WHAT FORNEIS SAYS.

Governor Tilden's friends have furnish.
ed an explanation of the contradictory
afidavits respecting his income in the
year 1862, but their answer does not
cover the whole ground. 1t IS true yhat
an explanation of the law issued by tie
Commissioner of Internal Revenue &C
quires physicians and lawyers to furnish
an account only of sums received or ear
ned during that year. If the twenty
thousand dollars in question were earned
in previous years, Tilden had a right to
omit that sum from his return.-fHiia-

tics than old issues and greed Of the
loaves and fishes. If do not mistake,
the country is gasping for brighter fu-
ture, and for letting alone the record of
the past. To me personally it is of COM
paratively small consequence, as have
pretty nearly reached the end, but for
those who come after me the result still
interests me, l regard this election as
the turning point. The names of the
parties signify nothing-the action of in
divlduals everything. I believe Mr. Til
den to be both capable and honest, as
well as self-reiant, l know nothing Of
Mr.. Hayes beyond his good private char
acteI. His letter did not increase my
confidence in his independence or his
judgment"

WHILE the Leader attempts to slur Mr..
Hatch, chairman of the Democratic Cen
tral Committee, because of his being a
wholesale dealer in liquors it forgets
that Mr.. Amos Townsend, its candidate
for Congress, is in the same line of busi-
ness, and seeks temperance as we'll as
anti-temperante votes.-Plain Dealer.
What Of that? Don't Amos belong to
the "party of great moral ideas," like
Grant, Belknap, BabCock, Morton and
company?

Grants name mentioned "even once. :"
He has not heard civil service reform

bloody shirt and the depravity of Tilden.
Appeals exactly like these failed in

An ARerLc0n Lady In London
E8equeatlas Her Cadaver 10
Ihe Royal College OF Sarge
OnS.
Following the notable example
of Jeremy Bentham, an American
lady resident in London has, it is
announced, by q formally execu-
ted document, bequeathed her
body after her decease to the Roy
alCollege Of Surgeons, to the in
tent that her remains may be dis
sected in the very fullest and
most exhaustive manner of which
anatomical science is capable. The
lady has appointed the President
Of the College for the time being
the executor of her will, and deem
ing q, she does, that it is the du-
ty OF members OF the human fami-
" to devote their bodies after
death to scientific examination,
until the principles of pysiololog-
ical science are thoroughly estab-
lisned, she has decided that sur
gerry may do its utmost with her
corpse, and furthermore directs
call possible facilities shall be Civ
en- for the inspection Of such body
in its various stages Of dissection
by any persons DESTROYS to inspect
1t, and more particularly by per-
aons Of the female SEX" This sim
gular testament goes on to pre-
scribe that; when the lancet, and
scalped have done their utmost,
the disseeted body is to be de-
stroyed in the most economical
and expeditions manner possible,
with the proyiso that some rem
naHt Of the corpse, ''if it can be
preserved In an innoxious state, /"
may be preserved in the Royal
College Of Surgeons as q means
Of fdsitiC ying the benefcent hon
or OF Z certainty very curious leg
Acy. The lady further gives ut
terance to the wish that il any of
her friends ''desire to possess g
remnant of the said body they
shall be at liberty to do So" Such
IL this odd testamentary bequest
legally drawn up and signed and
Witnessed by the clerks of o well
,kn01A London solicitor. The
Royal College of Surgeons have,
it IL understood, accepted the
trust. 1t is impossible to deny
the absence OF prejudice, the sim
erminG edness and the public
spirit which have apparently die
lated the adoption by q lady of
responsibility of so very unusual
Q course but 1t is necessary to
point ont first that such an exam
pie viii not, in all likelihood, find
many limitations, and next, that
the hospital schools of London
can already procure a sufficiency
OF dead bodies to demonstrate
With thorougDess the principles
OF physiological science. Were
this benevolent lady q dwarf or a
giantess, or endowed with two
heads, physiology might benefit
by the bequest of her body. As it
is, there Hlh be ct, We hope, . far
distant period only one corpse the
more on the disecting room table.
Touching the remnant" question,
that must he held q matter of
taste. We all remember the gen.
tleman in the Tattler, who disin-
herited his SON for having spoken
unexpectedly Of his sister, whom
he, the testator, had long preserv-
cd in spirits. There are people
who are fond of the remnant"
OF their. departed friends, and
other who entertain a profound
dislike to keeping such mementoes
near them.

Is worth saving. Now IL time isn't money,
what is it, In saving time you save money
in saving distance you also save money. For
instance, you wish to go to Fort Scott Kan

ley; by taking the NJ, X. q T. route, through
tie city Of Sedalia, No., you actually save be-
tween the Mississippi river and Fort Scott,
Kansas eighty -four miles of travel. That is
to say, the Missouri, Kansas Texas railway
from either Quincy. Hannibal, or st Louis,

ninety miles shorter than any other railway

ness and singing quality Of tone, ease and elias
ticity Of touch, effectiveness of action, solidity
and originality Of construction and excellence
Of Workmanship. The Knabe award is not

The Philadelphia Cremation Expert.
ment a Success.

PITTsBuRG, Pa. December 6.-The
process of cremating the body of the
late Baron De Palm at DR. lie Moyne's
Crematory, was successfully accom-.
plished this morning.
The body arrived at the Crematory
yesterday, and was placed on the cata-
falque in the reception room of the
Crematory. The body was taken from
the coffin and wrapped in white cloth
1t weighed ninety-two pounds, and was
of a chocolate color, and perfectly
odorless. The viscera had been re-
moved, the cavaties being filed with a
mixture of crystalized carbolic acid and
potters' clay.
At SGT this morning DR.. lie Moyne,
DR.. Aside, of Pittsburg, Fl. j. Newton
and Colonel Olcott (the two latter the
Baron's executors) carried the body to
the mouth of the retort Colonel o.
colt put on the body myrrh, cessna,
franklncense and cinnamon, and the
winding-sheet was saturated with an
alum solution. Rash, evergreen sprays
and immortelles were strewn upon the
body, and all was ready.
The body was on wire cradle,
whlcn, when in the retort, raised ii
about two inches from the bottom of
the retort. The door was opened, and
as the body slid in a fume of smoke
from the burning evergreens rose from
the body. A fainter odor, of burning
flesh pervaded the building, but no
unpleasant feature appeared, and the
process was pronounced a success in
every particular.
Observations every ten minutes dis
closed the fact that the remains rapidly
shrunk in size and passed away in
vapor and gases.
At the end of the first hour the bones
crumbled and the outline Of the form
was lost.
At the end of the I'd hour, the body
was greatly reduced in size, the larger
bones and ribs only being visible, and
they would apparently crumble at the
slighte touch.
At ln:45 the crib was moved back in
the r. IT two inches, and the whole
mass ernnbled. Colonel Olcott then
pronounced the incineration ended and
complete, In two hours aud twenty
minutes.
Atl>1 the retort has cooled, the
ashes will be collected and placed in an
urn provided for that purpose
But little local interest was mani
tested, but the press was largely repre-
sented, New York, Philadelphia, Gin
cinnati and Chicago papers being rep
resented.
A meeting will be held in the town
this afternoon, from 2 o'clock till 5,
for the discussion Of cremation and in
humation, in which Colonel Olcott,
DR.. LIE Moyne and others will take part.
