Cremation in Georgia.

In Augusta, on Saturday evening
last, says the Augusta CO1aStituttOnGltst,
the body of man who died on the Sd
in Atlanta was cremated under the di-
rection of g The Oriental Order of HUI
mainly" The coffin, handsome rose
wood, upon which was engraved upon
a silver plate, William R. Suppus;
aged, AZ; Died November 4th, 1876, :"
was placed upon the pile, and the Order
was then gathered in circle, solemn,
grand, and peculiar, around the mortal
remains of the deceased brother. After
the singular prayer of the Order had
been delivered by the Junior Friar, the
torch was solemnly and deliberately ap-
piled to the pile, and at once the flames
leaped upward and upward.
The coffin was soon enveloped in
flames, and thousands saw what had
never been known here before-a hu-
man body cremated. Balconies, win2
dows, housetops, trees, awnings, to say
nothing of the living mass that throng-
ed the street, were crowded to witness
the proceeding. While the fire was
tapping in angry fury the lifeless body
of this great man, the Friar delivered,
in the peculiar language of the Order,
most eloquent and touching GRAFTON.
Soon the coffin beganto crumble, and
a CHASTITY spectacle was presented to
the eye. The body, blackened, burn
ing, Kissing, smoking, was clearly visi-
BILE, and as the sitting odors filed tn c
air the shrieks and cries of men, WON
en-, and children were heard on all
sides.
After the funeral fires had burned
down all that was mortal of w. r. Sup
pus was gathered in the urn by the
"Most Worthy Keeper of the Sacred
Relics" and the society, headed by the
band playing the dirge specially writ
ten for the occasion, entitled, "He /:
gone to his long, long home, unsoaket
by water, returned to the hut, where
the ashes were deposited in the vault.
Then the society dispersed.

Treasure TrOve.

Some weeks ago a blacksmith by the
name of Jeffrios, residing near Palmy-
ra, Marion County, Mo-, took his fam
lily out hickory-nut hunting. One OF
the girls saw something that attracted
her attention in s hollJw tree, and
called to her mother to come and see.
Mrs. Jeffries scratched it out, and 1t
proved to be an earthen milk-jar COW
cred with a paint keg. Upon opening
it 1888 in gold and silver were found.
1t proved to be the property of Isaac
and Jacob johnson, who had placed it
in its hiding-placs the day before Col.
Porter captured Palmyra in 1862. The
money was given up TO the Johnsons,
and they presented $50 to the little girl
who found it.

Studying Out of School.

1t is indeed depressing sight, the
groups of girls released at night from
our public schools, struggling home

books, which they are to pore over with
intense anxiety during the long even
ing hours-hours. which should De de-

with that anxiety comes cough, sleep
lessness, loss of appetite, and long
train of formidable evils. We are al
most willing to say that girls ought to
be prohibited by statute law from stu.
dying out of school hours. A law Oh
this nature would seem to be as Inuch

A New Line to the West.

The New York Tribune, of Nov. %,
says: Steps have been taken to open s.
new trunk line between Chicago and
the Southwest at an early day, by the
way of the Canada Southern Railroad.
About 20 miles of the eastern part OF
the Chicago and Canada Southern Rail-
road-by which it is proposed to con-
meet Chicago with the Canada Southern
at the crossing of the Detroit River
were completed some time ago, but the
illness of Commodore Vanderbilt, it is
stated, stopped work. The road5ed
from Fayette-the western terminus OF
that portion of the road now in opera
tion-to Eden, distance Ct % miles,
had been made ready for the ties and
rails. From Eden to Butler, the east
err terminus of the Eel River Railroad,
the distance is only 9 miles, and the Eel
River Company has proposed to build
a track to Eden if the Chicago and Can
ada Southern will complete its line to
that place. By this means contlnu-
Gus line viii be established to Logans-
port, Ind, and thence to Lafayette, st.
Louis, Omaha, etc. This arrangement
will also give the Eel River Railroad a
direct connection with Detroit and the
North and East. The Chicago division
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
crosses the proposed new route seven
miles west of Eden, thus furnishing a
direct line to the Chicago and Canada
Southern to Chicago by passing over
seven miles of the Eel River track.
The Eel River Company has agreed to
pro-rate with the Chicago and Canada
Southern, and the Baltimore and Ohio
has offered very favorable terms for the
use of it's track to Chicago. The dis
lance from Eden to Chicago is about
$50 miles by the proposed route. 1t is
claimed that there is no intention OF
abandoning the original purpose OF
building an independent line from the
Detroit River to Chicago; but the new
line will be used until the main line IS
finished.

Florida.

The State Board Of Canyassers met on the
2Sth, and, in the presence of prominent rep
resentaiises OF both parties, eanvassed the
returns from all but one county in the State
those Of Dade County not having been re-
ceiyed. The face returns, as counted,
gave the Hayes Electors a majority Of A.
The Democrats gave notice that they should
produce evidence showing the returns In
several cases to have been fraudulently
changed in the interest OF their OPP
ponents, and the Republicans en-
tered protest against the counting
Of the vote in several Democratic counties.
Two returns were sent from Baker County,
one Of which shows 135 majority for Tiden
and the other 1.-THE one counted) Al for
Hayes. With the first return admitted,
Tilden Electors have 135 majority; with
both returns held subject TO future decis-
ion, the Democrats have two Electors by
five majority, one by three majority, and
the Republicans have one Elector by one
msjority.
Before the Returning Board, on the goth,
the Democrats introduced evidence to the
effect that the returns from one precinct in
Alachua County had been raised 219 votes
over the true poll cast, aud the Republicans
introduced counter afiidavits, which were
in turn discredited by Democratic evidence.

They say that they have carefully tabulated
the vote cast for Presidential Electors, as
shown by certified copies OF the duplicate
statements OF votes made by the official
canvassers at each polling place in the
state, and these statements show that
the highest vote received by any
1ilden Elector was Sc, $50, and the lowest,
S3,5Ss; while the highest vote received by
any Hayes ElectOr was II, 152. and the low
est, ASA. They further say that the re-
suit shown by these figures can not be ma
terially changed by The official finding Of
The Returning Board, without a palpable
abuse Of he letter aud spirit Of the law
governing the Board. In regard to ir-
regulariaes, intimldations, etc., they say
that they have been committed about
equally on each side, but not sufficient in
any case TO affect the general result. In
most instances, they believe, the acts OF
violence reported were mere lsw.essness
Quoting the PinkstOn easel, and had no
connection with politics. The report is
signed by John NJ. Palmer, Lyman TIum-
bull, VIM. Bigler, Geo. W. Julian, and p.

The ladies will be interested in hear
ing that the ex-Empress of the French,
having now less personal dignity to
maintain than when she was at the head
of a great nation, no longer dyes her
hair, which has consequently become OF
a respectable pepper-and-salt hue.
Equally important is the statement

The South Carolrs Legislature met on
the 2Sth. on the preceding night the State
houto was occupied by United States troops.
Entrance to the hall OF the House was re-
fused TO the Democratic members from
Edgefeld and Laurens, claiming their seats
by authority Of the State Supreme Court,
whereupon the entire Democratic delega-
ton, after protesting against their eXclu-
sion, withdrew and organized in another
hall with CA members. The Republican
House organized with 80 members, which
they claimed TO be quorum, and subse-
quently admitted five Republican contest
ants from Baruwell County. On the SOth
the United States troops were withdrawn
from the State-house, Gen. Ruger stating
that the barring OF the doors
against persons claiming TO ne
entitled 20 seats was done under
misapprehension q orders, which only
authorized him TO preserve the peace. The
two rival Houses thereupon assembled, and
with separate organizations kept up con-
tinuous session until the 4th. Protests
against the use Of United States troops TO
control the organization Of the Legislature
were sent to President Grant, signed by
Wade Hampton, Senator Gordon, aud 9TH
ers.
The Democratic members Of the House
vacated the State house on the 4th, Speaker
Wallace having been informed that large
force OF State uenstables, supported by
Federal soldiers, would be called upon to
eject the disputed Democratic members at
noon. Fearing a scene Of disorder, and
perhaps bloodshed, it was decided 10 quiet
ly withdraw to Carolina Hall, where the
Democrats went into secret session. The
Senate met and adjourned without counting
the vote for Governor, although the time
had been set for p. m. on that day.

CURRENT TOPICS.

THERE was a long session of the Cab
met, on the LIST, st which it is said the
subject Of Federal Intervention in South
Carolina was fully discussed. Secreta-
~ Fish, it is reported, took very de-
cided stand against the policy pursued
by the Administration in that State,
but the Associated Press reporter,
while giving currency to the ru-
NOR, says it can not be authenti-
cated. A letter from General Kruger
TO General Sherman was read, in which
the writer says he acted under a misap-
prehension in stationing soldiers at the
door Of the House to prevent the in
gress Of persons claiming TO be MEM
bers, but who were refused admittance
by the Doorkeeper. As soon as he was
fully informed Of all the facts in the
case, he adds, he ordered the troop:
Withdrawn, and determined to confinC
bis action solely to the preservation of
the peace.

A YOUNG gentleman went to a voting
place in Cincinnati to cast his ballot. In
terrogations led to the information that
he had not lived in the precinct long
enough to vote legally if he was a sin
gle man, but that if he was married his
vote would be legal. The modern Alex
ander could not think of losing his
suffrage, and he accordingly repaired
to the house of a gentleman in Coving-
ton, where his sweetheart was stopping,
and succeeded in inducing her to con-
sent TO a speedy marriage. The papers
were obtained, the proper officer visited
in Cincinnati, and the two were made
one. The young man voted, and his
wife retained to her friends home in
COvington.
