Notes of a Flying Tour Through the Al- leghenies—Bancful Effects of Dilapida- tion and Bad Management—Remarka- ‘ble Spas and Wonderful Cures. JOURDAN ALUM SPRINGS, RecksRipGE Counry, Va., August 25, ora} ‘Leaving the White Sulphur Springs the day after the conflagration there, an account of which was given in my last. letter, I proceeded on a tour to Several of the watering places lying near and con+ ‘Uguons to that jamous resort. My stay at each was brief, While some of them could boast ofa fair and probably paying company, it was, nevertheless, vividly apparent that they were all suffering trom ‘an attack of the general debility and falling of, consequent upon that disease at the White Sul- Phur, to which they are in some degree tribu- tary and dependant for a supply of visitors. ‘The great mob of summer tourists to the Virginia mountains invariably rendezvous at the White Bulphur, where, after a brief sojourn, during which consultations are held and parties formed, they @epart, under separate leadership, for their favorite watering places, ana settle down for the remainder of the season in the cool enjoyment of quiet social intercourse. Coming east by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad six miles, 1 take a stage at Alleghany station, and a ride of eleven + miles brings me to the Sweet Chalyneate Springs, on ‘the very border of the Vid Dominion, AS COSEY AND CHARMING g@resort as there isin the whole country. This Place has the advantage of being under the same management as the White Sulphur, so that visit- ors here are supplied with swphur water as well as the calcic-chalybeate of the spring here. Jt abounds: in substantial looking matrons, alder- manic looking old gentlemen, babies, baby car- Fiages, black nurses, misses in their teens, with. a sprinkling of marriageable young ladies, and alto- gether has a homelike attraction for the wanderer. Like the great White Sulphur it thrives sluggishly on the natural beauties of the place and the specific exhilarating effect of its water; but like that place, too, it meeds an iniusion of energy and liberality into its | Management to make it a success. A few hundred yards westward and you are inthe new State of West Virginia, and one mile further down the Sweet Springs valley brings you to the Old Sweet Springs, in Monroe county, perhaps SHE MOST FASHIONABLE AND ARISTOCRATIC MOUN- TAIN RESORT tm this region. it is situated in avalley exceed- Sugly rich and picturesgue in its scenery; the Buildings are of brick, large, spactous and well- constructed, consisting of @ semicircular row of cottages one quarter of a mile in extent, allof them radiating to the Spring building in the eeatre, which isa unique structure, with turrets, dooking very like a military armory. There is an elegance and refinement visible in the gociety here, without any gaudy display, that at once strikes the observer, and I found @mong the guests representatives of many of the most historic and wealthy tamilies of the South. Lest this place should be classed with the White | Sulphur in the character of its appointments, 1 | would mention that the rooms are neatly fitted | with black walnut cottage furniture, incinding | ‘Wardrobes; the floors are plainly carpeted, tne | mirrors are good and the attendance (negroes) tolerable, the latter being under the strictest | supervision, and cleanliness is made the first quali- | | | | | | | cation of a table waiter. Here too, however, there was a marked decline in the annual as- gemblage of visitors, which, as I said before, is im part, or perhaps mainly, owing to the growing unpopularity of the White Sulphur. Until the latter is either sold er undergoes a most vigorous process of recon- | struction the falling off im visitors to the mountams will increase yearly. I reter the reader to the table below, showing as near as possible the } estimated decrease from lust year ateach of the springs I have visited. Returning to Alleghany station | took the cars to Covington, about twenty | ies east, irom whence | staged it to the group of | rings known as the Hot, the Healing and the | Warne springs, lying avout twenty miles in a north- | westerly direction. These three watering piaces | ©an with the greatest propriety be callea | THE HOSPITALS OF THE ALLEGLUENIES. | ‘They are especiaily visited by invalids of every eoncelvabie description, and the waters of each of | them have proved their efficacy in the cures of | every degree and form of malady known to medi- | calecience. ‘Ihe waters or the Healing, the first | you come to, are said to be identical wita those of the iamous Schiagenbad and Eins, of Germany, in their chemical analysis; the temperature ts tepid | and they stand alone on the Continent on the con- nes of cold and warmth, which gives them ad- | Vantages of no ordinary character. Everybouy praised the bath as the most delightful, and though | a@m-ority ot the visitors had some special all- meut of their own, I found here quite an interesting, gay and fashionable company, though not numerically as great as in jormer years, Pass- ing up the beautiui valley that lies at the ba: the Warm Springs Mountain, a distance of three miles, you arrive at THE HOT SPRIN ‘which are as famons in Virginia as the same springs of that name io Arkansas are tn the United states. | Here were numbers of Wealthy maimed and halt, | mostly rheumatic crippies, bat none blind, ail of thei seemingly ina stage of advanced conval cence, and most ol them Wearing smiles on visages Witch had been twisted and daistortea by periods of great suffering and agony. It was | @ Metter of surprise to me that thts place was vot | more eXiensively advertised, and it iurnished an additiona! provi of the lack of Yankee “push? and energy inthis grand summer region of Vir- nia. Just tamk of a hot spout of water shoot- fig up from the bowols of the earth, which keeps a bath ata temperature of 110 degrees Fanrenneit, said to be the hoviest path in the world. The ‘water rises in some of the baths from the floor at @ temperature of 100 degrees, highly charged With carvouic acid, niirogen, oxygen and | sulphuretted hydrogen evs, which, bursiing on the suriace in bubbles, gives it the appearance of | sparkling champaigne, and tt has a buoyancy that 4s remarkuble and an exhilarating effect that is astonishing. I only make mention of these won- @erful springs, which have performed miracles of cures, for the iniormation of tho thousands of | afmiicted Americans who expend enormous sums anuually on quacks and patent medicines that | only covduce to hasten them to early graves. Five | Sniles further along this beautilul valley lie | THE WARM SPRING! { from which it takes its name. Walids here than at any of the otner spring: though the waters aso possess great curative | properties. The bath is luxurious, the springs | nestle ina charming littic bend 0; the valley, the e@cenery is rugged and grand beyond conception, the climate ts saluprious, and | think for quiet un- alloyed comfort and retired enjoyment, alter the | fatigues and dust and din of a great city, the place {8 unsurpassed, Our great country Ww represented in the company, tor think there were visitors here from section of it, which gives | the arm” some clatins as a national resort, ore yety there was, too, and more courting and fivt- fy and more vigorous dancing, than at either ot the neighboring springs "st mentioned; for all of which I liked it much betier. But, like the others, At suffers in the lack of its usual throng of visitors, and has to bear its share of the banetul effect pro- duced by the chronic decline and dilapidation of the White Sulphur Springs and the suicidal policy of the owners of that property. On my way here 1 passed a very pretty and agreeable littie resort known as the Bath Alum Springs, whichis of the same class of watering = ‘as the Healing, Hot and Warm, but where I id not have time to stop. For the first time in the mountains of Virginia I found quarters which will compare favorably with any of the leading hotels in New York at THE JOURDAN ALUM SPRINGS. ‘This is entirciy a new place, last year being the rst season it was open, and then in an untin- ished state. The buildings are new, handsome and commodious, the lack walnut furni- ture. very neat and tasty, the floors are comfortably carpeted, two gas burners, which consume actual gas, are in every root he most modern bedsteads, with hair mattre: sheets of ure, snowy white Irish linen, and comfortable lankets and covers; bathroom attached to every room, with hot and cold water, and electric enun- , diators to the main office, by which you can sum- mon & servant in @ few seconds. The uppoint- ments are the most perfect I have ever seen at a watering place and bear a striking contrast to the tumble-down, rotten old piny lurniture at the Tae White Sulphur Springs, the leading place im the mountains, It isan actual luxury to stay | brick alch over a grave was in 1890, | two years of age and is the father of a child only | two mafesiic Matrons, have each been the mothers Nere @ day or two aiter °° sojourn of & week ab the Greenbrier White, and | / confirmed by the entire sea- coasisting of por- panies of the First Virginia regt- ment, from Richmond, with their accoutrements, Boapsacks, camp equipages, and WEARING THR GRAY, marched in here to go into camp for a week. ‘They were accompanied by a very fine regimental bané, loge! her presented a very martial ap- pearance, Pxig!”’ Was the music, the marching excelient, the men soldier like gid gallant, the ta- des brave, fair and handkerch! aying, Visitors and soldiers cheering, colors fying, thé darkey gervants silent spectators; but the weather was damp, pee the enthusiasm was not ‘“un- bounded.” The veteran ex-Confederates, tn their bran new unilorms, stacked arms, swigged whis- key, 01 which they had a fuli supply, from their can- teens. and then proceeded to put up tueir tents in regular military order, and this done the weary Warriors either went to sleep, played cards or stroiled about, and the event of the day was over.

History of the Settlement=The Antique Breed of Ponies and its Origin—“Pen- ning Day”—Railroad and Steamship Connections=The Advance of Civiliza- tion. CHINCOTEAGUE, Accomac county, nent August 25, 1874, ‘The other day there was an informal conference of a few railroad men here—Amos Y. Smith, John Hickman and Jacob Moore, of Delaware, and W. T. Fitchell, of Eastville, Va. The-road from George- town, Del., to Berlin, Md., will be completed by the 1st of September. Thence it ts proposed to finish it to Cherrystone, passing through Snow Hill ana Horntown. Horntown ts the. post office directly communicating by water with Chincoteague, and the completion of the railroad to that point will give it daily mall facilities. The object of the con- ference was to quicken measures for filling up the gap from the line of Accomac county, Virginia, to Snow Hill, Md., which cannot be done under the charter granting the Frankfort Railroad, but it can be under the charter of the New York and Norfolk Raiiroad. On the 12th of September next ‘A GENERAL ELECTION will ve held in the counties of Accomac and North. ampton to vote on the proposition of a donation of $20,000 from Accomac and $10,000 from North- ampton for purchase o1 right of way. Itis quite | apparent that the vote will be overwhelmingly in favor of the donation. The completion of the road will give a great stimuius to local trade and freightage to the larger markets further north, It will also make this terra incognita, almost, ac- cessible to travellers, and every way more valuable. ¥ + CONNECTIONS WITH CIVILIZATION. It may also be stated as a fact that the Old Do- minion Steamship Company wu place a steamer this fallon the Chincoteague Bay to gather oys- ters and impart anew impulse to this branch of commerce. The Old Dominion Company have com- pleted the purchase of the railroad from Harring- ton to Lewes, Del., known a8 the Junction and Breakwater Ratlroad, and they propose to puton a new line of steamers rom Lewes to New York. It is very easy to see the advantages to the New York market in this arrangement, and much en- Jargement to the fish and oyster commerce of this section. A BIG BREACHING PARTY. Mr. English, proprietor of the Atlantic Hotel, wili entertain on the 27th of this month a beach party of 300 people from Baltimore, lower Maryiand | and allaround, Their tents and pavilion will be erected on Wallop’s Island, off the beach a half | mile irom here. Wallop’s Island is without a hu- mau habitation and without an interesting item of history, THE ANNUAL PENNING of the ponies tor the purposes of sale and brand- ing took place on the 18th inst. The King of Chin- coteague, Kendall Jester, came in first with about “ui{ty head of critters,’”? as the native islandexs cali the ponies, and by three o'clock at least 250 were in the pen. The sale was a stow one, not more than a dozen all told being disposed’ of, and at prices averaging some $60. ‘The owners are evi- dently a littie excited on the subject of the market value of these animals, and are holding them too high for the purposes of speculators. ‘Lhe origimal stock from which these ponies sprung held possession of this isiana before tb was trodden by human feet. It is behleved wrecked along the Shetland ponies, and that some of them swam ashore, They have been inter- mixed witu imported blood, nowever, and now only bear resemblance to the real Shetland pony im the fact that they are small, Some ot them are very handsome aud they are full of spirit and fire. | drove one to a suiky on the beach ata gait inside of 3:45, and without the slightest tratn- ing. They run wild on tne isiand. Very few are ever broken to harness, and in no instance do they ever taste a mouthiulofgrain, King Jester had a mare in his drove from whicn he has sold $1,100 worth of colts, none over and most of them at rates much less than $100 aptece. After the colts had been branded oe were again turned loose to roam and teed at will over the entire island, Al- together there are some 600 of them, HISTORY OF THE ISLAND. This tsland, as near as cap be made out, was set- tled about 120 years ago, Joshua Whealton of Wales, the Joneses from Scotiand, the Tunnels, Hills and Conners were among the first settlers. One of the oldest settlers, a Guinea negro by the name of Ocker Brinuey, died here in 1508 at the age of 100 years, He was first landed at the Rhode Island slave mart, and was bronght to the ‘Eastern Shore” by one Captain Taylor, who sent him over to this Island to look after stock. He could never be civilized, and was tattooed all over. In 1850 there were only 500 inhabitants here. The first marble slab erected in @ burying ground was to Eva Whealtoh, who died tn 1854, and the first Previous to that time the “inhabitants of the silent city’? were very lucky even if they had a wooden post to mark their graves. Tbe oldest white man on the island is Captain James Burch, He is eighty - eleyen months old. 1t Is a piace, by life of children, the way, pro- Mrs, Williams ani Mrs. Tita Hill, of seventeen children, and old Joshua Whealton was the father of twenty-one boys and girls, A log school house was built in 1835, It is now torn down, The frst church was built in 1853.

THERE IS NOT MUCH LAW business here. ‘The local magistrate can warrant up to $50, Beyond that a case must goto court, and the nearest court house is at Drummond, thirty miles away. ‘The expense deters the people from the law.

If the citizens ef South Norwalk, Conn., had not been fully apprised of the fact that the eighth | @Qnualclambake of the “Fat Men's Assoctation’’ ‘Was to be held yesterday at Gregory's Point, near their peaceim homes, it {8 certain that the spec- tacle which they were treated yestermorn would have been a startling one. Commencing about ume o’eh fat men rolled tuto Norwalk from al! points of the adjacent universe. Some came in Wagons, which creaked into the town in & | lopsided condition, The horses attached te these | Wagons tried hard to ges through their collars, and had thetr eyes starting from their heads, , Other fat men came by train, from Bridgeport, | from Danbury, ‘rom New Haven, ‘rom scattering rural points and from New York.

Some were tail, big boned, and had {t all over them: others were thin in the face, rather delicate in the legs, aud had tt only in one place—the only place, in fact, where they could stomach tt. And there were some that were hike balls, gracefully rounded in every direction. Every man was goo¢ natured in the exact ratto of his stoutness. They shook hands | cordially, noticed that they were severally falling of, and then climbed mimbly into the conveyances, In ho mstance was it necessary to use a rope and tackle or take off a carriage door, One thing was | chiefly noticeabie: every fat man respected the GRAVITY OF THE OCCASION and was conscious that he was engaged ip @& demonstrauon of some weight. AS We rattled over the bridge and out dh the | dusty road that leads to Gregory’s Point the wind shifted and there was borne toward us the odor of baking clams. The fat men brightened up, ree marked “An:"’ in that peculiarly long urawn and | expressive manner for witch they are famous, and sank back again into the creasy depths of their adiposity. There 1s something in the odor of a clam which power‘ully affects a man who weighs | over 200 pounds, The fragrant breezes that have toyed with the spice groves oi Ceylon may not move him, but his inner depths are stirred wnen .
