ant meeting OF the board of trustees OF

Days of Harbships.

New YORK, Jan 9.--The steamer Ne
vada arrived In port to-day bringing the
crew, nineteen In number, OF the British
steamer Pollux, oil laden and bound
from Rouen for Philadelphia. They were
picked up when the Nevada was two
days out from Glasgow. Capt. Wilson,
OF the Pollux, told a terrible tale OF hard
ship and suffering. His vessel had been
disabled In the great storm of Nov. 90,
and being only proyisioned for an nrdln=
airy voyage, all hands suffered greatly
from starvation. For twenty-nlne days
the pumps had 10 be- worked constantly,
and yet the daily allowance offered was
but seven ounces OF canned meat per
man. There was no bread or water.
The coal gave out long before they were
rescued, and the men also suffered greatly
from cold. One of the Pollux's fremen
was washed overheard In the storm.

THE visit of the Secretary of War to

practical character. We read that he
took with him military men and engi-
neer officers, and visited every fortifica-
ton and post about San Francisco Bay,
and that he manifested the deepest in
terest in all he saw, made notes con-
stantly, and probed all questions raised
by the military men by energetic inquisi-
ton as to causes of ills, remedies sug-
gested, needs to be supplied, etc. 1t is

and straightforward recommendations

IT is reported that the body of Emma
Abbott has not been cremated as she
directed in her will, and by personal
direction as to disposal Of her body made
some time before she died. If the story
now current is true, it is shameful for the
relatives of the lady. She was sensible,
practical minded ana clear headed
woman; she knew precisely what she
was about in directing the disposal of her
body, and her wishes ought to be obeyed
If it turns out that the old-time prejudice
in favor of rotting in the ground, in
preference to clean and inoffensive incin-
Grafton, has prevailed over the directions
Of Miss Abbott, some one ought to be
named who is responsible for the viola
ton, and held up for public censure.
One certainly has a right to direct how
his or her body shall be disposed of SO
long as the order does not trespass upon
public decency, or violate the law. Gre
nation is greatly better than burial; it is
abolishes the evils of the grave due to the
liability Of the burial soil to poison the
atmosphere and multiply the germs of
disease. Besides, there is every senti-
mental reason in favor of it. Burial is
but a fashion. 1t is the slower process by
which the same end is attained that is
reached by cremation. To effect change
in the fashion few courageous people
took the lead, and Emma Abbott was
one of these. By her example she
hoped to contribute to a change from the
old conventiC n to better custom, that,
as we have said, does all that burial ac-
complishes. If then, her relatives have
defeated her good intentions, they de-
serve public censure and ought to be
punished, if it were possible to do ii
under the law. So ready to take her
money, they should be equally solicitous
to carry out her last wishes.

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, in his letter
to the Western Commercial Congress,
had the courage TO utter great truth
that the idea of the General Government
as paternal do-all is wrong, dangerous
and entitled to no respect. Self-helpful-
ness should be cultivated in communities
as well as individuals. The sentiment
that the General Government should be a
leaning-post is bad; it is in line with the
idea that we cannot have too much OF
government.

Chained to the Rock.

Prometheus was chained to the rock
while vultures gnawed his entrails So
are many people chained to the rock OF
prejudice while all manner of violent
medicines inflict injury upon the sensitive
lining of the stomach and intestines.
They are apparently immovable in the
belief that to experience benefit they
must keep dosing with drastic medicines.
Unless the action of these is powerful and
excessive, they are not satisfied They
would distrust remedy of gentle action,
however effective. 1t is not by such
purblind extremists as these that the
