Hon. J. H. Willard, representative rlect from Floyd county, and a son of the lato|Gov. Willard, is receiving v. vary indorsement for the speakership oi the next House. H< is said to be for Voorhccs, fin- the U. S. Senate, first, last and aIT the time. In that event we are for Willard.

An editor’s bizness, says Josh Killings, is to write editorials, grind out poetry, sort manuscripts, keep a mighty big. waste basket, steal matter, flte other people’s battles, tak** white beans and apple sags for pay when lie can get it, work nineteen hours out of twenty fore, and be damd by everybody.

Samuel S. Skinner, the republican member of the Legislature from Porter county, openly avows that he will combine with the anti-Voorhees Democrats to defeat htm. If there are uny of that class of Democrats elected to the legislature they should understand such a combination would be their political death.

“Rebel war claims to the extent, of three hundred and fifty million dollars have already been presented, and “still there’s more to follow.” Democratic supremacy means the payment of every dollar of these confederate claims."—Moutieello Herald. Well, well, Billy, the election is over in this State, and your object in the publication of such stuff as the above is hardly perceptible.. The people will this winter realize the inexcusable falsity of your statement.

“P. S. for a fact. The Union has more than double *.he circulation of any other paper in Jasper county.” Uuion. A law is before the California iegis lhture,declaring an exaggerated statement of circulation of a newspaper, to be a misdemeanor, punishable by line and imprisonment. -Ex.. Such a law enforced in this state would play havoc with a paper we know oi. LaPortc Chronicle. Well, now, Mr. Chronicle, just hold on. If we do not consider the Union’s claim worthy of serious attention, you are not called upon to meddle.

The Union volunteers the information that the Democracy of Benton county designs to play the devil with their brethren of this county, on the first favorable oppoi tunity that offers, on account of what the Consul pleases to term “treachery.* If the consul would like to hear gome reference to “treachei'y,” etc., ho has only to drop in upon his partisan friends in White county. They entertain .1 kind o' a notion that the astute nxembetfcf the several committees, County, Con gressional and StaLe, and Consul to Turk Island, as u conductor of a district political canvass, is a most disastrous failure.

“Everything is peaceful and quiet in Mississippi. Political mattexs are us silent us the .grave. But we do not hear anything about the Republican party down there, notwithstanding two thirds of the voters are Republicans. The peace-twig and shotgun policy account for it.”—Moutiecilo Herald. One oft vo things is apparent in the above—either it is an unomiuable falsehood, manufactured out of the whole cloth, or the Mississippi Republicans, comprising, the Herald says, two thirds of the voting population, to be held in subjection by due-third prove themselves the most arrant eowards on the faee of the earth.

Crown Point Star: We learn through Mr. Dale, of Monticeilo, who was here last week in the iuterest of the nariow gauge railroad, that work will probably commence in about three weeks in this county on said road, as the parties building it desire to improve the driest season of the year in crossing the Kankakee marsh, aud all questions of location will be settled in about two weeks. A proposition to run through Lowell and Crown Point will be taken into advisement.

Diptheria.

The following paragraphs are from an article in the Springfield Republican, on the nature and treatment of dipthsria: Diptheria is a disease which springs from the growth of a real fungus on some of the mucous surfaces of the system, more generally of the throat. It m'.iy spread by contact of the mucous surfaces of a diseased with those of a healthy person, as in kissing, and is, to an admitted degree, epidemic. From the local parts affected it spreads to the whole body, affecting th- 1 muscular ami nervous systems, vitiating the lymph and uutriant fluids. and producing paralysis. As soon as the bacterium or fungus appears on the while patches on the throat, it should no more be neglected than a bleeding gash or a broken arm, aud there is almost as little need of a fatal terminatiou of one incident as of the other. It has been found by actual experiment, both in and out of the human system, that this bacterium is killed by several drugs, the safest and most certain of which is chlorine water, diluted with the addition of flora two to four times the volume of water. This wash is harmless, even when swallowed, and Is pretty certain to arrest the disease. A well known physician in Springfield, who has pursued this trca r mcnt for 15 years Las found it effective, almost without exception, and has in that period almost broken up the disease in localities where it had raged violently and defied treatment To keep the patient well hou*ed and warm, with additional clothing, if necessary, and to keep the system well nourished are matters of nursing often neglected; but, with care in those respects, and early application of the remedies suggested, there is no need of the disease proceeding to a fatal termination, or even to the debilitating illness, painful cauterizations which go together in its later stages.

There is an advertisement in our coluraus to which we take much pleasure in referring our readers, because we believe in if and can conscientiously aud heartily recommend it.— We refer to Hall’s Hair Henewer. We remember m«yxy cases in our midst of old and middle aged people who for merly wore grey hair, or whose locks were thin and faded, but who now have presentable head pieces, and with no little Dride announce to their friends that they haven’t a grey hair in their heads. It is a pardonable pride, and the world would be better off, if there was more of it, for when the aged make themselves attractive to others they are more certaiu to win and retain the respect and esteem to which a burthen of well spent years entitles them. Try Hall’s Hair Reuewer if age or disease has jthinned or whitened 3'our locks and you will thank us for our advice.—Pan-Handle News, Wtllsburg, W. Va. One and all treated alike at Th§_ Narrow Gauge One Price Store.

This decision of the high court includes all dealers who sell auy similar article.—Port Jefferson [L. I.] Leader.
