TWO COSTLY COFFINS.
Artistic Baskets of "a Most Luxurious DE
seription Awaiting Two Bostonians.

Artistic Baskets of "a Most Luxurious De
seription Awaiting Two Bostonians.
In Boston nothing is held to be too
good for a genteel corpse. Two cof-
fins. just now in process of construc-
ton by local manufacturer-to be
used some day by the granddaughter
of Baron Won Wurtemburg and her
husband will not cost less than five
thousand dollars apiece. They are
made OF mahogany, seven inches thick,
carved in bold relief with the most
elaborate designs. All of these are in
some manner emblematic of death On
the panel spider-itself symbolic Of
the grim destroyer-has caught the fly
at last in a web so delicately executed
that you fear to breathe upon it lest it
blow away. In another place Grit
fins claw supports a human skull from
fracture from which a lizard is
crawling. Still another panel shows
an owl in the act of capturing mouse,
and so Oh, the intention being to ex-
press the idea that death comes soon
or late to every living thing.
On the top of each coffin is carved a
coat-of-arms, and every available
inch of the interior is beautifed by
the cutting tools. Inside these
superb baskets are swung two silken
hammocks for the eventful reception
of the Baron's granddaughter and her
spouse. They are not dead yet, be it
understood. Quite otherwise. But
having no end of money, they wished
to die regardless of expense. A $780,
900 dollar mausoleum in local Gem
etery will serve as a receptacle for the
costly boxes. - Boston BUdgct

The Ralsmore American charges that the re-
cent farcical act of the canal board in placing
repair bonds on the market was not done with
the idea that any sane person would buy them,
but simpl" to make political capital in the
canal counties by giving the impression that
the canal board were disposed TO help them.
That paper also looks upon the proposal to
place tie canal in the hands of a receiver as
another effort TO make capital out Of the mort
bund concern. What use. it inquiries, can there
possibly be for a receiver, excep. to create
another quasi-political Office? What can a re-
ceiver do that the present officers of the canal
cannot do? There are no moneys coming in.
no tolls to be collected, nothing but debts due
from the canal to creditors, and surely q re-
ceiver would not be so foolish as to imagine
that he could raise funds for the repair Of the
canal. Nothing can now be done to aid those
Immediately interested in the running Of the
canal. Before any repairs can be made the
winter season viii be here a3d the canal closed
to navigation.
1t is suggested. therefore, that the proper
course is to discharge at once all the high-sala-
ried officers, and when the legislature meets in
January, if any corporation can be found to
take hold Of the canal and repair and run it as
private enterprise, and those who hold the
repair bonds are willing TO waive their rights,
which. by the way, is highly improbable, il
should be leased or sold, and thus removed
forever from the arena of Maryland politics.

Has 1t ever occurred to any postmaster Of
Washington, past or present, that the public
convenience could be greatly flrthered by a
late collection Of mail matter at. certain points
remote from the post Office? As il is now, a
person living in one OF the residence quarters
Of the city and writing letter in the evening
after dinner, must carry it to one Of the down.
town hotels, or to the railway station, or to the
post Office itself, in order to mail it as late as
nine or half-past nine O'Clock. Would it not be
practicable to have certain number-say
twenty or twenty-fve-points scattered over
the more thickly settled parts Of the city where
mail matter could be posted at least as late as
nine o'clock in the evening with the assurance
that 1t would be collected in time to 20 of on
the late night trains? There are drug stores
all through the residence quarters, which keep
open TIL late hour and the proprietors of
which would doubtless be quite willing to act
as custodians Of the mail for the sake of the
accidental custom it might bring them; or, if
1t were deemed best for any reason not to re-
sort to that means, certain letter boxes,
attached to the lamp posts, could be painte d
white or some other distinguishing color to n
dicate that they belonged TO the late service.
A few mounted carriers could do all the work
In short time and it is probable tina. the plan
would turn out one Of the most popular i'm
provements ever adopted in this city.

Bourks Cochran met his match when hs
undertook yesterday to draw some information
from Thomas A Edison favorable to the theory
that electricity il an uncertain force and hence
improper to use in dispatching criminals. The
man Who In generally recognized throughout
the world as the greatest living electrician had
none of the hesitancy observable In the
physicians who have been on the stand hith-
erto or the one-sidsdDess of the so-called
electrical experts In the employ Of particular
companies, with q definite set Of statements
and denials to make in support Of the interests
they are respectively hired to represent Mr..
Edison is an all-around workman. His expert
ence covers every corner Of the field In which
he labors He makes use of any variety of current
that suits his purpose, and has nothing TO gain by
throwing contempt upon one and heaping praise
upon another, or in rescuing either or both
from the obloquy which some faint-hearted
worthless believe will overwhelm any system
put to service as an inhictor Of judicial penal
ties. HIS answers came a. promptly and as
true to the mark as IL shot out Of gun into the
face of his interrogation, and cannot fail to have
their effect upon the minds Of an unprejudiced
court if correctly repeated in the report Of the
referee.
The public, it may be said in passing, i get
ting Just little tired Of the efforts of interested
parties to procure a decision against electricity
as q primitive agent because Of their fears Of
some sentimental horror which will thencefor-
ward attach to it in the public mind The
power Of association does not extend as far as
that when the agent is capable of variety of
benefcent uses. We have not ceased to use
hempen rope as a material or the slip-noose as
q mode of suspending heavy bodies, because
they happen to be employed in the deadly
work of the gsllows. We still hew trees and
split rails and shape joints with the axe in
spite Of the bloody history with which London
tower reeks. The rifle is to-day as refined an
instrument Of pleasure in the hands of marks
man as if it had never been aimed, in cold
blood, at the heart of q soldier convicted by
court-martial Of sleeping at his post The only
effect of the voluntary dedication Of a widely
useful implement to the infection of death 10 to
make the people who employ it for other pur-
poses more careful in its handling. II that in
fuence goes for anything it is for the public
good
