Public Baths.

1t is only people like our own, that
claim the best of civilization, to whom
the public bath is almost thing un-
known. We have here and there a
sw mining school, which Is a mere pri-
vate exercise and amounts to but little
ct the most; and we have in the hot
summer a few Enclosures at the head of
q wharf or on the side of bridge,
which one needs the bath bitterly before
entering. Acknowledging this, We claim
that we have instead private baths In
private houses for those that can afford
to pay the rent of such houses. But so
had the ancients private baths beside
their public ones, and of a beauty far
exceeding the visions of our extravagant
dreams, with pipes of silver and floors
of precious stones. When even the
rude Russian in his inland village, the
Lapp, the Mexican, the japanese, has
public bath. butaltnough of.mean descrip-
ton, it seems incredible that we, who
boast ourselves so near the top OF possi-
bility in all improving things, should
hardly be on q par with. If we are not
actually beneath, such as they. One
may say, with truth, perhaps, that
emperors built the vast and superb
affairs to divert public attention from
the loss of liberty, that they ran into
fearful abuses when one ruler INDUCED
1H1-----If in eight or ten baths day, and
where another all but dweIt within their
walls, and where they became at last
the theatre of disgraceful scenes. But
1t Amay be said to all the latter. as we
are very well aware, that the abuse OF
the thing is no argument against its
use; 1T is to be hoped that our knowl-
edge and religion would be of better
proof than what answered for those
things with those ancieAts who so de-
graded themselves, and for the former,
If the enioyrlents of the bath really
could divert the Romans fromthe thought
of liberty, if an emperor conld win devo-
tion by building them, then it was
because the people priced them and
desired them and held them even aboye
the worth of liberty. Heaven forbid
that our people should ever follow such
example so farI But one cannot help
seeing that if we, as people, showed
but the first thrill of such desire for
these public baths-that is, if we showed
any desire for them a. alive should
have them. For it is we who are the
emperors and rulers here. It is our
own voices that govern, and if we want
public baths, and when we want them,
they Will rise like an exhalation, That
it is not advisable, that it is not desira-
BILE, to have them made vehicles of
mere luxurious sensation and objects of
magnifcence is evident. But if cIeani-
ness is next to godliness, then it is a
shame that the masses of our popula-
tion are kept so remote from godliness,
and our unwashed millions-even our
board shanties on wharves and bridges
being miserably insufficient, and our
Turkish and Russian conrrivances being
too costly for any but the rich and
reckless--cannot obtain at any price
what the Roman citizen, at time when
money was worth far more than now,
obtained for the eighth of penny.

THE BLOOM OF THE HEART.
Under the blue of the mld-May sky,
Mpdar tha sha1ow, ne h~ach or,, ur,a

Under the blue of the mld-May sky,
Wnder the shadow OF beech and lime,
Watching cloud-shallops drift idly by,
Free from the thraldom of fate and time;
Lulled by the murmur of breeze and stream,
Twitter OF songster, nutter of spray,
That sweetly blend with the walking dream,
And whisper one magical worl alway;
Held by the spell of an exquisite face,
voice that is dearer than all things dear,
All, but the world is a fairy place
In the bloom of the heart, the May of the year
Sitting alone in the waning light
In the dead Noyember's leaden dearth,
Watching the mists rise ghostly white,
And blend in the shadows and Quench the earth;
Musing for ave on the might-have-beeR-
Sweet might-have-been that may not be -
The tender hopes and the fancies green
That faded and nuttered from lifes fair tree;
Haunted alway by vanished face,
A voice that is hushed in the midnight drear,
All, but the world is a weary place
In the gloom OF the heart, the gray OF the year

The River.

Tie river is falling rapidly, and will
be navigable for first class boats to this
point not more than two weeks
longer.
The John II. Hanna brought up
Saturday the heaviest freight of the
season for Monroe. Her bills aggre-
gated over $1100.
The big Henry Frank sailed down
the river Wednesday,, eight days after
arriving here, having discharged,
meanwhile, her immense cargo of steel
rails for the railroad. About thirty
stalwart darkies, trained in handling
railroad bars, were kept busy in dis
charging the boat from ~ to IA hours
every day The Frank will reload
with railroad iron at New Orleans, but
will not be able to get up the Qua
chita. She will discharge at Delta.

Hon. u. Floyd King.

Gen. J. Floyd King, representative
in Congress from this district, reached
Monroe, after his arduous iatnrs in
Congress, on Wednesday, and was met
cordially by all-those who favor his
reelection not much more demons,ra-
tive than those who do not. Gen.
King is recognized Us hard worker
wherever he is knoWn-a faithful, pet
severing public servant. The General
a denomination, nor did we solicit the
Information from him. We had, how
ever, some curiosity in relation to the
withdrawal of Judge J. w. Mont
gomery, of East Carroll, for the nomi-
dation for Congress- matter about
which some feeling has been manifest
ed in one or two parishes east of this
and asked Gen. King for informa-
ton. To set this matter at rest the
General showed us a letter from Judge
Montgomery, copy of which is an
nexed-nothing further having been
heard from Judge Montgomery:
LAKE PRovIDECE, La,
July 16, 1852. J
Hon J. Floy king,
DEAR SIR.-I have your circular
letter, &c. I presume you are already
infomed as to the action of the Execu-
tive Committee at Monroe lately. 1t is
suggested that you and Mr.. Boatner
shall canvass the District. AS this
course would entail double work I ear
nestly advise you against it. I recon-
mend Won to visit this place when YOU
come home, as some parties seem dis.
posed to oppose your nomination,
am sorry that I can not then be nj
home to confer with you.
An effort was made to bring me out as
candidate for congress-at least to put
my name before the convention but
have notified my friends to take no
further steps in that direction and to
give their support to you.
The convention will not meet till
August which will give you plenty
time to see t'everybody.''
Yours truly,
J. w. MONTGOMERY.

The Railroad.

All but about 30 miles of the telegraph
line Of the ", S. &. p. railroad from

will be covered within a short time.

plats made for depots along the road
from tho Ouachita to Red river, which
will be submitted to Col. Scott, when

Were all thy earthly joys.

We cannot wish our precious back
To this sad world again.

That she has ceased to be,
One ofthe group around he hearth,
Sharing thy SORROW or thy mirth?
Is dear Estelle 1ienceforth free
From all concerned with the things of
Done with its sorrow, and toll, and strife?
Oh, has she gonc to rest forever!
AS we think, witt, tears and signs,
This she was fond of--this shc wore,
But she never shall need them any more
For she has gone to heaven to rest.
Her little hands shall mover more
Turn tho storicd pages over,
Never more her lips repeat,
Songs of theirs, however sweet.
Friends, but yesterday tho bells,
Rang for thee their loud farewells
And to-day they toll for thee
Lying dead beyond the sea,
Lying dead among thy flowers
Where with angels bright and fair
That has borne thee up the stairs,
On their bright and snowy wings.

Something Tangible--Ice Factory
Assured.

Something Tangible--Ice Factory
Assured.
Capt. NJ. l.. Dedman has shown us
the plan for an ice factory to be built
on the vacant lot just below the ferry
landing. The lot has been purchased
and paid for, the price being $1,000.
The Captain exhibited also for our in
spection a paid-up draft for $25Oo
drawn in part payment of the ice ma
chine. 1t is expected by the proprie-
tors, Dedman & Co., that the factory
will be in readiness by the 1st of jan
uary, and that 1t will turn out 10000
lbs. OF ice per day. The building will
have river front of 25 feet by 70 feet
in length, and will be substantially
constructed. The whole cost of the en-
terprise will amount to about $4,000,
and we have the pleasure of believing
that this enterprise will not prove a
failure.

Change Of POStmaSterS.

Mr.. Julius Ennemoser, late deputy
clerk of the Z. S. District Court, has
been appointed and confirmed as post
master, rice r.. Ray, Jr., removed.
We suppose Mr.. Ennemoser will take
charge of the Office so soon as his bond
has been accepted aud commission is
sued, which will probably not be be-
fore the expiration Of ten days. No
cause that we are aware of was assign
cd for the removal OF Mr.. Ray, who
has held the Office over seven years, a
pretty long tenure of office under Re-
moser is we'll qualified for post-ma ster
