The Art or Swimming. Persons are drowned
by raising their arms above water, the unbuoy
ed weight of which depresses the hancL Other
animals have neither motion or; ability to act
in a simUarmanner and therefore swim natur
ally. When a person falls into, deep water he
will rise to the surface and will continue there
if the hands are not elevated. B: he moves his
hands under, the. water, in any way he pleases,
his head will, rise so high as to give him free
liberty to breathe ; and if hie will use his legs as
in the act of walking, or ascending steps or
stairs , his shoulders will rise above the surface
of the water so that he may use the .less exer
tion with his hands, ' or apply them to other
purposes. 1 These plain directions are recom
mended to the recollections of those j who have
not learned . the art of swimming, as i they may.
be found highly advantageous in many cases.

The New Berne Theatbe. We, would most
urgently entreat the Manager or owners of the
Theatre to re-organize the diagram of seats and
create an entirely new arrangement, so' that
more than 150 people can be comfortably and
advantageously seated to hear and see the per
formances on the stage. - We do think this Hie
most miserably constructed Theatre we have
ever entered, and knowing the advantage that
must be realized to the Manager, as well as the
comfort to visitors, by an increase of accommo
dation and structure of the seats, which we be
lieve can'easily be effected without much ex
pense, - it is to be hoped that some plan may
be adopted by which the present construction of
the benches, chairs and gallery may be remedied.
Take away the division between the Dress'
Circle and Parquette, and throw the entire Pit
into tiers of circular benches, divide the Gallery
so as to create a separate apartment for the ne
groes civil rights bill to the contrary, notwith
standing and you have a simplified diagram of
this Theatre. I . ' j
'; V Laila." The Operetta, ;"Laila," as -rendered
last night at the Theatre was surely a
success, and too much praise cannot be awarded
the laiiies who had this entertainment in charge.
We avoid particularizing the cnaracters i repre
sented ' in this play for the present, because we
are not prepared to do that full" justice i to the
subject which it merits. La " our next issue we
shall allude i to the differenVparts and the man-
I ner of their execution; We really had no idea
that -an Operetta of such difficult composition
could be gotten 'up inthis community,' but we
challenge any other city in the State to surpass
or even equal, the ' beauty of - ".Laila," as 'ren
dered last night. Such sweet,' child-like; nat-;
ural, unembarrassed acting' and troe singing
is seldom witaessed or heard on the part of
amateurs experienced in the opera or drama.
We''aroTligh1:'t6r;ow that the Operetta
will be repeated on Friday night,' the" 29th inst ,h

'T Babies Linen.
An eminent physician in the Hearth and Home
contributes the following exquisite article ' for
the benefit of young mothers. It is the richest
gem yre have culled for some time; He says : j
"An intelligent young mother inquired some;
days since how she could best preserve her
child's linen clean and sweet when changed frefj
quently during the day. I directed her never toj
dry ' it by the fire, but in the sun and open air,!
if the weather permitted. You thus not only!
avoid saturating the air of your rooms with the
violate and poisonous gases driven out of the
linen, but the sun's rays have powers of cleans
ing and disinfecting which artificial heat has
not, and will purify and preserve the linen.
She followed my directions, but, as is too often;
the practice, dried ana aired it in the nursery,
window. Her fastidious husband remonstrated
in vain against this unseemly exposure. Be
Ueving that if she saw her practice as otiiers
saw it, she would desist, he so directed their
afternoon walk as to bring tiie nursery window
in full view from a central part of the town.'
Stopping abruptly, he pointed to the offending:
linen- flapping conspicuous in the; breeze, ' and
asked Kuxastically: (My dear what is that dis-l
played from our window?" ' tCWhj,m she proudly
replied, that is the flag of our union !" Con-I
quered by this pungent retort, he saluted the
flag . with a swing of his hat, and pressing his
wife's arm closer within his own, sang, as they
walked homeward:
"And long may it wave.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY TOE
State Executive - Committee of the DemocraHc
Conservative Party Plan of Organization.
The State Executive Committee of the Democratic-Conservative
party, at a meeting held in
Raleigh, on the 16th of April, 1874, adopted the
following resolutions and plan of organization :
KESOLfCTIOHS. - j-
fiesolued, That we deeply sympathize with
the people of the West in their want of railroad
facilities, and pledge ourselves to use every
available means to secure the earl v completion
.of their projected lines.
- Resolved, That the Republican party having
despoiled the State of millions i of dollars here
tofore appropriated for railroad purposes, is
unworthy of public confidence, and that experi
ence justifies the conclusion that if that party
should be again entrusted with the administra-r
tion of our internal improvements, its leaders
would again prove recreant to their sacred
jtrust, and would divert the public fund to their
private purposes.
Resolved, That a wise policy . dictates the
adoption of such measures as may be necessary
to increase the educational advantages of the
children of North Carolina.
Resolved, That we earnestly recommend to
the , members of the Democratic-Conservative
party to discourage independent candidates and
all other disorganizes, and that all support be
promptly withdrawn from every aspirant for
oflice who shall oppose the regular nominees of
our conventions.' r . ; j
Resolved, That we tender to the friends of
Free-Government our sincere congratulations
at the triumph of the great principles of the
Constitution as illustrated by the Democratic
successes in the recent State and local elections.
PLAN OF ORGANIZATION.
The following plan of organization of the
Democratic-Conservative party was adopted :
1. The Executive Committee for the State
shall consist as at present appointed, and shall
have all the powers heretofore conferred upon
it. .: v ' - , ; :. ;. , w -
2.. The Executive Committee for the Congres
sional and Judicial Districts shall continue as
at present constituted, until regularly changed,
and shall have general supervision of th affairs
of the party in their respective districts.
3. In each county there shall be an Executive
Committee composed of a Central Committee of
not less than three members, and of at least one
Committeeman from each Township. This
Committee shall, under direction of the County
Convention, have entire control of county mat
ters. J It shall be their duty to see that all the
details of the canvass are properly conducted;
that the polls are attended by competent chal
lengers; that each Conservative casts his ballot.
They are particularly enjoined to take the nec
essary steps for the efficient organization of
Townships, and to seek by a wise administra
tion to promote harmony and to inspire con
fidence. " . , '
. 4. All Executive Committees are properly
chosen by the Conventions held for the respect
ive territorial divisions; but if for any cause
there should be a failure by the proper con
vention to appoint an Executive Committee,
then the State Executive Committee may supply
5. Nominations for County officers and
members of the General Assembly shall be made
by County Conventions; for Town or Township
officers, by. town and township conventions ; for
members of Congress and Judicial officers by
the District Conventions.
6. All Conventions shall be open, and due
notice of the time and place of convening the
same shall be given. j j
The resignation of Col. ' Walter Clark, as a
member of the Executive Committee, on : ac
count of his removal from Halifax, was read
and accepted, and Dr. HIE. T. Manning, of
Weldon, was appointed to fill the vacancy, after
which, the following resolution was adopted: !
Resolved, That this Committee adjourn to
meet again, in Baleigh, on the 10th day of June
next, and that all the members be requested to
attend. W. B. Cox, Chairman.
