A Friendly Warning.

Know We, you towns and cities south oi
us that there is now en-route to you, a
wealthy beggar-bilk on wheels. He is a
miserable little deformed scoundrel, who
works his way around the country on
wheeled chair, freight trains, etc.. with a
hand organ, and hangs around the princi.
pal coners of the city, grinding out his
miserable, schreeching music, and begging
aims. He was fired out of Portland by
Chief-of-Police Parrish, and had it been
learne before he left that he was paying
taxes on over $l5, ,OO0-what would be con
sidered competency by the kind peo'
pie who pity and give to him-he would
have been forcibly egected from this city.
He is not honorable nor deserving of aims
and the good people from whom he begs
should know his Observation-Disclosures.

Those parties who have threatened to sur
prise this office by bringing wood to pay
their subscription to the GAZETTE will do 80
at once, or forever cease their threats, as 1t
is desirous to get wood cut and put in the
shed before harvest, and because parties who
so carelessly threaten to deliver wood after
harvest are always prevented from filling
their engagements by the early rains and
their fall work. Another very important
thing for those who deliver wood is to come
to the office before unloading the same and
learn where it should be unloaded, and after
it is nicely corded, come again to the Office
and see that they are credited on the books
for the value of the wood. There is q cor
rect and proper way for persons to do busi'
ness those who deliver wood for subscrpt-
ion as well as any other person.

The Senate bill to place Gen. Grant on
the retired list of the army with full pay
passed the House on Wednesday of last
week by vote of 1913 to 70. The reasons
for this reversal of the action taken by
the House few weeks ago are not far to
seek. Gen. Grant has been reported re-
Gently to be rapidly failing in health un-
der the attacks of malady of peculiar
ly distressing character, and the sympathy
thus excited in the Generals behalf affect
ed good many votes. The refusal, more
over, Of Democrat" House to pension
an ex-President who was twice elected by
Republican ballots, and who was a dis
tinguished commander of the Federal ar
mics, had been attributed, doubtless with
OUT good cause, to partisan feeling I'm
der the stress of these two considerations
the House was led to concede, in fact, the
passage of bill which in principle it had
already pronounced emphatically to be
Objectionable. The addition thus made
to Gen. Grants income will be $4,000
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1885-03-13

1t is estimated by the committees who
had charge of the Inauguration ceremonies
that the total expenses incurred will not
fall far short of $4,000, which is $4,000
more than was calculated upon at the
start. The greater part of the additional
expense was incurred in putting wooden
roof on the ball room, this item of expense
being S7,400. Then the committee guar
anteed 1000 suppers to the ca'erer, and as
only some 2,4OO took supper, the commit
tee had to make up the deficit on this &C.
count. Among other items of cost were
$25, 900 expended on the ballroom. SO, 900
for music, II 800 for lighting the ballroom
$500 for decorations, $4,000 for fire
werks and 81 900 for calcium lights. The
amount of the receipts is not definite '
fixed, but it is thought by some members
of the executive committee that some part
of the subscription fund will have to be
used in meeting the liabilities incurred.

Cremation or Burial.

Coronation vs.. Illumination" was
the subject considered at the meeting
of the Nineteenth Century club, at the
residence of Mr.. Courtlandt Palmer,
No. III East One Hundred and Seven
teenth street, last evening. The Rev.
DR.. John ID. Beugless, chaplain of the
Brooklyn maynard and presiden. of
the United States Cremation company,
which has crematory under way,
read q carefully-prepared paper advo-
eating cremation. He was replied to
by Rev. DR.. N. Maynard, rector of st.
Paul's church, Brooklyn, who advo-
Gated inhumation. Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie spoke of the poetical and
sentimental characteristics of both sys-
tens.
The subject was, said DR.. Beugless,
one which must of necessity be in
some sense an unpleasant one from
every viewpoint. Advocates of crema-
ton were trying to take away as much
of its unpleasantness as possible. 1t
was no idle conceit when Sir Henry
Thomson represented the nobility of
England as dining from tables of ma
hogany made of San Domingo slaves.
Cremation was rapid burning. Inhu-
nation resulted in a burning well de-
scribed by Leibig a "slow, desolate
burning" Living or dead, in the in
cineration chamber of tho grave, in
light and purity or gloom and Often
siveness, the burning process must go
on to completion. When tho burning
process was completed, only an ash
remained, whether in the grave or ln-
closed in an urn. In the modern
method all offensive gases were passed
back in the fire, and rendered innocu-
Gus. If the burning went on in the
earth the air was filled with the nox-
ious gases
"Let us consider cremation as SAN
itafy REFORM" said DR.. Beugless.
"Few know what our cemeteries real
ly are. Formerly the dead were buried
in churchyards, Gods acres In
many places the exhalations became

Destiny in Warts.

The fate of nations and men often
turn on the merest tribes. 1t would
be indeed curious if the destiny of
England and Egypt was to be mater
tally affected by the presence of two
warts on the cheek of a Khartounl
ships carpenter. The occurrence of
such contingency seems, however,
to be quite within the bounds of posi-
bility. In his address to the Soudan-
ese, Mohammed Ahmed wrote: Has
not God Himself given me the signs of
my mission-the two warts on the left
cheek which are spoken of in His
book?" This cogent reasoning would
seem to have had his affect, for the
officers of the Kordofan army who
joined his standard exhorted their
companions to follow their example,
declaring the mehdi lis always smil-
ing, and his countenance is beamng
as the full moon. On his right cheek
is wart, and other signs which are
written in the books of the law"
There is. it is true, grave discrep-
ancy as to the position of the warts;
but it might nevertheless have been
better for the peace of the world if
Mohammed Ahmed had been born
without any warts at all.-Londo5
Hiorid.

Camels in War.

In lecture on the use of camels in
war, delivered in London the otner
day, Lord Napier, of Magdala, said
that slrong, well-fed camel could
carry 300 pounds, including two RI
ders, and even 400 pounds; but there
must be great care in padding the sad
die, for a sore back tends to under
mine the constitution of the animal.
No animal should be intrusted for
driving to any one not thoroughly &C
customed to the work, and the rear
seat should he taken by soldiers. The
men, too, should have few lessons in
camel riding. They should be in
structed to sit loosely in the saddle,
and so allow their movements to fall
ia with those of the camel, as by so
doing they would add to their own
comfort and that of the animal. To
sit tightly and to grip with the knees,
as on horseback, produced "a needless
strain on rider and animal, and gave
less secure seat In the actual clash
of arms the camels should form the
bulwark of the square, and the inner
part of the square should be protected
by the fire of the soldiers, who could
have the bodies of the camels for their
protection.
