Bleeding at the Nose.

There are two little arteries which sup
ply the whole face with blood, one on each
side; these branch from the main arteries
ON each side of the wiudplpe, and running
upward towards the eyes over the outside
of the iawbone, about two-thirds back from
the chin to the angie of the chin, under
the ear. Each of these arteries, OF course,
supplies just one-half of the face, the nose
being the dividing line; the left nostril IS
supplied with blood by the left artery. and
right nostril by the right artery Now,
supposing your nose hIeeds by the right
nostrIl, with the end of the fore finger feel
aong the outer edge of the right jaw until
you feel the beating of the artery directly
under your finger, the same as the pulse
in your wrist; then press the finger hard
upon it, thus getting the little fellow in
tight place between your finger and Jaw.
bone; the result will be that not drop of
blood goes into that side of the face while
the pressure continues; hence the nose
stops bleeding for want of blood to flow;
continue the pressure for five or ten mlu-
utes and the ruptured vessels IN the nose
will by that time probably contract so that
when you let the blood iutO them they
will not leak. Bleeding IRON a cut or
wound anywhere about the face may be
stopped IN the same way.

Catfish Catching Ducks.

Recently the Bee mentioned the fact

The translation oz Arapi Pasha's let

been completed, and they are held by
the counsel for the defense to prove
three points: "Firstly, that he received
direct encouragement from the Sultan,
who, expressing entire disregard for the
Khedive appeals directly to Arab tC
defend the interests of Egypt and the
rights of the Khalif against foreign az.
gression. Secondly, that Arab had the
unanimous support of the Egyptian peo
pie, as is proved by numerous petitions,
bearing the signatures of twenty five
thousand of the most influential repre-.
sentatives of every class and section of
the population-offieials, military Off.
GERS, civilians, merchants, land owners
and Bedouin chiefs. Thirdly, that be
had the sanction of the representatives
of the religion of the country, rs shown
by the Fetwa. signed by the heads OF
all the four Mahometan rites, pronounc.

enjoining the continuance of war" The
evidence taken in the trial 30 far haa
been chiefly TO show that Alexandria
was fred by Arabi's orders, and other
outrages committed at his command

they exceeded the laws and usages OF

TIE Solicitor of the Treasury has
recommended the acceptance Of an offer
of 81, 900 as compromise in the case of
the United States against the bondsmen
of former Receiver Of Public Moneys
in Louisiana during the war of the re-
bellion, whose accounts were found to be
some $S, 600 short, when g settlement
was finally made. This suit has been
pending for many years, and was about
to come to trial when the offer was made
The defense of the Recerver was that he
was compelled to turn this amount of
money over to the Confederate authori-
ties under duress. The Solicitors
opinion states that under decision Of
the Supreme Court claims against Of
fcials for deficits during war times are
void, il it can be shown that there was
either moral or physical force used to
compel q surrender of the moneys in
their possession. This was not only
proved in this case, but indisputable ev-
idence was also given to show that the
Receiver was o loyal man to the Union
Mt that time.

he reached his conclusions by employ
ing the so-called Baumgarten process of
soaking sections OF tuboreulous lung in

This produced minute deposits of red in

A father, accompanied by his little
son, called at drugstore on one Of the
avenues and asked for cheap sponge.
He was one of our rich citizens, and as
he spoke he fumbled with his massive
gold watch chain, and looked worth o
million.
The druggist put a lot Of sponges be-
fore him, and he glanced through the
lot and asked how much they were.
"All the way from fifty cents to one
dollar" said the drug man.
"Oh, but want it for the boy's
slate,'' said the citizen; sit is hardly
worth while to pay 80 much"
"Well, then, these are what you
need" said the druggist, as he put out
a collection of small, hard sponges.
'"These are five cents each"
The wealthy citizen fingered them
over, and examined them one by one,
and still did not seem satisfied.
"Here are some at one cent each, "
said the druggist. who began to know
his man, 'you might find something
among these"
The citizen examined each one anC

Sir Garnet WOlseIey's Goodness on the

All accounts are agreed as to Sir

before the battle, when he took all the
Generals and their respective stalls to

mounted within a couple miles of Tel-cl-
Kebir, and gathering the others around
him, explained exactly what he meant
to do. With short stick he pointed to
the intrenchments as he might to

city indicated in turns the position OF
each part of the attacking force. He
had the whole thing off by heart, knew
and explained in exact detail what every
regiment had to do. While they were
thus occupied protected only by small
cavalry escort, the enemy sent out
party to observe them, but made no
further demonstration. Wolseley's 8

and rode back to camp.
After the battle was practically won,
Sir Garnet came to the bridge across the
