'tTMeofiventlenal Decoration dny tul -'4rMM does net contain much that Is fMtrudtive or useful. It is chiefly or- MmefltaK The blare of the war trum pet Is heard through It ; and these fresh from the passions of the conflict de net tell Its story with Impartial truth nor historical candor. If they would con flue themselves te the aetual narration of what they 8a w or even what they did, vthey might threw seme valuable light en the events of the period and make con cen con trlbatlenn of greater or less weight te the record, but when they pltinge into n gen. - wal discussion of the causes and conse quences of the great struggle, they tee often become merely scntlmcnUl If net entirely superficial. Cel. McClure, who we believe dees net claim te have been much of a soldier, steps out of the beaten path te give his Graud Army friends and their audience geed udvlce, when he tells them they can .beat vindicate their own claims te the (gratitude of the country and its bounty -by weeding out the hypocrites and pretenders who abuse It te get pensions that they de net deserve. We have seme cases of this kind In our mind's eye net far from here. Some of the subjects of them would have te blush If called upon te explain in public where they met the wounds for which they draw pay. The Decoration day orator has sue ceeded the Fourth of July speaker, and much of the florid and sprexd eagle style, which In the old ttme distinguish ed the latter, new characterizes the memorial orator. An annual oration in every community en n theme of public interest is net a bad thing ; if it is upon BOme live topic, originally vigorously and honestly treated. If the Decoration day speaker, who new has this func tion nil te himself, will improve his chance te tell hew much mero glorious and conduclve te national prosperity are the arts of peace than these of war, and if he will address himself te practical, living questions, the usefulness of his appointment will be exalted. Cremation Methods, In our news celuranB te day will be found two sketches which exhibit the practical and poetical side of cremation. The observations of an eye witness upon the methods of this new and improved process of disposing of dead human bodies disclose netnlug revolting nor irreverent in It, and it certainly appeal? with mere force te the higher sentiments of our nature than the burial under ground of the body In its present form, subject te the slew and hideous decem position of the soil, net te speak of the terrors of grave robbery, the dissect ing room, cemetery removals, and ether veritable associations of the present sys tern. The argument for a cremation furnace in cuutres of population te be provided for the necessities of epidemic and ieri ieri edi of infectious disease is a very strong one, as presented by the advocates and frendsef sanitary science and only needs I te bestated te have its force admitted. It I is the function of municipalities te pro tect their citizens from the dangers which cremation offers te conserve, and of patriotic people te give their approval. A well regulated crematory, It wjiild seem, therefore, ought te be a valua ble adjunct te a well regulated municipality. Whatever sacrifice one may be asked te make for the living or te prolong and pietect life, it Is nut reasonable nor moral toexpwe the living te danger out of consideration for the dead ; and when that censldera Hen Is net founded en a healthy senti mentality, sound science or true religion, it should net be allowed te stand in the way of salutary reform. On the Tltirit Trial. It is again the field against Blaine, and that statesman has cause te be nervous ever the situation. It is net long slnce he gave out that hu had strayed Inte tlie green paths of literature and gene en forever from the dusty high reads of politics. We regret te say thnt he was net believed. Having twice almost reached the presidential nomination he actively pursued, no one w.i3 credulous enough te believe that be would net again seek It. He has vigorously trained for his third race, aud has had the great advantuge of preparing for it in private me. lie has avoided the many pitfalls which beset tlie path of tlie public elllcer and has a freshness of appearance which can only conie from a period of rotireraBnt. Seemingly Illalne npiears nt this convention In hotter condition than nC his previous essays, aud it leeks much as the'igh he would be successful In tils third trial, dangerous as Is his position of leading candidate. Mr. Iilalue has cause for the nerveuauess with which he awaits the result. As partisans we can wish him luck, for his nomination will be weak. Doer Well Nuisances. The Philadelphia Time calls upon the city uutlietltles te take coguizance of the Impertinent scamps who dug at the deer bells et private houses wltli all aorta of things te eell that no ene wants. It la a great nulsance and ought te be abated. This custom of private solicitation at houses Is an Imposltleu en the housekeeper, whose time ia tnken upunswcrlng the deer bell and dismissing the Intruders, and It is also n wrong te the town Btere keepers, who supply everythlug ueeded in the household, nnd who are entitled te the trade which these forelgn solid solid ten seek. There is a class of these pee pie whp pretend te be very respectable, audi na tbe drummers et Philadelphia grocers, who ought net te be received by our householders any mere than the commoner class et tramp venders. It would be it great deal better all around if our people would buy at the stores which are opened for their patronage, whether here or elsewhere, where they see what they get und buy only what they want. We have no Idea, however, that the - .i wneiu, vuub me town nutherltles care te abate these bell ringing tenders, slnce they cannot even step bell ringing beggars, whom It is the duty of the pollce te arrest. Whilb it Is a subject of general regret that there Is no organized histori cal society lu this city and county te collect the valuable material for local history, of which tee much Is getting away, it is net te be forgotten that the Llnminn society has a his terical department which haa already apprehended ntid preserved much of this kind of matter, and which affords tin. U'Rt nrrseut lit depository for it. Tliis useful organization, unpretending and few in numbers, has done a noble work and Us (wlf-micrltlclng members deserve every aid in thelr labors and most grateful remembrance. We are quite sure they would welcome popular co-operation In every line or work te which hitherto they have given their attention. If they will second the call, previously suggested in these columns for a meeting, say at the LIihkv m rooms en the last Saturday in July, of all theso Interested In forming such a historical soclety, we feel confident It can be made a success. Tun Philadelphia ltteerd has been showing up for some time the fact that Phlladelphlans pay a great deal mere for their coal than the people or mere uis tnnt cities. President Geweu, of the lidding railroad, was ahead of tl.e Recerd In showing this, ami several years age undertook te sell coal di rectly te the people ; the trouble being that the local coal dealers charged a very high profit and were obliged te de se because theie were se many of them and each sold se few teus that he had te get a large profit per ten te get a living out of the business. This is a case in which enmtietitlen does net seem te work te reduce prices. The coal dealers seem te have been strong enough te defeat the Reading railroad's undertaking te furn ish coal te the Philadelphia consumers at first hands and te cling fast t the great profits they reap out of their trade. Hew this happened the Recerd may pro fitably inquire. Blune's chances for the Republican nomination, anil the size of bis latoecd decorations grew larger iu the same ratio.

Iii rcspouse te many inquiries made jib te the practical way of disposing of a human body by cremation, uud te ntterd a clear conception of its I'lleotlvenets, beauty anil attractiveness we copy from n pamphlet written by "An I'ye Wit ness " of the process, who had before re garded it with repugnance, but who had been led by witnessing it te be a nasi earnest advocale : "A furnace tire in built ami kept burn ing for twenty or thirty hours before the oiematteti took place. Immediately abote the lire is placed iu a horizontal position a cylinder of clay called the Incinerator thii'O feet iu diameter by seven feet long This lire clay incinerator, the wall of r, hleh are from oue te tw j inches thick, receives te Itself the tntetiMi heat of the lire below, but docs net admit tlie flames The consequence is tint the body, when placed lu the lucineiater. it net, in a lirejier sense of the word, burned. It is mltiqed te ashes by the chemi cal application of intense heat. Oases ure driven off or absorbed, ami, beiug carried down into the tire from the incinerator and led back nud forth twenty live feet through its flames, are utterly consumed. Even the smeke of the tire is consumed, and nothing out be seen from the olilniney but the quiver of liie heat. The process might be called, as we have siiil, the Fpintuahzatieu of the body, the ethereal ethereal izatlett or eubhuialleu of Us material parts. " Wheu the incinerator has Iuhu raised te a white heat It is ready for tbe reception of the remaius.

"The bedy,being decently clad for burial and tenderly laid in the crib provided for the purpose. Is wholly covered with a eleau white heet which has been diiqid in a solution of alum. The effect or this is entirely te prevent emoke or fumes or llame, which would otherwise arlse from putting auythiug iullaruuiable into the midst of such a heat; but uudcr its pro tection, even the extraordinary heat of the incinerator does net produce upon the body tbe nppcaraucu of scorching or auythiug of tLe sort.

" Fer iustauce, the bodies of all people dying of infectious diseases at the Lazarette or the Slunicipal hospital should bu cremated. If for no ethor reason, the safety of the living demands the step. If you like, test my opinion of the ceuragoef the beard of healtu by twklng questions of themselves. I will guarautee you will Hed that while seme members or the beard favor the cro cre cro matien of bodies of people dying of in fectious diseases for sanitary reasons, they are net ready te take the initial ive until public elamur compels thorn." Extended iuqulry among tin members of the heard established the correctness of the physi man's declaration. While all admitted that hoyend all question thore should be cretnatleu in the class of cases, moiit.ened, no ene suemed te be willing te take the llrst step in the matter. One very safely advanced the idea that if it get out that cremation was the praotice hore sailors could net be induced te ship fur this pert aud thus au iujury would be done te our commercial interests. His idea was thnt the old tars would shake their heads and warn the youngsters te stoer cloaref Hades and Philadelphia as the places where thore was greatest danger from flre. " Most certainly I bolievo it would he right te oremato bodies of all who die at the Lazaretto or Municipal hospital," said Health Ollleer Veale. "The clothing, beds and beddiuir of theso who die of yellow fever and smallpox are always burned aud I thiuk the beard of health would be justified iu orderiug the same disposition te be mude of the bodies. The beard Is new operating uuder the old law of 1818 and the city and country have out grown it. There is ureatneeil nt im legislation in sanitary matters, iu order te make the work of the beard effoetlvo." "I bolievo iu orematlou for saultery reasons," Bald Dr. Joneph D.

He inquired what had boeomo of tlie holy martyrs if audi was the case. I am opposed te publie fuuerals of porseus who die of contagious dhioases. The beard tried te have an ordinance- pasaed forbidding such funerals, but it failed. There is mero Huporstltlen in the world than ia commonly known.

"1 think an ordinance passed by oeuuolls would be all tlie Hiwer neeiled by the beard te earrv out this idea Yiw, sir, the bodies of all who die el infection diseases should be ereinatrd under com pulsion of a legal enactment. We have a crematory at the .Municipal hospital, where tint clothes and btvldiug or Infected persons are burned, but If we were te order the burning of tint badies, public opiulen would make It exeee ltngly warm Ter us."

The learned physician had come te the conclu sion that the latter is an "inexpressibly ili:ttstiug way of disposing of a dead human being." In this opinion nil who are net swayed by inherited iustiiiets or acquired prejudices it is hard te tell which they are will cordially agree. In a former uncivilized age it was be lieved that matter was destroyed by lire ; but as it is new a thoroughly established fact that matter i j indestructible, it fellows that the olemeuU of the b.vly, though caused te enter into freh combinations by the action of lire, exist just as rarely as slter burial iu earth.
