Noticing the shiftless system OF cultiya-

Curious Discovery of Medicinal Springs.

Is travelling in Arkansas, writes that at
Eureka Springs it was my good fortune
to meet Col Boudinot, whose father was
an Indian chief OF the Cherokees. and in
conversation with him he related the in

springs For long time their virtues
had been know To the Indians, but they
kept the knowledge profound secret 1t
was left for the Yankee mind to discover
and appropriate their commercial value.
An Eastern man afflicted with sore eyes
visited the land Of the Cherokees, and one
lay CHANGED TO bathe his eyes In the cool
Ing water of spring 1t seemed TO give
him relief, and for several days the pro-
cess was repeated. He found after a few
weeks of the treatment that his eyes were
completely cured. Then followed the
Yankee acuteness. He bottled up the
spring water and sold it 70 the whites for
miles around. His eye water became fa-
nous, and he realized quite a sum from
its disposal But finally his secret was
discovered, and the springs became com

hung with handmade lace curtains that
cost small fortune. Three sides of the

OF the ceiling depends a massive gilded
chandelier with numerous bronze statu-

MITCHELL's HARD KNOCKS.
Senator Mitchell was one of the shining
lights of the recent session, but this does
not alter the fact he has seen some pretty
hard luck in his day. The Senator is
nearly 90 years OF age, and weighs about
100 pounds. He is good specimen of the
self-made men, who are undoubtedly the
best element in the country. His hard
Knocks came in his youthful days, but his
indomitable pluck and energy soon
brushed aside all the obstacles in his
path on the road to fame and fortune.
When he was quite young he went TO Cali
fornia and started life by opening a law
Office in little town called San Luis
Obispo. Before many days he found out
that If he expected to practice law In that
town he would have to learn the Spanish
language or go where they spoke Eng
lish. After debating for some time he de-
cided on the latter course and went TO San
Francisco. where he remained some
time, undecided whether he should go to
Nevada, which was one of the I'll Dora
dos OF the West on account OF the gold
discovery, or to Oregon. He finally de-
cided upon Oregon, and left San Francis
co on July 4, 1860, with the mauiticent
sum OF $52 in his pocket He stopped at
Portland and put up at hotel which, at
that time, charged 500 week. Realizing
that he could not stay there long at that
rate he opened law office. When he de-
cided on that move he had only So left, but
the proprietor of the hotel said he would
trust him for his board. so he hired
small room for an office that did not have
a stick of furniture in it. A friend of his
gave him couple of chairs. He tried to
get trusted for a table, put the furniture
dealer, after hearing his story, told him
they did not do business that way, and he
was allowed the use OF desk In the adj
joining office. His S. he spent for the
statutes of Oregon, and this constituted
his whole library. He hung out his
shingle, and by the end OF the year he had
twenty-six out of the tifty-two cases that
came before the courts. His practice in
creased steadily, and it was not long be-
fore he was making $40, ,000a year.
