A MOVEMENT has been set on foot in
Louisville, KY, to give that city the
benefits of crematory, and crema-
ton society has been formed. The
society asks the Legislature of Ken
lucky for a charter, which will give it a
monopoly of the cremation business of
Louisville and Jefferson county. The
COurier-JO1tr1ldl advocates, in most
bewitching phrase, the great advantages
of cremation over burial. 1t objects to
the "cold grave" and seemingly wants
something warm instead. The Courier
journal also enters its protest against
"the damp vault" and "the falling clods
upon the coffin" It wants fire. 1t
also wants economy. A frst-class
funeral in Louisville "often costs
$1,000" and "very plain burial" costs
$500. Cremation is supposed to be
much cheaper-how much is not stated.
The Cremation society propose building
beautiful temple in the midst of a
flower garden, which the CT says will
be pointed to with pride as one of the
best evidences of Louisville advance
ment."

OK side track in the city of Roches-
ter, on bitter cold night, reporter
for the Democrat and Chronicle found
a car full of immigrants. The air was
heavy with tobacco smoke, and a score
of children scampered down the aisle
and under the seats. A Door woman
lay on blanket on the floor with a
babe not many weeks old. She had no
food, and the railroad men said that
the Castle Garden officials had sent her
out of the city without food. The train
men had just made up purse and sent
for bread and milk, and while she was
eating they told the reporter that
scores of immigrants go through from
New York to their destination in the
West without eating. and that many of
them have no friends at the end of the
journey, and do not know whittier they
are going. They brave the horrors of
the middle. passage in crossing the
ocean, and when they enter an emigrant
car they fare no better.

mo, Amt afraid of any panic just
yet" said farmer, who seemed to
know what he was talking about, to a
Chicago Herald reporter. Don't think
it will be as bad as panic, but times
will be mighty close within twelve
months, you can depend on that. L
notice among farmers that few of 'em
are buying 81 worth more of anything
than is absolutely necessary. The
coming summer will be the dullest for
fifteen years in the farm-machinery
trade, because farmers have concluded
to get along another year with what
they have. That affects the manufact-
uring towns right away. It's the same
with tools, shoes, clothing, household
goods and everything. A majority of
the farmers are going slow till they see
what the harvest is to bring forth, and
how prices are to go. Another thing
there won't be so many hired men on
farms next summer, and wages are to
be lower"

The magnificent fleet of ironclads
which the Italian Government COM
pleted few years ago at an immense
cost proves to be much less formidable
than was anticipated. 1t seems that
their draught of water was miscalcu-
lated, and that they cannot carry their
heavy guns with turrets without sinking
too deeply. Their armament will there
fore have to be changed and the turrets
be replaced by lighter ones. This will
expose them considerably more to the
fire of an enemy and greatly lessen
their capacity for attack or resistance.

The Paris correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph notices an ingenious system
of robbery which has just been adopted
in Paris. The modus operandi is for a
few well-dressed women to mix with
the guests during the performance of a
marriage ceremony. One morning five
elegantly dressed ladies were seen to
accompany a wedding party entering
the church of ST. Michel DIES Batig-
nolles. The relatives of the couple
who were about to be united carefully
scanned these unknown visitors, but
supposed they were friends of some of
those present, and the "ladies" took up
their positions Immediately at the back
of the brides friends, and remained
there during the ceremony, but disap-
peared toward its conclusion. On the
invited guests quitting the church
several of them found, when searching
for their purses in order to place money
in the plate for the poor, that they had
been robbed.

ORIGIN OF THE posr OFFICE.
Historical Facts Abont tho Practical In.
stifution.


The post Office is an example of the mode
in which things change while names re-
main. 1t was originally the Office which
arranged the posts and places at which, on
the great roads, relays of horses and men
conld be obtained for the rapid forwarding
of government dispatches There was q
Chief Postmaster of England many years
before any system of conveyance of private
letters by the Grown was established Such
letters were conveyed either by carriers,
who used the same horses throughout the
whole journey, or by relays of horses main
tanned by private individuals, that is by
private post. The scheme Of carrying the
correspondence of the public By means Ct
Crown messengers originated in connection
with foreign trade. A past Office for. letters
20 foreign parts was established :" for the
benefit of the English merchants in the
reign of james T., but the extension of the
system to inland letters was left to the sue
seeding reign Charles T.. by proclain,-
ion issued in 1885, my be said to have
founded the present post Office. BY this
proclamation he commanded slis Post
master of England for foreign parts to set
tie running post or two, to run night and
day between Edinburgh and London, to go
thither and come back again in six days
and to take with them all such letters as
shall be directed to any post town in or
near that road" Neighboring towns, such

this main route and posts ON similar prin-
oiples were directed to be established on
other great high roads, such as those to
Chester and Holyhead. to Exeter and
Plymouth. SO far no monopoly wis claim
ed. but two years afterwara a second pro.
elamation forbade the carriage of letters by
any messenger except those of the Kings
Postmaster General, and TINS the present
system was inaugurated. The monopoly
thus claimed, though no doubt devised by
the King to enhance tie royal power and to
bring money into the exeheqner was adopt
ed BY Cromwell and Parliament. one adym-
tage in their eyes being TINT the carriage of
correspondence by the government would
afford g the best means to discover and
prevent any dangerous and wicked designs
against the Commonwealth" The, oppor-
unity of an extensive violation of letters,
especially if they proceeded from suspected
Royalists was no doubt an attractive bait
and it is rather amusing to notice how the
tables were thus turned on the monafehial
party by means of one of the Sovereigns
own acts of aggression. However from
one motive or another. Royslists and Parlia-
mentarians agreed in the establishment of a
State Post, and the Institution has come
down without break from the days OF
