The Church Trial.

LAWRENCE, Mass, March 25.-In the
Angustinian trials to-day it was announced
that ten cases against st. Mary's church has
been abandoned, and that the plaintiffs would
rely on the three cases a gainst the Immacu-
tate Conception church. The plaintiff, Ellen
Leahy testified, that she understood that
when she deposited her money with Father
Orritt, it was for church purposes, and that
Archbishop Williams was responsible there
for. The archbishop took the stand and
said, that he recognizes no law but those Of
the United States. Most Of the legal titles 10
church property in the dioceses were held by
him. He agreed with DR.. Smith, that the
bishop was universal parish priest, and
that there were no parishes according to
cannon laws. The powers of the priests had
been delegated to them. The contracts for
the deposit in question were made before he
became bishop.

Fish Commissioners in protecting the food

have attracted much attention The Fish
Commission is energetic and does its best
to enforce the protective laws, but it is
hampercd sadly 1t has not sufficient
means and it does not appear to have pub
lie sympathy. The Commission must he
supported and its eXchcquer strengthened
or the food fish of the rivers will soon be
extinct. One account given in our local
columns last week detailed the experiences
Of one of the Commissioners in attempting
to suppress illegal fisheries near Colusa, in
which it was rccounted that he experienced
the greatest difficulty in convincing the
people Of that section that the arrests he
made were for their best interests, and that
unless thei mproyiicut fisher, were checked
there would soon be left in the river no fish
lit to eat. These Illegal fisheries, says this

ever refused to any the privilege of cremat-
ing their dead. Under any and all circum-
stances the body must burn. lncineration
is the inevitable There are two and only
two processes, one is by more or less slowly
incinerating i'll the foul tomb, for the
chemical change effected by rotting is pre-
cisely the same as that accomplished by
the application of heat, which is the sec

Dr. Gross, of Philadelphia, a most enlight-
ened scientist and a physician of enviable
reputation, lately died, leaving an order
that his body should be disposed of by ra-
tional methods and not committed to the
loathsOmenesS of the grave. His example
has had marked good effect. When we
speak of burial" and the grave" we
mean at all times the conventional grave
and the usual methods of burial-inclosure
of the body in tight boxes or caskets Far
less repugnant and natural is burial next
to the bare breast of mother earth. She
will take care of decaying mortality in such
cases she will resolve it into dust speedily
and with comparatively little of repulsive-
ness. The Union soldiers with the blue
regalia of loyal devotion buttoned across
their bosoms when they were laid in the
naked trenches of the South and covered
with the damp mold of mother earth were
better buried than the bodies encased in
rich close Caskets of wood or metal thai
prevented the return of earth to earth"
and promoted decay horrible to contem-
plate But the filter method is incinera-
ton, since it does speedily what else may
consume years, and certainly must take
months, while it does not surcharge the
earth with the germs of death, to Stay the
living who move above rotting humanity
in our gravcyards.

We are told that the lie Moyne crcmatory

have been driven TO issue an order denying
its use to all non-residcnts of the county
in which it is located 1t is gratifying to
know that cremation is growing in favor.
This journal has been warm advocate for
incineraion, and it expects the near day
when burial will be the exception, and
when such health authorities as those of
San Francisco will fatty deny that they

IT is probable that an English force will,
after all, be equipped to 60 to the relief Of
General Gordon at Khartoum The cam
paign precedent to reaching Gordon will
be one of great hardships, and the soldicry
to be chosen to the work are not to be en-
We'd For instance, all the water for the
men must be carried between Suakim, on
the Red Sea, and Bcrbcr, on the Nile, and
the march will at best consume nearly a
month. The road is very narrow, and en-
braccd very often in defiles where only two
camcls can walk abreast Any large body
of men for such 4 march must be equipped
with the greatest care, and every provision
possible against disaster. It Will hardly be
possible to organize 4 force and tit it out
before September and by that time General
Gordon may be lost
