Value of Mineral Springs.

Nearly every day additional evidence of the curative properties of mineral springs, comes to hand. Marvellous cures are effected by bathing in the water and drinking it. Many in- valids acknowledged by the best of physicians to be beyond their power to cure or alleviate to any considera- ble degree, have been restored to vigorous health by a prorer use of the waters of mineral springs for few weeks or months.
 The hot springs on Col. Woolsey's ranch n the Gila valley, are said to possess great curative properties. About one year ago, Samuel Bostick. of Tucson, was so severely afflicted with rheumatism that he could hardly use his limbs and found great diff culty in waiting on himself st meals.
 He went to Col. Woolsey's springs and bathed in and drank of the wa- ters for ten days, and returned home and has ever since performed his daily labor of shaving. He feels con- fident that his stay was too short but that his relief was solely due to the curative properties of the water. Col. James M. Barney told us some months ago, that he knew of remarkable cures by the use of the same springs.
 The Washington Chronicle of July 29 is now before us with the subioined account of Senator Morton's expe- rience at the famous Arkansas hot springs. With our own eyes, in 1872, we saw the almost helpless and hope less condition of Senator Morton, aud here IS what The Chronicle saFs of his present state of health:
 The habitue last winter of the gal leries of Congress and tho corridors of the hotels would hardly identify, with the pale, leadenskinned, prema- turely decrepit man who then tottered through the aisles of the Senate Cham Der, with feeble gait, and SUD- ported by crutches, the vigorous, rosy checked, and healthy Senator from Indiana, who walked into the Ebbitt House yesterday morning, aided only by 8 slight walking-stick. Seated at table last evening, over which 6 brilliant jet of gas threw & strong light, bringing into view every hnea- ment of his face, MT. Morton struck the many visitors who called on him with tier astonishment at his changed appearance. His hair, which was always of 8 jet-black color, has gained e glossy hue, and his eyes a sparkle and intensity that speak vol umes for the recuperative powers of the hot springs of Arkansas, where he resided as 6 patient for several weeks. The paralysis of his lower limbs, once 80 painfully apparent, has been con- quered to such an extent that, while there is a perceptible halt in his gait, the locality of the trouble is confined almost wholly to the right foot, This rejuvenation of his physical system seems to have affected his general spirits in corresponding degree, and he converses with an ease and dash that would be strangers to anything but healthy physique.

 "Mr. S., where do you attend church ?"
 "What did you say?"
 "Where do you attend church %
 You will have to speak 8 trifle louder, as I'm little deaf"
 So Mrs. H-- asks again ID g louder voice;
 "Where do you attend ohurch9" "
 The old man hes.s.ed, not liking to ask again, but after a few moments he said
 "When do I change my shirt?"
 Imagine, If you can, the result. IIrs. Y didn't ma where he at- tended church, after all but she was careful to speak very loud when talk ing with the old man after that.

whereas Colonel Peyton was Democrat,
a friend of the people, and especially Of
the poor laborlng classes.
Netlled by the disparagement Of bis per-

plasterer's preference was the more of
general ignorance on all the subjects than
Of aay correct knowledge, either OF the

of the issues Involved in the canvass. The
allusion TO his want OF eGucntlon was more
than the Intoxicated little man could stand.
