There is one element Of civilization

there public baths at all commens2rat
with the needs of the inhabitants.
There is danger that, unless the want
be speedily supplied We shall obtain the
unenyiable reputation of being the
dlrtiest nation in Christondom. We are
not only lamentably below our CO.
temporaries in this respect, but even the
ancients excelled ns. In Greece, bath
ing houses were attached to the schools,
and immense public baths we're to be
found in all the chief cities. The i'm

which still astonish the traveller, are
well known. Pompe,i was a small

ing establishments covers an are. of
ten thousand square feet.

How Girls Should walk

"Onr Young Folks" the new Boston
Magazine for jnvenils. Just published,
under the cditorship Of ]. n. Town
bridge, Gail hamilton and Lucy Lar.
com, gves the following advice 10 girls
IN the use Of their arms when walking :
The first time ycu are walking with
your arms at liberty, stop moving them
and hold them by your sides. You
will be surprised TO find how soon your
companion will leave you behind, al
though you may hurry, twist, wrigglc.
and try very hard to keep up. One
reason TOR the slow walk among girls is
to be found in this practice Of carrying
the ar ns motionless Three miles an
hour with the arms still ,s as hard
work as four miles with the arms free
| have seen the queens OF the stage
walk. have seen girls and women Of
qneenly bearing walk in the street and
drawing room. They move their arms
in free and graceful manner. Could
this haiti bccome universal anon. girls
their chests would become enlarged
and their bearing be greatly improved
Sc that girl walking with beth hands
in her mutr. How she wiggles and
twists her shoulders and hips! This il
because her arms are pinioned. Give
them free swing. and her gait would
soon become more graceful.
You have seen pictures of our
muscles. Those Of the upper part Of
the body, you remember, spread out
from the shoulder in all directions, like
fan. Now if You hold the shoulder
still, the muscles Of the ches, viii shrink
the shoulders stoop and the whole chest
become thin and ngly.
But some girls will say, "Swinging
the arms must be very slight exercise =
T,ne it is very slight if you swing your
arms but one or two times, but if you
swing them ten thousand times in a day
you will obtain more exercise Of the
chest than by any Other ordinary
movements combined. Ind, ed If |
were asked what exercise l tho't most
effective for developin. the ches, Of
American sirse, I sho.ld reply at once,
swinging the arms while walking.

A Public Park..shalr We Have oua .

While our city Is making rapid strides to-
wards metropoIitanism in every other direc.
ton, she is doing absolutely nothing to provide
Parks-an institution which is necessity in
large city, and which nearly every other city
has neglected to provide until too late.
Our city should profit by the experience of
other cities in this matter, and take steps at
once to provide commodious park. 1t will
be an actual necessity at no very future
day. Indeed, in some measure it is now, as any
one can see who will notice the throngs of peo-
pie who may be seen every pleasant day walk
ing out on our hills to enjoy the air and crafty
that universal innate love of foliage and flowers
which even residence in the bleak walls and
bare streets of city only intensifes.
We say the city should attend to this mat
ter nov, because the longer it is deferred, the
more difficult will it be to accomplish it when
it becomes an absolute necessity. Land will
become so high, and eligible sites so scarce,
that if long neglected, it will finally be-
come impossible to establish Public Park,
and the future generations in our city will la
ment the shortsightedness and folly of the
earlier and present rulers and legislators of our
city.
A site can be easily and cheaply secured now
on the summit or side of one of the hills cir
cling our city. What could be more charming
for public park, for instance, than that beau
tiful hill at the head of Wabashaw street? It
commands view of the whole city, and is
even now q resort for pleasure seekers, albeit
the wood thieves have stripped it of every bush
even, big enough to afford shade from the sun.
Where, in future days, are we to have groves
suitable for our celebrations and national fetes,
and pic MICS? These are now becoming so
frequent that this question presses itself upon
our attention. A public park thus becomes an
institution" in which all should now feel an
interest, as they will ere long feel it neces-
sity.
We throw out these suggestions, as we have
frequently heard the subject mentioned, and
believe that the citizens generally agree with
above views. They are certainly worthy of
serious consideration.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Times speaks of the proposed reduction
of the army, and the red-tape obstacles to rap
idly mastering out, &C., IS follows:
1t has been positively decided to proceed at
once to reduce the strength of the army to one
hundred and twenty-five thousand or one hun
dred and fifty thousand men, and the arrange
mepts therefor are proceeding with all possible
dispatch; but it is feared that the work of mus
tering out which involves the Strengthening
ND Of records, the complication Of reports and
the settling of accounts, requires much time
and vast amount of labor, and the War De-
partment is therefore not as sanguine regard
ing the early disarmament of the army as are
some of the general officers with commands in
the field. Red tape cannot be cut any more
readily now in the disorganization, than 1t
could in the days of organization. Although
no official order has been issued yet on the
subject, it is determined to muster out all vol.
uuteers whose terms of service expire prior to
the 31st of October next, infantry as well as
cavalry, the order for the latter being already
out
Boards will be at once appointed to examine
all officers who wish to remain in the army,
and their records will be subjected TO pretty
Thorough investigation. From personal con-
tact with many officers in the three corps now
camped near this city, learn that the number
who will remain in the army is large, espe-
cially among the younger officers, who may re-
tain their present rank, or something very
near 1t, with chance of rising higher. The
troops impatiently brook the unnecessary de-
lay incident to their discharge. 1t may be a
month before they are sent home, and If the

From the Chicago Times.
AT late gathering at the Cooper Insti.
tute, New York, George Thompson, OF
England, made speech, in which he said
that che did not claim the right of suf.
frage for the black man. simply 80 an act
Of justice, but as right because he is a
man-no moreno less"
Now, We submit taat, in place of en-
deavoring to confer the right of suffrage
upon four million negroes in this country,
MIR: Thompson would look much better in
trying to secure the right of suffrage for
twice or thrice the same number of whites
in his own country. Let him attend first
to securing freedom for the white slaves in
England, and then ne can appropriately
labor for the freedom OF the blacks in the
United States.
