swift for him. He was turned over to

devoting itselfto al effort to purify the
morals OF that town, even to the extent of
having engaged detectives to assist in the

ABOUT month ago Louisville papers
contained long accounts of shooting
affair in which young man tried to kill
young woman and nearly succeeded.
1t was the old story. He loved her, she
rejected his suit, and he tried to kill her.
The young man was arrested, and in de-
fault of bail was imprisoned. The
young woman, badly wounded, passed
under the hands of physicians and nurse.
The case against the would-be murderer
was continued until the prosecuting
witness should recover sufficiently to
come into court and testify against him.
A day or two ago, having sufficiently re-
covered, she made her appearance at
the county clerks Office, and it was sup
posed she wanted to have the case
against her assailant expedited. Not at
all; she wanted license to marry the
man whom she had refused and who
had shot her. 1t was granted, the mar
riage was celebrated in the jail parlor.

VIEWING REMAINS"

A great deal ia said about the refine
ments of modern civilization, and we are
apt to accept it all as truth and congrat-
ulate ourselves on our distance from
barbarism, and then, in the full tide of
self-complacency, to go flocking off to
-"view remains Perhaps it is an in
justice to primitive and savage peoples
to speak of this custom of civilization as
a barbarous usage, because it is not
known to be the general practice of saw
ages to put their dead ON exhibition be-
fore the multitude. This curious fail
ure prevails in what we are pleased to
call the centers of culture and good taste.
In remote rural districts funeral par
takes of the nature of a social event,
calling together friends and neighbors
from far and near. For any of the at
tendants at such ceremonies to omit
gazing at the face of the dead is to
make a noticeable failure in their
duty to the departed and to the
survivors. This feeling of duty to be
performed under such circumstances
animates those who move in other circles
of society. 1t is undoubtedly the case
that the immediate friends of the de-
parted would often prefer to cover their
dead from the eyes of even those who
sympathize with their grief, but are re-
strained by the force of custom that
calls for contemplation of the features
by all who care to look. This DISPOSE
tion to do away with the fashion mani
tests itself on the one hand in the in
creasing frequency Of private funerals,
and on the other in the occasional refus-
ais of friends to follow the observance.
But there are exceptions. The pro-
ceeding is not by any means one of mere
perfunctory character. 1t is with the
many a matter of choice. The crowds
that hasten to look upon great man
dead are, let it be hoped. moved in part
by personal respect and regard for the
one who is gone, but, alas! there is no
denying that they are also moved by a
morbid, vulgar curiosity. The same
multitude that masses by the bier

THE appointment of ex Governor Fos-
ter, of Ohio. as Secretary of the Treas
ury has been among the probabilities
for some time past. 1t has been known
that his name was under consideration
by the President, and many circum-
stances seemed to justify belief that
he would be appointed. In respect of
geographical location, party service,
knowledge Of public affairs and all
around fitness it has been generally con-
ceded that he met the requirements of
the position as well as any one men,
toned in connection with it. It was
known, moreover, that the personal re-
lations between the President and Mr..
Foster were of the most agreeable char
acter, and that his entrance into the
Cabinet would help to maintain the
harmony Of the administration, which
has only been disturbed by the death of
the late Secretary Window. In every
view of the case the appointment is
very appropriate one, and there is every
reason to believe that Mr.. Foster will

A natural and healthy sentiment should
lead men and women to wish to hold
their loved ones in remembrance as
they were in life. and to turn from the
rigid, expressionless mask of death.
This sentiment was shown by President
HarrisoRwhen he declined to look upon
General Sherman's coffined face; the
dislike for such exhibitions was indi-
Gated by Sherman's family when they
limited the time for visitors and ordered
the casket closed for the last time be-

public was becoming educated to re-
spect such sensitiveness and delicacy if
it cannot appreciate them. Let all due

THE superstitious are making much of
a remark made by General Sherman a
few weeks before his death to the eff
feet that he would not be alive at the
next annual meeting Of the Grand Army,
and another remark of like character
concerning the ;llness of Admiral Por-
ter. who, he said, might yet outlivc him.
Without disputing the belief that there
may be such things as premonitions. it
is not probable that his utterances indi-
Gated anything of the kind. General
Sherman has been quoted for the last
half dozen years as making speeches of
similar import. At every Grand Army
meeting he indulged in melancholy prog
nostications and expressed doubt as to
his ever appearing at another. Had he
died at any time within the period named
the superstitious would have had equal
grounds for believing that the old Gen.
eral was warned" supernaturally. 1t
was undoubtedly the case that the
thought of death frequently presented
itself. but this was an inevitable result
of advancing years and the departure
from life, one by one, of his old asso-
