A writer in the Boston journal Of
;. Chemistry contributes an interesting
article on s.air-baths.'' He holds that
q large proportion of invalidsand semi
inval1ds do not bear well the application
Of either cold or tepid water to the body.
only the strong and the robust in cold
climates can endure the icy streams OF
the shower-bath. The sponge bath, even,
saps the vitality Of many to a fatal ex-
tent, and feeble persons are rarely in
any degree benefited by its use. The
tepid bath, as a curative means, con-
stantly followed, weakens rather than
strengthens, and, in short, he claims
that bathing, beyond the needs of per-
feet cIeanliness,is not to berecommended
to any one. The .'douching' and
s..Wet-sheet'' hygienic institutions, he
saws, have had their day. The sssteam
ing and sWeating'' Turkish bath has
been popular, but its evils have been SO
frequently demonstrated that it is
rapidly falling into disnse, This is the
way, the writer states, the highest good
may be obtained from the "air.bath, -
a curative agent that comes without
money and without price to the feeble
and physically impoverished. The
morning is the time for the air-bath, and
all that IS required is a hair-cloth mitten
and moderately cool room. When

The Prospects in New York.

with the ticket. Only one Republican
is heard of who is opposed TO the ticket,

York is Republican State ali the time
when Republicans are united and work
for the success Of the ticket. Why
then, asks the Tribune, are we OF sure

The CiviI Rights Decisaoa. :.

The decision of the Supreme Court o

not effect the standing or present condi
tion of the colored people, as it ha,
practically been dead letter law al
most ever since it was placed upon thu
statute books.
There was no decision by the Court
against the need oflegislation to enforce
the rights Of colored people, but tht
ground was taken that it was a
State question and the rights of colored
people should be enforced before tn.
State Courts.
Ground was taken that the act wa.
intended to restrain or check un-
friendly legislation rather than to en-
force it. When the law was passed
there was urgent need for it, a. preju.
dice was stronger against the colored
people than it now is. The time has
come at last when this prejudice has
worn away, and colored people are not
looked upon with the same degree OF
repugnance as formerly. Colored peo-
pie themselves have become more in.
dependent and able to support them.

entirely broken down, and it requires
something more now for evidence that a
colored man is Republican than the
color of his skin. In this day when the
votes of the colored men are courted
and sought after by all political parties,
it is not likely there will be any adverse
legislation to their interests in the
