THE authorities of Lisbon have passed an
ordinance imposing cremation during cpl
denies and requiring that the remains of in
tered bodies must be burned at the end of
five years. In Paris their remains at the end
of a certain time are gathered together and
aiken to the catacombs. Cremation will be-
come imperative at no distant day in the
great cities of the world. 1t ought to be
adopted by general consent on account of its
many commendable features, such as clean
illness, healthfulness and the absolute secur-
ity against the grim possibility of the re-
mains OF friends finding their way to the
picking vat and dissecting-table.

THE Louisville CourierJournal says that
the Republican party has been destroyed in
one-half the Union on account of its advo-
cacy of the civif-rights act. In other words,
the South was lost to the Republican party
because OF its friendliness to the negro. This
is an unguarded admission of the real status
of the two great parties relative to the
colored man. The South was lost to the Re-
publican party because Southern white Dem
ocrats had a playful way of beating, whip
ping and killing colored Republicans who
thought to enjoy the right Of suffrage. Civil
rights had little or nothing to do with it.
The white Democrats OF that section of the
country resolved on a white mans govern
ment, and they have it.

MoNsIGNoR CAPEL says: God be praised
for woman, that weaker creature obedient
both to God and man." The Monsignor is
yet in the bliss of ignorance. If he should
linger about this country a while longer, he
will observe a distressing lack of obedience
to man on the part of the gentle creatures,
most shines" In the meantime, the good
priest can find a congenial soul in Rev. Morgan
Dix. Both these gentlemen Glove the ladies,
God bless 'em."

ASSISTANT BISHOP POTTER OBLIGATED for the
first time in his new office at the penitenuiary on
Blackwelrs island. One day the central figure in
the pomp surrounding his confirmation In Grace
Church, and the very next preaching within the
bare walls of the prison. The report says, and
it is worth quoting in full:
Fl manner was grave and dignified; his
words were few but well chosen. He was lis
tened TO with the closest attention. He selected
for his text; Jesus saith unto her, Neither do [
condemn thee; go, and sin no more" He said,
in substance: II thank God for the privilege of
beginning my work as a missionary. The tempt
atoms of your life and mine, my dear brethren,
are the same. They may not come in the same
form, but they conceal the same evil spirit. No
one is exempt from its approach, whatever the
conditions of his life. We must all stand some
day at The parting of the ways, confronted with
a tempter, be IL man or woman who bids us for
sake the good and choose the evil path. If we
listen and go a little with him, saying thus far
and no farther, we find it easier TO keep on In sin
than to retrace our steps. But we are never he
yond the reach of Gods mercy. His promises
and assurance of help and comfort are always
held out to us. He knows our weaknesses. Why
should we fear the condemnation of man since
pardon from a higher power avails those who
truly repent and unfeignedly believe His holy
g0spel2 / would not bewilder your minds by
theological distinctions as TO the way by which
you may return to him"

"THE civil-rights law had sufficient force,
even though it were illegal, to give the COL
ored men a status and insure him rights that
he might not have otherwise gained. Scarce
ly any one now objects to his right of
suffrage, and none would vote to take these
rights away from him."
This is from the Logansport Pharos, an or
gan of a party that has fought with relentless
hate and bitterness every step in advance
taken by the colored people. Scarcely any
one now objects to his right of suffrage, "
State where his suffrage would be of avail to
overthrow the Democratic party, the ballot is
made a mockery of by all sorts of frauds, and,
if necessary, by intimidation and murder.
Frederick Douglass said, in his Louisville
speech, of the colored men in the Southern
States: 'They have marched to the ballot
box in the face of cleaning weapons,
wounds and death. They are under con-
troll of a foul, haggard and damning
conspiracy against reason, law and the con-
stitution." This statement is not over
drawn. Every weapon was in the hands
of a Democrat. Every wound was inflicted
by a Democrat. Every murder was COM
mitted by a Democrat. Every conspirator,
with tissue ballot and other fraudulent de-
vice, was a Democrat. And yet the Demo
cratic party now fawns over the colored
man. Faugh!

IT is generally conceded that the women of
this country are unequaled in taking more
rights than properly belong to them. but a COM
plant is made in a London paper which shows
that the ladies Of that city are cup and coming"
In the reading-room of the British museum two
large tables are set apart for the exclusive use
of women, and if a man sits there an attendant
promptly routs him out. But do the women &C.
cupy the seats reserved for theln9 No, indeed;
they invade the mems tables, and are not to be
moved by hints. The masculine complainant
does not understand the mystery, but calls for a
forcible eviction. The singular conduct of these
women undoubtedly proceeds from the same
cause which leads men in this country to intrude
into ladies' waiting-rooms at depots and ladies'
railway cars.

Mr.. Hatton's recommendations in his report

Hon. w. D. WARNER, United States consul
at Dusseldorf, is authority for the statement
that the average yearly wages paid working
men during the year 1873 (free-trade period)
amounted to ST marks. Last year, under
protection, it was 900 marks. This increase
of over IL per cent. may fairly be credited to
the influence of protection.

THE Republican party was formed upon The
principle of the equal rights of all men be-

consummation was over the dead bodies of

correct-that he disproved all the charges

A FAITH CURE band in Pittsf1eld, Mass, have
formulated their belief and call it ''psycho-
pathy." In order to be cured the sick person
must have unwavering faith in the method, and
must also practice ''autopsychism, or, in other
words, pray for himself. The members of the
band are very enthusiastic, and point with
pride" to a number of cured patients, among
them a young man who has miraculously recov-
cred from the paralyzing effects of too much to-
bacco. For some time past the united energies

PAUL VANDERvooRT, the ex-commander of
the Grand Army of the Republic, is out in a
card referring to his recent removal from
office by Postmaster-general Gresham, in
which he states that, in an interview asking to
be reinstated, he was offered the position Of
register of a land Office in Dakota, which he
declined. In a short time, in another inter-
view demanding reinstatement, he was in
formed that he had been appointed customs
agent at Port Townsend, Washington Terri

order dismissing him from the postal service
would be revoked. Vanderyoort declined,
insisting upon reinstatement as a matter of

sign, but this proposition he also declined.
