It is easier to criticise severely than ' ..... . . : to put oneself in the place of the ob- ject censored and see how it feels." Bat there are some things that are self-evident and in which it is not possible to dp great injustice, even r though the criticisms may be over drawn. . Ono of these things is the dilly-dallying of Congress with the ; great subjects that have been before it under discussion for months. This Congress is not a remarkably strong body in either house. There are perhaps four or five able men in the Senate, and a smaller number in the House. Still we do not agree with a Washington correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer who pro nounces it "the most indolent, unin teresting and trifling of all its prede cessors within the memory of man." It would be hard to eclipse the imme diate predecessor. It criminally blundered through its sessions and fearfully muddled many important sabjects of legislation. The paragraph quoted below from this Enquirer correspondence is en tirely just: ..' . . Early in the fall when all business was stagnated by the panic, Congressional ac tion was looked forward to as the only safe guide, or authoritative indication of what policy the government would adopt in re gard to the great question of finance. So much indeed, was the need of legislation felt, that the President ; was urged, and at one time seriously contemplated convening Congress in extra session for the purpose of restoring confidence and averting threatened disasters to all branches f trade during the winter season, and consequent hardships and suffering amonsc the poor Congress met, I but what has been accomplished? Virtual- ly nothing. More than three months have iif of i a ,-i,f a-.c cussions, of numberless measures and upon any one of which no two prominent Sena tors, or members agree. Judging from the line of argument pursued by Senators, one would suppose that each State required something different from the balance of the country, that there is no-generaljanacea, no basis upon which to establish a national 1UUUCUU V B YDlCLLl.

CREMATION. Cremation, incineration or body- burning for burial, practised by the classic ancients, is advocated by scien tific persons in England. They claim ior u equm sanctity, more economy of money and space and greater healthfulness. With a mingling of veneration for classic usages and util itarian views they ask the world- Christian, pascan and neutral to return Jo the days of urn-burial The apostle of this new-old method is bir Henry Thompson, who has ylth reSpect to the punctual fufill wnttea several articles on the subject ment of their financial engagements, which have been translated into Ger- ' man Tndr it ! appears, been received ' I . 7 with aicertain degree ot tavor by the Germans. The city council of Vienna has ordered the establishment of an- j- MinaWteinna;.ot.t,. . .a r. i . , , ' the council of Gratz has under con- sideration a proposition to provide means for a cheap and decent burial by cremation. These cities will leave the mgdeof burial optional. The Peruvians have a method of burial differing both from Ours and '...that .of the heathen ancients. They' t i f i. t have pnbRo vaults which are rented for a year, lhe body is laid out and enveloped in Iquick-lime, the closely- fittinsfrdoor of the vault beins? locked for t.WP?v rrwi, At , . . - .'Tv wy tnat time it is tound tbat all of the Dody but the larger bones has been consumed1 and these are buried in another place. ' TT;i a L it i j ii in -.-America snau Decome so densely populated as to render crema tion necessary on the ground of health and room, we imagine our. people will continue the! good old practice of placing the unjfcftitilated body away in the bosom of its motlmr Arth tn await the-llesurrection Morn. Chris tian people cannot easily c,ast aside the feelings "that link them to immor tality for all 'the teachings of a gross utilitarianism or the subtle, beautiful fancies' of a by -gone pagan era.

As to the rumor that the so-called volcano is the crea tion of the diseased mind of an illicit distiller who bad consumed his own stock rather too recklessly, it is not deserving of contradiction. Every cultivated North Carolinian knows tbat whiskey may produce monkeys and snakes, but that by no possible process of evolution can it produce volcanoes. Even were we to admit the truth of the scientific theory that no volca no can exist at a distance from the sea, we should only be postponing the pos- sibility of a volcano in the North Caro lina mountains.

Galton on Scientist' Heads. Francis Galton has been giving a very good. lecture on the character istics of eminent men of science, and ,tf0m this we learn that the average size of the beads of these gentlemen is 22 inches which is an excellent . size. vJnly eignt went over tne aver age; half of the number were Eng- hshinen of pure race, and the other half were mixed bcotch, English and Irish.

Of all the great living scientific authorities to whom Mr. Galton has applied for statistics, the chief and profoundest characteristic is, he says, energy, and immense power of sus- laiticu uiciuai lauvi.

In all these cases the man was most to blame no doubt notably so in the case of burns, Byron, Swift, and Dickens. But on the other hand. what could be more lovely than the married lives or liobert and JUizabeth Barrett Browning, and of Robert and Caroline Southey ? So far as the mar riage goes among the common herd, it is good or evil, as the parties make it.

Printed from new; type, .and illustrated with Several thousand Engravings and Maps. The work originally published under the title of The New American Ctclopedia was completed iu 1863, since which time the wide circulation which it has attained in all parts of the United btatee, ami the aignal developmeats which have taken place in every branch of science, literature, and art, have in. duced the editors ana publishers to submit to anov act and thorough revision, and to if sue a new edi tion entitled Tua Amkrican Ctclopedia. Within the last ten years the progress of discovery in every department of knowledge has made a new work or reference an imperative want. The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful au plication to the industrial and useful art and tliB convenience and refinement of social life. Great -wars-and consequent revolutions have occurred, in volving national changes of peculiar moment. Tu civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. Large accessions to our geographical knowledgu have been mide by the indefatigable explorers of Africa. The great political revolutions of the last decade with the natural result of the lapse of time, Lave brought into public view a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one's mouth, and of whote lives every one is curious to know the Darticnlar Great battles have been fought and important siege maincaincd,"of which the details are as yet preserved only In the newspapers or in the transient publica tions of the day, but which ought now to take their permanent and authentic history. In preparing the present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim of tbe editors to brin" down the information to the latest possible date" and to furnish an accurate account of the most re cent dif coveries in science, of every fresh produc tion in literature, and of the newest inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of the progress of political events. The work has beenvbegun after long and careful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful termination. None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact a new Cyclopaedia, with the same plan and compass as its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such im provements in its composition as have been suggest ed by longer experience and enlarged knowledge. The illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give greater lucid ity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of science and of natural histu -ry, and depict the most famous and remarkable fea tures of scenery, architecture, and art, as well as the processes of mechanics and manufacturers. Al though intended for instruction rather than embel lishment, no pains have been spared to insure their artistic excellence; the coet or their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an admirable feature of the Cyclopaedia -and worthy of its high character. ' This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It will be completed in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous colored"Lith ograph Maps.
