BLANCHARD SPRINGS.

: Correspondents Times Democrat.
Blanchard City is situated about ID
miles south of Eldorado, Ark, aud 10
miles north from Spearsvillc, La. 1t is
surrounded by a good country, thickly
settled by thrifty people. What gave
rise to Blanchard was the discovery of
the wonderful springs, situated ia the
heart of the town. Years ago the
springs were discovered by one Mr..
Blanchard, hence their name. Not
much notice was taken OF these springs
cations were made, and the springs
found to possess an analysis peculiar
to themselves, very different to any
ever before found, and at the same time
very wonderful. Prof. Joseph Jones
made the analysis. Blanchard City
had it's first click" struck some time in
July, and before Christmas had come
quite town was built. Improvements
of different kinds have been made and
are still going on. Cures have been
effected upon many persons who have
drank and used these waters. There
were great many visitors last season,
a few during the winter, and now there
is quite rush.
The nearest points from any railroad
to our fast growing town are Monroe,
Atas3 0uu Ss4AAuSu, kAGAs AA0SAS uAC u1AA
ing regular trips now daily from those
places. The town is made principally
of plank sawed from the tall pines that
grow spontaneously through this coun-
try. Business of every kind and char
acter seems prosperous, and the people
all are socially inclined. Let one come
here either for health or otherwise, and
everybody tries to make him feel as
pleasant as possible.
Todupe the sick would be worse than
robbing on the highway. I will, there.
fore, give u short catalogue of diseases,
to the cure of which the Blanchard
Springs are adapted: Cutaneous affec-
tions, and scrofula in its worst form,
where ulcers had formed, are cured by
bathing a remarkably short time.

We are gratified to learn that almost
every farmer in the parish is planting
more corn this year than for several
years past. Oats have been pretty
generally planted in the hills, and the
stand is reported good in almost every
instance. In few years, we hope,
many of our farmers will find it more
profitable to move their smokehouses
as we'll as corn cribs from the Vest

enemy's boldness indicated desire to force battle and general engagement was only prevented through General Wo1seley's disin- clination to push forward until further rein forced. It was the most determined demon stration that has been made by Arabi's forces since the battle of Kassassin. It looks and proves conclusively that their number is larger that General Wolseley has heretofore believed. Arabi's continued activity and his desire to bring on a battle have disconcerted the plans of the British commander and it Is believed he will adopt defensive policy for the present, at least unless forced to fight. The general impression however, is that 8 great battle will soon take place.
 The enemy continues to display unusual activity and boldness. This morning several bodies of Egyptian troops appeared within the British lines before their presence was known, but were soon put to flight. One in- dividual had even penetrated within the inner line of earthworks before he was seen, en- gagged in spiking field piece. He was rid dled with bullets. The latest reports through sources deemed reliable place Arabi's force at 45, 900 infantry, IS, 700 cavalry and 33, GOO Bedouins, all we'll armed and trained
 General Wolseley leaves two regiments to form the garrison of this place. Arabi has flooded the country around Fazazig.
 ALEXANDRIA,, Sept. 7.-The murderer of the Englishmen Dobson and Richard son was hanged at 7 o'clock this morning by the native police. He was conducted from the prison through the town, escorted by detachment of Eng fish troops, who formed square round the ga'lows. The condemned man walked in a defiant manner. Several hundred Europeans witnessed the execution, but few natives were present. When the troops had withdrawn, however, the Arabs came out in larger num- bers.
 CoNsTANT1NoPLE, Sept. "A difficulty has arisen in regard to the formal signature of the Angl Turkish military convention. Lord Dufferin objects to several phrases in the Sultan's proclamation against Arabi as being different from the terms employed in the original draft. He has referred the matter to Lorn Granville for instructions.
