sw1MISo BArHs.-During the cold weather
Inst Spring the large hot springs near Dem
yer's bridge were fayorite place Of resort for
the unwashed, but as the weather grew warmer
the water became too hot for bathing Pur-
poses, and for some months they have fallen
into disuse. 7. Is. Henley 4 Co. are now
erecting fine building on the shore Of the
circular. pond, intended for bathing purposes,
and have also constructed a dam or causeway,
dividing the cool from the hot water, by which
arrangement any desirable temperature can be
had in the main bathing pond. This dam or
partition extends entirely across the pond
froin east 70 west and holds back the boiling
water which issues and bubbles up from the
south shore Of the pond. The building and
conveniences for bathing, both swimming and
tub baths, are not quite completed yet, but
will be by Saturday next, when these springs
will no doubt become place of popular re-
sort for the multitude, and the enterprising
propietors will receive n substantial reward
for their labor.

ASHLEY roH WHITE MKs.-The Springfield
Republican appears to feel badly over I'M
peacher Ashley's desertion Of the Republican
party. It says:
Governor Ashley, Of Montana, is going from
bad tn worse. He not only made a speech at
Helena, lately, advocating the immigration of
white races alone into that Territory. but he
now writes letter to IN Eastern paper de-
Tending himself for so doing. We shall not
oe surprised soon to see him 30 far debasa
himself before the Democratic majority of that
Territory AZ TO deny not only that he is a Re
publican now, but that he ever was one.
What could Gen. Grant have been thinking of
when he appointed that fellow to office?
Five years from to-day it will be the most
difficult thing in the world to find man who
will confess that he ever belonged to the negro
Chinese-worshiping-b brotherhood party. Dem
ocratic victories have wonderful effect upon
the time-serving patriots who behold in the
near future the downfall and ruin OF the Rad
ical party. Democratic victory in Nevada
would have similar influence ON the spinal
columns Of such luminous patriots as Bill
Stewart, Charley belong and old Jim Nye,
who would hasten TO forswear their allegiance
to the black deity Of their ardent worship.
They were never known to stay long in a mi
nority party, and when they quit Radicalism
they will be ten-fold more violent and bitter in
denouncing the party which they have deserted
than those who have fought Radicalism from
the beginning on principle.

b Of Respect.

1t is ever sad, Mr.. Editor, to re.
cord the death of any one, for there
is no one so humble but that pure
and sincere tears are shed upon
his tomb, but In the death of Capt.
GEO. T. WIER we are called upon
to mourn the loss of the man OF
stern integrity, the social gentle
man and the soldier, without a
stain-one who did his whole duty
as a man whenever called upon.
He was born in Pickens county,
Ala, on the 18th of August, 1927,
and died on Oct. 4th, 1869, at
Dunus Lake, Florida. Capt. WIER
wSs for twelve years an Intimate
acquaintance and firm friend Of
the writer of this poor tribute to
bis memory, and sincerely can be
said of him that in every avoca-
ton Of life he performed we'll the
task set before him. Before the
war as a druggist and pharma-
ceutist, he executed well his whole
duty, and when the toxsin of war
sounded, he was the first to raise
and take from the county a com.
pany of men, "The Noxubee
Rifles" Of whom it may be we'll
said, that Drawer men never had
a Drawer leader than he. He re.
NAMED with his company for two
years, when from disease contract
ed from expose, consequent upon
the arduous duties encumbent
upon him, his health so failed him
that he was compelled to resign.
Capt. WER as a man was con-
scientiOus in all of his action 8,
punctilious of his word, and care
full of his honor; he was brave to
a fault, but. ever ready to make
amends when convinced of an er-
rOr. He never recovered from the
shock to his health received in the
Q. s. Army, which eventually cut
short his useful life. He was twice
married and leaves a loving wife
to mourn his loss. To her we would
say mourn not as though your
separation were eternal, for long
before his death, he expressed bis
consciousness of pardon and his
hope of eternal rest, but strive to
meet him in mansions not made
with hands eternal ID the HeAv.

DR. Livinrstone,s Letter.
Totle Editor Of the london Time

To the Editor Of the london Time.
Sir In a letter to myself from
Zanzibar, dated the 10th of Sep.
TENDER, DR.. Kirk has given me
sufficient extracts from Living
stones letter to him to enable
me to give.a very brief outline OF
the researches Of my illustriots
friend.
DIR. Livingstone had traced a
chain of lakes, CONNECTED by
rivers, from the tracts south Of
the lake Tanganyika to- south
lat Jude 10 degrees to u degrees,
ana he conjectures that these
numerous connected lakes and
rivers are the ultimate southern
sources of the Nile. When he
wrote he was about to travel
northward to UjUi, on the cas-
tern shore of Lake Tanganyka,
where he expected to find some
information from home, of which
he had been entirely deprived
for two years, as we'll as to receive
provisions and assistance.
As DR. Kirk adds, you knew
long ago OF his safe arrival at
UjIi," we may infer that before
this time he will have satisfied
himself whether any ofthe South
Africa waters flow into the Equa.
torial Albert Nyanza of Baker,
of the existence Of which great
ss1le we now learn that Living
stone was cognizant.
If this determination has been
arrived at, Livingston will have
glorioHsly solved the great prob
lem of African geography, and
will have proved by actual OBJ
seryation that PtoNmy, seven
teen centuries ago, really placed
the sources of the Nile in about
their true latitude, a view which
has Of late years been sustained
by Beke, Arrowsmith and Find
lay.

P. Sin consequence of the
good will and letters of the Sultan
of Zanzibar, our long absent
friend has been most Hospitality
treated by the Arab traders in
the interior, of whom he writes
in the most grateful terms.
