Cremation i'm France.

1t will certainly take considerable
time before the French become familiar
with the Nstem of burning instead OF
burying their deal; but cremation may.
nevertheless, now be said to have rec
ogniged position in France, and to rem
der cremation popular-at all events
with the humber classes OF society
everything has been done to make the
process cheap, says the London Stand
ard. The project of the Seine has just
given his sanction to a tariff for burn
ing the remains of persons who may
themselves, or whose relations may,
prefer this system to burial. A
uniform and moderate charge OF
so francs is made, this iu
Guiding the right of depositing the
ashes in a columbarium which will
shortly be built by the city of Paris, and
leaving only the urn, in which the said
ashes are enclosed, to the cost of the
relatives. Moreover, in the case of
persons who are certified by the mayor
of the commune in which they died to
have been in very necessitous circum-
stances, no charge whatever will be
made for cremating their remains, or
for keeping, during period of five
wears. what remains of the body after
the burning process. Nothing is said
as to what will become OF the ashes at
the expiration of the five years; but
probably, as the bones of the dead are
now every three, five, or ten years, ac-
cording to the length OF lease OF the
ground, removed from cemeteries TO the
catacombs, so the ashes will be collected
and placed in some general receptacle.

NEW GOLD FIELDS.
Men Flocking to the Mines IN the
TranSVaal.

Men tlOckfng To tnf nhtneS III Cne
Transvaal.
One of the first African explorers who
made his way across that continent
records that at one place in the far in
terror the natives were using placer
gold in their old musllets as a substi-
tue for lead shot, says the San Francis
co Bulletin. The former was worth no
more to them than lead, and the infer
ence of the explorer was that the gold
must be abundant, as the natives OBJ
tanned it without any great exertion.
Recent accounts OF gold discoveries in
the Transvaal republic in South Africa
go far TO confirm the theory that the
gold mines yet to be explored in South
Africa may be as productive as those
were in California or Australia. One
town has sprung up--JohaDnesburg-
on the edge of the gold delds that now
contains forty thousand inhabitants
The yield in sixth months of the pres
ent year of these mines has been four
million dollars. These mines are sew
eral hundred miles beyond the fa-
nous diamond mines at Kimberly.
The latter mines are already con-
nected with the sea coast by a railroad.
Men are now ilocking to the
gold mines in the Transvaal republic in
great numbers. In all such mining eX
elements there is great deal of fiction
mixed up with the facts. But far be-
yond the Transvaal republic, in Mashu-
ma land, there are are reports of Won
derful discoveries, surprising in rich
ness any heretofore known. The natives
are extremely hostile to the whites.
But the latter are pushing on to these
mines. If the gold is there, it may be
assumed that no native hostility will
keep the miners out. The latest theory
is that the real Ophir is In Mashuna
land. But it may be noted that Ophlr
is always moved along to the richest
mines that are found. However, on the
theory that Solomon procured his gold

Ones Building.
Those who have recently returned to
the city cannot fail to have seen the
vast open space where the old Madison
Square Garden stood, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. What
was once the main depot of the Central
road, and thereafter place of amuse-
ment where hundreds OF thousands have
gathered to witness the.endless attrac-
tions OF the circus, the horse, dog and
DAIRY shows, walking matches, concerts,
balls and pastimes of every sort, is now
razed to the ground, and shows a con-
glomerate mass of bricks, stones, ce-
ment, derricks and workmen. This
place that has catered to the innocent
pleasure of so many thousands is UNDER
going only II metamorphosis. Already

tion walls. Very soon the Madison
Square Garden will again echo the
sound OF the chariot race and the tour
nament, and within its walls will be
greater comfort and more of the healthy
amusement of the past than ever. Ba-
zaars will tempt the shopper, concerts
and theatricals will have place, and
once more the popular live stock dis
plays will come in vogue amid appoint
ment OF the most agreeable kind. A
tall campanile will dominate the square
like the famous "Giralda," of Seville,
which it resembles. On the roof will
