THE ABSURDITY OF CREMA.
TION

The public is occasionally more
amused than edited, and more dis
gusted than either, by reports ofcases
of cremation. 1t seems to have be-
came settled practice in some circles,
and in proportion as it is generally
adopted, the interest Of the communi-
ty will decline in both the rite and its
adherents. A Mr.. Pitman, whose
wife was recently cremated, delivered
lecture on the subject few even
ings ago at Cincinnati. In the course
Of this he said that he would have to
use words that might not sound senti-
mental, but as to the actual process
of cremation, there was nothing that
could shock the most sensitive soul.
Exercise your imagination" he said,
mot on the roasting of joint of meat
before the fire, but on the sun-like
glow of a retort heated to two thous-
and degrees He congratulated him
self on the fact that the,ceremony was
not "vulgarized' by the presence of the
reporters. e"Some thirty of them were
on hand" he said, land they smoked,
and joked, and loafed as reporters are
wont to do when they are not busily
occupied with the more exacting
duties of their profession. / was quite
willing that publicity should be given
to every detail of this experiment, and
pleaded for the admission of the re
porters. The old and sensible doctor
knew better-a thousand thanks to
him now. When saw her sweet face,
with eyes closed in dreamy contempla-
ton, l felt EXTREMITY grateful that the
sight and scene were not yulgarized by
being made a public spectacle" The
lecturer was quite right. Now that
several bodies have been in DR.. Lee
Moyne's furnace, the novelty of the
thing has worn off, and the morbid
tastes of the public ought not to be
gratified by sensational accounts in
the newspapers. Further, it will be
unnecessary for the next man whose
wife's body goes into the retort to de
liver a public lecture on the process.
and ''vulgarize" the ceremony by talk
ing about joints of meat.

PEACE IN THE EAST.

Peace negotiations have been con
cluded in the East. A dispatch dat
ed March Sd, from Constantinople,
says: "The treaty of peace has been
signed. Grand Duke Nicholas an
nounced the fact to the soldiers to-
day. Russia has abandoned her
claim on the Egyptian and Bulgari-
an tributes" At st. Petersburg the
enthusiasm over the news was almost
unprecedented. A correspondent at
st. Stefans states that neither the
surrender ola portion of the Turkish
feet nor a claim ON the Egyptian
tribute were included in the condi-
stians of peace, and there is no inter
.ferance with the portion of the Turk
ash revenue which is hypothecated to
foreign creditors. There is nothing
definitely settled in regard to indem-
nifty, but it will principally be in the
form of territory in Asia, including
Kars and Batoun. So the war cloud
has blown away, Notwithstanding the
predictions of many concerning a
general European war.

Preparations for the Coinage of
Silver Dollars.

Acting under the instructions of the
Secretary of the Treasury, and in an
ticipation of the silver bill becoming
law, the director of the minis has
been engaged for several days making
the necessary arrangements for the
running of the mints to their full cap
,acity on the new silver dollar, in con
lnection with which gold only will for
some time be coined. 1t is probable
THAT a supply of working dies will be
ready in about ten days, and in the
meantime the silver bullion will pass
,1hGagsh all the processes of putting it
in shape for coming into dollars, ex-
,.cept that of stamping, and for which
particular operation the capacity of
rthe mint is " excess of other opera
fti0ns, SO that in reality but little de-
lay in coinage would be occasioned
by the dies not being now ready. 1t
is thought that by the middle Of April,
the coinage of the silver dollar will be
at the rate of 100000 per month.
The supply offractional silver coins at
the mint and different treasury offices
is sufficient to meet any demand
likely to arise for several months to
come. The mints are all in excellent
condition. with skilled force of work
Men, and everything in shape to meet
the large amount Of coinage devolyed
on them by the new law.
