ANOTHER CASE OF CREMATION. An.
other very satisfactory cremation has
been performed at Dresden, Saxony,
in the very same furnace employed f"r
the consumption of Lady Dllko'a body
Again the body was that of lady. til,
vito OF n German physician The SO
lemnIty ,lne to such cercmopy was
closely observed. The hall around the
furnace was decorated with flowers,
but SO unreasonable and prevalent was
the prejudice against thia means Of dis
posing of the dead lady's remains,
that no clergyman could be found to
speak burial address over her body,
aud this luck WIS supplied by Herr
SiemDds, the constructor ind pro-
ietor of the oven, who made au ap-
proprinto and impressive speech TIE
process of cremation was ecrecneI
from the eyes of the lady's friends by
an iron door, but opportunity was
given limited number Of scientific
mon to witness the transformations ns
thay took place. These gentlemen de-
acribed the spectacle as free from any.
thing offensive to the senses or imngi-
nation. There was 10 smoke or IN.
slightly change III the appearance Of
the body. After tho coifin was con.
sumed the corpse appeared. first in lis
naturul state. and rapidly passed. into
the successive stages of rcd aud trans
lucent white hent, and from the latter
condition crumbled into ashes. Iu
seventy eight minutes all organic mut
ter WAS gone. and all that remained
was small heap Of ashes, which we're
gathered into an nrn. THIS is decid-
edly the most successful experiment
yot recorded.
LIKE MASTER L1xR MAS-The New
York Commercial! Adrertissr gives the
details of case that occurred il New
York Criminal Court o few days ago.
in which dry goods clerk was on trial
on a charge Of dishonesty, preferred
by his employer. The latter gave q
woman two one dollar notes, which
ste was to haud the young man, us if
by mistake for single note. The
trap was we'll baitcd, aud the youth
fell into it, putting tho odd dollar into
his pocket. But ho was not without IA
fence. In his own behalf he stated
that he had been educated to dis.
honesty. His employer had haep
selling damaged goods. representing
that they had been wetted ut fire,
when in fact the hy,lraIt in the cellar
was brought iato requisitiou to da.
mage them. Tho CommHrrin, adds:
The clerks wera compelled to tell
falsshoods about the goods. and were
thus truined to rasca'ity. If law aud
justice were synonymous. tho Young
man, who simply followed out his
employers teachings, ought to have
besa invited to step down aud ont oi
tho prisoners dock, aud his ru up.nye er
should have been sent to jail. AS il.
was. the accused was acquitted. Eut
ths moral Of the trial is worth it's cost
to tho city treasury. \ business man
who cheats his customers may be sure
that his clorks will rob him."
