A RUSSIAN BATH. The report made to the
Board of Health in regard to bathing
establishment in Broadway tells disgusting
story that ought to excite the attention of all
bathers in public places. At the establishment
in question they practice, it seems, great
economy in water, aud take 1t from the main
only twice a week. Water once used for
bath is not thrown away, but is run INTO tank
and used again il the supply OF fresh water
for the half week runs short. Water, il
appears, is thus repeatedly used by successive
batbcrs until it becomes intoerably offensive
to the ncighborhood What must it be to the
bathcrs, and how is the patronage of such
place kept up? Doubtless the simple publica-
ton of these facts will shut up that place.
But is this thing done at all public bathing
places, and If 50 is not the punishment of
somebody necessary for the public safety
There Is no extreme Of ilhiness that mcr-
ccnary people will spare the public; but Is
there no restraint in tho lawa

Type or A MEXICAN REyoLUTIoN--In our
latest news from ever unquiet Mexico there is
one paragraph that is an epitome Of Mexican
history 1t details in dozen lines the begin
ming, the middle and the end OF Mexican
revolution, exactly similar in character to all
the revolutions that devastate that country.
Francisco Flango pronounced in San Luis.
The people favored him till he tried to press
them into his service. He then became I'M
popular, was attacked by the government
troops, defeated and escaped, and his horses
and arms were captured. That was the end
Of Flango. In the beginning he had perhaps,
some grievance against the government that
in any other country would have evaporated
in savage communication to the editor of the
nearest newspaper.

LATE CUBAN NEws.-The campaign was
opened in the Central Department on the 25th
inst General Pueblo on that day started from
Nuevitas with three thousand men, aud with
these he asserts he will make short work of
the revolutionists in the Central Department.

Of results rather than believe such nnsatisfac-
tory promises

THE WINNIPEG REVOLUTION -Despatcbes
from St. Paul deny the sensation story that
battalions OF flibusters are to be passed over
the railroads within two hundred miles Of the
British border to help the Winnipeg warriors.
II appears no railroad reaches nearer than four
hundred miles Of the border, and the despatch
significantly adds that the thermometer is from
ten to thirty degrees below zero. Such pros
pect as that looks entirely too blue and frosty
for Your modern feather bed filibusters.

THE Policy OF TUE REPUBLICANS IN Con-
GREss. We think ii has been broadly fore
Swallowed financially in the Presidents Mes
sage. 1t is evidently to finish up Southern
reconstruction, to see to it that the fifteenth
amendment is adopted and proclaimed, and to
avoid any entanglements on the money ques-
ton. That subject, 80 far as any general
overhauling is concerned, is to be left for the
next session. The party in power, divided in
sentiment on this subject, have no idea of
splitting upon this rock before the elections of
next fall for the next Congress. Party con-
siderations come first; public considerations
may be postponed where they threaten the
interests Of the party. Such ia tho law Of our
political parties as it was, is and win be to the
end. The people must be content to pay their
taxes and bide their time.

THE LATEST BANK DEFALoATroN. The
defaication in the Merchants Exchange Ma
tional Bank, in which the cashier, T.. ].
Oakley, is alleged to have appropriated one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars-funds OF
the bank-to his own use, or to aid tis
brother in certain tobacco speculations, coming
so soon on the heels of several similar transac-
tons in Wall street and elsewhere, and impli
eating old gray-haired and hitherto trusted
and honored men, starts the inquiry, whittier
is the morality Of the age tending, and has
the prevailing extravagance Of the period
swamped the principles Of high-toned and
honest business charact.r3 II is curious how
roguery increases with the progress of modern
civilization.

The SQuATTERs on rHg Rocks. 1t will be
seen by perusal of an article on "Squattcr

is in this metropolis one of the most inviting
and vast fields for missionary enterprise ever
opened to the vision Of any apostle of Carey
or the Able Hue The facts therein stated
were CLEANED by one Of our reporters, and only

The ToMBs AND ITs 1EMArgs.-W publish
batch of leading criminals. There is nothing
Of savage criticism or carcature in the
account Of the unhappy wretches lying under
charge of murder, and if for no other quality
is at least to be commended for that. Real, it
will be observed, is in a PROSTATE condition,
aud the negro, George Brown, Is confined on
curionsly isolated and one sided evidence.

LAwLEssSEss RAMPANT. Brooklyn needs a
strong and watchful police force. Another
man last evening met his death at the hands Of
one of the numerous gangs Of brutal and law
less characters that inest her streets. The
victim was watchman and was shot down
while guarding the property Of his employers.
Matters would appear to be near that stage
when they mend

prejudiced course relative to Cuba than for
anything else This ought to be a warning to
the President, for no man, however exalted in
position, can safely act in defiance OF
public opinion in this country. Gene
raj Grant has now the opportunity
Of doing glorious thing in securing the indie
pendcnce and annexation of Cuba, the most
valuable possession in the world, and Of
establishing broad American policy that will
make him the most popular man as well as one
of the most famous statesmen in history.
Cuba is the great question OF his administra-
ton. Will he understand that? II he follows
the dictates of his heart and common sense be
will do right and reap the glory. II he sub
mits to the shortsghted and weak men around
him he will assuredly lose his popularity, and
the American people may forget his war ser
vices in the failure of his administration.

An EXCELLENT ENTERPRISE. There Is at
length some hope that the work Of reforming
our city front is near initiation. In another
column will be found the details of project
to build new canal basin in the East river
flour and grain boats and barges from Buffalo
This has been long urgently needed, but now
that il Is in the hands of General Egbert l..
Viele there is every reason to hope the enter
prise will be well and speedily carried forward.

RAILROAD RoRBraigs. The continued rob-
berries on the Hudson River Railroad show
how sbortsighted after all are the ordinary
provisions made for the safety of goods on
trains. Goods were put in freight cars, locked
and boted and barred, and otherwise made
down on top with implements handy, and
when the train was under full speed, SO that no
amount OF noise would attract attention, they
smashed their way through the tops Of the
cars and helped themselves. The companies
will have 10 try again.

the New MAE9ET.-The stalls Of tho new
market on East Sixteenth street do not go Oft
50 readily as they should. The marketmen
do not study the signs OF the times. This
establishment will become the headquarters OF
a vast country trade, and will not be surpassed
in that respect until new market ia built at
an equally popuious point on the North river,
and that will not be soon, despite the horrible
state Of Washington Market and it's neighbor-
hood, especially 10 such weather as we have
now.

STATIONS WlDow.-W are glad to perceive
that the suggestion regarding provision for
the widow and children Of Edwin M. Stanton,
which we threw out "a few days ago, has been
accepted in an active spirit. The German Re-
publican Central Committee Of this city have
adopted an appeal to Congress to provide for
the family of the late ex-Secretary Of War
and Associate Justice Of the Supreme Court.
1t 10 well known, we believe, that Stanton died
pOor--a fact which in itself might establish his
fidelity to the trust reposed in him at time
when colossal fortunes were being made by
others out of the machinery Of the War De-
partment. The rarity Of Stantons honesty, as
exempliied in his poverty, therefore, entities
his memory to great respect, and is strong
argument in favor Of the proposition that Con-
gress should do something gracefully and
gratefully for his bereaved family.

SENATOR SUMNER SIiLL TUE SANE. Mr..
Sumner has az yet seen no good reason
why he should change his views on the
Cuban question. So he says. He don't want
Cuba, st. Domingo, ST. Thomas nor any OF
the West India islands; but he does like
Canada. He thinks such an acquisition
would be rich one for the United States.
No doubt he would be willing to exchange
the Alabama claims for the New Dominion !;
but so far as Cuba il concerned he still
sticks TO his first opinions

THE FOREIGN POSTAL SERVICE IMBROGLIo.- =
The four leading European steamship com
panies having contracts for the conveyance Of
British and German mails have entered into o
combination, and refuse to carry the mails
after January at the reduced rates forming
the basis of the recent postal treaty between
Great Britain and the United States. Post

matter, and says he has no fear of any per-

ton Of our decayed shipping interest, SO that
we may no longer be at the mercy Of foreign
ers or compelled to submit to their arrogance?

Winter Evenings.

Many persons complain that during
the summer season they have not time
for reading book. and newspapers. Ev-
cry man and woman should, and can,
find time to read two or three good
weekly newspapers ut all seasons of the
year, and be all the more prosperous, as
well as wiser, for it. But now that the
long winter evenings are here, it is nee
essary and proper to look about US for
the most profitable, As well as the most
agreeable and rational manner of spend
ing them.
You sit com ortably beside your blaz-
ing, winter fire; but the world is wide,
and the Nations are busy. Have you a
desire to keep pace with the advancing
columns in the march of humanity or
would you be a stragglcr, taking no
part, or lot, orinterest, in passing
| events? If you prefer the latter then
you prefer to be mere cipher traced in
the sand to be washed away by the men
tai tides which are rising all around
you! How can you afford to be with
outa knowledge Of what the world is
doing? Cadmus, Faust, Gutenberg,
Franklin and others, have bequeathed
the wonderful products Of their genius
to mankind. viii you refuse to enjoy
your part of the legacy? Will you al
low the mental anxiety and final glori-
Gus results of the labors of Morse and
Field to be all in vain so far as you are
concerned? Yonder, in an obscure cor
ner, sits the operator with the wonder
full piece of mechanism before him.
Those clicking sounds are the echoing
steps of the moving world Is it moth
ing to you that the palSaced operator is
able to translate from those strange
characters the message which the
lightning has brought in its rapid flight
around the world? While these long
winter evenings are passing, up in
yonder lighted room stands one, busily
engaged in arranging those little leaden
embIems. In their disordered condition
those types will tell tale of sorrow or
Of joy! They will tell, too, the story Of
the worlds busy doings of to-day! Who
will refuse to hear it? Only the man
who by some chance came into the
world hundred years too late!
1t is the duty of every head Of a fam
lily to provide mental aliment for his
household, only taking care that it is of
the wholesome kind. Reading Is a
source of pleasure, which once tasted,
no one is willing to forego. Books carry
4 US back through the centuries that are
buried, or unfold to US the beauties and
wonders of science; but the we'll con-
Quoted periodical or newspaper, in addi-
ton to oil this, spreads out before us a
map of the living Present. 1t is now
almost an indispensable guide in the
journey of every day life. 1t requires
