PUBLIC BATHS.

Perhaps the agitation Of the construction Of
Public Baths, before get private ones, may lie
deemed bv some premature, but when the Iu' lie
are to be the gamers, and nature furnishes The
means. it strikes rs that the theme is worthy our
pen, and worthy the attention Of The people gell-
orally.
Abut;on is considered by physicians to be high
ly necessary to health. The action Of the water
on the skin opens The oros, and admits the bad
disease which may lurk in the system to pass OF
quietly. Tho neglect Of ablution sometimes has
tens disease. THIS fact therefore, being conceded
that Bathing is important % health tha question
arises, how are persons to battle who have no fa
cilitics: 1t is true, We have the Mississippi and
its tributaries, but how are those individuals who
know not how to swim, to enjoy the benefits to be
derived from The efficacy OF pure cold water, un-
less they Jump into til, Mississippi, and run the
risk of losing their lives. How, too, are
children and females to enjoy the luxury Of Ba-
thing? These are questions for the peoples let
us answer them.
The natural facilities for GOOD bathing estab-
lishments in and about st. Paul, are very great
For instance, the bluff Just this side of the Post
Office will prevent for many years, the budns
of Lcvce there, in consequence Of the abrupt
ness of the rock, but better or more desirable
place for public bathing house cannot be found
any where on the river. Here. with very little
expense could be built building sufficiently
large to accommodate cur citizens and strangers,
and at a cost which would warrant the proprictors
in furnishing baths at very low fgurc,- at least
sufficiently low to make it an nduccment for all
to patronizc the enterprise. The location is CEN
ral,-away from the noise and hustle Of the city,
free from dust, cool and pleasant. 1t could al
be made easy of access. One or two pairs of
stairs could be constructed 1.-TWO would be prefer
able-one for the ladies and one for the gentle
mcn) from St. Anthony street to the foot of the
bluff, and with very little expense, the interior
arrangement of the establishment could be of such
a nature as to induce those who once visited it. to
visit it again. In view of these facts, will not
some gentleman or company of gentlemen take
hold of the matter, and push the undertaking to
completion? 1t certainly will be money making
arar,-it will tend to promote the health Of
city, and greatly add to the comfort and convent
encc of not only our own citizens, but of those
who may make their sojourn among As the
enterprise is very feasible, we trust some move
ment will be made at early day towards erect

Late advices from the plains received here state
that business at Santa Fe was dull. The news,
however, is of no general ntest.
The cholera had made its appearance amongst
the various emigrant trains between Fort Kear-
ney and Laramie, and many had fallen victims
to it.
The continued rains had rendered almost every
stream impossible. There is not at present half
as many emigrants except Mormons on the roads
this year at the same time last year. Horses
and cattle are also very scarce, and the new mail
contractors to Salt Lake and Santa Fe had COM
menced their operations, and were about stocking
the road.

THE CRoPs IN lRELANp.-The Ireland Journals
received by the last European mail, give aattering
accounts of the condition of the crops in all parts
of the Island. Potatoes have been extensively
planted, and appear TO be free from the disease
of former years. The thinning of the population
by famine and emigration is now regarded as a
great blessing. The old dull "moraI agitation,''
agitation for ''tenant right" goes on, while the
good harvest prospects and the high produce are
urged by the landlords as good reasons for in
creaslng the rents. The farmers plant and sow,
and the landlords enjoy the fruits. Such is the
grand rule of Irish social economy.
