As a sanitary measure In large cities there is a steadily growing opin ion tbat burning the dead will in lime come to be considered a necessary pre caution. The Indianapolis Journal thinks that President Cleveland's message contain ed only 'what everybody knows.' The Charleston News and Courier re plies that it certainly presented infor mation tLat everybody ought to know, and some things besides which the Re publicans would prefer not to have known: Commodore Charles Lownde3 (retir ed) died at Easton, -Md., last Monday, after two weeks' illness of paralysis. He was 88 years old, and was appoint ed to the Naval Academy in 1815. com missioned as lieutenant in 1825, as commander in 1841. as captain in 1855 as com modore in 18C2. - and as prize commissioner at Baltimore in 1864. He was a brother-in-law of the late Admiral Franklin Buchanan, ranking admiral of the late Confederate States navy, and hero of the naval combats between tbe Merrimac and the United States fleet in Hampton Roads, and also, of the fight against Admiral Farras jut in Mobile Bay. Geo. Toombs and Simon Cameron were U. S. Senators at tbe same time acd were iriends. It is'related of them tbat just previous to the outbreak of the war, when Toombs was about to leave Washington and return to Georgia, a discussion as to the situation arose be tween them. Toombs- declared, that the South would secede and Cameron remonstrated with him against such a procedure. 'Finally, when they were about to part. Cameron remarked that if the Southern States .went out they would be whipped back again, where cpoa Toombs promptly replied that an opportunity would bo given to the Xorth to make the attempt. At the c'ose of the war the two met in Wash ington City and shook hands very cor folly with each other .when Cameron recalled the last conversation they bad had together and laughingly remarked ifc&t his prediction had been fulfilled ad that the South had been whipped bck into the Union. "In that you are mistaken," quickly replied Toombs. "You did not whip us; we wore ourselves out in whipping you." This u literally and emphatically the truth, and is the best thing of tbe kind e eter beard.

Tho history of his life would fill a volume of as interesting matter as could be published. The sketch is from the New York Sun : Robert Toombs was born at Wash ington, Ga , July 2, 1810. He was graduated from Union College in 1828, and studied law at the University of irglnia. He began the practice of law in his native town. In 1836 he served as a captain of volunteers in the war against the. Creek Indians. The next year he was elected a member of the Stale Legislature of Georgia, in which he continued to serve, w'uh the exception of the year 1841, until he was elected to Congress in 1815. Jle ropre sented his district in Congress continue ously until 1853, when be was promoted to the United States Senate. lie served one torm in the Senate, aud was re elected for the term ending in 1865. Pre vious to 1850 he wasin politics a Whig. He entered into the disputes which led up to tbe rebellion with great energy, being an extreme pro-slavery man. After Lincoln's clcctiou he was one of the tforemost in urcing tho South to arms. Ho was intensely devoted to thi interests of bis own State, and vehe mently insisted that Georgia should follow the example of South Cnrolina and secede from tho Union. lie made a fiery secession epeech at MHledgeville on Nov. 15, I860, and on Jan. 7, 1SG1, he openly advocated secession on the floor of tbe United Stales Senate. In the course of an inflammatory reply to a speech of Senator Crittenden oa that occasion be exclaimed : "The. Abolitionists have for loug years been sowing dragons" teeth, and they have finally got a crrop of armed men. The Union, sir. is dissolved." At that time South Carolina alone bad passed an ordinance ot secession, but within two weeks afterwardGeorgia passed a similar ordinance, and four days later, on Jan. 23, Mr. Toombs withdrew from tbe Senate. On March 14 tbat body expelled him, He became a member of the Con federate Congress at Moutgomery, and from February until September, 18G1, he was Provisional Secretary of State for the Confederacy, He afterward became a Brigadier-General in tho Confederate army, but did not succeed well as a soldier, his impetuous and imperious disposition rendering him unfit for military discipline. He wa3 several times ordered under arrest for disobedience of orders. It was not far from Mr. Toombs's home that Jefferson Davis was captur ed by Federal soldiers. Toombs him self barely escaped capture at tbe same ! time, and for several doys he was con cealed in the house of Col. F. A. Tate, in Elbert county, Ga. It is said that at this time the negroes on Col. Tate's blantation became aware ' of Mr. Toombss presence through his resem- plance to a portrait of himself which nuns m Col. Tate's parlor; but they faithfully kept the fact from the Federal detectives who were on the track of the fugitive and offering rewards for his canture. He finally escaped to France, and lived for several months in Paris. After the passions of tbe war had cooled and be returned to his na tive Georgia, be had -lived quietly at his old home, being possessed ot con siderable property, but he could not forgive the North. He refused to ac cept a pardon from the Government exclaiming, it is said : "Pardon me! Why. damn 'em, I haven't pardoned them yet!" His advice is a lawyer was some times sought by the railroad and .other corporations, although ho did not actively practise bis profession. He never lost bis interest in the welfare of Georgia. He was one ot the prime movers in calling the Constitutional Convention of 1877. and he insisted that the Constitution of 1868 w.is a nul lity, as its ratification rested on the bayonet, and it was a badge of slavery to live under it. He wanted the Con stitution to be tho work of the people of Georgia by their own free will, even it they did no more than to ratify it as it stood. When tbe State lreasurer was in doubt as to his authority to pay members of the Convention for extra days of service, Mr. Toombs, said, "I will advanee the money out of my own pocket, and trflst the people of Georgia for its repayment." Ha advanced $30,000, which the next Legislature re funded. He was intensely proud of his State, and would not hear her good name assailed. On one occasion he chanced to hear a lawyer in the Su preme Court room intimate tbat Geor gia would not pay her debts. The im pulsive old man at once interrupted the speaker, and, addressing the Bencb, said: "May it please the Court. Georgia will pay her debts. If she does not, then I will pay them." In his lateryears Mr. Toombs be came somewhat infirm, his sight es pecially failing him, and a cataract be gan to form upon one of his eyes. He was fend ot relating bis political remi niscences, and found many eager audi tors. He took great pleasure in the presence of his grandchildren, by whom bo was surrounded in bis rich ; and comfortable bouse in the little town i of Washington. 7 C. W.

We give one elsewhere and wo give another here, neither of which we have ever seen in print be fore: In an encounter once with Ben Hill, Mr. Hill closed a most masterly efiort with lbe sentence. "It is ay greatest privilege anil , pleasure to serve my God and myself." Toombs in his reply ceded his speech with the sen tence, "It is no doubt my friend's greatest privilege to serve his God. but his greatest pleasure is to serve biro self." LOCAL NEWS. I -!
