Miss CoRDELIA TII4DEN, of Cleveland
Ohio, died at the age of 80 years on the
10th of March. Her brother, Judge Til
den, of that city, had her remains cremated
at Buffalo on the Doth. In explaining to
her friends why he did so, he said that he
followed out the desire of his sister, and
added that one Of her ancestors, Colonel
Henry Lawrence, of Washington's staff,
was cremated, and was the first in Amer
lea whose body was thus treated Judge
Tilden's father was so much in favor of
this system of disposing of the dead, and
such an admirer of Colonel Lawrence for
his courage in ordering his body to be
cremated in the face of the bitter preiu-
dice of the time against that means, that
he named his son after the Colonel. The
people of Cleveland, or considerable
number of them, appear to have enter
tanned the idea that the body of Miss Til
den was to be burned to ashes. when the
ted to touch the body at ALL The remains
are inclosed in casket, which is exposed
to intense heat. The gases are conducted
away by lofty iues, and in brief time,
without any roasting process whatever, the
body is reduced to few ounces of pearl
colored ashes, which are gathered into an
urn and delivered to the mourners for in
terment, if they choose. Judge Tilden is
unquestionably correct in the statement
that one-half the opposition to cremation
would vanish if the people could be made
TO clearly understand that fire does not
touch the body in the process. Cremation
is the rational, economic, sanitary, cleanly
and in every way the best method of dis
posal of the bodies of our dead, and the
time is not very far distant when it will
come to be generally recognized and APP
proved.

The statisticians report that the women
Of the age are growing larger. Two evi.
dences are cited-one, that the glove
makers all agree that the sizes of gloves
for women have steadily increased during
the last fifty years-that is to say, the de-
mand has increased for large sizes out of
proportion to the demand for other sizes.
So, too, the sale of large sizes in shoes. is
on the steady increase. Let it be hoped
that the statisticians are correct in their
premises and conclusions. Some had sup
posed, from observation, that the female
race, as represented by American women.
was deteriorating in size, and would
like to be discussed of the suspicion that
the increase the statisticians vouch for. ex-
tends to stature, and is not confined to
hands and feet. But seriously, the de-
mand referred to does not of necessity in
volve the Interpretation that the stature or
general physical conformation of the race
Is such as to Justify the belief that human
kind are becoming larger. While it is
fact as TO man, that the measure of the
clothing of this day indicates that the
men of three centuries ago were smaller
than those of to-day, yet when it comes TO
the apparel of women, another fact is to
be taken into consideration that the sta
tieians have probably overlooked. And
that important fact is, that the means of
supplying the demands for gloves and fine
shoes are such to-day, and are so much
cheapened, that myriads of people indulge
IN those luxuries now, who, had they lived
two hundred, or even one hundred years ago.
could not have afforded the "extrava-
gance' and who, by reason of the training
and fashion of the past would not have
sought such indulgence. To-day those
whose hands and whose feet are by reason
of toll large and strongly developed, are
as free, so far as fashion and cost of the
luxury are concerned, to clothe them in
" kid" as are the dainty and pampered,
the effeminacy of whose hands and feet

pie have been correspondingly benefited.
The San Francisco Bulletin, remarking
upon these facts, suggests that it may be
simply the case of new broom, and ex-
presses the fear that the women will not
continue in we'll doing. But the Bulletin
loses sight of the fact that the people of
Oskaloosa by their votes have expressed
confidence that their women will continue
to clean and keep the municipal house
tidy. AT any rate, there is no warrant to
justify the belief that the staying quality
of women, when intrusted with duty, is
less than that of men; and likewise it is
certain that they have, in the town named,
accomplished all and more than they
agreed to undertake. 1t will be time
enough TO doubt them when they prove
recreant and susceptible to the corrupting
influence of low politics. In fact, there is
more reason to believe women will prove
true 10 cleanliness than men, because they
are intuitively inclined in that direction,
and their associations are such that they are
more free from the operation of vicioss in
tiuences than are men. Nevertheless, we
would not have women FILL all municipal
offices, nor even many; the Oskaloosa case
Is protest, and as such is noteworthy.

frequently when the men learned

made it unfit for camp purposes.
This action so incensed Gen. Sibley
