Progress for Cremation.

The advocates Of cremation may con-
graduate themselves that their cause is
progressing. When even tOrpid-brained
city officials have come to regard crema-
ton from a practical point of view, it is
surely time to be stirring. The CITY SAM
tary Committee was asked Yesterday TO
consider whether it was not advisable
that proper crematOrium should be
erected at the ItOrd Cemetery in order
that the public might adopt that mode of
sepulture should they so wish.'' There
are 100000 deaths yearly in the metropO-
lis, and all the bodies are buried in the
surface soil around London; that is, in 30
years 100000 bodies. In 30 years, says
Sir Spencer Wells, a body becomes clay,
and we have, therefore, always 1000, 900
bodies under our feet undergoing charm
full decay" The motion was seconded.
and-carried without opposition. What
are the WOking people doing? Mr.. Eas-
sic and his committee should canvass for
bodies at 0nce-tO put the matter plainly.
Let them advertise for money. Let them
begin crusade throughout the coun-
try; send lecturers with lime-light and
dIagram-the more hideous the better
Let Sir Henry Thompson draw them a Sc

way, when the Ilford crematorium is
erected, a special niche should be reserved
for the remains of Judge stephens, and a
glass window erected in honor of the
Welsh Druid, who needs no urn. 1t is
pretty safe to predict that he will never
die in his bed, but, martyr for his cause,
will build pyre for himself on the sum-
nit of some lonely Welsh mountain, light
it with his own right hand, and let the
four winds Of heaven scatter his ashes as
they list,

Aid to the Injured.

I, Bites Of all sorts are painful, and if
not treated with expedition and skill they
sometimes prove very dangerous. The
most common kinds are those received
from dogs, mosquitoes and bears. The
rarest kinds are trilObites and JacObites.

The YaInest Man AIive

PdfiS Cor. ChicdCO Tribune, april 10.
Victor Hugo is now 80 his birthday
was Feb. 26), and if not at the acme Of his
genius he is assuredly at the acme of his
egOtism. His vanity has been steadily
and swiftly growing through two genera
tiOns, until it has reached height that no
ordinary mind can measure. 1t is colOs-
sal, everlasting, Unsuitable. Since he
wrote his codes and Ballads" when he
was 20, he has been largely occupied with
his bOundless importance and the cOntem-
platiOn of his own greatness, and for
many years past he has been irredeema-
bly, lost IN admiring wOnderment at his
personal perfec lions. Other men are
vain; Hugo is vanity itself. To express
even family his superlative, his prefer
natural seli-esteem, some new word
should be invented, and the best word
would be HugOism.
Nowhere but in France would such
dedication be possible. France is self
wOrshipful. and the French, in a way,
worship themselves by wOrshiping Hugo,
who is in their eyes, first. Il Frenchman,
and, secondly, a genius. He is the one
man Of the country before whom all other
men pale and dwindle. The French peO-
pie, as he thinks, and as they are willing
to cOncede, are divided into the French
and Victor Hugo. He is the apOtheOsis Of
poetry, the avatar Of intellect.
Everybody addresses him as ''Dear
Master" and strangers who call on him
he is very accesslble-dO little else than
echo the praises he expects as his due.
Many of these praises are ludicrOusly
excessive; but they never sound SO to him.
His hearing has grown callOus to the
exaggerated compliment that have so long
assaulted it. No Anglo-Saxon could or
would endure such a battery of adulation.
SUperlatiyes have become so familiar to
him that the positive degree might
awaken resentment. He is continually
accOsted as divine" ''the greatest of
poets" ''the monarch of mirth,' y ''the in
tellectual ruler of the age,'' and the like.
A not uncommon form of greeting is.
"How is the good god?' to which he
responds with wonderful righteousness,
The good god is very WELL"

together, the aspect Of things was cheer

still dearer to its inmates BY providing
delightful little dainties for Aimee, which
that lady invariably ''passed around"
Therefore, when La POmpadOur asked
Aimee to narrate her woes, she wanted,
first, to console the actress, and, secondly,
to amuse her boarders.

shak espeare SOLD the Use of His Name


Now, William Shakespeare, loved and
loving gentleman as he was, is understood
to have been very shrewd in money mat
tiers. None knew the meaning of poverty
better than he. Had he not been so, and
rightly so, his father would never have
stirred outside the door; the Lambert
mortgages would have remained unpaid
nor would the Quineys have swarmed
around for their kinsman's crumbs, and
nudged each other to look up good things
where he could place the wealth they
saw him boarding. Is it not, there
fore, impossible to suppose him ignorant
Of or indifferent to the cash value of his
own name? Is it not quite as impossible,
again, to believe that, if printed at his own
instance, he allowed his publisher to dedi-
cate the book to friend that if dedicated
to either of his own patrons, Pembroke or
Southampton, he Shakespeare was una
BILE TO write his own dedication; or, wri-
ting it, asked his publisher to sign it! If
the escape from these difficulties is not by
way of assumption that Shakespeare sold
the use Of his name to the printers Of
anonymous poetry precisely as he is
known to have sold it to the printers of
anonymous plays, then those difficulties

Daniel Webster,s Home for Sale
Boston Daiiy Adgcrtjser.


The announcement that the Webster
estate at Marshfield is for sale will evoke
many interesting and tender associations
in connection with the life and death of
the great statesman. 1t was here that he
spent many Of his happiest hours, gather
ing rest and refreshment for those con-
tlicts Of the Senate and the forum which
are identified with the history of New
England and of the entire country. 1t
was Webster's taste for rural life-fOr
fishing and shooting, the pride he took in
his fine stock and in his large crops
which attested the healthy vigOr of his
