Cremation continues to flourish in Europe.
The crematory has taken the place Of the
potter's field at Paris, and since the first of
the present year the corpses of all persons
who have died in the hospitals, and have not
been claimed for burial by relatives or
friends, are sent to be cremsted at the estab-
lishment for the purpose, in the Pere La
Chaise cemetery. Until q month ago the
Chaise did not exceed three per diem. But
since the new edict of the Prefsct
Of the Seine has come into force, as
many as thirty-fve corpses have been sent in
by the various hospitals in single day.
This is more than the present crematory can
dispose of in the twenty-four hours, and In
view of the rapid accumulation of ''sub-
jects, J" measures have been adopted by the
authorities for the immediate enlargement of
the establishment.
The New York independent tells the fol-
lowing story as an instance not so much of
race conflict as of local Southern barbarian:
In the early part of last November colored
carpenter in small Mississippi city, started
for his work in the morning. He carried
with him neither weapons nor workman'a
tools. He was met only few rods from his
door by white man, who had also started
for his days employment, which was that OF
an overseer for gang of street laborers. He
accosted the negro and asked the time oi
day. The negro took out his watch and
said, SIT is five minutes to 6; you are late.
The white man replied. "You're liar" Just
then the city clock struck 6, and the negro
turned around and without anger said 'Whe
is the liar noww Upon that the white mar
drew his revolver and shot him twice, killing
him almost Immediately. It was near sew
eral houses and the whole encounter wal
witnessed by many people. The murderer
was admitted to bail, it being q case, so il
was said, of emotional insanity. He is Al
large and no one thinks the murder will eve,
be investigated. This is said to be the fifth
negro which this man has shot.

A NATIONAL DISGRACE.

At the present rate of progress, or, rather,
lack of progress, it will not be long before
this country will be entitled to be called the
be news to many that the grave of the mother
of George Washington ID marked by an un-
finished monument. This monument, close
by the battle field of Fredericksburg, Vir-
ginia, was begun with much ceremony more
than half u century ago. The president Of
the United States, Andrew jackson, de.
livered the address, Lydia q. Sigourney
wrote the poem, and the Masonic pageant on
the occasion was Witnessed by a great con-
course of people. When half completed the
work was stopped, and the monument is
now discreditable ruin. There have been
various conjectures as to the cause of the
abandonment of the work. Some say that
the architect and builder was disappointed
in love and lost all interest In his work.
Others suggest that the work was discon-
tinued when the funds gave out.
Whatever the reason for the present con-
dition of affairs it is disgraceful. It is no
wonder that Marion Harland's indignation
has been aroused because of the neglect with
which the people of the United States have
treated the grave of the mother of George
Washington. She has issued an appeal to
the women Of America to join hands with
her in doing tardy honor to the mother and
matron, to whom such abundant honor is
due, by raising funds to complete the un-
finished monument to her memory. The
appeal deserves prompt and generous re-

HIS FIRST REPORT.
And HIS subsequent Interview with
Horace Greeley.
From the Brooklyn Timesl
When the late Stanley Huntly was on the
New York Tribune he was sent to report a
meeting of the Farmers club, which con.
vened in the Cooper institute. The members
got into quarrel over a new kind of q pota-
to, and Huntly gave a very funny account of
it, which, not finding the city editor in when
he went down to the Office, ne sent up stairs
in the regular way. The next day the arti-
Gle appeared on the first page of the Tri-
bune, and young Huntly thought he had
struck it rich in his new situation, and there
upon looked forward to being made mana
ging editor at least.
When he arrived at the Office he noticed
that the other reporters were smiling, but he
attributed this to jealousy. In few min
utes Mr.. Moore, the city editor, called him
and said Mr.. Greeley wanted to see him.
Swelling with pride and casting q glance of
triumph around the room, the young report
er walked out of the Office into Mr.. Greeley'a
room. The door was closed and 80 he raped
gently.
"Come in" responded a shrill, falsetto
voice.
Mr.. Huntly did 90. Mr.. Greeley waa
seated at his desk, writing, and 30 he waited
patiently until he came to a stopping place
and then the old gentleman wheeled round
in his chair and said:

body of the snake began to swell rapidly.
His struggles became gradually weaker, and

The poison of the centipede had done its
