Philadelphia Times
The New York girl, when she bathes at
all, attitudinizes with half her slightly
clad person out of water, looking for all
the world like merry mermaid.
The Baltimore beauty plunges boldly
In and is generally seen head under wat
er with symmetrical incsrnadine hosiery
waving high above the waters blue.
The New Jersey girl is timid and usual
ly requires a pair of stout arms to hold
her. If there is no gallant on hand to
toss her through the breakers she hugs
the rope.
The nice Presbyterian girls at Spring
Lake like to have somebody FLOAT" them
and held up by the bathing master or
some stout, middle-aged deacon, will lie
rigidly on top of the waves, with their
little noses and toes out of water for
quarter of an hour.
The Virginia girls at Old Point and
Cape May swim and tumble like dolphins,
and love to swim out to the life boat,
and, clambering into it, take long dive,
coming up close to shore.
The fashionable Philadelphia girl is
very particular to have somebody mice"
go IN with her, and is usually so exclu-
slve that she wont even battle in the
same ocean with anyone not of her set.
The Boston belle prefers to take her
additions in private, but her favorite
wrinkle at Narragansett is to lie at the
edge of the surf, and when it vets her on
one side then roll over and get vet on
the other.
French maids at the seaside hotels as

Yuba's New Hospital.

Yuba county is to have new hospital
to be erected in NJ rysville, the Board of
Supervisors having adopted the plans of
VIM. H. Hamilton, architect of this city,
as being superior in design and ventilation.
1t is of the pavilion form, with executive
or main building two stories high. On the
first floor is the parlor, library, Office, acct
dent room and dispensary; on the second
floor are chambers for the officers. In the
rear, and separated from it by broad cor
ridor, is the culinary, or bath building, in
which is the general dining-room, pantry,
kitchen, laundry, ironing and store-room.
On each side radiating from center, are
the ward buildings, fronting on cir
conference, with rear of main build
ing, and the corridors extending to
them. The front parts are two stories
in hight. On the first floor is the nurses
room, with glass end opening in to wards,
also a large room containing the water
closets, urinals and sinks; adjoining are
the bath and wash rooms, small kitchen,
trunk and linen room; in the rear, reached
by broad hall extending from the corri-
dor, is the ward, rectangular room with
large windows on each side. The end is
octagonal, inclosed with glass, and divided
from main room by sliding doors, thus
forming a conservatory for sun baths. On
the second floor are private chambers for
special cases. The ward on the right is in
tended for males and on the left for females
each of which are independent in them
selves, and can be shut off from the main
structure if at any time a contagious case
might be discovered in them, thus making
a most perfect and complete structure at a
comparatively small cost.

GLADsToNE's DEFEAT.

The country of the English has said
"no' to Mr.. Gladstone's home-rule
scheme, and he goes back to the Commons
with majority OF l06, instead of 6,
against him. No more emphatic protest
was ever entered at a popular election
against an English Minister. 1t means
defeat for the man, but the democratic
principle for which he stands can suffer no
defeat, though its triumph is for time
postponed. But the issue was narrowed to
the one question of home rule for Ireland
the Liberal party was not assailed as a
party. But now that it is certain he is de-
feated the question arises, "Will he re-
sign?' He must assemble Parliament in
August but he will in all probability not
occupy position in it that will subject
him to inquiry as the sponsor of
the Government. The Unionists $50
called, the Conservatives, and the whole
opposition to Mr. Gladstone must be given
an opportunity to experiment. They &C.
cupy, as victors, an unenyiable position
They will be looked to for Irish measures
and that they can present any that will
pacify the country is improbable. In fact,
the Conservatives will be most uncomfort-
ably put in a corner, for their strength
must remain dependent, very largely, upon
the Liberals who deserted Gladstone in his
hour of need. They are bound to the
Conservatives for one purpose only, and
that by an indeterminate sort of bond
In fact the lot of the Tories is "not 4
happy one" they have undertaken he
roic task. and we do not believe are equal
to it. The Gladstonites and Parnellites
are strong enough still to make them fear
the slightest detection of the dissentient
Liberals who may repent their going
astray at any moment. So close will be
the division on other questions than home
rule, that no one can without unbecoming
assurance speculate on what may happen
when there shall have been formed a new
Ministry. 1t is case which in America
would be described by politicians as very
much mixed"

SENATOR STANroRD's REsIGNATIoy.-The
San Francisco Chronicle of yesterday has
the following dispatch concerning the ru-
NOR that Senator Stanford intends to re-
sign:
Senator Stanford is in robust health.
Throughout the whole winter and spring
and thus far in the summer he has been in
perfect condition. Notwithstanding this
good fortune. Philadelphia newspaper has
announced that he has been stricken down
with apoplexy, and that on account Of his
shattered health he would retire from the
Senate at the end Of the present term. Com
menting upon this item, Senator Stanford
said to-Id:a:.s that he did not think that he
would be overcome by apoplexy, as he has
no tendencies in that way. The report that
be had lost his health and would resign his
seat in the Senate brought out the first di-
rect denial that he intended to resign. Dur
ing the early months of the session, while
the life in the Senate was yet strange to
him, be said on more than one occasion
that he would probably retire if the next
California Legislature was Republican, but
to-day be said positively that he would not
resign at all. Eight mont hs in active sevr-
ice and in daily contact with his associ-
ates has made him at home in the Senate,
and the first feeling that he would like to
retire has disappeared.

The indications all point TO a healthy
business revival having set in. In this
State the evidences in this direction are
positive. Dun & Co.'S semi-annual report

ter Of 1886, compared TO the showing of
the same period in 1885. In the second

faiiares in 1885 being 2,346, while in 1886
they fell to ], 953--an improvement Of l62

1885, and s4o,1s7, coo in 1884. The per
centage of decrease from 1885 is thus seen
to be 1916. Whenever the business of the
country in a single year cuts down its
liabilities by more than a third, it is
unerring testimony of stability and in
creasing confidence. The liabilities for the
last three months of the first half year of
1856 were $40, 572, 600 against SIS, 60i 600
for the same period in 1885, and sS4, 204,-
600 for the like time in 1884 Not since
1881 have the liabilities of the business of
the country been so light. The shortage
in failures, decline in liabilities, renewal
of investments, crop conditions and gen
eral commercial activity lead Dun & Co.
10 forecast a prosperous fall season, and to
expect even better winter season. These
competent statisticians say:
The very marked decrease in the number of
failures indicates that the trade of the country
is in a state of surprising prosperity, when we
consider the strain which the commercial body
polite has been called upon to undergo from
the loss of confidence incident TO the widely ex-
tended lHDOr troubles Oh the laSL lew months.
Following season of depression and absence OF
profit. the adverse conditions encountered dur
ing the half year might have resulted most dis
astrously, but fortunately there was 9 condition
of preparedness SIS for even an almost total cessa-
ton of business in large areas of country ard
the half year has closed with disasters far less
serious, and far less numerous than might have
been anticipated In some respects the six
months under review have been fruitful of good
results The conflict between labor and capital
which seemed ct all times impending. and
which, it was feared. would in the end result
ruinously for both interests, has been In meas
ure decided. The result is that a serious doubt
has been weighed and measured, and the extent
of an evil heretofore unknown. pretty well as
certained. There is therefore greater
disposition to extend business operations in the
full knowledge of the last six months than at
any time for some years past. There is a sense
of relief in the minds of merchants bankers
and capitalists arising more or less out of the
events of the past six months, in the belief that
the worst that could be expected from the I'M
favorable conditions has occurred, and, further

THE pAN-ELEcTRrC INVESTIGATION

The more the matter is examined, and
the more the reports of the committee are
read, the clearer it becomes that the coat
of whitewash given in the Pan-Electric
investigation to prominent politicians of
the Administration at Washington is
transparent and conceals nothing of the
fact that official improperly approached
close 10 something much graver. 1t is
made clear by the testimony reported, and
even by the text of the reports themselves
it appears that the Pan Electric Telephone
Company was seeking to break down a
competitor, and to that end was permitted
to use the name Of gentleman now at the
head of Government department, who
held 100000 of stock in the company,
which acquisition came to him without
cost. \ suit was brought to annul a rival
patent, but III granting the right to bring
the action in the name of the Government.
the Attorney General did not act, but the
Solicitor did The former did not
tell the latter that he had any interest
in the stock of the company moving to an
null the Bell patent. The saving matter
in the whole scandal is, that the scheme to
clean up some millions of dollars did not
get fairly ripe, and the whole thing came
to light before any one was able to name
his dividends.
