Hereford Rcruted.

In his recent speech in the United
States Senate Senator Hereford made a
statementto the effect that he had seen
United States troops at the polls in West
Virginia in 1870. This statement the
editor Of the Washington republic, whose
editor was a resident OF Charleston at that
time, directly contradicts. He says:
"Senator Hereford made a curious mis-.
take in his statement that he had seen
soldiers at the polls in West Virginia in
1870. In that year there was but one
company Of soldiers in the State. They
belonged to the Third Artillery, and had
been sent from Fort McHenry to assist
the United States Marsha. in taking pos
session Of a large tract Of land in one Of
the back counties. AT the time Of the
election this company was located at
Charleston, and | recollect very we'll that
an order was issued that they should not
go near the polls. Moreover, if I recol-
lect rightly, two out Of three ofthe officers
commanding the company were Demo.
Gratis. The troops were not used at the
polls, nor was the idea OF their being used
even so much as suggested. Senator
Hereford will have to retract."

COST AND ARRANGEMENT.

The cost Of such baths as described
would be only s 1000 for half an acre, $500
for q quarter, and $3.50 for an eighth Of an
acre, where they are supplied from the
water works. In smaller towns and vii
lagos, where there is no a%Queduct, but
generally located on rivers and creeks, the
water may be supplied from a dam, or
even a large-sized ram constantly running,
and at a small cost.
The arrangement for the use Of the bath
may be six days in the week free, and II in
the South, where there is a large colored
population, three oil four days may be set
apart for whites, and two or three for col
ored according to population. Women and
girls from IA. N. to 12 NJ; men and boys
from l P. N. to u p. NJ. On Sunday for
whites only. Women and girls pay ten
and five cents; men and boys pay ten and
five cents, to accommodate those who de-
sire greater selection OF company, and are
willing TO- pay a small fee for it; the
money to be used to pay for part Of con-
struction, attendance, repairs, gas and ice
water, which with the profits from the
refreshmeut-stand, and soap, towels, and
brushes furnished, would doubtless pay
part OF the first costa man and q woman
attendant, and o laborer to draw of, clean,
and fill the bath. The city railroads run.
ming near should contribute a large part oil
the first cost OF the bath, as the increased
travel to and from would generally pay the
cost OF construction three times over each
year. And, II in q northern city, the bath
may also be used as q skating-rink in win
ter to help defray its expenses in sum-
mer.
In the extreme South these baths would
BIO used six months each year, TO decrease
70 the North to five and four months.
Their cost would be tritling, while they
would be gladly used in all cities, towns,
villages, and even by farmers and others
adjacent. The advantages would be clean
illness and comfort in hot and dusty days
and nights; the removal and prevention
Of numerous skin and other diseases by
the free use OF water and SOAP, often medi-
Gated; while a clean body would general
~ lead to clean clothes, houses, alleys,
streets and sewers, and thus improve the
general health and prevent many epidem-
&c diseases, including yellow fever, cholera,
and perhaps even the plague; and, lastly,
by furnishing convenient, clean and safe
places to learn to swim, they would save
the lives OF thousands Of men and boys
drowned each summer by trying to swim
in dangerous places, the life Of one being
OF more value than the cost of q bath;
and by teaching t~hegeneral public OF both
sexes how TO swim would save the lives Of
thousands more which are now lost year
~ BY accidents on the water. Doubtless
such baths, universally established, by
the prevention OF diseases and accidents,
would q v the lives OF full 100000 men,
women and youths yearly in the United
States and Canada.

establishing free swimmiug.bahts in all
their cities and towns, and sven villages,
10 improve the general health aud ward
Of epidemic diseases, and especially the
plague. This, he says, Isa wise, health.
full and economic enterprise, and an ex.
ample that should be generally followed
in the United States. He says that New
York city has six Of these free swimming
baths-three in each riyer-which were
each used by about 2,lOO persons daily, or
over 800 900 total bathers Of both sexes
last summer. Other cities onthe Atlantic,
and doubtless on the Gull, the lakes, and
the large rivers, have similar baths. Boston
is spending $4,000 this spring for more
baths. These baths are enclosed floats,
and cost several thousand dollars each.
But in most cities and towns such baths
are inapplicable from the want Of deep
water, or, II located on a river, from the
wantot accessibility, A more practicable
plan for such places would be to build the
hatha nm land. 'Hf

The Episcopal Church at ParkerSburg.
At a meeting Of Trinity parish, Parkers.
burg, on Thursday evening, May LIST, the
Rector was requested to read to the con.
~gregation on Sunday, May 4th, on the &C.
casion OF the conservation of the church,
the following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted:
RtsOtred, That an invitation to attend
the services Of the church is cordially ex-
tended to all persons who may desire to
do so, and the assurance is given on be-
half OF this congregation that those who
come will at all times be welcomed, and
care will be taken to provide for their &C.
Commodation.
RcSOlred, further, That, while in the op,n-
ion OF the Vestry, necessity requires that
the pews be rented at present, in order to
provide q certain income to meet the obli.
cations oil the Parish; yet It is hoped no
n here will fell less at home, because OF
not being apew.holder; and the congreca.
tion is earnestly requested to cooperate
with the Vestry in providing for the re.
ception and comfort OF all who may come
into the church,
In renting the pews the vestry reserves
the right, when necessary, to seat any one
coming to the churchin any pew that may
be vacant.

NOW nArns snouLp nE MADE.

Large cities should have two or three,
while smaller cities andtowns should have
one OF a hall, a quarter, or an eighth Of AN
acre; 10 be located centrally, as also near
the junction Of city railroads. Construct
by ploughing the ground from eight-to
eighteen inches deep, 80 as with scrapers
10 make bankstohold water two teetatone
end and FIVE feet at the other. When the
banks are well puddled and settled. by
filling the pool with water, cover the bot
tom, slopes and top Of banks with planed
boards, nailed 10 narrow sills, steps to be
made on all four sides TO 90 down and
come up out of-the water. Surround with
q tight planned board fence, ten TO twelve
feet high, with board roof sloping In.
wards, eight TO ten feet wide, under which
are 10 be benches, hooks for clothing,
small mirrors and other ~conveniences.
The deep water end may have a raised
platform for divers, to which should be
moored o RAFT with q wide hook.end pole,
TO be ready in case OF accidents, and to
learn TO swim from. Also have water
closets at the deep waste end, anda re.
freshment stand, with cold water, at the
entrance side or corner.
In large cities and towns these free
swimming-baths may be constructed in
public parks, as a small part of such
grounds could not be put TO q more useful
purpose. The pool Is to be supplied with
water from the mains, to be drawn off and
filed late at night, when the pipes are full
and unused, so as not to decrease the gen.
eral supply in the day time, except a small
stream running in and out when the bath
is in use, And the water thus drawn of
suddenly into q sewer would help to flush
it, and renderi it less obnoxious in summer.

A Narrow Gauge Enterprise Under Way
over In Jefferson County Ohio.

A Narrow Gauge Enterprise Under Way
over in Jefferson County, Ohio.
Thursdays Steubenville Herald gives an
account OF a narrow gauge railroad that is
well on its way to completion between
Browns Station on the G. & P. Railroad,
six miles above Steubenville, and Rich
mond, eleven miles back in Jefferson
county. This road has been built very
quiotly-so quietly in fact that a reporter
of the Herald was almost surprised to find
it in progress at all. 1t is being built, as
it seems, by the unaided efforts of the poo.
pie along the line, and everybody has
taken stock i n it, those who had no money
having volunteered to work out their sub.
scriptions. 1t is Of course being built very
economically, and these are the days
when such enterprises can be put through
at a very small cost by those who are in.
terested in making every dollar tell for
the road.
"This road wa1 begun in July 1878. by
the people OF that locality, who had long
felt the need OF some additional outlet for
the produce raised on their farms, rs we'll
rs for the coal, iron and other minerals
with which tho hills Of Island Greek
abounded. Stock was raised and work
first commenced on the line between The
river and Davldson's Mill, a distance Of
four miles, and progressed amid some dis.
couragements until the great flood in
September washed away considerable Of
the embankment. This, with other mat
tors caused delay, and had it not been for
the preserving energy Of those having
charge OF the matter the enterprise
might have stopped at least for tho
present, but all obstacles were over
come, and Richmond coming up 10 her re-.
sponsibilities, that part Of the road was
put under contract, and with such energy
has the work been prosecuted by the con.
tractor, Mr.. II. L. Preisler, that only three
miles now remain to be graded between
Richmond and the river. All the heavy
work along the line has been done, su6.
stantial walls OF masonry and breakwaters
constructed at exposed points, and the
roadbed made In d solid and permanent
manner. The average grade Is less than
so feet TO the mile, and the engineer, MI.
Watts, has succeeded in securing peculi.
arly favorable lines OF curves and grades
all the way. A force OF eighty men is
hard at work, and It now looks as though
the roadbed would be ready for the ties In.
about six weeks.
