As - the season of swimming is at hand a few hints to learners may be usefal. i The first essential is to know how to use the hands aright, with the view to keeping the head well out of water, and the next is to keep one foot on the bottom until sufficient ; confidence is acquired to faise ft at intervals. After a few trials the learner will be able to raise it altogether Then, pe not in a hurry to use the hands, as if life depended on striking out, but try and acquire deliberation. Let every stroke have a full sweep of the arms; and let the feet take care oi: tnemscives. it is not neces sary that the feet should be raised to the surface of the water. The body, from the shoulders downward, should be Jcept at an angle of 30 degrees to the plane of the horizon. This incli nation, with everv forward movement, will tend to throw the head out. Sperm whales, when frightened, sink their flukes and throw their heads out of ; water, to obtain their highest speed. The head of a sperm' wnaie is Cat at the front, and. is one-third the size of the body; tbe: head of a finback is pointed; the one throws his head out, the. other rushes through the water horizontally. The learner who wishes to acquire the art : of swimming for recreation and not for professional purposes ought to pay little attention to the movements of the feet, until he has perfect control of his hands: then the eot will'instinctively come into play ana perioral their part without much thought Who think of their feet when walking? In the erly stages of learning a swimmer does not seem to be satisfied until he brings his feet to the surface. This has a tendency to strain the body iust above- the hips, and to bnry the head. Swim ming in a seaway the body will take manv noaitions. ftvnri!irirr frt thn height of the waves encountered. Sometimes, it will be vertical, and at other times more or less inclined to keep t&e head out. - It 18 well for a beginner to have a person with him to keep his hand un der his chin at first, while the use of the hands is being acquired. These hints apply only to common horizon tal swimming; that havinc been ac quired and confidence obtained there will be no difficulty in learning all the other movements, such a swim ming on the side or on the back, div ing or turning heels over bead, for ward or backward. Remember this, too, that if a per son taken, with cramps will throw himself upon his back he will float without effort, even if his legs should oe orawn up. .Never neglect to Btuff the ears with eotton-wool. Many per sons hare attributed deafness to tak ing water through the ears when swimming.;: 1 A Notable Event. Wilmington Beylew sth. The complimentary concert of last The programme was attractive, anu the music ot the' highest order. The concert was opened with an instru mental duet by Misses ' French and DeRoflset-l In perfect time and tune they meandered through the intrica cies ol the "Wandering jew witn the utmost ease and grace. ; Miss Waddell sang with brilliancy and ease "Schubert's serenade and a seiec- tion from Jirnani. Her voice, besides being highly cultivated, is sweet and flexible as a flute. After her second sold she sing as encore a simple serio comic piece, called, as we learned from av lady friend, "Tit for Tat." This was also rendered in a charming manner. I Mrs. Pleasants filled the house with her rich contralto in a solo from; Faust. We thought her voice never possessed more sweetness than when sne stood last evening in the. diffnitv of her misrhtv cut, and poured forth a torrent of sweet sounds, imiss awartz, anotner raasi- c&l (renins, saner with ease and err ace Schubert s "jsri jying " loiiowea dy an encore, "Sing Bird, Sing Sweetly, ' which was exquisitely rendered. Ice Jouthfol prima donna' of the evening, I iss Annie DeRosset, with her voice of rare Sweetness, sang a brilliant solo with ease and beauty, but if we may particularize the' gem of the evening, in our humble opinion, was "The Waiting Heart," with cornet obligato.'performed by Wilmington's fair young cantatrioe and Mr. Sim Schloss, Iwho is certainly master of the' instrument be performs upon. We think we but endorse the opin ion of aJ present, when we say that the entire concert was one of a high order ' of merit and reflects much Credit upon all who were instrumen tal in its production. The Paper ChrniU. From (lie New York Bun. - l'a'per fabric will actually take the place of genuine cloth to a slight ex tent in the tot-incoming summer toi lets.

But the rather startling novelty about it is that the chemisette, or at least a portion of it disclosed between- the front edges oi trie jacnet, is composed of paper,' stamped and cut in imita tion oi iiace ana emoroiaery. inis innovation was premeditated to the extent that orders were sent to Jumna more than a year ago for the manu facture of the stun in the hbrous sort of paper produced Only in that coun try. Thus it is that the masculine example of paper collars and cuffs. has oeen followed in an ideal ized manner, by a . feminine accept ance of paper chemisettes. ihe paper looks exactly like soft, un- launderod linen, and is quite tough enough it ia well to say, to prevent anv easy accidents in the way of rents, il'atterns are mremous imiia tions, not only of plain, fine muslin-, but of lace.

BKPCBLIt ASS NOT enthusiastic Chicago Tribune ( Tariff Reform Republican): "It would be sheer hypocrisy on the part of tbe Tribune to pretend that it thinks the conven tion placed in nomina'ion the strong est candidate before it, for its read ers would not believe such an opinion sincere. The general belief is that the convention was not influenced by the question of availability to any perceptible degree. What has been done is beyond recall, correc tion, or exchange. It must Btand for this election, and there is nothing left for straight party men who had different first choices but to make the best of it by supporting the nominee. Chicago Staatz Zeitung; His ca reer in tho Senate was not very prom inent, lie showed moral courage by his opposition to Chinese laws. His position in this respect will probably cost him the fourteen, electoral votes of the 'Pacific States. ; In Indiana he has a certain strength," which ia, how ever, based more on his sbility as a political "boss" than on his personal popularity. He has no magnetism at all. The Germans of Indians, Re publicans as well as Democrats, do not care for him, because uixder his influence the Republican party of In diana declared itself for submitting a constitutional amendment in favor of prohibition to the vote of tbo peo ple. The Republican candidate for Vice-President, Levi P. Morton, is the man of his money-bag. As a statesman, compared with Thurman, Morton is nothing. Chicago News (Ind.): Iu regard to Harrison's availability, so far as his personality and record will count in the campaign, he may be said to be a negative quantity. Mr. Harri son is, as Mr. Ingalls would say, not a leader. He is possibly a "some body," like Hayes in 1876, buhe ia not one of the men toward whom one feels an instinctive attraction. Chicago Inter-Ocean (Protection Republican): The ticket is one which should command the unhesitating support of every Republican. Boston Post (Dem ): But for Sher man the convention would have been turned squarely for Blaine, and Blaines revenge was taken by wrest ing the nomination from Sherman's grasp. Indianapolis Journal (liep. ) : Tte nomination of Harrison and Morton iB the happiest Bolution that could possibly have been made of a great political problem. If it were not so clearly the result of human wisdom, we should ciJl it inspiration. Indianapolis Sentinel (Dem ): Gen. Harrison cannot carry Indiana, and he cannot be elected. He is identified with the cause of monopoly, and in this campaign monopoly is going to be defeated. Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.) : On the great questions of the day Sena tor Harrison has shown sound views and a manly course. A review of his hands. Philadelphia Times (Dem.) : Alto gether the ticket is dull, respectable and unobjectionable, and one with which the Republicans areas likely to win as with any other that could be chosen. Philadelphia North American (Rep): The nomination ot General Harrison to bear the Republican Standard is one eminently fit to be made. Gen. Harrison is more than ordinarily an able man, trained in public service, of known rectitude, high character, and fully deserving. Louisville Courier Journal, (Mr. Watterson's paper): We confess that we are well pleased, in fact we expe rience a certain sense of relief. The Democracy have escaped a serious danger, and the Republicans have missed the one combination which was full of promise for them and menace to us. The solution of their dilemma and the stra'egy of the situ ation was a union of Depew rvnd Har rison on the same ticket and an ag gressive fight for the two Democratic strongholds of New York and in diana. The chieftain for this Republican crisis was Depew, and his rejection shows how little of the genius of political instinct and sa gacity is left in Republican leader ship. St. Louis Globe Democrat (.Rep ): Harrison and Morton tho ticket has a sonorous and resonant sound. It will undoubtedly prove strong and popular with the country. St Louis Anzaiger: Cleveland and Harrison are now before the Amen can people. Cleveland, during his administration, proved to be a com petent, conscientious official. By his statesmanlike, conservative adminis tration he has gained the unbounded confidence of the American people, and will undoubtedly down Harrison next November. Pittsburgh, Pa., Dispatch, (Rep ) The Convention in the end acted with wisdom: and if the Republican party is capable of winning at all, it should go in the fight with firm confidence V .. ..... . ..1 it in its ability to win wun mis comoi nation. Detroit Tribune (Rep ): The Chi cago ball ia over. While the result iB disappointing to the Republicans of Michigan, it is yet eratifyine to know that it is not more so thau it would have been had any other can didate than Alger been chosen. The choice has fallen upon a man to whom the Republicans of Michigan will cive their united and enthusiastic support. St. Louis Republic (Dem): The country is to be congratulated that the make-shift nominee, .Benjamin Harrison, has no individuality that will obscure the platform on which' he is nominated. He will stand be fore the people as the representative of higher taxes las the remedy pro posed for high taxes. Pittsburg Post (Dem ): Ihe nomi nation of ex-Senator Harrison is a stronger one than would have been that -ci Blaine or Sherman, but weaker than that of Gresham, Alii son or Mcliinley. We do not see that he has positive elements of strength; he certainly has some weak ness. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette (Rep.: Beniamtn Harrison in a Ra. publican, always was a Republican. He is sound on all the great princi ples laid down ia tbe admirably con structed platform of the party. . The platform is the embodiment of his re cord. There is nothing in his whole life of a politician, a statesman, or a citizen that needs defense or explana tion. His character is as pure as his name is illustrious. The nomination is also a full recognition of tbe sol dier element. Cincinnati ' Enquirer (Dem.) -. It does not require a telescope to dis cern the fact that from the beginning the friends of James G. Blaine under the brilliant leadership of Steve El Kins, had their own way and domU nated the result In every as pect of the result 'he magnetic man of Maine has demonstrated his leader: ship of the Republican party. Whether he can lead it to victory i9 an entirely different question." Kansas City Journal .1 Rep. i : Gen Harrison's caudidacy -will appeal in tli'-" strongest manner to the very best interests of American society. He stands as the exponent of Republi canism in tho highest sense of. the word. San Francisco Chronicle : General Harrison has been selected as the Re publican candidate, not by the State of California, but by the great Re publican party in convention assem bled. He now stands as the chosen representative of the principles of Republicanismaud notably of that grand principleTrotection, which, as Mr. Blaine says, is incalculably great er than any man, and it is the duty and doubtless will be the pleasure of every genuine Republican to give him cheerful, earnest and hearty sup port. San Francisco Alta (Dem.) : There is present, portentous and actual danger in supporting Harrison in this State. The Republicans of this State have before them an opportu nity to show that their anti-ChineSe zeal has not been a pretence. If they wish to save their party in California from absolute destruction, let them reject Harrison, and refuse to put an electoral ' ticket in the field. The whole State will await the decision with interest. San Francisco Post (Republican) : Harrison was not the first choice of the voters of California. Gresham or Alger represents the attitude of the Coast far more closely than Har rison, especially oq the Chinese ques tion, and California would have been far better satisfied had either of these men been chosen. N. Y. Evening Post (Mugwump) : The ticket nominated at Chicago after such prolonged agony is not of a kind to excite much enthusiasm, but ia, nevertheless, a very respectable one, and for this we return thanks without reserve or siint to the Re publican party. ,, - Of the nomination of Mr. Morton little need be said.

Wnat It Hmu, New York Times. For the first time in its history Republicanism means, not incidental or rational protection, not discrimina tion and adjustment of tariff rates for the benefit of manufacturers, but the maintenance of the tariff with all its "inequalities," of its inequalities above all, of its outrageous favorit ism, its gross injustice, its blighting restriction of industry and trade, its burden on the manufacturer who can not make his own materials, its en couragement of monopolies and, trusts. Do tbe Republican leaden really believe that- after a quarter of a century of power, with a moderate modern policy, they can regain as cendency by going back to the Mid dle Ages for tfieir principles and their medals ? .
