AN ORIENTAL ABLITTION-THB TURK
ISH BATH.
An article in the March number of the Corn
hill Magazine describes the baths of Turkey.
We extract the. following, description of the
sensations of a, bather : .
I
On entering the bath, the first apartment
gonsists of a spacious hail, or rotunda, the
central summit of, which is open, aduaiiting a
gentle but free circulation of air, and: is in form
not unlike the cupola of St. Stephen's, Wal
brook. Running round by the wall is a raised
dais or platform, covered with a carpet, and
divided into compartments, one of which is
appropriated to each visitor. In the centre of
the building is a fountain, which plays refresh
ingly into a marble basin, raised on a pedestal
of moony. On a couch, on the platform above
mentioned, you undress ; your clothing is tied
up in a napkin, and you are attired in three
scarfs of towelling, of a peculiar fabric,Warm
and rough, but yet. soft and gaily bordered with
blue or red raw silk ; ;one of these, the subli
gar or eubligaculum' of the itomans, girds the
loins ;, another As ',thrown over the shoulder,
and the last is twisted up, into a turban for the
head. Throughout this operation, every care
is taken to .preserve decorum ;, and with a

BEGINNING OF THE BATH.
"The swinging doors givp access to a narrow'
panne, - Where the beat strikes upon the fariri,
and 'announces very sensibly that the bath has
begun. This passage makes a 'sudden •tiurn'at
a right , angle, and the, heat then increases
though the temperature is still not high, and
the mist of vapor is very slight, if at all percep
tible.' You now enter the "'tepideitamber,qhe
tepidaiiuni ' of' the ancients. Soinetitoriri the
passage' above alluded to, is dispensed :with,
rind - the' fejiidiititins 'itself forms the 'junction
'between thetwo halls. In' the •latter case it is
oblong in form, and has a marble platform on
'each side, raised about a foot and a hilt above
the central part ; this, serving as a passage, is
of course on the same level as the two ehambers
which it connects; but whether as-a passage,
or as a hall in it self, , itis all paved with marble.
The mattress and. cushion which 'are carried
beforri_yon are'laid upon the dais and against
the wall; the. paraphernalia of . other guests
beintsiMilarly disposed all round. 'Coffee and
, pipes, are now brought. In this apartnAnt,
44044 lightedirday..sometimes quite
Aided, a flickering lamp taveals;..riacertataly
the nature of the place and of its occupants.—
Tbe perspiration gently starts from its myriad
ducts, while the solemn murky air tranquilizes
the spirit, and• seems 'to 'exclude with 41„ lull of
calmness thoughts of the fretful world. It is
here that a. stranger in town or village first
mingles with the inhabitants, and glides itrt- 7
perceptibly, and divested of the adventitious
aide of dress arid attendance,. into the niche
which his social status qualifies him to' occupy.
A gentle foretaste of shampooing is given, in
this.atiarfmrint ; an 'attendant chafes the. feet,
or lightly taps the neck and the limbs to start
the perspiration. When , Whits fully broken
out * you are ready for the hot chamber (calda
rium or laconicum) which , you now enter."
TJI HOT CHAMBER
"This is somewhat similar in form to the first
hill, and is'gererally covered in with a,dome,
the light being adinitted through loop holes
filled with stained glass. Early in the morning
the place is-quite clear and the- atmosphere is
dry, bni, as thewashing takes place here it be
comes at a later hour of the day filled with
Vapor ; ; this has led.many to imagine that the,
Turkish bail, is, like ;the Itussian, essentially'
a vapor. bath ; which is not the case. The
Turkish• bath is in principle, and in fact, allot
air bath ; the vapor being
.almost an accident.
Here the towels are all removed, except that
which encircles the loins. Ablution is then
performed, to which tbe sounds of clanking bowls
and diopping water duly correspond. Through
the light grey mist the attendants and bathers
flit in a spectra . l manner, and ever, and anon
there arises a clapping, of the hands, which is
the bathman's, method of signalizing. . The'
process of shampooing which is here undergone
is most peculiar, and is that part of the bath
which of all others will be found least easy of
adoption into this country. It is ia liself an
art of no mean attainment, and proves, as has
been• well remarked, that animal magnetism
has been practised in the East for centuries,
and rendered so practically manageable as to
be fairly designated the handmaiden of health.
"Mr.. IJrquhart's description of the perfor
mance, as it is given in his work, the 'Pillars
of Elereules,' is as follows Under the dome
there is an extensive platform of marble slabs;
on this you get up ; the cloths are taken from
your head and shoulders ; one is spread for you
to lie on, the other is rolled for your head ;
you lie down on your back; the tellak (two, if
the operation is properly performed) kneels at
your side, and berding over, grips and presses
your chest, arms, and legs, passing from part
to part like a bird shifting its place on a perch;
he brings his whole weight on you with a jerk,
follows the line of muscle with anatomical
thumb, draws the open hand strongly over the
surface, particularly round the shoulders,
turning you half up in so doing; stands with
his feet on your thighs, and on the chest, and
slips down the ribs, , then up again . three times;
and lastly, doubling your arms one after the
other on the chest, pushes with both hands
down, beginning at the elbow, and then putting
an arm under the back, and applying his chest
to your crossed elbows, rolls on you across till
you crack. You are now turned on your face,
and, in addition to the operation above de
scribed, he works his elbow round the edges of
your shoulder blades, and with the heel plies
the angle of your neck; he concludes by haul
ing the body half up by each arm successively,
while he stands with one foot on the opposite
thigh. You are then raised for a moment to a
sitting posture, and a contortion is given to the
Israeli of the back with the knee, and a jerk to
the neck by the two hands holding the temples.
"The reader must guard against the suppo
sition that all this cracking of the joints, and
supple members,' this kneading of the flesh, is
attended with discomfort- or pain. When' it is
skilfully performed, the sensation is even
pleasurable ; indeed this is signified by the
Arabic word mass, which means to 'handle
delicately.' "
TRU RUBBING.
"Next comes the washing, or rather the use
of the glove made of camel's or goat's hair.—
After remoistening the body, which you do for
yourself, with a cup given you for that puiPose,
you, in a sitting position, bend towards the
attendant, who bending offer you, rubs down
the back, commencing from the neck. The
loosened scarf skin peels off in little elongated
rolls, and if collected will form a ball as big as
a hyacinth root,. It was for the removal of this
dead cuticle that the strigil was anciently used ;
and how it has fallen 'into disuse would be a
curious &abject of research. Wemay infer from
an epigram of Martiars that it was otiginally
an Eastern implement, for he speaks of its
coming from Pergamus. Augustus borrowed
his wooden reclining couch, called' cfureta, from
Spain, and •Suetonius expres4ly says that the
word is Spanish. Many' think that the word
strigil is also Iberian '
but 'stringere, to graze
lightly; to pull or peel off, denotes its true de
rivation."
THE SOAPI.TO
"Following upon the glove comes the soaping
process. A bowl of water is brought frothed
with Cretan , soap, which is sometimes per
fumed, and the soft fibrous life of the palmAree
to xub the body with.. 'With this the body is
washed, boginning at,tbe head ; this operation
is-iepeated twice Then come the hot cloths,
in which you are wrapped,; and the final act
'of the bath isto dash' a Bowl of water over the
feet : a very important custom this, and one
which opens up a very singular subject otin
quiry, though we shall not at
. present touch
upon it." •
COOLING OFF
You now return to the cooling room, or
frigutarium. There you recline upon a couch
with a sense of ease and tranquility shiest
indescribable. The blood circulates freely,' the
chest dilates, the Tresh air comes charged with
vitality. The wretched find life tolerable, and
the agedeast off for :moment the burden of
years. Savary, describing the sensation, says,
It feels as if one was,just born, and began to
live for the first time. ' A lively sense of ex
istence - spreads 'aver
,pie whole bed, ; one
yields to the most pleasant imiginations, and
the mind is entertained with the most delight
ful reveries. The fancy ransacks all nature,
and finds in it.nothing but the gayest pictures,
and images of pure' delight. If life,' he rams
on,' philosophizing r after Locke, as was the
manner. of his countrymen in that dityLL‘ If
life, is but the succession of ideaS; the rapidity
with which the mentery then traces them, the
vigor With which the spirit then traverses
every would lead one to' suppose that, in
the two hours of unbroken' calm which follow
,the bath many' years hirie elapsed:" Every
one who has experience& the processes of the
real Turkish bath,, in their perfection, bear
witness to the same effect. The whole man
wakes, and yet 'hie, whole. man is in a. state of
repose. There is : la sense of reconditemnergy
coupled, with the, silent, serenity of absolute
rest. The grows electrical, and we find
for the first.time that breatbingds inspiration.
This feeling soon gives place to an eager appe
tite for exercise and labor • ti• most natural'
successien."

Numerous stories Of his wit, even wheel pros
trated by intemperance, are recorded: On one
occasion at a late hour, at night or - very early
hour in, the morning, after he had been dining
out at some aristocratic mansion, in what Byron
called "the West and worst end" of London, he
insisted on walking hoine, without any one 'to
acircuitous ramble,
help him. After long and
he reached Burton Crescent, near the New
Road, a, lace at least two miles from ' Saville
Row, Piccadilly, where he resided: He was
found with his arm around a lamp post, gazing
stolidly at vacancy, and still suffering from the
effects of too' Much wine. The person' who
recognized him exclaimed, "thidd heavens, Mr..
Sheridan, what are you doing,, here in Burton
Crescent, at this hour of the morning ?" Ma
king that effort to appear sober, whiCh usually
makes a man look like a dissipated owl of had
habits and indifferent morals. Sheridan 'an
swered, "You see, my friend Mr; Garrow lives
here,
,and want to . consult hini on some law
business, and as the Crescent is going round,
I am waiting until his house passes by, and
then I can easily pop into - it."
On another occasion, when Sheridan was so
helplessly overtaken by liquid temptation as to
have fallen in the gutter, in St. Martin's Lane,
he was picked up, and the watchman who per
formed that act of kindness asked his name and
where he would like to be taken to. Sheridan
contrived to say, "Only across the street to
Slaughter's coffee house. lam not often thus
—my name is Wilberforce." •
From bad health, and perhaps from moral
cunviction, Wilberforce was a temperance man
at that time and to his death, and to pass off
for Wilberforce, in a state of remarkable eleva
tion, was one of the bits of malicious fun in
which Sheridan delighted. •
For the. information of the curious we may
add that port wine was the favorite beverage of
Sheriden and Pitt. Sheridan said the port
I quickened the circulation and the fancy at the
same time, adding that he seldom made a
speech in Parliament without the stimulus of
two bottles. William Pitt, virtual ruler of
England from 1783 to his death in 1806, suf
fered greatly from hereditary gout, to' which
his father, Lord Chatham, was a victim for the
last twenty years of his life; but, though his
physician warned him that death was in' the
glass, . he indulged freely—at times even im
moderately—in pore.wine, of which, previous
to an important debate, he would swallow sev
eral bottles to relievitproself frem the languor
produced by extreme mental and bodily exer
tion. At length wine ceased to excite him
sufficiently, and he hail recourse to laudanum,
of which he sometimes took two hundred drops
at a time.
Pitt nearly lost his life, at one time, in a
drunken frolic. One night a toll bar-keeper,
on the road between Croydon and Wimbledon,
was aroused from his slumbers by the rapid
approach of three horsemen, who galloped
through, the gate being open, without pausing
to pay the toll. Having frequently been
choused, (to use the worthy's own words) by
persons playing the same bilking trick, and
several robberies having lately taken place in
that neighborhood, the gate keeper fired, off
hie blunderbuss at the horsemen, but without
' effect. Next day, when a servant called to pay
the toll, the man discovered that the equestrian
triumvirate consisted of William Pitt, Lord
Thurlow, and Harry Dundas—prime minister,
Lord Chancellor, and treasurer of the navy—
who had dined with Mr. Jenkinson. afterwards
Earl of Liverpool, at Croydon, and were re
turning, fully charged with wine, to Mr. Pitt's
house at Wimllledon.—The Wits and Beaux of

AN EXTRAORDINARY Swim—The-following
extraordinary story comes from Berne, under
date of March 5
An English gentleman, Captain L—, of
the British army; met his death here lastnight
in the most dreadful manner. Captain L—,
after supping With some friends, took a walk
through the city in company with dime oiler
Englishmen. As the bear pit lay in their way,
the party went, for pastime, to look at - the
bears. This pit was separated into two com
-partments, in one of which Was the he bear,
and in the other the female and several cubs.
While bending over the railings watching the
animals, Captain L---- overbalanced himself,
and fell into that part of the pit in which- the
old bear was confined, breaking his arm in the
fall. One hour elapsed before any assistance
was obtained and brought to the spot. Efforts
were then made to extricate the unfortunate
man from his perilous position by means of
hoisting him up with, ropes. It is remarkable
that up to this time the old bear, although the
most savage of the family, and therefore placed
in a separate compartment, had not attempted
to injure the young man. But this state of
thing was not to last long. At , the moment
when he was being hoisted , out of the pit, and
had reached half way up, the bear became
savage and tore him down into the' pit again.
A horrible struggle then ensued, width, after
nearly half an hour's duration, resulted : in
Captain L'abeing killed by the ferocious beast.
One of the party of Englishmen would have
jumped into the pit to his friend's aid had he
not been forcibly restrained by the bystanders.
Great indignation 18 expressed by the inhabi
tants of Berne that no aid came from the quar
ter whence it ought to bare been rendered, even
at the risk of life. A sentinel was posted at
about thirty paces from the pit, and I under
stand that a searching. investigation has been
instituted into this man'.; conduct.
SNOW STOWAIS AND COLD WEATHER IN MACH

Our record of snow storms in the month of

consecutive years, including the present month
to this date. In sixty-two of the years of this
long cycle, snow fell herein themonth of,Maroh.

snow of the season was'in the Muth of March.
Of the sixty-two years, snow fell in the first
ten days of the mouth in forty-three years ;
in the second ten days in thirty-nine years, and
in the remaining eleven days in twenty-four

In 1806 and the present year snow fell- on

In March, 1800, snow fell to. the depth, of

AN EXPLANATION WANTED.—How remarkable
it is that throughout all the .slave States, pro
found., quietness prevails among the negro"
population, The .whites in many places are
highly ezoited, forming military organizations
and otherwiee engaged in .all the "pdmp and
circumstance" of war ; bid the blacks ply, their
hoes as faithfully as ever,,in apparent peace and
contentment. Nowhere from all that broad do
main, comes even a lisp of trouble among these
patient, submissive creatures. This to the
Abolitionist must be very strange, and very
disheartening. For it had been predicted that
the slaves would sieze upon the first favoring
circumstance to rise in bloodi revolt; arid as
if to give the semblance of truth to these evil
surmisings,' the leading Republican sheet, of
this city (which is gaining a.wide notoriety for
its suppositious, correspondence,) published
letters ostensibly from slave States, filled with
alarming accounts of insurrections, bat which
proved.to be Withous foundation in fact. ' Thus
it appears that, so far as reliance was placed
upon demonstrations of rebellion as evidence
of the heinousness of the slave system, 'the
anti-slavery men of the North are' tilde:Tar
utterly counfounded in their ealculatiohs.—
Even direct instigation by such men as John
Brown, the martyr of Harper's- Ferry„,avalled
nothing for their cause. Perhaps at some
future day they may come to the conclusion
that their crusade a g ainst the institutions of
the South,— and th e Union, tee,. as.
.it ~has
proved,—has not been prompted by , a. ”.zeal
according to knowledge." —.Tour.. of Commerce.
SPECIE Avento c.—The specie average, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser of Wetting
day,. has touched the highest poinV that .has
been reached in the history of the banks of
this city, being $1,436,505 in excess of the
amount reported on the 23ct of February last,
the week immediately preceding the paythents
on account of the last government negotiation.
The average, it. will be seen, is about thirty
nine and a half millions, but the actual, amount
in the banks when the statement was made up
was probably not less than forty millions, and
since then we have •had a California instalment
of seven hundred thousand dollars, and, some
European receipts. The discounts at the same
time show a decrease of nearly two millions,
while there is a slight advance in the Wrath,
tion, and an increase of about a million . and a
half in the net deposits. During the week
thirty banks increased their loans, 'and thirty
three their specie. The ratio of specie reported
to circulation and deposits is 39 36-100 per
cent., against 36 62-100 per cent. by the pre
vious report, showing,an increase of 2 74-100
per cent. It is worthy of remark that specie
ratio at the present time is almost identical
with what it was on :the , 28th of March, 1858,
about the same time from the close 'of the, panic
of 1857, that this is from the revulsion of 1860.
On the day designated in 1858, the ratio stood
at 39 87-100 per cent. against 39 36-100 now—
a' difference" of only one-hundreth per cent.
