At the cremation chapel lu Gotha, the
only public phieo for cremation in Ger
many, the remains of one Htier wtie burnt
on Doc. 10, in accordance with his last
w ill ami testament. Tho burial service of
the Protestant Episcopal thurch wo in
formed, as prcscrilied by the chtiixh au
thorities in Gotha. The body was first
conveyed to sort of chapel or hall and
plated over a particular pot. A hymn
was then sung; a srrnion preached, aud a
choral chaafeii by a choir, of boys, after
which the body was lowered into the furn
ace to slow music, the clergyman pro
nouncing the blessing, "liarth to earth"
was of course not recited. Friends of th
deceased were allowed to make speeches.
The vault, a low and narrow apartment,
filled with gas previously Jgniteu, was
heated to an extraordinary degree. In one
hour and a half the coilin and body were
consumed. In another two hours the
vault had sufficiently cooled down to allow
of the mourners entering and collecting
the ashes in urns, which were deposited
in an adjoining columbarium. In the
funeral sermon the clergyman declared
that there could be no objections to cre
mation on the part of the Protestant
church, although it was true that the cus
tom ceased and burial took its place when
Christianity began to prevail, about
thousand years ago.
That incomprehensible prejudice of tho
masculine gcudcr which inclines a man to
stand up all night, rather than sleep with
another man, was aptly illustrated by an
incident concerning two travelers, who ar
rived at a hotel late at night, and very
w eary. The landlord had but one vacant
bed, and each, persuaded bribed, 6Wore,
wheedled and tried in vain to get exclu
sive possession of it. The proprietor said
they must occupy it together, or not at
all. So they reluctantly su. cumbed. One
of them, however conceived, while un
dressing, a brilliant scheme for rendering
the territory untenable by his neighbor,
and chuckling softly extinguished the
lamp, buckled on a Bf ur and crep, confi
dent of success, into bed. Each time his
unsuspecting victim turned over or moved
toward him by so much as a hairs breadth,
he gave him a benefit with the spur. Ho
drove him from the middle of the led,
and relentlessly puisued him to that un
desirable camping ground between the
bed-rail and the wall, keeping up even
there a brisk skirmishing with his heel
which made life a burden. At last, mad
with Bleep'cssntMs ami with his legs
scratched up as if by an excursion thro' a
blackberry patch, the mansmaii sprang up
and went for Lim, roaring out in his pain,
"I say stranger, if you was a gentleman,
you'd paro your toe nails."
There died one day, ncarOswego, Kan.,
an aged and eccentric man named Alvin
Harmon. Ho was about 73 years of ag
and was a cousin of Ex-President Harri
son. In 1840 he was a promising young
lawyer of Boss County, Ohio, aud stump
ed the State in the interest of his cousin ,
"Old Tippecanoe." Several years there
after he quit the practice of law, and took
up the stuily of medicine. Luter he be
came eng tged to a young lady, and at
last the happy day w as fixed for the mar
riage. But before the arrival of the eveut
ful day the young lady eloped with a
stage-driver. Thereupon Harrison became
a hermit. Fourteen years ago he built a
log cabin, and took up his alxxle in the
Neosho bottoms, three miles from town.
His nearest neighbor at that time was
miles away. He lived alone, and subsist
ed on a scanty and unwholesome diet of
spoiled bacon. Tho cabin was open and
uncomfortable, ana he slept on a simple
pallet of straw.
Th rcpoit that Cyrus W. Field intend
ed to erect a monument at Tappan over
the remains of Maj . Andre, thi British
6py, who was executed in 1780, has
evoked much bitter comment. Mr. Field
says to-day that he doecu'tintend to build
a monument, only to erect a simple stone
to show where the body was buried. He
says the idea was suggested during a visit
to" the spot with Dein Stanley. They
found a man of 91 years, whose mother
witnessed the execution, and by his aid
they were able to fix the exact spot of the
grave to w .dch the body was removed in
1S21. Mr. Field offered to put up a stone
if the d n would wrilo an inscription.
The dean has written the inscription, and
Mr. Field says he will not be deterred
from putting up the slab by any clamor
the act may excite.
The latest novelty in London is a Tosra
Islander, one Mr. Mpopom-ha-ha. He is
nearly CO ears of ago, of mild and pre
pohsetsing appearance, remarkably intelli
gent, and a practical Christian. The cap
tain who abducted him had him instruct
ed, and so rema kably docile and gifted
was he that he is now lecturing. His lec
tures are accounts of savage life in his na
tive land, aud are said to ba highly inter
esting. One great iersonal attraction
about him is that he admits that in 1860,
when he w as a cannibal of cannibals, he
and his family ate a New York mission
ary. He offered part of his earnings as
lecturer as compensation for this uncanny
banquet; but no relative has yet come
forward to claim the dividend.

ilna.
We add on our ow n anfhority that there
are to-day, hundreds of clergymen in thisj
country ministering to Protectant congre-
gations, who are less for uuate than their j
Toronto brothor, in that they ttill live to
suffer for the "very necessities of life."
For this condition of things they in pait ,
and the Protestant Church in part are re- j
sponsible. It has resulted from an over
production of churches and such over pro-
d act ion must come under the workings of
tho game inexorable laws which govern
and affect over production in trade or
manufactures. There is not, nor will there
be any divine interjiosition to shield them
from legitimate consequences.
The I'rotostant Church has gone on di
viding itself into sects; each one of which
must have its representative in every
community; each its colleges and theolog
ical seminaries, to educate young men tor
its ministery until the number has be
come too great for the community to sup
port. Not only in our cities, but in all
our towns and villages is the spectacle pre
sented, of churches trying to struggle
along under a load of debt, w hich often
results ba a mortgage 6ale and loss of the
entire property.
If not burdened with a church debt
many are so numerically small and fin
ancially weak, that they are unable to
promise a living salary to the minister, or
to pay that promised. The minister and
his family are starved. The members
burdened beyond their ability to pay, the
missionary and educational interests of
the church languish, its strength and in
fluence is frittered away, its whole ener
gies exhausted in the effort to keep from
dying and its influence as a power for
good in the community at zero.
Many a church which thinks it Is still
alive, is dead and its members are simply
sitttng up with the corpse. The right
thing for them to do, is to bury it out of
sight by disbandment and unite with
some other, which has a chance to live
and whose chances will be improved by
their accession to its ranks. The points of
difference which divide the Protestant
sects, do not include any of the funda
mental principles of Christianity and
should not prevent any sincere Christian
from finding a home in any church, whose
condition and circumstances are such as
to give it a right to live and a claim upon
the community in which it exists, for a
reasonable support.
Tho duty of every community and es
pecially of the well to do in it, who are
always called upon to contribute, is to
steadily and firmly discountenance any, and
all plniis for new church organizations, or
building, until it is demonstrated that the
churches already organized, are receiving
a liberal support aud there is a surplus to
spare lor new organizations.
The 01dTimMilTwTlshti.
An English writer of a book on me
chanical progress pays the following pass
ing tribute to the old millwrights, whose
distinctive occupation like Othello's, has
now well nigh gone. It was very truly
remarked that the millwright of fonijor
days was to a great extent the s le repre
sentative of the mechanical art, and was
looked upon as the authority in all the
applications of wind and water, under
whatever conditions they were to be used,
as a motive power for the purpose of man
ufacture, lie was the engineer of the
district in which he lived a kindof jack-of-all-trades
who could with equal facil
ity work at the latho, the anvil, or the
carpenter's bench. In country districts
far removed from towns he had to exer
cise all these professions, and he thus
gained the character of an ingenious, rov
ing, rollicking blade, able to turn his
hand to anything. lie wandered from
mill to mill in search of work, and was
everywhere recognized as an itinerant en
gineer and mechanic of high reputation.
He could handle the axe, the hammer, and
the plane with equal skill and precision.
He could turn, l ore, or forge with the
ease and dispatch of one brought up to
these trades, and he could set out and cut
in the furrows of a millstone with an ac
curacy equal or superior to that of the
miller himself. These various duties he
was called upon to exercise, and seldom
in vain, as in tho praetice of his profession
he had mainly to depend upon his own
resources. Generally he was a fair arith
metician, knew something of geometry,
leveling, and mensuration, and in some
cases possessed a very competent knowl
edge of practical mathematics. He could
calculate the velocities, strength, and
power of machines, could draw in plan
and section, and could construct build
ings, conduits, and water-courses in all
the forms and undrr all the conditions
rc-juircd in his professional practice.
The introduction of the steam-engine,
and tho rapidity with which it created
new trades, proved a heavy blow to the
distinctive position of the millwright, by
bringing into the field a new class of com
petitors in the shapo of turners, fitters,
machine makers, and mechanical engi
neers; and, notwithstanding the immense
extension of the demand for millwork,
r.nd the great stimulus which it afforded
to the manufactures of the country, it
nevertheless lowered tho position of the
millwright, and levelled it in a great de
gree with that of the ordiuary mechanic.
American Interests in Sheffield.
The number of articles of American
manufacture and the quantities of agri
cultural produce already imported into
this consular district are very large. A
degree of prejudice cxioted nt first. It
was said that American instruments
would do well for a time, but they would
not last. That this statement was wido of
the tiuth is proved by the testimony of
large importers, w ho are doing an increas
ing business. Still there may be dunger
of allowing the quality of articles made
to sell abroad to depreciate, as compared
with the same that are designed for the
home market. Sharp and intelligent
critics are watching our productions, and
the great importance of keeping up tho
quality ot Am rican articles for export lo
tho highest standard cannot bo too
strongly urged. The English people have
been accustomed to articles of a heavy
make, but our lighter wures, if really
good, w ill win their way to g' n?ral fa
vor. There was a prejudice at first against
American hay lorks. They wero distrust
ed as wanting in strength. But cow that
they havo been proved they are ve y much
liked. One firm has sold over 2,500 doz.
of them this season, and is having ca'.ls
for more than they arc able to supply.
American scythes and snathes are coming
into use, and a large tradt in them is
looked for next year.
The following are some of the articles
and quantities sold, viz.: 2145 dozen
locks, 14,G7(5iron planes, 11S5 dozen box
wood rules, 2952 dozen hat and coat
hooks, 220 dozen hammers, 372 dozen
wei-hing machines, 2520 screw wrenches,
230 dozen saws, COO dozen drawer pulls,
1CS0 dozen auger bits, 7511 axes, 4000
braces. 28,000 fret-work saws, 20 tons oil
stones, 2400 axle pulleys, 32 doz. scythes,
250 dozen snathes, rakes, glass cutters,
&C-, !cc.
One dialer has imported goods to the
amount of 7,000, consisting among oth
er things of locks, spokes aud rims, hubs,
brackets, augers and bits, bench screws,
tailors shears, sash fasteners, hammer
and ax handles, planes, spoke shaves,
wrenches, hay forks, axle and frame pul
leys. American manufacturers, must,
however, expect sharp competition. Al
ready some of the articles above named
are imitated, at a cheaper rate probably
they can be made in the United States
and are 8old sj American.
Adrlefatron of Tabic Symps. j
The recent investigation mine by the
Government in regard to the frauds upon
tho revenue perjctrated by the sugar re
finer, has unearthed the fact that not
only has thj country boon defrauded of
revenue, but that there i on a!mot uni
versd svstem of adulteration of sugars
w ith substances injurious to tho health of j
all consumers.
Bnt these sink almost into insignifi
cance when compared with the poisonous
compounds palmed off upon the public as
"Table Syrups."
Prof K. C. Kedzie, President of tho
Michigan State Board of Health, has -recently
been giving these syrups a critical
examination, and reports as follows.
"In making my selections for examina
tion, I obtained specimens only from those
who are regarded as first class tradesmen.
If syrups bought at such places are adul
terated, we may well suppose that the
inferior class of dealers will have no bet
ter articles. Some have said, undoubted
ly, poor people w ho trade at small groce
ries are swindled in theae syrups, but that
the respectable class of citizens who pat
ronize first-class groceries need not appre
hend any such imposition. I determined
to follow up,4the respectable citizen," and
see what syrups he obtained of "first-class
grocers."

A very important element in this dis
cussion is the great disparity in sweeten
ing powtr between cane sugar and starch
sugar, or glucose. One pound of cane
sugar has the 6ame sweetening power as
two and a half pounds of glucose. In
these starch sugar syrups the public is
not only treated with compounds loaded
with foreign and injurious materials, but
they aro enormously cheated in the very
thing they seek to buy, viz.: the sweet
ness." From the foregoing, it will readily be
seen that but a small percentage of the
syrups, now being sold, are either wholly
or iu part cane syrups but nearly all
glucose artificially produced from starch
interior in sweetening properties, ami
containing cither Bulphuric acid, (oil of
vitriol) copperas or lime and in some
cases all three in quantities, sufficient to
be dangerous to the health of those who
use them.
lioaiesUc
Sparkling Broth, or Bean Soup. Pro
cure one quart of small black beans, or
white ones will do, apd soak them in boil
ing water over night. In the morning
fut the beans in six quarts of w ater in a
argo boiler, adding some beef or mutton
or any kind of cold meats that you may
have in the house, first cracking the bones
and cutting off the fat from the meat.
Put to it one large onion, some nutmeg,
and whole peppers. Set it on tho lire
where it will simmer nine hours. Then
stiain it, rubbing all tho mealy parts of
the IcanB through the sieve. W ash the
boiler and return tho soup to it to heat
up. When served, cut up half a lemon
in very thin slices and lay in the bottom
of the tureen, pouring the soup, boiling,
over them. A wine-glass of claret is a ,
great improvement.
Baked Fifh Take any nice fitfh, loil
it, remove the bones and chop coueider
able parsley very fine, with one small on
ion. Have about as much bread crumbs
as fish. Take a pudding-dish and butter
it, then lay in a layer of bread crumbs,
then a layer of fish, ending with the bread
crumbs. Mix your parsley and onion,
with salt and pepper, through your bread
crumbs. Put lumps of butter over the
top, a very slight grating of nutmeg, and
pour over it all sweet cream, or very rich
milk, till it rises nearly to the top. Bake
iu a quick oven till it has a nice, rich
brown crust.
Chicken Salad. Two chickens weigh
ing six pounds, two bunches of celery.
Boil the chickens in a very little water;
cut in large pieces; dry the celery without
washing; take two yolks of hard-boiled
eggs, the yolk of one raw egg, and mix
them together with one teaspooutul of dry
mustard; add slowly half of a largo bottle
of oil, the juice of cne lemon, two table
spoonsful of vinegar, teaspoonful of salt,
little red pepper; put in a cold place just
before using; mix it through the chicken;
also two hard-boiled eggs cut fine, one
tablespoon ful of capers, und six olives,
cut fine ; save little dressing for the top.
Irish Stew. Cut two pounds of the
flank of beef (costs fifteen cents or less) in
pieces about two inches square; rub them
well with pepper and salt; peel and slice
one quaitoi onions (costs five cents);
place beef and onions in a sauce-pan,
with just enough cold water to cover
them, and stew them gently for one and a
half hours; then add one quart of peeled

The Spanish proverb has it: "Fruit is
golden in the morning, silver at noon, but
lead at night." Americans do not seem
to have heard of this proverb, nor to have
one of their own experience. Mostly they
eat fruit at night, and hence have not the
sovereign ideas of it that they would have
if they had eaten it at more proper times.
They cat it as dessert at dinner. This
may be the most proper time to eat dried
fruits, but it is not the right time to eat
juicy one. The Spanish people learned
hir rrovrb from eatinff the very juicy
fruits, like oranges. These should be eat-
n ?n thA morning, a little before dinner,
itr than noon. Early in the day
they will, if eaten, prove to bo tho best
possible medicine ror ma umuu.

Dr. Tutt nas been en
gaged iu the practice
of medicine 30 years,
aid for a long tim
was Demonstrator of
Anatomy in the Med
ical CoUege of Georg
ia, hence persons usiuj;
his Pills have the guar
antee that they are
prepared oa scientific
principles,and are freo
from all quackery.
He has Bncceedud la
combining in them the
heretofore antagonis

Their first apparent
effect is to iucrease the
appetite by causing the
food to Properly as
similate. Thus the sys
tem is nourished, and
by their tonic action
on the digestive or
gans, regular and
uealtliy evacuatious
are produced.
The rapidity with
which persons takt on
HetK, while under the
influence of these pllla,
of itself indicates thoir
adaptability to nourish
the body, and hence
their efficacy in curing
nervous debility, mel
ancholy, dynpepei,

fllncriHshneesof the liv
er, chronic constipa-
tion and importing
health and strength to the system.
A DOCTOR 8AYS.
Dr. I. Guy Lewis, of Fulton Ark., writes ; "Ond
year ago I was taken sick, a friend argued so
trooglv iu favor of Tutt's Pills that I was la
dacad to nse them. Never did medicine have a
happier effect than in my case. After a practice
of a quarter of a century I proclaim them the
beat anti-bilious medicine ever used. I have pre-,
scribed them in my practice ever since."
SUPERIORITY OF
TUTT'S PILLS.
Thoy are compoundod from medicinal eubn tau
ten that are positively free from any properties
that can in the least degree injure the most deli
cate organization. They search, cleanse, purify,
sod invigorate the entire system. Uy relieving
the engorged liver, they cleanse the blood from
poisonous humors, and thus impart renewed
health and vitality to tho body, causing the bow
da to act naturally, without which no one can
feel well.
A TORPID LIVER
is the fruitful source of man;- diseases, prominent
aineng which are Dyrpcpeia, 8ick-Hoedache,
Costiventws, Dysentery, Bilious Fever, Ague and
Fever, Jaundice, Piles, Kheumatism, Kidney
Complaint, Colic, etc
TuU's Pills exert a direct and powerful inflo-;
ence on the Liver, and will, with certainty, relieve
that important organ from disease, and restore
its normal functions.
