FROM EUREKA SPRINGS.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
EUREKA SPRINGS, Ark, July %.
Eureka Springs is a town of6 900
inhabitants, in the very heart of
the pine-clad Ozarks, 1900 feet
above st. Louis and clearer, purer,
more balmy mountain air can no
where be found. The main avenue
ofthe town. is Spring street, winding
in and out and around the noun
tain ,shelf-life and on it are many of
the famous springs. At its base,
right opposite the post-office iss'The
Basin" Two streams of water are
conveyed in pipes, gushing out of
rocks in the side of a great noun
tain, covered with a dense growth
of pines, cedars, oaks with wild
vines over them-a veritable forest
scene, while right across the street
is a busy city. The Southern and
Perry Hotels are situated on
either side of this spring, built
right into the rocky sides of the
mountain. In the evening, here
at the"basin" congregate hundreds,
side-by-side with the city bellies,
and the home-spun natives
are represented St. Louis, Fit.
Smith, Dallas, Austin and other
cities. The scene is varied and
interesting, illuminated with gas
and enlivened with music, while
the amusement, par excellence, is
drinking water; and every one
carries away a bucket, bottle or
cup of the crystal beverage, and so
the evening passes.
On the summit of the mountain
is "The Crescent" a magnificent
hotel, built of Eureka stone and
in most beautiful style of architec-
ture, with grounds exquisitely laid
out in blue grass and flowers and
a deer park for the children's es-
pecial pleasure. The sun is warm,
but a delightful breeze blows con-
stantly and the nights are cool and
delightful. One cannot wonder
that the invalid is restored back to
health in this bracing air. The
town is full of people all parts of
of the country are represented, but
the visitors are mainly from Texas
to get pure water. Many beautiful
places Of resort are near blythe
Narrows," Pivot Rock, Roaring
River, ETC., which are patronized
in drives and rides almost daily.
Horseback riding is greatly in
dulged in and many fine rides are
had. st. Louis is well represented
at"The Crescent" while at the
Perry is the pretty Miss F., Of Fl.
Smith, and Miss D., of Kansas,
City. Mesdames E., of Springfeld,
Mo-, are beautiful women, as is
also Mrs. L., of st. Louis, who has
a cottage here. But above all is
the grandeur of the Ozarks and
their fine scented air and pure
water NJ

corning base ball and the theatre:
There are many professions now.

one. There are professional

strange coincidence when the pic

pear in st. Louis show windows at

was here some time ago to desc
crate and destroy the Sabbath; the
