The Turkish bath is q subject to

should be directed. The Object
aimed at by these baths is to open
the pores of the skin and rouse them
to their legitimate throw
ing OIL the rejected matter of the cir
culatlng fluids. Unless this matter is
thrown off freely it poisons the whole
system, the man becomes what is
called bilious, his digestion becomes
poor and he droops until something
turns up (either death or cold wea.
ther) to relieve him. The Turkish
bath is the invalid's and the lazy
mans exercise. 1t sets the skin to
work, which helps the stomach,
which calls upon the torpid liver;
and the whole man is thus renovated
by process which, as here applied,
is perfect luxury-a glorious orien-
tal enjoyment.
The bath is not one of water but
of air-heated air-frst, and water,
of graduated temperatures, after
wards. There is but one first-class
establishment in New York, and that
don't say I'm IN Irishman) is on
Brooklyn Heights, just across the
river: 1t is kind of health resort,
the baths being the main remedial
agencies, administered under tue eve
of DR.. Shepherd, the proprietor.
Patients take courses of bathing.
The process is the main point I
wish to bring attention to. Let us
trace it. The bather enters q recep.
ton room and registers, then pro-
ceeds to dressing room, where he
leaves as much of his clothing as
would get wet in the heaviest mid
summer shower; then proceeds to
the warm room, where the air is lis
degrees, and remains there about a
quarter of an hour; then goes into
the hot room, the air of which is lao
or $50 degrees, to suit the patient,
where he remains similar time;
then is conducted into wash room,
where he is skampooecl-a process
that neglects no part of his outer
man and manipulates every muscle in
his body-a process that brings into
service the palms of the attendant,
brushes, sponges, perfumed soaps,
Jets and showers of less and less tepid
water, towels numberless, and ap-
pliances of luxury and health of
various kinds; and, finally, he goes
to the cooling room, where he gets
ready to return to the dressing room
where he started. When he emcrges
from the building he feels ten years
younger, and wants to run foot race.
Then there are Russian baths, also;
but have not spared space to tell
you about them. These look to the
same end, but take different.means to
reach it. D.

Elk! Governor Fairfield, OF Michigan :
in 2 campaign speech delivered az
Aenia, Ohio, related the following
beautiful incident Of Prussian histo,
;ry:5t eTStgfese5' r. 2s '''F7'I -
L remember seeing Windmill That
seemed beautiful It had its histo-
ry. When Frederick the Great WIS
Emperor Of Prussia, he went out q
little way from Berlin and built him
q palace at Sans Souci. He and the
Empress were seated one Sabbath
afternoon in their beautiful grounds,
and the Empress said: "I don't like
that old windmill over there; I wish
you would buy the grounds and tear
it away, as it mars the beauty of our
grounds, being right alongside, and
so near them here" sI'll do it
tomorrow" said he. So on the
morrow he went to the miller and
told him he wished to buy his little
homestead. "I don't wish to SELL"
said the miller. "But," said the
Emperor, II must have it. I wish to
extend and heantify my grounds, and
your windmill is on eye-sore to the
Empress;" ''but," said he, emy
grand father is buried yonder, and
my father is buried there. and this
has been the home of my ancestors
for generations; I want to live and
die here, and cannot sell it." The
Emperor, getting out of patience,
said he would order his men to tear
the mill down and take possession Of
the grounds. Said'the miller, "MIay
it please your majesty, there are laws
IN Prussia, and I can sue you" "I
don't care" said the Emperor, and
went on and tore down the mill.
The miller sued him, and the courts
decided against his Majesty, and de-
clared that he should rebuild the
mill, and pay to the last farthing all
the miller had lost.
The Emperor bowed his head,
went and rebuilt the mill, and paid
all the damages. After awhile Ere
derrick the Great was in his grave,
and the old miller was gone; but by
and by another miller was there, and
another Emperor was on the throne.
The miller wrote to his reigning Ma
lesty that SO many years ago, his
grandfather refused to sell his wind
mill to him, but said he, 81 am poor
and need the money, and I will sell,
and hope the price may be such as
to please your Majesty; L must have
s5. The Emperor, with his
own hand, wrote reply. He wrote
simply this: "You say you are poor.
[ am sorry for it. You are willing
to sell your windmill for $4,000.
The windmill cannot be sold. It be-
longs to Prussian history. Enclosed
find my check for $1,000. Yours
respectfully" And the name and
great seal of the Emperor was
affixed. I stood near that mill on
o beautiful afternoon, such as this
has been, and wandered among the
trees, or listened to the singing birds,
and caught the fragrance from ten
thousand beautiful flowers that filed
the air with their perfumes; thought
the most beautiful thing of all L saw
was that Windmill, with its ungainly
arms.

Mr.. John M. Brosius, of Liberty,
has invented o new coupling of rail
road cars. which, the Sentinel thinks,
is destined to supersede all others.
1t dispenses entirely with the neces-
sity of q hand between the cars to
fasten it. The mere pressure of the
cars together is sufficient to fasten it
securely. But the greatest advantage
OF the new coupler is that it unfastens
itself, if the engine or any car should
be turned or thrown off the track. A
deviation from the track of fifteen
degrees instantly uncouples it, and
prevents the possibility Of the whole
train being thrown off Mt the came
time.

RADICALS DIsFLEAsED WITH
GRANT.

The Philadelphia Post is a Radical
paper, but it has the candor to admit that
Gen. Grant has come out Of the contro-
yersy with the President considerably
worsted. The Post says
General Grants letter will disappoint its
readers. II is reply 10 one Of the least
important parts of the Presidents argu-
ment-the charge of INSTRUMENTATION. The
question in which the people are specially
interested, ia whether Mr.. johnson is at all
correct in his statement OF Grants position
while acting as Secretary OF War. Gen.
Grant himself challenged Mr. johnson TO
make good his word, when he accused him
of many and gross Misrepresentation
Mr.. johnson accepted this challenge, and
undertakes 10 prove that Gen. Grant did
make certain promises which he afterwards
violated. He brings forward his Witnesses
they are five members Of the Cabinet
they all sustain the Presidents assertions,
We think, therefore, that il will be gen
orally regretted that Grant does not make
some positive reply to these plain charges
that after giving the lie, not only to the
President, bat TO the gentlemen who have
been hts official companions for six months
in the Cabinet, he should coolly reply, 81
propose to notice only that portion Of your
communication wherein | am charged with
characterization" We do not like ,his
sudden termination Of the controversy.
Gen. Grant said "Your account of my re-
lations to you is false" Mr.. johnson said
at is true" and instantly Mr.. Welles, Mr..
McCulloch, Mr.. Seward, Mr.. Randall and
Mr.. Browning come forward and declare
that the President is right. To lis it seems
uuwise, at the least, for General Grant, at
this point, TO refuse to notice the testimony
of these gentlemen, and to dismiss the
whole affair.
Yet il must be remembered that General
Grant has no Witnesses, and may have
thought that he could bat repeat what he
had said before With the whole Cabinet
against him, what evidence except his own
word could he bring forward? None. The
country in accepting his account of the
secret history of Mr.. Johnson's admins
tration, will have 10 take it on his simple
word, and in doing 90 must reject as nm
worthy of respect the assertions of the
whole Cabinet.

THE ALABAMA CONSTITUTION.

One Of the editors Of the Cincinnati
Commercial, who ia now in Alabams, writes
to his paper as follows in regard to the pro.
posed constitution for that State, which was
voted upon and fairly rejected few days
ago:
"The white people Of Alabama are more
nearly unanimous in their opposition to
the new constitution than they have ever
been on any other political question. Six
months ago several of the Conservative
journals supported reconstruction under the
laws Of Congress, but this new charter sent
them ali in the ranks Of the opposition.
Thousands Of men, who were uDfalteringly
Union during the war, are heartily engaged
in the work TO defeat ratification. The
articles embodied in the new constitution
that are most strongly objected to are
81. The perfect political equality Of
races.
go. The right Of adventures from other
States to hold Office in Alabama.
SO. The excessive taxation provided for.
"a. The oath required Of voters, that
they will now and forever favor negro
equality
d. ne ul6lFanCutseinent OF obiN'V NHito
citizens.
&c. The creation of a Board of Educa-
ton, with power to provide schools for
only the indiscriminate instruction of all
children, white and black.
Now, ask, in all candoT, what would
be done in Ohio with a constitution with
such requirements Would il get $4,000
votes in the State? The fourth article
above is maniiestly at variance with com
mon sense and decent Belf-respect. No man
can honestly swear that he will now and
forever support any political principle or
dogma. IL the constitution be ratified as
it probably viii, the Conservatives expect
Congress to alter this article, which yir-
tually disfranchises every man in the State
who has Just idea Of the sacredness Of an
oath. and the mutahilities Of politics and
communities. Other Of the points named
are open to grave objections. What those
objections may be would be percepiible if
applied to the organic Law Of your own
State"
