feated in the Convention no Republican need
hope to carry the State. By appointing Dem

counties fair election could easily be held,
which would result in a sweeping Democratic
victory. Moses has fine house, costly furni-

going out of Office now. a purse of $50, 600,
raised by the Democracy and presented to him
would do the work. Why not buy Governor

A BEAUTIFUL DEFENCE OF CHRISTIAN
BUR1AL.-Judge O. A. Lochrane, in letter to
the Atlanta (Ga) Constitution, expresses his
views upon the sensational idea of cremation
or burning the dead in the following beautiful
and pathetic language, which will moisten the
eyes of all readers VINO have laid their beloved
ones beneath the sod
I would not destroy by fire the forms which
in life we cherished. 1 would not innovate
the customs of Christianity. l would not blot
ont the cemetery even with its shadows and
destroy the memories that weep over the forms
that lie sleeping in its mist of tears-for with
all poetry or imagination can paint OF the
gloom of the grave, we can see through the
drapery of shadows the star of Hope, and the
soul in all its features of beauty frightened
rising to where angels in the golden glitter OF
their circling wings crown it immortal; and
while affection may be troubled with the mate
rial destinies Of the grave, and may bend in in
agony over the resting places of the dead, still
there is light of faith that makes the spot
hallowed and holy, whether sculptured shafts
adorn it, or the dews trickling from the stars
freshen the flowers that grow over it. The
burial of the body becomes matter of less
Importance in view of the faith that returns it
to its mother earth. In that revelation 'it is
sown natural body, it is raised spiritual
body" and we shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed, in moment, in the twinklng
of an eye, at the last trump.
But in a materialistic view, could not en-
tertain the idea of reversing the customs of
our age and civilization by erecting funeral
pyres. Who could entertain the thought of
taking the little wasted forms we have gathered
to our breasts and strained to our hearts, when
God has summond them to His Kingdom; the
ewes that sought us, when dimmed; the lips
we kissed, when cold; the arms that twined
around us, when puseless; when to cut off a
curl is done with more tenderness than if they
were in life, aud rude word or touch would
shock us to tears; I say who could entertain
the thought of putting these little cherished
forms in flames of fire to burn into ashes.
Until my heart becomes stone and its foun-
tains are dried up, such sentiment would
give me shock of agony, and stick like a
knife in my memory.

A Bafiied Barber.

A travelling friend of the Observer was at
Rochester the other day, and he dropped
into barber-shop near the Osbun House
to get shaved. After he had been deprived
of the useless hairs upon his face, and a
portion of hi skin, by garrulous, clumsy
knight of the razor, the tonsorial artist
tossed the ends of his hair lightly, and the
following dialogue ensued: ~ -
Barber-Have a cut? Victim-NO. it
was cut last week, and I'm in a hurry.
Artist (looking at the clock)-You have
plenty of time before the train goes East.
Victm-I'm not going East Barber

What of Nellie E!

Some papers seem to think there is no
chance of Queen Victoria taking any
official notice of the recent event in the
life of SartOris, and that there is no prOba
bility of his being knighted, or otherwise
honOred for his success in forming an al
lance with the American Grants. They
have evidently forgotten the fact that Her
Majesty paid official attention to Miss
Nellie, while visiting England two years
ago, and bestowed upon her marks OF
royal favor not to be spoken of without
feeling akin to awe. We would also re-
call to their minds rather remarkable
fact, which was copied into our columns
two years ago, from the London cores
pendent DULY 2, 1922 of Manchester
(England) paper. This correspondent said
that when Miss Nellie Grant, the daugh-
ter of the American President, made her
visit to the House of Lords, the covers
which conceal the throne and royal chairs
of State were removed in honor of the
event. The correspondent took occasion
to remark that this was a compliment
never before paid except to a royal visit
or. During the sessions of the Lords the
throne and its environments are always
kept closely covered, except when bills re-
ceive the royal assent by commission.
Now. it must be admitted that such incl
dents as these certainly show the desire OF
Queen Victoria to SignaliZe and honor the
Presidents daughter. She is now, it is
true, the wife of an English commOner :;
but since she has become subject of Her
Majesty, we may fairly assume that the
earliest opportunity will be taken advan-
tage of to entitle her to stand before the
world as Lady SartOris.

Clearing Land With Dynamite.

The usefulness of dynamite in clearing
land was very satisfactorily demonstrated
recently on the estate of Sir W. Stirling
Maxwell. near the Forth and Clyde Ca
nal, Scotland. The operator, Mr.. Donnie,
after explaining the mOduS Operandi OF dy-
Mantle, turned his attention TO the root
Stumps of number of trees that had re-
Gently been cut down. \ one and half
inch hole was bored vertically to a depth
! Oftwelve or fifteen inches i'm one of the
stumpS, and then continued some two feet
| into the ground. Two or three cartridges
were put into the hole and firmly driven
home with wooden hammer. Then a
small primer cartridge, with cap-tipped
fuse was dropped in and rammed home,
and the whole tamped and stemmed by
filling it to the top with water. After
the explosion the stump was found rent
IN most extraordinary manner but the
general opinion was that the bOre-hole
had been made so deep that the energy of
the explosion had spent itself too much on
the subsoil and too little on the wood.
The next stump was bored to a less depth,
and the result of the blasting process was
more effective. In either case a few
strokes with an AK, by way of severing
the principal root members, was quite
sufficient to leave the woody masses in
such a condition that they could easily be
lifted out. With the next stump a hole
was driven horizontally inwards i'm the
clay, between two of the principal root
members to about the center of the stump.
The hole was charged and fired in the
usual way, and the result was greater
eruDtive and disruptive action, with a
smaller expenditure of time and labor.
The next experiments were with bowl
ders. all of which were very bard, tough,
and compact whinStOne. One small car
fridge, properly prepared, was laid on an
inclined face of bOwlder. then covered
loosely with sod and fired. As no rup-
ture was produced, shallow groove on
another part of the stone was selected for
laying on the charge. The latter was
loosely covered as before, and fired. The
destructive effect of this explosion was
very great. Two other large powders
were next attacked. The first of them
was imbedded in tolerably firm ground,
and on being fired in stu, without any
bOre-hole, was almost crushed to dust.
As the other bOwlder was imbedded in
sand, the small charge of dynamite used
at first seemed to have spent itself in
burying it deeper; but on employing a
stronger charge the bOwlder was so thor
Oughly broken that it might well have
been used for road material -Gdldrg
