THE POST-OBIT BUSINESS.
It is certainly a matter of considerable, im
portance to make suitable provision for Jurying 1
and being buried, when the questions of living
atid letting live have been finally disposed of.
business,” as we have deuomi
natcidjp/he different duties that are discharged
for the dead, is, in its nature, a serious and
soberj&ie; and yet it is apt, in these days of
“improvement,” to take, on an aspect of grim
which provokes a sense of humor,
even in the most sedate mind. The post-obit
business includes the undertaker, the obituary
poet, ’'the grave-digger and the cemetery busi
ness, and in all of these departments the gro
tesque element comes out very strongly, as
familiarity begets its natural results, and com
petition 1 presses over the boundaries of good
taste and decorous propriety.
The undertaker’s" share of the post-obit busi
ness abounds with the grotesque. To his ac
customed mind, a funeral and its sad prelimina
lies are simply matters of professional business.
Thought and action are limited to a constant
dealing with the dead, and his work is to him
as much A work of art as is the modiste’s, who
arrays the blooming belle for the ball or the
bridal. “ Won’t you walk up and see us ? We
looking very natural -this morning?” once
sulked an undertaker of us; and we appreciated
the artistic fervor with which he had imbued
fire post-obit business. And Mr. Mould only
took an asthetic view of his' business when he
said :^> T o, Mrs. Gamp, I’ll tell you why it iB.
It’S because the laying out of money with a
.. well-conducted establishment, where the thing
v :fc performed on the very best scale, hinds the
, broket heart and sheds a balm upon the
founded spirit. Hearts want binding .and
’spiritsHvant balming when people die. Look
U at this gentleman, an afflicted gentleman, an
? affectionate gentleman, who knows what it is
S in the power of money to do, in giving him re
* bef, and in testifying his love and veneration
.... *7for the departed.”
Competition in this branch of the post-obit
occasionally blooms out into poetic
liojdvetfesements, siich as this:
hl *‘A man that isborn must surely die,
And in. a gravo his body lie;
1 ' f Jf he has friends who love him dear,
* They will respect him on the bier—
A handsome coffin of the best, -
A handsome shroud andneativ dressed,
A glass hearse, with feathered plumes,
To convey his body to the tomb.
Plumes black or white for old or young,
Arrayed in style for the funeral throng.
■ All these things you’ll find complete
At t)2G street.
nothing here is left undone
jj'or father, mother, daughter or son,
Coffins cheap and ready made,
Prom richest style to lowest grade.”
The obituary poet’s share in supplying the
grotesque element to the post-obit business is
a very large and increasing one. And here the
illustrations crowd upon us. Rhetoric, rhythm,
„ rhyme, grammar and imagination have con
spired to go crazy over the dead, sparing neither
age, sex nor condition in the wild grotes
queneßS of their poetic wailings. From a rich
store of contributions to the obituary column
•four distinguished neighbor we cull one or
two choice efforts of native art:
‘‘Cease, fond parents, cease to weep,
Little Bailie lias gone to sleep.
The clock in Heaven is striking three,
But few more days I’ll he with thee.”
‘■Oh, -wife! could you hut see our children
here,
Plying around,robed in golden -wings;
Hb fighing nor cry ing, none shed a tear,
Cod leads the glee, and the angels sing.”
“It is hard to part a mother dear,
lake-wise a little hoy.
Bnt hope in Heaven, we soon ehall ineet,
Where all is love and joy.”
“Although she’s gone, we cannot have
Her stay no longer here below;
For while her body : goes to the grave,
Her soul to a better world will go.
*<Blie bid lier children ail to meet
\ JBer up in Heaven when ]ii'e is o’er;
, / Andwith her. take a happy rest,
'Where parting never comes no more.”
“Hark, mother, doth hear the angels ?
Oh, how pretty they tan sing.
They call me, mother, so fare you well,
I can hear'the bells in Heaven ring.”
\ .} V “Can we never see thy face again,
lb ■ Nor. ever hear thy voice,no more,
|‘l Nor nevir have thy willing hands
\jr ,5 To <lo lor ns as done before?”
T v Two “gems of purest ray serene,” we have
‘Reserved to - conclude this branch of the
! -
V ■; “Too sweet a bower to bloom on earth,

And shall we never hear again

“Tell him I am iiving with that God:
That I have joined the angel’s heavenly
hand.
We have Washington sitting beside our Lord,
With the Star Spangled Banner. grasped in
: his hand 1”

v ohjt business has furnished its illustrations of

immemorial;

We presume that the question of increasing
the salaries of the teachers in our public
schools will come up in Councils, to-morrow,
or at an early day. When it does come up it
will be an honor to Philadelpliiaif'thc increase
is approved by a unanimous vote. We have
heard a suggestion that the Democrats do not
mean to vote for this measure, with a view of
charging the Republicans with increasing the
public expenses, but this is too improbable to
be worthy of a second thought. There is
nothing but credit to be gained by an expendi
ture which has for its object a measure of jus-
tice to a company of hard-worked, half-paid
women, and the Democrats are too wise to give
their op ponents all the advantage of this credit.
One of Mr. Steinmetz’s arguments against
increasing the salaries of teachers was that they
would get more pay than the shop-girls. They
might do that without accumulating much..
The public generally, who are not School Con
trollers, are of the opinion that the services of
a teacher are of a higher order than those of a
shop-girl, involving somewhat more elaborate
preparation, and possibly a more elevated sort
of responsibility. Without disparaging those
who earn an honest, living behind the counters
of our shops, we candidly think that a teacher
is more important to society at large and should
be better paid.. There is a prejudice in this
country in favor of education, and a very large
class of the community holds to the doctrine
that the intellectual labor aud moral responsi
bility of those who are training the rising gen
eration for future usefulness to society deserve
a generous support from the public in return.
If Mr. Steihmctz and his two colleagues iu
the Board of Control will go in for a move
ment to elevate the standard of salaries for
shop girls, instead of taking their present dread-,
fully low wages as the standard for the
women who teach in our schools, we
will go with them, heart aud soul. But it is
making .a bad tiling worse, when we use it as
an argument for doing the same wrong to
others. •
We feel full confidence that Councils will
respond heartily and promptly to the just and
generous proposition of the School Controllers,
and hope that they will do so unanimously.
BKOAU S'iBEET.
Select a dark, wet night,—a ‘-corporation
moon-light ” is the best for the purpose, as the
dark is then a little darker—and walk up Broad
street, from Arch street to Spring Garden
st reel, Then cross and return on the opposite
side. If you have a lady with you, the effect
will-he considerably heightened. Endeavor to
persuade yourself that you- are propienading
the principal street of Philadelphia, about the
length and-breadth and beauty of which we
are wont to boast more than a little. The
eiiort of the imagination will he a wholesome
exercise of the mentalfaculties, while a success
ful preservation of your temper will endearyou
forever to the partner of your dangerous and
dirty journey.
While the railroad tracks remained in Broad
street, there was a semblance of a shadow of
an excuse for the execrable condition of the
side-walks of that thoroughfare. The numer
ous “turn-outs” of the warehouses that line
both sides of the street precluded the probabil-
ity of good pavements for foot-passengers, and
people floundered along in the mud-holes, and
stumbled over the rails, with a sort of despe-
rate resignation to the inevitable. But the
tracks have been removed many months ago,
and there is no excuse for the continuance of
this disgraceful nuisance. It is full time
for the Highway Department, or whoever has
charge of our sidewalks,to compel the property
owners on Broad street to put their pavements
in proper* decent order. It is a disgrace to the
city that our finest street should be obstructed
and disfigured, and our citizens annoyed by
the ruts and stumbling; stones and nrud-holes
that stretch in an almost uninterrupted line on
both sides of Broad street' from Arch sheet up
to Spring Garden street. Will not the proper
authorities look to this nuisance and have it
abated?
The excitement over the demand for the re
lease of the Spanish gunhoats in New fjork
seems to be entirely unnecessary. At present
these vessels are the property of the contrac
tors, and the contest for their release will be
carried on between the owners and the Peru
vian minister, at whose instigation the seizure
was' made by our government. This formal
demand will the quanplto the .courts,
and tf- the Pekudgg minister cannot substan
tiate ids clalmj’ourgovernmentmust-either re
lease the gunboats or recognize the indepen
dence of Cuba. Unless Congress expressly au
thorizes the latter course, there is little doubt
that the President will choose the alternative
and let the vessels go. In any event—even if
we extend belligerent rights to the Cubans—a
war with Spain need not be feared. That
power has its hands entirely full just now, and
it will not be likely to enter into a conflict with
the United States while its treasury is bank
rupt and its government disorganized, and in
the face of the fact that it cannot subdue a'
very diminutive rebellion in its most powerful
dependency.
The students of Bellevue Hospital have
come gallantly to the rescue of their gyneo
' phobic brethren to Philadelphia, and have as
sured them of then- hearty sympathy to tbeir
efforts to exclude women from clinical lectures.
They lament that '“the status of female stu
dents under the laws of New York” does not
allow them to follow the manly example of
their Philadelphia brethren of the scalpel and
pill-box. Tills looks timid in the Bellevue
braves. Do they mean to 'say that medical stu
dehts cannot hoot and jeer at women with im
punity in New York? Will not those wise
men of Gotham, the iEsculapian fathers of
Xvrk, endorse and approve those little de-
zth*ltru•vftltrMit-^ , "
monstratlons of disrespect and inault, as do
. the fathers of medicine in Philadelphia ? Then
is New York indeed, and we shall look
for a large influx of her, medical students to
our own happy hunting grotihdsj where woman
, is taught 1 to know, her place through those
■ practical teachers, tobacco-quids, groans, ridi
cule and obscene jests, the elders standing by
the while, holding the 1 garments of the yourrg
men while they stone the defenceless women
to death. - - ' ■ • . ■ ' '
prevqils lo a large extedt in Cali-;
fornia,.and.especially in Sau Francisco,, Djs
appoiritmeirt in the pursuit, of wealth is con
sidered the principal cause. During the year
ending October 31, 1809, no less thau 214 per
sons were examined by the Commissioners of
Lunacy in San Francisco., ! Of this nutnbdr, 3
were discharged at once, 7 were • sent To. the
Home for the inebriates, 8 to tire Alnis House,
and the remainder to the Insane Asylum at
Stockton. Only 5 were reported cured in, and
discharged from, that .establishment. Of TOG
persons sent to the Asylum, 118 were single
men, which is supposed to indicate tliatbachc
lorhood is bad for the, brains. But as a large
proportion of tlie population of San Francisco
consists of young men who have gone there to
seek their fortunes, the proportion ivho become
insane is probably not greater than among the"
married men or the women. ;of the place. But
the gross amount of insanity is very great for a
city of. the size of San Francisco, and it shows
that tlie love of money, besides being the root
of all evil in general, is an especial cause of
mental disease.

Harkihutjhg, Nov- 34.—Governor to
day signed tlio death warrants of Adani Titus,
sentenced in Cumberland county to be hung
for the murder of Henry Htahm ; and of Dr.
Paul Selioeppe, sentenced in the same county
for the murder of Miss Bteinecke. The day
appointed for the execution of both is Wed

Tennessee Politics.
(Hprcinl by the Pacific and Atlantic Telegraph, J
Nashville, Nov. 34.— The sentiment of the
Legislature on the Chinese question was de
veloped yesterday in the passage of a bill in
corporating the Mississippi valley Importa
tion Company. An amendment forbidding
the importation of Chinese into Tennessee
was adopted in the House bv a vote of 55 to 1.,.
Tlie Convention question is exciting a good
deal of attention. throughout the State, and
there is no lack of candidates. While there are
no well defined issues as yet enunciated in
connection with the election of delegates, it is
-well understood that there is an undercurrent
of feeling on two points, especially the
repudiation of the citato . debt and negro
suffrage. 1 ft is broadly asserted
that Andrew Johnson, who will be adelcgate,
will represent the repudiation and anti-negro
suffrage ideas, and that he will press them on
the attention oi the Convention. There will be
a few of the same style of' thinking, but it
is reliably certain that the political
personnel of the convention will ho such that
the Btate credit will not he tampered with, nor
is there any doubt that the negro will have
political rights extended to him by constitu
tional provision. .
The Legislature is rushing through business
pretty lively, it will probably adjourn about
the middle of December.

SUICIDE AT NEW CASTLE, DEL.
- Edward Fortner Cats Ills Throat in
Prison.
Edward Fortner, for some (lavs confined in
prison, on a charge of setting fire to a frame
building, belonging to Walton Whann & Co.,
committed suicide Monday morning, about 3
o’clock, by cutting his throat with an old pen
—knifcrdiewas louud-by-Jamcs-M.-Wlse, Jr,,-
. -the .Warden of „Jthe prison, at the.
hour before stated, lying upon the floor
of his cell, with the Wood flowing from
his' wounds; besides the main wound
he had stabbed the knife several times Into his
throat, with an apparent, determination to
make the self-murder certain. Dr. Ferris, the
prison physician, was immediately called
upon, and ilid all in his power to save the life
of the prisoner, but, notwithstanding all that
could he done, lie died at a quarter before one
O’clock P. M. Dr. Ferris says the Wound did
not necessarily cause death, but the intem
perate habits of the prisoner having brought
on spasms, his life could not bo saved.—lFM

THE ELECTIONS IN FRANCE.
Rochefort on HIM “Safe-Condnct."
The subjoined communication from M.
Rochefort appears in a Paris journal:
Paius, Nov. 6—My Dear Friends: The
journals of tliecourt are absolutely bent on
persuading me that J. am under an obligation
to the Emperor, because, having had me ar
rested at tho frontier, he ordered my release
eight hours after. I should.profer the public
to the Uomtitutionncl for my judge. The fact
is that, at noon, a Commissary of Police said
to me: “You are a prisoner,” and at eight in
the evening he added: “You are free." Suoh
is the incident in its entire simplicity.
The magnanimity of tho government is there
fore confined to making a blunder „ at
mid-day and perceiving it eight hours after;
that is to say—as it lias done for eighteen years
when it was too late. I should have never
theless loft the journalists cf the Chamber dust
in [peaoo their seato there - if' they had not
mingled with their "eulogium onthesovercigil
tho story of a safe-conduct which they recount
the more dogmatically that it does not contain
a word of truth. Tho safe-conduct is a mere
dream; nobody ever spoke to mo of one, and I
have never teen it. if tlio >gsyl?3rnmeot had
had the bad taste to offer me oue, I should
probablyhavo replied that I was not anxious
to be sate, and 'tliat I did not wish to bo con
ducted— I should most likely have thrown it
In his face. Tho explanation was neoessary, I
think, to excuse my ingratitude, which is
more radical than ever.' Accept, etc.
, Henri Rochefort.

or-.constitutional right to force such note* upon tho
people. '
If. It will not, therefore, abolish or violently put out
of i»k* greenbacks, 1 (it simply make- their use optional.
111. The Court will not force contract* made in green--
hacks to be settled in coin— because it cannot impair tho
obligation of contracts : then fore debts contracted in
grven.barkß will be paid in greenbacks, or in their equi
valent in gold.
IV. I* it not probable that when tho compulsory ac
cept ance, of greenbacks c'-wsts. their credit will improve ?
If A is forced to take IJVnole. for a debt, he is ,iiis*atis
tied : if he buß the option to take note orspnicthing
els*, he is likely to look into B ! «* condition, If ho find*
that jj is son ml. that hie* Income largely exceed* ex
penses, that hK bm*im*tM is matag**d economically, and
that be has no lawsuit* on hand, A i* likely to think
much better of 11V credit than he did before.
V. If the Supremo Court's decision leaves the tu of
greenbacks optional, they will continue in use jus so
far and so long as they serve the < convenience of-the
pcdple : and at precis: ly the rat** which represent* tho
confidence of the people in tin* government.
VI. Hut as they will be of uncertain valuo.it is likely
that business transactions. especially those which in
volve time, will gradually ccme to ho done on a cold
foundation, bo far a« this goes the decision of th>* court
would act ns a permission, merely, to use gold. But it
seems clear that, as rapidly as the public convenience
would allow. and no more so. gold would be adopted as
t he standard for all transactions.
VII. Nodebtor ran b«» oppressed, on the pretext that
such a decision enforces payment in gold of a debt con
tracted in greenbacks-. The courts, in their equity ju
risprudence, have full power to enforce such contracts
acci.-rdingto their terms, and will not help a creditor to
exact more. ' .
VIII. So far as we have gone, everything seems to
show that a decision against tho Legal-tender act would
nmke no immediate change or revolution in the trade of
th»* country. The decision would forco no chaugo or
violent substitution of gold for paper. It would ouly
bre.sk down and drag aside a harrier, and give tho people
an opportunity to make the change. That they would
not be over-quick to mako it, seems probable.from tho
fact that ad' ciMon t*f the Court several mouths ago
made gold contracts legal.and yet hut very few persona
have availed themselves of that permission to substitute
gold lor greenbacks ,

New Yobk, Nqv. 24.'—The money market is
unchanged,,,at r B to 7 per cent, on calls for
mixed collaterals; and 5 to C per cent, on Gov
ernments; primo business notes 10al5 per
cent. Many of the banks report fresh orders
again for currency from the Sodth and West

Gold is heavy and lower, opening at 12(if and
declining to 1201—the latter price is the
lowest since March 24th, 1800, when gold
touched 125. The large supply is beginning to
be felt in the carrying rates. The brokers pay
from 0 to !) per cent., currency, and 7 per
cent., gold, per annum, and 1-32 per cent, per

India to Liveri>ool in thirty-days, at a low rate
of freight. 1 ' ,

Washington, Nov. 24.—Some thteehundred
American claims have already been filed with,
the United States and Mexican Claims’ Com
mtssion, for amounts varying" from $5OO to
$3,000,000. Some claimants demand very sen
timental damages,) hut most of tho claims
appear well-founded. Some fiftjr cases grow
out of John Napoleon Seaman’s expedition,
which sailed from San Francisco to Lower

about 1857, Seaman himself appearing among
the Claimants.
The Secretaries of the Commission on the
part of both governments have been busy for

claims, and the Commission will be ready to
proceed with its work when it reconvenes on
the first Monday of December.

First mortgages upon m'ost railroads are the
very safest investments, and so far as we can ? ' -'
learn, there is not a single completed line in
the Northwest which is not only paying its
interest, but a good dividend upon its stock. ,
The Immense grain and other freights t<e?J)e

First Mortgage Bonds for sO’“ small an
amount upon a road running through such a
rich and already well-settled part ofTuwa, can, '
well be recommended as a perfectly safe as ■
t well as very profitable investment. At a
