Cremation i'm 1792.

The movement to substitute burning
of the dead body for burial, has recall
ed the circumstance of the burning of
the body of Henry Laurens, of South
Carolina. He was an eminent mer-
chant of Charleston, was one of the
patriots of the Revolution, was Presi-
dent of the Continental Congress, and
become distinguished as a statesman.
In 1779, during the Revolutionary war,
he was appointed Minister Plenipoten-
tiary to Holland, to negotiate a COM
mercial treaty; but the vessel in which
he sailed was captured by British
frigate. His papers, which he threw
overheard, were recovered by the enc
my. He was iucarcerated in the Tower
of London, and at the close of the
war was appointed a Commissioner,
with Franklin and Jay, to negotiate
the treaty of peace.
He died December 8, 1892. By his
will he directed that his body should
be burned, and made provision alien
ating from his son his estate, valued at
more than quarter of million, un-
less the request were needed. A letter,
written from Charleston at that time,
says that the reason Mr.. Laurens gave
for this singular desire was that his
body was too good to beeaten by worms.
A foot however, in Ghadwick's
Report on Intramural 1nterment
states that Henry Laurens, having an
infant child die of smallpox, when
the body was laid out, caused the win
dow to be opened to admit fresh cur
rent of air. The air, blowing over the
body, restored the child to life, and in
this manner it barely escaped being
buried alive. So horror-stricken was
Mr.. Laurens at this event that he left
orders in his will, as before stated, for
his body to be burned. The funeral
pile was erected on beautiful spot on
his plantation. The body, wrapped in
twelve yards of tow-cloth, was borne
upon the shoulders of four favorite
slaves and laid upon the pyre, when
incense and perfumes were thrown
upon it. After the funeral services
were held beside it, the flames were
kindled, and when the pile was burn
ed, the ashes were collected and placed
in a silver vase.-Ne,o York OF

TENNESSEE RAILROADS,

The bill 'for the relief of Tennessee
came up in the house of representatives
Friday, 18th inst, and Mr.. Frye, of
Maine, reported from the committee
on the judiciary the following substi-
tute for the bill
That the Secretary Of War, by and
with the advice of the Attorney Gen
eral of the United States, be and he
is hereby authorized and directed to
compromise, adjust and settle ali de
mands, legal and equitable, between
the United States and the State of Ten
uessee in relation to railroads and rail
road property and obligations growing
out of the same, on such terms as may
be equitable and just and best calcula-
ted to protect the interests of the
United States. And in aseertaining
the liability of the State for the prop
erty purchased by the Edgefeld and
Kentucky and the Memphis. CIarks-
vile and Louisville railroad, he will
charge only the actual market value of
the property to the date Of the pur-
chase with legal interest; that value
to be ascertaiDed by proof or by agree
ment with the officers and agents of
the State of Tennessee; provided only.
that said settlement shall be made and
executed before the meeting of the
next legislature of Tennessee in sess-
ion, or if not so made and executed,
then that this act stall be approved by
tho Soid laofSl la4ura % 80 - -.
in session.
This report is recommendation of
simple justice to Tennessee. It is well
known that when the sale of the roads
rolling stock, etc., was made By the
Federal TO the State of Tennessee,
after the war, it was done to some ex-
tent under duress, and at price double
the real value of the property. Itwas
done at a time when military satraps
had their feet upon our necks and un-
scrupulous sdventurers and campbell
lowers had control Of the State aud
we're gouglng deep down into the treas
ury. Gov. John G. Brown and other
State officers have shown a disposition
to make fair and equitable settlement
with the United States treasury de-
partment, and the report of the com
mittee shows that they are in favor of
settlement upon the basis Of the true
value OF the property at the time it
was turned over to the State, or, as the
.awyers term it, a basis of gHGntaHa
naerant. If Congress will pass the sub
stitute thus recommended by the COM
mittee, it will relieve this State of
81 400. 900 of her present estimated in
debtedness, and upon which the people
are now paying taxes to meet the iR-
terest of 7.3 per cent. This we sup
pose is the result Of the visit of Gov.
Brown to Washington several weeks
ago: MIR. Frye made an able speech
in defense of the substitute, and he
will ever be kindly remembered By
Tennesseeans for the spirit of fair
dealing manifested by him.-MempAis

Drunkenness and GluttOny.

A. retired physician writes How
does it happen that, amid the eyerlast-
ing cry against drunkenness, We never
hear a word against its evil, gluttony?
| think [ can assert with truth that, in
a long practice, three have died among
my patients from eating, where one has
died from drink. Whence come apo
plexy, paralysis, dyspepsia, and host
of other diseases, but from too much
and too rich food taken under the
most imprudent circumstance. And
yet we hear of no society formed to
prevent this growing vice. A man eats
until he drops down and expires with
apoplexy by the road side, when up
comes the coroner with jury of twelve
good men and true, who pronounce a
verdict, Died from intemperance. "
So he did, but what kind of intemper-
ance was it? have heard more than
one minister in the pulpit expatiate
with great vehemence against the sin
ofdrunkenness, whose very appearance
was proof positive that he was pre-
eminentIy guilty of gluttony.

WoMANLY MonESTY.-Man loves
the mysterious. A cloUdless sky, the

but the violet which hides its blushing
beauties behind the bush, and the
moon. when she emerges from behind
a cloud, are to him sources of inspira
tion and pleasure MOdesty is to merit.
what shade is to figure 10 painting; IL
gives its boldness and prominence.
Nothing adds more to female beauty
than modesty, it sheds around the
eountenanee halo of light, which is
borrowed from virtue. BOtanists have
given the rosy hue which tinges the
cup of the rose the name of maiden
blush. This pure and delicate hue is
the only paint that Christian virtue
should use; it is the richest ornament.
A woman without modesty is like n
faded flower, which diffuses an un-
wholesome odor, and which the pra-
dent gardener will throw away from
him. Her destiny is melancholy. for
it ends in shame and repentance.
Beauty passes like the flower of the
aloe, which blooms and dies in n few
hours, but modesty gives the female
character charms which supplies
the place of the transitory freshness of
youth.

The Southwestern University.

We have lost the University, and do
not wish to conceal the fact that we re-
gret it. To Messrs. Hendrickson, Nc
Nair, TUmlin and Anderson, who so
ably represented our interests at the
late meeting of the Board Of Trustees
at Memphis, the thanks Of the com
munity are due. They are also due to
these who to the full extent of their
ability, by contributions, sought to
win for Jackson the prize contended
for. Clarksville is the victor, and we
congratulate her. The beneficial
effects of such Institutions upon city
or country cannot be Over-estImated
Napoleon the lst, in speaking of Ger
many sixty years ago, said: That
country is dead in all things except the
Universities. They are like republi-
can pulse beating in a mon1rchical
body" In the end this pulse vitalized
an empire, and the result is obvious.
The Southwestern, as its name indi-
cafes. should be nearer the Mississippi
river than it will be. but we would
rather that it should be at Clarksyille
than at Huntsville or Opelika, not be-
cause we would bring harm to Ala
bama. but because we would bring good
to Tennessee. The addition Of great
University, with such a man as DIR.
Palmer at its head, TO the intellectual
wealth of the State, is a matter Of con-
