baths, as you are aware, are renowned for
remedial qualities in rheumatism, neuralgia
and kindred affections. The uniform tempera-
ture OF the water il ,is Far and il is as pure a.
If distilled. The pools are perfectly transparent
as the atmosphere on clear day. The nights
are comfortably cool, and sleep and appetite
are always responsive to the will.
There are about two hundred and seventy

wien they please. Fashion is utterly and all

numbe16 We have the Intelligence and
the wealth. If they manipulate and
cheat our employees, and our employees
submitto it, we have only to use the
antidote an All-wise God has placed in
our power, and We will crush them as
babes!
If, therefore, as we suspect, the war
upon property is to begin, let the peo-
pie be prepared to welcome the assail-
ants and their ignorant allies as their
nefarious project merits. Let the fields
lie idle, and let the farmer and his de-
pendents, including every one, shorten
sail, and in two years our deliverance
will inevitably come. We should grow
holder with defeat.
