DR.. Lc MUyne, at Washington, Penn, is % rekin-
die the funeral fires of his patent incnerator extn
euished since NJ. lc Baron de Palm Was cassically
calcincd and brought to New-York i'll n vase. The
mortal frame of Mrs. Jane Ptman is to be subjected
TO purgaton and transported all the way from Gin
cnnat for the pious purpose She the wife of Mr.
Benn Pitman well known as a photographer, and
the Cincinnati newspapers speak Of her kindly as
"abright, active, cheerful and sympathetic woman,"
who left none to regret her existence, but all to
mourn her departure" 1t is to be noted that she
was of particularly practical turn OF mind and
when the Liberal Convention was held in Clncn-
natl IN 1872, she made herself useful in arranging
and methodzing the proceedings for the reporters.
She is TO be burned at her own request. and says
in her will that she has long conceived Gre
nation to be the most sensible mode of
disposing of the human body" She had
an adherence of what she regarded as the hypoc-
rIsy and expense of the modern style of burial"
She had an equal dislike of everything dismal and
morbid :" aud accordingly, after her death, MIR.
Pitman arranged " IA catafalque trimmed with light
blue silk and the American hag for the temporary
repose of the body. Mrs. Ptman had once held, but
had renounced the faith of the Church of the New
Jcrusalem This is perhaps the first woman III this
country to set an example of whatever moral hero
ism such disregard of ancient cOnyentionaties may
demand But it is to be doubted whether many
diving women. or men either will ask to be done
with likewise. Sepulture, at present, has the best
of 1t.

Senator Jones made the best speech yester-
day that could be made for the Bland bill,
which is, indeed saying little for it; the
ability he displayed was worthy of better
cause. He has the advantage of having stud
led the subject for several years, while the
average silver advocate cannot swear to SIN
gle fOrtnight's reading. His familiarity with
the statistics of the question enabled him, as
our Washington dispatches show, to tanGle
up some of the Intelects of the Senate
in maze of quotations. and even to dazzle
some members who are counted rs against sill
yer. But while the speech may delight his
supporters, 1t comes too late to make converts
Senator Jones may have deceived himself, and
may believe in some of his own arguments, but
the people have been educated too far by this
controversy not to know that under all his
statistics and sophistry lies the naked PROPOSE
ton to utter debased coin. They will see
this the sooner when they perceive that, with
all his knowledge of the subject, lie drops in
evitabIy into demagOgue strain almost as
low as that of Voorhees, himself. Senator Jones
is a man of too much intelligence not to know
that, when he thanks "God and the Declara-
" ton of Independence that this is popular
government, he is talking buncombe /; and not
to know, also, that in what he said of The
TRIBUNE, he WIS grossly misrepresenting the
whole spirit and purpose of its utterances.

Our London letter makes a striking compar-
ison between the respectable prO-Turk mobs
in London and the respectable DrO-slavery
mobs which once distinguished the City OF
Boston. The London rioters do not seem to
have been so rough in their manners as their
prototypes of Boston, but some of their de-
vices were so contemplate that downright
violence might have seemed more manly ana
more in accordance with the British notion OF
fair-play. Mr.. Trevelyan seems to have char
acterized these disturbances, in the House OF
Commons, in the night words.
New-York tribune., 1878-02-15

Those great Democratic statesmen, Mr.. Har-
rson, of Illinois, and Mr. Whitthorne, OF len
nessee, were greatly scandalized yesterday
because the Secretary of the Treasury ad-
dressed a communication directly to the House,
as that officer has been in the habit of doing
from time immemoral. Mr. WhitthOrne trem-
bled at the thought Of receiving an election
"eering document at the bands OF the
Secretary. When General Garfield reminded
these worthless of the right of petition, which
gives any citizen the right to present ian
"electioneering document" they seemed In
clned to change the subject.
1t has long been current belief in insurance
circles that the homeopathic doctors would
come to the rescue, if the life insurance COM
pany that bears the title of their profession
should fall into trouble. Nevertheless, exaIni-
nation by the State Superintendent shows that
the capital of the Homeopathic Life has SUI
fered loss of nearly $150,O00, though there
Is still a surplus of assets to protect rolcy-hold-
ers The concern has lost money by bad
investments of its funds, and the question
whether the users of homeopathic medicines
are longer-lived than other people, re-
mains unsolved. A day or two ago
our law reports contained decision by
which life insurance company loses $780,
600, because loan, secured by real
estate, was tainted with usury. The trying
times are not yet over for these concerns, but
it is worth noting that the best of them in
this State pass their examinations with flying
colors, and the weaker companies. even while
showing losses, present no new instances of
fraud or insolvency.

The Legislature of 1878 shows itself capable
of a swift dispatch of business, when business
is in hand. The Appropriation bill has now
passed through both houses within three days,
n day only being occupied in each house.
There is no reason why this good precedent
should not be followed in other matters. The
pressure of important legislation is very light
this year, and the Legislature might improve
on its predecessors by dissolyins at an carly
day.
Captain Ankers, from his sickbed, wholly
denies under oath the statements OF four
members of his crew that he had boasted OF
making ga good wreck" of the ship. and
expresses his regret that he cannot repeat the
denial in person at the investigation in
Philadelphia. 1t is possible, as we suggested
Yesterday, that this accusation is the result OF
a conspiracy. and Captain Ankers throws out
that idea. 1t would be more comfortable TO
believe that four of his subordinates had COM
bined against him than that he had been
capable of such o devilish deed as they
sharge. But they are four men against one,

was called. sixteen answered to their names:
but before they organized five more-Mitch
and Pete Lucia. George Pelton and George
Pelton. Jr.. and 10. Woodbury-were gath
cred in from about the hotel. John W.
Brown was elected president; A. B. Ash
ley, ce-president and John E. Wheelock,
secretary. WheelOck led off with speech
full of bitterness, and gave his reasons for
leaving the Republican party. They were
substantially the same given by him for
leaving it six years ago, when he join
ed the Greeleyites. He told the little
band that though few in numbers now,
by the 3rd OF September, they would
=" make it hot for every candidate for
Town, County and State Office. Some one
in the back part of the hall laughed at
this threat. when Mr.. Wheelock did
not wait till the third of September, but
then and there made it hot for all in that
part of the house. An executive committee
was appointed, which called out q speech
from one OF them, who said he had voted
and worked with the Republican party
from 1855 down to the passage OF the dog
license law. He said he could have stood
the license, but when the law compelled
him to put a collar on his dog, and get it
marked, that was too much. and he bolted
and he Was now il favor Of greenbacks and
reform. After words OF encouragement
from the different officers, and assurance
that seventy-fve or one hundred would be

sounded, but the hydrants were so far away

The slories Of our birth and state
Are shadows, not substantial things
There IS no armOr against fate
Death lays his icy hands on Kings;
Sceptre and crown
Must tumble down
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade
Some men with swords may reap the field,
And plant fresh laurels where they kill
But their strong nerves ut last must yield
They tame but one another still.
Early or late
They stOop TO fate,
And must give up their murmuring breath,
When they, pale clptives, creep to death.
The garlands withcr on your brow
Then boast no more your mi hty deeds;
Upon deaths purple altar now,
See where the victim victor bleeds
All hands must come
To the cold tomb
Only the actions Of the Just
Smell sweet and blossom in the dust.
