VOL. xxx. GRENADA MISS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER Is 1883
The late grand jury in New orlean-

The late grand jury in New Orlean-
have taken a new departure in their
presentments to the public. Instead of
eulogizing the court and its officers ex-
amining prisons, aims houses, etc, they
have been looking into matters outside
the dull routine followed by their predes
cessors, and amongst other things, they
have been examining the theories and
facts concerning epidemlcs. Supported
by'proofs from eminent scientists and
physicians, they declare that intra mural
and earth burials are the prolific causes
OF pestilence. They produce facts, based
upon the experiments OF DR.. Freize, Of
Brazil, that earth taken from the grave
of a yellow fever patient and put in the
cell of guinea pig, communicated the
disease to the animal, from the effects OF
which it died that the terrible ravages
OF cholera in London in 1854 was the
result of disturbing the soil in which the
dead had been deposited in 1865, when
the plague ragged with such fatal effects.
Many other facts upon this new and in
teresting theory, they adduced, all going
to show the terrible consequence of
breaking the ground wherein lie the re-
mains OF those who have died from pes
thence. This fact it may be well to i'm
press upon our own people, who will
never forget the sorrowful year of 1873,
which carried away so many of our best
citizens, and whose remains lie close to
the heart of our town. The remedy for
these evils, this jury declares, is only in
cremation, or burning the dead bodies TO
ashes. 10 do this effectually in small
towns, would not only be inconvenient,
but for want OF furnaces properly con-
structed, insufficient to attain the desired
results. In large cities with crematory
of sufficient power and size, the work
could be easily done within a few hours.
The average man in weight and size, after
cremation, would be about six pounds of
clean, light, harmless ashes, which friends
could store away,if thcydesired in an urn,
after the fashion of the early Romans
and other nations of antiquity or more
practically, could scatter them in their
gardens to make flowers bloom and cab.
bage grow. This, to many of our readers,
will seem nonsense or irreverent, but it is
neither. A dead body is of no mo 9
value thans many pounds of inert cart
and when in it are lingering the formt
of disease to kill the living, we say
let them be incinerated. We would al
any time prefer to look upon the harm
less ashes of the dear ones that we have
committed to the silent bosom Of mother
earth, than place them where worms will
devour or water enclose them. Yes,give
US cremation at any time rather than the
slow decomposition ofthe grave.

In an age like the present, and in a
country like ours, where the money-God
seems the only divinity really and prac-
tically worshipped, money has more than
a fixed or standard value. 1t counts for
more than what it will buy ofreal or per-
ishable property. 1t claims more than
what it can add to our physical comforts
or wants. 1t claims rank superior to in
telligence and virtue, for it purports to
subordinate these high evidences of en-
lightenmcnt to its control and uses.
Money making is a gift-a talent, like
music, oratory or poetry. Although hui
manity is made up of the same elemental
ry material, it is doled out in different
degrees Of strength and IN different COM
binations. Some men accumulate wealth
by simple accretion OF dime by dime, dol
lar by dollar. Like the spider, having
woven their little web OF business, they
stand around and gather in all within
their tolls, which is sure never to 90 out
again. Such men grow rich by self-abne-
CATION of all the rational pleasures of life,
live poor and dress mean in the midst Of
plenty, and die paupers amidst all their
wealth. These sort are miserly and love
money for its own sake, and were they
as sincere worshippers of the Almighty
God as they are OF the almighty dollar,
they would be the highest type of chris
tians since the days OF the Apostles.
Money making is an art which some
men use with astonishing success Quick
of comprehension, almost intuitiveDy un-
derstanding values, rapidly combining
numbers, they see the advantages OF a
trade while another man of better educa-
ton and equally as strong intellect will
hesitate for hours as to the chances Of
success, and then lose the opportunity.
We find these sort in all ranks of life
farmers, merchants, lawyers, doctors
having some legitimate calling which
they pursue with industry and even sue
cess, they are always on the lookout for
a good trade, whether it is buying
mule or a piece OF land, an OK team or q
house and lot, stack OF fodder, or
load of cotton. These sort are generally
liberal and intelligent, live well and are
good and useful citizens. .ra
Money making is a venture OF gamb-
ling, and while not so much as faro and
poker equal in stocks and bonds and other
evidences OF huctuating value. In these
transactions, the sharpest wits often 90
hand in hand. AS when capital in the
hands OF one man or a syndicate, enters
the market and buys up all the wheat,
flour, meat or lard, and then sums up
the price to fifty or one hundred per
cent on cost. Millions are frequently
made in few days by this operation to
swell the Golfers OF the rich, but the work
ing people in the maiu, have the bur
dens to bear, for they must eat, if it takes
the last cent OF we'll directed economy,
with wages that have no respect to the
rise and fall of provisions.

Should the opposition nominate can
