Montezuma can wake a better showing,

received this season nearly 12.0W bales of

there is nearly one-fourth of it now in

CREMATION AND HEALTH.
The Hurtling of liodie* Not Neceitary as a
Hanitary Measure.
New York Tribune.
The Society of Medical Jurisprudence
and State Medicine met last evening at the
Academy of Sciences, No. 12 West Thirty-
ftrat street. There, was a large attendance,
and the paper read by Dr. Frank H. Ham
ilton on “Cremation not required as a sani
tary measure” was listened to w ith marked
attention and was frequently applauded.
Dr. Hamilton said that this paper was pre
pared to combat the movement which was
on foot to coerce cremation by
legislative enactment, in certain cases. Cre
mation, he said, is not necessary to destroy
the germs of disease. Many learned scient
ists deny the existence of disease germs and
back np their opinions with as good evi
dence as those who believe that they exist

the belief that all organized structures gen
erate gases or microbes which are destruc
tive to bV Vegetable decay causes ma
laria and its action in well understood. The
action of the decay of animal bodies on the
health of individuals is not well established.
Dr. Hamilton visited a place in France in
1814 where there w ere about 30,000 de d
animals worked up into various shapes,
buttons, glue and other things, every year.
The laborers who worked in this decaying
matter enjoyed as good health as the aver
age man, and were not particularly subject
to those diseases which are supposed to
come from decaying flesh. The odor of the

the h:it which marked the eleva
tion of the first American who ever
attained the honor to the dignity of the
Homan purple, and is the one placed on the
bead of the late Cardinal McCloskey by his
Holiness Pope Pius IX. when the archbishop
was created Cardinal by the title of Sta.
Maria supra Minervam. The Pope with
his own hands placed this hat on the head
of tho Cardinal on that occasion, and it
has never been worn since. At His Emi
nence’s funeral it may have been observed
that it was put at the foot of the casket
which contained his body, and it is familiar
to all by representation over the Cardinal’s
arms over the maiu door of the cathedral
and elsewhere.

—in fact, so far as known, there is but one
other cardinal’s hat preserved outside of
Home, namely, that of tho late Cardinal
Wiseman, which is hung in the Church of
St. Mary, Moorfields, London. The pres
ence of the hat in the Cathedral of New
York will remind future generations of the
amiable prolate, whose virtues and great
talents caused tho Pope to elevate
him to the highest dignity within
his power to confer. The reel bat itself rep
reseuts to the Cardinal that it is his duty at
all times to be ready and willing, if occasion
arise, to lay down his life for the faith, or

How the Wine was Converted Into Sour
Mash Whisky.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
A Southern reader sends a story at the ex
pense of Henry Clay, which, though it he
not new, is none the less readable. In point
of fact, all these old things are new to a
very wide range of readers, and in such
cases the older they are the newer they are.
The story is os follows;
At tho Swiss settlement of Vevay, Ind,
the grape is extensively cultivated, and
very respectable wine called “Constantia, 1
after a Cape wine of that name, which it
resembles in taste, is manufactured.
When Vevay was in its infancy, the Hon.
Henry Clay, then Speaker of tlie House of
Representatives of the United States, re
ceived a present of three bottles of this
“Constantia" wine—and ‘hereby, bangs a
tale related to ns the other day by a gen
tleman who heard it in Kentucky. Ad
miring its flavor, and surprised to hear
that wine of so good a quality was raised
on the bunks of tho Uhio, Clay, after
having drank two bottles, reqnested his
wife to lay aside the third in onler that when
ho went to Congress he might bike it with
him to present to President Madison, not
doubting that he would be os much sur
prised as he himself had been at this sped
men of domestio manufacture. According
ly the third bottle was deposited in the cel
lur, and on going to Washington Mr. Clay
took it along with him. In crossing the
Alleghonies, fearful that it would (
broken, he carried it in his hands a consi
erable part of the way, and on more than
one occasion daring the fatiguing passage
triumphed over a strong desire to refresh
himself with its contents. On arrival at
the capital, he sent tho “Constantia,” with
sketch of its history, to the President,
few days after this n grand diplomatic
dinner was given at the “White House,”
and Mr. Clay, among others, had
invitation and attended. After the cloth
was removed, the President ordered the ser
vants to bring clean glasses, as ho had a
new kind of wine on which he wanted the
opinion of his guests. The glasses were
ltoduceu, filled with Mr. Clay’s “Constan-
-io," und passed around to the company.
Clay felt as if the “death agony” was upon
him—he feared the result of this compari
son of his American wine with the me
European liquors which sparkled npon the
table. At leDglb, after the amarking of the
lips had ceased, the Preaident, addressing
himself to Mr. Wirt, then attorney-general,
said: “I don't know what kind ot wine yon
call this, but it tastes to me confounded
strong of Kentucky whisky!" Clay felt
aa if he should sink to tho floor with
mortification, bnt keeping his coun
tenance, answered; “Well, I don'
know hot it does ao I should rather
think that it did—bnt we call this excellent
wine in Kentucky," and thus the matter
passed off with some merriment. On his
return to his family, Clay related the cir-
cmustances. when one of the hoys spoke
out: “Oh, father, I can tell you how it hap
pened. Tom and I were down in the cellar
one day in search of something to drink,
when Tom took np the liottle mother had
laid away, and before knowing what it was,
drank off half its contents. Fearing a dis
covery, we filled itnp with abottle of whisky
we found there and luid it aside again.
Thus was the whisky taste discovered by
Mr. Wirt satisfactorily accounted for. Sucn
were the incidents attending the first bottle,
perhaps, of Americuu Constantia, or rather,
whisky, that found its wav over the Alle
ghenies from the hanks of tlie Uhio.
