his sort of policy will not do.

The talk is that Senator Mitchell will
head the Half-Breed element in his State,
as against the Stalwarts, led by Senator
Don Cameron.
Senator Mitchell says the removal OF Col
lector Sullivan is a mistake politically and
otherwise. The blow is partly aimed at
Bayne, but the main purpose is to perpet-
uate the political power in the hands OF
certain men in Pennsylvania to whom the
people are opposed. Sullivan, he says,
was a good officer, and had
the favor OF the people. There was no legit-
innate reason for his displacement. The
removal OF Davis does not furnish parallel
case, as the people were largely for Case.
Sullivan was endorsed by one of the Sena-
tors (MitChelll and by Messrs. Bayne, Mil
Ter and Shallenberger, all the Republican
Representatives in the Collectors district.
Senator Mitchell says Jackson is good
man, whom he knows well, and believes
will make a competent officer, but he will
oppose his confirmation. He, Mitchell,
has sat in his seat for year and let things
drift, but he now proposes 10 call halt OF
what he considers Senator Cameron's head

of the Republican party. G.

How Rrstorr the D,ov,rd.

Doctor Howard, medical officer OF
New York harbor, recently explained at
the receiying.house Of the Royal Hu-
nane society, London, his method OF
resuscita'ing persons taken from the
water in state Of insensibility. The
principles upon which he acts are those
Of clearing away the water and mucus
which prevent the entrance OF air into
the lungs, and the imitation OF the
movements OF the chest in respiration.
He first cmpties the stomach and pas
saFes Of water. For this he places the
patient face downward, puts roll Of
something hard under the pit o. the
stomach, so tha! il is above the level
OF the mouth, aud then presses with
all his force on the back. Afterward,
to set up artificial breathing, instead Of
the partial rolling Of the body or the
pumping action OF the arms now prac
ticed, the body is laid upon the back
with tho clothes stripped down to the
waist. The pit of the stomach is now
raised to the highest point by some
thing under the back. A bundle of
clothing or tho body Of another man
will do for this. The head is thrown
back and the tongue must be drawn for
ward by an assistant, so as to keep
open the entrance to the air tubes. The
hands are passed above the head. the
wrists crossed. and the arms kept
firmly extended. In this position the
chest is fully expanded. The operator
then kneels astride the body, places his
hands on the lower part Of the ribs,
and steadily and gradually makeJ COM
preston. Balancing on his knees he
inclines himself forward till his face
nearly touches that Of the patient, and
so lets fall the whole weight Of the
body upon che chest. When this has
yielded as much as il will he throws
himself back by sudden push TO his
first erect position Of kneeling, and the
elastic ribs by their expanding bellows.

maneuvers must be repeated regularly
