ae Wedonot hold ourselves responsible for the statements or opinions of our correspondents.
Deak Sir,—The public may form a very accurate idea of the present state of the New Asylum foundation, by directing their attention to an editorial in the Argus,of the 11th of June, inst., in which it is averred that many very prejudiced persons had lately visited the work going on at the Asylum building, and had expressed their astonishment at the state of perfection to which the patch work had been brought. Now, Sir, this announcement of the Editor has been completely demolished by a com- munication from Mr. Charles Heartz, in the Examiner of the 26th of June, instant, in which he very conclusively shows that irregular courses of masonry cannot be dis- turbed, and afterwards replaced satisfac- torily. Who has not laughed at the oft re- peated story of the Chinese tailor that made a new dress coat for a British ofticer with a prominent patch on the elbow? Would the Editor of the Argus don such a garment and walk in state to attend his Honor’s levee, and call the garment ‘‘ rich and new?” We guess not. But even when the Editor comes before the public on his knees, and confesses to the previous bad workmanship, he cannot refrain from a sneer at the wise- acres (as he impertinently dubs them) who detected and exposed the shameful botchery. Luckily for him his lot has been cast on pleasant lines, and he should repress his sneer at the unfortunate wiseacres who have never been afforded the opportunity of making stuinp speeches on Albery Plains, or making the grand tour across a continent on wheels. Nor can every man be a bril- liant essayist, fed and pampered on Govy- ernment pay, like the ungrateful Editor who sneers at the very men who helped to vault him into his present lucrative position. But the Editor is reminded that these same wiseacres are men who can distinguish a glad-stone or on Island volunteer from our Island new-red sandstone; and who will not forget the manner in which the Government levied the obnoxious School Assessment; and, very likely, these same wiseacres will bestir themselves to their utmost to rid the country of a party of men who, when reliev- ed from office, will leave behind them a trail of financial incapacity and jobbery.
Yours, &c., Farrpiay.

——— —+<—>-e—-- Sponge Bath.
The sponge bath is really the universal bath. Comparatively few people have ap- pliances for any other, and in that case it must serve the purpose of all other bathing, viz.: those of cleanliness and health. It may be taken of cold, tepid, or warm water, with or without soap. No more soap should be used than is necessary for clealiness.
The proper way to take this bath, is to
-have a warm room; expose but a portion of
the body at a time; take a [sponge, a piece of Russia towelling or a knit wash doth: bathe the part quickly and rub thoroughly with a coarse bathing towel or flesh brush. An invalid or delicate person should have assistance in rubbing, not having strength to bring proper action to the surface.
As good a time as any to take this bath is upon rising in the morning. Nature seems then to demand the awakening and invigorating process of the bath.
The sponge bath can be taken to advan- tage by many persons two or three times a week, especially those of a billous tempera- ment, having a sluggish circulation; indeed, some would be benefitted by taking it every morning.
If a person is in ordinary health, and has good powers of reaction, the cold sponge bath is decidedly tonic. No bath, however, should be taken if the person chills after it. It is a fact which all are not aware of, that one is less liable to chill after a cold or tepid bath than after a warm or hot one.
When one is restless and cannot sleep, bathing part or all the body quickly with tepid water will often produce quiet sleep.
Sponging off with warm or hot water cools a fever more rapidly than with cold water.
In nervous diseases, those using tonic treatment, the sponge bath, followed by vigorous rubbing, is more desirable than most other baths.

The Prince of Wales and the Colonies.
The London correspondent of Toronto Globe, referring to the fact that the Prince of Wales has consented to become Presi- dent of the Royal Colonial Institute, says that the announcement is regarded in Lon don as one of considerable importance and His Royal Highness’ acceptance of the office is generally regarded both as a compliment to the Colonies and a recogni- tion of the value and importance of the work carried on by the Royal Colonial In- stitute. And it is believed that the fact that the Prince of Wales has so promi- nently identified himself with it will tend to further increase’ the interest taken by the general public in Colonial matters and to cement the ties which bind the Colonies to the Mother Country. The aim of the projectors and Council of the Colonial Institute has always been to coment
the union of the various dependencies alike sun-bonnet, looked after the retreating with the Old Country and amongst them- | tails and went for the medicine.
selves, and by thus showing his approbation of what has been done, His Royal Highness
-|renders the Institute very valuable aid.
Moreover, his acceptance of the Presidency undoubtedly will also have a good effect in the Colonies, and it will be the means of associating the Prince prominently and personally with their interests. In short very strong hopes are entertained, that this step will, in many ways, be productive of an linmense amount of good. sionpaaiatlitabiisinn
The Situation in the United States.
In the United States the Presidental election dispute, and the conciliatory course of Mr. Hayes, have caused serious internal dissensions in the ranks of the two parties respectively. The Northern Democrats favored strong measures for throwing Hayes out and seating Tilden, but their Southern allies held back, and refused to enter upon the dangerous strife, believing, as has been shrewdly suspected, that they could squeeze as much concession to the South out of the former as they could ont of the latter, and without running any risk. The Republican leaders charge, in effect, that Hayes has betrayed them, and hence division in that party too, the vast majority being clearly with the party’s par- liamentary leaders and against the Presi- dent. A change in the air is now apparent, however, as the State Conventions speak out, and the Republican party, to begin with, is getting drawn together again. The idea of uniting upon Grant, and making him the party's standard-bearer again, in 1880, is spreading, and appears to be tak- ing hold of the masses, too. At the Illinois Convention, the other day, these mottoes were conspicuously displayed along with a likeness of Grant: ‘‘Hail to our Chieftain;” “Give us Grant in 1880;’ “Two good terms deserve another.” Who the Demo- crats are likely to concentrate their strength upon does not very clearly appear as yet.

Said Lerd Brougham in 1815 : “‘ England can afford to incur some loss on the export of English goods, for the purpose of destrey- ing foreign manufactures in the cradle.” The manufactures of the United States think they can afford some loss in order to destroy Canadian manufactures in the cra- dle. France, Germany and the United States frustrated the designs of the would- be monopolists of England by protection. Will Canada be as wise for her own inter- ests !
Dr. Mary Walker has left the hospital at Washington and appeared in Pennsylvania Avenue in a new suit of clothes. A Wash- ington correspondent of The Cincinnati Com- mercial describes her as a ghost dressed in a nobby spick-and-span new gray knicker- boker plaid, boots, pantaloons, long-tail coat, tall silk hat and white cotton gloves. It carried a small cane in one hand anda small sunshade in the other ; its long black hair was rolled up into finger puffs on its little head ; it had a rose in its button-hole and a glossy shirt-bosom, smooth as an icicle over its feebly fluttering heart, and its neck- tie was “‘ brightly, beautifully blue.” There was undiminished pluck and determination in every fibre of the closely knit frame, and the way these boot-heels clicked on the curb meant business. A poor woman in a calico dress and sun bonnet, with two barefooted children, dragged herself along the street. Dr. Mary tripping jauntily by, had her physician’s eye attracted by some ailment in the younger baby. She stopped and ques- tioned, and then down went her hand inte an inside breast-pocket, and cut came a book, and from the book a pencil ; and then the coat was unbuttoned, and down went the hand into the breeches pocket, and out came a new wallet, and out of that a half dollar ; prescription and half-dollar were put into the woman’s hand, and then the fu doctor buttoned up her coat, trimly her hat, and went off.
