There are about seventy springs. large
and small, on the side Of Hot
Springs Mountain. They arc scat
tered over say two hundred acre
surface. These springs are tapped by
iron or wooden pipes and their water
conveyed to the different bathing houses
Some OF these houses are on very com,
pIete scale, but the principle one is The
'Iron Bath House." where about $50 PEG
pie are daily accommodated. 1thas con
venient stalls, excellent tubs, varoi
room to each stall, and a general sweat
ing and cooling room after you come out
dressed. You pay $40 for ticket, enti-
Ting you TO q baths, and this includes the
attendance Of the servant who rubs you
down before you dress. The general
prescription OF the doctors is FIVE minutes
10 the baths, at temperature Of 90 To
9s degrees, two to three minutes in the
vapor room where you are fastened in
box up to your neck and then ttor some
people, Eve minutes in the pack. The
pack consists Of your bathing tub, from
which the water has been let out, and
being rolled up Ia such blankets as you
have furnished. At every stage OF
the game you drink hot water,
and as you drink you sweat. By the
time you get through the rubbing you
feel, as general thing, pretty limp.
Some persons sweat as much in the cool.

after drinking the hot water as they do in

INTERESTING FACTS.
Healthy Condition Of Our Business
interests.

New YORK, Oct. 15.-Dun, Barlow
Il Bro, give the following inter-
esting statistics of business fail
ures: For the third quarter Of 1878
they were 1858, as compared with
Isis for the same quarter last year
liabilities for the lastquarter $66 OOO,-
600, as compared with $42,OOO,OOO for
the same period of 1877; for the first
nine months of 1878 the failures num-
ber 6,768, as compared with 6,565 for
the same period in 1877; liabilities
for the first nine months of 1878
$l97, 100000, against $141, 100000
for nine months Of 1877. 1t is admit
ted that the petitions in bankruptcy
filed in the period named will consid-
erably exceed the figures given above,
but it must be understood that large
number of applicants for relief were
either those whose failures had been
previously reported or those who had
gone out of business Or were not en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits. The
above figures refer to failures only
of those who were in active business
and suspended payment during the
period under review. The agency
considers that the number of actual
failures were not as large as might
have been anticipated among 100000
traders reported in business, and in
view of the temptation offered to OBJ
tain relief from past misfortunes or
anticipated embarrassment. The trade
Of the country is believed to have sur
vived what has threatened to be Sc
rions shock to confidence and credit,
growing out of the circumstances OF
the repeal of the bankrupt law, and
excepting the unfortunate epidemic
in the south the general conditions
are more healthy than at any timo
since 1873.

Prospects for Pork.

The Chicago Drorer's Journal is
anything but cheerful for the imme-
future Of pork. It says:
at is now generally admitted that
the packing season in Chicago will
open late, perhaps not until the 18th
of November, or even later, if the
weather should not prove favorable.
The condition of the trade will not
admit of any extra expanse OH the
product. ice, so necessary to the
curing of meats, is scarce and high:
and then the stocks of old product are
sufficient to meet the present wants
of trade. This seems to be the view
taken by about all the large firms in
the business. OF course, those that
were fortunate in securing large
stock OF ice at cheap rates may go on
with the business. The extreme warm
weather of the past three months has
nearly exhausted the ice supply of
the country, and all summer curers
complain of the scarcity. Just now
there is considerable demand for ribs
and the great bulk of shipments are
for European accounts The home de-
mand is light; the condition of affairs
at the South has entirely shut out the
largest consuming and distributing
markets of our own country. But.
against all this, our packers look for
a good trade and fair prices the COM
ing season. They claim that the re-
vival of the industries of the New
England and Middle States will Gre

of that In the SOuth: and then O,lr

The Ne,cs Is very plain. It knows
what is meant by the attack on the

use of the army.
The democratic party Of this nation
is determined to aid the Southern
