Since that dreadful disease, diptheria,
has made such ravages in New York,
and other cities, it may not be out Of
place at this time, to call attention to a
recent letter, written by DR.. George
Cragin, of the Oneida Community,
which thus explains a novel but very
successful treatment Of diptheria


"Recognizing as we do the spiritual
nature of disease, as well as its ply sical
characteristics, our first efforts were to
arouse the spirit Of the patient by
means of criticism to resist the power
and leaden influence of disease, which
enveloped him like cloud, stupetyin9
and befogging every mental faculty and
effort of the will 10 repel the intruder.
The invariable effect of criticism was to
stir up the patient in mind and heart to
make a stout defence against the attack,
to resist the influence Of the disease
with might and main, and to throw him
into a sweat, thus at once relieving the
fever.


''The next thing was to prepare a
quantity of ice broken into small bits,
which could be easily taken into th'
mouth and swall swe-sl or.nallowed 10
melt, letting the piece slip as far back
as possible around the roots of the
tongue, tonsiiis, and upper part of the
throat. This application of ice vas
made every ten minutes, day and night,
until every yestipe of the canker had
disappeared and the inflammation had
subsided. During the day the patients,
unless very sick, could help themselves
to the ice if a supply were placed at
the bedside or near at hand; bat during
the night watchers were required to
give the necessary lump of ice every ten
minutes, one nurse attending to several
patients. This course OF treatment was
faithfully followed as long as there were
any traces of the disease about, and al
though we had over sixty cases during
the fall and winter, and many OF them
very severe, we lost not single patient
after adopting the ice criticism treat
ment.


"Of course the application of criticism
would be difficult il not impossible un-
der the ordinary hospital routine or prl-
yate practice, even if desired by the
patient, but the application Of ice can
be male under any circumstances, and
there must be but few who cannot at-
ford few pounds Of a medicine so
cheap, SO pure, aud so powerful.


"The efficacy Of the ice treatment
lies in its being applied continuously
until every trace OF the fungus growth
has disappeared and the swelling and
inflammation has subsidized. Acids and
alkalies and fashionable gargles will in
some measure check the morbid growth
but they cannot aIIay the fierce heat
and reduce the inflammation Of the
swelled throat. Ice will do both and
not injure the patient.

Amid the changing scenes of life


That cheer the coming few,
The fafrest prospects that appear


We hasten to pursue;
But yet whatever path we tread


ObStrutions we will meet,
And taste among the fruits of lite,


The bitter with the sweet
The young look forth with fervent hope
For all the joys of wealth
The old look back upon the past


And only ask for health.
Youth will delight in sunny skies


Aud all the heart would greet;
But age has seen all and drank


The bitter with the sweet.
When fortune smiles npon our lot


How smoothly flows the stream
There's not ripple to disturb


The sweet and happy dream
But when misfortune sends his blast
Our blessings to defeat,
Oh then we drink in every cup


The bitter with tie sweet.
The weary heart may grow light,


Intruding cares succumb,
Tho times capacious hand should fail
To strike their terrors dumb.
There is a heaven above us all,


And love without deceit
But while on earth, we all must taste
The bitter with the sweet.

SERMON OF AN INDIAN PnEACHER.-
At recent Sunday school anniversary
meeting in Montreal, one of the speak
ers, missionary, described the work
and prospects of the Sunday School
Society among the Indians, and referring
to a gathering Of the latter religious
services, gave the following account Of
the sermon:


One ofthe Indian preachers, stripping
his shoulders to show that he had
thrown off all deceit, stood up and said
that he had 4 vision. He said the
Great Spirit made first the sun which
took him week. He then rested. lie
went TO work again and made the moon,
and then as it had nothing to shine on,
our mother-the earth. Then he created
the buffalo, the greatest gift TO his peo-
pie. After this came red men. He put
them here and said, "You stay there. "
He then created little island and put
the pale faces on it aud said, "1ou stay
there;" but they had so much fire in
their bones they couldn't stay there,
and had to go everywhere, and crossed
the water and came here. The Great
Spirit must have put them in bad
country or they would have staid in it.
They had no business to cross the big
lake at all, but they have come come
here, and have got to stay here, and
I've got to tell you we had better let

The prosperity of the HERALD with
in the past eight months is unprece-
dented in California journalism.
From almost nothing, the business
has expanded to the utmost capacity
of the largest and best appointed job


and newspaper office south of San


Francisco. Our steam job presses are


run fourteen of every twenty -four


hours, the job-room is always crowded


with work and we are doing more and
of superior quality of job work than


all the other printing houses in the


city, With new type, fine presses,


steam power and first-ciass workmen,
we are enabled to fill the orders of our
patrons in the best style of the art and
in the shortest possible time. OF
newspapers alone, there are now
printed on the HERALD presses, one
daily, one ,semi-weelIy two 5weekiies
and one monthly The large Taylor
power press, though capable of throw
ing off fifteen hupdred impressions
per hour, is taxed to its utmost capac-
ity with the large editions of these
regular publications. To meet this
demand upon our press-room, we are
preparing to add another large single
cylinder press to those already in use.
The circulation of the DAILY HERALD
is already large - nearly or quite
dogble that of any other daily pub
lished in Southern California-andi is
steadily increasing. 1t furnishes all
the news of the day and each issue
contains more reading matter than all
the dailies published in the city. Its
editorials are intended to be frank,
fair, outspoken ard impartial. 1t is
not the purpose of the editor, nor is it
expected, that his articles will meet
the appreciation Of everybody. Fhe
individual or journal that labors with
the single object of pleasing
everybody possesses neither individ-
uality, force or distinctive character.
An honest, candid opinion may not
please and it cannot receive the en-
dorsement of all, but it is entitled to
and receives greater consideration and
respect than the non-committal,
shilly-shally bosh with which some
publishers fill their editorial columns.
The editor VINO hews to the line, let
the chips fall where they may, will

of his views, but they will Prospect his

with news and reliable information
concerning the "New Italy" toward
which the steps of thousands are now

WEEKLY HERALD now approximates
two thousand, and hundreds of copies
are mailed each week to subscribers in
the Southwestern and Northwestern
States. The circulation is so rapidly
increasing that we are warranted in
saying the next year will enable us to
show an edition of at least four thous-

The silence that has now shrouded
the civil rights bill for two DAYS is
ominous. As our dispatches left the
matter, it is on the Speakers table;
but Ben Butler is a desperate parlia-
mentarian. In virtue of a House reso-
luton passed some time ago, instruct
ing the Committee on Judiciary to re-
port what legislation, if any, is neces-
sary to further protect negro
citizens, we believe that Butler,
as chairman, has the right to
report such bill at any
time. If he cannot get a two thirds
vote to suspend the rules and go to the
Speakers table, he may take a notion
to report the Senate bill as an original
House bill, and send it back to the
Senate for re-enactment. This was
the parliamentary dodge by which the
adjournment resolution was rushed
through about week ago.
