Ties in Europe, inviting them TO send dele
gates to a congress which will be held a!
Dresden on the 9th and 7th of June. There
Will be one public meeting, succeeded by
Que held with closed doors, at the latter of
Which Experiments will be made" It
seems that the process Of cremation hat
more partisans in Holland than in any other
country, and Dutch society, the head
quarters Of which are at the Hague, counts
| 10 lever than / 800 members. Similar
oclelles have been founded in Germany, at
Berlin, Dresden, Hamburg, Bremen, Bras-
au' Lelpsic and Gotha, and the German
.ulerent OF cremation now publish three
journals to advocate their views; the
Ss"'Fas' edited at Leipsic by Professor Re-

U 1on now practised; the Medical Family

Political POrrldge.

Gen. N. P. Banks has signified his inten-
tion of remaining Democrat.
According to the World, tho Republican
contest is between Conkling and the Great
Unknown. Blaine, the writer thinks, is
losing ground, and Bristow is out OF the
question.
A Herald correspondent has had a very
interesting interview with Charles Francis
Adams. He is not anxious for the Presi-
dency himself, and does not think it at all
likely that he will ever be asked. He thinks
well of Tildeu, and of Blaine, who is ''strone
and has head of his own" Conkling has
TOO much to do with rings. Washburne,
though he did make Grant, is different
kind of = man, y man with head on HE
shoulders. Hendricks or Seymour won't
do. But it is all mixed up. for Grant has
disintegrated everything, and If we can
only get an independent man with head
of his own, it doesn't matter what he's
called.

Humbug Duly 1ebukod.
From the World

First came Attorney General Pierrepont,
speaking as the apOlogist of Mr.. Grant, and
detailing with touching eloquence the hard
ships of bis chief. He called uTon us to
sympathize in the poverty Of man who is
getting $50, 900 year, with all his house
hold expenses paid; and yet,when President
Grant was not In the service of his migrate
full country, he was forced to live for twelve
months on less than what is now the in
come of week. We were asked to mourn
over his excessive labOrs; and yet, when he
was not In the service of that penurious
task maker, the American people, he had
no cottage at Long Branch, no winter sea-
son Of social amusements, no summer plea
sure trips and no leisure to enjoy such
things. We were told to bewail the sacri-
fees which an exacting country had com
PEELED him to make; and yet, when not in
the service of the country, he did not WELD
the power of king, commanded an army
and navy and control civil service larger
than both combined, but was dependent
upon his relatives instead of enjoying the
satisfaction of endowing them with honors
and emOluments. We were reminded in
solemn tones of the ISLANDERS which he had
endured and the obloquy which had been
heaped upon his name; and yet in private
life his reputation was in no respect pre-
eminent, and it was in the public service
that his fame was won and lavish praise
poured out upon him. In a word, Presi-
dent Grant is standing monument Of the
nobility of'the public service. 1t has trans
formed him from an obscure and discour-
agod man into a great soldier and the chief
magistrate of great people. The years OF
middle age, when he was not in the service
of his country, were years of torpor. His
youth and advanced manhood when he was
the creature of the State, were eras of ac-
| tivity and glory.
Cautiously enough the second jeremiad
over the evils of the chief magistracy and
degeneracy of politics is sung by Charles
Francis Adams. He, too, looks upon the
Presidency as thankless office, and in
forms the people, in the course Of recen'
interview, that the most miserable years OF
his fathers and grandfather's existence
were those when the nation had honored
them with the guidance of its affairs. The
glory of his name is due to their public ser
vices and to his own official record, and yet
he quietly assumes that the nation has been
| rather ungrateful to the Adamses and pro-
nounces the cares Of government bore.
| He affects to Iespise parties and public life:
ard yet without the opportunities OF public
life even Sam Bowles would never have
heard of an Adams. He has no sympathy
for Grants tribulations, but the sorrows OF
his own relatives touch him to the quick.
