disorder, strife, and bloodshed in Louisiana
and Alabama, in addition TO their other
woes, it is simply because an insane leader
will not accept as lost, the cause which they
once submitted to the aTbitrament OF the

THE latest report concerning Gen. Butler
is not Of political, and we trust not of a
piratical character. He is sailing along the
coast between here and Cape Cod in his
yacht. The only question of interest is:
Where is Frank Moulton? Is he afoat with
Butler to keep out of reach of the calls of the
BROOKLYN committee?

Bathing.

The necessity for hathing.paccs for largo
pop;liatious will ultimately force upon large
| towns the adoption OF measures to allow Inc
people to battle without exposing themselves
to public observation. We sec that 10 Phlla.
delpaia they havea rigid ordnance against
such exposure, and the police frequently ar
rest men for batllirS in exposed situations
Twenty odd persons were thus arrested on
Monday and brought to answer for violating
the ordinance. 1t would be far better for
Philadelphia to provide q batbing-place fol-
her people, and thus avoid this mode Of pun.
ishmeut of persons whose great desire for a
bath forces them to public jndcccncy.
Men must balhc. 1t is natural. Every
where the love Of wafer in warm weather Is
irresistible. People rush into the flowing
streams and are refreshed and invigorated
By frequent bathing. 1t is important for the
preservation Of both health aud cleanliness,
In time we Shall have to consider the cues
ton in this city. I'm Boston and New York
there are public baths = more for the accom-.
mediation of the poor than for protection
from public observation, because there bath
Lighthouses at reasonable rates are very abun-
dant. Other cities will have to follow the
example.
IN Richmond we have plenty of water,
and it is not difficult to construct screens
Of some sort behind which mu'titudes may
battle. The solid granilc-bed OF the river
will enable US to build any sort Of structure
needed. A few columns Of iron deeply
planted in the rocks would serve for attach
ing to them movable walls that might be
readily raised above the fSesheS, which never
rise higher than niue feet
AS the city increases III population the re-
firing places diminish and the number need
ing the bath increases. 1t is subject that
might we'll engage the attention of the phi
Ianthropc and practical.

"TuE WEATHER To-DAY.-Clear weather,

[ have always regarded predictions by
weather-wisc people with the same consider
alton awarded to the tales Of old
women foftune.tellers-and facts, from
day to day, sustain my opinions on
this subject. Such calculations or pre-
dctions are the essence and quintcsscDce

dicrion of an old lady who was daily in the
habit of saying that she believed 1--WE were

numerous stations all over the country state

mometer, barometer, and thermometer are
consulted and reports are sent to him. lie
knows 10 what direction and how fast the
wndsa and rains and storms travel, and would
be stupid if he couldn't give good guess us
to the weather. Now, here is the whole of
Ola Probabilities prediction for yesterday !:
"For New England and the Middle States,
generally clear weather will prevail, with
variable winds, 4 slight fall Of temperature.

Prorating.


The Wing replies to the three points that
We raised last week against pro.rating. 1t
SAYS as to the first that there will be but one
charge. True enough in name, but not in
fact. General MALONE will collect both
charges at once, or the Southern Company
both charges at once; yet it is none the less
true that MALONE must have his fifty cents
and the Southern Company its fifty cents.
If the Southern Company runs over a line,
it pays, as we understand, so much car
load or so much per hundred. 1t carries.
therefore, dozen small packages for the
same price, or an Insignificant advance upon
the price, of one such package Of courSeit
can afford to charge its patrons very
small sum for small packages. But if it has
to pro-rate with General MALONE, it must
have at least as much for bringing an article
from Burkeville to Richmond and delivering
it from its own wagons at mans door as it
would charge for bringing the same article
from Farmville. Whatever it could bring
from Burkeville for fifty cents it could bring
from Farmville Cor fifty cents. But if it pro-
| rate with General MALONE, he must have at
least twenty-five cents for his service, whilst
their charge, frem the very nature of the
case, cannot be reduced. The business COM
| munity understand this point so we'll that we
| need not argue it further.
10 our second point, the Wing replies that
if the Southern Company gives ga through
receipt" it will be responsible. Unquestion.

Tug COMET Professor Henry M. PARK
hurst. OF New York, says that on the 20'h

These sensational professors and astrono-

vast deal of suffering amongst nervous peo-
pile. When we reflect that we cannot see
through a column Of steam or very thin
cloud, and yet can see stars through the tail
of comet, we may well treat such tails y
with contempt, and say with that great
philosopher and physicistJoHS TYSDALL that
we could put whole comet, tail and all,
into one horse cart. The tail, too, always
stands off opposite the suu-evidenee enough
