The BuriaI-PIace of Ex-Gov. wright,
0f IudIaua


Correspondence oJthe Indianapolis Journal.
BERLIN, Friday, May "a, 1867.
The people of Indiana win be disap-
pointed when they learn that the re-
mains OF Governor Wright are to be
buried in Greenwood Cemetery, New
York, instead of within the boundaries
OF his State.
A few days before his death. amer
having called his son, J. G. Wright,
into his room, he said to him: "Indi-
ana will doubtless demand my iy
when am dead, and 1 should like to
be buried there among my old friends,
in the State where 1 lived, and in whose
life. But-Carrie wants me to be buried
in New York" His wife coming Into
the room shortly afterward, the subject
was continued, unfortunately for the
last time, and SO we leave the question
with regard to his burial decided by
the few words said at this time. The
reader very well knows that, under the
then existing circumstances, this was q
delicate and sad subject to be talked
over. However, to the remonstrances
of son, as well as father, Mrs. Wright
said: 81 want you, my dear Joseph, to
be buried in Greenwood, where can
go every day to visit and mourn over
your grave anu VINO cOulu De more
proper person than your wife to bestow
upon you these last marks Of her affec-
tion2" "welI," at last replied the Gov
ernor, "Carrie shall have the disposal
of my body" Here the subject was
dropped. A..
The wishes OF Minister Wright, how
ever, as above, and at other times ex-
pressed, were that his remains might be
Inferred in Indiana, in the midst Of his
fellow citizens, by whom he was loved
and honored. he also knew that his
memory in the future would be more
sincerely cherished IL his ashes wers
deposited in his own instead of another
State.
Nevertheless, the whole question
seems to have been decided upon the
ground tnat the wife had a claim upon
the body of her deceased husband,
prior to that of the State, and as the
Governor thus finally yielded to her
wishes, am informed that his burial
place will positively be Greenwood
Cemetery, in New York. Mrs. Wright
intends to take the corps from the vault
of the Dorotheen street Church back TO
America with her, as soon as she re-
turns, which will probably be in the
course of month.

The LINGO or IEnII street.

The New York journal Of Commerce
rhustries to educate an inquirer:
A Baltimore correspondent asks an
explanation of the terms used In quo
ting the rates for loans of gold. We
will try to give IL, although we wish 1t
understood that these technical phrases
are employed chiefly for tile benefit of
the initiated, who readily comprehend
them, and are not designed for miscel-
laneous readers who are less interested
| In the question. In explaining, we will
suppose "A has gold on hand, kept for a
rise or future use, and wants toborrow
currency upon 1t to make 1t available
as capital for present payment, without
losing his title to IL. He can deposit
the gold with bank or other capital
ist, and borrow money on IL to about
its market value, at, say five per cent.
per annum interest. But If he finds
that B has currency to spare and wants
transaction. That is, A lends B his
money for its equivalent in paper
money at the market rate of the day,
on the promise of B to return the gold
for thee paper again upon demand,
neither party to pay any interest. This
even exchange is called "dat." II
makes no difference whether the owner
of the paper OF the gold has a right to
call for a settlement, II each party has
the use of the others money until the
call is made, the rate In street parlance
is flat. Pc. -l.--s-
If there is more gold offering than
paper, the owner of the gold may have
to pay partial interest for the use of the
currency, and this is called rate "for
carrying"-that is, a borrows the cur
| rency OF B, giving the latter the use of
his gold, and agreeing 10 pay him, be-
sides, say two, three, or four per cent
per annum interest when the transac-
tion is closed. Oflcourse the rate for
carrying, even at the highest, must be
less than iull rates for call loan, be-
cause the owner of the gold can always
borrow upon 1t at that anywhere in the
street. ~
1t sometimes happens that gold is
scarce and wanted. Then the borrower
pays for its use, and this is called a
from the "carrying" rate. This is al
ways reckoned by the day. A few
weeks ago we were quoting from 1872 to
3-I6 as the borrowing rate. This means
that B lets A have his currency and
pays him this fraction of one per cent a
day for its use. The fiat is the even
balance between rate to borToD and
rate to carry. II there is borrowing
rate the owner of the gold receives so
much per day for its use, and has the
currency besides. If there is a carry
ing rate, the owner OF the currency re-
ceives so much per annum for the use
of his paper money, and has the use of
the gold besides. II the rate Is fiat,
each has the use of the others money,
and neither pays anything. We think
this is intelliRible to the simplest nm
Outstanding. We quote daily the OPEN
ing, highest, lowest and closing rates,
and these terms explain themselves.
The term Hhighest fiat" means that the
highest price for the use of gold during
! the day was an even exchange with
currency"

in order TO fill 1t the company have
thrown in two acres OF earth, averaging
ten feet in depth, three acres OF timber
and brushwood, the ditchings and
scrapings of hfty miles OF railroad track
for about eight years past, the old ties
of about one hundred miles OF track,
and about three thousand carloads of

A letter of the 30th of May from Rome
says that the priests continue to arrive.
They are determined to be in good time
for celebration which will occur only
on one of the very last days of this
month. A great number of High
Church dignitaries are expected. The
Archbishop of Tolosa has written to
have a convent prepared for his accom-
mediation and for that of eighty priests,
who are to compose his suite. Such an
enormous retinue is not unprecedented.
In 1862 the Bishop of Moulins arrived
in Rome with a train of sixty-fve
ecclesiastics. The letter says:
For the centenary Of st. Peter Rome
will be full of priests, but 1t is thought
that few laymen will come. Mean
while, great preparations are making.
This morning the Municipal Council
celebrate the day. 1t voted 5O,0OOf.I
which will not go very far. The festi-
val will be almost exclusively eccleSi
astical. There will be an extraordinary
illumination OF the basilica of the
Vatican on the 29th, and one of the
basilica of st. Paul for the S0th. There
are not enough lustres in all Rome, and
and Florence, so that you may Judge
that 1t is intended to do something
magnificent inthe way OF Illumination
in those two churches. The Pope is
much pleased; 1t is his delight to see
many bishops.arrive :and to get up a
fine procession with long string of
mitred heads. He spends a-great deal,
and does not know what economy Is.
This prodigality does not please the
Cardinals, but who would dare to tell
the Pontif that he must spend less2
Plus TX only does like all other Popes;
he thinks OF the time present, and
leaves 1t to his SUCCESSORS TO take care of
the future. Under his pontificate, the
Roman Government has incurred Eve
hundred millions of debt. This is
pretty well for small State, But mil
are to arrive; 1t seems throughout they
will all come with heavy chests of gold.
Such hopes are very much exaggerated.

A New Cement and Building
Material

In q communication to the French
Academy of Sciences, NJ. SoreI de
scribes a new cement, being basic
hydrated oxchloride of magnesium
1t is obtained by Stacking magnesia
with a solution of chloride of magne-
SUM in a more or less concentrated
state. The denser the solution the
harder it becomes on drying. This
magnetism cement is the whitest and
hardest of all those known to this day,
and it can be moulded like plaster, in
which case the cast requires the hard
ness of marble. 1t will take any color,
and has been used by the inventor for
mosaics, limitations of ivory, billiard
tables, &c. The new cement possesses
the agglutinative property in the high
est degree, so that solid masses may
be made with it at very low cost by
mixing it up on largo scale with sub
stances Of little value. One part oil
magnesa may be incorporated with
upwards of twenty parts of sand, lime
stone, and other inert substances, SC
rs to form hard blocks; while lime and
other cements will hardly admit of the
interpretations Of two or three times
their weight of eXtrancous matter.
By means of these artificial blocks
buildings may easily be carried on in
places where materials for the purpose
are scarce. All that is required is sim
IpIy to convey a quantity of magnesia
and chloride of magnesium to the spot
if there be none to be had there, and
then to mix them up with sand, peb
bles, or any other matter of the kind
close at hand; blocks can then be made
of any shape, and initiating hewr
stone. This magnetism cement may
be obtained at a very low cost, espe
cially if the magnesia be extracted
from the mother ley of salt works
either by NJ. Balard's process, where
| by magnesia and hydrochloric acid are
obtained at the same time, or else by
decomposing the ley, which always
contains large proportion of chloride
of magnesium, by means of quick
lime, which by double decomposition
yields magnesia and chloride of lime
containing certain quantity of chIo
ride of magnesium, and which, with
the addition of various other cheap
substances, may be used for whitewash
ing.

a Transformation Scene

George Alfred Townsend has been
to Newport, and among other things
which he saw and wrote about is this:
Here is bathing scene that struck
me yesterday: A lady all dressed in
azure, even to her boots, which were
OF the same ethereal hue; likewise her
Parasoi, her gloves, her little fat far
chion of hat; and the only relief to
this rare uniformity was the golden
chlgnon of hair that looked as if it
might be the reservoir of all this azure
dye. She had that pretty walk and
stylish manner of the New York belle,
and coming down the sand trippingly
she looked onl y more real than those
French Autographs we see OF superbly
shaped, dead-ripe ladies, peach tinted,
and with the clean cut feet of seabirds.
This creature disappeared. I waited
with guilty anxiety for her reappear-
ance from the little sentry-box of
bathing house. Merciful Pan! What
is this? A Iow-set, baldheaded, bare
footed apparition, rugged out in blood
red smock and breeches, with green
veins around the armpits and down tho
breast, and green belt, like seaweed,
bsecting her like an insect de6om. The
The nightmare of tho auto-da-fe went
straight down the beach into the sea,
as if to meet the anthropophagi, and
l stole to the bathing box down by the
rear side and looked in. There hung
q little skirt and jacket of azure; little
azure boots with azure strings were
set down coquettishly in the sand; the
little hat, like a leaf, was dangling from
a nail; and ball Of golden hair as big
as a pumpkin swung freely from a
beam. | could account for the dimin-
