Terhaps no phrase, Jo tilQ Eiish iansrnajjo Im been worn mare threadbare than tUo trite old Baying that "Cleanliness Is next to pod 11 nesB." As a subject for pulpit eloquence, it has nerved when scriptural texts of all meanings have failed, and as a motto for laundries and laundresses it ranks "A Mo. 1." We have not M yet met a battling establishment wbero the sentence has been conspicuously displayed, but just here we would suggest that our city fathers bavo it emblazoned la letters of jrold upon the new public bathing-houses that are already com pleted and upon t hose that are yet to be. After haviittr. read so much about the cele brated institutions yclept public baths, we de termined to obtain an optical demonstration of tbelr availability and success, aud. accordingly yceteriay we paid a visit to the one at Otis street wharf for said purpose. We had been ted to Velieve that the patrons of this, to ns, novel pfftblifhtrient wcro comiwised principally of the ileolzens of the immediate neighborhood in which it is situated. Imagluo onr surprlsu. bowever, when we discovered among the crowd assembled the faces of bootblacks and news toys whom we have met la places. as various as the occasions have boon frequent. Accosting one of the venders of knowledge, who is fami liarly known amongst his comrades as "Keddy," we entered into a conversation, the principal features of which wo append: Q. Well, lteddy, what do you think of the new wrinkle? A. Ob! it's good enough for women. j. Why don't they allow you chaps to "in dulge?" A. Oh, yes, but we're not takln' any! Why not? A. 'Cause wc don't swim one foot on bottom, (j. Why, what voa mean by thai? A. The darned place ain't deep enough to float a, "cadile." Q. Then you don't intend to become a regular patron? With an eye to business our talkative friend quickly replied, "io; can't you get ns a pass for the island?" Finding that Keddy was getting things down to fine points, we answered that we had no influ ence with the owners of the oceau steamers John and Tom Smith, and, to avoid any further -urgestions, moved off. Tbe interview evidently warmed Reddy np, eince the next gliuapfC we caught of him was his diving off a pier near by into the clear, cooling waves of ye noble Delaware. Turning, we took a calm survey of the scene before us. The bonr was one of those allotted to members of the male sex, many of whom had takcu ad vantage thereof. The numerous closets, or rather shambles, that line tbe four sides of the frame structure were all tilled with clothlug, the owners of which were fUsporting in tbe pool. And now a word as to mid pool. One viewing the establishment from the outside would suppose that the interior was none other than capacious. But, as in many other instances, appearances prove deceptive. The baths have been badly constructed, yet we are thankful for them such as they are, and tiope that present mistakes may lead to future successful improvements. The principal por tion of the interior space has been taken up with the closets named above. So far as male bipeds are concerned, they are almost useless, since pegs or nails would answer every purpose. Nevertheless, for females they are very ser viceable. The mistake, we think, has been in not building separate bath-houses for the oppo site sex. Our city fathers, however, surmount our argument by the fact that these institu tlons are but mere experiments, and that the amount of money appropriated was entirely too email to provide for separate houses for the separate sexes. But we are digressing, and must return to our text. In the pool, which was but four fact deep, we noticed about a dozen adults and as many more minors. To the former the luxury of a five minutes' wash seemed the ucme of terrestrial delights, and their reappearance after their ablution showed that tbe douse was as beneficial as it was enjoyable. Finding ourselves rudely jostled, we turned, and on our right discovered a big, brawny coal-heaver, but lately arrived from the Richmond whisky district. The Hibernian had evidently been tasting of the "crayther," since his legs were anything but parallel and bis articulation somewuat indis tinct. Bospectlng that a rich scene would fol- Jow, we stepped a pace or two off and quietly awaited developments. Approaching the cde of the pool, tbe Milesian was about tumbling in when the oflicer in ebame grasped nim by the fthoulder and commenced treating him to a first- class temperance lecture. Willi tbe tact natural to his countrymen, the exile of Erin replied, "So yer a could wather man, are ye?" "Yes," waB the answer. "Will, thin, fy the dlvil do yez not lit me go in?" "Because you're intoxicated." 'Fhat'8 that? is it drunk ye mane? Be the howl desthroyer of snakes, St. Patrick by name, 1 was niver more soucua my uiu. "Oh. well: von had better co:ne around aaln." "Not a bit of it. It's clane 1 want to bo, and it's a dnck I'll have. Sure, ye talk about could water, but when a man wants it you forbid him taking it. wen: out yere a nypourite, Finding that ho had met a tough customer, the keeper concluded to Jet him nave a bath and get rid of him. Accordingly, the Milesian divested himself of bis corduroys and check shirt, and plunged in. With earnest gaze we watched the ilect. Feader, it was instanta' neous! Around about for a space of tour feet the water became darkened in hue, and the ac cumulated exudations of months and the almost solidified dust of the coal wharves being washed from the pores made of tbe laborer almost a new man. At this juncture our at teu tion was attracted to a party of four or D ve bovs who appeared to be deeply engaged in ' conversing upon some Important sub ject. Supposing that it was "Prus sia," we drew near, when our ur were saluted with the following: "Dutcby, this ain't a patch to Smithy's, is it?" ' JJutcny No. No. 1 Let's go over. Dutchy I ain't got no ducats. No. 1 l-ct's iilav it. A little inquiry disclosed the fact that "play ing it" meant their going to the street, setting tip a howl over lost money, and closing up tbe eves of euaccptiblo humanitarians. Suddenly we heard a splashing, and directing our atten tion to tbe end ot tbe pool, we saw our leiuc friend floundering about like a porpoise. The cause we soon ascertained; the water and the whisky did not mix, and, losing his equilibrium, onr character made a narrow escape from drowning. Turning, we asked tbe keeper if he . wag well patronized, when lie answered, "xes, the crowd keeps pouring la and out tbe whole time; and if we had .fifty bouses, i believe they woaia e au nuea "Do you admit many bovs ?" "No, the boys take to the docks and to the isiana. "Have yon many female visitors ?" "Well, I am not in charge there; we have a , 'woman for women folks, but she has not much to do." "Who are your principal customers ?" "Well, mostly all hard-working men." Tw thpv Mm to cniov anv benefit?" "Oh, yes: one old man has told me that it was a perfect eoasenu.

"Yonr dooI must eet dirty very nulcklv ?" "Oh no I the water hi continually running in and out." Bidding our friend good day, we left the scene, Hardly had we proceeded a square from the dock when we met the lads named above stowed awav behind a pile of lumber, chuckling over the fact of tbelr having "beat an old gentleman out of twenty-live cents, fleflecting upon the sinfulness of youti, wo left tbe scene, mentally praying that the lads might yet be reclaimed from their ways of wJufcxdncBB. i rOUTICAL.

The troubles arising In tbese instances are familiar to our readers, and for a time it seemed probable a split ticket would be run la each case at the coming October election. How ever, tbe lriends of all parties succeeded in get ting the candidates to submit their claims to the City Executive committee, wnose decision should be final. Testimony was then taken at the rooms of the Union Club. No. 1105 Cnesnut street. In the City Commissioner contest there was a majo rity and a minority report the former declaring James N.

Tbe committee thus constituted will immedi ately proceed with tbelr labors, and report their decu-ion to the Central Committee. In tbe First Legislative district contest Joseph Edmiston protested against awarding the cer tificate to Kamuel inoinpson. Of tbe sub-com- niittce appointed to take the testimony, tne majority reported in favor ot reassembling the convention, and tbe minority in tavor of Mr. Thompson. The majority report was adopted, and accordingly a notification has been served tbat the delegates in this convention will recon vene at Sixth and Dickerson streets on the 11th day of August, for the purpose of nominating a candidate to represent the district at Ilarrisburg, and in order to avoid any difficulty In the organization of that convention, a subcom mittee of the Central Committee has been ap pointed to take charge of tho preliminary busi ness. The Removal or the Walls at the Re- cekt Fire on Race 8theet. Yesterday con siderable correspondence took place between tbe proprietors of tbe Pennsylvania Sugar Re finery, at Crown and Race streets, recently de stroy ed by fire, and the Chief of Police, relative to tbe removal ot tne Insecure walls of tbe ruins. Tbese are considered sufficiently dangerous to prevent tbe passage of the Race street cars or other travel on the street. 1 he Chief early called the attention of the firm to tho insecure condition of the building ana tne necessity ior closing tne street, mucu to the iucouveulence ef the public. In reply to this tbe firm stated that it was the intention of tbe Building Inspectors to visit tbe spot at 3 o'clock, this aueruoon, until which time u would be impossible to take any action in the matter on account of tbe insurauce on the buildings. A note from tbe Cbiet to tne Insurance agent having charge of the business of the firm pro duced a reply which declined all responsibility in tne mailer. Tbe Chief thereupon took npon himself the responsibility of removing the walls on his owu autborlty, and gave notice that work would be begun ttiis morning, unless some action was taken by tbe firm by 5 o'clock yesterday after noon. Tho Building Inspectors cannot proceed without tne legal nve days notice. Up to V4 o clock tnis morning tne work ot demolition had not begun, though the Chief and a force of laborers were on tbe ground. It is believed that as the matter bas been delayed tl.l. lMfit f mill ,i n rini.ttiiii llttla l,ni,A. nntil lUlO U1J, lb TT l.A ISO UVIUTU UbblQ lUUfUl, UUkll after the Inspectors' vicot this afternoon. Meau- wnue tne street is still closed, as it snouia be, and the walls remain standing. - A solution of the difficulty by which tbe insurance will not be endangered will probably be reached before tbe Cbief enforces his order. The 11 re proofs have not yet been removed from the rums, but tbe books ana papers are undoubtedly uniu- Iured. The Camplell family, who were rendered houseless by tbe falling of the northern wall during the fire, are beiug cared for by members of the Neptune Hose company ana otner cnari tabie persons.
