THE ASH-HOPPER.

The Burns club-Cremationists
What's in aname Dir. Sexton, of New
York, heads the cremation movement in
that city. .-,.
The Bishop of Manchester has declared
in favor of cremation, and states that the
Almighty can raise a man from the dead
whose body had been burned, just as easy
as he could raise one whose body had been
buried
Tt is calculated that if the body OF each
Of the 269,673 persons who died in the
United States i'll 1870 was allowed full
sized grave, the whole would occupy about
202 acres. If they were eremated, the ashes
would make excellent manure for about d
thousand acres.
The Jeeish Chronicle says that at q re-
cent meeting of the council representing the
Jewish congregations of Berlin, d motion
was brought forward to the effect that inn
mediate steps should be taken to make
arrangements for the Leichenyerbrennnng
(burning of bodies) in one Of the Jewish
cemeteries i'll the city. The motion was
adopted by large majority.
There was fun in the Senate the other
night. It was getting late, and a tiresonle

The Nevada Democratic Slate.

Not Il little speculation is now going on
concerning the layout for the campaign.
lii the West, it seems to be pretty well
conceded, so far as concerns the Democratic
slate, that Senator McBeth leads all com-
petitors for Governor. 4. c. Ellis and Gov
ernor Bradley are the contestants, but
Bradley has not the strength lie had four
years ago, and We doubt il Ellis cares for it
we rather look to see him pondering the
Senatorial prospects.
Z. G. Lyman, who has made SO admirable
a Warden OF the State Prison, will likely be
a candidate for the observation-disclosures
ship.
For Congress, Thornton and Kitterell are
newfoundland then kitterell is thought
by some to rather incline to the Attorney
Generalship.
Schooling, for the nomination for Treas
urer, will tind no serious opposition in his
party.
Thcn with the minor nominations attend
ed to, comes the asserting Of material, all
over the State, with which to elect our
United States Senator. Doubtless there
will be connubiating for the nomination Of
State Senator'S and Assemblymen; and there
viii be cutting after the nominations have
been made. Many a thing will be played,
too, across party lines. Williams agrees to
make the Democratic fight, if they will
give it up to him to make. Williams has
an abundance of money-can put in more, if
if he chooses, than Jones did in his memo
rable moneyed fight OF IL. 1t is doubtful,
however, whether he will spend his money
with very lavish hand. Sharon can put i'll
more than the fortunes Of Jones and Will
liams, and not miss the money. If he and
Williams once get to eross-tiring over the
party lines. times will be warm.-.Neasure

A California Love Tragedy.

It was pretty hard case. Ernest Rensch
kept store and lived alone in Alpine county,
California He shut up shop and went all
the way to San Francisco afoot to get a
wife. He found a woman that suited him,
married her and took her out into the AL
pine region. In just eleven days Mrs
Rensch left his bed and board, and went to
live with Erick Erickson, Renscll's friend.
Erickson jol<ed with Rensch in a friendly
manner about the family incident. and was
very much obliged to Rensch for going to
San Francisco and bringing him out such a
nice, good-looking companion. Rensch
could not bear it any longer, SO one day he
took q gun and shot Erickson to death in
his own saloon, firing through the window.
Rensch then gave himself up to the author
tiles. The sheriff was taking him from the
Jail where he was, to some plaeeto be tried,
one day lately, and a party of masked men
rode up and demanded the prisoner. They
took him and hing him to bridge beam
until he was dead, and now the woman has
nobody to lean upon. Rensch was Dane
and Erickson and Mrs. Rensch were both
Swedes, and had national affinity which
caused all the trouble.

The New York Times in some comments
upon the last number Of the GALAXY, SAYS
of Lady Blanche Murphy, who contributes
an article entitled ssOur Neighborhood:n
6 The last named discourses upon country
life in England, but makes few curious
mistakes. There is, for instance, no pack
of hounds there known as the Peiteheley,'
and some of the phrases used in describing
Our Neighborhood are certainly not 10
calisms. =
With Difference to the Times critic, we
think Lady Blanche Murphy ought to know
best. The lady is a daughter Of the Earl
Of Gainsborough, of England, who made q
match with her fathers organist, young
man BY the name Of Murphy, and came to
this country. Those who sit down to the
excellent table Of Hart's Hotel, in Winches-
ter, Va, may see the lady eating her dinner
in the regular common place way. Mrs.
Murphy turns her accomplishments to prac-
tical account in her present station in life,
and as she writes the Galaxy article from
personal knowledge, it may be accepted as
good authority. Bastisaore american.

q Out of the TTurly- Burly," Max Adeler's
dedication: My original intention was to
dedicate this book to the friend of my boy
hood, Azan bin Gies, the Iinaum of Muscat,
in memory of the happy days when together
we played marbles in the Oman DESERT and
ducked each other in the Persian Gulf. and
tortured inoffensive cats on the Island of
Kishm. But have changed my mind;
have resolved to dedicate the book TO hui
morist who has had too little fame, to the
most delicious, because the Most unconscious
humorist, to that widely scattered and null
titudinous comedian who may be expressed
in the concrete as the Intelligent Compos-
itor. To his faculty of perpetrating felic-
itous absurdities, am indebted for ''laugh-
ter that is worth hundred groans." 1t
was he who, putting into type all article of
mine which contained tile Injunction, edo
not cast your pearls before swine,'' trans
formed the phrase into g Do not cart your
pills before sunrise. 1t was lie who caused
me to quote the poets inquiry, so that |
propounded to the world the appalling con-
undrnn, .' Where are the dead, the var
nislaed dead?f and it was his glorious
tendency to make the sublime convuisively
ridiculous that rejected a line in poem OF
mine, which declared that a 'scomet SWEPT
DER the heavens with it's trailing Skirts"
and substituted the idea that a ssCount
slept in a hay-tnow in q travelling shirt.
The kind of talent that is here displayed
deserves profound reverence. 1t is wonder-
fuland awful; and thus offer it as token
of my marveling respect.

LARa. ATTENDANCE AND An UNPRECEDENTED sup
PLY OF PouLrRr-rHR RULING PRicEs-IIB-
ERAL PURCHASES.
As this is the last market day prior 10 Christ
mas, the farmers and truckers made all due
preparations for it, and the result was that in
size and attractiyeness it is believed to have sur
passed any that have ever been held here be-
fore. King street, all the way from Front TO
Ninth, was one solid line OF wagons backed up
to the curb, broken only at the Intersections OF
the streets. The different market houses were
also abundantly supplied with all that enters en-
tiers into the food Of people, and it is safe to
assume that so large q quantity OF provisions
was never before offered Tor sale in this mar
ket.
The main feature of the market WA. of course
the display of poultry, which excluded much of
the usual variety OF meats. One would very
naturally be led to the conclusion, after press
ing his was through the throng which lined the
west side of the street, that ali the farmers had
been saving up their poultry in anticipation of
this days sales, 80 vast was the supply and so
superior the quality exposed for sale. There
was great abundance OF all kinds OF poultry
and turkeys, geese, ducks and chickens were
piled up on temporary benches, hung upon the
wagons or stored away in very large piles not
| yet broken in upon. Still prices were not ex-
cessive. Turkeys sold at from Is TO l6 cents per
pound and did not hang long on these figures.
Geese and ducks were readily taken at from IL
to II cents, and chickens brought from 10 TO ~,
cents
There was, of course, the usual press Of buy
ers, and the people seemed 10 be making liberal
purchases, exemphfying the fact that there is
still considerable money amongst us. Many
| persons, however, we're observed TO push then
way through the market through curiosity, we
suppose, looking longingly at the bounuful dis
play, but apparently without the money to buy
their Christmas turkey On the other hand there
were many benevolent persons in the thronl
! who were making purchases Of larger amount
than was required for their own families, and il
| may be that some of those whose desires 10 pur
chase were restrained by the inability to do 81
will yet become the poesessor OF some fat turk ey
duck or chicken which they were admiring 5,
heartily.
or evergreens there Was profuse supply
enough to almost induce the belief that all tn,
hills had been robbed Of their cedsrs and tn,
woods stripped Of the green vine beds whicl
abound IN all directions The treasury Of thu
nurseries had also been opened to meet the ex
pected demand Of this day, and some choic
ornamental trees were sacrificed to the needs o
the season. These trees commanded all price
from 10 cents up to $3.50.
Vegetables aud ali the other articles usual
displayed in tins market were plentifully sup
piled and At prices which were reasonable, ther
being evidently but little disposition to adyanc
prices because " the approach Of the holida

ExEouTIos SET AsDE.--In the Chester Coun-
ty Court of Common Pleas, few days ago, the
case Of John Janyiers, Trustee for the Oxford
cooperative Car Co., Us. James A Andrews was
argued This was rule to show cause why an
execution should not be set aside, and wac in-
tended as test case 70 determine whether GER
tain notes given by the citizens OF Oxford and
vicinity, collateral security for the debt Of the
Car Co. are due or not The Oxford Car Co.
executed a mortgage for $50, 900 to secure
the payment of bonds issued by them, and the
citizens of Oxford and vicinity gave Judgment
notes to the extent OF $4,000 as collateral se-
curity for the payment OF the mortgage. These
notes are drawn payable in one year, but condi-
toned that II the Oar Co. should pay their mort
gage in foe years, that the note should be void.
The property OF the Car Co. having been sold
by the Sheriff, the Co. being in fact dissolved,
1t is held by the plaintiff that the notes are now
due. On the other hand it is held that the notes
cannot be collected, and are not due until the

attic benevolence.
Charles Warner thought that the plan adopt
ed last year, sitter much trouble and labor was
the best that could be devised, and hoped the
d, system wOcld be carried out this year.
There seemed TO be general opposition 81
having person paid TO carry on the association

| OF Mr.. Israel in giving the outline OF the plan
adopted IN baltimore.
| Alter some remarks from Mr. fsrael, advising

Owing to the lAteness OF the season, il is d,
Q sirsble that each member of the committe

thoroughly canvass his ward to ascertain II
amount Of funds which we can depend upon r
ceiv.ng from it monthly In view Of the gre

consequent suffering for want OF adequate foo,
it's hoped that there will be- liberal and ge
erAl response to the application Of the comm
tee for funds.
