noT Springs, Arkansas, >
Garland County July 17th 1873. >
Editors Times; Since writing to
you iu June, there has been nothing
of importance transpiring along the
valley. For* several days past we
have had clear, hot and dry weather;
and it may seem strange to one who
Iras never visited these springs, the
idea of one’s drinking hot water, when
the thermometer is ranging from 06
to 08 degrees in the shade; but this is
really so; «e not only learn to drink,
but wc learn to love it; and wc think
from experience, that this hot water
is quailed down with a better relish,
and more eagerly sought after, than
ever cool ice water is with you in the
month of August. To give your read
ers araore thorough description of each
spring, or at least the most noted
ones, together with many other things
connected with them; I will com
mence by saying, the tiret tiling in the
morning (between the hours ot lour
and six) may be seen invalids from
the various public and private board-
houses, repairing to the. bath
houses or springs along the valley,
with stick and cup in hand. Some
may be seen walking at a rapid pace,
while others with crutches, are seen
hobbling or dragging along; while
others, men, women and children,
may be seen in gocart9 or rollinj
chairs; while we often see others that
have to be carried in and out. Younj
tnen and old men, fat men and lean
men, together with women and chil
dren, may be seen early in the morn
ing, all seem to ho aiming, not for the
same point but lor the same purpose,
and this the bath.
The custom or rule at some of these
bath houses arc to register ou a slate
as soon as you arrive at the bath
house and wait your turn, as the
grass boys did when I was a mill boy.
but here this rule is not always ad
hered to strictly, it is often the case
that some wily or wide awake watch
er, is seen to steal, or try to steal a
march on sonic one of his neighbors,
who arc entitled to a bath before hirn-
self. This very often gets up a little
quarrel, or sharp words between the
parties; the proprietors attention be
ing called to the matter, he comes for
ward and iu most cases, these little
differences are settled in an amicable
manner. Here wc come to the bath
rooms, together with the tubs which
are in the most instances large and
roomy, and are for the most part kept
clean. Wo find a short bench which
we take a scat on, while wall hooks
are convenient to hang our dry goods
, we also fiud a thermometer
sand glass, the former being used to
tell when your baths are too hot
too cold, while the latter is used to
measure the time you should remain
in the hath. It just requiring three
minutes for this sand to run out.—
These together with your Ral cane
and cup, the latter filled with hot
ter, constitute the articles of your bath
room. We find I wo faucets, one is
used for letting in hot water, the oth
er for wliat. is called cold water, it
having been once hot water, runs into
vats where it is allowed to cool off.—
This is often above ninety-two degrees.
It is drawn into the tub with the hot
water; by this menus one can temper
the water ns they wish. The ba'hs
usually recommended range from 1)0
to 100 degrees. Vapor baths are also
attached to the water baths, and the
usual custom of invalids, is to take
first a water bntb, which requires usu
ally from three to fifteen minutes, the
apor bath is next resorted to. These
rc produced by having vats filled
witli hot water, from which vapors as
cend through a lattice lloor, into the
vapor bath room, which with the ex
ception of ihc floor, is as near air
light as they can be made. They arc
connected with the bath room, only a
door separating ouc from the other.
Is resorted to by a certain class of in
valids, and so far as location is con
ed it has no superior. Its crystal
like water, rise near the Rector hotel,
and is conveyed by a tin tube, fifteen
or twenty feet long, into a back pas
sage of the Rector house. Here one
with a Ral cup in hand can lake a
seat iu the entry,’where it is unusually
cool and sip tbe red hot water before
the gases are allowed to escape, while
it is yet pure from the fountain head.
This is quite n treat, and one that has
often been indulged in by the writer.
I have heard it remarked and 1 know
it to be so by experience, that after
one is here for a while, and becomes
accustomed to using thi» water, that
it is preferable to coffee or tea, when
*t can be had pure And hot, before the
;ase» are allowed to escape. The wa-
ers are free for any aud every one to
drink wherever they are touud. The
next spring that 1 would call your at
tention to is a hundred and twenty-
five or a hundred aud fifty yards far
ther up the slope, northeast of the
Maguesia spring. 1 suppose its height
is a hnudred and fifty or a hundred
and seventy-five feel above the level
of the valley. 7 bis is one among the
largest atul hottest springs that arc
found here, aud is called the sulphur
and iron spring. It is dug out two or
two anti half feet deep, and three or
four feet square, having a wooden
curl> around it, with a covering on top,
xccpt a small space in front, of ten or
welvc inches, which is left open.—
This spring is said to cook an egg in
tittccn minutes, though the experi
ment I have never tried, yet I am led
to believe that it must be true, judging
from the quantity of egg shells that
hears of the many wonderful cures
that has been made by the waters of
this pool. As it is said by many, that
the we*ere of this pool have a more
powerful and speedy effect on many
disease* than other water here, as it is
only a few feet from where these
springs rise, to where they empty into
the pool. The argument is, that one
gets into this water before the gasses
arc allowed to escape, and that if there
are any virtues, or medicinal proper
ties about these waters, that fhev can
arc seen' scattered arbuud. This
spring rises on a dead level or a plat
eau like spot, and the large bubbles
may be seeu rising from the bottom,
in quick succession, while the gases
are continually escaping. This ie
more perceptible early iu tlie morning
than at any other time during the day
These craggy rocks together with the
natural growth, the o^k, the pine, the
buckthorn and cedar help to beautify
aud adorn this group of thermal
springs. There js also several minor
springs in close proximity to this one,
be had here. It is very reasonable to
suppose that where these waters arc
u« by troughs, for fifty to one hundred
. ar.ls, that some of the gases or min
eral is allowed to escape. Along this
ridge rises several other' springs, tlie
crystal like waters of which are am
id to the numerous balli houses
below. A little way down the slope

Rheumatism bath, which is some
smaller, aud the water several degrees
hotler than the Ral hole or piol further
up the slope. This is dug out on the
same principle, ani I suppose it to be
eight feetwquare, and 12 or 14 inches
deep. Only a few short pieces of plauk
and a few stones constitute its
arrangements and comforts for the
bathers to rest their weary and ach
ing limbs on while bathiug.|Mud bath,

The J ournalist.
There is a man who sits far into the
night with paste pot and scissors be
fore him, and pencil in hand, while
around him are piled newspapers of
all grades, sizes, colors and political
proclivities, and from almost every con
ceivable locality. He rapidly cuts,
pastes and writes. Instinctively be
rejects all that is bad, and his eye de
tects all that is good iu the nooks and
corners of the scores of “exchanges’’
which pass through his hands in a few
houiS.
It'he remembered one tenth of all
he reads he would t»c a prodigy of va
ried learning and by and by he would
probably find himself in a lunatic
asylum- Then he varies the wearri-
sornc routine l»y writing; not slowly
and laboriously, but rapidly, discur
sively and sometimes brilliantly.
What he does, he does not just as he
pleases, but ns a daily and unmending
task.* Every night ns he creeps home
ward iu the small hours, the subject
of the next “leader” creeps through
bis tired brain, and in the morning
the necessity for immense action stares
him in the face. # Why these late hours
and this silent, careful absorbing work?
This man is the editor of a daily pa
per, aud every night he and his corn-
companions are preparing the literary
breakfast for a sleeping world. It is
a strange life he leads, and a strange
world he works in- He wields a pow
er in the land, but, contrary to gener
al rule, bo is almost an unknown man.

some of which are called the bubling
or boiling springs, while others the
mud springs. Invalids often procure
this mud from the bottom of these
springs and bind it to some particular
joint or joints with towels and it is
said to have proven very beneficial in
many instances. It is said that the
temperature of this water is heightened
several degrees in dry weather, wheth
er this dry weather occurs iu winter oc
curs in winter or in summer, while
wet weather decreases tbe heat, but
tbe rain docs not add perceptibly to
the volume of hot water. There has
been various speculations in regard to
the cause of the intense heat of the
waters. Some writers attribute it to
one thing and some to another, but as
it is a mere speculating bmiucss. I
will uot give their opinions. The
water that rises from these thermal
springs is as clear*as crystal, and to
see the water as it empties from the
trough into tlio vats, one that did not
know, must think that it is nitc aud
cool. Some mornings there may be
seen a dense log or vapor rising ‘from
these springs which envelopes the
mountain and valley, aud everything
is hid from view, except at short sight.
There is nothing that I can compare
them to. or that so much resembles
the appearance of these springs, as a
large kettle of water just before it be
gins to boil. Along down the slope
in a westerly direction sevtqty-fivc or
a hundred yards from ibis large
spring, wc find what is known, and
almost universally called here, the old
Ral hole. This pool or hole has been
recently given a more Christian name
aud has been called the pool Qf Rethes-
da. This pool or Ral bole as it
known here by tbe latter name, is I
or twelve feet square and is tifteeu to
eighteen inches deep, without any
curb whatever around its sides, and
nothing at the bottom to rest the feet
on except mother earth and stones,
with a tew rude scats or planks to sit
on, together with a few boards that
are propped against a pole ou the west
side to keep off the direct fays pf the
sun. This together with tlie natural
efitted and often cured here. This bath
is kept filled by one or more small
spriugs that boil up in the bottom ot
it. Ji is also said to be capital foi re
moving corns, from the feet. This hath
has its share of bathers* many come
here to bathe because they have uot
the means to paj the prices demanded
at the bath houses; aud others come
because their neighbors come. West-
wardly from thi3 bath 50 or 75 feet wc
eotue u<miu to tbe creek, along which
on the Ear tern bu.uk, or uuder the
sides of the bluff, are fouud several of
these springs varying in size and tem
perature. The large iron spring of
which I spoke in my former commu
nication, is found just iu the edge of
this creek on the eastern side. This is
said to be the largest of the hot springs.
This is a great resort for both, ladies
aud gentleman, it bciug easy of access.
They are often seen silling in groups,
on the rocks or formation infrout
of litis spring, anti which extends iuto
the creek. Here they sit with Ral cup
iA hand, and sip this rtfd hot water
bile it is yet pure trora the fountain
head. This spring is noted lor its large
olunics of water, which is seen ris-
g at all times of tlie day. The wa
ters of lids spring are conducted up
and down the valey, two of tlie bath
houses being supplied with water from
this spring. A few paces north of this
Iron spring, is found what is called the
•priug. This spring is a medi-
i and its waters are said to be
of great benefit, to those who suffci
with any derangement or torpidity of
the liver. The truth of which I can-
uot vouch fur. It may be well for
so that are interested here, to have
ious names for these waters, even
if their properties were all Ihc same.

these waters :

a standiug posture, while other
baths are so constructed as to allow
the invalid to sit dowu, while he is en

to remain out but tlie head. Here the
bather is allowed to rctuaiu from one
to three minutes which produces a
heavy perspiration; if allowed to re

take charge of your blankets aud tow
els, or render any assistance one may
need, for which they ask a small com
pensation. Jn my former communi
cation I did not particularize these
spriujs, ns I wish to do in this, or at
least some ot the most prominent ones.
Tbe first spring that l shall speak ot
is fouud on the northern extemity ol
the slope, near the foot of the moun
tain, only a few paces from Hot
Springs creek, that winds its wav
along the valley, this is called the Ars-
nic spring, and is quite small. The
water is run through a qaiil which is
stuck in the rock or formation, that
over hangs this spring. This spring
is much resorted lo by the ladies, aud
ii is oftcu the case morning and even
ing,they may be seen congregated here
quaffing this thermal water. It is
said and generally be.ieved hy many
of the fair ones, that this water has a
tendency to heighten the complexion
and beautify the skin. Only a few
paces farther up the slope in a north-
i ast direction from the Arsenic, is
found what is called the Magnesia
pring. This spring is considerably
ltrger than the Arsenic. Judging
from the white sediment or deposits
of ths water, one is led to believe that
i- must be strongly impregnated with
Tbis*$*io$
growth that surrounds this pool, con-
This pool
titulo its chief ornaments,
is fed by two small streams, one
called not aud the other cold, but the
coldest one would be thought to be hot
by some, it being ftj or 100 dogi
while the hot one I suppose will range
from 120 to 130 degrees; which fotnis
a mean temperature of 105 to 115 de
grees. These springs are both small,
and are kept constantly feeding this
pool. Here may be seen at all times
if the «lay, but more especially morn
ing and evening, the halt, the lam 1
the blind, some with contracted c
crooked legs or arms, otheis with
.till’knee, ankle or arm. enlarged <
iwolen joints, neuralgia, gout, scrofu
lous taint or skin diseases, bulls, tu
mor* a.id enlarged glands, old sores,
yphiliiic affections, etc. It doe
seeni front a casual view of this group,
that here might be found all the ills
that flesh is heir to. AU aches and
pains, from whatever cause they might
have originated, are thought to be re
lieved here. T«* paint this picture a>
it really is, wc must say that the white
nan and the colored ’man are often
•ccn sitting together bathing their
feet aud legs, as every one has uudis-
*al hole; the magic like waters bcin^
free to all. Some immerse ihe whole
body, while others arc seen with their
feet ami legs up to their knees, while
another is seen with only a hand iu
the pool, which ii affected, some haul
ing off their shoes and socks, while
others are putting on ; everything
seems to move along quietly and har
monious.
While some of the party are listen
ing to a long yarn of bis neighbor,
oii.ers may be seen with Ral cup iu
hand eagerly quattling the thermal wa
ter which is caught from the trough
that feeds the pool, and during this
does work which only the man Itorn
to the task can succesufully perform.
In him are the necessary qualities of
skill, tact judgmeut, fair schollarship,
a large fund of curreut intelligence,
coolness, the capacity for rapid work
with few errors, and lastly that indefi-
uamble taleut for pleasing the many
and offending the few. and yet accom
plishing a specific atul often partisan
purpose! Journalism is a profession,
and the editor is strictly a profession-
To him belongs only the
kind of fame which pertains to profes
sional skill, even if he be famous at ail.
After years of skillful toil he is almost
uuknowu upon the street, and has the
credit he deserves only’ among his
equally unknown brethren of the press.
Indeed the great majority of the work
ers in the world’s most potent and ev
anescent literature are not known at
all.—Scarcely a man in all England
knows to a certainty who is tlie con
trolling spirit of tho London Times,
and there are few who care. In less
remarkable instances than that a
