Cure for Diptheria.

Dlphtheria is epidemical in Idaho
and parts of Nevada. In the Northern
country, particularly about Boise City.
many deaths have occurred from the
disease, and only last week three
children of the Recorder of Douglass
county, in this State, fell victims to the
scourge. A Victoria. correspondent of
the New Northwest communicates the
following to that Journal, and we re.
produce it for what it may be worth:
Should yon or any of your family be
attacked with diptheria. do not be
alarmed. as it is easily and speedily
cured. When it was raging in England a
short time ago, accompanied DR.. Fields
on his rounds to witness the sJ.called
wonderful cures be performed while the
patients of others were dropping off on
all sides. The remedy. TO be 80 rapid.
mnst be simple. All he took with him
was powder Of sui hur and qlill. and
with these he cured every case without
exception. He put teaspoonful of
brlmstene in,oa wine glass of water,
aud stirred 1t with his finger instead of
spoon. as the sulphur does not
readily Dissolve with water. When the
sulphur was well mixed he gave it as a
gar3le, and in ten minutes the patient
was ont of danger. Birthstone kills
every species OF fungus Ia man, beast
or plant Ia few minutes. Instead of
splitting out the gargIe, he recommends
the swallowing OF it. In extreme
cases III which be had inst been called
IN the nick of time, when the fungus
was too near closing to allow the
gtrsllng, be blew the sulphur through
gull into the throat, aud after the
fungus had shrnnk to admit of it. then
the garg'iug. He never lost patient
from diphtheria. If patient cannot
gargle, take a live coal. put it on
shovel, sprinkle spoonful or two of
-four of birthstone at a. time upon it.
and let the sufferer inhale it. holding
the head over 1t, and the fungus will
die. The room may also bs filled with
the fumes of the burning sulphur. aud
the patient be allowed to walk around
the room. Ii is at least worth trying.

The End of a Monster.

By the hanging of the Frenchman La
Page at Concord, N. H., on Friday last,
the world is rid of one of the worst
monsters of which there is record Much
regret must be felt that when the st.
Adams authorities had this man under
arrest for the murder of Miss Marietta
Ball, the school teacher, they could not
have fastened the crime upon him, and
thus saved the life of the beautiful
school ghl of Pembroke, Josie Lang
maid. But they considered the evil
dence insufficient, and this lustful mon
ster went down into New Hampshire
and there repeated the double crime of
st. Adams.
This case of La Page, and that of Ia
trO,-whO brutally murdered the young
wife at Highgate, not long after the
Ball murder-should remind people
that some of the worst elements in our
country come out to the states from
Canada /; and should put the rural pop
ulatiOn especially on their guard against
these vagabond Canadians. They may
be very good workers, and may work
cheaper than the Yankees can afford to-
but they cannot be trusted as a rule
while many of them are actually devil.

Tweed's family are now engaged Ill
legal dispute with local life insurance
company over the payment of an en-
dowment policy ON his life, which the
company claims to have been rendered
void by his running away to Spain
against the provisions of the policy.
The point is novel one, and its de-
cision will form an important prece-
dent. Another interesting case in pro-
gress is the Legislative investigation
of our State Insurance Commissioner
Smyth, which is turning up an immense
amount of information, and at present
looks rather badly for the official named.
1t seems particularly unfortunate after
all the troubles, merited and unmerited,
which have pressed so heavily upon life
insurance, that political maneuvering
should be allowed to come in and COM
plicate these difficulties. Here few
months ago some carpet-bag politician
who wished to obtain the office of in
surance commissioner of Connecticut,
sought to obtain the position by throw
ing suspicion upon the vigilance of the
present efficient and pains-taking in
cumbent. To this end there was carried
through late in the last session of the
Connecticut Legislature bill creating
special commission to examine the Con-
necticut companies and make report
thereon. Of course any examination
could be but eT parte. 1t cost the State
of Connecticut directly and indirectly
$75, 900 with future cost not to be esti
mated: the business of Connecticut
companies was checked, thousands of
policies discontinued and damage done
that cannot be calculated. The Com
mission published some well known
facts damaging to the Charter Oak,
which the Commissioner of the State
had previously stated to the several
preceding Legislatures and closed by
a erroneous report on the Continental
Life of Hartford.
Now the Continental is as sound as a
dollar-and a gold one at that so they
at once demanded and obtained thor
ough examination by the joint standing
of the Legislature, men of
the highest character, who after going
through its whole condition report, in
effect, the previous charges and finding
to be utterly unfounded and the COM
pany itself to be in splendid condition,
with a surplus of over $3.50, 900. There
are enough shaky companies in this
country, in all conscience and there
should he severe puhishments for those
who try to add to the number through
violations of the ninth commandment.
1t is a satisfaction to add that the
"carpet-bag" aspirant failed to get his
position after all. RADIX.

A New Law Wanted.

The authorities in towns of this size
find our laws faulty in this regard:
There is no statute by which disorderly
houses, as such, can be suppressed.
For instance, the most notorious acts
of lewdness and misconduct, like that
noticed in an other column, go compar-
atively unpublished. The prosecuting
officers fine and imprison for drunken
ness, when that crime is virtue COM
pared with what was really done. But
there is no law to reach the worse Of
Tense. What seems to be needed, is
law that will close up these bagnios of
of the BoUetts, Metcalfs, ETC., and make
it so hot for their occupants, and those
phO pstrOnise them, that it will be I'M
profitable to f1aunt shame SO openly as
has been done here of late.

he can wait awhile longer for fruit,
with the hope of getting longer-lived
tree, and more abundant yield, let him
set younger trees, either seedlings or
budded stock. If he wishes an early
bearer and comparatively smaller tee,
he can select the sour Seeding budded.
If larger but later bearer, he can
select the sweet Seeding budded. If he
wishes an abundant yield and the largest
trees, and can wait a long time, but
with less risk of being killed down by
the frost, the sweet Seeding unbudded
will suit. Four years old sweet seed
Iings, five or six feet high and an inch
or more in diameter, can now be bought
for from 80 to so cents each, and in my
opinion are the cheapest and best trees
in Florida. With good treatment such
tress will begin to bear at eight years,
and give him in eight years from the
time of setting out his grove, more
oranges than any other way.

inst, over one O'DOnovan Rosa, who
delivered lecture under the auspices
of the Irish Catholic Benevolent Society
on "Ireland, her trials and triumphs.'
During the lecture the hall windows
were riddled with stones. Later the
mob riddled hotel where Rosa was
supposed to be stopping, when pistols
and stones were freely used by both
parties. The police in large force were
present and assailed the mob, but were
badly used almost every one of the en-
tire force being injured. Many arrests
were made. One or two of the rioters
are supposed to be seriously injured,
but strange to say none were killed.
