CREMATION IN GERMANY.-The cause
Of cremation appears to be rapidly gain
ing ground in Germany. The merits of
the new system of disposing of dead bod
les are shortly to be tested by practical ex-
pertinent in Saxony. the two principal
towns Of which, Dresden and Leipsic have
offered to legalize it, as an optional course,
supposing its advocates can practically
make good their assertion in its favor. A
furnace for cremation is now actually in
process of construction by Friedrich Sic
mems. a civil engineer. Its cost is estima-
ted at 5000 marks, OF S6,250, and it is
calculated that the complete combustion
of a human corpse will take about an
| hour
! The still increasing debt of municipali-
ties is attracting some attention and Great
ing, we are glad to say, some alarm. AL
most all the cities of Massachusetts. for
instance, have heavy debts which some
time somebody must pay. while there
seems to be no probable advancement of
the state either in population or wealth.
A local debt ought, we think, to be consid-
cred as an investment; and if it does not
promise in time to pay itself, it ought not
to be contracted \ city which is not ad-
vancing either in riches or population has
no right to treat itself to luxures which
the generation to come must pay for; and
a municipality doing this will sooner or
later find no market for its bonds.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, in order to compete more success
! fully for Western business from New Y ork
market, as we'll as from Baltimore, Phila-
delphia, New York, and Providence, have
established fast freight express line west
wa-d from Baltimore, which will make
close connections ut each roads terminus,
the same rs passenger express trains.
/ These trains will start daily at 2. NJ,
arriving ut Cincinnati on the third day,
and at St. Louis and Chicago on the morn
/ ing of the fourth day. To Louisville, Co
lumbus, indianapolis. Pittsburgh, and 9th
er points west, northwest, and southwest.
the time will be the same, due allowance
| being made for longer or shorter distance.
Paris Is to enjoy new sensation in a
line of horse-cars, which will 90 into ope-
ration on the Avenue de Neuillv on the 1st
of July, and, according to the description
of car on trial trip, lately, the vehicles
are in some respects an Improvement on
ours. Instead of the customary benches
on opposite sides there were fourteen cane
seat arm-chairs There is, however, no
roof, and no mention is made of any pro-
lection from rain The car was drawn by
one horse, and was of light construction
WHY can we not have some cars with
comfortable seats and definite capacity,
SO that Il passenger may know how much
space he is entitled to?
The St. Louis merchants are all agoo
with the idea of securing an important
trade with Brazil, and really it looks now
as though something mi CHIT be done in that
way 1t is stated that Brazil imports 80,
900 barrels of flour, every year, has no
manufactures. exports immense quantities
of coffee, and about S40,000,000 in gold
annually. Before the war, the Mississippi
Valley cities reaped profitable harvesls
from the South American States, but that
was broken up in 1861, and the trade has
never been resuscitated. Its resumption
would be a good thing for the entire South,
and we hope the endeayor to secure it will
be successful.
The new cable now on its way to this
country is that of the Direct United States
Gable Company, formed about year ago
by English and continental capitalists,
with capital of 100000. The cable
is 5000 miles in length. and will be laid
from point ON the New Hampshire coast
to Nova Scotia, thence to Newfoundland
the cable ship. the Faraday, will then re-
turn to England for another cargo to be
laid from England direct to Newfoundland.
The cable itself is a variation from the
others in construction. This company
promises to do business at fifty cents Il
word.
Emigration, which has been unusually
light SO far this year, is now rapidly in
creasing. On Monday of last week, over
four thousand foreigners were landed at
New York. and on Tuesday over twelve
hundred. An unusual proportion Of these
come from Italy, and there are now thou
sands of Italian laborers in New York
city, ready to work ten hours day for
$40. This breeds good deal of ill-feel-
inc on the part of the Irish against them
and recent murder in the city was due to
the hostility between the two races
Mr.. Hialmar Hjorth Boyesen in April
Galary tells us, by the authority of the

: say Biornstierne Bjornson. would kindly
tell us how to pronounce Hjalmar HjOrti
Boycsen's name we should feel less tired
when we saw it. We have a kindly feel

his Bible reading. Il call them all Moses,

The story is told of a retired rnm-sellel
, in Montreal, named Nelson, who built a
brick church, and in letters that occupied
nearly third of its side inscribed This
church was built by Thomas Nelson, at
his sole expense.-Hebrews Xxx, ETC.
Some of the college wags on carouse
got ladder and made the inscription
read with slight alteration: This church
was erected by Thomas Nelson at his
E souls expense. He brews (double) XXX

The Tichborne trial was no doubt OF
great value to the British nation as a SUBJ
iect of talk and speculation, but we doubt
if it was worth what it cost. The Treas
ury return, lately issued, presents the bill
for this luxury. including the items Of
council fees. witnesses, jury, shorthand
writer's, printing, etc. The whole foots
up to exactly f55, ,315 lis. Id, taking nc
account of the value of the time of the
court and its officials which was used
up.
