A Spicy Lecture on Popular
Subject.

We have read with much interest
and satisfaction recent lecture by
DR.. Reamy, of Cincinnati, before
the students and friends of the
Ohio Medical College, on the sub
iect of bathing. The subject ap
pears very simple, but it is one
upon which a great deal of igno-
rance seems to exist among the gen
eral public. In matters, pertaining
to health, there is none more impOr-
tant than the proper use of baths;
for those who would be healthy
must observe cleanliness above
everything else. DR.. Reamy says
the ignorance of people upon the
commonest matters of hygiene and
therapeutics is astonishing, and is
illustrated by the recourse which is
frequently had to crossed hazle-
wood sticks, buckeye beans, and
even charms, to present or allay
disease. 1t is not surprising, there
fore, that the action and reaction
of water upon the skin should be
imperfectly understood. DR.. Reamy
describes, with as few technical
terms as possible, the constituents
of the skin. The upper surface of
the skin is called the epidermis,
which is a growth or secretion from
the derma, or true skin, which lies
beneath. The skin is literally sup
piled with blood-vessels and nerves,
and from its upper surface, which
is covered with hair more or less
visible to the naked eye, suborifer-
Gus tubes descend to the subOrifer-
Gus or sweat glands. There are
also sebaceous glands and tubes for
the secretion and employment of
the oily matter necessary for the
nutriment of the skin. OF the sweat
Glands there are 5000 to the square
inch of the surface of every adult.
/ All this clothing, as it were, of the
body is influenced either for good
or evil by heat or cold--by every
thing, indeed, with which it comes in
contact, and that condition called
perspiration consists of the abstrac-
ton to the surface of the watery
parts Of the blood. This, in a
healthy state, is very active, and
even insensible perspiration carries
off two pints every twenty four
hours. When the capillaries are
l'over,contracted by cold, perspira-
tion IS checked, and the mucus
membrane of the nose being unable
to fll more than its proper func-
tions. catching a cold, headaches
and many other forms of sickness
are the result. The pores are natu-
rally disposed to fulfill their func-
tions. but they should be aided by
frequent bathing. The best bath
in the Doctors opinion, is the
sponge bath, taken at home with
the water-except in the bitter days
of winter-of the same temperature
as the air. But little soap should
be used, and that containing true
glvcerine is perhaps the best He

| cites instances of animal virus re
naming in infected substances foi
long periods. He thinks sufficient
core is not used in keeping then
clean. It can not be too strongly
impressed upon the people says he
tbat the best bath is the one he has
described, the sponge bath, or tbs
: nlunge bath, taken at home.

1t is stated on good authority
that Gen. Babcock, John A. Logan,
Kellogg, of Louisiana, Zach Chan
dler. Ben Butler, Joe Medill and
other shining lights of the Republi-
can party, ever true to their natu
raj instincts to rob, plunder and de-
ceive the people, have conceived and
formed a conspiracy for the pur-
pose of making money out of their
political friends, as we'll as all 9TH
ers who can be trapped into a conf
dence game which they have set
ahoat. The plan of operation can
be briefly stated. A pool Of one
million of dollars was raised some
time before the election and distrib-
uted throughout all the large cities
of the United States, to be used for
betting purposes on the result of
the election. The fraudulent part
of the confidence game was this: If
Louisiana should go Democratic,
Kellogg was to telegraph to infiu-
entiaL journals in the large cit les
that the State had gone Republi-
can. Ben Butler, Zach Chandler,
Gen. Babcock and other well known
Republicans were to do the same.
The scheme worked to a charm;
all day yesterday, last night and
this morning the city was flooded
with bogus dispatches. These dis
patches had the effect of making
Republicans jubilant. They be-
came excited and bet their money
freely-all of which. of course, they
viii lose. Our Republican friends
may be somewhat surprised when
we inform them that their bets
were all made against Republican
money and they have been made
the poor duPe of a cunningly de
vised ploU which has cheated them
out of hundreds of thousands of
dollars. All kinds of dispatches
were circulated at the Grand Pacific
and Palmer House. Some of them
pu1portcd to have come from Gov
ernor Hendricks to confidential
friends coneeding Hayes election.
Decoy Ducks from the Grand Pa
cifc would cordially clasp the hand
of q Republican and congratulate
him upon the result of the election,
and then in a most confidential
manner show him bogus dispatch
and advise him to lose no time but
bet his pile Telegrams from Gov.
Tilden of a like character were con-
fdentially exhibited. The Tribune
and Evening Journal were used to
advertise the swindle, and their part
Of the dirty work was faithfully per-
formed. All over their windows
were posted special dispatches
from Kellogg, of Louisiana, and 9th
ers, stating that Louisiana had
zone Republican by six thousand
majority. We are surprised and as
tonished that journals claiming re-
spectability and sharing, to some
extent, public confidence, should
lend themselves to a gang of swim
dlers and to betray and deceive
their party friends and the general
public,

ssThe great loyal States Of Ameri-

Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Ohio

Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minneso-
Ia, Wisconsin, Colorado, Nebraska,

raised the money and the men to

well TO fnterpese that probably"
for some Of those great loyal
States have gone for Tiiden, who.
according TO Forney, is a traitor :

the other ''great loyal States

The election just held confirms
the impression that it would be a
wise provision were the president
elected for single term of six
years, and upon retirement given a
place in the Senate, which unless
extraordinary circumstances should
intervene (such as unexpected sick
ness or death), would insure from
one to. three x-presidents in the SEN
ate, who might be recognized as Sen
ators at large, or in such a manner
as would enable the country to
