A BATH HOUSE.


Yet so powsrful is it that it is said if an
old drunkard who is picked through and
through in alcohol be put into bath and
Kept few minutes and then taken out, the
water will be quite black with the impurities
that have been soaked out of him.
Besides the springs that are leased, there
is one very large one, called "Mud Hole, /"
which is free to the public. Black, white
and mulatto get into the muddy water tc-
gether, and remain as long as they like.
1t is the resort of the poor, who here, for
once in their lives, get a bath.
Another peculiar spring is called "Corn
Hole" Here ladies and gentlemen Of the
highest walks of society in separate COM
partments sit about with their feet in the
hot mud and water for the very unpoetical
purpose Of soaking their corns of. The pro-
cess IS remarkably successful. Bathing in
the Hot Springs waters induces profuse
perspiration: Liver and kidney troubles are
alleviated. The sick man seems Of ten to be

are desirable for their business The springs
are open the year around. February is

them, on account of the rainy season. It is
hot too, in midsummer. Hotel accommo-

The government is building handsome
and costly new hospital here for sick army
and navy men. 1t is not yet completed. A
better spot for United States hospital could
not have been selected for the Hot Springs

waters in the United States. There is some
thing very peculiar about the waters. They
are not strongly impregnated with minerals.
Some lime, silica, very little iron, carbonic
acid and salts of soda, potash and magnesia,
very small quantities of each are found on
analysis. The fluid is mostly pure hot
water.

Greeley, or any other Republican parti-

Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York:
DEAR SIR desire, through you, to
thank the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York for the promptness
with which they paid over To me the
sum of Ten Thousand Dollars, that be-
ing the amount for which the life of my
late husband, John Il. Strous. was in
sured in your company. Though only
insured for the short space of eight
months, they paid the entire sum before
the expiration of sixty days. which is
seldom done. l cannot find words to
express my feelings of gratitude to you
for inducing my husband to take out n
policy, thereby providing for myself, his
aged mother, and four little children.
| hope you may succeed in persuading
every married man in taking apolicy,
SO that if it should please Providence to
call the father and husband. he could
die easier, knowing he was not leaving
his helpless family depending on stran-
gers.
Sincerely wishing the Mutual Life In
surance Company of New York all the
success it deserves, l am yours. most re-
spectfully, MARGARET j. STRoUs.

The Daily Ne,rs of Munich tells a
story illustrative of the very queer
freaks OF the late mai King of
Bavaria. He had an excellent rdIet de
chGmbre, whose services he had priced
greatly, bnt who one day committed
some petty fault that threw the quick
tempered monarch into such tempest
of fury that he beat him with his fists
and said Get out l do not want ever
To see your face again." The man went
as rapidly as he could. Then the King
had succession of Wallets, each one of
whom seemed worse, more stupid and
incompetent than his predecessor, until
the King was frantic all the time. The
Baron Schneider. chief of the palace.
urged him to take his old valet back
again, but he refused on the ground that
his dignity would not permit him to do
50, when he had said he wished never to
see the mans face again. The baron
had happy idea. ''Very well, your
Majesty" he said. "you need not see
his face again. We will make a blacka-
moor of him." To that the King gave
his assent chserfully. and thereafter.
until his death, he was faithfully served
by an apparent negro, who was, how
ever, in reality native of Munich. his
old white valet.

ses to perform that duty pleasantly for
the organization that kept and planted
Volusia county so solidly in the Demo-
cratic column two years ago. There lis n
larger Democratic majority in the
county to-day than the majority given
two years past, and the only hope for a
Republican victory this fall lis the ulti-
mate success of al. \. Tanner and his
sore-heads to split the Democratic party,
and upon them Will such a responsibility

dered valiant work for their party in this
