B.4THS FOR WOMEN.
Tie Free Swimming BaihS in the CGy q
Nev York.

New York Herald One Of the baths most
,requented by women is that at the foot OF
Bethune street, North river. most beautiful
s,ht may be seen here about five or six clock
in the afternoon, when dozen or two expert
swimmers have the bath TO themselves.
These women have figures which, IN symme-
try of development and gracefulness, equal
the antique statues, those standards of iemi-
nine beauty which arc, in great measure,
the result Of perfect health of mind and body.
These graceful. water rymphs vie with each
other in performing difficult feats-swimming
under water, on the side or back, going
through aquatic gymnastic exercises, diving,
racing, etc. One woman, called "MaSgle by
her companions, is one Of the most expert OF
the swimmers, one of her feats being to
swim the length of the bath in eight strokes.
Two sisters, named Mason, are also ''periect
DUCKS in the water. These women all
belong to the working classes, and their devel-
opment of muscle gives beauty Of line, elac'
ITCHY and grace TO their forms.
Most of those frequenting the free baths
supply their own bathing dresses and towels.
They are not allowed to wear skirts. The
iavoritc dress is a single garment, with open
lngs for the lower limbs, arms and head tt
pass through, reaching about half way to the
knees, with arms and neck bare, and buttor
fastening the garment AT the back of the neck
Those who do not bring their own suits arr
charged moderate fee for the use of thos
to be obtained at the bathing houses, 1t j
generally tie case that the Young women am
girls, who have no extra clothing TO imped
their progress, learn to swim in much les
time than those who are robed in the FIJI
bathing suit There are some sixty or seven
ty closets in each bathing establishment
which are always kept tidy and in good orde
on ladies' days by the lady attendants.
The above will give the readers of tn
Herald a general idea of the utility of thes
establishments without going through tn
entire list, the rules and usages being simia
in all of them. Sufici-nt is shown an
known, however, to establish the fact that tn
free swimming baths of the city of New for
are instructions that should be encourage
upon every consideration connected wit
healthfulness and bodily cleanliness and con
fort.

The Columbia Herald Of last week says {:
We hear of many mad dogs in tie parish.
Several negroes have been bitten by them,
and, few days ago, one attacked Gen. Huns
BILE as he was out in the woods looking for his
stock. The General was on horseback, and
when the dog attacked him, put spurs to his
horse and rode for the backwater, followed
by the dog. On reaching the water the dog
took fit, and the General escaped unhurt.
He then went home and sent some men, with
guns, to find the dog and kill him, which they
did.

OUR ATTITUDE TO WARD MEXICO.

The course Of events in Mexico since the
United States interviewed ten years ago to
prevent the establishment; of the empire under
Macmillan has proved almost TO demonstra-
ton that the elements do not exist in that
country out of which an orderly and durable
system of self-government can by the unas-
sisted efforts of the Mexican people be de-
veloped The whole cizilized world recog-
nzes this to be the case, and the public opinion
of Christendom justly expects the United
States to accept the responsibilities imposed
upon us by our own deliberate policy towards
Mexico. |, is certain that nothing will ever
compel the Mexicans to submit themselves TO
constitutional and lasting form of govern
ment excepting an absolute conviction in the
first place that the power IF the United
States is practically irresistible by them, and
IN the second place that the United States
will not tolerate the conversion Of so noble
part of the American continent into botbed
of disorders and deviliries without end. Our
war with Mexico thirty years ago was
brought about mainly by the extreme for
bearance and patience With which the sue
cessors of Gen. Jackson treated the Mexican
question. Gen. Jackson himself handled it
as he had handled the Spanish question in
Florida-grasped the nette with hand Of
IRON and left it soft as silk. His successors
were over-diplomatic. and when finally it
became necessary to take decided measures
they could only be taken under conditions
which made war inevitable. The news
that the Americans intended to march upon
the capital of Mexico was received through
out Mexico with scom and derison. Ten
years had obliierated the impressions pro-
duced by the course of President Jackson, and
it was only after the gigantic sleeps of the
Cumbres of Maltrata had been sunnounted
by the northern army that the people OF
Mexico began TO believe themselves any.
thing less than invincible. Ten years after.
wards, in 1855 the lessons read by Palo Alto
and Buena Vista, Cerro Gor,lo anil Chapul-
tepoc had grown dim in their minds.
The French undertook the work four years
later and wonld have succeeded IN il beyond
doub. had it not been necessary for the
United States, in vindcation of our own
traditional policy, to insist that France should
Withdraw from the undertaking. So fan n:
Mexico herself is concerned the fruits of on
interference at tina; time have been of very
dubious character. So far as we ourselves are
concerned we see those fruits in the outrage:
and law lessness which have compelled us II
1877 to reassume the attitude taken mp by Us
under the leadership of President Jackson il
- 1887. Ii is TO be hoped that it may not bt
necessary for now, any more Than it wa
then, TO 20 beyond such plain manifestation
of our legitimate purposes and Of our powe
10 accomplish them as cannot be mistaken

Press Opinions on the Proposed

Be toits virtues very kind,
Be to its faults little blind.
We hope to be able to give it warm,

ground that any settlement is better
Than none, but on the higher ground

A Petition Against the Bill.


National Associated Press to the Star.
NEW YORK, Jan. ga petition to
Congress in relation to the compromise
plan for the Electoral count is in crcu-
lation at the Union League Club and
elsewhere in this city. The petitioners
make substantially the following sug'
gGStlOns:
First-That the constitutionality Of
the proposed act should be formally
passed upon by the Supreme Court.
Second-Ghat the Judges OF the Su-
preme Court should no. be members OF
the Commission if prior adjudication
by the Court can not be obtained.
THird-That the part assumed to the
| five Judges cOmpOrts neither with the
dignity nor impartiality OF the Court,
nor with the rights of the people, mol
with the principles and safety of the
country's Institutions. The petitioners
ask that Congress will not involve the
Judges OF the Supreme Court in any man
ner with the pending contest until tht
Court shall be called TO act on the ques.
tion in its judicial capacity.
