Last week the President removed Mrs Ma
ny McGroarty, bostmistrcss at Cincinnati
suburb. Mrs. McGroarty is the widow OF
Stephen McGroarty, an IriShman who came
to this country when but three years old, and
in the course Of time worked his own way
up and established law business in Gin
cinnati When the war broke out he enlist
ed and rose through various grades. When
he was mustered out at the close of the war
he was brevet-general. He was a Demo-
crat, but Notwithstanding this was appoint
ed collector of internal reyenueby a Repub-
lican President. In 1870 his death oc-
Cured, direct result of wounds received
in the war. After this his widow was made
a postmistress, and has ever since faithfully
performed her duties, But now Demo-
cratic President removes her neither for ne
glecting her duties nor for offensive PARTISAN
ship, but for the sake OF putting in her place
a relative of one Of the fraudulently chosen
representatives from Hamilton county to the
Ohio legislature. The service murt be re-
formed even if all the soldiers widows in
the country have to be turned out

At a meeting of the New York Society Of
Medical Jurisprudence, Thursday night, DR..
Frank H. Hamilton read an interesting
paper on the subject of cremation, prepared
for the purpose of combating the movement
to compel cremation by legislative enact
ment Cremation, he said, was not neces-
sary to destroy the germs of disease. The
gases from decaying bodies were not spec
tally liable to cause disease. He did not
know personally of a single case of
disease originating from the septic gases
of the dissecting room. He supported this
experience by the record of several French
physicians, which showed when there were
no measures taken to exclude the septic
gases from dissecting rooms from the air
that there were no diseases in their neigh
borhoOd which could be said to have been
caused by them. There is no danger from
an exposed dead body. The keeper of the
morgue in New York. who held the office for
nineteen years, never saw a sick day. Nearly
5000 bodies go the New York morgue every
year. Nothing is done to preserve thrm.
They are all in stages of putrefaction.
There is no record of single case of sick
ness resulting from this exposure of bodies
AS fact from actual analysis, there are less
disease germs in the air Of the mOrgue and
dead-house than in the Osborne ward il
Bellevue where there is every precaution
taken against their development. In 0rdi-
nary burying grounds where bodies were de-
posted singly he did not believe there was
the slightest danger. Water taken from the
neighborhood of graveyards has been found
to contain carbonic acid gas, but this had been
found frequently where there are no ceme-
teries and there was no proof that it came
from decaying bodies. \ pool of stagnant
water CT sewer gas escaping from a pipe,
would cause more sickness than the decay
ing body Of an animal. While Dr.. Hamilton
would not forbid anybody to practice crema-
ton who chose so to do, he would not COM
pei the practice by law in opposition to the
religious sentiment of large majority and
In face OF the fact that it is unnecessary to
preserve the public health.

We Two. By Edna Lyall, New York: D.
Appleton & Co Portland: Hoyt, Fogg &
Donham) Miss Lyall's books ought to be
good there is so very much of them. Dono-
van was a volume or many pages, and there
is quite as mach of We Two. However, we
can forgive something to one who interests
US, and this writer succeeds in so doing, in
spite of certain crudeness in her works,
which is rather Of form than ideas. We Two
may be considered sort of companion vol
ume to Donovan, containing some of the
same characters, and like the latter, full of
force, energy and earnest purpose. 1t is a
pathetic picture of suffering caused by bigotry
and persecution, while there are yet glimpses
of sunshine, or touches of hum0r Indeed
the novel has more than common merit, and
the characters of Duke Raeburn and his
daughter Erica are well worth studying.

delicate taste and close following of the

Furness are so sweetly familiar that they
seem like an inspiration, and we almost for
get to trace them to their author. Nearly
fifty years ago was written the hymn which
is one of the most beautiful in the
English language, and which is as familiar

WHAT THE PAPERS WOULD BETRAY.
Cincinnati Commercal-Gazette.
The POstmaster-General advertised for
scandals about otfice-holders who were to be
removed, and who, under the hypocrisy of
the administration, had to have charges pre-
ferred against them. The lying thus gath
cred up, and upon which good deal Of ac-
ton has been based, fills many pigeon holes
1t is the exposure Of this mass Of malignity
that is dreaded by the executive department.
THE woRKINGMAN's BEST CAPITAL.
Philadelphia Press.
The present is an excellent time for the ro-
bnst common sense of the American working
man to assert itself. Differences between la
Dor and capital are not to be settled by brute
force or unreasOning bulldozlng; wrongs are
not to be righted by resorting to revolutiona-
nv methods, and grievances are not to be
honestly redressed through disorder and
chaos. 1t is an excellent time for common
sense to display itself. 1t is the working
mans best capital, and he has rarely had
better time to invest it properly.

A highly amusing case Of offensive parti-
sanship" has just turned up in Missouri. In
1880, James f. Wallace was made PostmaS-
ter OF Dawson. He was a lifelong Demo-
crat, but the most fit man for the place, and
was therefore commissioned by a Republican
administration. Last November MI. Wal
lace was notified of his removal and the ap-
pointment in his place of Mr.. John S. Wood,
who is said to be a Republican. Writing to
the Representative of his District at Wash
ington for information as to the cause of his
removal, Mr.. Wallace was told that the cause
was offensive partisanship. He replied that
he was an offensive partisan, but not of the
sort which Democratic administration
would be expected to dislodge. Further in
quiry developed the admission that the mere
fact that Mr. Wallace held office under Re
publican administration was taken as sutfi-
cient evidence that he was an offensive partl-
san. Last week Mr.. Wood was removed and
Mr.. Wallace reappointed.

Poetry as a Representative Art. By George
Lansing Raymond, L. H. D. New York: G.
P Putnan's Sons; Portland: Loring, Short
& HARMONY One is little startled by the
opening lines of Prof. RaymOnd's preface,
when he says, ''This work is intended to be
complete in itself, developing from beginning
to end the whole subject of which it treats
And it is relief when he continues, 'but
this subject is part of larger one" &c.
However, as our author distinctly states
that there are very few who can discover
in themselves any important addition to their
mental or moral development that has been
due to poetry, or who can appreciate any of
its best thought, if all subtle in its nature"
he is quite right to leave no stone unturned to
enlighten the benighted masses, who are suf-
fering for little of the light of inspiration
which he and possibly one or two others
can give. Perhaps Professor Raymond's
volume is intended solely as text book, and
that may, to some extent, account for the
tone in which he introduces his subject; but
weshad supposed it to have had wider pur-
pose. The book is clever, well-considered
and interesting, and doubtless many will adj
NIT that the author has, as he believes, as
certained the absolute standards of poetic
criticism, and upon them has founded
system of criticism as simple as it is sciep-
tifc."

Indian Summer. By William d. HoWells.
Boston: Ticknor & Co. Portland: Loring,
Short & HARMONY Occasionally one finds
an individual who does not read MI How
ellis, or any other romancer, serially, but
most of us cannot wait for his charming sto-
ries to be put into book form, and seize upon
them bit by bit as they appear in the maya
zines, impatient each time for the next in
stalment. But we must have the volume for
our book shelves and we welcome the lndl-
an Summer, and envy all who have not READ
it and for whom the pleasure is still IN store.
For, antagonize Mr.. HOwells as we may, and
must (for is it not the business OF the critic
to pick flaws, and is there absolute pertec-
ton under the sun?) he easily holds his
place to-day as the first living American nov
elist. There are persons who "do not like
Dickens, Thackeray, or George Eliot, be-
cause the best is not always the most pOpu-
lar: but does this lack of taste in Individuals
detract from the value of the work? In fact
Mr.. Howells has such hosts of admirers that
the voice of detraction is quite lost in the
found of perpetual applause. Indian Sum-
mer has all the best qualities of its author,
and the dainty few who shrank from the
''vulgarity" of Silas Lapham will certainly
not object to the society of Imogene Ora
ham, Mrs Bowen, and the elderly and agree
able Colville. Indeed, this delightful story
is more in Mr.. Howells's earlier manner
than anything we have had in long time.
He is always at home in an Italian atmos-
phere, and the Florentine setting of Indian
Summer is of itself charming, while the
characters are sketched in with mixture of
the ideal and the realistic that is quite the
perfection of art. One might find fault with
some of the forms of expression, and wish
that MI Howells would always use the
purest English, bnt he has a charm which
disarms criticisms, and we are prone to fall
in love with his very faults, when in spite of
them he produces such exquisite results.
Nowhere is his delicacy of touch, tone and
sentiment more perfectly developed than in
this captivating Idyl of Indian Summer.
