CHURCHES.

There are three white and two cOlored
congregations. The Methodists are
largely in the ascendancy, and have
quite a considerable audience, with a
young man for pastor Of more than ordi-
nary ability. The Baptists have no
stated minister, but gather a small con-
gregation whenever they can get a sup
ply. The Episcopalians have by far the
best house OF worship, but moderate
congregation, under the rectOrship Of a
man some fifty years of age, who is
spoken Of as having considerable ability.
But the masses prefer recreation to
going to church, as is largely the case in
all places Of tits character.

One would expect that such a con-
glomerate mass as is found here from
every part Of the country, would repre-
sent every species of vice in the long,
dark catalogue. The unmistakable evi-
dences will fully meet the most vivid
imagination. Professional gamblers are
in full force and go for their victims.
But burglars do not, for some reason
which I cannot explain, regard this as
an inviting field, no case Of burglary
having occurred here for years. Jewel
~ is considered safe with unbolted doors.
There is less drunkenness and disturb
ance than one would expect with saloons
in full blast, in a town without organized

Of the Ignorance or cupidity of the Es-

mistaken, that's all.
There are about dozen Of these who,

with the profession generally. 1t is to
be regretted that the harmony that
should exist among members of the

ken by presentation of charges against
the professional and social standing of

Why rHr nun.Dnos Anr rrnroRARaY.

WHY THE BUILDINGS ARE TEMPORARY.
This is owing to a long-standing dis
pute in regard to title. When this is
settled, and somebody can give good
title, brick and stone walls will take the
place of board shRnties. In the mean
time, a railroad viii doubtless be con-
stlTicfed to connect with the St. Louis
and Fulton road, which in a few months
will touch within fourteen miles of the
springs. When all this is done few wa
tering places win take the precedence of
Hot Springs.
One of the contestants, among three
Others, is "Uncle SAM He proposes,
in the generosity Of his big heart, tOgive
one hundred acres, including all the
springs, for the benefit of the public. A
bill to this effect, a year or two since,
passed one house of Congress, and was
barely defeated in the other. AS "one
good turn demands another" he should
build an immense hospital for the bene-
iit of the poor. 1t is enough TO move the
heart of a stone to see the pitiable spec
linens of suffering humanity that some
how, without a dollar in their pockets,
find their way to this modern "PoOl of
Bethesda
THE SPRINGS.
There are fifty-four in number, all
confined to an area of about One-fOurth
of a mile. They gurgIe from the rocky
slope of the East mountain near its
base, and mingle with the small stream
winding through the valley. These
springs have a mean temperature of
one hundred and thirty-five degrees
Fahrenheit, the highest being one hun
dred and fifty-four degrees, diseharging
three hundred and seventeen gallons
per minute.
From all we can learn from hearsay
and observation, we have come to the
conclusion that these waters possess Gu
ratiye properties in a marvellous degree.
We have cOnyersed with many per
sons, who came here as dcrpier resort,
having exhausted medical skill to no
purpose, who have been completely re-
stored. The rheumatic, with distorted
limbs, enlarged joints, or bent into a
crescent, throws aside his crutches and
walks erect with elastic step. The dis
peptic, whose digestive organs refused
to perform their functions, re-
joices in the possession of a
healthy-toned stomach, filings to
the winds his hypochOndria, and finds
himself translated from a world Of NOR
bid gloom to one Of Joy and hope. The
victim of lust, whose whole system is
permeated with the deadly virus, insep-
arabic from his course of shame, result
ing in aching bones, diseased skin and
running sores, feels the potent touch of
this cleansing pool, and leaves with the
fully fixed to heed the con-
tents of the seventh chapter of Proverbs,
TO which any one interested is requested
to turn.
