OF the United StateS-The interest," anu hohoi VI
the people demand IT,"
Now ifthere is any honest single minded Jack
son man in Virginia, or any where else, who
believes Mr.. Van Buren, sincere in giving such
a toast, we beg to inform him it is all hoax:
In 1926, Mr. Van Buren,, Governor Marcy, and
the Albany Regency, applied for oranch al
Albany; and Mr. Van Buren, wrote a long letter
with his own hand to Mr.. Biddle, in favor of the
Bank, and urging the application. That letter
is in the archives of the Bank at this day-and
also one from Gen. Jackson applying for ano-
Their branch Of the MONSTER at the South. We
speak of things which we have seen and read.
and there is no mistake in the matter.

The Collar Press--The enormous amount of
money paid out of the Public Treasury, by the
Post Office Department, to Blair, Hill, Green
and other Collar Editors, has prompted US to
look around and see how many of the Regen-
CIV Presses in this State feed at the public crib
1t is known that Patrick O'Reilly, who mana
ged scurrilous Regency print at Rochester,
received 500 in 1892, and 1925 in 1898, as De-
putty Collector at the Port of Genesee, while it
is notorious that he performed none OF its du-
ties! This is an illustration of Mr.. Van Buren's
mode of ''improving the condition of the Press"
That paper is still jointly managed by OReilly,
who is now known to be a fungus attached to
The collectors Office and another Office holder.

mings, who is Post Master and County Judge
The Ontario Messenger is edited by Albert
Lester, who is Post Master at Canandaigua,
with salary of $1,000 per annum

r.. De-

The Saratoga Sentinel is edited by G. NJ. Da-
vison who is Clerk of the Equity Court, Printer
to the Supreme Court Utica Rail Road Comis-
sioner, with three or four smaller Offices
The Albany Argus, from which all these sub
ordinate Collar Presses take their cue, draws
,Ar f. Al g. t,S4
printing and at least $4,000 per annum for its
legal advertisements.
These fourteen Presses, therefore, are shown
to live on 'Spoil," and are of course the mere
hacks of the Albany Regency What bit
ing commentary this is upon Gen. Jackson's
promise to keep the patronage of the Govern
ment from coming in conflict with the freedom
of electionsm
We should like to extend and complete this
list of subsidized Presses, and will thank our
friends in the vicinity Of these colared organs,
to inform us how many of their Editors subsst
upon the "Spoils of the Vanquished."

Addition and Bathing.-When the saline and
animal elements left by perspiration are not
duly removed by washing or bathing they at
last obstruct the pores and irr1tate the skin
and it is apparently for this reason, that in the
eastern and warmer countries, where perspira-
ton is very copious ablution and bathing have
assumed the rank and Importance of religious
observances. Those who are in the habit of
using the flesh-brush daily are at first surprised
at the quantity Of white dry scurf which it brings
off; and those who take warm bath for half
an hour at long intervals cannot fail to have no.
ticed the great amount of impurities which it
removed, and the grateful feeling of comfort
which its use imparts. The warm, tepid, cold
or shower bath, as means Of preserving health
ought to be in as common use as change ofap-
parel, for it is equally measure of necessary
cleanliness. Many, no doubt neglect this, and
enjoy health Notwithstanding; but many, very
many, suffer from its omission; and even the
former would be benefited by employing it.
The perception of this truth is gradually ex
tending, and baths are now to be found in fifty
places for one in which they could be obtained
twenty years ago. Even yet, however, we are
far behind our continental neighbors in this re-
spect They justly consider the bath as
necessary of life, while We still regard it as
luxury.
