nation that Prince BISMARCK has re-
turned 10 Washington the resolutions OF
coincidence Oh Herr LAsKER's death
which recently passed IN the House Of

conceived that this report is true. The
German Premier must have known
that they were introduced by the Hon.

guished representative Of the biggest
Congressional district in the biggest

his own account, the confidential friend

so prominent q statesman is to endsnger

"AND now there is a erematory craze
throughout the country, says the New
York World. The crematOry at Wash
ington, Pa, began the business and set
the sensible example, as some COM
munities and cities consider it. Atany
rate, the movement Is making consid-
cradle Roadway, and the mania for this
method OF disposing of the dead Is
spreading. The New England Crems-
ton Society, which has its headquarters
in Boston, has agents interested In the
project in every important town in the
New England States. New Orleans is
especially interested in the movement
because there, owing to the alluvial
nature of the soil, all burisls are neces-
sarily above ground, in tombs OF, in the
ovens built in layers between parallel
walls, and the construction Of these
burial places hereto fore has compelled
their existence in the city, to the dan
ger, it is believed, of the public health.
In New Orleans, IL anywhere, the ere
matory plan might be commended. \

There are Indications that this manner
Of disposing of the dead is exciting in

The REGISTER a letter from Senator
CAMDEN in relation to the damage
done to that read by the recent flood,
which contains some matter Of interest.
1t will be seen the Senator is quite
cheerful over the situation:
w. f. Petersen, Esq, Wheeling, ". W.. :
My DEAR SIR Vice President
THOMPSON, Superintendent ALLEN
and Engineer SICKLES, all came down
Saturday night and spent Sunday with
me. Their report of the damage to
or road is very gratifying. Thep re-
port the loss in cross ties at about
10000, and they think that $4,000 to
SS5, 600 will cover all other loss and
damage to the road. Their report OF
the favorable condition Of the road-bed
is surprise to me. They say the road
bed and embankment are remarka-
oily firm and solid, with very
few washes, none Of which
amount to much. The Ohio
River Road has really escaped with less
serious loss than any Of the roads along
the tributaries Of the Ohio river. We
have every reason to congratulate our.
selves. Our loss will not inconvenience
rs financially in any way and we will
90 right along to repair damages and
complete the road as fast as we can
work economically; my idea being to
10 the work looking to economy rather
han to spend money in hurrying 1t.
II our road had been completed and
DALLAS ted our loss would have been less
than $50. 900, and with the experience
we have gained by this flood we will be
able to protect ourselves against future
losses Ii another such flood should ever
come. Yours truly,
], Y. CAMDEN.
