Cremation on a Grand Scale.

More than four years ago a young
Hindoo Prince, only %. who ruled over
one of the most extensive provinces in
India, and was n strong ally of Great
Britain, stopping at n of the Florence
hotels, on his way home from London
to his native country, was taken sick
and died after a short illness. He was
attended by n numerous suite, who, to
show their grief for the loss of their
beloved prince, astonished the Indians
by their mysterious Oriental funeral
ceremonies. On the night of the first
Of December, 1r70, on the very spot
where his monument now stands, they
prepared tho pile upon which they per.
formed the rite of burning the dead
body of their ruler. They mixed with
large quantities OF wood immense com
pounds Of camphor and odorous 0int-
ments, upon which ROBBED in his splendid
~vestments, and surrounded by his most
personal and precious ornaments, they
laid the remains Of their young rajah.
The pile was lighted about midnight,
aud burned till near morning. The
venerable Brahmin directed the cere.
mony, and, minglinQ his prayers with
those of other faithful servants, made
the groves resound with their lamenta
tious. At break Of day the ashes Of the
Prince were collected into a golden vase
which now rests in the sacred temple OF
his native India. In June of 1874 the
English government erected a splendid
monument to his memory on the spot
where his body vas burned.
