OUR DEALING WITH THE DEAD. The perils of popularity are never as apparent as when a popular man dies. To see the uss and parade that is made over the cold corpus of the great defunct is enough to deter one. from attempting to become famous, while it increases the natural reluctance to depart. "Plant me as soon as I am cold," were the last words of a man who thought shudderingly of these things in his final moments. Men have died and worms have eaten them, but sometimes the worms are kept from their legitimate repast for an unreasonable length of time.

This custom of unduly parading the dead is a very general one. A man of some note 'dies. Then follow lengthy obituary notices in the papers, generally of a character that would be considered in the light of a, first-class "puflT" if the man were alive, and charged accordingly. Then there is a meeting of the profession to which he belonged, who pass a long string of resolutions eulogizing the man they have been fighting all their lives perhaps, and make speeches "in which they vie with each other in sayiug good things about tho deceaged, which they never did when on earth.

Being dead, the utterances can do him no good and as they cost nothing they are freely lavished. Then the speeches and tho resolutions are published in the papers, together with another column or so the editor forgot to say in his obituary.

The man belonged to several secret societies, besides being a member of a firo company in good standing, and they feel impelled to each hold a meeting and resolve that he is dead, and as the resolutions wind up with a resolve that they "bo published in all the papers," the suffering public is still further wearied with this monotonous mortuary literature. And sometimes on tho top of all this the sermon is published in full.

IIow much heart and feeling there is in these pomps and shows of grief, is often too painfully apparent. Simulated grief and ostentatious parade of the dead, intended to enhance tho popularity of tho paradors rather than do honor to the deceased are the thing at present, and, in view of the fact, if a man who had acquired prominence wanted"to die ever so bad ho would feel inclined to hesitate—and say with Rip Van Winkle when asked if he would save his wife from drowning, "I'll go homo and yust think about it!"

POLITICS.

"What's your politics?" is a question not now so easily answered as in former years by tho average American voter. When one stops to think it is a inattor of no little surprise that the organized politics of the country should fall so far behind its actual politics, as represented by tho industries, the politics, the wants and vital questions of the time. There aro two organized parties in the country. Republican and Democrat are still the names. But the platferms of the contending parties aro only modifications of each other. Each trios to say what tho other says in a more striking way, and to say one or two things the other omits. They are simply bids for votes. Tbc3r do not express convictions, but calculations on the chances. It is hard to tell a Democrat from a Republican save by the label lie wears and the company he keeps. In fact ho is a Republican with uuimportant variations, clamorous for reform if out of office and on the mako if iu office. Tho two bodies might chango places in a night and nobody but thomsclves would suspcct tho movement. One wan*s a little more tariff and the other a little less both ant the support of the National Government. In some sections the Democrats are for more greenbacks and tho Republicans want to get on a specie bawhile in other sections opposite views aro held. The Republicans liavo inflated tho currency—as was thought it would bear without disastrous breakage—and the Democrats of Ohio nre clamoring themselves hoarse for more greenbacks in face of theii hard money traditions. Like the old Roman priests, the politicians cannot look each other In the face without laughing, and it would seem that soon weTl »U have to toss up pennies see which 'party we will support. All this Is because the organised politics of the country Is an inheritance and not a vital fact growing out of existing relations and exigencies. Thero are signs of the breaking up of the old parties and the building of new ones upon the ruins.

THERE'S no telling what a man can do until be tries, and what a great many men will not do, though possessing the ability. The Philadelphia Star stales tb«tt it took one individual seven hour* to psint a single telegraph pole, while another person did the work in twentynsven minutes. Tbo latter, it is true, performed his task under the stimulus of a wager, while the former perhaps worked by the day but making doe allowance for the difference in circum-

IN March last the United States Treasurer stopped issuing fifty cent fractional currency in order to rid the country of the counterfeit notes then reported to be largely in circulation. The new plates are now ready, and on yesterday tho Treasurer began the issue of the new fifty cent cent notes. The vignette is that ot W. H. Crawford, who was Secretary of the Treasury under Monroe.

AN association for the insurance of their own churches, on the mntual plan is talked of among the Methodists, The idea is a very good one. The insurance business, properly managed, is almost always profitable, and no property is considered a safer risk than churches. The amount invested in these edifices is enormous, and as all of them are insured why should not the profits of the company be applied to the treasury of the denomination it represents?

ENGLAND is perhaps on tho evo of a war with China, and yet no ono ventures to think that the Chinese could make any effective resistance to tho small English force which would be sent against them. But suppose the 300,000,000 of Chinamen, with their patience, industry, and imitativeness, should some day wake up and become a military power after the model of Germany. All Europe combined would not undertake to go to war with them, and China, instead of being a nation hardly worth treating civilly, would suddenly become the one great power of tho world.

ARK we to have another epizooty similar to that of 1873? We regret to say that there is reason for serious apprehension. Ten thousand horses aro suffering iu New York from a disease similar in many rcspectsto that which so almost universally attacked those useful and patient animals two years ago, although as far as it has developed itself, it does not appear to carry the same degree of fatality with it. The Delaware papers speak of a disease prevailing among the equinesin a portion of that State, and which has proven most maligrant and deadly. From other parts of the east we have such alarming'accounts of the progress of the epidemic as leaves little hope that the west will escape another visitation.

THE Grand Rapids Post says that exSenator J. R. Doolittle, in a recent public address, expressed his belief that the readiest means of abolishing the abuses that have crept into our popular elections is to adopt "household suffrage" by giving married mon two votes, one for himself and ono for his household. Undou btedlv tuch a plan would work something of a reform, but it will puzzle many people to know why woman suffrage should be reached in this halfway, roundabout manner. Ifthe household is entitled to two votes bj' reason of the wife's presence tho wife is certainly entitled to cast that vote. Any other doctrine is too much like the slaveholder in former times casting votes in proportion to the number of negroes ho owned. _____________

A coiiRKsroNDKNT of tho New York Evening Post makes the suggestion that every person condemned for a less offenco than murder or arson should, upon a second conviction, bo deemed a professional criminal, nnd be incarcerated for lil'e. Some of the best minds in England have considered itandariived at the conclusion that it would be cheaper and safer to provide prisons capable of holding the whole professional criminal class than to bear tho terriblo evils ofits excessive increase. It is a cruel farce, says tho correspondent, that the police should stand in our streets and seo professional burglars, pickpockets, counterfeiters and ruffians prowling about by day and night, und even nod to them as familiar acquaintances, when they know tliat the discharged convicts are only waiting an opportunity to repeat thei r'cri mes.

IN the opinion of many sensible mon, we shall never have prosperous times and hard money until economy is more generally practiced, and the lovo for costly foreign finery abates. When American men and women are content to wear goods of American manufacture, they say. and girls of the rising generation are taught that there is something more desirable In life than fine dress wo may hope to ke*p some of the gold and silver that now weekly finds its way to Europe at homo. Here is an illustration of tke prevalence of this insane love for dress. A girl was expelled from one of the public schools of San Francisco for stealing school books, which she sold, and the proceeds of wliich she applied to the purchase of fineiy. We pity the girl, but blame tlie parents.

MOOD AND SANKEY. It seems remarkable at the first that men without culture, who talk in the homely dialect of common life, whose exhortations are fall of stories picked up in the streets and shops and rail-cars, whoee theology is extemporaneous rather than classical, and whose gospel has quite as much Prairie as Palestine in it, should have made such wide spread sensation in England, and held iponster meetings in the cities for months, and drawn bishops and members of Parliament to their platform, and beside making thousands of converts have left a permanent memorial of their labors, for which a quarter of a million dollars were subscribed at a single breakfast. The fact is creditable to them and their methods. And it suggests whether our costly religious appliances cannot be made vastly more effective than they are by the application of the same qualities they have exemplified. ^Esthetics do not take the place of earnest convictions, and costly opera music does net begin to move and satisfy and uplift the masses like the simple straius of oldfashioned melody. Common senso is better than culture without it, and the man who can speak to the million, in language they are familiar with and understand^ the great elemental truths of life and morality and religion may have a following even in cur time as great as that of Whitefield or Wesley. The miracle is not that Moody succeeds so well, but that so few of our ministers adopt his tactics. Perhaps his coming will lead to needed changes in our whole method of religious teaching and influence. If it shall result in a revival of honesty and purity and disinterestedness and tho homely virtues and gracos that make lifo beautiful it will provo a memorable event.

WB always did think, the doctors to the contrary notwithstanding, that thero was a deal of humbug in the assertion that one should never eat freely a short time before going to bed, and wo are glad to find that we are not alone in this opinion. Mr. Frank Buckland, a noted English naturalist and physiologist, speaking from his own experience, asserts that the best timo to go to bed is immediately, or very soon, after the principal meal of the day. "All animals," ho remarks, "always go to sleep, if they are not disturbed, after eating. This is especially noticeable in dogs and the great John Hunter showed by an experiment that digestion goes on during sleep more than when an animal is awako and going about." Mr. Buckland finds also a confirmation of his theory in tho drowsiness which settles down on elderly men over their wine. "Natnre says to them, 'Go to bed.' They will not go to bed, but still nature will not allow her law to be broken, so she sends them to sleep sitting in their chairs." We aro disposed to believe that the old theory respecting tho unhealthfulness of going to bed JuBt after eating is fully as unfounded as tho one asserting the healthfulnessof long walks before breakfast. Tho latter theory has been for some time exploded, and the former seems in a fair way to meet tho same fate.

THK Summer has drawn to a close and tho first breath of Autumn has reached us. Tho extraordinary season Just passed inclines many physicians to the opinion that considerable sickness will prevail—indeed wo already have evidence of this. Most of this sicknoss arises from ague, fevers and colds. Caro shosld be taken that houses are dried by the use of flres and flannel undergarments should be freely used, and thick shoes worn. Caro should be taken as to diet, but here no general rule can be given, tho personal tastes and habits of persons entering into account. Especial care should lie exercised in guarding off coughs and c-olds, for these acquired at this juncture frequently last through tho winter, and sometimes constitute tho basis of chronic if not immediately fatal disease. Regular bathing and thorough nibbing will do much to ward off slight attacks. _____________
