The Hot Springs OF Arkansas.

Some very remarkable hot springs
exist in Arkansas, in narrow valley
between two low ranges Of the Ozark
Mountains They issue from the
mountains on the east side of the val.
ley, about fifty feet above the base,
and are nearly fifty in number. Sena-
tor Morton, of Indiana, who is under
going treatment there, thus describes
the manner in which they are used;
"The water varies in temperature
from seventy-eight TO one hundred
and fifty eight degrees, aud is carried
by wooden troughs into the tops of
small lighthouses at the base of the
mountain, situated on the bank of Hot
Spring Creek. The patient first en-
ters the dressing room, where he is
disrobed, and prepared for the bath.
He then goes back into another, where
he enters a large tub filed with water
as hot as he can bear it. He remains
in this FIVE or six minutes and then
goes back further into the vapor room.
This is a small, close room, having for
its floor an open wooden grating, be-
meath which is n reservoir OF hot wa
ter He sits down on little bench
and finds by his de tin bucket filed
with hot water from the spring, and n
tin cup. This water he drinks freely,
so hot that it almost burns his mouth,
and, strange to say, discovers that he
likes it, and that it does not make him
sick. And now, if his skin is not as
impervious as parchment, he will per-
spire as he never did before. After
remaining in the vapor few minutes
he goes back and again enters the hot
water, stays i'll that minute or two,
is then rubbed off and dressed, goes
to his room, gets between the blank
ct, drinks repeatedly of the hot water,
perspires about thirty minutes, is then
thoroughly rubbed, puts on dry fan
nels, dresses, and goes to dinner with
an appetite.
The people throughout that section
have faith amounting almost to fanat-
icism in the power of the waters to
cure every chronic disease except con-
sumption and disease of the heart.
The climate is comparatively cool and
salubrious, so that blankets are needed
to sleep under at night. The water is
tasteless, but many people drink it hot
| with as much avidity as If it were ice
water, and it is said that with the aid
of pepper, salt, and little butter, it
makes a very palatable soup. The
country around is wild, and game is
abundant. There are about four hun
dred visitors now at the springs.

Mexican Affairs.

NEW ORLEANS, July 10.
The U. S. Revenue Cutter Wilder
ness arrived tonight from Vera Cruz,
where she arrived ON the 14th inst.
with Madame Juarez. A deputation
of Mexican officials boarded the vessel
and warmly welcomed Madame Juarez
back to Mexico. On the 18th she dis
embarked from the Wilderness and
met with an enthusiastic public recep-
ton, civil and military. The display
during the day was gala one and at
night the city was brilliantly illumin-
ated, and there was magnificent dis
play of fireworks in her honor. She
would be accompanied by large par
ty of Mexican notables and would leave
for the city Of Mexico on the 10th
inst.
President Juarez arrived at the
Capital on the 14th inst. and was cor
daily received He emphatically de-
clines reelection to the Presidency
and has ordered new election to be
held. He will retire to his hacienda
in the mountains as soon as his sue
cessor is chosen.
1t is officially reported that Gen
Vidauri had been shot, thus meeting
the fate of Macmillan, Miramon, aud
Mejia. Gen. Marquee is believed tc
be hiding in the city of Mexico. He
will be shot as soon as captured.
Ii was reported in Vera Cruz on the
l4th inst, that Santa Anna was still
alive, but later dates received in thi.
city from Tampico state that he has
been shot.
Everything is quiet in Vera Cru;
and the city is perfectly healthy. The
Austrian sloop-of-war Elizabeth wai

held no communication with the Mexi
can officials, except through the T. S
gunboat Tacony and Consul Souliyer

ter of the Hon Davis Rich, of Shore

The funeral of this much loved and
greatly lamented lady was held at
Burlington on Sunday afternoon her
large circle of neighbors and friends
joining the relatives of the deceased i'll
paying their last tribute of respect to
the deceased. The light which illum-
mated Mr. Catlin s house on the emf
nence of Burlington, between the
beautiful residence of Messrs. Oscar
A. Burton, and Lawrence Bar
ney, has gone out, and the re
membrance of her many virtues will
long dwell in his memory as well as in
that of her many friends.
The following beautiful tribute from
late number of the Burlington Times
indicates in faint degree the high
estimation in which the deceased was
held in Burlington. "In the death OF
Mrs. Catlin large circle of friends
and neighbors, and indeed our whole
community, laments a great loss. AL

tender and loving heart drew her tC
