of war, and secretary of state in the cabinet
of Jefferson Davis, and was equal to every

the country at the close of the wal

he was admitted to the English bar, and
soon attained as great eminence in the Eng

of his own country. During the fifteen year.

he accumulated u largo fortune Some two
years ago he was told by his physicians that
he was suffering from heart disease, and by
their advice ho retired from practice. Since

Too Much pelIberatIon.

According to tho statement of the third
Florida, the captain was too coop after the
collision occurred. Ills manner tended TO
reassure the passengers, and prevented them
from getting into the boats as hastily as they
would have done if they had supposed tho
vessel was in imminent danger of sinking
1t is seldom that an officer shows too much
solf-possession in great emergency, and in
this case it rather appears that it was not the
captains calm demeauor that was to
blame, but tho extraordinary deliberation
shown by tho crew in getting
the boats into the water. The night was
clear, the stars were shining, and tho soa Is
described by tho survivors of the disaster as
being ''as smooth as glass" The vessel must
have lost good deal of its momentum by
the collision, and tho engines were stopped
before she struck. Yet with all these favor
able conditions, it was fifteen minutes before
the boats wero launched. One of the boats
was so badly handled that all the passengers
were tilted into the sea by tho premature cut
ting of q rope. Inasmuoh as the steamer rc-
mained aloat fifteen minutes after she struck,
and the sea was smooth and calm, q
larger number of tho passengers
ought to have been saved. There is
an impression abroad that the men employed
by the great steamship companies are very
poor sailors, aud that in an accident they are
of no moro account than SO many laudsmen.
The conduct of the crew of the State Of
Florida goes far toward confirming this belief.
As for the captains extraordinary coolness,
it will always be question whether his
fault was self.possesslon or indifference.

DIR. SAMUEL d. GROSS requested that his
body be inc nerated, and his family have
carriel out his wishes. The cremationists
will doubtless be greatly elated over the fact
that so illustrious man thought we'll of the
practice of reducing the body to ashes in q
fiery furnace instead Of committing it to tho
slow process of decay and absorption. DR..
Gross was not an enthusiast or sentimental
ist. He was o singuarly sagacious and prac-
tical man, an orthodox believer, and q
conservative in all his views. In making
this request he evidently was contemplating
the effect which such an example would
have upon society, and he meant
TO testify his belief in cremation
as the best method Of disposing of the dead
in tho strongest possible way, namely, by
giving his own body to bo burned DIR
Gross was for more than fifty years teacher
of medical science, and in that time was con.
nected with five or six medical colleges. IL,
