ENGLISH SEA-BATHING.
scenes at Brighton.

A Brighton letter to the Cincinnati
Commercial says:
There is hardly a more dismal sight to
be witnessed than the English woman
taking her seaside bath. Enshrouded
in heavy, ragged and ugly blue gown,
she goes into the surf only to be the
sport both of the waves and the multi
tude of men gathered on shore to binocle
the performance. No man is permitted
to 90 into the water at the ladies' beach,
not even witt his wife. The sexes are,
however, only theoretically kept apart.
Fifty yards OFF the men are bathing with
about as much raimeut as Adam had
when in full dress; they are just far
enough away to be fully visible to the
ladies, without being of the slightest use
in case of an accident, and accidents
are frequent. On the day of the bank
holiday more than score of women
fell down in the waves, and were pre-
vented from rising again by their
long skirts. Some of them would have
been drowned but that men rushed
into the water from the shore and
saved them. Let it not be supposed
there are no lifeboats; there are several
very fine ones, and while bathing goes
on they are kept locked up in perfect
houses one hundred yards up on the
beach One finds at an English bathing
shore how dull and stupid the nation is
in some things. Every gentleman and
lady you meet with will Individually ex
press an opinion in favor of the Ameri-
can and Continental plan of allowing
Al.
corous costumes. ANY one with eyes in
his or her head can see that the prudery
which separates them on the English
beach really results in every conceivable
indecorum attendant on bathing. But
Just as England STAYED off tramways
until the cities of every other great
country were enjoying them; just as it
has been without sleeping car uHtil
this year, SO Il has held on to its semi
barbarous fashion of having men and
women theoretically bathe in separate
spots, the practical result, as | have
said, being that they are close together
and neither decently costumed.
According to the police arrangements
of Brighton, men and boys are permit
ted to uudress on the shore, without
using bathing machines, and take swim
before eight O. clock in the morning and
after eight in the evening. 1t is still
broad daylight at eight in the evening
and it is one of the odd sights of Brigh-
ton to see the public bathing Hun.
dreds of men and women assemble on
the esplanade, and as the hour Of eight
is toled from the steeples there is a rush
of thousands into the sea 1t never APP
pears to occur to any one that there is
the slightest indecorum in this scene,
which takes place almost beneath the
windows of the most fashionable street
in the city. The railing of the esplan-
ade, Just oger this rude multitude, is
fringed with persons of both sexes; and,
indeed, down beneath, in the same water
where the men and boys are bathing,
there are hundreds of women and girls,
with skirts high tucked, waaing and
gazing wistfully out in envy of their lux
uriating brothers And all this in a
country where it is thought indecent for
men aud women, however carefully
dressed, to enter the water together.

MEMPHIS TENN: MONDAY EVENING 81 1874

Grant is man every way who would
please the South. He never hated the
South, and he fought his battles because
it was his avocation to fight battles.
The South respects him for winning
them. Nothing goes further in the
South than a good fighter, unless it be a
good horse. The very faults ascribed to
Grant by his critics would be considered
virtues by leading Southern politicians.
His cigar.smoke would be a social in
cense. His appreciation Of blue. grass
whiskey would be no offense to people
who talk over their political dreams on
the porch Of wayside inns. His lack Of
that fruitless quality which leads men Of
the North sometimes to talk much about
progress, would endear him to the South.
ern heart. Some of his social habits
might be compared by them with those
of Old Hickory.
We think that Grant affects the South.
His compliment to "the immortal Jack
son" may have been sentimental and
honest, but it was also polite. He ap'
preciates people who dream and spec
ulate; and he has reason for knowing
that, when reused up from social slum'
ber and hurried into the field, they
fought well. Then, he knows that the
dream of the South is dream of politi-
cal despair; and he has respect for a
fallen foe. He adds to this quality that
other one, of being the only man who
can retain. the black vote and at the
same time win the white; and while men
like John Forsyth will never coalesee
with negroes, either socially or political.
ly, there need be no wonder if they will
permit the negroes to vote for a white
candidate of their choosing = Frank
Leslie.

Very few American families, says the
Saturday Review, retain for any length
of time a high political position. II we
were to seek the representatives OF those
who bore a chief part in the Revolution
we might find them, no doubt, despite the
breaking up of estates sRd the rapid dis
sipation even of the largest fortunes,
among the so,ial aristocracy of the
older States; but, except in the South,
the very fact of their hereditary reputa-
ton tends to bar rather than to smooth
their way to public career. OF the great
names belonging to the first generation
of Federal statesmen and soldiers in the
Northern States, there is but one that
has been constantly represented in the
public life of America, or whose bearers
are at this moment known beyond their
own country, o. known there as public
men. Randolph or Randall Is still an hon-
ored name in Virginia, and the family Of
Washington, as well as that Of one Of
his most distinguished lieutenants, was

independence by the foremost Of the

as it was eighteen hundred years
ago is now to be seen in Paris, winding
up with an eruption Of Mount Vesuvius
which is said to be splendid. The whole
city is reconstructed before the specta-

played. Photo-sculpture is among the
means employed to produce the illusion.
