THE HOT SPRINGS.

Taking advantage of the dull sea
 son and the excursion over the Fort
 Smith road, it was the privilege oi of the writer to visit these celebrated and truly wonderful Springs last week. It was our first visit to them and we were very sensibly impress ed with the wonderful sight of these valuable waters, distilled by nature herself, among the hills and noun tains of Garland county. The won der of this matter does not consist in the mere fact of boiling, bubbling water running from the mountain side, but in the wonderful and mys- terious difference between this water and water heated by artificial means. The medicinal properties and the cu- rative powers and the vivifying prin- ciples ot the waters are beyond the powers of imitation. The best counterfeits that could be prepared by our most skilled scientists would be so base a fraud as to deceive no one. The waters of Hot Springs are without rival on the whole globe, and they are destined to acquire a fame not even surpassed by the fab ulous Fountain of Youth. Nature has certainly provided here mirac- ulous curative agent--an agent which is destined to prove blessing to humanity far and wide.
 The town which takes it's name from the Hot Springs, is Il lively, busy little place, and is assuming city airs with rapidity which will soon make the place in reality, quite a city-a city not only in name and in extent. but in business and in population. At present the town is an irregular, crowded ahd crooked string of frail fralne buildings, strung out up the Hot Springs Val ley in confusion and disorder. The United States Commissioners are now at the Springs engaged in mak ing a survey of the reservation, and It is said that they will lay out a town of magnificent proportions, and have all the buildings at present standing on the east side of the valley. near the vicinity of the Springs, removed.
 It is to be greatly hoped that the notoriety which this famous resort must acquire will impress these Commissioners with the importance of making good job of their work, and deter them from doing anything on any other than grand scale, such as may be the admiration of the mil lions who will visit this great Baden Baden of America.

TO PROSPER, OR NOT TO
 PROSPER.

Or to put the same question in an other shape it will read, To Manu
 facture at Home, or not to Manufac- ture at Home; for it is a plain prop esition to our mind that we will nev. CT prosper with any great degree of thrift and energetic vitality, until we cease importing so many manufac- tured articles, and go to employing labor at home and commence utilz- ing our own raw material in the pro duction of many thousands of arti
 cles which are now imported from away up in New England, ,-the transportation, on these alone, mak- ing them cost from 25 to 100 per cent. more than they would, If manu
 factured at home. The more we think about this matter, the greater the folly of our people appears to be, and their blindness to their own in terests; and the greater is our desire to say something or do something to arouse the people of Arkansas, and especially the people of our own sec tion (for there is no more favorable place in all Arkansas, for the estab- lishmeht of manufactures), to the necessity of making start in this grand scheme of home manufactu- ring. Every year we pay thousands ofdollars freight on wooden articles shipped to our county, while we have an untold wealth of timber all around us, so thick that it almost prevents q free circulation of the air itself, far superior in quality to any that is shipped here in manufactured arti- cles. We not only pay thousands of dollars freight on these articles, but we pay the manufacturers a hand some profit, and furnish employment to labor away from home which nev- CT benefits us particle. If the same labor were employed here it would bring hundreds of laborers here, who, by spending their earn ings among us, would add to our prosperity and aid us in paying our taxes. The proposition is so plain, that she most obtuse understanding

ALL THE CRIME NOT IN THE
 SOUTH.

Let those who have said so many hard things about the South on ac- count of crimes committed in that section, remember that every crime committed here has counterparts by the score in the North. Speaking of the Chisolm murder, about which so much has been said, the New York Sun, says:
 'It is a dreadful state of affairs in Mississippi which lets the Chisholm murderers go unpunished. On that point there is little room for disagre- ment. The locality where such u crime can be committed with impu- nity is justly regarded as plague spot unfit for human habitation. Here in New York, and indeed thro' out the country, it is hardly men toned without an expression of ab- horance for such condition of socle ty as must exist to secure immunity to the murderers.
 But what have we to boast of in comparison? Is not the Huntington murder still unavenged? A young man was mobbed by scores of persons in public highway and in conspicu- ous private grounds. He was tarred and feathered, beaten and mutilated Women, some of the elite of the town among them, came out to look with wondering admiration on the scene. Finally the poor fellow was rowed out in boat and sunk in the sea, the briny water choking his voice and silencing his cries which were oulyheard by Heaven after that. Yet this great crime remains unpun- ished and virtually unprosecuted.
 Chisholm and Kelsey, Mississippi and New York! What have we to boast of
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-06-21

ought to comprehend it. Now do
 our people desire to continue in this
 old rut, and remain slaves to New
 England, or do they wish to come
 out and inaugurate new and unpar-
 alelled era of prosperity here at
 home? We propound this question
 in all earnestness, for notwithstand-
 ing most of our people think we are
 powerless to do anything in this line,
 we tell you such is not the case.
 You can, if you only will, do so much
 that you will be astonlshed. Why,
 not many months ago, a company of
 Indianapolis gentlemen (whom we
 now believe were first-class frauds, ]
 came here, and just by blowing around one evening, about starting a
 factory here for the production of agricultural implements, had over three thousand dollars bonus offered them, by few of our townspeople. Now if few town people can give this much,-wben they are not near so much the sufferers from the i'm portation of agricultural implments, as are the farming classes who use these imported blows, theshing ma chimes, cultivators, harrows, hoe handles, axe helves, chairs, bed steads, &c., &c., what might we not do, if the 1900 farmers in Pope coun- ty would join in with one accord and say they will make their own goods of this class at home? We need not necessarily start out on any grand scale,-no necessity of it. We would accomplish much, if we could start out on a scale sufficient to supply home demand. This, we as sert can be done, too, without any great struggle. Suppose 1000 of of Pope county's citizens take $25 stock each, in an enterprise of this kind, and pay only $10 of it thls fall. Here we would have $10,000 cash, sufficient sum to make a right nice little start. It is business which will grow and prosper here, and will develop, ere you would scarcely know it, into a great blessing to our section of the State. But even if the bushes just paid expenses, without any dividend, our people would still be gathers, for they would save enormous sums of freight, commissions, dealers prof it's, &c.
 We say this can be done, but not by talk. Our people must take hold in earnest. More of our citizens than the editor of the county news paper must work for it and advocate it. Will you do it, fellow citizens? We want you to answer!
