Morris Marks, who was appointed
Collector of Internal Revenue at New
Orleans some time ago, is in trouble.
Marks chief, and doubtless only quail
ification Tor the position rested on the
fact that he had done something, in an
humble way, to ohelp steal the electoral
vote of Louisiana for Hayes, and being
we'll posted about the rascalities of pol
itics in that State, he was around
Washington a great deal; threatening
to make it hot for somebody unless he
was fixed. He was fixed in Secretary
Sherman's department., where 80 many
of his kind have been taken care of.
It will hardly be surprising to learn
that he has been conducting his office
in way that is not considered upright
and it is stated that the removal of
Marks has been determi ned upon. At
this crisis he again threatens some ex-
posures. PHoNO..

mother Cremation at washington, Pa.

The body recently cremated in the crera-
tory erected by the late DIR. LIE Moyne in
Washington, Pa, was that OF Charles A. Nc
Creepy, son OF James McCreery, the head Of
James McCreery Co., large dry goods deal
ers in New York. Mr.. McCreery was only
twenty-iour years of age but for several years
he had taken an active part in the business OF
the firm OF James McCreery & Co. Two
years ago pulmonary trouble compelled him
to withdraw from active business, and recently
he died from the disease. He strongly
opposed to the ordinary methods OF burial,
aad left written request to his parents that
| his body should be burned The Gre
nation was performed under the direc-
ton OF his brother, j. Crawford Nc
Creepy, and the Rev. George S. Payson,
the pastor OF the young mans family.
The iast-named gentleman gave the following
| account of the cremation: We drove at once
to the crematory, about mile and halt from
The station. There we were met by two OF
| The trustees of the crematory, Mr.. Julius lie
Moyne, son OF DR.. LIE Moyne, and Mr..
Harding. They asked us for the name of the
deceased and the circumstances OF his death,
and we answered that we were very DESTROYS
II keeping the matter strictly private. But
they insisted that the inciueration could not
lake place unless these facts were given them,
and, under their pledge that they would not
reveal them, we gave them all the facts.
Then the coffin was taken into the reception
room of the crematory. 1t is a FIRE proof brick
Oultu1ng, ABOUT Lhlrly feet ny nfteen, divided
INTO two apartments, the reception room and
the retort. The latter is OF fIe-proof brick,
and the fires under it. When the
doors were opened, and [ looked in, all my
opposition to cremation disappeared, TOR then
came from the retort lovely, rosy light,
which | could compare to nothing bnl the rosy
morning light on the snow peaks OF the Alps,
/ have seen it in Switzerland. The body
was prepared by being taken Fl ON the cof1ln,
placed in a CRIB, and covered with sheet,
sa urated with solution of alum. The CRIB
is shaped like an ordinary crib but is made OF
rods of iron, just close enough to hold the
body. The alum cloth was to prevent any
smoke Or unpleasant odor. The body was
not decomposed. Being placed in the crib, ii
was wheeled into the retort, and there rested
in the rosy light There was absolutely moth
ing whatever repugnant to the senses-no
flame, no smoke, no odor OF any kind. The
alum cloth remained for some time appar-
emily intact. Then, little by little, it dislp-
peared, as did the body, tie pure ashes fall
ing to the bottom of the retort. 1t was abou,
hali-past one in the afternoon when We
placed the body in the retort, and in les
than three hours it was reduced to ashes

A Louisiana Lady's Orange Orchard.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, writing from Port Eads. La,
says: Daylight found us but twenty
five miles below New Orleans, and, to
my great delight, we entered the region
of sugar cane and orange groves just as
the rising sun scattered the river fog
ard brought day of soft beauty like a
May Sabbath at the North. The air
was balmy but stimulating, and the
scene beautiful beyond description.
North of the river the cane fields
lake, while on the south side dark
forest, open field and orange grove alter
mated. The dark green trees of the
orchards, set much thicker than apple
trees, hung full of the rich green and
yellow fruit; and as the boat landed
every mile or two we had abundant
time to enjoy the scene. at length we
reached the Big Orchard, where the
boat lay an hour, and / FASTENED on
shore to secure few specimens. Far
back, almost hidden by the trees, stood
the low, broad cottage. entirely sur
rounded by porch, which is the stand
ard dwelling here, and when / made
offer to purchase from a muiatto, the
only person in sight, was confronted
by stately Dame, who rose from the
porch, looking az if she might have
stepped right out of the age of Louis
XIV. Her black dress, her snowy hair,
her strangely fair complexion. set off by
white shawl, added to the lofty dignity
with which she said:
"Sir-r-r. We do not retail re oronjiz."

Disappearances Of sea fish from their
longtime homes occur frequently, and
reasons unknown to man. The her
ring have left the coast of Sweden,
where once they were numerous, and
the big-eyed or club mackerel, which
thirty years ago was common on our
coasts, is now so rare that Professor
Baird has been unable to obtain it for
his collection, although he has offered
S25 for single specimen. Whether the
merits of this fish have suddenly be-
come known to marine epicures. or
whether the club mackerel has found a
deep-sea lardpr which is better stored
than the old one was, must tor the pres
ent be Matter for conjecture. P4rhaps
tuunydsh sharks. porpoises, dogfish, end
other lOrdly fellows with discriminating
appetitcs, might throw some light upon
the subject if they could be interviewed.
At one time the funny had driven the
cod entirely away from the vicinity Of
Block island, but the funny himself
having become attractive to oil men and
purveyors to manufacturers OF fish
guaao, the cod hurried back 10 the
family homestead. Professor Baird be-
lirves that the demand for tunpies, dog
fish, sharks, etc, by the factories which
will turn them into oils and manures,
win have the effect of increasing the
number Of food fishes by lessening that
of their enemies. Grand, gloomy and
peculiar" like other great slaughterers,
these predaccous fish also resemble their
human prototypes in being compare
lively few in number, and in keeping
themselves prominently before the eyes
of those who are eager to destroy them.
