TWAS very natural, but very unwise, for
the people of Johnstown to demand the en-
tinguishment of the fire that was consuming
the remains of their drowned relatives and
friends. They wanted those remains pre-
served for burial. But the flames would have
done the same service for them in shorter
time and with less trouble and expense, and
besides, would have avoided the danger nee
essaIi!y incident to the decomposition in
the open air of large number of dead bod
les. And then, too, so far as the bodies re-
ferred 10 were concerned, they were as in
sensible to the manner of their obliteration
as the wood of the collins in which they
were subsequently incased.

For thirty years slavery was dominant
