Meeting Of Grange No. II.

MEssRs. EDlToRs Anderson Grange No.
II held its regular monthly meeting On last
Friday, at the residence Of Mr. James A.
Drake, In Martin Township. There were
present about twenty gentlemen, q dozen
ladies' and number of children. and u
most enjoyable day it proved to all present.
The proceedings of the Grange were of
very interesting character, consisting Of
reports upon the condition of the crops,
which developed the fact that the crops of
the County were very promising, having
been well worked, but now needing rain.
The small grain crops were reported to
have been harvested in good condition, and
the yield, although not equal to last year,
was o fair average.
The questions discussed were ensilage
and root crops. Hon. B. F. Crayton led off
on the former, and w. w. Humphreys on
the latter, and the members generally par
ticipated in the discussion. which was ex-
haustive and very interesting.
Pending the discussion the Grange was
"csl!ed from labor TO refreshment," and
under the escor; Of our hospitable host
were let into the large dining room in
groops of twelve, and seated around tables
loaded down with good things, which in
variety and preparation, was simply grand,
and bore emphatic testimony to the pre-
eminent abilities of our hostess as house,
keaner, and the large-hearted hospitality Of
both host and hostess. After dinner the
deliberations were continued for a time,
after which stroll over the farm Of Mr..
Drake was made by portion of the mem-
bers Of the Grange. His crops, although
suffering for rain, were in good condition.
and his farm had the appearance more Of
well cultivated garden than that of o
farm. He is recognized as among the fore
most and most practicable and progressive
farmers of the County. He had some eight
or ten grape vines that wero q curiosity.
They were trained on frames, and were la
den with fruit.
1t was day long to be remembered, and
marks an era in the history OF Grange No.

The Grange accepted the invitation Of
Col. Jesse P. McGee to hold its next meet
ing at his residence, on the first Friday in
August next
The subjects for discussion at the next
meeting are grapeculture and wine making.

The United States consul at Smyrna has
reported to the national board of health, un-
der date of July 8, that the quarantine estdb-
lshed in Smyrna against all steamers and
vessels arriving from the ports of Egypt has
been rigidly maintained, and that there is
much excitement, amounting almost to u
panic, over the reports of the ravages of the
cholera in Egypt, and he adds not without
cause, for should this scourge once get a foot
hold, SO utter is the lack of sanitary precau-
tions within the city limits, so poor the
drainage, sewerage, &C., and so foul the con-
ditiOn of the streets, it would, in all proba-
bility sweep away half the inhabitants COM
PEELED to remain exposed to it, while every
one able to do so would seek safety by fight

Public Baths.

Modern civilization appears to great disad-
vantage in comparison with the ancient in
the matter of free baths for the people. The
ancients were frequent bathers. They bathed
after journey, after a fight, or q race; aud
the usual bath was usually hot water first
and then cold. Their custom was to close
the pores of tho skin, after bathing, with olive
oil. They passed SO much time in the water
that they considered it absolutely disgraceful
for a man not to be able to swim. They were
not afraid of sharks. There is no mention
which we have seen in ancient history of a
man being attacked by shark unless the
kind. 1t was certainly not whale, as King
Jamess translation puts it, yet sharks have al
ways abounded in the Mediterranean and
adjacent waters Among American cities
New York has taken the lead in providing
free baths for the people.
When fully equipped with water facilities
there should be " sufficient number of baths
within the city to furnish facilities for the
whole population. 1t Is not necessary to point
out the value of baths in health and comfort,
and especially the benefit they would be to
the poorer classes. The surplus of the water
which remains after supplying the public
buildings and private dwellings of tho city
might be utilized for baths. But ifthis should
be impracticable, bathing places could easily
be made in the Potomac and Anacostia rivers
which would accommodate the public.

Special DisDdtch.

ANNAPOLIS, July 23.-There is an active
fight going on in this county among demo-
cratic politicians over the loaves and fishes to
be given out by the county convention next
week. Both wings of the party are energetic
ally at work, and the principal fight is over
the senatorship. The candidates are Senator
Wells and ex-senator M. Bannon. Both have
their ardent supporters, and the contest is
carried on with such marked bitterness be-
tween the two aspirants that leads many to
suspect that whichever may be nominated by
the convention the defeated candidates
friends will refuse to "enthuse" over their
caucus opponent on election day. In the
meantime the republicans are smlingly
awaiting results of the primaries, comforted
by the possible assurance of redeeming the
county this fall.

death was announced in to-day's REPUBLI-

An AbRttoir.

The REPUBLICAN has heretofore pointed
reliable plan for the inspection of food than
the one now in existence. A great deal of
what was there suggested can beaccomplished be
by the establishment of an abattoir, or gen.
eral slaughter house for the district and city.
The advantage to be gained by the estab-
lishment of an abattoir is that, Instead of
west of Washington, where they are Sc
riously interfering with the march of i'm
provcment in that direction, they will be
brought together into one large establishment
in some locality TO be designated by the
proper authority. Obviously the best place
for this location is on the south side Of the
animals to be driven to some point between
the Long bridge and Four-milo run as to what
is now known as Drover's Rest, and mu ch
easier to get them there if they are brought
by railway. Water, which Is necessary for
cleansing and for drinking purposes for
stock, can be brought there from the canal in
Pasture is accessible at short distances, and corn
and hay can be collected by water transporta-
tion. This situation has the advantage of
being too remote for the ollal or efluvia to bo
offensive to residents of tho city. The refuse
might be drained into the river but this, We
think, would not be advisable. 1t would be
convert it into iertilzng material. This
movement may prove Objectionable to the
butchers. We do not think, however, that
opposition or resistance on the part of the
butchers to such measure would be wise. 1t
is Il movement in the interest of "the
greatest good to the greatest number" Those
ter houses would be benefited by the inovita-
BILE rise in the price of real estate which
would inevitably follow the removal Of the
slaughter houses. They might retain this
property and share in the general prosperity,
and it will not be difficult for them to find
desirable properties in the vicinity of the
proposed abattor. If it should be located
in the place suggested, there may be found
on Arlington heights or elsewhere in Fairfax
county very desirable locations for them
If the abattoir should be located on the
left bank of the river, the best location for
the butchers would be on the hills command
ing the Eastern branch or Anacostia river.
The first named locality strikes us as the best
for the butchers, but should the commissions
ers of the district decide on the establishment
of the abattoir, they would be compelled to
assign locations for the butchers on the Mary
land side. This is subject which ought to
besyell considered by the commissioners, the
butchers, and the public generally.
