The Horrors Of Buriai-Scenes In Pa.
risian ,raye-Yards.

Inc IarlS correspondent OF the -N6U
York Times writes as follows The
best mode of disposing of our deep is
once more under discussion here, and in
cremation seems to be making some
progress. A number of men have come
out III favor of burning our dead, and
when people show no fear of discussing
new theory there is every reason to
count upon its progress. Recognizing,
however, that the prejudice in favor of
our present mode of burial is very old
and very deeply rooted, no one expects
to see lncremation adopted Mt once.
Alphonse karr proposes that the munic-
ipal authorities should furnish the
means for incarceration III each great
cemetery for the use of those who favor
the idea, and henthinks it would soon
come popular when few rich and no.
bic families have publicly burned their
dead, with all due solemnity, and placed
their ashes in elegant funeral urns. In
scriptions could then be placed upon
them and the urns ranged on shelves in
the family tomb. But whether or not
this plan be adopted, we have reached
point when we are obliged to ask our
selves what shall be done with the dead.
Our larger cemeteries are full. A por-
ton of them is parceled out and sold to
parties q 2)erpetuite, but for those who
are unable to pay the price the limit is
five years, and although the dead may
be left a little longer, they are soon driv-
en- out, the ground is overturned, and
room is made for others. The bones
of all the poor who died ten years ago
now lie in one common heap, and once
more the cemeteries are filed. But the
soil refuses to do it's work any longer
1t has become saturated, ana will no
longer absorb. The graves arenow dug
in a mass of putrefaction, and exhala-
tons are constantly rising to poison the
living. Only thin layer of earth sep
arates the graves, and few days ago a
young and beautiful girl, the idol of her
home, was lowered into grave which
filed the minds of every assistant with
horror. A stream of liquefied putrid
matter was running in from the grave
beside it. Two grave-diggers recently
struck too near when opening grave,
broke open coffin, and died in few
hours from the poisonous exhalations.
Great precautions have to be taken in
digging ordinary graves, for, as have
previously stated, the ground is tho
roughly saturated, and can absorb NO
longer. The condition of the atmos-
piers and of the water in this vicinity is
something horrible to think about, and
it is not astonishing that the sickly
quarters of the city should be near these
great cemeteries.
