HE WOULD SEE.
Two Lovers who Discussed Crema-
tiou in n Street-Car.

~ see by tho papers," murmured callow
young man TO his lancee, In street car, "that
they have organized q cremation society, and
that creamery, as the fellow said, is to be
built"
"oh, Charley, l do think cremation is per-
fectly awful to contemplate. Do you believe In
II, Charloy?"
"My darling, must confess that much can
be said In favor OF incineration."
"But Charley, .suppose-well, suppose,
Charley, that good while after our marriage
you were called away first. couldn't bear to
have you cremated-oh moi Charley, promise
mo that you won't be cremated."
"Bui, my swelling, wouldn't you rather
have my cold remains consigned to a pyre and
have my aches In an urn la Greek than sec
them laid away in the damp, dark grave, left
TO tho worms and TO the processes OF decay.
You could havo the urn containing my ashes
on tho parlor mAntel, or on your dresser, so
that they would always be near you. And
then would be In convenient form to be
carried by your own dear hands to the sea.
ehore or the mountains in summer"
~ like the idea OF ashes, Charley. / had
never thought OF II in that light before. Oh,
think IL is splendid. But, Charlie, instead OF
an urn, would put your ashes in a nice per-
fumed satchel and carry you about In my
II and say, 'ali that remains OF poor Charley is
in thts' hope you won't buy any lots In the
cemetery. Cremation seems 30 much moro ro-
mantle than II o old style OF BURIAL now that
know more about II, and you remember the
Bible says, ashes to ashes.' Say, Charley, Will
you DO cremated for my sako?"
II Will see, baby"

,sfhe Annual Loss by Fire.

Tho annual loss by fire in the United States
is about $100,000,000. 1t is about twice as
much per inhabitant as the nre loss OF Great
Britain, four times as much as that OF France,
and elk times that OF Germany. At the average
rate OF production 1t would require the con-
Tho loss is nearly as much as the amount col.
lected on Internal revenue, and one third
more than the annual interest OF the public
debt. The amount OF premiums collected by
the loss, go that some insurance companies
must fail every year. 1t is estimated that SO
per annum 10 collected for every man, woman
and child In the United States to pay for care
less construction and negligence In guarding
against the dangers of fire.

Photographing the white House.

desire TO photograph the White House
tographers Of every kind and every city, aud
during these bright spring days one can
hardly pass by the Executive Mansion without
finding a camera pointing ominously at the
edince.
From every point in the grounds, from tho
lowest and the highest elevation, from every
OF the White House seems TO have been taken
within the past fortnight.
The pictures do not and cannot vary much,
except In proportion to the excellence or In
feriorlty OF the apparatus or the attitude OF the
imposingl policeman who stands In the Tore
ground on the lookout for tramps, but the
thing never seems TO grow monotonous to the
photographers.

WE trust for the sake of common sense
and regard for the rational wishes of our
overworked letter-carriers City Postmaster
Copger will rescind his ukase which innicts
helmets upon tho employees of his Depart
ment. A letter-carrier has some rights
which should be respected, and certainly
one of those is the privilege of wearing
head-gear which will be the most con-
venicnt and comfortable. There is no
sense in topping off man with heavy,
cumbrous helmet when straw hats are in
season. The helmet is proper in its place
on the heads of cavalrymen, but the mis-
sion of the letter-carrier is of a peaceful ma
turc and needs no military garbing. Let
Postmaster Conger follow tho sensible ex-
ample of the postmaster of Chicago. He
ordered helmets, but upon being requested
by the carriers and their friends of the
press rescinded the order. Our City Post
master should follow suit.

smiled aud the remnant Of those who met
in deathly struggle at that period have met
again with the honest grasp Of friendship.
The convention of the Union and late
Confederate soldiers which has just finished
on the scene of that bloody field was sue
cess in every sense, and fellowship and
manly feeling exhibited by former foes, but
present friends, is beautiful tribute to the
thoroughness of American manhood.
