[COMMUNICATED.] 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 fiud what is called the mud. or 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, so called from the fact of its having considerable soft mud at the bottom, into which the invalids bury llieir ach ing and painful limbs, where they arc allowed to remain teu or twenty min utes. It is said that this bath, has made many wonderful cures aud that old stubborn sores, rheumatism of the ankle, or knee joiuts, arc greatly ben- From the ¥swsas Ma-atine.] The J ournalist.

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.

Servants arc constantly iu waiting, to do the rub bing down or drying ofl> they also 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.
