SANITARY KXTOJIBMUJiT, We hnve been much interested in tin rending of a pamphlet under the ill hvi title written by the Rev. Charles R. Trent, rector (if the Church of the Arch angel, New York City. The subject it one which deeply louchcs Immunity in nl its relations to the (lend, enlisting the in fections, involving the sentiment of pride und then, by great descent, coining tliiwi to practical considerations ol the hcaltl of the living. The first are the natural spontaneous, predominant ones; tin other only arise under the pressure oi increased population when the dispost tion of the dead passes beyond tin realms of sentiment, and goes into tlmsi of practical statesmanship. Then nrisci a conflict which may have begun, and in doubt did begin, in a very early stage o human history, when the necessities o safety of person and security of proper! enforced that aggregation of human Ik ings that made up the enormously pop ulous cities of ancient times. Sciitiiueni was stifled by utility, anil the disposi tion of the bodies of the dead was con trolled by practical reference to the wel fare of the living. Among some people? the voice of nature was not uKogclhct unheard. In I'gvpt n vague idea ot ! future state probably suggested tha idea of embalming which indefinitely pre nerved the mortal frames, bringing then down to these remote modern times si n hideous travesty, and humiliating a.-i tire on mortality. Other nations, lc hopeful or less credulous, and apparenth less sensitive or less affectionate, mailt quick haste to efface nil vestige of th dend except what was included in tin handful of ashes remaining after crein.'i tion, to be piously treasured in einerat urns, or scattered broadcast to tit winds, it did not npteur to matte which. Others ngain introduced tin loathsome and contemptuous practice still observed among the l'arsces, of ex posing dead bodies on the tops of SK-ei.-tll prepared towers, to lie consumed by tin fowls of the air in orgies so foul am filthy as to degrade the sentiment of !iu ninnity to its lowest depths, mid put r on exact level of the last stage of tin beasts that perish. Hut we must refer to the more tiniver sal practice, that which prevails nraoiij most of the moderns, that which is oh served by us, the general one of burial ii the earth, and that which maintains it the cities mid towns. It is not so niticl the social int-tinct, which in life uggre gates the living with the living as a m ccssity that brings the dead to the deai in one common burial ground, from gen erntion to generation, until, in process of time, there comes to pass such a eon fusion of remains that identity is lost . nnd this fact among others has led tt the variety of suggested reforms in sep ulture; for if the grave does not sccun distinctive immunity, why pcrivtiiatc a method which falls short of many of in most cherished expectations? lletweei the surviving living and the cherished dead there is perpetuated, or lioK-d ti lie perpetuated, an unbroken link, to bt kept bright by carcot the sacred grave watered daily with tears kept vcrdaui with the living turf, brightened with tin rich nnd fragrant flowers. What, if in addition to the hideous transformation going on beneath the cnith, the bus work of the worm, the steady process o; decay, the gradual absorption of tht mortal frame, there should lie in the saint spot and it is often the case in thickly tennnted graveyards antecedent re mains of bodies unknown to the mourn ers, those connected by no possibility oi tender association ? And then the pious care resolves itself into an almost Itidi crous worship of it false idol, or an empty sepulchre. Perhaps this very confusion, mid this inevitable existence of a "valley of dry bones" in every long tenanted cemetery, has led more potently than any other in fluence to the abandonment of the churchyard grave, nnd the general re sort to the rural or adjacent cemetery. And to this we give our preference lie yond any other form of the disposition of the dead. There is no such pressure upon us as there is upon the huge cities where increase of the living presses con stantly upon the reservations for the dead, involving inevitably detrimental unitary results. In our smaller South ern towns the suburban cemeteries can be used for many generations, to he cherished and beautified as the silent cities of the dead. Through its streets we walk silently, reverentially or tear fully, The link between us and the dead remains strong and bright, and every thing invites so to keep it. All the repul sive suggestions of the grave are ban ished by the solemn stillness, the eloquent memorials, the carpeted verdure, the cheerful flowers. We walk among these last resting places at among the abodes of friends from whom he have just parted, who have just gone before, whom we shall soon rejoin. Possessing such places of repose for those we loved, we feel happy in the thought that we shall never bt compelled to the resorts which, the best of them, harrow the human heart with its teeth of agonizing grief cremation, which turns at once to nshes the forms around which our affection had been so deeply twined, or the alternative suggested by the writer of the pamphlet before us, ilcssicntiug them, and setting them up in specially designed places, perpetually preserved, a hideous mockery of our griefs its imagination vainly tries to ani mate those iliieil-iip frames with the warmth and animation that in their lives won to them our dearest affections; perhaps at some future time tn meet at the hands of irreverent interest the fate that has befallen the Iigyplian mum mies so piously prepared, the skull oi king or priest used "to stop u crack to keep the wind away," or bones til pens- tnt to fertilize the fields that are to Ice. I generations separated by thousands of veurs. A IIAKIISONi; l.lililttl.ATOH The Albany correspondent of the New York Star paints the following portrait of a member of the New York Legislature It is a picture as much physical as mental or moral in its delineations, anil in that . lilVcrs from what imagination might (.-on line up as rising in the halls of Congress with eyes inflamed and I'ealuies distorted in glowering hate at the South, limit .sonly imagination, lor we know some if these gentlemen to be among the best looking men in the world, out of their eats "roaring as gently ns sucking loves," not K'i haps really inclining any harm, hoping perhaps that their speeches nill be taken as "sound and fury, signify ng nothing." Itui let us see this real portrait of the Satyr who seems to menu ill he says and does: t'.eorge Z. TCrtviii, the Satyr of St. Law ence, rescinlilcs the great t'md I 'an, win .vas the ugliest oi the gods. Itisiiiigraci- uis to dwell upon the physical nionsirosi- I'-s ot any one, nut tnc scut i nous nun lisgriiccliii attack w hich the Say tr made moil Senator Ives to-dav takes him lie- .olid the pale of polite treatment, and cutlers ll necessary lor an iiiiciiigi-ni re ilal ol the disgraceful incident of the lay. Mr. Krwiii'n face suggests a gro .esipie mask even when he is in a (piiet iiooil. When mim-i-i-il. lie is the exailllilt if a fiend in liirv. His small eves and Ins aige mouth lake on most grotesque ex pressions anil sliaics. His huge, over- laiiL'iu ' loiehead wrinkles up to the thu me of hair -n the top of his head, his inge neck swells into varicose veins, his icctling eyebrow s rise mid loll, and his iiitrained voice, onlinaiiiy a deep bass. .tiiiilcnly Ilies up to the highest leiioraiul Irons in the same sentence to an almost iiiiutelligilile grunt. This is when he is ingrv, and to-day he became angry, chipping himscll into a passion over Mr. Ives'oppositioii, expressed in the politest .erms, to Mr. l;rwiu's electric iuvestiga ion project. "It is in the applic.iticu of it," as Capt .Itiusli said. It makes a vast dilfcrence . In I her it is your bull or my ox that is ;orcd. The Ktroit Tribune has sonu omnicnts on the recent colored conveii .ion lit Chicago, which constrains it to ive some very good advice to the col red people ol the North whom the Trili .ine conceives are pushing themselves for .vard with uuscinilv haste, or its dciciid ng for their advancement upon inllti nces and cflorls outside of themselves, fin-advice of the Tribune is excellent. iVe endorse every word of it. Hut it is idviee of home application altogether. It applies it Ux-ause the shoe ln-gins to inch at home. It is another affair when he South is subjected loan apprehension f what now threatens some cotnimini- -ies of the North. To the Southern icgro the Tribune and its confreres were otid enough in crying out "lay on .Mac lull," but to the Northern negro it qieaks when the same trouble threatens m very soft notes ol deprecation or in .cry oracular tones oi paternal advice. Yc quote only one paragraph lit pics ,nt from the Tribune in connection with the approval of this and similar conven tions: "Hut nil this must lie done by the colored men themselves, nnd il they fail it will lie argely their fault. If conceit, ambition mil sill-seeking shall lie the dominant haraeteristies of the men who secure leadership ainong them, discord will lie uiiroiiuceii, a union oi vnori me hi : lling thev most reiiuire will Ik- rendered impossible, and failure will lie the neces sary result. There needs to lie genuine. ell-saeriliciiig devotion to the interests I their race on the part ol its meiuliers. and the banishment of schemes and pur posts that have only iiersnual advantage in view. Will they rise to this disinter ested level ? Il sol there is luqie. If not. hey nre doomed to bitter disappoint ment. (nir colored fellow-citizens here at the North must ehicllv secure the betterment if their own condition and thev can do it. It is of little use to complain ol a lack of consideration mid to stop with that. This will secure little attention and no relief. They must com in I respect incl consideration bv solid merit and suc cess. On this ground alone can they prevail. Nor will success come quickly lint only ns the result of long unit patient effort. Tin re is wrong mid foolish pre-indict- to overcome which only time and siilistanti.il achievement can remove. When we made our comments on Ingulls' sieeeh yesterday morning, we did so without having more of the siecell before us than was conveyed in n telegraphic report, compara tively full as to the first pari, very meagre as to the ol her. We arc glad to find that our conclusions are fortifn-d by the opinions ol so able a journal us the Baltimore Sun, of the 2th, drawn ufler rending the SH-ech in full, The Sun says: The lurid six-cell of Sennlor Ingulls yesterday upon the position of the Alri can in this country willnttrnetutlcntion, pnrtlv by the nppiirint fairness of its ex ordium mid partly by the unjust nnd purtisnn ciuiraeier oi iin vwiiciunnui. fhe African and Caucasian races cannot mingle, he says; they lire distinct social, intellectual and moral strata. Politi cally the African is a failure under free insiuuiinun, na mc coiiiiilioii ui im Sotith under reconstruction abundantly proved. Senutor Ingulls sees nil this with clear vision. He makes it plain that if he lived in the South he would favor a thorough-going solution of the race oroblem. As he lives where society and prosH'hty nrc not imperiled by the presence of the African in great numliers, what he advises practically is thut the South should voluntarily duss through a second reconstruction era. Though he knows I letter and shows it in Ins speech- he asserts, in conclusion, that the race antagonism In the South exists only be en use negros vote the republican ticket. If be would but turn democrat "the race question," he says, "would be over," This is puerile nonsense unci unwonny in the Kansas Senator. There have been four-solutions of the problem suggested, he snv8 emigration, extermination, no sorption nnd disfranchisement. He re jects them all and calls lor a fifth "justice." Ity justice he menus allowing the African to vote freely. As he already beyond question voles freely in the border and ninny Northern Stittcs, with out dispelling "race antagonism," the Senator's reasoning is clearly at fault. The speech disappoints. In the first part ,kt'it id,, sti'ioiior nuts on the semblance of the statesman; in the last part he is a politician merely. Confirmed. The favorable impression produced on the fust appearance of the agreeable liquid Iriul remedy tiyrup ol l-igs a lew veins ago has been more than confirmed liv the pleasant experience of nil who have- used it, and the success of the pro prietors and inantiiaeturers, tnc minor uia Fig Syrup Company. jiakkkth iiv ti:i.i-:i;kai'h.
