THE GARFIELD MONUMENT.
Designs for the Structure in the Hands of
the Association.

Forty-three designs for the Garfield
monument, of which eleven are models and
thirty.two drawings, were received by the
association at Cleveland, on May LIST, the
day fixed by the invitation issued to artists
in October last. These DESIGNS are from
France, Italy, Germany, England and
United States. Their arrangement is now
in progress in alarge art gallery where there
is excellent skylight and p'enty of space.
Each design has motto or mark, to
identity the artist and his work, and
is accompanied by a sealed envelope
bearing similar motto or mark, and con-
tanning the artists name. The designs will
therefore be examined and passed upon
without knowing the names Of the artists
who made them. The collection Of designs
is varied and elaborate, and shows that
much thought has been given to the sub
ject, and much qualification Is expressed
over the result. The designs have not yet
been exhibited to the public, and no action
has been taken by the trustees. The first
exhibition by the trustees will be made
May 14th. It is probable that no decision
will be made for some weeks.

CREDIT MOBILIER.
An Answer to the Petition of the Union
Pacific Filed.

Rowland G. Hazard, the stakeholder
upon whose complaint receiver was ap-
pointed for the Credit Mobilier of America,
has filed in the United States circuit court
at Philadelphia, an answer to the petition
of the Union Pacific railway company for
the removal of Oliver Ames from the re-
ownership.
Hazard, in answer, saws the Judgment for
81, l99. 365 obtained by the Union Pacific
Railway against the Credit Mobilier in New
York courts, upon which proceedings had
been brought to have said judgment opened,
was not justly due, and that the Union
Pacific company was necessarily interested
in the suit now pending in Massachusetts,
brought by the Credit Mobilier to recover
81, $50, 900 from the Union Pacific road, as
the latter corporation is successor to the
Credit Mobilier. Hazard denies that Credit
Mobilier is insolvent, but believes it would
be to its best interests if Oliver Ames was
removed from the receivership and Penn
sylvanian appointed. He agrees with the
statement that Ames has not managed his
trust in the manner that he should.

best advices, holds 25, 900 shares and will
continue to hold them. !" The same paper

An Argument for Cremation.

No argument worthy Of the name, or that could be immediately refuted. has yet been adduced against cremation We have been told that the system IS and must remain costly. and that il will offer premium to a scientific poisoner. IL has been conclusively demonstrated that body can be crem aied tor the moderate sum of ten shillings, and that an ab- solutely infallible safeguard against poisoning with impunity and with out de- tection can be taken. There remain the ,bjecuons to cremation on sentimental or theological grounds. The first are completely disposed of If crema ation is made optional and not compulsory. The second are contained in the frst lfa mah when he is alive, has no religious competitions on the subject of reducing his body to ashes in a certain number of minutes by the agency of fire, and thus anticipating the processes of nature, no person else has right to protest agaias, 1t.
 In the epitaph which Charles Reade has written for himself, the following solemn and pathetic words occur, "l hope for a resurrection, not from any power in nature, but from the will of the Lord God Omnipotent, who made nature and me. He created man out of nothing, which nature could not. He can restore man from the dust, which nature can not If the supreme miracle of the resurrection of the dead is worked at all as, according to the creeds of the church, we are bound to believe it is, it must be immaterial whether the body decays in the earth or is consumed in the flames. To take exception to cremation from religious reasons is a ma.eriaiistio super stition.

Who Mrs. Gsundy Was.
From Notes and Queries.l


 Who was Mrs. Crundy? It seems strange, indeed, that % little should be known about the antecedents of Mn. Grundy, who is always % anxious to know about other people, bu, the fact must be admitted thas Mrs. Crundy's origin is en- veloped ia the profoundest mystery. Mo- body knows who she vas or hoy she 6rst entered society. She vas not even . character in a play, like the immortal Mrs. Malaprop. She first made known her existence to the public on the 18th of February, I8oo, in a drama entitled "Speed the Plough,' by Thomas Morton, where one of the characters alludes fre- quently to her mysterious influence by the words, "Wha, will Mrs. Crundy sayF Beyood this nothing is known of her. There is, of course, the possibility that she was the wife of Solomon Csundy, ot the nursery rhyme, who vas born on Monday, christened on Tuesday, &c., and got through his existence on Sunday, for the rhyme expressly says thot Solomon vas married on Wednesday. Perhaps Solomon Crundy was a solar myth, and Mrs Grundy something of the same kind. Thomas Morton is unfortunately dead and he carried his secret to the tomb, and once more the world, which knows % little about it greatest men, will be deprived of all further knowledge of one Of its most interesting women.
