Kerosene OH and Diphtheria.

A correspondent of the Plattsburg
pa Republican writes from West
Chazy: Allow me to say a few
words Of the greatest importance to
the public, through your journal, in
regard to the terrible disease dipthe-
ria, which is raging with great de-
structi0n of lives throughout the
county. 1t has ragged here to fear,
full extent, quite a number OF cases
proving fatal.
There is a family here by the name
of Light, miller, who moved here
from Rochester this season. Mrs.
Light said to some of the neighbOrs
that previous to moving here she had
an attack of diptheria and cured her
self by the use of kerosene oil as a
gargle, also swallowed some but the
remedy was SO simple that our citi-
zens didn't think of it until five of
Joseph Jelly's children were taken
down with the diphtheria. Their
throats became swollen and canker-
ed terribly. Mrs. Jelley sent after
her neighbor, Mrs. Milliette, who
had lat ly lost son by the disease,
to ascertain whether it was really
diphtheria or not. Mrs. Milliette
pronounced it diphtheria in avery
dangerous form. Mrs. Jelley said she
would use Mrs. Lights remedy
kerosene oiI-which she gave her
children as gargle, also had them
swallow some. The children recov-
cred rapidly, and in few days were
out on the street. Several other cures
are mentioned.

REPORT ON THE ARKANSAS Hot
Observation-Disclosures Kelly, at
the Hot Springs, Arkansas, in his
annual report, which has been re-
ceiyed at the Interior departments
says that the first duty Ire perform
ed was the removal of three or four
hundred destitute people of nearly
every nationality, many of them dis
eased and some of them worthless
and desperate characters, from the
west slope of Hot Springs mountain,
where they were destroying timber
and shrubbery and polluting the
springs, to another location, where,
through the aid ofguests and citizens,
comfortable barracks have been cree
ted for the sick and destitute, and
free baths provided. The superin-
tendent has adopted as the rate of
water rent for the springs, So per tub
per month. This charge has seemed
satisfactory to bath owners, and it is
recommended that the rent be retain
ed at this amount. He reports that
the terrible fire which visited the
Springs during the year, burned
nearly all II the business portion of
the town.

A despatch from Berlin states
that General Kaufman has sent a
costly sword to the Amer of AT
ghanistan as present from the Gar
of Russia. Gen. Kaufman delivered
an address which will be ant to in
crease the i'll feeling in England
against Russia. He speaks of the
Gar as the sovereign in whose en-
pire the sun never sets, whose finger
causes millions of soldiers to take up
arms, and that the sword is sent as a
pledge of friendship and affection to
his friend and ally. He also says
that Russia knows how to protect her
allies from the attacks of any enemy,
however powerful, and that whoever
takes sides with Russia need never
fear that hair of his head will be
injured. The blade of the sword has
in Persian characters the inscription,
"May God give thee Victory over
the Infidels."

SOUTHERN ELECTION FRAUDS.

These violations will be condemned
as forcibly depriving large num-

There is one thing to be always
considered in figuring on the polite
al complexion of the Northern
States and that is that the Democrat
ic party is absolutely without a
prominent or influential organ.
While the Republicans haye such
organs as the New York Tribune,
Times, Cincinnati Gazette, Chicago
Tribune and Philadelphia Press the
Democrats are to all intents and pur-
poses organizes. The New York
World is in no sense a party organ.
1t supports Democratic men and
measures when it feels inclined and
is found Oftener harming than help
ing the party. The Chicago Times
long ago abandoned Democracy for
the attractive field of independent
journalism, and the Cincinnati En-
quirer, once an acknowledged Demo-
cratic authority, has thrown off its
allegiance and only tenders a quasi
support to Democratic tickets as a
means of advancing its Greenback
heresies. In New England the Dem
ocrats have a staunch organ in the
Boston Post and in Pennsylvania
they have fighting representative
in the Pittsburgh Post but both these
journals are circumscribed and
hemmed in by successful Republl-
can rivals. In the Southwest we find
the st. Louis Globe. Democrat, an ul-
ira Radical organ, prosperous jour-
nal in an overwhelmingly Democrat.
ic State. The st. Louis Times aban-
doned the Democratic organization
last week, and as the Republican has
long been classed among the "Inde-
pendents." the Democrats of the
trans Mississippi region are left with
out an organ of great character or
acknowledged influence. Baltimore

The advance of the English forces
has SO far been completely successful.
The Afghan forces in Ali Musiid
sustained bombardment for several
hours on Thursday, but towards
evening the English brought some
fortypounder guns to bear upon the
fort, and two shells went crushing
into the central bastion, crumbling a
great portion of it, and apparently
dismounting the guns which hal been
delivering a steady fire. The Eug-
fish skiimishers had in the mean
time been advancing, and other
troops had gained a position almost
within storming distance of the right
flank of the fort when dark closed
the operations of the siege. During
the night the Afghans Abandoned
the fort without firing another shot.

Official election returns from all
but two counties in this State, with
unofficial returns from those two,
enable the result to be shown with a
close approach to exactness. The
Greeuback vote exceeds the predic-
tons of some, and falls below the
fears of others. 1t is neither 700
nor $4,000, but halfway between the
two.7l $50, as against 20, 282 last year.
The Republican plurality is larger,
it is safe to say, than the most san
guine Republicans expected to see
1856; the Democratic plurality last
year on Secretary Of State was IL 1854,
but it is only just to the comparison
to remember that two candidates on
the Democratic ticket last year re-
ceiyed pluralities of $4,000 and $4,000

A detachment of revenue officers,
while in Abbeyille county, South
Carolina, to enforce the laws of the
United States against Illicit distill-
ing, were surrounded by an armed
mob on Wednesday night. Their
lives were threatend, several shots
fired, and the interference of the far

withdrew to Abbevile Court House
and were awaiting reinforcements,
which they are instructed to obtain,
so as to overcome all resistance and
execute the warrants for the arrest of

A ROLAND FOR THEIR OLIVER -
When the Russo Turkish war was
entered upon last year Great Britain
announced her intention of not inter
fering unless british interests" were
directly assailed, but at the same
time reserved her right to object to
whatever readjustment of boundaries
might result from the war, and &C.
cordingly, when the treaty of San
Stefano was promulgated, Beacons-
field secured its revision at Berlin.
Now, in her turn, Russia is said to
announce that she will not interfere
in the Afghan war, although salts
fed that it must end in a British
victory, but will "claim a voice in
the settlement of peace" affirming
that the Gar will not contest to any
rectification of the boundaries of AT
ghanstan in regard to which he has
not been consulted. This is a very
neat retort, but, in a purely Asian
question, Russia cannot expect to be
backed up by the other European
powers, as Great Britain was in de.
handing the conference of Berlin.

An informal convention of Metho-
dists is now being held in Brooklyn
for the discussion of the question
whether the pastoral system shall
continue to be itinerant or be made
permanent. A large degree of diff
ference among the debaters has been
developed, some defending the time
honored plan and others insisting
upon new departure. Of the first
class, Mr.. Woodruff is a sample. He
argued:
1T would be very nice for the gen
tlemen in the city and in the large
churches to have the discipline so
amended as to give them the cream
of The preachers, and to give to the
smaller churches their throw off.
don't want any amendments. |
want to stand to the system as our
foretather5 did, and | believe that in
the end it will bring US safe to heaven.
We have amended enough. We have
amended the discipline; we have
amended hymn books. That is all
well enough for those who are rich
enough to buy the books, but some
OF US are not. Amendment never
does any good. The discipline as it
is, now and forever"
The other class of Methodists re-
gard the Church as a great and ad-
vancing one, or insist that it ought
to be such. Mr.. Frank Beard. the
artist, represents them, and he argu-
ed that:
"The itineracy was the outgrowth
of necessity. In the early days Of
MethOdism there were not enough
preachers TO send over the country,
and one who was appointed had to
go over a great deal of ground. In
this Conference we have all the
preachers that are needed. | don't
believe we should sit in cold seats
with a warming pan at our feet be-
cause our fOrefathers believed grace
would keep the body warm. Itseems
to me | should argue the question
on intelligent ground, and not on
the ground that our forefathers had
something better. This is the age of
progression. Are three years enough
for "a Methodist minister to do his
work? He comes to the church. 1t
takes him one year to get acquaint.
ed. In six months of the next year
he goes to Europe. He's got to plan
and work out his ideas in eighteen
months. AS soon as he gets a church
where pastor and people are in har-
mony with each other he has to go
away"
