The sentiment in favor crema - tion as a means of disposing of the dead seems to be increasing in this country, very fast, and especially, as is very natural, in the large cities, as it is there that the arguments in its favor are more apparent, A furnace was opened at Lancaster, Pa., about six months ago, a fine one has just been completed at New York, and others are nearly completed at Cincinnati and Buffalo. It is said that fortyseven bodies are awaiting cremation at the New York furnace, as soon as it is opened, which will be within a very few days. A Jasper county town has a new postmaster whose credentials as a reformer will not be questioned. He has served a term in the penitentiary, several terms in the county jail and is at present under indictment for committing a rape. Some of the patrons of the office have protested against his retention, blit people will complain, you know. — Monticello Herald. Ths Herald must certainly be mistaken in the existence of such a postmaster in Jasper county; but there is no question but that positive charges, similar to the above, are in circulation against a newly appointed postmaster in an adjoining county, and the Herald has his case in mind, but is a little off in the location of the town.

Advices from Brazil say that the action of Judge Gresham in postponing the sale of the Chicago & Great Southern Railroad has so far had no apparent effect on the projectors of the Lake Michigan & Ohio River RoatL Work on the extension from Toledo to Brazil has not abated in the least. The managers of the new Road have invested too much money in the enterprise and have altogether too bright a prospect to stop now even for the law’s delay. They will build the road from Brazil to Toledo, about fifty miles, and, connecting with the Chicago & Great Southern a| that point, form the indispensible connecting Jink in a road from the Brazil coal-fields to Chicago. Work is now being pushed actively, and, sale or no sale, the Lake Michigan & Ohio Railroad bids fair to be a thing of the hear future.

The city newspapers te fl its that a fiT our ton gun was successfully cast in a foundry at South Boston last week. If, after some months of labor, the gun should be biicce'ifuTy mounted, then Americans cm have the poor comfort of Howiag tnat there is at least one car non in the country that is fitted, in some degree, to compare Vi th the nrghly engines of desirveron possessed by so many foreign nat ous. We say “poor comfo t” advised 1 y; for so g eat is the shame and humiliai on, all well informed and patriotic Americans feel over the abjectly defenseless condition of the country, that the satisfaction of knowing that we have just one good cannon affords but little comfort. From lack of modern cannons, modern war ships, modern fortifications and a trained and adequate torpedo service the ' proud American nation is really one of the weakest on the face of the earth, and powerless to resent the insults or aggressions of any one of a dozen European and §outh American nations. Nothing Han remedy this stupendous evil except a liberal expenditure of large sums of money eyery'yeai, for at least six or eight years. Every man who loves his country’s honor and well-being should insist that this be. done, irrespective of what political party have control of the governnlent

KING’S EVIL Tas the nam ? formerly given to Scrofula b. cause of a superstition that it could be cured by a king’s touch. The vTOrld is wiser now, and knovfs that SCROFULA can only be cured by a thorough purifies* tion of the blood. If-, this is neglected, the disease perpetuates its taint through generation after generation. Among its earlier symptomatic developments are Eczema, Cutaneous Eruptions, Tumors, Boils, Carbuncles, Erysipelas, Purulent Ulcers, Nervous and Physical Collapse, etc. If allowed to continue, Rheumatism/ Scrofulous Catarrh, Kidney and Liver Diseases, Tubercular Consumption, and various other dangerous or fatal maladies, are produced by it. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla Is the only powerful anS always reliable blood-purifying medicine. It is so effect* wal an alterative that it eradicates front the system Hereditary Scrofula, and the kindred poisons of contagious diseases and mercury. At the same time it enriches and vitalizes the blood, restoring healthful action to the vital organs and rejuvenating the entire system. This great Regenerative Medicine Is composed of the genuine Honduras Sarsaparilla, with Yellotlf Dock, Stil~ lingia, the lodidett of Pemssiwm and Iron, and other ingredients of great potency. Carefully and scientifically compounded. Its formula is generally known to the medical profession, and the best physicians Constantly prescribe Ayer’s SaßßAFaililia as an Absolute Coro For all diseases caused by the vitiation of the blood. It is concentrated to the highest practicable degree, far bejyond any other preparation for which like effects are claimed, and is therefore the cheapest, as well as the best blood purifying medicine, in the world.
