BROOKLYN. Dec. 27.-This being the
asst Sabbath night of the year 1885, the
Rev. t. De Witt Talmage, D. D., preached
at the tabernacle, this city, sermon ap-
propriate to the occasion. His text was

look off upon the ravines which you have
passed and the hills over which YOU have
come, and make an estimate of how many
miles you have travelled. Then turning
around again in the saddle and putting your
feet in the stirrups, you look ahead and
wonder how far it will be before you come

Successful Cremation.


BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 27.-The first
cremation in Buffalo took place this morn
ing at the new temple. The body used
was that of woman weighing ninety-eigh bit
pounds The furnace used was of the
Venine pattern, which was used in America
for the first time. A solution of alum was
sprinkled on the shrend in which
the body was wrapped. and it was
placed in the retort. There was no
smoke OF fame given out by the retort even
when opened, and nothing was visible but
a mass of fame. Cremation was accom-
plished in sixty-fye minutes. The residue,
on examination, was almost entirely dust,
there being few small bones, which also
crumbled into powder at touch. On account
of the body having been embalmed the
ashes were slightly discolored. They
weighed three pounds and seven ounces.

and the fact that the mission is entrusted
simply to the charge d. affairs is looked upon
there as an indication of unpleasant feeling,

as it is incorrectly assumed, Mr.. Kelley was
rejected on account of his wife being a
Jewess. think the appointment of minis
ter, prudent man, and one who would take
his position upon the basis of entire friendh-
ness, would lead Austria to reciprocate at
once by appointing q minister to Washington.
Indeed by an understanding between the
two governments, each might appoint one at
the same time and then things would go on
smoothly again.

The Committee to Go on Preparing

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO. Dec. 27.-The Irish national
delegates reception committee met at the
Palmer house last evening and promulgated
an address in which it is set forth that,
whether the convention shall be held Jane
20 or at some later day, the work of such a
committee will be equally necessary; that
while President Egan appointed commit
tee of four or five TO arrange for the recep-
ton to Mr.. Parnell or such of his represent
atives as might come to be present at the
convention, these five found it necessary to
enlarge their number, but MI. Egan did
not and could hardly be expected
to make any reference to a
committee to give expression and effect to
Chicago hospitality, for he is not resident
of the city. 1t is also set forth that the
permanent organization of this committee
has been deferred until January in order
that no one can cry faction or dissension in
the work of the committee. 1t makes
use of
THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE:
The undertaking of this committee Is an
honorable and patriotic one-to contribute
to the convenience of the delegates and ex-
tend to them courtesy that will be creditable
to our city and which are always instinct in
our people. No man can find motive to OBJ
ject to this unless there be among US men who
engage in Irish movements only for their
personal ends, and who trade in their rela-
tionship to Irish organizations. Such men
may object TO anything being done for Ire
land or in connection with her cause that is
not run by themselves, but all outside of such
uuScrupulous adventures in Irish affairs will
approve our good work and cooperate with
US, and all honest, patriotic Irishmen in this
community, ana the entire American public
will wish US godspeed. The men on this COM
mittee wished to avoid even the appearance
of faction or diSSension, and therefore, have
left out of their program the work for which
Mr.. Egan appointed a committee, and have
only taken up that work in connection with
the convention as citizens of Chicago.

WASHINGTON. Dec. Eff Mr.. Curtin
wishes to accept the Craftsmanship of the
committee of military affairs Perry Bel
mont will be made chairman of the foreign
relations committee. Mr.. Belmont is serv-
ing his third term in congress and stood
next to the head of the foreign relations
committee in the last house. Mr.. Bayard
is very anxious to have Mr.. Belmont ap-
pointed chairman. and he is equally opposed
TO Mr.. Curtin. They have had some diff
ference in the past, which would render it
disagreeable for the secretary of state to
have Gov Curtin at the head of this COM
mirtee. The latter is a very proud old gen.
tlema1. with a distinguished record, and
his wishes in the matter are
CERTAIN TO BE RESPECTED.
It is thought that Mr.. Curtin, knowing of
Mr. Bayard's objection to him, may be will
ing to accept the military committee. In
that case Nj. Belmont would go to the head
of the, committee on foreign affairs. 1t is
said that Mr. Bayard is anxious to make up
for his past neglect Of his friends, and has
come warmly to the support of Mr.. Bel
mont. who has been in the past one of his
most loyal supporters and advocates. There
are other strong influences back of Mr.. Bel
ment, and the only thing which stands be-
tween him and the realization of his ambi-
tion is the fact that Mr.. Curtin is entitled
to remain where he now is and he has the
decision in his own hands whether he will
remain or take another committee equally

CAMEO ENRICHMENTs.-The medieval
fashion of inserting gems or stones
worked in relieve, and technically
known as canoes, in metallic and other
surfaces is revived. The triumph of
skill in addition to emitting and engrav
ing is in so arranging the subject and
composition of details of these canoes as
the gems or stones in which they exist,
answer for parts of the design, in re-
Iievlng the fruit, flowers or drapery In

taken advantage of so skillfuIly as TO
render it difficult to decide whether
they are the effect of art or the natural
