WASHINGTON CITY:
TUEsDAY........ NAV I3, 1873.
In New YOrk eity last week the fact vas

In New York city last week the fact was
clearly demonstrated that gambling can be
suppressed whenever the police authorities are
really in earnest. The New York Sun estimates
the number Of gambling houses In that city at
1900 al of which were shut up for two or three
days and nights BY order of the superintendent
of police. The same paper says: "This fact
proves that whenever the police really choose
70 Danish gambling houses from tbs city they
have the power; and that when such houses are
in operation here il is with the consent, not to
saw the cooperation of the commissioners, SUI
Perintendent and captains of police" This
remark applies just as well to other cities as to
New York. and the hint should not be lost on
the police authorities of the District of Col
umbia.
Judge GilmOr, of Baltimore, in charging the
grand jury in that city yesterday, took occasion
TO refer to the prevalence Of gambling, and
spoke of it as Zone OF the principal causes Of
the misehiefs 10 our community, and there is
nothing that cOnmends itself so strongly to the
court" sc. He further said that the meas
ures heretofore taken in Baltimore had not sat
isfed him that sufficient had been done, and
that every grand jury should assume the re-
sponsibility Of suppressing the evil complained
of. He had no doubt if this was done gambling
could be suppressed. The trouble generally is
in every city that the war on gamblers is spas
mOdic, instead of being continuous and relent-
less, as il should be. If the officers whose special
duty il is to report nfractiOns Of the law against
gambling would do 20 faithfully and fesrlessly,
il could doubtless be broken up; but gard
juries can do nothing without facts officially
reported, upon which TO base their indictments.

The annual report of the Board of Health of
this city, which we print to-day, recommends,
among other things, the establishment of pub
lie baths. The idea is excellent one, and
must commend itself to everybody. Such baths
could be established at trihing cost compar
atively, and their value in a sanitary view can
hardly be estimated. New York has them, and
they are largely patronized by both sexes during
the summer months. The New York Times calls
for more public baths at convenient points, and
saws that the swimming bath is of all diversions
the most healthful and agreeable, and the au-
thorities cannot do too much TO promote its use.
The floating swimming baths company of Lon
don propose to erect, with the sanction of the
authorities, floating swimming baths on the
Thames. The first Is to be stationed OFF Som
erset House. a central point, and its dimensions
will be SEQ feet long by 40 feet broad, with a
depth of from four TO ten feet. 1t will cover an
area of II,OOO square feet, will contain 200
dressing rooms and accommodate 200 bathers
at once, besides Is private baths, hot and cold.

Ancient Greek Face.

Twenty years ago Mr.. Scharf, in the
account of Greek art which he prefxed
to the third edition Of g Wordsworth's
Greece" remarked that cat-like ar
rangement Of the eyes was one of the
common characters les OF all the
archaic Greek art, and the astounding
sorcophagus from the Casstellani col
lection gives a new interest to such in
quiries. At first sight it seems very
startling hypothesis that the Greeks
could ever have been like that strange
couple with their short great toes, and
hollow chests, and retreating foreheads,
with the whole face converging to the
mouth. 1t is startling to think that
there ever have been such men at all,
and that if they had ever lived they
must have lived little, if any more,
than twenty-five centuries ago. If we
are to assume that the rate at which it
is possible for the prevailing type of
face to change is absolutely fixed, we
shall put the Castellani sarcophagus
out of court altogether. We shall say
it is impossible that the artist can have
been representing what he law. Either
he was incompetent or he was not seri-
GUS. But it is certain that the rate is
anything but fixed; the contrast be-
tween the first sitter of Reynolds lis
decidedly less than the contrast between
the first sitter of Lawrence and the last
sitter of MILAN !: and both are dwarfed
by the contrast between the first sitter
of Lawrence and the last sitter of Rey-
nolds; and this again by the contrast
between the sitters of Vandyke and the
sitters of Kneller. And we go back
century from Vandyke to Holbein, we
find still greater difference of type
between the two extremes while the
well marked Elizabethan type which
comes between is sharply distinguished
from both. And this is what we really
ought to expect; the rate of change
among mems habits and institutions is
liable to the most surprising variations,
and these, like their cast of counte-
nance, are really the expression of their
thoughts, and feelings, and wishes.
We know that between $50 and $50 B.
G. the Greeks went through the most
complete and thorough mental trans
formation on record, and we ought not
to be startled by evidence which points
to corresponding physical notifications
of an unusually rapid kind. Portfolio.
