CREMATING GARBAGE.

THE SYSTEM IN OPERATION IN SEVERAL BROOK

BRooKLYS, March 10, 1877.
To THE EDITOR THE HERALD
have noticed recently several articles In your paper
relative to the practcabty OF crematng the garbage.
would like to say few words to my own expc-
rencc regard to | think II not only practicable
but very easily accomplished by individual effort |
have made practice tor years to burn all the refuse
matter Of tho house, and havo suffered incon-
from H. On tho contrary has been benefit,
and know many others who do tho same 1t is not n
new idea by any means, and can safely say that if
housckecpers generally would adopt this method lhcy
would find II a very easy matter and would be re-
wardcd by getting rid Of bad odors IN and around the
house.
My plan Is TO have each DAYS account mulaton placed
In some receptacle convenient TO the Kitchen ana alter
the cooking done Tor the day open all tho draughts
Of the stove or range and put tho refuse matter H. II
there Is largo quantity Keep ning up The range,
until all Is consumed. Even though tho fire Is low II
will be found quite Sufficient, as the portion next the
fire ircs rapidly and In this way enough fuel Is made
10 burn any quantity. AZ the same time the kitchen
Is Kept warm through the evening without any addi-
tiOnaI cOu and the water IN tho boiler heated so
that IL Is ready for use In the morning 40 reuly
hope that all who road thsricb or poorwill try this
experiment ior and satisfy themselves us to
plan to the one heretofore adopted, OF keeping the
garbage around the house Tor whole week or until
such time the rocking barrels are removed. No
sensible person far TO SEQ the benefits arising from
the daily cremation oil garbage. How mucn healthier
tho atmosphere OF our houses would DO and such

The Presidents Policy

A Washington special says: Evidences are
accommodating demonstrating rapidly i'm
proving feeling ame1g the better class of
Southern Republicans with reference to the
new policy. This, of course, does not refer
to the extreme element of the disreputable
sort who have brought discredit upon the Re
publican party and induced the evils of the
old regime. The men in the South who gave
all the respectability to the Republican party
in that section that it ever had are gradually
becoming convinced that the new policy is
wise and patriotic and viii do good to the
whole country. By letter as well as by per
sonai assurance, the President is receiving en-
couragemeut daily almost from this class,
which, while it is tardy, must nevertheless be
very gratifying to him. The beginning Of the
| end of the bad feelings and bitterness of the
Southern Republicans with the new policy is
clearly apparent They see that through il
they have been already treated with federation
such as they never before enjoyed, and that
through the practical effect of the new policy
they will be accorded more freedom in teach
ing and maintaining their party doctrine than
heretofore. They feared that the opposite eff.
feet would result Prom the North the as
surances are no less pleasant, and go to show
that while the opposition has dwindled down
until it comprises only the extreme men, bus
iness has greatly improved. There is q
healthier tone growing out of the feeling that,
as the Southern question is out of the way,
the people of the South will now turn to in
dustrial pursuits, and look after the advance
ment of their material interests, which will, Of
course, inure to the benefit of the whole
country. ttii--- Er- ...l
