CREMATION.
The revival of the ancient practice of
burning the tlcad as a mode of disposing
of the bodies of our deceased fellow-be-
iflgs, instead of the more expensive bu
rial of corpses in costly metallic cases in
these days of pomp and extravagance—in
brief, cremation in lieu of inhumation—has
excited considerable discussion of late in
the public journals. Cremationists argue
that burning the dead would be far better
than burial on sanitary grounds, prevent
ing unwholesome emanations from decay
ing bodies in church yards and cemete
ries; and on the ground of economy, be
ing very far less expensive; and further,
because the component elements of hu
man bodies must, at some time in the
long future, be dissolved into their origi
nal forms—or as the Poet Bryant ex
presses the idea in his Tlianatopsis, must
“Beresolved to earth again,
r I o be a brother of the insensible rock
And to the sluggish clod which the rude swaiu
Turns with liis share, and treads on,**
there should be no delay in the process.
On the other hand, the inhumationists
plead scriptural authority in their behalf,
the revolt the feelings of near friends and
relatives of the dead must always expe
rience at premature and artificial destruc
tion of the form and features of the dead,
and the facility with which the crime of
murder (especially by poisoning) could be
concealed by the speedy burning of the
corpse.
The agitation of the subject has quick
ly led to the erection of furnaces for
cremation of the dead at several localities
in Europe, and the organization of a large
and respectable society for promoting
cremation in New York. And no less a
magnate than the English Bishop of
Manchester lias declared very lately in
its favor, saying that “the Almighty can
raise a man from the dead whose body
had been burned just as easily as He
could raise one whose body had been bu
ried. Indeed cremation has been prac
ticed occasionally in modem times. A
notable example was the burning of the
body of the Euglislr poet Shelley, who
was accidentally drowned in the Bay of
Spezzia, Italy, in the year 1822, and in
which ceremony of cremation his poet-
friend Lord Byron participated.
But these remarks are mainly intended
to preface the following extracts from a
private letter received from a beautiful
and accomplished lady of Virginia, to
whom we had written a jocular advocacy
of cremation. It will be seen that she
goes far beyond the present cremationists
in her opinions, if indeed she has not
reached the advanced doctrines of the
days of the Auto da fe. In support of
her theory we suggest to her the consid
erate and humane remark of the Rev.
Sidney Smith of England, in a letter to a
friend, “There are too many men in the
world. Every two ought to combine and
kill a third.’’ But to the extract:
“I was much puzzled when I read in
your letter of April 13th, the postfecrip-
tal question, ‘Are you a eremationist or
an inhumationist’ ? At first, I thought
such question unworthy of reply, be
cause I felt sure of being the latter. But
each day. your question recurred to me,
suggesting new views, and now I confess
myself a eremationist. But I am not,
like you, a eremationist from ercedistic
reasons toucliing psychological burning,
nor am I moved by sanitary considera
tions influencing the N. Y. meeting. I
am an humble advocate of a more viva
cious species of cremation—that is, I ap
prove of the partial cremation not only of
certain edible beasts, fowls and fishes,
but occasionally of the higher species,—
say from the monkey away up the Dar
winian descent to the very uttermost.
Do you not think a little judicious burn
ing in this planet might be splendidly
improving I ask you, as a progressive
philosopher, to embrace my advanced doc
trine of cremation, and to leave souls out of
the question. Doubtless cremation will per
colato American politics and religion; and
should “inhumation" and “cremation”
become the shibboleth of the next Presi
dential canvass, of what earthly use will
souls be in the struggle for votes. Please
reply with your usual elaborate and meta
physical acuteness?" W. G. M.

THE CREMATION PROPAGANDA.
A Germau correspondent of tlie Pall
Mall Gazette writes: “The cause of cre
mation is making farther progress. The
furnace intended for the experimental
burning of the dead, now building in
Dresden, is to be completed in a few
weeks. Meanwhile, a cremation society
has formed at Vienna under the appro
priate title of‘The Uni,’ and has obtained
the Government’s consent for instituting
similar experiments. The furnace to be
built at Vienna will be after the design of
Professor Reclam, of Leipzig. ‘The Urn’
has a goodl}- roll of members already,
and every day is said to witness additions.
In Zurich Swiss papers affirm cremation
is more spoken of and excites greater
attention and zeal than even the proposed
revision of the Federal Constitution, on
which a vote is to be taken shortly."
AN ENGLISH QUICKSILVER MINE.
An Exeter correspondent of the Pall
Mall Gazette writes: “A quicksilver
mine is said to have been discovered at
Exeter. It appeaas that a few months
ago some boys discovered some of the
rock, or ‘skillet,’ as it is called, forming
the bank of the river at Head Weir. It
was suggested that the quicksilver had
come there by accident, or designedly
placed there, but a local chemist, named
Hare, obtained permission from the Town
Council to excavate the bank, and he has
just done so in presence of the surveyor
and other persons, and the result is the
discover}' of a large quantity of the liquid
metal. Further operations, however,
have been stopped, pending the decision
of the Town Council, who are the owners
of the land or liver bank.”
THE STRANGE GUEST
The gifted Sargent S. Prentiss once
gave a sumptuous dinner to some friends
at a hotel in Vicksburg. Early in the
evening a stranger entered the room in a
mistake. Prentiss courteously invited
him to join the party. Before long the
stranger guest began boasting of how
much he had drank during the day—a
cocktail here, a smash there, a julep in
this place, a sling in that, and so on, ap
parently without end.
At length Prentiss said :
“Sir, do you believe in the doctrine of
metempsychosis?"
“I don’t know,” was the reply, “and I
don’t sec that it has anything to do with
what we are talking about."
“It has,” rejoined Prentiss, “much—
much every way. I have firm faith in
that doctrine. I believe that in the next
life every man will be transformed into
the thing for which he has best qualified
himself in this life. In that life, sir, you
will become a corner groggery.”

above the level of the surrounding hills
and oceans, and the water forced bodily
out of it into the sister seas, when it sank
back again into its basin leaving its wide
and sun-scorched wilderness a plain of
arid sand.
It has been proposed to again unite the
desert with the sea by an artificial chan
nel, and to convert the savage home of
the wild land pirate into a lake or sea
thus bringing commerce and civilization
to its hitherto dark and Pagan shores. To
this the Scientific American objects on
the ground that the water would be
evaporated as fast as they flow in and
leave the desert of sand a desert of salt;
and that the largest river would scarce
fill the plain in ages. It proposes a se
ries of artesian wells, each of which would
form an oasis, and lead eventually to the
reclamation of the waste.
We do not think the objections of that
paper well-founded. The introduction of
any considerable quantity of water into
the desert bed would gradually bring
about changes that would eventually lead
to the success of the experiment. If a
small artesi an well would (as it has in many
places) create an oasis, would not a large
body of water flowing in spread and as it
is evaporated the air would become moist,
rain would be produced and the waters
again returned to the soil. The rash of
waters will deepen and widen the inlet,
and the next generation would see an ar
tificial sea, bearing on its bosom chris
tianity, commerce and civilization to the
benighted children of ‘Afric’s burning
sands.’
The artesian theory would take ages to
work out practical results; but the ocean
would baffle the arts of the savage rob
bers, and in a few years bring Africa’s in
terior almost to the very harbors of Eu
rope and America.

ON EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL.
BY DR. EDWARD CURTIS.
As no good to the temperance or any
other cause can come out of misconcep
tion as to matters of fact, I am impelled
to say that late researches in physiolog;
cal chemistry have put the action of al
cohol on the animal system in a new light.
Without going into technical details, the
following are the main facts of the mat
ter.
Contrary to what was lately believed,
it has been proved beyond the possibility
of a doubt that alcohol when drunk is not
“ejected from system unchanged," except
in trifling amount when taken in grossly
intoxicating quantity. On the contrary,
in ordinary amounts it is wholly consumed,
transformed, in the system, and by the
nature of its chemical composition in cap
able, like certain elements of ordinary
food, of thus yielding force which can be
used by the economy to do life-work, as
the heat of the burning coal drives the
engine.
Li this fact we have a key to the efiects
of alcoholic thinks on man. Thus within
certain limits of dose, alcohol is like or
dinary food in the system without pro
ducing any injurious effects, and yielding
useful forGe for the purposes of the
economy, must he considered as a food
in any philosophical sense of the word.
And an important point to know, and one
little understood, is that this food action
is attended with no exciting or intoxica
ting influence, but the whole effect, like
that of ordinary food, is seen in the main
tenance or restoration according to cir
cumstances, of that balance of function
called health.
But if taken in greater quantity than
can be utilized as a foree-yieldmg food,
the excess of alcohol acts as a poision.
producing a well-known train of pertur
bations of function. And—again a point
generally misunderstood—all signs of de
parture from the natural condition in the
drinker, from the first flushing of the
cheek, brightening of the eye. and un
natural mental excitement, to the general
paralysis of complete drunkenness, be
long equally to the poisonous effect of
alcohol. Th at is, for I wish strongly to
insist upon this point, even the early
phases of alcohol disturbance, which are
often improperly call “stimulating." are
part and parcel of the injuriously disturb
ing influence of overdosage, and must be
put in the same category with the more
obviously poisonous effects of pronounc
ed. ^
Alcohol has thus a two fold action.
First it is capable in proper dose, of be
ing consumed and utilized as a force pro
ducer; in which case there is no visible
disturbance of normal function. Such
aefion cannot be disturbance of normal
function. Such action cannot be distin
guished either by the drinker or the phy
siologist from that of a quickly digestible
fluid food, and is no more an “excite
ment” or “stimulation" followed by a
“recoil" or “depression,” than is the ac
tion of a bowl of hot soup or of a glass of
milk. The second action is the poison
ous influence of an excess of alcohol cir
culating in the blood, which makes itself
sensible to the drinker by peculiar sensa
tions and disturbances, and is not only
followed by “depression,” but is itself a
form of depression—thatis, a disturbance
of balance; and unnatural perturbation of
the normal working of the functions.
Every reader of these lines will at
once ask, What then is the limit as to
quantity within which alcohol exerts only
a food-action, and beyond which it be
gins td poisou by its excess ? This ques
tion cannot be answered categorically,
for it so happens that the “poison line,"
as it has been aptly called, is a shifting
one. Even in health it varies according
to age, sex, individual peculiarity and
habit, and even in the same person accord
ing to his physical condition for the time
being. When fatigued by bodily or men
tal work, when suffering from emotional
agitation, as anxiety or fear; when worn
by loSs of sleep, of blood, or by pain,
amounts which ordinarily would flush the
face and somewhat confuse the mind will
be borne by the same person without
producing the slightest symptom of intox
ication; the whole effect of the drink be
ing expended in relieving the pro-existing
malaise, and restoring the system to its
normal condition. And in more formal
morbid states, as in many diseases, the
poison line often shifts to an astounding
degree, so that what would in health
produce even dangerous drunkenness will
be borne without causing the least intox
ication; the whole of the alcohol being
apparently utilized by the system for
obtaining the life saving energy which
this fluid, from its swift absorption and
ready chemical change in the blood, can
so quickly yield.—N. Y. Tribune.
Old Letters.
Never bum kindly written letters; it is
so pleasant to read them over when the
ink is brown, the paper yellow with age,
and the hand that traced it folded over
the heart that prompted the word, under
the green sod. Above all, never bum let
ters. To read them in after years is like
a resurrection of one’s youth. The elderly
spinster finds in the impassioned oiler she
rejected twenty years ago, a fountain of
rejuvenescence. Glancing over it, she
realizes that she was once a belle and a
beauty, and beholds her former self in a
mirror much more congenial to her taste
than the one that confronted her in her
dressing l oom. The “widow indeed" de
rives sweet and solemn consolation from
the letter of the beloved one who has
journeyed before her to the far off land,
whence there comes no message, and
where she hopes one day to join him. No
photograph can so vividly recall to the
memory of the mother the tenderness and
devotion of the children who have at the
call of Heaven, as epistolary outpourings
of their love. A letter of a true son or
daughter to a true mother is something
better than the image of the features, it is
a reflex of the writer's soul. Keep all
loving letters; bum all harsh ones, and in
burning them forgive and forget.
