ed by the incessant changes in society in times and in
circumstances.
The organic laws, to be published before the Gov
ernment instituted by the Constitution can 90 into
operation, are not yet out. We have been daily |
looking too for the nominations to the Senate and
Council of State forming part of the institutions.
The Moaiteur is daily looked to with much interest
for the names of the new dignitaries They have
not yet appeared, but the sem-oficials assure us
that the public curiosity will very shortly be graft
fed. No public document of much interest has
been published since the date of my last The most
important and significant is circular of the Minis
ter of the Interior, addressed to eighty projects
of France, touching the elections which to
take place under the new Constitution for members

not yet promulgated, that public functionaries

1t is generally believed by strangers visiting Paris
that, of all the cities in the world Paris is that in
which the use of public baths is most general and
popular. / confess that / was Of this opinion--we
see those establishments so frequent in all the better
built and more comfortable quarters of the capital
But the fact is that it is in these quarters almost
exclusively that they are found have been much
surprised at the following result of certain inyest
cations that have lately been made upon this sub
ject There exist in Paris but 125 public bath
houses, furnishing a total per annum Of baths of
ISIS, 500. Besides these there are established
upon the Seine ITSELF within the city limits, four
large establishments, furnishing warm baths, and
others afording swimming baths in the Seine during
the warm months. These are estimated to afford a
total of 900 per annum, giving grand total of
only 2,l1S, 500 baths per annum for the whole
Partisan population. This is an average of only two
per annum for each inhabitant. Considering that
the use OF private baths is of very limited adoption,
owing to the scanty distribution and dearness of
water, and the defective mode of construction
in Paris, we are forcibly led to the conclusion
that, even among the easy classes there are very
many whose bodies not wet by water from one
years end to the other. This state of things ac-
cords well with other general facts which are noticed
by foreigners resident in France. The average
price of warm bath in Paris is twelve cents. (sxty

and other apparatus Of bathing. You may furnish
those articles yourself. If procured from the es-
adjustment they augment the price Of the bath
One Of the earliest and most praseworthy DEGREES of
the Prince Louis Napoleon, after the coup detat Of
the I'd December, was one ordering the establish
ment of model bath and-washing- houses upon a
cheap plan for the Of the people, and appropri
ating to the construction Of them a first credit Of
S113,80O. Plans for these edifces have already
been submitted. The first is to be erected in tn,
quarter eff the Temple, one of the most dcnsely
populated Of the capital.
