Bob IngerSOlPs Idea of He'll.

Col. Bob Ingersoll delivered his new
lecture on "Hell' to a crowded audi
ence in New York last week. He said
the idea of hell was born of the twin
sisters, Revenge and Fear, and that the
American people were too brave to be-
lieve it. For himself he despised any
man who could believe in it. It was q
fraudulent and monstrous fable. Every
religion was the work of men, and the So
called sacred books were only the dis
tortion of the clergy. Any religion that
had to depend upon miracles was a
fraud, for the truth did not need the as
sistance Of superstition. 1t spoke for
itself. So far as dogma was killed lib
erty increased, and that liberty was as
sorting itself was proved by the fact that
he was allowed to speak on the subject.
He quoted passages from the Bible
which declared that there was hell,
and said no God ever wrote or dictated
any such nonsense. eff not to be-
ieve it was to consign me to hell, I will
eagerly go there and rejoice even in my
doom at my intellectual liberty in this
world"
He then entered into TRADE against
the Bible generally, and concluded by
saying that, when it was brought before
the bar of the nineteenth century. it
proved itself false and pernicious.

vogent Reasons for a Grand Success.

Conspicuous among the highest examples Of
success which the present century can show is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The record of its
triumphs over disease is to be traced in the
written Acknowledgements Of thousands who
have experienced it's benefcent effects, and the
evidence of its popularity is to be found in the
vast and growing demand for the article in
North and South America, Mexico, Guatemala,
the West Indies, Australia and Europe. The
reasons for it's unparalleled success are cogent
ones. The accumulated evidence of nearly
thirty years shows that it is certain remedy
for malarial disease, as we'll as it's surest pre-
ventive that it eradicates dyspepsia, constipa-
ton, liver complaint and nervousness, counter
acts a tendency to govt, rheumatism, urinary
and uterine disorders, that it imparts vgor to
the feeble, and cheers the mind while it invig-
CRATES the body.

Myths Are Butt Symbols of Truth.

As the scholar sees in the vain but beautiful
mytholOgies of the ancients the embodied ex-
pressions of the hungry human soul, blindly
cropping after the infinite, so the physician sees
in that popular myth of the sixteenth century
the fountain of perpetual health and youth
an expression of the longings of suffering hui
mainly for remedy that should forever pre-
vent the incurs1on of disease The wilds of
Europe were ransacked for this wonderful
fountain, and Ponce de Leon sought for it in
the cypress swamps and tangled everglades of
our sunny Florida. Men have searched for it
everywhere and anywhere, but it really is-in
the human body itself. The blood is the real
fountain of perpetual health and youth. Wheu
this source is corrupted, the painful and sor-
rOw-producing effects are visible in many
shapes. The multifarious forms i'll which it
manifests itself would form subjects upon
which might write volumes. But as all the
varied forms of disease which depend upon bad
blood are cured, or best treated, by such medi-
cines as take up from this fluid and excrete
from the system the noxious elements. it is not
of practical Importance that I should describe
each. For instance, medical authors describe
about fifty varieties of skin disease but, as
they all require for their cure very similar
treatment, it is of no practical utility to know
Just what name to apply to a certain form of
skin disease, so you know how best to cure it.
Then again, might go on and describe vari-
GUS kinds of scrofulous sores fever sores,
white swellings, enlarged glands, and ulcers of
varying appearance might describe how viru-
lent poison may show itself in various forms of
eruptions, ulcers, sore throat, bony tumors,
etc.; but, as all these various-appearing mani
festations Of bad blood are cured by uniform
means, I deem such a course unnecessary.
Thoroughly cleanse the blood, which is the
great fountain OF life and good digestion,
fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital strength, and
soundness of constitution, will all return to us.
Discovery and Purgative Pellets are pre-emi-
nently the articles needed. They are warrant

Anthonys fire, rose rash or erysipelas, ring
worms, pimples, blotches, spots eruptlons,
pustules, boils, carbuneles. sore eyes, rough
skin, scurf, scrofulous sores and swellings,
affections of the skin, throat and bones, and
ulcers of the liver, stomach, kidneys and lungs.

A Banquet for Ten Thousand Knights.

A project is on foot to give the grand
est banquet of modern times in Chicago
in August, 1880. tits long way ahead,
but not too soon to begin for an affair of
the ms gnitude of the entertainment in
question. It is to be upon the occasion
of the triennial meeting of the Knights
Templar of America, which is to take
place here at that time At the banquet
will be seated 10, 600 people, who are to
be served in all the elegance of the most
sumptuous feasts ever spread. The
meal is expected to cost something over
$50, 900, and no profits to the caterer.
The plan is to spread tables capable
of seating 100 each Of the Knights and
their friends upon the lake front, if the
weather is favorable, and if not, in the
Exposition building, which will have a
temporary annex IN order to make it's
capacity equal to the occasion. The
walters will number 1000, and be di-
vided into centuries and tens. Each
100 will be under centurion, and each
gang Of ten will be directed by head
waiter. Each table will in this way be
served by ten walters as promptly as
though it composed the entire banquet.
Most Of the food is to be put upon the
tables in domestic style, every tenth
man, for example, carving for his neigh
bors. Immense ranges will be built to
cook the food, which is to be frst-class
in every particular. Owing to the season
Of the year, fruits and ices will be a
prominent feature of the repast, but it
is said that 1900 fowls will lose their
heads to satisfy the cravings of the
knightly appetite for roasts, salads, etc.

Themost serious annoyance to which
our housewives are subject is the in

flies, DC. in the house, and ants and

To Cure Fish.

When sheep-head fish are plentiful
during the summer, they can be cured
in the sun so as to keep fresh for long
time. Split them down the back and
take out the entrails, then hang up in
the sun, by the tail, until quite dry.
Before cooking soak them for some
time in cold water, and then broil or
boil. a fish called stone bass " is
found in the West India waters, much
resembling the sheap-head, and they
are treated in this way and offered
for sale in the markets. Can not the
people of Indian river and the Cult
coast, who have this fish in superb
bundance, make an industry of this !?

Anew Cereal Discovered.

A new cereals said to have been
discovered in California, but we have
seen 80 nusb leeption in galmipg
off some old speces of millet as some
thing new and valuable, that we have
little confidence in these statements.
We give ii, however, for what it is
worth. The Ventura Free Press says
We have been shown new grain,
discovered about four years ago by
a farmer in Surprise Valley, in the
northern part Of California, taken
from the crop of wild goose, which
had been shot by the farmer. He
sowed the seed Immediately after 1t
was taken from the garner of the
birds crop, and it produced more
than an hundredfold. Mr.. Merithew.

visit to Surprise Valley, obtained
some few seeds of the new grain, and

county. The straw and beardless
head resembles wheat; the grain
looks little like rye, but it is twice
as large as rye. When cut as it is
passing into the milk it makes hay
even superior to wheat hay. MIR.
Merithew has on hand several tons
ofhay from this new variety Of grain,
and perhaps five bushels of its seed.
He gave about two quarts of the seed
to one Of our citizens lately visiting
Butte county, who was struck with
the wonderful beauty Of this new
cereal, and brought it to Southern
California for propagation. Thomas
r. Bard has taken the seed and pro-
poses to give it thorough test upon
the rich alluyial lands of the Colonia
Rancho, near the seashore. 1t could
not have fallen into the hands of a
more intelligent and painstaking cul-
tivator. 1t appears to us every way
superior to rye, and may prove to be
of great utility, as it is a fine grower,
and very productive.

Mr.. Harris Insect.

AS far as we can make out, the
bug sent us by Mr.. Hart is the neSG-
ra hiIaris which lives on the sap Of
trees and is very destructive to vege-
tation. We think that some Persian
Insect powder blown into the tree
with bellows, on calm day, to pre-
vent its being taken away by the
breeze, would soon destroy them.
When the tree is small, sheet could
be spread over it and the powder
applied under.
