The Cluverius case will probably abide
with us for some time yet. 1t is true, the
court yesterday refused the prisoner a new
trial. but in the mean time motion Is
made that sentence be not pronounced.
We are also informed of the determination
of the lawyers for the defense to take the
ease to the Court Of Appeals. With these
delays il may be year before the sentence
of the court, even if it stands, can be car
ried out.

A WASHINGTON correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press says that "the Presi-
dent is afraid the Senate will reject many
of his nominations, and he wishes before
taking hold of the big offices, to learn how
the confirming power will interpret 'otlen-
sve partisanship' as good cause for re-
movals." We do not know whether the
President is afraid or not, but we do
know what the Senate caucus thought
about this subject last March, and if Sem
ators are still of the same opinion, there is
reason for the apprehension of trouble
The Washington critic. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1885-1888, 1885-06-09

a CABINET officer is reported to have
said recently that public men are, as a
rule, of no assistance to the President and
that because of this fact there is so much
delay in making appointments. out of
it grows the difficulty of finding out the
best men. And the Cabinet officer makes
one more protest against the habit Of some
public men of indiscriminately recon-
mending score or so of people for the
same place. There is no doubt great
deal of truth in all this. But while the
President may not be afforded much as
sstance by ypublic men in making changes,
it seems to be equally true that he is not
affording any undue amount of assistance
to public men in making the changes
which the latter particularly desire.

To Check Bleeding.

Medicus. in Good Housekeeping.
The natural process by which bleeding is stop
ped is the formation of blood eliot which plugs
the orifce of the divided vessel When artery
is divided the cut end retracts or shrinks that
the formation of clot is facilitated, but the blood
current is SO strong, unless loss of much blood
has diminished the force of the circulation, that
1T hlnders the coagulation. 1t should. therefore,
be the aim of an assistant to check or stop the
flow OF blood from the artery in order that the
beginnings OF Conformation may not be swept
away by the current This may be accomplished
by pressing upon the orifice of the vessel in the
wound, or by pressing the edges of the wound
firmly together, or in cases where this is not
easy and efficient by COMPRISING the artery
which supplies the part from which the hemor-
rhage is taking place in some part of its course
between the heart and the injury. The main
arteries supplying the head lie in the neck, one
on each side of the windpipe, where their pulsa-
tons may be readily felt In case of a wound
of an artery in the neck the cut ends of the yes
sci should be compressed with the finger, if
possible. or the artery, both below and above the
wound, should be pressed firmly backwards
against the backbone. Unless skilled surgical
aid can be speedily obtained, there is little hope
of saving life in case these great vessels are
wounded

1t is well known that the French sculptor,
tHoudon, made a mask of the face of General
Washington, which he subsequently used in
Paris In modelling the statue now in Richmond
1t is not so well known that at about the same
time he made second mask, which included
the neck and part of the shoulders
This mask was left by him at Mount Vernon
and remained there until 1S49. when Clark
Mills removed it to his studio for study
in connection with his equestrian statue
of Washington in this city. 1t was never re
turned by Mr.. Mills, but remained in his posses
sion until 1873, when he presented it to Mr.
Mcdonald, the well-known sculptor of st. Louis
The regents of the association hold that the
mask properly belongs, with other relics. at
Mount Vernon, and have represented their view
of the case to Mr.. Mcdonald He says, in reply,
that if it is the property of others, the courts
are open for the establishment of their claim
At a meeting Of the regents, at Mount Vernon,
yesterday, Mr.. Mcdonald proposed that he
would make for the association a bronze statue
of Washington, twelve and half feet in height
and provide perfect pedestal, for $4,000 and
that he would then present to them the mask in
question The matter is being considered.

more cars handled at Indianapolis in the week
ending May 30 than in the week preceding, or

shown to be entirely in the east-bound move

in the latter part of the week. and the inquiry
for empty cars indicates better movement the

beach gazers at Newport or Long Branch next
summer. Judging by the number of pupils in
these schools of swimming, there will be more of
feminine EXPERIENCES in the surfy brine during
the coming season than ever before. But

out to write. She was stranger in town until
a few months ago, when she was introduced
into our best society by family whose backing
is allpowerful She was quite pretty and
heap stylish, but she had a queerly limping
gait, as though one Of her feet was somehow in

and grace rode on horseback, played lawn ten

girls We all wore stockings. belted blouses
and loose trousers, with natty oilskin caps
