Why Not Have public Baths.

Boston is trying the experiment of free
baths for the people, and it appears to be a
decided success. There are at present six
bath houses in operation, at which there has
been an everage daily attendance OF, about
ten thousand bathers of all ages and sexes.
Couldn't we have something Of the same sort
here Cleanliness is not only virtue, but
one of those virtues which reward themselves
the for it is best pfophyactic against disease
A little money spent on free, baths would not
only add much to the comfort and health Of
the laboring classes, but might prove wise
economy in the end o. 5itte
If the city has no authority to promote the
health Of the people by establishing floating
bath houses in the river, and charging a small
fee to defray expenses, it would be well for
some public spirited citizens to undertake it,
A floating bath house in the river might cost
one thousand dollars, but it would be visited
daily by not less than one hundred persons,
from whom, at twenty-five cents each, an in
come Of over $500 per month might be de-
rived. For three months to come river
bath house would be largely attended =

The Tariff

The tariff, except on few articles, appears

nifty per cent. On some of the most necessary
articles as for instance on manufactures of
IRON, this increase is so great that it will be
