GLAND foR THE LAnDLEss PIT is
a good suggestion, thrown out by that
lively and sensible paper, the Winns.
boro Ne,vs, that the great party which
is preparing to grapple with and over.
throw Radical rule in South Carolina,
should enter the contest with bold
and exploit avowal of it's policy and
determination to provide in good
faith and by Legitimate means for the
honsst and homeless poor, be they
blacks or whites, those homesteads,
the delusiVe promise Of which has
heretofore been so potent an element
of success to the pack of knaves and
adventurers who now control our State
government. Such q policy, while it
would DO just and beneficial in itself,
would at once rally to our support
thousands Of voters in every section
of the State, who are already more
than half inclined to side with the
party of decency, honor and truth

the barley in the Winter or early
Spring, growing on rich land, makes

lands is the most certain Of all other
crops. 1t is never injured by cold or
wet or dry, nor by rust. or, mildew,
like other grain. It makes itself
e"rlier'than any other crop, being the
first to come to the relief Of the farm

ought to cultivate barley in this coun-

HUMBoLDT.-Whilo every people
honor their illustrious dead, this is,
think, the first instance where all ma.
tions have united with the countrymen
OF great man in paying centennial
honors to his memory. 1t may safely
DO said without incurrlng the charge OF
exaggeration, that sculpture and oratory
have been to-day in every section of the
world invoked TO reproduce the noble
head, massive brow, and intellectual
features Of the great German, and to tell
in every language the marvellous tale
of his travels, explorations, and vast Ia
bors, in every cline, and CT his return,
after years Of perilous adventures, ladon
with wealth. Of scientific treasures, the
accounts Of which yet Gil us with admi-
ration and amazement. THIS world
wido apotheosis OF Humboldt seems
more nearly TO fulfil the definition oi
tho word than any honors that have
heretofore been paid to the distinguish
ed dead. Well might the ancients
torn such tributes IAN enrollmen,

tersburg to Lisbon, from Quebec to
San Francisco, and on every island and
every continent whero the influence oI

FREE BATHS FOR THE PEOPLE.
present mild weather and the approach
of summer, admonish us of the necessi-
ty of making suitable provision for the
health and comfort of the people of
this city, especially the poorer classes.
by furnishing them with opportunity
and conveniences for free bathing.
There is no need now to discuss the
question of the ut ility of free bathing
houses in any city-that is settled long
ago, and the wider the experience of
them the more popular do these baths
become. No city that has established
them will ever abandon them, and
the increase in the number of bathers
from year to year is something marvel
lous. Boston began three years ago
with two public bathing houses, and
now has sixteen, and all are thronged
The admission fee of two cents charged
in most of them, to cover the necessary
expenses is regarded as no burden at
all, and is cheerfully paid, and it more
than covers all the expense of maintain
ing the bathing houses-as sanitary
measure the establishment of bathing
houses for the people is worth more
than whole battalion of city physi-
clans, or q volume of sanitary and quar-
rantine regulations. II people can be
induced to try and keep clean, three
fourths of the danger OF sickness is
avoided We would rather have two
public bathing houses in Elizabeth
than ten Boards of Health. For city
located as this is, with facilities for
building bathing houses all around us
there can be no excusa for being with
out them. Gentlemen of the Common
Council, do give us this thing.
