The Black Crook.

Though Mr.. Doan introduces the "Black
Crook into his bulletin in to-days Telegraph,
we understand he has no idea of introducing
that 'indiVigile'' to his numerous customers,
but it is none the less true that he has most
desirable stock of domestic and foreign staple
dry goods, and is selling them at greatly re-
duced prices. Everybody can settle this ques-
ton by just going to Doan's looking at the
goods and getting the prices. At all events,
look at Doan's new advertisement, and see
what he has to say about Black Crook.

JOHN WEsLEy's FIRST "BUsT'
AND WHAT 1T CosT.-We find aaoat
the following characteristic reminis.
cence of John Wesley, whose be-
nevolent heart could never keep a
good thing to itself
Caly, the eminent artist, one day
said to Lord Shelburne-
my lord, perhaps you have heard
of John Wesley, the founder of the
Methodists p
30, yes,' etc, "that race of IA
natics.'
"Well, my lord, Mr.. Wesley had
been urged to have his likeness
taken, but he always refused. One
day he called on me on business, and
| began the old subject. Well, said
|, knowing you value money for
the means of doing good, if you will
grant my request, | will engage to
give you ten guineas for the first
ten minutes that you sit, and for
every minute that exceeds that time
you shall receive a guinea"
What" said Wesley, edo | un-
derstand you Alright, that you will
give me ten guineas for having my
likeness taken Well, l agree to it,
"He then stripped off his coat and
lay on the sofa, and in eight minutes
l had the most perfect bust I had
ever taken. lie then washed his
face, and / counted him ten guineas
into his hand
"Well,' said he, turning to his
companion, [ never till now earned
money SO speedily; but what shall
we do with it 2"
They wished me good morning,
and proceeded over Westminster
bridge. They met poor woman
crying bitterly, with three children
crying round her. On inquiring the
cause of her distress, Wesley learned
that the creditors of her husband
were dragging him to prison, after
having sold their effects, which were
inadequate to pay the debts by
eighteen shillings. One guinea made
her happy. He then went to Gilt
spur prison. The first ward he en-
tered he was struck with the APP
pearance of a poor wretch greedily
eating potato skins. He was con
fined for the debt Of half a guinea.
Wesley gave him guinea. aud had
the pleasure of seeing him liberated,
with half guinea in his pocket.
"You may imagine my lord, said
Galaxy, "that the remaining eight
guineas did not 60 far in aiding
such distress as this"
Lord Shelburne was SO convinced
of the mistaken opinion he had
formed of Wesley, that he imme.
diately ordered dozen of his busts
to embellish the grounds Of his beau
tiful residence.

AGRICULTURAL SPECIMENs.-We
were shown by Maj. Tom Bynum, a
few evenings since, two of the finest
specimens Of those important staple
plants-cotton and tobacco-that
have ever been seen hereabouts.
One of these specimens was cotton
stalk, very large and luxuriant, con
tanning upwards of three hundred
forms, many of them hollis which
would require only ten or twelve
days to open. The other was
stalk of Havana tobacco, abundantly
supplied with very large leaves Of a
rich luxuriant green. The Major
informed us that these specimens
We're a pretty fair exhibit Of his
crop in general, which be has in cul-
tivation in this parish. He has
about sixty.fve acres planted in cot.
ton, (the seed of which he procured
from Gen. Frank Blair) and some
twelve acres of tobacco. Without
any mishap, he will certainly realize
large and profitable yield of each.
He says he will have the first bale of
new cotton in the market, and we do
not doubt he will.

other room and take vapor bath
for three or five minutes. Here is
where the perspiration pours from a
man most freely. We then return to
our room and dress, taking a small
bucket of hot water with us. Here
we remained for half or one hour,
cooling off, then change our bathing
clothes, and sit down to read, or take
short walk to while away time.
There are three bath houses here,
with many departments; each house
have one or two servants to attend
to them. The springs are on the
mountain, and the water is let in
troughs or tanks to the bath houses,
in which houses you can take a hot
or cold bath, as it may suit you,
Tor shower bath if you wish). The
citizens say that there are some fifty
odd springs in this vicinity. We
went to the principal spring on the
mountain, and found the hot water
gushing out OF the rock through
crevices From appearances, there
must have been, many years past
and gone, some volcanic eruption, as
the lava is strewn all around. 1t
seems as though the mountain, in
some places, near the springs, must
be hollow, from the sound it makes
when struck with rock or stick. It
is said that the water in these springs
contains iron, soda, arsenic, alum,
iodine, and many other substances.
We can see people here from all parts
Of the country to be cured of some
disease. We noted that the waters
were good for mercurial, syphilitic,
rheumatism, and many other dis
eases but there are many diseases
to which it is injurious.
This is about all we can say as
regards the Hot Springs. The town
Of Hot Springs is located in a valley
running north and south Said val
ley is about one hundred yards wide.
There is one street running north
and south, with three houses on the
east side. All the buildings are of
wood, and nearly all new, having
been built since the war The houses
in the old town were destroyed by |
fire during the war There were but
five left when the war ceased. The
average of visitors is from five hun
dred to two thousand per season. The
resident population number about
one hundred and fifty, white and
black. We find that the town con-
tains seven hotels, and about twelve
boarding and lodging houses, six
dry goods and grocery stores, one
large billiard saloon, running four
tables three Or four saloons one
factory for making the Ouachita
four houses, all of a very
good quality; one grist and two saw
mills, the latter of which are con-
stantly in motion, making pine lum-
Der, of wide timber, which is in
abundance here two blacksmith and
two shoemaker's shops; one barber
shop; one ambrotype gallery; one
arge livery stable, hacks, coaches,
fine buggies, horses, wagons and car
riages. Also postofice, two schools,
TWO churches, one church yard, and
mechanics Of every trade needed in
1 small town. The productions of
he country are nearly all consumed
acre. They have no exports. The
are corn, rye, wheat, and
of nearl y all kinds. The
and and country around is very
broken, and not over fertile. The
county seat of Hot Spring county is
Rockport, twenty miles from this
point The climate here is pleasant,
md the nights fine for sleeping this
ime of year.

ExoRB1TANT ASSESSMENTS. There
is much complaint among taxpayers
in our city on account Of the exorbi-
tant assessments alleged to have
been in various inst ances made by
those deputized to assess real estate.
The complainants are further ag-
erieved because of the fact, that the
tax collections are made upon the
heels of such assessments, without
affordipg time by proper notification
to taxpayers, to enable them to ex-
anime the tax roll and rectify what
ever errors may appear to their dis
advantage in the assessments.
In the name Of all who are "writh-
ing beneath the grinding and daily
increasing burdens Of insupportable
taxation" we protest against all such
proceedings tending to Cypress the
people, or to paralyze their energies,
and to stay all desire for investment
in the purchase or improvement of
real estate, and thus to produce
ruinous effect upon the interest Of the
city.
