The Baden Baden OF America.

The hot springs of Arkansas are
justly acquiring q vast notoriety abroad
for their peculiar virtue in the cure of
disease. TO add to their fame, many
discoveries of precious stones and
metals are being made in their vicini-
ty. Silver ores are being almost
weekly discovered in this and adjacent
counties. A railroad company acci-
IDENTIFY discovered q lode of silver lead.
bearing mineral upon their line Of
road fcw weeks ago, in the midst of
the ground that they were excavating
for their new depot in the city Of Lit
tic Rock. We know that De Soto had
a rendezvous of bis party in this vicin-
ity, about twenty five miles west and
northwest in Conway County, three
hundred years ago, during the reign
ofQueen Isabella ofSpain. We know,
too, that De Soto camped there one
entire winter, and then moved down
tho river to what is now the old Post
of Arkansas, and died at that place.
On this western trip of bis he gath
cred many specimens ofprecious stones,
diamonds and sapphires, garnets and
crystals, and carried away with him
considerable gold and silver bullion. -
The signs Of his old furnaces are yet
to be seen-the Stag that would indi.
cate other metal than only lead or
silver. A large cavern in Hot Springs
Mountain is known by the name OF
the Murderer's Cave. The only white
man that is ever known TO have en-
tered this cave is an old hunter that
IS said TO have lived, or is still living,
in that cavern, and yearly comes hore
with his furs and peltries, the labor Of
his years services in trapping. He,
however, always brings with him
samples of these silver ores and pre-.
cious stones, which he disposos OF to
tho jewellers, and his silver bullion To
tho bankers. This cavern is called
Murdcrcr's Cave, from the fact, so re.
port goes among the "nativcs," that
no man that had venturcd into this
cavern had ever been seen alive again.
The existence Of genuine silver orc in
that cavern cannot be disputed. 1t il

AIT DEPARTMENT. 1879,

The illustrations Of THE 4LDINE have
won worldwide reputation. and in the art
centres Of Europe it is an admitted fact that
Its wood cuts are examples ot the highes t
perfection ever attained. The common
prejudice i'll favor Of steel plates is rapid
~ yielding to a more educated and lisctimin-
ating taste which recognizes the advantages
OF superior artistic quality with greater iaciii-
ty OF production. The woOd-Cuts Of TIE
ALDINE possess all the delcacy aud clabor-
ate finish of the most costly steel plate.
while they afford better rendering Of the
artists original.
To fully realize the wonderful work which
THE 1LDiNE is doing for thu cause of ART
culture in America, it Is only necessary to
consider the cost TO the people OF any other
descent representations OF the productions of
great painters,
In addition to designs by the members Of
the National Academy, and other noted
American artists, THE ILDLNE will re-
produce examples OF the best foreign
masters, selected with view to the highest
artistic success and greatest general interest.
THUS the subscriber to THE ALDINE will,
at a trihing cost, enjoy in his own home the
pleasures aud refining influences Of true art.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will
be by hos. Moran and j. ID. Woodward.
Tho Christmas issue for 1874 will contain
special designs appropriate to the season, by
our best artists, and will surpass in attrac-
tons any of its predecessors.

CADDo, Indian Territory, Noy. 1.-The
Choctaw Legislative Council has just ad-
iourned after an exciting session of about
four weeks. In the Treaty Of 1866, Con-
gress. agreed TO give the Choctaws s300, 900
for the strip of country known as the LEASED
district" provided the Choctaws would,
within two years, adopt into the nation and
make citizens about 3, 900 negroes, formerly
their slaves, ami give 40 acres of land to each
individual. The time expired without action
having been taken, and from Council to
Council the Government has extended the
time. This money, with interest, now
amounts to more than s400 900, yet so strong
is the prejudice against allotting their lands
that they have again refused TO pass the act
of adoption The negroes are excited, and
will send strong delegation to Washington
to urge their rights before Congress. They
do not want to be compelled to leave their
homes, and desire To have their status deter.

Good News Tor Advance Reader

The ADVANCE takes pleasure in announcing
to its thousands of friends that Gen. c. II
Howard, widely known as Western Secretary
of the American Missionary Association, has
become associated with its publishers, and
will hencciorth devote his time and energies
to the advancement Of its interests in every
way. The completion of this arrangement
places at the disposal of its conductor am
pie means TO add greatly to its present a,trac-
tons. The paper will be increased to twenty
pages as soon as the machinery for folding it
can be completed. This will be an enlarge
mcnt of one-fourth its present size, and will
afford an opportunity for the presentation
of much additional attractive and valuable
matter.
While the writer's who have done so much
in the past i'll helping the Adrance to its ma
tional reputation as an able, wlde-awake and
candid journal, will still continue to appear
in its pages, we expect that many other and
brilliant names will grace its list of contri-
butors. We believe that under the pre-
sent combination the Adrance enters upon a
new era. Fresh enthusiasm will mark its
every department, and we trust that added
energy and q stronger friendship will he
awakened among its friends and agents every

me American. Exchange on Eng

The London Econoraist of October 9th.
1873, makes the following statement concern.
/ ing the circular issued by Secretary Richard.
son with reference to the future form of the
New ork exchange quotation on England.
win reference to the abeve question Nr.
secretary Richardson has also addressed a
circular to importers. exchange dealers, and
the public generally in the United States.
calling attention 10 the anomalies Of the old
system OF reckoning Is. Cd to the dollar.
based upon usage dating back to an early
period of colonial history, and the attempts
10 correct these anomalies by expedents
which have become the source of new errors
IL IL IN consequence of this suggestion that
the New York merchants and xcbange deal
ers appear to have adopted the above RS olu-
Ton OF a reform in the method of quoting the
exchange. a principal anomaly which Mr.
Richardson points out, however, is beyond
the power OF the American Government to
correct, a. Mr.. Richardson recognizes. This
Is the English Stock Exchange practice of
quoting American securities at the exchange
OF A. I'd. to the dollar The effect of EN-.
ploNing this fictitious par are is that Ameri-
can securities ut par are quoted al o. per
cent discount, aud other quota tions vary in
proportion from the reality. From Mr.. Rich.
ardson's view, the most importan. result Of
his usage Is an injurious effect upon Amcri-
can circuit, American securities appearing at
discount even when they are really above
par but here more Importance will be attach
Ell TO the business confusion and inConycni-
ence, which are extreme. We have more
than once suggested to the committee of the
London Stock Exchange that the evil is one
which loudly calls for remedy. Investors are
sorely puzzled by the calculation Of what an
American investment will yield them; and
the comparison with other Investments, which
would often be so favorable to American. is
lmpeded. OF course, the calculation, are
made easily enough in brokers' Offices. and
There are tables and lists which any investor
may consult; but all this is a very different
thing from the ready knowledge which the in
resting public should have from mere
glance at a pricc-lst and knowledge OF the
rate Of interest yielded. a favorable orpor-
tunity Is nov offered for making reform,
ana We trust the Stock Exchange committee
will take it in hand at the earliest oppor-
tunity.
