EDITORIAL NOTES.

Burning dead bodies is called "crema-
ton" Precisely why such name is
given we do not know, unless it was less
significant Of what was intended to be
meant than any other word in our die
tio9ary of the English language. 81
Home aud School, an educational
monthly published in Louisville, comes
to Us with its April number full Of in
teresting reading matter. This publica-
cation improves every month, and should
be found upon ths table Of every fami-
ly in the South and West.
There is Il the city of Louisville, a
large and handsome school building,
three stTies high. and about sixty-fve
BY fs,f -ass fret. Of splendid architect
NJ k.ign, erected by the coIored peo-
,ple Of that city for the purpose Of ecfd-
eating their children, The building il
an ornament to the city.
The other day we read Of the narrow
escape from instant death Of little
child, aged about two year,. 1t had
wandered into cut ON a railroad and
tsat down. In few minutes the train
came along and by the heroic conduct
of brakeman, the engine being revers-
ell, the little one was saved. We men
ton this matter in order to suggest to
parents aud others who live near rail-
ways, the necessity for caution, and TO
warn them not to permit their children
to play in such places. Here in our
town, many children, black especially.
play upon the track every day, and we
wonder that some of them have not been
killed long ago.
The hotel keepers at Niagara Falls
have concluded to put stop this Sum
mer to swindling strangers who visit
them. We think this is well enough.
A more Infamous gang Of thieves never
cursed a country than those at this cele-
brated place. This is especially true of
the Canadians who keep low tavern at
Stairway on the Canada side. Hack
drivers, express wagoners, errand boys,
etc, make it their business to extort
money from strangers. We wonder
tha, people have ''tamely" submitted to it
so long. A few striking examples would
remedy the wrong, and the good citizens
of Mia CARA owe il to themselves and to
the visitors to put stop to it.
Another lunatic fell from trapeze
bar recently and broke his neck. We
have no tears OF sympathy for men or
boys who will, for filthy lucre or glory,
engage in this hazardous accomplishment.
Rope or wire walking, traps1e exercise,
ETC., are a class of exhibitions which
none but the fool-hsrdy will attempt.
There l. not prominent performer in
the business who has not been very seri'
ously ipjurel at some Time, and ii is on
ly a question of time for their sudden
and awful death if they persist in this
profession. Ii is a morbid taste in peo-
pie who throng such places OF amuse'
ment, and we believe that many people
really enjoy such catastrophe as befel
the poor creature who wa killed the
other day.

MARRIAGES AND HOMES
ny NELLIE MARSHALL. M'ArEE.

Every woman entertains her own pos

these two subjects. Marriages and

the subjects are two whose bare contem-

my heart with divine glow.
Somewhere-a long while ago-I read
a paragraph not longer than my little

soul and sense that committed il 10
memory. II mn thus;
"Six things are requisite to create a
happy home Integrity must be the
architect. and tidiness the upholste-er.

4 POSSIBLE EXCEPTION.

are supposed 20 be proved by them in
some mysterious gnanners Bre there may
he too much proof TO be agreeable some
times. We have a case in point We be-
iieve IN the say ing that nothing is lost by
| politeness and ccurtesyo Perhaps one may
! sometimes be victimized slightly. how
ever, in which case he must look for his
reward in lis own conscience We have

compels Us to apologize TO ouS readers. 1t

It does no: do to sneer a: the rivalry OF

all the equations worked out by all the
Professors, the railroads carry in COMPETE

how they do il. Lu: they do We ex-
planned I. sho.: time since tina: the Ealti-

much tonnage Tor Baltimore as the .Iiss:s.

we ID tina. the New York Central carries

5,56i.27I tons, and the Pennsylvania Cen

river tonnage to New Orleans, which We
estimate at abou. one million Of tons.
scarcely equals one-fourth Of the commerce
Of either Of these railroads. The compare
son of values ard travel moved by the
modes compared would show even q
create. difference agains. the Missis-
sippi, since the merchandise, treasure
and travel movement between the
most popular sections. are conducted by
the youtes named. We therefore repeat
that railroad which shorte,ls the transit
between Western and ocean waters by
nearly one-thirl ove: any route row work
ing. OF which is indeed practicable. is the
mos. formidable riva. that has ye. ap.
peared TO the Mississippi. Whe, our st.
Louis friends shall remember that the
FIVE p,:ncipa! railroads. mentioned with
the New York canal, are competitors
among themselves for our trade. and that
their competition anon: themselves is a
common and conjoin: competition against
the Mississippi, they will perhaps see the
folly Of advocating the scheme ~ which
Professor Eads proposes to control the
Mississippi river by plank pahng. and
apply to the representatives in Congress O.
the railroads and cities mentioned 70 keep
up ard extend the palings.
But the claims o: this Virginia railroad
are addressed TO st. Louis herself, and she
is advised to pu. on steamers and Iarges
to transport her grain down the lIissis-
sippi and up the Ohio to the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad. 1t is argued that it
will be cheaper, more direct and safer than
the Mississippi. Mr.. W. C. Cabell, who
addresses this argument through the St.
Louis Republican, even persists in object
ing to the ''deleterious influences from
moist, warm climate, so :.:ai 70 NEST Of

the products OF the West, if 40 unavoida-
bic or accidental delay occurs in forward
ing from New Orleans" This the st.
Louis Republican publishes without con-
tradiction.
Such is the formidable competition now
organized against the Mississippi. 1t be-
comes more serious when We find st.
Louis approached with inducements to
move her grain across the mountains
rather than by the natural route to the
sea. The proposal of Mr. Eads to occupy
the mouth Of the Mississippi for some
years with an experimental work plays into
the hands Of the railroad rivals During
this period there may have grown up such
a consolidated control of the Western
trade as that the mouth of the Mississippi
will be regarded as an outlet only useful
to carry cotton to New York. When such
a result arises st. Louis will have other
ways Of commerce, while the only one
that New Orleans can possibly employ
will remain undeveloped.
We apprehend, therefore. that what
with the dissension among the friends of
our outlet improvement and the develop
ing opposition of rival routes, our pros
poets axe not rs promising as we could
wish.
If st. Louis persists in pursuing this
policy Of dictation. the consequences mus:
fall principally upon New Orleans. We.
therefore. again appeal from a course
which has become not merely unjust. but
and adjare the press and PEG.
pie Of st. Louis 20 support the ship canal

any and every other experiment which it

rent. Yet, when Benton was ridiculed
for seeing China through gap in the
Rocky Mountains, We are content to be
condemned because we see the products
and wares Of Missouri sold in Valparaiso
and Rio Janeiro. To command this trade
will require steam direct between st.
L ouis and those extreme points, with
transfer. OF course. as New Orleans: and
this srade. whether visible Or nee to our
tutors OF ST. Louis, will soon be the great
relief Of the Changers, and the market in
which the manufacturers of st. Louis will
