An EXPENSIVE FuNERAL.-The Maharaiah
of Jondhpore, an Indian prince, has recent
ly died, and been buried according to the
custom of his race. The remains were ar.
rayed in royal robes and adorned with gold
and jewels valued at $4,000. Two ele-
plants walked in front Of the funeral process
sion, laden with gold and silver coins to the
amount of S62,500. At intervals of hun
dred PAGES portion of the coins were scat
tered among the spectators, who scrambled
for the prize. The body, shawIs and jewell
ry were all thrown together upon the burn
ing pile. Since the death of the prince five
thousand Brahmins have daily received food
and rupee each at the palace gates. The
inhabitants OF the province, as az expires
sion of grief, have shaved off their boards
moustaches and the hair of their heads.
The rajah left behind him the usual number
Of wives and concuhines. Many of them
were extremely anxious to be burned with
their late lord some from real grief at his
loss, and others because it was the fashion
of the country. But this act of devotion or
conventionalism was not permitted by the
authorities, greatly to the disgust Of the
widows.

BRoADCLOTH AN ENEMY OF HEALTH. -
Professor Hamilton, in an able address on
hygiene to the graduates of the Buffalo
medical college, denounces broadcloth as an
enemy to exercise, aud therefore to health
American gentlemen have adopted, as a
national costume, broadcloth-a thin, tight
fitting black suit of broadcloth. To for
eigners we seem always to be in mourning
we travel in black. The priest, the lawyer
the doctor, the literary man, the mechanic
and even the day-laborer, choose always the
same black broadcloth-a style that never
ought to have been adopted out of the draw
ing-room or the pulpit, because it is feeble
and expensive fabric, because it is at the
North no protection against the cold, nor is
it any more suitable at the South. 1t is
too thin to be warm in winter, and too black
to be cool in summer but especially do we
object to it because the wearer is always
soiIing it by exposure. Young gentlemen
will not play ball, pitch quoits, or wrestle OF
tumble, or any other similar thing, lest their
broadcloth should be offended. They will
not 20 out into the storm because the
broadcloth will lose its lustre if rain falls
upon it; they will not run because they
have no confidence in the strength Of their
broadcloth; they dare not mount horse OF
leap fence, because broadcloth, as every
body knows, Is 80 faithless. So these young
men and these older men, these merchants
mechanics and all, learu to walk, talk and
think soberly and carefully; they seldom
venture even to laugh to the full extent oil

tFrom the New Endowment, Juue Sal
Yesterday, one of the most dascatdly
incendiary efforts we have heard OF
was discovered at Independents Hall.
The hall isa sort Of headquarters for
deliberation upon liberal mattsrs
serves for anti Mormon meetings ; and
during the past two weeks meetings Of
committees were held there to plan
the decoration ceremonies. Yester-
day, gentlemen In the church found
that a hole had been broken in the
floors large bundle Of papers crammed
In, and the whole mass thoroughly
saturated with kerosene. Matches had
been lii and dropped upon the mass-
q number Of them-but fortunately 1t
did not ignite. Can any one wonder
in what INTEREST this incendtary at
tempt was made?
The Great event Of the year Is past,
and all Utah, from Bear Lake to the
banks of the Big Muddy, has subsidized
into It's normal repose. The circus,
| with Its long caravan OF wild beasts,
Its trained dogs, big snakes, fat hu-
mans, and Its elephants, has gone from
our gazs like a beautiful dream, carry
Ing with It several thousand dollars
and leaving a blissful memory indsli-
bly, stamped upon the mind Of tho
averase Mormon '~irrigator.'
Pick pockets, garroters ard thieves
are here thicker than lice In Egypt,
and frequently mako attempts upon
passers-by. A few evenings since, q
gentleman. from Alta was passing mp
Commercial srteet when some one
standing In q dark corner struck him q
severe blow with a club. inflioting a
severe cut just over the right temple.
On crying police his ~assailant ran
away.

The New York Times thus COM
ments upon the change In the Presi-
dsncy Of France:
We can hardly doubt that the strug-
gle which has been precipitated
through the fears OF the reactionary
party In the Assembly will terminate
In a great Republican triumph. France
Of 1873 is not tho France OF 1849, and
MacMahon Is neither y possible sue
cessor to the role Of Prince President
Louis Bonaparte, nor, to seek another
analogy, to the role OF General Monk.
The Assembly Is sovereign, 1t Is true.
and can, II 1t plsases, declare Henry
V. King Of France tomorrow. But
the three hundred and sixty-eight dep
uties who united In accepting the re-
signation Of President Theirs as final
are united In nothing save their fears
Of a socialist Republic. Half Of them
may believe in the pretansions Of the
Comte de Chambord, but the remain
der are divided between the adherents
of the Orleans succession and the res
toration Of che Bonapartes. =
The Republic exists In spite Of the As
sembly, and the trial of strength which
has been forced upon 1t will. II we
mistake not, result In evolving from
the existing political chaos a popular
government, stronger, more selt-rell-
ant, and moro stable than any that
France has yet seen.

With these grand ends and objects In

Issues upon which people differ, but
Jus. now there seems to be none wor-
thy the organization Of a party.
The Worlds idea Of galvsnising De-
mocracy Into life on the sole question
Of free trade IL simply absurd. The
Cincinnati Convention made the plat
form which the Democrats adopted last
year, and In that platform distinctly
stated that the question Of tariff should
of right be LEFT to the different Con-
gressional Districts. The Democratic
Conventlon at Baltimore adopted that
platform, and with 1t It's tariff plank.
Neither the New York World o any
other Democratic paper has power or
right to announce 4 different platform
for Democrats until a National Con-
vention shall DO called and a new
series Of resolutions adopted. The
World is arrogant enough 10 general,
but In proposing to read out Of Demo-
cratic ranks all who don't swallow Its
free trade notions It appears to IN out
slider peculiarly dlctatorisl In its as
sumptious. We don't think any pow
er less than Divinity can resurrect the
Democratic party as such, aud don't
believe Divinity will undertake the job;
but we do sincerely hope that honest
thinking men, formerly Of that organ
ization, will soon combine and form
al opposition worth contesting. 1,
will do much to weed out political cor
ruption to have a brave and capable

The telegraph informs Us that the
election for Supreme Judges in Illinois
has resulted In tho choice Of Judge
Scholfeld and the reelection OF
Judge Lawrence. Judge Scholfisld, 1t
will be remembered, = few days ago
was the recipient Of Z letter from a
farmers club Of Macoupin county, de-
string him to state his position upon
railroad questions, and to indicate
what his decisions would be should
issues between the railroads and the
people come up before him. He re-
piled, In q fearless Ard manly manner,
that he could not pledge himself to de-
eide In any particular way or indicate
hi. course while a candidate for = judi
cial position. and gave cogent reasons
therefor. Doubtless the farmers con-
cluded that q man who would not
r pledge himself to favor q faction to
gain office was the right sort Of stun
for a Judge. and voted for him. At all
events, It seems he has been elected
, and his position taken while q candi'
date shows him to DO tho right kind o.
q man. Judge Lawrence was elected
over Craig. the farmers candidate
He was the candidate Of neither the
railroad nor the opposition, but occu'
Died q position very similar to that o
Judge Scholfeld. For some week:
past there have been rumors tha'
Crslg, his competitor, was = all

their Interests, and smuggled Into the
