The possibility of the election for Presi-

Our Cemeteries.

, The subject Of the burial and the proper ,dispo.
sition OF the bodies OF the loved ones. IS one that
has, OF late years, engroSSe1 the minds OF the
thinking men and women OF this enlightened age.
Years ago the cemeteries received attention. and
the beautfaf resting places Of the dead ntly rep
resented by Greenwood, Cypress Hill. WoodiaWn,
and other spots equally beautiful by heritage,
flowers, walks, handsome plots, mOnuments foun-
tains. lakes and streams. in fact all that art and
science can devise or erect have been used to
9oom and death and always So q shudderingly re-
pulsive to all sensitive natures-a graveyard
Comparison between the tomb Of to-day and the
grove of a hundred years ago will attest the pro-
gress made in this direction 4 sir Las gls,,as
1t seems exceedingly fitting that the advance
ment made in this particular for our dead should
be duplicated in the receptacles prepared for the
admission OF their bodies Why deposit the bod
les OF our nearest and dearest in wooden boxes,
when decay makes such sad inroads so soon after
interment? Witness the repulsiye appearances
OF vaults when opened, and how the sights con-
sequent thereto must impress themselves ON our
minds when we consider that what is before us
in such terrible forms, is all that is left OF rea
tives or associates who were once the object OF
not iron be substituted? Metallic burial cases,
it is true, are now and have been used for some
extent probably only one metallic case is called
for where ten or even twenty wooden ones are
utilized. Where does the fault lie? It cannot be
with the families, who surely must desire to pre-
serve for a time the features identity and form
OF their dead ones especially when facts are con.
BtanLiy DeiOre us atteSCine Une preSefvatlou OF
bodies, without blemish, for a quarter OF a CEN
tury. by the use OF the metallic burial caskets.-
In the face OF these facts, why others used is
a question it puzzles us to answer Perhaps the
public mind has not been educated to this condi
ton OF things. thought seems to us to be high
time these facts were patent to every family in
the land. In addition to the preservation OF bod
les from decay, they are also safe from the mid
night prowler, who plies his vocation to supply
the table OF the dissecter with subjects for his
knife go
1t is gratifying thought that a metallic case
has secured for us step in the right direction
able. Through its agency death and the grave
yard are robbed of their gloom, and nothing bu
the most pleasant recollections can now impres.
the mind when taking leave OF the deceased
members OF our own families, those OF oul

From the Burlington uowa) Hawk Eye.
Tilden's JiggQQ. -I---l- y

Gov. Tilden's explanation ofhis tax crook
edness doesn't mend matters much. 1t re-
minds one of the man who set up a black
smith shop and waited for customers.
Presently there came Granger to have his
horse shod, and the self taught blacksmith
took out bar OF iron and began to pound
out horse shoe. He worked until his Gus
TONER'S patience and his own coke were
alike exhausted, and failed to produce any
thing remotely resembling a horseshoe.
"Hold on, here, " he cried to the disgussed
customer, 'slet me make you q nice hegde-
hook,' and he poundedaway until he all but
flattened out the anvel, and made nothing
that rcsembled a hed2e-hook any more than
the first attempt looked like horse shoe.
Snow, don't 60 off mad, = the spersevering
mechanic called to his weary patron, s'just
hold your horses q minute; I've got just
enough iron left to make a jiggOo.o He
heated the iron, pounded a little on this side
and that, turned it one way and bent it the
other, and handed it to the wondering farmer
with triumphant ''Ihere - eWell,"
asked the patron, 'swhat's this p. '1t's a
jiggoo.'' .'And what in the thunder is a
jiggoo. and what is it for ppm blowed it
I know, . said the smith, shut that's the
prettiest one You ever saw beat out on an
anvil, and know it. Take italong. We
don't know what Uncle Sammy started out
to make with this explanation Of his, but It
has developed into the most perfect jiggco oil
the Centennial year.

Old Sows for Breeders.

Experienced growers of swine have DEM
onstrated by careful trial and years Of obser-
walton that breeding by young sows-that is
those not yet matured in their own growth
should be utterly discouraged. No sow
should be permitted to have the care of little
pigs until her own body has attained
It's full proportions. Nature is the same
in its economy, whether manifested towards
the animate or,inanimate. The tree or vine
should not be permitted to bear much, if any,
fruit until it has reached & condition that all
its energies are not required to grow branch-
es and top. A young mother, if still under
her natural development, will withhold from
her litter much that she might do for them
did she not co nsume by her own needs and
physical demands a percentage that should
60 to them. The tendency and result of per-
hitting this is a dWarfing Of the breed. If
confined in the same manner for . few gem
erations, they will fall off from fifty to one
hundred pounds per head. An increased age
OF a sow is no objection. Better keep her
until she is even three OR four years old be-
fore breeding be permitted and having first
secured the stock or kind you desire to grow,
keep her as a breeder until she is q dozen or
even fifteen years old, as pigs from old sows
will average much heavier than those from
Young ones.-Factory and Farm. s

From the Christian Advocate.
HAYES and Tilden. o.

One candidate has given full and satisfac-
tory explanation OF everything whispered
about him. 1t may not partake of the char
acter of great politician to pay attention to
such matters, but it meets q demand in the
public mind. 1t reminds us of the straight
forward letters written by Mr.. Lincoln in
the dark days, for which some criticized him
for descending to the papers to defend his
administration. But the common people
said. 'sThat is what we want to hear; Old
Abe is honest.'' So it strikes the popular
heart to-day.
Every good man desires to see like full
explanation from the other candidate. Ii
any one entertains any::doubt of his ability to
SO explain, that doubt is born either Of party
prejudice or OF the long delay OF the expla-
nation. We most sincerely desire to see
such u vindication of a great public leader
We cannot bring our minds to contemplate
a great party supportinga man for the high
est position on earth, who rests under the
shadow Of stealing and perjury. The party
is too honest in great, honest, honorable men
to allow that. 1t does not need to so de-
bauch the public conscience, or so impcril its
own interests.
We want him to vindicate himself for the
sake OF the goodly number OF Methodists, in
all sections of the country, wno believe in
eAo pAAuS'PACo VI tlste patty otAu VIII uluot
have an opportunity to vote without compro.
missing their integrity. We want him to vim
dictate himself because we do not wish our
Church driven into any party en- masse !;
Rome may vote as q unit, and where it pays
best, but Methodism must never be brought
to such a strait. We want him to vindicate
himself because we want each party morally
| fit to claim the vote Of any Christian man.
We have patiently waited for the needed ex-
| plantations. We must not be asked to wait
too long. The public morals cannot bear
continued silence. Christian men must not
be asked to vote against conscience or against
the party Of their choice. The permanent
good Of both parties must not be imperillel
by such an exhibition. The interest of eve
ry citizen is involved in this explanation
It must be speedy and satisfactory. The
man and the politician unite in the citizen
and must be brought to the same standard o.
morals.
