Letter from Hot Springs,
Arkansas.

HoT SPRINGS, Ark, Sept. Z, 1877.
il. BoARDMAN, ESQ will re-
sumo my narrative regarding the
history and medical qualities Of
these springs. We have so many
ellis that flesh is heir to" that any
thing that will alleviate or cure will
readily be listened to.
Within the last ten years, over
thirty thousand people have been
cured of diseases that the most skill
full physicians of our land considered
past recovery. Whilst it is admit.
ted that all who come here are not
cured, for it must be remembered
that with a majority of cases every
remedy is tried before they come to
the springs, yet it is believed that
ninety out of every hundred are
cured or benefited.
In future, Hot Springs will be more
noted as a 10iater resort than in the
past it has been one of summer, since
the railroad from Malvern, the juno
ton of the Iron Mountain & South
ern R. Road, has been finished here.
A physician told me that last winter
there was not less than three thou
sand visitors here at one time. In
this latitude the northern invalid
can take outdoor exercise, in walks,
rides or drives, with as much com
fort in December and January as he |
can in May or October. All the
bath houses are made comfortable |
for winter bathing.

Terrible Midnight Scene.

At about half-past twelve o'clock at
night, as Mr. Casper Kuhn was approach
ing the store of Miss Mary Kuhn, his sis
ter, on North Summer street, near Mon
roe, Nashville, Tenn, he noticed that the
gas lamps on each side of the building
had been turned down. This aroused his
suspicious. This aroused his suspicious
He had no sooner entered the yard than
he saw man trying to bore through one
of the, shutters. Mr. Kuhn at once
opened fire, and the burglar dashed out
of the gate and along North Summer
street. The pistol shot had been heard
by policemen Broderick and Tindall, who
were near the corner of Monroe and North
Summer streets. As the burglar came
dashing along Officer Broderick ordered
him to halt, and the command not being
obeyed, followed it with a shot The
man was then about ten yards off, and as
he came up was collared by the two
policemen.
The officers had hardly lightened their
grip upon the prisoner before, as if by
magic, they were surrounded by thirty or
forty excited men. How they got there
so quickly, the policemen say is puzzle
to them. One of them, who had hand
kerchief tied over the upper part of his
face, said fercely: "This man is our
meat" "No," put in Broderick,"" he is
ours; you must not interfere with officers
of the law" "Give him to us, or you
are dead man, demanded the unknown,
and as he spoke his pistol was poked into
Broderick's face. The officers saw that
resistance was useless; they were overpow-
ered
In half the time it takes to write this,
a rope was thrown over the burglars
head, and he was dragged off along North
Summer, then down Madison street to
the river. A gentleman followed the
lynchers, but was warned off when he
reached the bluff He distinctly heard
loud shrek, a splash, and then all was
quiet. The burglar had met his fate in
the Cumberland.

A Lady Free Mason.

There is story current in regard to a
lady who, a. number of years ago, was
made Free Mason in England under
very peculiar circumstances, she having
overheard so much of the work that It
was thought best by those who discover
ed her hidden near the Lodge, to initiate
her in order to close her mouth. A Lon
don paper is authority for stating that an
other lady has been recently admitted to
the mysteries. The following is the story:
Countess Hadich has been received as
Free Mason in Hungarian Lodge under
the Grand Orient of Hungary. The Coun-
tess is a highly-educated lady, and hav-
ing studied and become we'll versed in
Masonic literature, she was regularly pro-
posed and seconded in an open Lodge,
balloted for, and in due time was regu-
larly initiated. The Grand Orient of Hun
gary, however, declared that the initiation
is null and void, on the ground that
woman is disqualified from being Free
Mason; and the current question now a.
rises whether, as the Countess was actual
" initiated, she can be refused admission
to her Lodge,

Tea Drinking in England and Russia
From Cassell's Magazine.

From Cassell's Magazine.
English families, even ON the CONT
nent, are steadfast to tea. 1t is neces-
sity. They will take coffee if you WISH
or in addition, but the urn with the spirit
lamp-what the French call sla march
ine"--is necessary to the notion of prop
er breakfast table. The Russians come
next to us in the matter of consumption,
but they are more fastidious. With
them it is quality rather than quantity.
They have dainty palate for the infu-
sion, and drink it delicately out of little
egg-shell cups, favored with lemon juice !;
for sugar and cream would be too gross
for palates so fastidious. Their method
of taking it is luxurious, and as luxury
they are content to pay for it, 1t comes
to them overland, packed in little quarter
and half-pound packages, made up in
lead paper, twined and sealed with the
seal of the Chinese export, and wrapped
in papers decorated with quaint Japa-
nese figures, handpainted, and in their
way quite works of art. Such tea will
be sixteen or twenty shillings pound
often very much more. 1t will be des-
ecration to let milk or sugar touch it.
The flavor of it is quite peculiar. We
are accustomed to the tea that has had
the beneft-or, at all events, the expert
ence-of sea voyage. For it is curl
Gus thing that the voyage tells on it. We
know how Madeira is priced that has
been all around the world. 1t would
sc EN- that similar circumnavigation has
an effect similarly on tea. A cargo that
has been to England fetches an extraor-
binary high price in China or Japan.

Another severe hurricane swept through
large portion of the country on Saturday,

The Romance of q Rose.

A story comes fresh from the coal m ines
of the Lackawanna valleys simple story,
but rich with immense possibilities. In
the diamond" shaft there was no stead
Ter, harder worker than Jim Gardener.
What he did with his money was long a
mystery-he had no wife, no family, no
expensive habits, no relatives that any
one knew of and yet no savings bank
account. 1t was learned later that all but
the little needed for his daily wants went
for charity-found its way quietly, I'M
obtrusively, rnto the huts of women and
children whose husbands and fathers had
gone down in the crush of falling timber
or come forth black and crisp from the
searching fire-damp. There was some
thing about Gardener that suggested a
former life of higher grade. He talked
but little, but that was in words well
chosen and of choice dialect. His dress
was as rough as the toughest, but he car
ried it as man who had been used to
face the world smilingly. They called
him "Gentleman JIM in the mines, but
they all liked him as man who Away y
played fair and asked no odds.
In the accident of last April, when the
roof of part of mine fell in, Gardiner
was killed. It appeared in the evidence
that there were q few seconds during the
crack of timbers before the roof fairly
came down, and in that brief time, in
those few beats of the pulse, Gentleman
Jim" had caught two boys with his lion
like strength, and tossed them clear out
of the fatal chamber into the safe main
alley. Then he went down with the
roof When his body was recovered the
next day they found him with his right
hand thrust inside his vest and clasping
tight a little pocketbook. There was
nothing in it save card, on which wa
fastened, with Q drop Of sealing wax on

A School Teachers Suicide.

From the Providence journal.
Last evening at o'clock, as officer [.
e. Heath, of the Fourth Station, was pa
trolling his beat near Benedict Pond, he
saw an object floating near the shore
which attracted his attention, and on 60
ing nearer to make closer inspection he
found woman's hat and shawl lying
near the waters edge. Failing to procure
a boat. a young colored man who had ar
rived, went in at the request of the
officer, and brought the object, which it
was then too dark to see distinctly, to the
shore, where it was found to be the dead
body of woman. On closer examina-
ton of the clothing left on the shore, a
scrap of white paper was found pinned to
the shawl, on which was written, in pen
