are then
drawn up under the stomach, the feet be-
ing bent back as we stand on tiptoe, while
the hands are brought to their fret position
by passing from the hips to the chest, the
palm and fingers as it were gliding over the
body. Then the movements described are
repeated. The arms are thrust forward as
before the legs are kicked out then,
while the legs are brought forcibly to.
gether, and atJerward carried forward, the
arms take their propu!sive stroke backward
to the hips. Then the movements are re-
peated, ands on, till the swimmer is tired,
or thinks 1t well to change MS stroke.

A TEST OF ENDURANCE.-A novel ex-
pertinent to test the endurance of the off.
GERS of the Cavalry Brigade of the Imperial
Guard stationed at Warsaw was performed
fortnight ago. Ten officers, chosen by
lot. and their commander, General Strou-
koff, rode 1873 miles on course laid out
around the Mokatof Plain, adjoining War
saw, between the hours of 6:30 A. NJ. and
$50 P. NJ. They changed their horses as
often as they wished, in most cases five or
six times, and rested only twenty minutes
during the day. They were weighed before
starting, and at the end of the trial all were
found to have lost except General Strou-
kof, the average loss being about four
pounds. Neither the men nor their horses
appeared to be much fatigued.

1t is likely that the last has been heard of the
case OF the people against General Curtis, for vlo-
lation OF the civil service law In having collected
political assessments from New York custom house
employees The indictment was formally uuashed
In the United States district court In that city,
Thursday, on the ground that the defendants
christened name Is Newton, and not Nehemiah, as
charged. This probably dlsposes OF the matter,
as It is understood that the authorities will not act
further In the case unless new complaint be filed.
This may or NAV not be done, but the chances are
against It. The passage OF the law was not de-
manded by public sentiment originally so much as
1t was brought about by the active efforts OF a
comparatively few individuals who urged the ne
cessity OF some such provision In order to maintain
the efficiency and purity OF the public service. As
Is usual, therefore, in cases where law Is placed
on the statute books in advance OF public opinion
this Is likely to remain dead letter until 1t Is re-
pealed by party coming into power which has no
use for 1t, or until the majority OF the people are
educated up to the point OF demanding It's enforce
ment. The fact that the statute under which the
Indictment was found was passed seven years ago,
and that there has not yet been a conviction under
II, Is pretty conclusive evidence on this point

The project OF building a new railway line be-
tween New York and Washington Is endorsed by
the New York Herald, as it should be by all the
papers OF that city. The Herald holds that "there
can be no doubt that, under fair construction of
the constitution, Congress has the right to grant
charter of this character" and adds that New
York needs as many railroads as she can get to all
parts OF the country. 1t says further that there
are many points in favor of the projected road
and that ''if the men behind it honest-if they
hre not mere jObberS and spectators, who intend
TO sell out to the powerful corporations that now
control the highways to the capital-there Is no
good reason why they should not be allowed to
build the line which they profess to be DESTROYS
20 construct"
The Herald agrees with the grou2d heretofore
taken by The STAR that the cOrporators should be
held to rigid accountability In furnishing the
promised lower rates, shorter time, and better
postal facilities than are now enjoyed These
points assured, and with a clause preventing a
sale or transfer OF the franchise to any existing
corporation, there seems TO be no good reason why
the bill should not pass at once.
