ington from North Carolina, which state that
the frauds in the recent election there have
been so glazing that even honest Republicans
do not deny them. A legal official count will
give Merriman the majority by quite two
thousand; and no doubt is felt that, at the
proper time, the Supreme Court of the State
and the Legislature will install him into Office.

HOW THE PARISIANS TAKE A BATH.

The Paris correspondent Of the London
Times gives the following description of
the Seine bathing: "At first there is some-
thing strange in seeing so many half ma
ked men pulling themselves coolly about
Qn the Seine,) but there is an innocence
and simplicity in the whole proceeding
which divests it of any idea of improprie-
ty. Here, for instance, are three gentle-
men and two ladies, all in bathing dresses,
and all giving themselves the air bath,
which their limited costume renders
agreeable, before taking their swim to.
together. The boat stops in mid stream;
a little ladder is hung over the side, the
gentlemen all go in like frogs, one after
another, head first, the ladies go in more
like ducks, with a sort of fiutter and
rush upon the surface, and 50 they swim
merrily round the boat, laughing and
chasing one another, and every now and
then climbing up the ladder to rest. At
Bas Meuden there are a number of cor.
cred boats which may be hired, and with
III the gypsy Ike tent at the stern the la
dies make their toilets, while the gentle
men make theirs in the bow. But here
are also islands, with convenient bushy
| shelters, and bathers of both sexes take
advantage OF them in the absence of bath
ing houses or better cover.
Then there are pretty villas upon the
river bank. which suggest to the occu-
pants bathing place OF their own. As
you walk along the bank, you meet, for
instance, lady charmingly dressed. trip
ping down her garden, out across the
road and down to the waters edge. In
a second something is apparently unhook-
ed, the becoming morning costume sinks
in heap at her feet, and reveals an
equally dainty, but very different form of
attire, in which, having kicked off the
slippers from her stockingless feet, she
plunges into the stream, and kisses her
hand from the middle of it to her husband
who is standing admiring her from the
balcony Of his drawing room. Afterward
her maid comes down with large wrap
per, and she runs home like dripping
Naiad with her children, who seem to
have had their bath, all trooping and
laughing around her. There is great
deal of swimming learnt from boats, the
swimmers having a cord attached to his
or her waist, and being upheld and direct
ed by man in the boat The whole Of
the aquatic performances which appear to
be confined to the bourgeoise, is conduct
ed with the most perfect innocence and
propriety. Whole families come and
splash about for the real enjoyment of the
thing, and the performers seem far more
decently clothed than those in lie Roi
