A Funeral According to Ancient Egyp-
tian Rites.
NEW YORK. Nav q.

NEW YORK, May 2o.
The funeral of Baron dc Palm, accord
ing to the ancient Egyptian rites, was the
occasion fer the gathering of nearly 1000
people at the Masonic Temple this after
noon. The deceased Baron, who came to
this country fifteen years ago, had ex-
pressed wish that no Christian priest or
minister be allowed to take part in his OBJ
sequies. They were conducted by the
Theosophical Society of this city, of
which the deceased was member. Only
those having tickets, about 1900 in all,
were admitted to the building. The as
semblage was we'll dressed and intensely
curious in regard to the nature of the
funeral rites. They we're of much
simpler character than had been expected.
The platform or altar was embelished by
an incense burner which, according to
the offices of the society, was emblematic
of the worship of fire, and a wooden cross
bearing serpent, who seemed engaged
in an honest but fruitless effort to bite his
own tail. This was typical, according to
a member of the association, of the evolu-
ton OF matter. Between the cross and the
vase of burning incense and directly in
front of the stage appeared the coffin. II
was handsome ebony casket, bound with
silver, and bearing the name, age and
titles of the dead gentleman. On it were
placed seven lighted candles, five of them
white and one red, and the other green
They also were intended to typify the
worship of fire and light. Seated on the
stage in circle behind the coffin were the
president and six members, or fellows, OF
the association. They were all clad in
| long flowing gowns of a heavy black
wooden material, and each of them bore
in his hand a bunch Of green leaves which
signified their good will and peace towarc

Col. Oclott, as master, conducted the
ceremonies. After brief intervals of music
the questions and responses began. They
consisted of curiously phased questions
and answers from regular ancient Egyp
tian liturgy in regard to the nature Of God
the human soul and a future state of exist
ence During the questions and answers
incense was burned. An old gentleman
who did not like the nature of the idea.

to leave the organ, so part of the musica
part of the ceremonies had to be dispensed
with.
Col. Olcott delivered lengthy address:
on the nature of theosophism, and said thu
deceased Baron, after long life in courh
and a career of ambition, finding nothing
in the creeds to satisfy his inquiries in re
gard to future state, found consolation
in theosophy.

this one feature of it. So far as any abso-

might just as well be in the main exhibi-

The Kansas Republican State Convention,
held at Topeka on the oath, adopted resolu-
ton declaring James 6. Blaine to be its first
choice as candidate for President of the
United States. Delegates were chosen to
the Cincinnati Convention.
The Minnesota Republican State Conven-
ton met at st. Paul on the oath, and elected
delegates to the National Convention.
strong Blaine resolution was adopted. The
platform declares in favor of hard money, or
its equivalent in paper convertible into coin.
In the case of D. W. Mum, ex-supersisor
of Internal Revenue, on trial at Chicago for
conspiracy to defraud the Government
revenues, the jury, ON the oath, brought in a
verdict of not guilty.
The Nebraska Republican State Conven-
ton was held at Fremont on the 2od and
oath, and adopted resolution instructing its
delegates to the National Convention to vote
for Blaine for the Presidency.
In an editorial on the Black Hills, the Chi
cago Tribune of the Oath says an old miner,
who has lived in Colorado many years, and
has had large experience in the mining bust
ness, writes: There is a little gold all
through the Hills, but do not believe there
are any paying diggings; at least none have
been found yet; and, if there ever is one, the
gold will speak for itself. The amounts re-
ported from time to time as being
received or even taken from the Hills
do not amount to drop in the
bucket in comparison to what should have
been taken out of mining camp if it was
gold country" Another correspondent writes:
As yet have not seen a gold mine in the
Hills that will pay two dollars per day per
man, and the wonderful reports circulated
in the States have brought thousands to the
country, without money or grub enough to
last them thirty days. Ifear, if something is
not done soon, many will suffer-"

SALT AND ASHES FOR SWINE.


When ! commenced farming in
1870, l was perfectly green ana
had no prejudices to overcome, but
sought information of my neig D.
bors on subjects as'they arose. a. hd
almost at first about hogs, as mi ne
commenced dying with the se-
called "hog cholera. " The u nl'
versal opinion was that salt was
not good for hogs, because it vorni-
ted them. l find salt and ashes a
sure preventative of all sorts OF
epidemic diseases, rarely losing any.
second, l was cautioned particular
ly not to let my sows and pigs run
on clover, as the pigs would surely
die. l put two gifts in clover
field to have the pigs as a trial, not
caring whether the pigs lived or
died, as had more than | wanted.
They brought out thirteen pea rly
as good pigs without a grain OF
corn as those on blue grass and
corn. They were little pot-b bel-
lied, but soon got over that; so
salt and ashes prevent clover fr ON
killing pigs. Third, | was told to
cut and mark when the sign was
in the feet ; with salt and ashes |
cut without reference to signs +
Fourth, 1 was also told that If l
permitted my hogs to lie about the
barn in the dust, they would get a
cough and die, certain. | have
tried wintering them two years in
and and about my barn under Il
shed, and lost one by being ov er-
laid the first winter, and if d hey
cough ii gives me no uneasiness.

pile.
noticed a discussion about coal
oil injuring hogs when applied for
killing lice. l tried it on some hogs
and pigs by pouring it out Of a
can along their backs; they kept
on eating, although they flinched
from it the same as they would
probably have done had it been
water. 1t killed the lice and there
were no perceptible effects pro.
duced on the hogs or pigs you
can attribute that to salt and ashes
if you choose, as | believe they are
very potent agents for good in the
animal economy. l never heard
until recently that rye was moi
good for hogs, because the b eard
clogged in and killed them. have
hogged down rye every year bu,
this, and do not remember to have
lost one when in a'rye field. Sal
and ashes. suppose, must have

Our FooD SUPPLIED TO EUROPE.
1t has been lately mentioned that
the competition Of the United
States with Russia in the wheat
supply has produced great de-
preston at Odessa, the principal
grain market of the black Sea. L he
United States are evidently de
stined to do much towards feeding
the world. we have a vast and
fertile territory, which, compared
with Europe, is sparsely settled, SO
that the product is far ahead Of r
own consumption, to say no hing
of our superiority Of agriculture
and of machinery for cutting and
marketing, and great facilities for
transportation. Wheat, however,
is only one Of the articles of food
which We can export to advantage.
American cheese, fish and oysters
are now found in most of the Eng
liSh and Continental market. The
successful shipments which have
been made of American beef are a
great triumph, and il they lie ad to
large foreign demand will h ave u
beneficial effect upon the cattle
raising regions of our country, es-
pecially texas, whose immense
herds have not had hitherto much
value beyond their hides. We have
various great ma:ts of trade in the
interior, such as Chicago, st. Louis,
Louisville and Cincinnati, Ito say

g should be limited to the principal offices
" and, in the subordinate departments of
" the government no individual should be
" removed on account of his political opin-
" ions Here we have the whole Theory,
and it should be the practice, of civil ser
vice reform. The country, we believe, is
ripe for it. but, as yet the politicians stand
in the way.
As another political evil he refers to the
abuse of public Office for private heht,
saying that it is by no means new politi-
cal vice. As an illustration of the per-
sonnet of the office holders, he refers to the
time when he was appointed postmaster of
New York city in the place of Fowler who
had defauted and abscOnded. Here he
found one of the principal clerks in the
person of a ''sachem belonging to a self
" styled tribe of Indians" -Tammany-
who was drawing a comfortable salary and
having no particular business, every much
" like male lndian in a normal state,
" lounging about the wigwam and letting
" others do the work" Another was a
clerk who visited the Office for about an
hour each Saturday afternoon, and drew a
larger salary therefor than many clerks who
worked from early morn till late at night
each day of the week. This clerk, as well
as the other, he removed, but the governor
was demonstrated with for making the re.
moval by senators and representatives., one
of whom subsequently became presiden! OF
the United States, who informed him that
the young man was appointed because he
desired to study law in New York city ant
with the understanding that he was no
"to perform the usual duties" And these
instances Illustrate the tendency of thu
present political system of appointments t
office.
FROM these political evils, which aifec
the whole country, he passed to those con
nected with the individual states, instanc
ing the election of judges by the people
The tendency of SO eccting judges is t.
create partisan courts, and he cited numer
Gus cases to prove this. The great major
ity of voters, he said, know nothing of I'll
man for whom they vote save the simpl
fact that he is the party candidate. ii
illustrated this ignorance by citing an In
terview with man of ''great intelligenc
d" and high standing" having business re
lations extending through large porto
of the state, who, on being requested t
vote for particular candidate for judge c
the court of appeals, said that he hac
never heard of him. There is much foo
for reflection in this statement, and W
commend it to those who have, for year
advocated the election of judges of the 81
preme court of Vermont by the people.
The governor then proceeded to col
slider social evils somewhat at length, bl
these we pass over, as our object, tn
morning, has been only to present Il
views on the political evils of our systel
and the remedy suggested therefor, accom-
panied by brief running comments of OF
own
