Editorial Latter to the Intslllsencer:
Ihave been ten days at this famous
watering place, and during tbs. time
have employed my leisure in looking in
to the peculiarities andouriosities Of the
place. 1 can hardly hope to write you
anything new in regard to 1t, for you have
lately published good deal concerning
II, and thus anticipated the main points
Of wha. visitor would naturally write
about. Sill, as an old citizen Of Wheel.
ing is now the Government superintend-
ent of the reservation which includes
these Hot Springs, and as several people
from Wheeling and vicinity have been
here, and others are here now, and per-
haps still more destined to be here in the
future, my observations may be OF some
interest to number Of your readers.
HOW TO 90 FROM WHEELING.
This place is something over thou.
sand miles from Wheeling, and there are
two routes Of travel to it-viz: by way
Of St. Louis and by way Of Louisville.
By the former place you come here over
the Iron Mountain & Southern railroad,
and by Louisville you come by Mem.
phis and Little Rock. Both routes
bring you 10 place called Malvern, on
the Iron Mountain road, where narrow
gauge road, IS miles long, belonging to
dDiamond 10" Reynolds, Of Chicago,
brings you to the Springs. I came by
way ofst. Louis, the trip from which
place to Malvern, Sss miles, was through
some OF the very poorest country in the
United States. Beyond the famous Iron
Mountain and the Pilot Knob Mountain
there was absolutely nothing worth look.
