The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1874-06-16
A Elun,orisrs Idea of cremation.

l hardly think, upon the whole, that
! am in favor of cremation. The pro
cess seems to me to be SO frightfully
wasteful. At the same time,I am ready
ia admit that the dead miaht be used
much more proftably than they are
now. If man must be buried let him
be planted where he will make some
thing grow. ] remember that Cassel-
beny, of Vineland, New Jersey, once
laid his grandmother under his grape
vine, and by carefully watering her
twice day, he secured crop Of fifteen
bushels of Black Hamburgs. The sub
ject came up in the agricultural society
subsequently, and there was question
whether grandmother was the only fe-
male relative. that could be eficaciousy
used, and whether it should be pater-
nal or a maternal grandmother. Cas-
selbeny explained that he had known a
maiden aunt or second cousin to DO
equally well, and he had his STEP father
among the roots of his mammoth goose
berry bush with every prospect of su
perb crop. Very particular inquiries
were made by several members concern
ing the availability of mothers-in-law,
and man named Johnson said he had
been married four times and had used
all Of his mothers in-law in improving
the asparagus bed; he took the first
prize for asparagus at eight county
fairs Then the meeting suddenly ad.
journed, and fifteen mothers-in-law in
Vineland died during the succeeding
week.-Mar Adeler. 'iit.i a-ii.'e -. g

Humanity In war,

is related Of Henry ", the first
French king of the house Of Bourbon,
that while beseiging Paris, at that time
held against him by the Catholic League,
be was urgently advised to take the city
by assault before the troops daily ex-
pected from the King Of Spain could
arrive to succor the leaguers. He knew
that by determined assault he could
carry the works before him, but he pro.
tested against it on the pribGiple of hu,
manity. ~ #,e
81 will not" said he, ''expose the cap
ital of my country to the miseries and
horrors which must follow such an
event. ! will show to my people that
am their father; and I will follow the
example of the true mother who pre-.
sented herself before Solomon. will
not gain the prize through the slaughter
| of innocent persons"
In time Henry reduced the city with
the loss of but few lives. In a subse
Quent conversation upon the subject ol
the number slain, he exclaimed:
'sIf it we're in my power, 1 would
give anything but my kingly honor to
redeem those citizens, aud have the sat
isfaction of informing posterity that ]
had subdued Paris without spilling a
drop of blood"
We have another instance Of human
ity in the war Of 1886 between France
and Austria 1t is related of the Arch
duke Charles that, when fastening from
Bohemia to take command of the Aus
trian army, he met, near the scene Of
late action, large number of woun
ded soldiers, both French and Austrian
who, in haste of retreat and pursuit, ,hac
been abandoned where they had fallen
The only horses at hand which coulG
possibly be used in removing these help
less sufferers were attached to the artil
lery. 7H
"Let the cannon be left hehind," sale
the prince, "and let the poor fellows b'
saved" And when one of his generals
demonstrated, he added:
"No, no; let it be as l have ordered
The life of one brave man is better
worth preserving than fifty pieces o.
ordnance" tj ~ h 3-H1
When the French general, Moreau
into whose hands the cannon thus ahan
doned had fallen, learned the motive
which had prompted the Archduke &c
make the sacrifice, he ordered the whole
to be restored, observing that he should
be unworthy of being the opponent o.
his imperial highness if he took advan
tage of SO noble an act of humanity.
