VON PALSro CREMATION.
COMPLETE SUCCESS or THE NOVEL KXPKU
IWEMT-—AN TNTBREBTINO ÜBkCßir-
TION or Tint PROCESS.
■I,. —..—- # ... .....
Pittsburg, Dec. tf.—The proosss ot
< nutating the body of the lata Baron Von
Palm, at Dr. Lomovns’s crematory, at
Washington, in this State, was success
fully accomplished this morning. The
body arrived at the cemetery yesterday,
and'was placed on the catafalque in the
reception room of the cemetery, Tbe
body was taken from the coffin and wrap
ped in a white cloth. It weighed 92
pounds, and was of chocolate color and
perfectly odorloss. The viscera had been
removea, the cavities being filled with a
mixture of crystalir.ed carbolic acid and
potter’s clay.
At 8:27 a. M., Dr. Lemoyne, Dr. Astle
of Pittsbnrg, 11. J. Newton and Col.
Olcott, tbe two latter Bantu’s executors,
carried the body to the mouth of the
tetort, Col. Olcott pul on the body myrrh,
frankincense snd cinnamon and the wind
ing sheet wag saturated with an alum
solution. Evergreen sprays and immor
telles were stetvu upon the body, and all
was ready.
The body was on a wire cradle which,
when in the retort, raise. 1 it about two
inches from the bottom of the retort
The door was opened, and, as the body
slid in, a fume of smoke from the burnt
evergreens rose from the body. A faint
er odor of burning flesh pervaded the
building, but no unpleasant feature p
peared and the process was pronounced a
success in every particular.
Observations' every ten minutes dis
closed the fact that the remains rapidly
shrunk in size and passed away in vapor
and gases. At the end of the first hour
the bones crumbled and the outline of the
form was lost. At the end of the second
hour the body was greatly reduced in size.
The larger bones and ribs only were visi
ble, and would apparently crumble at tbe
slightest touch. At forty five minutes
past ten the crib was moved back in tbe
retort two inches and the whole mass
crumbled. Col. Olcott then pronounced
the incineration ended and complete in
two hours and twenty minutes.
After the retort has cooled, the ashes
will be placed in an urn provided for that
purpose.
But little local interest was manifested,
but the press was largely represented,
representatives of the New York, Phila
delphia, Cincinnati and Chicago papers
being present. A meeting will be held
in the town this afternoon, from 2 to 5
o’clock, for the discussion of cremation
and inhumation, in which Olcolt, Dr.
Lemoyne, and others, will take part.

The Hale at den. Washington’* Library
Yesterday afternoon, at Thomas’
auction rooms, the last volumes of
the library of Gen. George Washing
ton were scattered to the winds by
the last heir of the family, Lawrence
Washington. This young man, who
was present at the sale, is a great
grandson of General Washington’s
brother, and a son of the late John
A. Washington. Mr. Washington is
a dark complexioned young man, of
medium height and size, who only re
cently came into possession of the
property. Before the sale began, Mr.
Jennings, of the firm of Thomas &
Bons, explained the reasons for it.
The books were stored in a room of a
house belonging to the family, which
was rented to a Pennsylvanian, who
promised that it should be kept con
stantly locked. When Mr. Washing
ton examined the library he found
that the promise had not been kept;
that volumes had disappeared, the
autographs had been clipped from
others, and that there was danger
that the whole collection would be
scattered in a few years.
In the Washington Collection there
were 138 lots, and in all about 250
volumes. The total amount realized
was $1,933, with which price the auc
tioneer expressed himself entirely
satisfied, saying that it was more
than he had expected he would re
ceive. Few of the books have any
value except that which had been
conferred upon them by their distin
guished ownership. Many were pub
lic documents, of which there are
numerous copies in existence, and
none of them were rare. An inter
esting feature of the collection was
the number of volumes of military
and agricultural subjects, showing in
Gen. Washington at once the soldier
and the country gentleman.— Philad.

Quinine.
The introduction of chinchona cul
tivation into India appears to have
been attended with remarkable suc
cess; the plants, in fact, have not
only been transplanted from one
quarter of the globe to another, but
they have been converted from wild
to cultivated products. The bene
ficial results, medically considered,
of thus bringing quinine and the
other febrifuge alkaloids in the chin
chona bark within the reach of the
people of India certainly cannot be
exaggerated. Though commenced
only some fifteen years ago, there are
now, it is estimated, between two and
three million plants on one of
the Government plantations alone be
sides the various private plantations.
In addition to this there were sup
plied last year, it seems, to the man
ufacturers about 92,000 pounds of
bark for the preparation of quinine
in a cheap form. Mention is made of
the fact that one of the chinchona
trees thus grown in India has attain
ed a height of thirty two feet, with- a
girth of about twenty-nine inches.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York 'Tribune. , by the wel
known agriculturist, Solon Robinson:
All the farmers were of the "well to do” sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention
to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey,
and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in
which deposits ot peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, alter it
has been exhausted of its natural iertilitY.
It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable
condition for pleasant larraiag, that we know of this sido of the Western prairies. We found some
of the oldest terms apparently Just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a
hundred yearn ago.
The geologist would sbon discover tbe cause of this continued fertility. The whole country Is a
marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally In
the form of indurated calcareous marl, shewing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia
ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted
form, aud in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as tbe farmer desires to
cultivate,

This incomparable preparation for the Hair I*
com mended to the public on its own merits.
It prevents the Hair from failing off, producing

and Judge for yourself.
[From Rev. E. T. Baird, Soc’y of Publication ef
Presbyterian Church South.)
RichvoKd. July 27,18T4.
The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have
ever used which has removed the dandruff from
the scalp and made my hair soft and pliable. It
has also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, 1 have
no doubt, it will preserve the color.
E.T. BAIRD.
[From Rev. Mr. Cameron, Minister of Presbyte

Xanthine Cos., Richmond, Va.:
I have need the Xanthine now for three years,
and have induced others to buy it, and have nev
er known it to fail in accomplishing all you
claim for it. It is an excellent tonic, a pleasant
dressing, removing and preventing dandruff and
all unpleasant itching, promoting and preserving
the natural-growth and color of the hair, and ren
dering it glossy and pliable. 1 confidently,
cheerfully, knowingly recommend it.
