The Rev. Charles YOysey, who is somewhat known
as boter from the Established Church in England Is
now distinguishing himself as an advocate for chem
ically destroying the bodies of the dead. He thinks
they should be placed in some receptacle containing
chemical agents powerful enough to annlhilate the
outward form. There would, he says, necessarily be
some deposit, which one might call ashes and
which might be reverently gathered and placed IN
beautiful urn or vase. Mr.. Voysey says that the
condition of the cemeteries in England is frightfu
and that they propagate disease and death wherever
they exist.

Reports from the Far West show that the
cold of Winter has been extended far into the
Sprine. No such severe weather as that which
has lust prevailed in Nebraska has been known
20 late as this for years. The snow storms
have been so dense as to obstiuct railway
travel materially; and the loss Of life and suf-
fering among settlers are sorrowfully large.

A doctor in Greenyille, s. c.. writes 10 the local
newspaper TO say how he treats oerebro-spinal
meningitis. He battles the spine with spirits of
turpentine, and then passes over it well-heated
smoothing iron for fifteen minutes. At the same
time no gives qunne in heroic doses, each followed
by heroic dose of bromide of potassium, combined
in solution with an ordinary dose of solid extract Of
hyoscyamus. He throws in at the same time great
doses of calomel. After such treatment it is evil
dent tLat the poor patient must either die or get
well in self-defense.

pathetic incident occurred during the foods at
Binghamton A Mrs. Fox, residing near the cemetery
gate, heard, in the morning., peculiar moaning in
the direction of the cemetery. Going there she
found little child waist-deep in water and weeping
near maidstone, which marked lonely grave.
Upon being questioned she said that she lived long
way off She had heard that the graves were covered
by water and she feared that her mothers would be
washed away. So she went to keep her poor watch
and ward beside it, She was kindly cared for and
returned to her motheress home.

is notorious that something ought to DO done
to equalize the burdens of taxation. That
tho cities of New-York and Brooklyn

An American sovereign, married to scion Of
Spanish royalty recently presented for baptism at
the font little prince of his house. There are said
TO have been absolutely limits to the furious and
indescrbable bowls and yells of that aristocratic

such name upon the descendant Of Bourbon is
an outrage which even an elete civilization cannot
placidly bear.

Tho work upon which Mark Twain and Mr.
Charles Dudley Warner have been engaged for the
past year is likely to prove the chief literary event
of the season. It's first mention in The TRIBUNE has
excited great attention and interest and we are
able now to announce its name. 1t is called Tho
Gilded Age"-a name which gives the best promise
of the wealth of satire and observation which 1T Is
easy to expect from two such authors. 1t is an
unusual and courageous enterprise for two gentle
men who have already won honorable distinction in
other walks of literature to venture upon untrodden
paths with a work so ambitious and so important as
this is likely to be- In one sense there is nothing to
fear. An immense audience is already assured
beforehand and it is fair to conclude that writer's
who have displayed so much wit, insight and deli
cate and fanciful observation in former works, will
not be unprovided with the equipment which is
necessary to successful fiction. The new novel will
be eagerly looked for and enormously read and we
hazard little in predicting that it will contain as
much food for thought as for laughter

Disasters to Mr.. Thomas Murphy follow
now so fast they tax the chroniclers to tell
them. The calamity which lately befel HIM

the mind of his stoutcst follower
to learn that even at Washington

as we have pleasure in narrating elsewhere.
1t is unwelcOme business this of defeating
roguish schemes by exposing them before
they can be committed; but public duty I'M

Some CONSERVATION has lately prevailed
among teachers in the public schools on ac-
count of a rumor to the effect that tho new
Board of Education cOntemplates reduction
of the salaries of teachers. This seems to have
been an error readjustment of teachers
salaries and the reduction of the pay of clerks
and Others of the mere machinery of the public
school system have been talked Of We incline
to the belief, without having fully investigated
the matter, that our teachers generally are
underpaid, and We are sure the salaries of the
women teachers especially are in many
cases inadequate to their service. If
the new Commissioners imagine that the
general demand for economical admin
istration of public affairs requires or even
contemplates the reduction of salaries of
those who are the life of our educational sys-
TEN, they have read public opinion to little
advantage.
