THE Fastest TINE ON RECORD.
The Racine Journal claims that Lady
Mac" trotting mare owned by Mr..
E. 2. Dickey of that city, has made on
a five mile race in San Francisco, the
best time upon record, and gives a
long extract from the Daily Alta, de,
scriptive of the race. She was pitted
against Jerome" and 'Normahaul, :"
two famous California trotters. The
first mile was made in 1851; the Sec
ond IN 2:S63; the third in 2:S4t; the
fourth IN 2:364; and on the fifth mile
Lady Mac gave Jerome, the forward
horse the "clean 60 by; and futtered
past the stand the winner of the fast
est five mile race to harness that was
ever recorded in America, which is in
the unprecedented time of thirteen
minutes. This beats the best time on
record by eleven seconds.

the interests of humanity, and inquir-
ing into the causes of kerosene explo-
sions, to which few items of general
experience may perhaps be usefully
contributed. Kerosene, cannot itself
explode. The gas which rises from it
can. This gas is exhaled at various
temperatures according to the quality
of the OIL There are kinds which are
perfectly non-explosive at 14Oo Fab
renheit, and this is the reason why
fire often goes down into lamp, and
why lamps are often dropped and bro
ken without any very serious conse-
quences ensuing. BY carefully testing
ones oil before trying it, any one can
secure an article as safe as any infiama-
bic substance in the world. A kero-
sene lamp, moreover, cannot blow up,
unless it either breaks first or the fire
goes down the burner. Hence large
burner should always have a wick big
enough to fit it tightly, and this pre-
caution being taken, the lamp is per
fectly safe unless it happens to be bro.
ken by external force.

Cremation makes light of q

Mrs. Fadover says she has no
objection to strawberries and Gre
nation.
An anti-cremation philosopher
living near Lake Erie thinks the
dead should be drowned.
Should cremation ever become
adopted as a system, the expression,
"Peace to his ashes,' will mean
something.
"A cockney lady, speaking Of Gre

that all the dead corpsus shoul1 be
turned into h'ashes

The Oratorio of the Cremation,
now being rehearsed, has very
brilliant passage tor the fagotti.

One fatal objection to cremation
is that our great men whom we safe

1t only takes three hours and
about half cord of wood TO put q

If it be true that cremation will
cost only 50 a corpus, there will nc
longer be any need of discussing the
question whether it is more expen

will settle that doubt.

The Bishop of Manchester,
speaking of cremation, says that sin
early times people who believed in
immortality had in previous times
| burned the bodies of their dead.
The ancient Romans believed in i'm

The Manufacturer and Builder
says that a wealthy gentleman OF
New York city has added codicIl

death his body should be injected
with petroleum, placed in a metallic
coffin and then be deposited in one

Company's works. If afterwards nc
one wishes to inter his ashes they
are to be delivered to the Central
Park Commissioners, to be used as
fertilizing material on one of the
flower beds near the music-stand.

moral song on Money.

Moral Song ON Money.
Money is not happiness;
Wealth may co-exist with gout;
Buys the physic, ne'ertheless,
I Which you can't be cured without.
Money ,is not mutton; no,
/ Money ID not beer or wine;
L But to lack it is to owe
i Orievous bills, or not to dine.
Money occupies the purse;
Happiness is in the mind,
Elise it's state is the reverse
Woe with indulgence combined.
Happiness you purchase through
d Money that you wisely spend;
Money is the means unto
Happiness. and that's the end.
Who can keep o conscience clear,
Who can have mind at rest,
That of ruin lives with fear
Ever gnawing at his breast?
Others happiness your own
Would you render If you could?
'Tis by moneys aid alone
You can do your species good.
Happiness he may. below,
Find, with money who abounds;
None else can until they go
To the happy hunting grounds.
Money when man decries,
Ten to one his bond is due,
Aud that presently he tries
Out Of cash to svindle you.
