LARD ON HE'LL.

In the Richmond, KY, Register we
find the following notice Of Elder
Moses E. Lard, formerly a minister
in ST. Joseph:
Elder Moses E. Lard preached a
sermon at the Christian church in
this place on Wednesday evening, on
the subject of the endlessness of fu-
ture punishment. He examined the
question very closely and very criti-
cally, and the conclusion which he
drew and the assertion made was
that no man could say from the
scriptures hat God had anywhere
declared that future punishment vas
to be endless. He did not say that
the punishment was to be endured
only for a time, but he advanced the
opinion that. the sacred book left the
question in doubt. and be said that
he thanked God that it had been left
SO in doubt. He also stated it as his
candid opinion that a majority of the
lawyers of Kentuck to-day denied
that a just God could visit endless
suffering as a punishment of sins F;
that the thinking, studious men OF
the country for many years had de-
nitd this proposition, and it was a
matter OF congratulation that a ma
Ijority OF those who closely studied
the question and analysed it had
come to the same conclusion as him
self-that the bible had left the
Question in doubt, neither stating
that the punishment to be inflicted
in the next world for sin was end
less, not stating that it was to have
an end. Mr.. Lard's sermon presented
many points which were entirely new
to his hearers and awakened al 1n-
teresr about a question which has
heretofore attracted little attention.

The newspaper carrier who serves

Mr.. Hobbs explains the mystery OF

A nan whose stride is thirty-two

pedomoter. This is because the
body is In constant motion. For ill.,

he continues rapidly onward until
that foot is set down and the other
raised to make another step. This

time that it would take him to ac-

D1PHTHER1A AND ITS CURE.

The following, taken from the
Plattsburg, N. Y. Republican, may
prove a boon to many Of our peo-
Pile, as diphtheria is prevailing to a
considerable extent in this country
and other portions of the valley, and
is certainly worthy of trial. We do.
not know that it will cure as is repre-
sented, but assuredly it can do no
harm to give it a thorough test, aud
as it is within the reach of every
household, we suggest it's application I:
Mr.. Editor-Allow me to say q few
words of the greatest Importance to
the public. through your journal, in
regard to the terrible disease dlphthe-
ria, which is raging with great dis
truction of lives throughout the
country. 1t has ragged here to a fear
full extent, quite a large number
Of cases proving fatal.
There is a family here by the name
of Light, who moved here from Ro-
chester this season. Mrs. Light said
to some of the neighbors thai previ-
Gus to moving here she mad an at
tack of diphtheria and cured herself
by the use OF kerosene oil as a gargle,
swallowing some, but the remedy
was SO simple that our citizens did
not think anything of il until five of
Joseph Jelly's children were taken
with diphtheria, their throats be-
came iswolen and cankered terribly.
Mrs. Jelly sent after her neighbor,
Mrs. Milliette, who had lately lost a
son by the disease, to ascertain
whether 1t was really diphtheria or
not. Mrs. Milliette pronounced it
diphtheria i'll a very dangerous form.
Mrs. Jelley said she would use Mrs.
Lights remedy, kerosene oil, which
she gave her children as u gargle,
also had them swallow some. The
children recovered rapidly, aud in a
lew days were out on the street.
Another neighbor by the name of
Lusla, railroad trackmaster at this
place had threu children taken with
diphtheria. and cured them with ker
osene oil.
William Emery had four children
taken down and gave kerosese ell,
! and they recovered.
b Gillette was taken with it
and cured himself with Kerosene oil,
John Reynolds, of Ingraham, and a
daughter and a niece were cured by
kerosene oil, after they were given
up for death by the doctor. g..
What ia most astonishing is that
not q single case where they used
kerosene oil has proved fatal. The
remedy is simple aud certainly cheap,
and always at hand in all families
throughout the land.
Also Geo. Gillette had three chill.
dren taken with the same disease
very badly and they were cured with
Kerosene oil. Yours truly.

THE Ill GRANT GANG.
[Frcm the Chicago Times,

There is evidently q very ardent
faith INDUCED in by Grants old ham
gsrs-on that Hiram Ulysses is once
more to reign in the land. At a re-
cent dinner given to the newspaper
Representatives in Washington,
through a pre-arranged plan or a
very clever accident, several leaders
of the old Grant gang were present.
There was Boss Shepherd, there was
General Babcock ; the entire staff Of
the Grant organ, and even Belknap,
Grants disgraced secretary of war.
One might naturally have supposed
that a newspaper banquet would be
about the last place that Belknap
would go to for personal pleasure.
Probably there 10 no man in the
country who has experienced more
wholesome and thorough denuncia-
ton at the hands OF the entire press
Of the country than w. W. Belknap,
aud yet he came to this newspaper
feast where nearly every guest had at
some period of his life u q knife in
to this post trader warrior.
Belknap came into the dining room,
where sat upward of fifty or sixty
journalists, and advanced with smil-
ing ease, "a if he knew at least he was
among his friends. 1t as rather an
embarrassing sight to see this great
blazing-whiskered man walk almost
the length of the dining room Will h.
out receiving a single greeting. He
walked to a place within a few seats
of Gen. Sherman, who presided over
the dinner. Gen. Shermap's atten-
ton was very much absorbed aud
he did not succeed in getting enough
disengaged during the evening to
recognize the fact that his old official
superior was present. Belknap's
calmness showed what a man is will
ling to endure for the sake of a good
dinner at other peoples expense.
Both he and BabcOck were severely
let alone by the rest of the guests.
An awkward silence pervaded their
locality while they went through the
bill of fare. Nothing could have mors
plainly sho wed the change in the cir.
cumstances of these men than their
treatment by the guests present, and
yet if tomorrow Graut were to re-
turn to power these same men would
be caressed and fawned upon as thew
are now neglected and despised,
Men who possess the slightest traces
of delicate feeling never could have
endured the rebufs and snubbins
that are now administered to the old
satellites of Grant, but none of them
appear to mind it. Like the tramp
who had got in the habit of being
kicked, they rather seem to enjoy Il
and seek publicity constantly as il
privacy ofany sort palled upon them
