FOREIGN MISCELLANY.
Andrew Carnegie, the Pittsburg millionaire
BlaclSballed in the Reform Club.


BlaclSballed in the Reform Club.
LONDON March 7.--Andrew Carnegie, the
Scotch millionaire of Pittsburg, has received a
bad snub politically. He was ambitious to attain
that political recognition in London which it is
in the power of the Reform Club to confer. He
felt sure of admission, but sought en-
couragement by asking the advice of his
English friends concerning his application
for membership. They all, however, strongly
advised him against sending it in, and
some even urged him to refrain from
allowing it to become known that he desired
membership The ground taken by Mr.. Carne-
gie's counselors was that the Whigism pervading
the Reform Club was too strong to permit any
such recognition by that body as would be i'm
piled in the admission to membership of such a
t'cockney Republican as some of the Wing re-
formers describe the American steel king to be-
But it would appear that what Mr.. Carnegie de-
sired in seeking counsel was APPRECIATION rather
than advice, and the strong dose of the latter
which he got made him more determined to Sc
cure membership. He accordingly sent in his
application. The result was that he was unmer-
cifully blackbaed, and it is said that Mr.. Carne-
re is at present much tout of Sorts" because
he ''nest of Whiggery" gave him an ''unequaled
ailling."

rheumatic Tubes Between London and Paris

LONDON, March THE plan to connect Paris
and London with pneumatic tubes has been re-
ported favorably by French engineers and sub
mitted to the government. 1t is proposed that
two pneumatic tubes be laid, following the line
of the northern railway from Paris to Calais,
thence across hechannel to Dover, and following
the line of the Southeastern railway to London
Letters could be thus transmitted between the
two capitals in one hour Wagonettes like those
now used to transport kilograms from Paris are
to be used, weighing ten kilogrammes and cap
able of carrying five kilogrammes weight of
mail matter Twenty pneumatic trains are to
be started every hour. The cost is estimated to
be $4,000 900. The total distance is 40 kilo-
meters

The 9unrna1 and Gnnrier.
Thursday, November 5, 1883.

Bishop Arthur Cleveland Coxe preached strongly in Buffalo last Sunday against ere nation. His text was the burial of Jesus as narrated in Johns gospel, and his endeavor was 10 show that burial was a Christian in- heritance from the Jews, derived from divine sanction, and that burning was repugnant to Christian civilization. It was plea against departing from custom and he utterly re- fused to consider the sanitary argument, de- claring that the movement for cremation was only craze for new thing. "The idea is so shocking" /" he said. 's.Think of taking the corpse of a loved one, the hand that you have so lovingly pressed these many years, plac- ing the body on cruel iron car and pushing it into fiery furnace. I confess my soul shrinks in horror from it. Brethren, be- seech you retain the Christian customs of eighteen centuries and see that our dead are quietly laid in the tomb.s
 Bishop Coxe did not express any horror of the. terrible concomitants of burial. To many, however, they seem quite as unpleas- ant as anything connected with cremation, and there is no question that the idea of ere-. nation is fast gaining acceptance. It is less than ten years since Dr. LeMoyne built the E first furnace in; thss United States at Wash. ington, Pennsylvania. Partly by reason of the shock it gave the almost universal church idea. of burial and partly because Dr. Le. Meyne was an eccentric man it was thought that the Washington crematory would find patrons only among eccentric persons. Every body that was incinerated at the Penn sylyania village for several years excited the discussion afresh, but the number of it's pa irons continued to increase until the mana sons who were residents of the county in which it is situated. In 1881 the New York Crema- tion society and the United States Cremation company were organized in New York, the latter of which last year laid the corner stone of the erematory that is now finished. In the same year, 1881, and the year following, companies were organized in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Boston, Pittsburg and Buff falo and most of these have built furnaces or are building them. The fact that forty three bodies already await cremation at the Mt. Olivet crematory is significant of the growth of the idea.
 In many of the European countries, and especially in Italy, cremation is looked on with much favor. And it seems likely to gain favor, both there and here. There are many good reasons that can be urged for the practice and few against it. The opposition to it is largely based on prejudice.

to satisfy him that the contractors have made very fat thing of it for themselves and ruinously costly one for the company. Vast sums, he told the reporter, have been squandered on expensive residences for the officials, houses for the workmen, shops, toolhouses, hospitals, etc. As specimen of the way in which the money has gone, he cited the surveyors stakes, supplied under contract at $25 apiece. For the $120, ,000, ,000 already made away with. there is nothing to show in the way of a canal, according to Dr. Gore, but ia superficial scratch in the hard mass of volcanic rock through which it was proposed to cut a passage"

As "all men are born free and equal," as far as moral rights are concerned, so likewise we hold they should be born physically but as long as children must suf- fer for the sins of their parents this cannot be. That the human race has deteriorated physically is a conceded question. To re- store it is an imp0ssibility, as long as people persist in immOr- ality and indulgencies which are in disregard of natures laws. The most we can do then is to ameliOrate this condition and cure disease in individuals.
 To this end we offer to the pulp lie remedies which have done more good, accomplished better results in Oyerthrowing disease than any others which have been discovered up to the present time, viz:
 DIR. FLOWERS LIVER AND STOMACH SANATIVE AND NERVE PILLS.
 The former is an infallible rem edy for all affections of the Liver and Stomach, and is besides an invaluable general tonic. The latter is reliable cure for all nervous diseases and conditions, such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness, Nervous PrOstratiOn, Depression caused by OverwOrk, etc. These remedies are extensive ly prescribed by physicians, g. recommendation which does not obtain with any other proprie- tary article, and command at the hands of the druggists in New England a largr sale than any other medicine.
 IN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BOTTLES SOLD THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE COMPLAINT THAT THEY FAILED TO DO WHAT IS CLAIMED FOR THEM. This we hold is an unparalleled record of success, and the strongest proof of their excellence. As positive evidence we have thousands of testimonials which we will be pleased to show, but which space prevents publishing. The trial of one bottle will be sufficient to satisfy you that we make no false claims. A valuable pamphlet will be mailed free upon appliea- tiOn.

to class think the high trees are the best. Let us see. A tree that is branched low, when we'll loaded, can be picked from the ground, or with the aid of step ladder. There is more of gain in this than many seem to imagine. Wind falls and shaken fruit are less bruised in dropping from low than from high trees. But how of cropping under the treesa This, at best, rarely pays for the trouble of sowing, tillage and gather ing; it would be far better to devote the space and strength of the soil to one crop alone the fruit crop-than to make a double draft on the soil neither one of which can be who'll ly satisfactory.

 Watering Plants.-A good grower don't wait until plant flags before applying water, but waters according to the needs of the plant. Some plants require much more water than others. Callas and all other bull bus plants can hardly be given too much water Whan growing and blooming. On the other hand gefaninhas, cinerarias and carna- tf6nsaare easily over-watered. The same is trueo of primroses. Cinerarias and fuchsias need liberal watering to do well. Nearly all plants like to have their leaves frequently sponged or sprinkled with water. It may be added that for all common IlSaa abOnt nlants water should be lukewarm inspreference to being chilly. When plants are growing slow ly, they require far less water than when growing fast or blooming freely.

English experiments in telephoning be- tween lightship and the land have proved remarkably successful. The vessel selected was anchored ten miles from shore in sixty feet of water. For eight months messages of all sorts have been sent and received in all weathers, with but single interruption from a break in the cable. Passing vessels have been signalled and reported; orders transmitted from owners to their ships ap- preaching or leaving port; the state of wind and tide communicated to waiting mariners, and timely notice given of the occurrence and location of wrecks
