EMBALMING.

NJ. }. kergovatz, chemist of
Brest, has discovered q mode of dis
posing Of the mortal remains of hu-
mainly which he considers preferable
in every way both to Inflammation and
cremation. His system is an anti
septic one, of a simpler character and
much less expensive than the old
process of embalmment. All that is
necessary is to rub the body over
with solution Of plumbagine and
then plunge it into copper bath.
But copper being rather an expen-
sive mineral, zinc may be substituted
for it in the case of the poor. On
the other hand, persons of luxurious
taste may use silver or gold if they
please, the effect being the same.
The discoverer has tried his system
eleven times on the human subject
and on hundred dead animals, and
he has never once known it to fail.
Among the manifold advantages
which would result from the adop-
ton of this system, Nj. Kervogatz
mentions one which, if generally
awaited OF, will strike death blow
at one of the fine arts. By simply
prolonging the duration of the bath
the body is rendered as hard and as
indestructable as granite, and thus
the country is provided with ready
made statues of its great men," and
the State and the communes will be
saved in future the considerable ex-
pense which our present dependence
on the statuary art for memorial pur-
poses imposes on them.

4 SLICk ROGUE.

A fraud was perforated on the
Sandy River National Bank, of Far
mington, Me-, two or three days ago.
A man describing himself as Walter
Wanser, Of Portland, deposited ST.
800 in the Exchange Bank of this
city, for which he obtained certif-
cate of deposit, and signifed his de-
sire to have it paid in Pennington,
Me-, and the Sandy River Bank was
notified by the Exchange Bank.
Wanser then went to Pennington
and had his certificate of deposit
cashed.
Having thus established his identi-
ty and the fact that he had had deal
ing with reputable house in Boston,
he soon afterward said that he ex-
pected So, 900 more to be paid into
the Exchange Bank, of which the
Pennington Bank would be notified
by telegraph. Some time afterward
the telegram came. The cashier i'm
mediately paid by check, and Wanser
disappeared. After the check was
delivered the cashier had doubts and
telegraphed to Boston, receiving an
swer that the Exchange Bank knew
nothing of Wanser beyond the first
certificate of deposit. 1t was suppo-
ed that the dispatch had been sent
by u confederate in Boston. The
telegraph company, however, could
get no trace of the message. Yester-
day it was discovered that the wire
between Portland and Pennington
had been cut in the woods and a
loop put in it, A telegraph instru-
ment was found concealed near by.
The sharpers must have listened to
what was sent over the wire to get
the message numbers right, in order
not to excite suspicion. When he
sent his bogus message it was cor
rectly numbered to follow that last
sent from the Portland office.

REV. SAM JONES ON DEBT-PAYING.

Rev. Sam Jones speaks of debt
paying as follows:
| like a religion that goes all
around man and all through him.
What people want is a revival of
honesty. Be honest and pay your
debts. There's too many men in the
church boarding with their wives.
We've got no character in the church.
Go down town and talk your Metho-
dism to a merchant and he'll tell you
that if you want goods on credit,
your Methodism amt worth a cent
on the dollar If you go and ask a
merchant for creditand tell him YOU re
Presbyterian, he'll say come back
here and look at the Presbyterian
names on my books and you'll see
why am forced TO draw the line on
Presbyterians. They are just ruin
ing me. Next to the meanest man
in the world is the man who wont
pay his debts. But the meanest man
is that old money sharper, with long
old bills and teeth like an alligator,
that pushes a poor debtor to the wall
and brushes the life out of him and
never leaves a greasy spot. Talk
about an honest man starving to
death they wont starye. God will
feed an honest man, if he has to put
the angals on half ratiOns.
| want to have all the States abol-
ish their bankrupt laws and home
stead laws, and the like.
The only thing that I'll ever take
a homestead on is my religion, and /
wouldn't homestead that if | could do
without it.
I've got no confidence in any mans
integrity that ignores his Maker.
I'd rather tell my children upon
my death bed to go and live as their
father lived than to leave them all
the wealth of the Rothchilds and
Vanderbilts A good man don't die,
he passes away.
1t is just that way, and you're tell
ing the thing straight now, the old
church has been gravitating down
ward and backward so long, that she's
so low down that the world would
back water on them, and they can't
ditch off. This thing of failing to
pay your debts is a terrible thing.
God pity Il man that'll ride in a $500
carriage and see his poor creditors
walking along. God pity a man
who'll board with his wife in So
900 boarding house and be owing a
bill to some poor old worn out wo-
man who is dying with povety.
My God, if you've got any such
men in this church, disgorge. We
want men to pay their debts.

BALLS VERSUS BRAINS.

The boy at school may forget his
syntax and the double rule of three.
but the rules of base ball are indeli-
bly, impressed upon his memory. The
young dude fresh from college and
radiant with the honors of his class.
will forget his Greek and Latin: he
is sure to use bad English, but he is
finely polished in the lingo of the ball
and bat There is group of young
men, who by their cloth and connec-
ton with the society, are the young
gentlemen Of the town. They occu-
Ply responsible and lucrative positions
in the business world. They are
in close and earnest conversation,
but they are not discussing the great
business or political problems of the
day. They are seriously summing
up-not the results Of day in shop
or store-but the dashing exploits
and brilliant achievements of heroes
on the diamond field. That polite
looking company Of young men COM
ing arm in arm this way have topic
in which they appear deeply absorb
ed. But it is no abstruse metaphys-
lcal question. 1t is not of books nor
of the ethics Of profession. The vul-
gar technicalities of the green dia-
mond are more congenial to their
tastes and better adapted to their en-
feebled understandings. But it is
not the young men alone that are
thus mentally and morally diseased.
The infection arises from the gamin
to the grave old men and effects alike
the little girl, the maid and the ma
iron. They may know none Of the
heroes of history, but they are famil-
lar with every pitcher" and catcher
in the American League. They
may know nothing of the martyrs to
great principles in the progress of
civilization, but they know all about
Hecker at the bat and Reccius on
the run. They have not delighted
themselves in the charms OF Dickens,
Hugo, Thackery, Bryant, Ruskin,
Scott, Bulwer, Byron, or Shakes
peare; but oh, how these crazed
American people of ours have treas
ured up the records of all the scores
of the years base ball The great
national game, The great national
craze Another enemy that is put
into the head to steal away the brain.

AN INDIANA HERO,

Near Charlottesville, Ind, the res
idence of Noah Lackabill, on farm
near Browns Valley, was entered by
tramps Sunday night. Lackabill was
awakened by the noise, sprang from
his bed and closed with one in a room.
The burglar was reinforced by two
others. Lackabill is powerful man
and flung the captured burglar against
two others in such manner as to
bring the three to the floor. Then
he went at them with club. His
wife brought a clothes line and to-
gether they bound the tramps and
set down and waited for them to re-
cover. When the tramps regained
consciousness Lackahill asked which
they preferred, to be taken to Craw-
louisville and be placed in Jail, where
they stood chance of several wears
in the penitentiary or be led out one
at time and receive such whipping
as he would administer They choose
the latter, and the farmer took them
out, seyerally tied them to the gate
post and administered 100 lashes to
each tramp with large new raw
hide whip. Each stroke of the whip
raised a huge welt on the back of the
tramp, and when the operation was
completed pool of blood could be
seen where they stood, Their pite-
Gus cries for mercy called in the
neighbors until quite a crowd had
assembled to witness the castigation
OF tramp No. B. As all sympathized
with the farmer, the performance
went on till he completed the three
hundred lashes.

The largest fee ever earned by a
Georgia lawyer was that of Senator
Benz. IL. Hill, in the great Metcalf
cotton case. 1t was one hundred and
twenty thousand dollars, and sixty
thousand dollars was collected.
Judge Chisholm, of Savannah, was
paid sixty thousand dollars at one
time for services to the Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad, and Gen. Henry r.
jackson received an equal sum.

Sam Jones never uttered pro-
founder truth than the thought en-
bodied in this short, strong sentence !:
''lf anything is hurting America
to-day, it is this everlasting wanting
to get 500 for 81 and 81, 900 for 50
want to get gain by immoral and
unnatural means"
1t is the curse of the age that peo-
pie wish to make money by short
cuts, and not by slow, honest toll
and sweat of the brow.-AHanta Cap

ULTIMA VERlTAS.
WASHINGTON GLADDEN..

In the bitter waves of woe,
Beaten and tossed about
BY the sullen winds that blow
From the desolate shores of doubt;
When the anchors that faith had east
Are dragging in the gale,
| am quietly holding fast
To things that cannot fail
| know that right is right,
That it is not good to lie,
That love is better than spite,
And neighbor than spy;
| know that passion needs
The leash of sober mind
know that generous deeds
Some sure reward will find
That the rulers must obey,
That the givers shall increase,
That Duty lights the way
For the beautiful feet of Peace.
In the darkest night of the year
When the stars have all gone out;
That courage is better than fear,
That faith is truer than doubt
And fierce though the fends may fight,
And long though the angels hide
| know that Truth and Right
Have the universe on their side;
And that somewhere beyond the stars,
Is love that is better than fate
When the night unlocks her bars
shall see Him, and | will wait.

Horace Greedy was a sensible old

to the following he banged the nail
square on the head: There is moth

than to get up newspaper free from
foqlness and blackguardism. Fish

skilled in the art of bandying cpl

brains to do this, but does require
both heart and brains to print news.

A popular refreshment in New Or
leans is frozen cream cheese. The
cream cheeses are broken up small
and beaten fine and smooth with an
egg-beater, the cream belonging to
them is also whipped and then add
ed, the whole sweetened and then
frozen. The addition of peaches OF
figs makes this dessert superior to
any ice cream ever invented.

NEWSPAPERS.

The entire value Of good newspa-
per is rarely estimated by the aver
age reader. One looks upon it SIM
ply as the chronicle Of passing events.
Another looks upon it as the expo
nent or defender of some cherised
idea, with which he is in sympathy.
The newspaper is more than this-it
is conducive to morality, honesty and
the general welfare of the commune
ty in which it is issued. Many little
peccadillos are nipped in the bud by
the wholesome dread of exposure
through the newspaper. Men are
more circumspect when they know
that the Argus eye of the reporter or
local editor is upon them. Thieves
dread and hate the newspaper, be-
cause all their schemes and modus
operandi are laid bare before the pub
lie eyes. The newspaper is looked
upon by the criminal classes of the
community as the lighthouse is view
ed by the wrecker-wLile it contin-
ues to illuminate, their occupation is
jeopardized.
There are but three classes Of men
in every communicative retrograde,
the stationary and the progressive.
The two first have little or no regard
for the newspaper or its influence,
and read it simply to find out what is
goingon, but who could fold theirarms
and see it die with the utmost com
placency, leaving the progressive por-
ton Of the community as the only
real sufferers. The retrograde and
stationary class of every community
are generally the critics of every
community, and Steele trutfully said:
"Of all mortals the critic is the silli-
est, for by inuring himself to exam
inc all things, whether they are of
consequence or not, he never looks
upon anything but with design of
passing sentence upon it. Edwin
Forrest once compared critic to d
puppy, who barked at everything he
could not understand Exchange.

A TRAGEDY IN RERMUDA.

The officers Of the steamer Alpha,
which arrived tonight from Bermu-
da, bring the particulars of terrible
tragedy enacted a few days before
the vessels departure. A branch
pilot named Pitcher, who was desper-
ately jealous Of a girl named Glenn
entina, murdered her by cutting her
throat from ear to ear, and before he
could be arrested escaped to his
schooner, which was anchored short
distance from shore. After reaching
the boat he coolly made arrange
ments, in full view of those on shore,
to commit suicide by drowning. He
fastened a l00-pound weight to one
end Of a rope, made u moose on the
other end, which he adjusted and
frightened about his neck, and, push
ing the weight overheard, jumped in
to the sea. Previous to his entering
the water no effort could be made to
save him, as he was armed. The
body was recovered. Halitar Special.

To deter boys from climbing the
telephone poles at Fond du Lac, Wis,
the plan of attaching wire to the
spikes and connecting them with a
battery was conceived, and it worked
to perfection. The first day no less
than 200 boys attempted to climb the
poles, but they received such a shock
that they retreated in dismay. Later,
however, farmer drove up to one of
the poles and hitched his horses.
One Of the animals unsuspectingly
caught hold Of the spike, and imme-
diately there was a start and jump,
and the hitching strap snapped and
away went the team. The farmer
suffered the fracture of the three ribs
in attempting to stop the runaways,
one or more women were run over,
and the wagon smashed to atoms.
