two attendants begin their labors,
one at the feet and the other at the
head, and they use a sort of clay,
called pilo, which raises a thick
white lather which sometimes grows
several inches thick. The attend
ants use nothing but this soapy clay
and their hands to cleanse their
subjects with, aud they rub and
knead and punch until it seems
they would reduce the flesh to a
pulp, all the while leaving this
lather to accumulate until the
bather looks like q SNOWFALL. An
other kind Of soap is used for the
hair, and another again for the face,
but the latter lie always lett to
gather thick as the worker rubs and
tolls, the perspiration rolling in
streams down her gllstening body,
Sometimes these attendants are
white, sometimes black, and some oil
the ladies of the harem are as black
as any negro in our own country
and it is quite common thing fol
man to make wife of his Atys
sinian slave. These inkish ladies
wear the Turkish veil as religiously
as do the white wives, and indeed
the color line is not drawn closely
at all in the Orient.
The Turkish bath is lighted from
the roof and through stained glass
and the colored light falls upon the
forms laid out beneath With beauti
full effect. A large fountain with 8
deep basin stands in the middle OF
this room aud numberless little
pipes throw off sprays of perfumed
water above the slabs on which the
ladies lay like animated snow flakes
kicking and squealing when SOAP
! gets mo their eyes or mouths, Oh
when the attendants tickle them
une xpectedly. A little silver basin
stands at hand and after the ladies
have soaked in soap long enough
they take quite hot water, entirely
too hot for anybody but a Turkish
woman who is used to it, and pour
1T gently over them, not dashin 9
the water, but softly emptying it,
so that it soon washes off all the
lather, leaving the flesh rosy and
fresh. The pouring OF water is
continued sometimes half an hour,
and rubbing, rolling and kneading
of the body, after which the lady is
at liberty to plunge into the basin
if she wishes among the other
laughing and frolicking women,
black and white mingling indis-
criminately.

Tennessee Democracy.

The newspapers have already
commenced to agitate the question
as TO who will be the democratic
nominee next year. With g
very few exceptions the almost
unanimous opinion is that Governor
Taylor will be his own successor
The usage and custom of the party
has been to renominate, and there is
certainly no good reason why the
time honored tradition should be
broken in this case. True it is
that considerable opposition was
manifested toward Governor Tay-
lor last winter by those who mis-
construed his message to the legis-
lature into an endorsement of the
Blair bill. Some even went so far
as to charge him with having gone
back on the democratic party. But
with cooling time and proper I'M
Outstanding and appreciation OF
what the message really did mean
nearly all opposition has died out.
And why would Bob Taylor go back
on the democratic partyf The bet
ter part Of his life has been spent in
the service of democracy, and in the
service of it's principles he has
never for one moment faltered or
tagged. He has been tried by fire
and has come forth without even
the smell of radicalism on his gar
ments. Many times he has heard
the summons Robert, cone to judg
ment," but the only accusations his
enemies have required him to an
swer were for his unainching dem
ocracy. And democrats who know
of him and who have heard his
voice In every campaign for the past
ten years have no idea of setti n Q
him aside next year. Yes, Bob
Taylor will be renominated and re-
elected, and 1888 will be a glorious
year for democratic harmony and
democratic victory.-Johnson City

Beauty in the Bath.

Aga-Ham nam, bath frequented
by many ladies of the highest posi-
ton, not because they have DC
baths of their own, but because
they are sure to meet their friends
there without restriction and have
good time. 1t has also ALWAYS
been great place for mothers to
take their manageable daughters
and other mothers to go to choose a
bride for their sons, and, as wives
are not chosen for their mental but
physical beauties alone, certainly
this is the place to choose, where
beauty is quite unadorned, and
therefore of this bath we will
speak.
The ladies arrive, each one at
tended by her own personal ser
want. and another who bears a very
substantial lunch basket and 3
handsome gold bordered bathing
wrap. The eunuchs remain outside
or go away and come back at the
hour the bath is ended, as it occu
pies several hours. First the Ia

and receive a Grape sheet, which
they drape about them while they
sit the regulation length OF time in
the first room. During this time
they chat with each other, though
not very Familiarity, and they keep
up the pretense of the drapery until
they reach and pass the next room.
after which the sheet and modestv

abundant hair streaming loose and
