The Indian Question.
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, VIVA,
July 18th, 1876. !
can we'll imagine how those who
dwell within the heat rejecting walls OF
city during this remarkably hot weather
sigh for the fresh breezes and raritied
atmosphere, such as the visitors at the
famous old Greenbrier White Sulphur
Springs are now enjoying. 1t is true that
during the day the thermometer Will
sometimes crawl up for a short time to
$50 or Sc, but then as the declining sun
begins to cast shadows from the western
hills, it drops to a comfortable tempera-
ture, and by the time that the stars are
twinkllng it is enthusiastically cool. To.
day We read of the many deaths from
sun stroke on yesterday IN the various
cities of the United States, yet your cor
respondent slept last night under two
blankets, and as daylight appeared no
felt the need of another one. Just think
of thsti am not telling this for the
purpose of tsntalizing the good people of
Wheeling, who / know are sutiering in
hest that must be almost as uncomfortable
rs the sun fires of India, but simply
mention it as one, and not the greatest
one, of the many delightful comforts OF
the White Sulphur in warm weather.
1t is surprising that so many of our
West Virginia people should spend
their means in search of health and
pleasure in visiting Long Branch,
Saratoga, or even the Centennial when
right here among our own mountains
are resorts for pleasure unsurpassed by
any in Europe or America, and health
giving waters more famous for invigorat-
ing and rejuvenating qualities than the
tabled Fountain of Youth.
THE GREENBRIER WHITE.
Among all the mineral springs of Viz
GINA celebrated for their virtues the
White Sulphur Springs in Greenbrier
county have always, and deservedly so,
stood foremost. There is no medicine
equal TO the waters of these springs in
opening the secret,ons, and more particu-
lsrly in its action on the liver. Nature
has done all that nature could do in
identifying the grounds and it has only
been found necessary for the hand of
man to give few slight touches in order
to present smoother appearance to the
human eye. The lawn is dotted with
magnificent shade trees of sugar, maple
and monarch oaks. The rays of the SUM
stealing through the inteIlsclng branches
carpet the green sward with beautiful
checquer work of interuingling Lights
and shades. In the centre of the grounds
is the main hotel, massive building,
not built according the modern ideas of
architectural beauty, but to the person
who has the chronological bump of VEN
Grafton as large as nail head there is
something to admire in its columns, and
arches and solid build of Roman and
Grecian style, which has not been i'm
proved upon according 10 our srchitec-
tural ideas, by towers, bow windows and
Msnsard roof. A new hotel, the Peyton
House, built with all modern improve.
nents and conveniepces has recently
been completed and is now
ready for the reception oil
visitors. Around the outer border of The
grounds, in circular form, are continuous
rows of cottages, each row bearing a
name and each having local history al
tached to it, which would prove OF inter-
est if had the time to give it. There is
Georgia Row, Alabama Row, Virginia
Row, West Virginia Row, louisiana
Row, Paradise Row, and others whose
names l do not recollect.
