Lady Dilke's Cremation.

THE Lancet gives a correction of the
account of this affair published in the
English papers. 1t says:
The account, which is in many par
ticulars inaccurate, seems to have been
composed by an opposer of cremation
for the purpose of representing the proc
ess in the most revolving light possible
We are authorized 10 state that the real
facts of the case are as follows: The
lady in question had an extreme horror
of the idea of burial, which to many is
far worse than that of cremation, and
the fact of the cremation being Carried
out by her relatives is evidence only of
their determination to carry out the
deceased's wishes. The difficulty of oh.
tanning permission was immense, and it
was only granted on condition that
representatives of the public bodies and
ministers should be present, among
others those of the clergy. For this
reason the furnace was not completely
closed, Us it would be if cremation were
an ordinary and recognized process.
Every person present-the number was
about twelve-was requested and prom
ised to make no communication Of the
details to others, and the account pub
lished can only have been gained by
breach of this promise. Nor was even
the name Of the deceased known to the
by.standers. What was in reality the
fulfllment of last wish, carried out at
great trouble and sacrifice to private
feeling, is represented in the light of a
coarse experiment.

United States Treasurer's Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.
Gen. Spinner's report is completed and
in the hands of the printer. He devotes
considerable space to an argument in
favor of issuing interchangeable bonds,
to bear interest at the rate of 3.65 per
cent. His arguments on this point are,
in the main, the same as those of last
year, except that he believes that it
would be wise to allow holders to ex-
change the 3.65 for outstanding and 6
per cent. bonds. He says that the great
est objection to a metallic currency is
its lack of elasticity, and is of the opin-
ion that the adoption of the convertible
bond will correct this evil. He thinks
the rate of interest will be high enough
to sell the bonds, to the absorption of
any surplus currency, at any time,
while it will he enough to force return
of the bonds in exchange for legal-tender
notes when the business of the country
demands more currency. The rate of in
terest at one cent a day on the hundred
dollars would he popular with the
people, he says, because it is easy of
computation. He argues that the con-
version of the IS and Is into lOw-rate
bonds in the event of the condition of
the currency demanding such a CONVEX
sion would result in the material
reduction of the interest on the public
debt, and make it payable entirely in ma
tional currency at home, and not in gold
to foreigners.

A Romance at a Railway Depot.

Ten years ago all Germany held no
happier persons than Katherine D.
and Carl. He, in the strength of his
young manhood, had sworn to love and
protect the fair-haired belle of the
Rhenish village. They had grown from
babyhood to youth and from youth to
mature years in the same town, and
Carl's idea of womanly grace was per-
soniticd in the young woman whom he
had that day married. The simple man.
ners and quiet life of q village home
seemed to fill their hearts with content,
aid when son blessed the union their
cup of happiness was full. The young
couple were possessed of fair share of
this worlds goods, and their standing in
the society of their native town was
high, both families being able to trace
their genealogy into the remote past.
But, alas! the serpent entered Eden.
An adventures came into the simple
German village and the same old drama
that had SO often been enacted was
there repeated. An acquaintance was eff
fected by the woman with Carl, which
ripened on his part to wild infatuation.
At last, after weeks of beguilement on
her part, the unprincipled woman in
duced Carl to elope with her.
AO uCoCAtCN WIG, ldltllul ~ uCI lOFC,
endeavored by every means in her power
to trace her husband, but all her efforts
were fruitless. The guilty pair came to
America and settled in Chicago. Here
for several years they lived as man and
wife, until the faithless woman became
possessed of a large sum of money by
means of fraudulent checks which Carl
had deposited in the bank, when she
suddenly left him, leaving behind her a
note, telling him that she had started for
Germany.
The faithful wife with her boy, now
grown to lad, had, in the meantime,
come to America, and through friend
had learned that her husband was in
Chicago. Starting for that city, she
reached here Saturday on the mail, and
stopping for dinner was, through acct
dent, which seems almost fate, left. The
eastward-bOundm mail reaches here some
time before the westward-bound ex-
press departs.
The husband started East in pursuit of
the woman who had been the cause of
SO much misery, and left the train while
it was stopping here for dinner. In the
waiting-roOm the poor, injured woman
and the man she loved met face to face.
The scene that ensued we cannot de-
scribe. From German lady who had
been drawn in sympathy to the lone
woman while she sat waiting, and who
had learned her history, we obtained the
facts here SO briefly related. The hus-
bands confession supplied the missing
links in the story.
The westward-bound train bore the
reunited husband and wife to Chicago.
where, let us hope, the experience of the
past will teach him to value the love he
was led, through listening to the tempter,
to betray.-MarshaW (Aieh.) Statesman.

Winter Decorations,

Those who desire to make their homes
beautiful during the coming winter will
now find n any things in the woods which
they can utilize. A month or more is
yet given us for collecting the bits of
color and graceful ferns which remain
from the summers wealth.
Foremost among the things which it
is advisable to collect We would mention
the ferns. OF course the green ones
may be obtained at any season, but in
ADDITION to these one can now find great
tufts OF lumber, golden, yellow and tawny
ferns. Some of the more delicate varie.
ties will even be bleachcd out white by
the action OF the weather and look like
skeleton leaves. These contrast we'll
with the others. All should be carefully
pressed and dried before using.
The grasses, which are even more at
tractive for winter use, require no special
preparations; they dry of themselves
There is no limit to the variety and grace
OF these. Some hang in festoons of arm.
pointed grains, some are like military
pOmpOns, some bearded or woody, and
still others SO delicate as to resemble
smoke. In arranging bouquet of grass.
es one is surprised to find how great is
the range of color at his command. The
tints are not as deep as in flowers, but
they are quite as pleasing. The sedges,
many OF them, may be used in the same
way as the grasses
Any one living in the country is ia
miliar with the beauty of the clematis.
The vines Chamber over shrubbery OF
hang lanes from the trees and are fea,h
cry with the silky tails of the fruit
They make beautiful wreath about pic
lures or mirrors. The common green
briar, or wild smilax, has bright, shining
leaves, often persistent through the win.
ter, and assuming beautiful bronze and
purple and orange tints. 1t may be used
like the clematis for gsrlands, and be re.
lieved by its own blue berries or the scar.
let ones of the so-called black alder. The
white berries Of the baneberry strung on
a crimson stem, the splendid coral clus.
tiers of the Jack-in-the- pulpit, and the
hips of the rose are all to be collected
We should gather the everlastings of
both kinds, and the bright green laurel
leaves. Indeed, any Of the tinted au.
tumn leaves should be kept and used
after pressing; but the laurel needs no
care. 1t may be used at once, and when
it becomes old and unseemly it is always
easy to replenish our vases. The MOSES,
lichens, and even sea-weeds are useful
for very many purroses-as for the dec.
Grafton of baskets, crosses, etc.
Besides the pleasure of amassing ma
terial which is to be of use in winter and
suggestive of the woods, which we can
no longer visit, is the delight of walking
in these delightful days. Most persons
do not care to walk for the sake of the
exercise merely, and if they can COM
bine useful and pleasant pursuit with
walking they are much more apt to in
dulge in it. They can have no more de-
lightful occupation than this which we
have suggested.-W. ". Bailey, in N. 7.
