Gen. Joseph E. Johnston says
that he lias no doubt that his
contribution to the Grand Army
fund will be followed by that of
other Ex-Confederates, and adds:
"There was no animosity between
Northern and Southern soldlersdur-
Ingthewar. I remember three or
four times when, under flags of truce,
the opposing ranks rushed together
and broke into fraternal groups. I
never met a veteran of Sherman's
army without pleasure. The ani
mosity against the South was fo
mented by ' politicians, not by
veterans."
Cremation is gaining ground slow
ly but surely In New York City, and
the crematory operated by the Uni
ted States Cremation Company, at
Fresh Pond, I., is now paying ex
penses. Since the organization of
the company in December, 1885,
there have been 180 bodies inciner
ated 129 males and 57 females.
These were the bodies of people in
all the different stations and em
ployments of life, although the
more intellectual occupations- are
best represented, as a rule. Mer
chants stand highest in number,
pllyslclans second, and journalists
third of those who have directed
that their bodies be disposed of in
this manner.
The cremation of two sons of the
King of Slam, which occurred at
the end of February, was a cere
mony of great magnificence. For
fifteen days Bangkok was given up
to revelry. No work was done, and
such amusements as fireworks, illu
minations and interminable dra
matic performances were provided
nightly and kept up till 2 or 3
o'clock a. m. The building in which
the cremation was effected cost
more than $250,000, and externally
presented.the appearance of a pal
ace of gold, so gorgeously was it or
namented. Yet it was only a tem
porary structure, and has since
been taken down.

Capt. Bowdn' Sndden Death. '
It is with . great" - regret that we
chronicle to-day the death of Capt.
Joseph N. Bowdeh, one of the most
highly esteemed presidents of this
city. For some months past Capt,
Bpwden had been invalided, suffer-ing-from
a complication of diseases,
chief among which was - Bright's
disease. Lately he had seemed bet
ter and hopes were being entertain
ed of his ultimate recovery, but last
evening, about 7 o'clock, while sit
ting at the supper table in company
with his motherland two sisters he
was seized with a jivertigo : and fel,
back in his chair and expired almost
before any one could reach'his side.."
Capt. Bpwden was about 45 years
of age and had been in the employ
of the W..C. & A. R. R. continuous
ly since the close fof the war as a
passenger conductor. He was prompt j
faithful and efficient in thedischarge
of his duties ahd courteous and con
siderate to all. !i
1 !' '
He entered the .Confederate ser
vice when a mere 1 1 boy and served
faithfully and cheerfully through
out the war. He was first a mem
ber of Co I, 18th N. C. Regiment,
when a mere lad of seventeen, and
was with that regiment in its first
fight at , Hanover Court Houses
where he was severely wounded. He
was afterwards transferred to the
10 regiment (artillery) and partici
pated in the fights at Fort Fisher.
He became a prisoner of war on the
fall of that stronghold and was ta
ken to Elmira where he was paroled
a few months after at the close of
the: war;and returned to his home.
Capt. Bo wden had never married.
His life-was devoted to the care of
his widowed mother and sisters, to
whom he was thoroughly devoted
and who, God help them, are incon
solable in their great loss. He was
a man of varni and ardent impulses,
with a heart which harbored none
bat kindly thoughts, for others, of
an integrity unquestioned and of a
walk in life honorable and honest
and upright in the sight of all men.
For some time past he has been a
member of Grace M. 'E. Church and
died in full communion with that
church. if
