We are pleased to see that some
of our wealthy citizens have organ
led for the purpose of establishing
cremstory. To make cremation
compulsory by law would be task
that no sensible man would under
take, and we do not believe that the
men promoting the crematory have
the slightest intention of ramming
their opinions down the throats of
those who think otherwise and
whose motives for thinking so are
guided by sentiment rather than by
sense. We think that the promoters
of the prospective crematory should
have the earnest support OF the edu-
Gators Of the young, OF every person
not controlled by sentiment, and the
press. Let us unite in educating
the people up to the high standard
Of looking at cremation as a sanitary
measure, and in due time the battle
will be gained.

When Col. Cartwell was military
governor Of Norfolk under the Con-
federacy in 1862, he ordered the
British consul to report for duty
on the home guard. To this the
Englishman objected, on the ground
Of being consul at Norfolk.
TO what government 2 asked
Col. Cartwell.
To the U. S. government, was
the reply.
But you are in the Confederate
States, and you must show papers
accrediting you to the Confederate
States Of America, said the colo
mel.
But my government doesn rec
ognize you as govern ment, said
the consul.
Very we'll, then, my government
doesn't recognize you as consul,
briskly retorted Colonel Oartwell.
Shoulder your musket and join our
company.
At this the peacefully disposed
counsel threatened to have a gun
boat come and lombard the place
before he would serve.
That's just what would like to
see, returned the colonel, cheeriIy;
