Process of Cremation.
From the London Lancet. |

Professor Brunette gives the details of the
apparatus that would be required for the
process OF lncremation. After having
made several experiments on the human
subject, in which the bodies were burned
In the retorts of gas manufactures in closed
receptacles, and with free access of air. he
first satisfied himself that the complete and
perfect performance of the process would
be impossible under all ordinary circum-
stances In the first place, there is required
an oblong furnace of fire proof bricks, hay
ing ten holes below, by means of which the
intensity OF the fire ban be regulated, The
upper part of this should be hallowed TO
receive the coffin, and over this domed
cover is to be placed, by which the flames,
as IN reverbatory furnace, NAV be directed
upon the body. Within the coffin is metal
support or table on which the body
rests, fixed by thick iron wire. The
operation embraces three periods-the
heating of the body, the spontaneous
combustion. and finally the incarceration of
the soft parts, and the calcination of the
bones. During the first period, and about
half an hour after the pile of wood in
the furnace has been lighted, the combus-
ton OF the body commences. 1t gives Oft a
large quantity of gas, and the management
OF the reverbatory part of the furnace is of
great importance. If the wood has been
well arranged, two hours suffice to produce
perfect carbonization. During the third
period. the air holes being opened, the
carbonized mass is collected and placed
upon fresh plate, and the heat is now
urged to the utmost; fresh supply of
wood is inserted. BY means of this arrange
ment, at the expense of about $50 pounds
OF wood, complete incrematon-that is to
say, incremation OF the soft parts and cal
cination of the bones-may be effected in
two hours. When the furnace has cooled
the cinders and bones are collected and
deposited in funeral urn.

A Story for American Bows.

Nj. Jules Verne's new story, the Myster-
1ous Island, which is now running" as a
serial in his Paris magazine, commences in
a notable way. It is written for American
boys. ana presents in it's characters and
opening incidents some points WORTHY of
note. The time is March, 1861 and the
place Richmond, Virginia. Richmond, in
vested by Grant. Is completely cut OIL from
Lees army, and the governor of the city
has no means of communicating with Lee.
In fact, Richmond is in exactly the same
condition toward Lee as was Paris toward
General D'Aurelle dc Paladine during the
francO-German war. Under these circun-
stances one Jonathan Forster, determined
Confederate, chatting under his inability to
cross Grants lines and reach Lees camp,
determines to made the attempt to leave the
city by means of balloon, which is fully
inflated and ready for departure, but which,
owing to fearful tempest that is prevail
ing, is left fastened in the public square
awaiting more propitious day. In the
meantime the five real characters of the
story are plotting to take possession of the
balloon and depart from the city. These
persons are the Hon. Gideon Splett, a war
correspondent of New York paper, who
has been captured by the Confederates
Major Cyrus Smith, aged about forty-fve, a
Massachusetts man and Union officer, TO
whom, during the war, the United States
railroads-also prisoner of war; Pencroff,
a Northern man and sailor, who, with
young Herbert Brown, New Jersey lad
had gone to Richmond in the beginning of
the year 1865 from the North on bust
ness matters; and, finally, Nabuchodo-
nosor, called Nab for short, negro
man about thirty years old, who was born
slave on Major Smiths plantation in Mas
sachusetts, but whom Smith, an Aboitionist,
had long since emancipated. Nab, who was
very devoted to his master, had left Massa-
chusetts to join Smith in Richmond. All
these people, including Smith and Spilett,
are perfectly free to come and 90 in Rich
mond. The five come together on a dark
night, when the wind is blowing, enter the
basket of the balloon, cut the ropes and
whlrl away in the tempest. The tornado
continues for four days, and in that time
the balloon is blown westward for 1000
miles, and is finally wrecked landing the
adventurers on mysterious and desert
island in the Pacific ocean. At this point
begins the records of their fortunes and

slavery and slavery hated him. And because.

And while the mortal mist is gathering draws

THE LRGEND OF EASTER EGGS.
By vIrz JAMEs o'BRIBs.

Trinity bells with their hollow lungs.
And their vibrant lips and their brazen Tongues,
over the roofs of the city pour
Their Easter music with joyous roar,
Till the soaring notes to the sun are rolled.
As he wings along In his path OF gold
Dearest papa" says my boy to me.
As he merrily climbs on his mothers knee.
why are these eggs that you see Re hold,
COlOred SO finely with blue and gold
And what is the wonderful bird that lays
Such beautiful eggs on Easter days"
Tenderly shine the April skies,
Like laughter and tears in my child5 blue eyes,
And every face in the street was CAV,
Why cloud this your gster's by saying nay
30 cudgel my brain for the tale he bess
AND tell him the story of Easter eggs.
You have heard, my boy of the Man who died
CroWQed with keen thorns and crucihed;
And now Joseph the wealthy-whOm God reward
cared for the corpse of his martyred Lord,
ana pIous,y toinbeG it within the rock,
And closed the door with a mighty block.
NOW close by the tomb fair tree grew,
with pendulous leaves and blossoms of blue:
ana deep IN the green trees shadOwy breast
a beautiful singing bird sat on her nest,
winch was bordared with MOSES like malac hite,
And held four eggs OF an ivory white.
Now when the bird from her dim recess
Beheld the Lord in his burial dress
And looked on the heavenly face so pale
And the dear feet pierced with the cruel nail
Her heart nigh broke with a sudden pang.
And out Of the depths of her sorrow she sang,
All night long, till the morn was up
nhe sat and sang in her moss-wreathed cup,
song of sorrow wild and shiili
As the homeless wind when it roams the hill
40 full OF tears. so loud and long,
That the grief of the world seemed turned to song
but soon there came through the weeping night
A gutterInS angel clothed in white,
AND he rolled the stone from the tomb away
here The Lord Of he Earth and Heavens Law:
ana Chrlst arose in the evenings gloom
ana In living luster came from the tomb.
NOW the bird that sat in the heart of the tee
behed this celestial Mystery.
And Its heart was filled with a sweet delight
ana IL poured song on the throbbing night;
Notes climbing notes. till higher, higher
lhey shot to heaven like spears Of fire.
W hen the glittering white.robed angel heard
The Borrowing song of the grievng bird
ND heard the following chant of mlrth
nat haled Christ risen again on earth
te SAID Sweet bird, be for ever blest
myself. thy eggs, and thy moth wreathed nest -
md ever, my child, since that blessed night.
y hen death bowed down to the Lord of Light
The eggs of that sweet bird changed their hue
Ind burned with red, and gold and blue
mankind in their simple way
IT the holy marvel of Easter day.

Like plates Of brassy armer
The yellow plowed lands lay
Upon The valleys bosom
For leagues and leagues away.
Along them shines and shimners
The lazy moving stream,
As DER a chld's soft bosom
The idle ribbons CLEAN.
The mountains velvet helmet
Mods darkiy on her crest,
As though some untold passion
Was trembling IN her breast.
The green leaves chant together
4 weird and mystic strain.
And the feathery tenants mingie
Their notes IN the wild refrain.
The shadows sweep DER the valley
Like an evanescent blot,
That seems like d holy feeling
Begrimed with an impure thought
Twas thus lay the quiet valley,
And the sentry hills held SWAY
Ere the bugle notes scared the song birds,
Or the reveiile woke the day.
And now was the emilins Sabbath,
And the sweet.t9n gued meeting bells
Rang out like an incense waited
Der listening bills and ceils.
The soldiers eaten the cadence
Borne out on the distant air,
IL Coiut1s " tItiI Wtdly Spiiibo
Like the thought Of an angels prayer.
But vain the holy summons.
The prayer remains unsaid,
the singers lips are silent,
The sermon Is unread;
While long and dusty columns
OF un-browned troops file by.
Nerved by the rigid purpose
To win the day or die.
A,nor Tho atbu nf Aha upouu+ain
Moves up the dark blue line,
The gun wheels grind Ger the boulders,
The FURNISHED bayOpets shine.
Way up in the leafy covert
The curling smoke b6tTays
Where the foe throws down the gauntlet
And the answering cannOns blaze.
The crack of the mimic rifle,
The shrek Of the plunging shell,
The ring of the flashing sabre
Their tale of the conflict tell.
They tell of the dear lives lying
Wars food in natures lap,
Ere the starry flag in triumph
Waves through the mountain gap.
Night drops her plying mantle
To hide the bloody scene
Next morn q Thousand dead men
Mark where the foe had been,
And where the fight was hottest
Two mangled cOrpses lay,
One clad in dark blue jacket.
The other IN homespun gray.
Their bands are clasped together,
Their bloody b0sOms show
Each fought with dreadful purpose,
And fell meath each others blows.
They fell. and the crimson mingled.
And before the paling eve,
Back rolled the storm Of the conflict
To the peaceful days gone by.
Each thought of the mystic token,
The talikmanic signs;
Each recognized q brother
Two firm rightshands entwine.
The fire from off the altar
Touched not their hearts in vain;
All hate fades out, uniting
Both hearts with the triple chain.

"One-nnd-Thrae.,,

A burlesque of Victor Hugo's novel of
Ninety three" is now appearing in the
pages of Punch, under the title of "One-
and-Three," and it is so clever that its
authorship has been attributed to W. S.
Gilbert. AS a taste of its quality, we
offer the following selections from late
instalment. They are not copious enough
to allow the reader to appreciate the
travesty of one ofthe most characteristic
scenes in the novel, but they will indi-
cate the success with which Victor HUI.
COS peculiar style is hit off;
A few minutes later and the captains
gig had been brought out.
Bobdilot explained the nautical terms
for this gig. They were two shillings for
the first hour, eighteen pence for the Sec
ond. Naturally the Old Man began
with the second.
The captains gig, once hired, was i'm
mediately lowered. This did not alter
the price. 1t was bargain. An agree
ment There are certain provisions in
every agreement. These were placed in
the gig, They were, dozen of cham
payne, tres sec, Strasbourg pie,
Welsh rabbit, raspberry and currant
tart, three tins of Australian meat, a re-
frigerator, cut off the joint and saus-
age machine.
Till now the old man had been the
distinguished passenger; now, out of the
light, he could no longer be distinguished.
In the darkness beggar is as good as a,
king.
The start was quickly made. The boat
got well away from the vessel. The old
man in the stern, the sailor who had vol
unteered in the bow; it was merely bow
without a trunk. In the stern the old
man lay asleep on the chest
The troops on board were the mounted
marines. They we're divided into officers
and submarines.
They nailed the white feather to the
mast.
Then din like the peeling of three
hundred oranges burst over the depths
of the sea.
Only those who have peeled three hun
bred oranges can know what this means.
The sailor spoke:
DO you know where we are now
The old man replied;
Il can tell exactly by my magnificent
He opened his chest, and produced
some notes.
He said
This is the upper sea. A little lower
down is a fat. We can land there"
Day appeared. Without Martin.
The two sat in the boat. A white and,
apparently, a black man. The latter
could have explained this had he been
willing. He could have said; ut is ne
cessary l should be kept dark"
He did not say it, however. The ST.
lenee remained unbroken. A silence
once broken cannot be mended.
The sailor broke it.

stern, and said
