Cremation a 6 God Thing.

There are only three ways in which dead
bodies can be disposed of-eitber 10 earth,
sea or fire. There are obvious objections, on
the score of good taste, to sending our dead
TO be torn 10 pieces by fishes. II is $50
certain that our cemeteries and graveysrds,
with slowly decomposing masses OF animal
matter, leads 10 the surrounding soil being
poisoned by the products of putrefaction-s
result that cannot be considered healthy b5
any stretch of imagination. But if we burh
a dead body to ashes we do or need do injury
10 nobody. There is nothing UNIV holesome
in the ashes, which NAV be preserved with
reverent care sacred relics, aud people
who prefer to burn their dead rather than
let them Gle in cold obstruction and rot,n
have both sense and science on their side.
Indeed we have never heard anything like
good argument against cremation, save
one. 1t is that started by Belgium states-
man, who holds that if we burn dead bedits
we lessen the chances of detecting poison
ing. But surely it would be posi-
BILE TO devise some means whereby
while the body Was consumed, the stomach
of each corpse might be preserved for 3 Ger.
tain time after death lest it might be wanted
for analysis. We do not share the terror of
those bishops who, like DR.. Wordsworth,
;hink that cremation may tamper with the
populsr belief in the resurrection of the
body; nor can we affect TO sympathize with
the late home secretary, who, when crema-
ton was once bruited in his presence, is said
to have asked, with horror: "But, then, what
shall we do for burial certifcates?" The
world can and has gone on after the sacri-
Zee of more important forms than the burial
certificate, which, to Sir Richard Cross, seems
an essential element in the constitution of
society; and it ought not to be more difficult
10 believe in the resurrection of a body
which a shark has eaten and digested tn an

An extraordinary and disgraceful scene
YVES witnessed In Aberdeen lately, in con-
nection with the inaugural address of the
lord rector OF the university, DIR. Alexan
Balm. The students, who had been refused
the use OF the musical hall in consequence
of unseemly proceedings on former occasions,
pledged themselves to be orderly in their
conduct, and thus obtained the use of the
building. They broke their pledge, how
ever, and the meeting was the most riotous
that has taken place in Aberdeen for quar-
ter OF century. The students marched in
body from the university, headed by itin-
Grant musicians, pelting the people in the
streets with peas and shoes, and singing
ribald songs. They boarded the tramway
cars, pelt;ug the conductors and passenger
On reaching the hall they found the doors
barricaded and guarded by a number of
stalwart shore porters engaged for the pur-
pose. After disgraceful melee, the porters
were overpowered, the doors were smashed,
and the PROFESSIONALS rushed into the hall,
causing the greatest alarm among the
ladies and gentlemen who had gath
cred in the galleries. The scene that
ensued as one of the widest confusion
Every thing the rioters could lay their hands
upon was thrown about; peas fell like hal,
and fquibs were directed at the parties on
the platform, several pertons being burned
with Them. The furniture was broken and
thrown about. The noise and disorder be-
came, if possible, more intense when the
lord rector appeared, and after one ineffect-
nal attempt to be heard, he had to hold the
address asiread, and retired along with the
members of the senatus and others who ac-
companied him. The students then ru.hed
TO the various outlets, firing crackers and
peas the while, and in the confusion several
of the doors were SIN ashed. Some members
of the sudience sustained slight injuries.

Matilda Heron's daughter figured as a
child in many of the curious closing scenes
of that noted actress' life. Iremember little
Bijou as a lcomically tragic witness for her
mother in court, aud it looked as though, if
she stuck TO the stage, she would reproduce
the parents combination of strength and
crudeness. She is now, after a schooling in
Europe, the Helen Stoepel of Days The
alter Company, and as performer totally
different from the eccentric Miss Heron. She
is as weak as water and as sweet So sugar,
without trace of beauty but the very roul
of gentle refinement, with voice as low and
musical as the mothers was high and harsh /;
in all she does unlike the conventional
actress, and suggestive of the restrained
schoolgirl. The first character which Miss
Stoepel played at Days was the young
daughter in Odette, and her chief task was
TO ask er.youthful sweetheart to marry her.
She accomplished il with naive simplicity
and charming ingenousness that was highly
admired by the audiences. Perhaps the fact
that her father, Robert Stoepel, sat in the
orchestra chair, helped her TO appear diff
dent and modest in her reversal of the usual
fashion of courtship. As for the effect upon
Henry Miller, the good-looking juvenile
actor whom she nightly solicited to become
her husband in the play, it is no wonder he
has asked to do it in real life. The betrothal
is authoritatively announced. Brooklyn

Due1ilnx I'm he German army.

A little While since an officer in the bat
talieu Of Landwehr in Cologne offended two
of his comrades by some remark on their
conduct. Though these officers could not
justify themselves, they were nevertheless
aggrieved, and challenged the offender. This
gentleman refused to accept the challenge,
alleging conscientious scruples. The matter
was referred to a court of honor, and the
court decided that the officer challenged
must fight. Thereupon he called upon his
colonel and informed him OF his desire TO
resign his commission, as he was suffering
from a neuralgia affection of the heart. In
reply, the colonel suggested that he had
probably refused 10 accept the challenge be-
cause he was in ill-heaIlh and nervous, and
mentally debilitate through sickness. The
officer, however, not only declined to adopt
this suggestion, but again declared that un-
der no circumstances whatever would he en-.
gage in duel. Thereupon the matter was
again referred to the court of honor, with
the result that the man, instead of being al
lowed to resign his commission, was dis
missed from the service.

rhe Auti.ne eric society.

A strenuous endeavor has been making,
for the past twenty years at least, to unity
the worlds measures on the basis of the
metric system. The meter is strictly sci
enti6c measure-it was not evolved by the
common people out Of the necessities Of
their daily life, but sayants divided quarter
of the earth's circumference into 100000
parts, and took one Of these, parts as a
standard. Since it's adoption by the French
it has come into quite general use by seien-
tiic men throughout the world. The sys-
tenn is very beautiful and very complete.
All the other standards of measure, of vol
ume, of weight, are founded on the linear
unit; and the decimal feature pervades the
whole But notwithstanding the beauty of
system, and its simplicity, and Whist is
claimed to be its perfect adaptation to every
day use, it does not seem to have
grown in popular favor, even in France.
Our people still use the pound and the
bushel, as in m any parts of our country they
still use the shilling, and in ali the half and
quarter dollar, even after SO many years of
the decimal currency SO the United States
have enjoyed. 1t seems that the human
mind naturally divides aud subdivides things
by halves, and not by tenths. 1t was, per-
haps, inevitable that the opposition to the
metric system should crystalline inso a So
ciety whose avowed object is the preservation
of the old weights and measures. The third
ANIMAL meeting of this society has just been
held in Cleveland. Not content with the
mere opposition to the metric system, they
appear 10 have embraced the pyramid
idea" with great earnestness. Whether the
advocacy of this Rotion will help the cause
is, perhaps, doubtful; but their efforts may
be useful, if they succeed in showing the his-
toric character and universal applicability

Herr Otto Jahn's Life Of Mosart, the most
satisfactory account of the composer and his
music ever published, has lately appeared
in English. Herr jain has therein sifted
and adjusted the confused statements of
other biographers and gathered the results
of his own thorough Investigations. The
most certa 10 thin1 of all in, connection with
Mozsrt's life is that he died 80 poor that he
had 10 be buried in the common grave, and
90 friendless that the acquaintance who had
accompanied his body 10 the churchyard
were frightened away by storm, and did
not Z, stop TO witness the actual iAterment.
His unhappy wife was lying ill in bed from
grief and despair; and when, some days az
terward, she endeayored to find the spot
where the remains of her much-loved hus-
band had been deposited, there were no
signs by which 10 recognize it. Salierl's
bitter pleasantly, that if Mozart had lived
all other musicians would have starved,
loses much of its point in presence of the
fact that Mozart died pauper.
