For the MinnesOtian.

MEssRs. EDITORS Public Baths are becom-
ing actually necessary in ST Paul. Is there no
one to found such an establishment? Now is
the time to set abOutit. In good central sit
uation (say in the vicinity of the Post Office, }
Public Baths would be source of great COM
fort to us all, and pour pile of "placcr chips
into the proprietor's pocket. Very little time,
trouble or expense would be needed for the
building, and our noble river would gladly give
her gratuitous aid.
"PrBILc BATHS. Hot, cold, tcpid and show
or Baths, at all hours, -- street. St. Paul,
-. proprietor"
Who among our worthy citizens will fill the
blank: Assure him, Messrs. Editors will
hail him as public bencfactor. Yours, &C.,
AQuA.
Our correspondent says truly, such an estab-
lishmcnt is greatly needed here, not only for
" home consumption but for the wearicd and
dust-covered stranger who arrives among us
with soiled skin and enervated muscles. Who
will start Bath House Il EDS. MINI.
ls- We call attention to the card of Mcssrs
Bristol & Whcelock. Both these gentlemen are
we'll acquainted in Minnesota, and we'll adapted
to the business they engage in. They have the
full confidence of all their numerous acpuaint-
ances.
GIs- The recent exciting contest which oc-
CURED in the House of Representatives at
Washington, on the Nebraska bill, continued
for thirty-six hours without intermissiou, dur
ing which time the votes on yeas and nays
were taken one hundred times
EVERY MANS RrGHr.-The Rev. William A.
Stcarns. Massachusetts clergyman, gave an
able discourse on the late Fast Day in that State,
upon the subject of slavery, - it's present as
poets and relations In it we find the follow
ing sentiment:
I" If any standing on the high places of the
nation for time make bold to ask me why such
as dare to express an opinion on public affairs
Il answer, first, because l am a man, and hon
orable senators are no more; second, because
l am an American, and would not have my
rulers by ambitious compliances, become less
third. because | am minister of Christ, and
while pay my taxes as a citizen, and enjov
no more immunties than others, l have as much
right to petition to Congress on subjects con-
nected with my professional interests as the
iron men, or the coal men, or the merchants,
have to petition Congress on subjects connected
with their employment"
DEFINITION OF A GENTLEMAN.-The late and
lamented Judge Talfourd, in the case of Wag
vs. kelson, tried at the Bristol England, AS
sizes, shortly before his sudden death, thus de-
fined the character of gentleman
The evidence proved that the defendent
while in the theatre, had said to the plaintiff.
do not speak to me, am a gentleman and
you are tradesman." ..Gentleman. /" said the
learned Judge, sis a term which does not an
ply 10 my station, but to the mind and FEELINGS
OF every station. The man of rank who deports
himself with dignity and candor, and the trad
esman who discharges the duties of life with
honor and integrity, are alike entitled to it:
nay, the humblest artiZen, who fulGls the OBJ
!'eauohs cast upon him with virtue and honor. |
Is more entitied to the name of gentleman than
the man who could indulge in offensive and ri |
bald remarks however exalted his station"
