CEMETERY DISSERTATIONS The des.

CEMETERY DISSERTATION. The des.
ecration Of cemeteries, to those having
friends rcposing therein, is grave OF
Tense. 1t is very common. however.
and in tho neighborhood OF Seattle. We
are sorry to say, as common Is else
where. The fences of such places are
usually out Of order. and not uufre-
quently visitors are shocked 10 find the
resting places Of their loved ones
browsed over. trampled or lain upon
by cows. But this is not the worst fea-
ture Of which we have TO complain
We regard the cemetery performances
of the Chinese more Objectionable than
oil else. If they want ground for their
dead, let them have it in quarter by
themselves. Their use Of it is only
temporary, as far as any particular body
is concerned; they are continually work
ing it over and planting i, anew; send
lag the old bones TO China and leaving
only rottenness and poison behind.
Their exercises are heathenish in the
extreme, and TO some, who have right
to be considered, very disagreeable on
this score. The leaving Of gin bottles
In the cem etery on the occasion of every
funeral service is one Of the suggestively
disagreesble acts Of these disagreeable
people. BY all means let the Chinese
have room for their burials, but don {
allow that room to encroach upon the
room set apart for others. There is no
need or good in such mixing in the GEN.
eteries.
