CREMATION IN SIAM.

The Princess Suntariat, one of the fav-
orites of the king of Siam and her infant
daughter were drowned last year about
forty miles from Bangkok by the upset
ting of barge. The remains were en-
balmed and kept about nine months,
when they were cremated with imposing
ceremonies at an expense of $500, 900 in
decorations and in the presentation of
gifts. A correspondent of The Louisville
Courier Journal says that the rite took
place in cross shaped building 200 feet
in length, covered within and without by
gilded cloth. All the principal people
and the foreign representatives were pres
ent, and the fine quarters and free res
taurant were provided. The fire was
lighted by the first king, the second king
also being present. After the funeral
pyre had been consumed there were fire.
works and athletic sports for ten success
i've nights. Among other representations
was the lotus dance participated in by
fifty men swinging colored lanterns.
During the entertainments each day
lines, species Of lemon, containing
small silver coins and also tickets to
lottery, were scattered freely among the
spectators. Many beautiful prizes were
drawn bv both natives and foreigners.
The Buddhist priesthood were the prin-
cipal gamers by this cremation. One
hundred thousand dollars were distribute
ed to these gentlemen OF the yellow
cloth. This was done to make merit, !"
with the hope that some might reach the
spirit of the dead Princess Sun-an-ta-riat,
as she wanders through the long travail
of births and deaths that await her before
she can find rest. When the crematory
services were over, the ashes and few
charred bones were tenderly gathered
and placed in golden urn prepared to re-
ceive them. This urn was made almost
entirely of the jewels of the dead Prin-
cess and smaller one received the
remains of the royal babe.

TRUE INwARDNEss -NEw YORK, May
31.-The true inwardness of the Conk-
ling Garfield Robertson fight has at last
been divulged. It appears that it had
been decided by the President to appoint
Mr.. Robertson to some honorable position
in New York State weeks before his NOM
ination was sent to the Senate, and prior
to the sending in Of the first batch OF NOM
ination for that State. At this tlre the
President was informed that Conkling
would insist upon the contro ling Of the
appointments for the Port of New York,
whenever the time for change or new
appointment should arrive. When thus
informed of Conkling's determination or
dictation, the President at once decided
to make an immediate change in the Gus
tom House on the opening of his admins
tration rather than have the fight drag
ged into the middle of his term.

A PAIR OF FooLs.-Even the most
sensible people keep their ears open for
tales of adventure and toolhardiness
which they would never think Of imitat-
ing, and a considerable amount of enthu-
siasm will be aroused by John Troyner,
recently in the government service on
the gunboat Tennessee, and a Swede
named Ivan Olsen, who are preparing for
a voyage from Bath Me-, to Harve,
France, in dory only fourteen feet long
which is now building at Georgetown.
She is to be a common fishing dory of
fourteen feet bottom, five feet wide and
twenty-one inches deep. and is to be
decked over with the exception of a
small place for standing room aft. She
will be sloop-rigged, carry two jibs, a
mainsail and square sail, and will spread
to the wind sixty yards of canvas, and
will make ten knots an hour. She will
be the smallest boat that ever attempted
anything of the kind, and compares with
the Great Eastern as follows: Great
Eastern, 22,500 tons, $50 feet long, 80
odd feet wide, carries 1000 people; this
craft, IA feet long, carries two men and a
kitten.

CONFEDERATE CoTroN LoAN.--LoN-
DON, MAY Yesterday a meeting was
held of nearly 100 bondholders OF the
Confederate Cotton Loan, amounting to
100000 In the opening address the
chairman stated that the matter would be
presented to the United States Govern
ment upon moral ground. The only hope
was that the government woulI liquldate
the loan upon the principle that it was
family affair. 1t was concluded to con-
solidate the Confederate Dollar Loan,
amounting to, it is supposed, t50,O0O,
900 with the cotton loan, and have them
presented simultaneously, and commit
tee of five was appointed to confer with
continental stock exchanges and complete
arrangements for an assessment OF Is per
G1O0 to defray the expenses of prosecut-
ing the claims. The tone of the meeting
was hopeful, although the Dondholders
believe it is certain they will never receive
compensation. One hundred and thirty
seven thousand pounds of confederate
cotton stock was sold week ago for
$4,000. Some holders of Confederate
bonds are credulous enough to believe the
American Government may be induced to
pay them, but the majority of the hold
ers are operating solely for the purpose
of creating a hope of their payment,
thereby giving them value, when they
will unload.

WHIST AS A SCIENCE.

The great increase of the literature of
whist within the past few years is evi-
dence that it is taking a higher place
among intellectual pastimes than it ever
occupied before. 1t is developing into a
science which, nevertheless, includes a
social clement, by which it is made both
agreeable and instructive. There would
be as much sense in calling a problem of
Euclid immoral as in bringing that charge
against whist. Whist stimulates no un-
worthy ambitions, and brings into action
no qualities of the mind that ought to be
repressed. It presents the conditions of
an intellectual contest; and instead of
its being game of chance, the purpose
Of good players is to fight against chance,
as well as against play. A weak minded
person can never be good whist player,
and five follow the history of the game
and examine the characters and records
of those who have been brilliant players,
we shall almost invariably find that they
have been distinguished in other respects.
A physician of eminence once said that
he could tell the character of person af-
ter seeing him in a game of whist. Per-
maps UuC -ICSG WOulu udVG IauOu Hill
occasionally, b,ff there are many things
that can be pretty accurately inferred by
close observation of persons methods in
the quadrilateral contest Does he de-
eide quickly and accurately, or does he
suffer from over caution? Does he pur-
sue a carefully acquired system under all
circumstances; or, like successful gen
eral, does he measure each new situation
and execute brilliant coupe outside the
regularly prescribed tactics? Is he
philosopher in defeat, and a gentleman
under all circumstances? Are his
thoughts always at his command like
well-drilled soldiers, or do they straggle?
These are number Of points of charac-
ter that can be gauged by an experienced
observer Tie whist player who follows
the game with purpose to master all
intricacies and learn what it has to teach
does not waste his time. He is in good
training school for the development of
mental qualities and the correction of
character. Considerations like these
have given the game of whist marvellous
vitality and universally. 1t occupies o
commanding place among human necessi-
ties 1t is an agent Of national enlighten-
ment and social growth and its beauties
and benefits are being recognized now as
they never were before. To be good
whist player in these days is to possess at
least one leading accomplishment.-Bos-

\ MOTHER SACRIFICES HER L

A MOTHER SACRIFICES HER LIFE
Mrs. Mcfarland, residing on Sussex
avenue, Newark, N. j., and Mrs. Coryell
a neighbor, started for Brooklyn yester-
day morning, to visit Greenwood Gene
terry and plant flowers on Mrs. McFar-
land, sons grave. They were accom-
panied by Mrs. Coryelfs 4-year-old
daughter. When they reached the de-
not Mrs. Mcfarland crossed the track
first and the child attempted to follow
her, when an express train which does
not stop at that station came laundering
along. Mrs Coryell, seeing her child's
imminent peril, gave piercing scream,
and without hesitation jumped on the
track and pushed the child out of danger.
She then lost her presence of mind, and,
becoming paralyzed with fear, was una
BILE to move in either direction. Theaen-
gineer whistled down brakes but before
the, train conld be stopped the locomotive
struck Mrs. Coryell and hurled
her over to the platform. She was still
alive last night, but her injuries are con-
sidered fatal.-NeU York Times 28th uH.

EASTERN SUMNER RESORTS.
sound of the hammer is heard at Long
Branch, and fresh paint is everywhere
present. Building and repairing are us
ually active, in expectation of the best
season ever known. Applications for
rooms at the hotels are numerous, and
there is large demand for cottages.
Many cottages are being built this spring
i'll fashion more elaborate, fantastic and
expensive than ever before. The most
notable of these is Commodore Garrison S
which is to cost $4,000. Ii stands on
Ocean avenue, in front of Tom Murphy S
cottage, and next to the summtr residence
of Moses Taylor, which last costs $50, 900.
Journalist Horace White is also building
a cottage. The first influx OF permanent
visitors is expected this week. Gen.
Grant, With Tom Murphy and family,
and the Sartoris party are expected the
last of the month.
At Saratoga, also, an exceptionally
good season is expected, and in fact the
hotel-keepers predict the best since the
war. The season here opens a month la
ter than at Long Branch, and an lncreas-
ing number of people appear each year
to enjoy the questionable quiet OF June
and several oftne hotels are doing a -four
ing business. The old hostelries have
been put freshly in order, but no new
ones are built, and the Congress Park Ho-
tel remains merely a name. The cottage
business which begun only four or five
years AGO, is increasing, and many Sarato-
go people turn penny by renting their
houses-all houses are Cottages in the
season-for the summer and taking jour
ney the while themselves. The most not
able change in the arrangements OF the
place is the completion OF railroad to
the lake upon which trains will begin
to run about the first of July.
Putnam Spring, formerly called

vived by an enterprising citizen, once

A WAR CLAIM REJECTED.-Rt. Rey.
Joseph Napoleon Perche, the Roman
Catholic Archbishop Of New Orleans,
claimed from the United States Govern
ment the sum of Sd, 1000, with accrued in
terest thereon since 1862, on the ground
that in that year, while yet French
subject residing in New Orleans, Gen. F.
Butler, commanding the United States
forces, destroyed property beloning to
him worth $4,000, and subjected himself
to arrest and Imprisonment. 1t was
claimed on the part of the Government
that DR.. Perche was not entitled to any
damages, as, although he was a French
subject in 1862, he became naturalized
citizen of the United States since 1870,
The French-American Claims Commits
sion, to whom the matter was referred
for decision held to this view, and reject
ed the claim OH the ground that it does
not come within the terms of the treaty,
which only provides tor the claims of
French citizens. The decision covers
many other cases involving large
amount of money.

SIZE OF THE ENG
LISH PEOPLE.

A correspondent of the Man chester
Guardian referring to the statement that
British heads are smaller than they used
| to be, and to the diminution in size is
caused only, or chiefly, by the greater
pressure of our days, says: 81 should like
to point out that there is good reason to
fear that the diminution in the size OF
the skull is but part of decrease in the
size of the whole of the skeleton which
appears to be rapidly taking place in this
country. 1t would be strange if such a
change did not take place. For while
the English climate is very favorable to
to the vigorous growth of these people
who breathe pure air and take a great
deal of exercise on. of doors, it is more
unfavoreble than almost any climate to
the growth OF those persons who do not
| breathe pure air, and do not get much
out-ofdoor exercise.
In the last half century every year a
large proportion of the population has
been placed in conditions which prevent
it from getting exercise and pure air.
Half century ago almost all children
could strech their limbs in rough exer-
cise on week days and on Sundays. Now
that our towns are so large there are hun
dreds of thousands of children and young
people who have no place to play In but
the streets, and when they begin to play
roughly there the police interfere.
Boys who will not haye their play stop
ped too often become "scuttlers." Boys
who are not easily discouraged, are | be
lieve, often driven into public houses and
music halls, and the habits of drinking,
gambling, smoking, and others which
they learn there are not conducive to
physical and moral growth. The result
of the community's madness in not pro-
viding Fairgrounds and public gymnasa
(open every day) in every town, and
Of boys being really forced to pass time
in drinking and smoking is that in every
town there are now large numbers OF
undersized men unfit tor hard work of
any kind.
In no other country in Europe, I be-
lieve, are so large proportion of the
inhabitants 50 markedly inferior to those
of the best type as in England. The
connection between badly grown bodies
and badly grown minds and souls is SO
close that it is astonishing that all relig-
ious people do not join in asking the
town councils to provide Fairgrounds,
playfelds and gymnasia. If such places
existed, and the boys and young men were
not merely allowed but encouraged to use
them on Saturday and Sunday afternoon
smoking not to be allowed in them
! Manchester and Stafford would have a
much better chance than they now have
of possessing plenty of large-hearted as
! well as large-headed inhabitants in the
future. But many religious people appar-
emily believe that days of rest are not
made for men, but that men are made
for days of rest, and they therefore allow
great part of the people of our towns to
be the victims of Sunday.

A HOT debate took place in the house
Commons Friday on the state of affairs
in Ireland. Parneu violently attacked
the Government, and charged the Min
istry with having violated their pledges,
and as acting in the interest of the
exterminators He predicted that in
spite of police, soldiers, bayonets, and
coercion the people would triumph in
the end. Mr.. O'Keely, an Irish member,
was suspe nded from the sittings for say
ing in th heat of debate that the state
ment of an Irish tory named Tottenham
was a malicious lie. Evictions have
been continued in some places without
bloodshed, because the priests have
interfered to keep the people quiet
Several arrests were made recently under
the Coercion act, the most notable being
that of Harrington, the editor OF local
paper. A London paper asserts that the
next step in the coercion programme viii
be to abolish the trial by jury. II
another Cromwell should make his
appearance in Ireland just now, there
might be found good use for him.

A PREMIUM FOR SCORPION SCALPs.-

A PREMIUM FOR SCORPION SCALPs.-
The Durango correspondent describes a
terrible scorpion, known as the alacran,
which infests that region. Its sting is
mortal in every case, and no remedy has
ever been found to counteract this dead
ly poison. The spasms are SO violent
that it takes three or four strong men to
hold patient stung by it. Happily the
suffering is short, for after two or three
hours it is all over. Patients emit from
their mouth a greenish-yelfow scum,
which turns into black spongy matter
in short while Every year thirty or
more deaths are recorded as the work OF
the alacran. The Government pays a
premium for their scalp, and boys hunt
them and derive quite a revenue from
that scource, but the pest does not seem
to diminish any. They are said to oc-
cupy but small belt of land running
east and west, taking in Durango and
Mazatlan. San antonio (Ter.) Herdtd.
