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. rrof.

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. Times*. 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. -x'jbdCJEa C 0 L U M B IIS DAILY TIMES JOB OFFICE, Columbus, Go.

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, M.
