LIGHT At LAST,

From letter written by I. d. W.
Yonley, the Attorney General of Arkan-
sas, published in the st. Louis Republi-
can, we CLEAN the first ineligible and
troubles that We have come across. Ion-
ley is described to be cool, clear head
ed, reticent man, of considerable force OF
character and good standing as lawyer.
He says that the proceedings taken by
Brooks in the courts were perfectly reg
ular, that the Judge decided in his favor,
and ordered writ to be issued directing
the Sheriff OF Pulaski county to place
Brooks in possession Of the Office. That
Baxter has his remedy if he is injured, by
an appeal to the Supreme Court of the
State; but instead of doing SO, he resort
ed to violence, at d therefore, irrespective
of his legal claims to the Office, has placed
himself in the wrong. This explain
alton by the Attorney General
seems fair and impartial. The
more so Us Baxter caused the arrest
Of two of the Judges of the Supreme
Court; and, also, because he refuses to
appeal to that tribunal from the decision
OF the Circuit Court, and offers the arbi-
trament of his claims to the Legislature,
the President, in fact, to any one but the
properly constituted authorities. This
renders Bakers position very question
able, and shows that he prefers to trus
to passion, prejudice, or the exigencies o
party, rather than the real merits of hi
case, closely scrutinized in court 0
law. When once a man refuses to abid
by the decision of the properly consti
tuted court having unquestioned juris
diction of the subject matter, there is
screw loose in his case somewhere. Thi
is Bakers position, which is clearl,
shown by the very clear, temperate AM
satisfactory statement of the Attorne,
General. The fun of the thing is tina
he addresses it to Senator Clayton, who's
career as Governor of Arkansas clearl
demonstrated that no more INSCRIPTION
knave is yet unhung. 1t is good jok
talking to such man about equity an
honesty, when he has no more idea {
the meaning of the terms than he has {
the interior of Heaven.

CREM ALTON.

From the Philadelphia Press, April 49,
4 actual case of cremation occurred in
this city on Friday last The body of
George Opdyke, son of DR.. Francis OPP
dyke, WAS burned in the cellar of his late
residence, 1919 North Fourth street.
George died Wednesday morning. Or
ders were Immediately sent as follows
To boier-maker for a boiler-like con-
trlvance, SIX feet and half long by two
feet six inches in diameter, closed and
riyited at both ends. and opening in the
middle on hinges; it was to be made of
the best boiler iron. To n bricklayer to
construct furnace in the cellar, closing
up with a large opening beneath the
chimney, and making floor of brick;
half way in the furnace and half way in
the chimney Oh the brick floor were
erected two little brick towers, some six
feet apart, upon which the boiler or
coffin, flat upon one side, was to rest; for
two loads of yellow resinous pine.
The orders were all filled, and the
work done by Thursday night, and on
Friday morning at O'Clock the cere-
monies commenced. The body, perfect
ly naked, was placed within the iron
coffin, which was rivited and screwed to-
gether, put upon the little towers, which
rose about foot above the floor, the tin
throat piece taken from the chimney,
wood piled under, about and around the
iron coffin, and set on fire. The cellar
windows were opened for better draught.
1t will, of course, be understood that, to
prevent the boiler bursting, holes were
pierced for the escape of the gases all
along the upper sides. 1t was kept at n
white heat until O'Clock p. m, when
they ceased firing up. A cord and half
Of wood was used.
/ 1t was at first thought that the coffin
could be opened about midnight, but it
was afterwards determined to allow it to
remain as it was until daylight. 1t was
then drawn forth. When opened not a
vestige Of the body Misunderstanding
but about quart Of whitish gray ashes.
The ashes were collected, and are now
in an urn on the mantel in the doctor S
study There is not a particle of bone
among them, and the doctor declares
that when the ancients burnt their dead
on wood piles and collected the ashes
they took with them many pieces of
bone, for, he says, nearly all the old
burial urns opened contained small bits
of bone
During the burning, which the doctor
himself superintended, and which was
attended by several prominent physicians
and other gentlemen, there was little, if
any, unpleasant odor in the cellar. 1t
was about Z a. m. that the ashes were
deposited in the urn. When we called
upon the doctor he showed us about a
teaspoonful of these ashes. They are to
the touch much like pulverized sugar,
and perfectly odorless. The vase is
shaped like a common flower vase,
corked and sealed with red sealing wax,
and is about eighteen inches high. In.
scribed upon it are the birth and death
of George Opdyke.

this. bu, il did il. States were made and
unmade; shorn Of this privilege, invested
with that; tinkered and bedeyiled in
every possible manner. Ii one offered
to make a mild suggestion, in favor Of
ANYTHING like States rights, or obeying
the Constitution OF the United States in
letter and spirit, be was at once hooted
down, and classed with rebels, bourbons,
fossils. unregenerate traitors; and requir-
ed reconstruction forthwith. Now the
boot appears TO be on the other leg.
The Republicans are the stiict construc-
tionists. They, like JEFF Davis, want the
States to be let alone. They must not
bs iuterfered with on any account.
THE Constitution forbids it-or rather
does not authorize any such interfer-
ence. The States have reserved rights,
which cannot lawfully be assailed, etc.
When We read these and kindred re-
marks in the avowed party organs, we
rub our eyes and look at the title Of the
paper to see if We have not got hold of
some Old Bourbon Democratic journal
by mistake. But no, there it is, regu-
lar true blue Republican party hack.
Then we turn to the report of the com
mittee, and We find that it says that
| Congress has no constitutional right TO
| interfere. How long is il since these
| folks made this discovery. They have
/ been interfering for the last .eyen or eight
wears, and have raised Ned in every
blessed State in which it was possible to
do so. They reconstructed, and altered,
and patched, aud plastered, and re-
yersed, and turned upside down to their
hearts content, and now, when they see
that they have made horrible mess OF
the matter, then they stand off with theii
fingers in their mouths, like a boy caught
in dirty trick, and say they are sorry,
but they cannot NEEDLE with it any more
They admit that things are all wrong
that the people in those States have beer
and are being robbed, that crying abuses
exist that the condition OF South Caro-
lima, Louisiana, Arkansas and Others
is pitiable in the extreme, but it cannot
be helped, and the unhappy wretche'
who are being plundered and reduced tc
beggary must do the best they can, fol
help there is none. This does seem &c
us a very lame impotent conclusion to
reach after all the legislation, the setting
up and pulling down, the oceans
of buncombe that have been spout
ed, all the Boosting and Dragging
that the end of all these stupendou!
efforts is, that in several OF the State!
which were subjected to these extraordin
airy schemes and treatment, the peo
pie are being brutalized by oppres
sion, impoverished by an insupportabl
burden of taxes. and so hopelessly il
debt that the payment of principal or in
terest is out of the question. Such is tn
result of past interference, but turtle
interference for the purpose of remedy
ing these evils is not in order This i
certainly a non sequitur, for il the fol
: mer interference were right, and We

IMITATION.

The other day, when we were COM
menting on the probable action of the
infationists, after being checked by the
Presidents veto, we said that the green
back gamblers had made too much money
and were too arrogant and pertinacious
to be easily reduced to submission. Oar
kilograms show, that We were entirely
correct in our views Of the presumptuous
insolence OF these stock and gold gam
blers, backed as they are, by the Rail-
road Lobby. They have had sufficient
influence to induce a majority OF the
Senate Finance Committee to report an
amendment to the House Finance Bill
authorizing the issue of additional Ma
tional bank notes 10 the amount OF
SlGi 900, 900, while So, 900, 900 green
backs are to be retired as the new Ma
tonal bank notes are issued. This would
So, 000, 900, aud would serve to still fur
ther fasten the mill stone Of the National
Bank system on the commerce of the
country. However defepsible or expe-
dent that system might be in time OF
internecine war, that time and the neces-
sity are long gone by, The question
therefore is properly in order, as to
whether it is wise to give practical
monopoly of the banking business to
those institutions organized under the
National Bank Acts. To this interroga-
tory neither Congress or the Admins
tration has yet given any satisfactory
reply. But though it may be put off, it
must ere long be answered, and some
very good reasons given why free bank
ing should not be as permissible as any
other business Of like Importance and
magnitude. As this feeling is gradually
gaining ground in monetary and business
circles, is it not remarkable that the Sen.
ate Finance Committee choose to utterly
ignore public sentiment and report q
bill increasing the circulation far more
than that did which by the President has
Just been vetoed, and instead of repeal
ing the unwise restrictions on general
banking, increases and renders them
more difficult to be removed 1t takes
Just about such stamp of men as Nor
ton and Ferry and that ilk; Gallons, reck'
less, corrupt and conscienceless, to re.
port q bill authorizing that which IL vas
majority of the people and also the Pres
ident has Just condemned. Also to pro
pose adding additional burdens on com
merce, when the best and wisest citizens
of the country are devising the re aides
means of removing them.

SUPREME COURT.

We extract from the Virginia Enter
prise the decision OF the Supreme Court
in the case of Schaefer VS.. Bidwell,
which was appealed from the District
Court of this county. In the same issue
of the Enterprise another very important
decision was published, but it is alto
gether too lengthy for our columns. 1t
was an appeal from Esmeralda county,
and involved the constitutionality of the
Funding Act which was passed specially
for that county. A majority of the
Court, Justices Belknap and Whitman,
decide in favor Of the validity of the act,
from which opinion Justice Hawley dis
sents. Ii this decision remains I'M
changed it will go far to support the con-
sttutionalty Of the various funding acts,
which by many lawyers and prominent
ex-Judge were thought to be within the
constitutional prohibition forbidding the
passage Of special legislation:

Ir has been demonstrated that, at
certain intervals, when food is receiv-
ed into the stomach, gastric juice is
secreted to digest it, and that no more
gastric juice is secreted than is requir-
ed for the digestion Of the proper
quantity Of food.
fla person eat twice or thrice day,
at regular periods, the gastric juice is
secreted by the stomach to digest the
food it has received. If, while the
food is being digested, more food is in
introduced into the stomach, diges-
ton. in relation to the food already
in the stomach, is arrested
For instance: q person takes, in
the morning, piece Of bread and sew
eral potatoes now, it will take about
three hours for the stomach to dispose
Of that food. Suppose the person,
about an hour after eating this food,
takes piece of bread and an apple or
two what would happen ? The di-
gestion that was going on in the stom-
ach would Immediately stop, and not
be resumed until the food that was re-
ceived last was brought into the con-
dition of the first Suppose he took
food every hour, what would be the
consequence The stomach would be-
come prematurely worn out, and could
do nothing pertectly-worklng all the
time without rest. BIT if the person
vossessed good constitution and a
large amount Of vital power, he would
not feel, at first, this drain npon his
system, but sooner or later he would
have to pay the penalty of outraged
nature. For instance a person may
have large capital in bank he can
live upon the interest very well. but
he draws upon his capital. He does
not feel this drain at first, because he
has 50 large a bank account but if
he keeps on. he will become, soouer
or later bankrupt. Some persons
have an enormous amount OF vitality
good constitutions. 1t is said OF
these persons nothing hurts them !;
they can eat and drink anything with
impunity. This is fatal mistake !;
see how many years Of life they are
cutting of by such foolishness. II
such persons live to the age OF seven
ty or eighty, they might have reached
the age of one hundred or more years,
by better dictetic habits. - Science OF
