THE TERltOns OF THE COLUAIBIA
RIVER BAR.

The commercial world has long
looked upon the Bar at the mouth OF
the Columbia River as a terror incog-
nita, and our California neighbors,
jealous Of our growing commercial
prosperity, have done all in their
power to convince foreign ship-own-
ers that such was indeed the fact.
Fewer vessels have, we believe, been
lost upon tho Columbia River Bar
than upon that which bars the on-
trance to the Golden Gate, and the
result Of the latest coast survey has
developed the fact that all vessels
crossing tho Golden Gate Bar can
cross that at the mouth of the Colum-
bia River with equal oase and safety.
Notwithstanding all that has been
said and written concerning this
much oyerratod obstruction and tho
many heavy draft ships that have
gone hence to foreign ports, still
ship-owners are compelled to refuse
eligible offers for their ships because
of their limited knowledge concern
ing the Bar, and it would be well
were our citizens to prepare few
copies Of the coast survey maps and
forward them to some of the leading
Chambers Of Commerce in England,
in order that slip-owners' minds may
be disabused ofthewrong impressions
which they have acquired concerning
the dangers Of this great bugbear.
As an evidence Of this prejudice, we
need only state that the ship Sover-
eign Of the Seas, now in Sun Fran
cisco, was chartered by firm in this
State at q manilestly better figure
than could be obtained in that port,
but when the matter was referred to
the owners in Liverpool, the charter
was not ratified and the firm were
compelled to look elsewhere for the
kind Of vessel Of which they were in
ecd.--.Nacs.

A Model Wash House.

According to the Neu Orleans Times
Mexican correspondent, Vera Cruz has n
a public wash house which might be
advantageously initiated in those cities in
this country where liberal supply of water
canno. be procured by all at their homes.
II is a open building. supported by columns,
occupying two sides of square. 1t is
scruru!ously clean,and through the middle
! are two large marble troughs. with fifty
subdivisions on each side, affOriing sufficient
room for u washerwomen with her work
An abundance OF fresh, clear water is pro-
yided by faucets to each subdivision. The
accommodations afforded at the public
wish house are free of charge. Hundreds
of ~ashwomen may be seen here at any
hour of the day, busy with hands and
| tongues. The proportion Of the square
! not covered by the bu;!3ins is kept as a
lawn, and used exclusively for bleaching
an drying clothes. Water in Vera Cru.i
Is brought distance Of fifteen miles from
/ the river Jamapa, near the town OF
Nedelln. The water works are owne 4 by
the city, and resemble those of the city o!
ST. Louis. The water Is cool and clear as
as crystal, and costs to each households
who has it ia reduced into his house a
monthly stipend of 81. Water is pro
durable free from the numerous public
fountains.

The Ice Question.
To Coo!, or not TO Cool.

Mrs Lucy ii. Hooper, who perhaps I'M
consciously bears Oh; che theory Of certain
doctors, that the women of America ale
addicted to the inordinate use Of ice-water,
writes as follows from Paris, where they
don't have the article:
elIet as blue b.azesv' is the weather at

a perspiring American describe the weather
Yesterday at cur hotel. In consequence Of
which straw Der rirs, flowers, M d percale
dresses are in season, though ice water,
alas. is not. Words are wanting to ex-
press the longing that Expresses the exled
American, when the scorching summer Sun
creates a desire for that national and natu
raj beverage: thirst which lukewarm ria
ordinuire is powerless to assuage. When
l recall the huge refrigerators, the tall
water coolers, the dewy ice-pitchers of my
native land, where the cup of cold water is
so freely offered to all thirsty mortals,
without money and without price, feel
like taking the FIRST return steamer for New
York
To show that some people are in favor of
returning to the barbarous practices of our
primitive foreiathers in this matter of cool
ing drinks, We quote the following from an
editorial in The New York World:
There is a great Geal of needless suffer
